Three hundred and thirtieth chapters Japanese country collapse
The fall of Miyazaki Castle marked the complete change of hands on Kyushu Island. The Chinese army had already obtained a reliable foothold in the Japanese territory. With this base, the Chinese army's logistical supplies would be faster and its frontline replenishment would be more convenient.
After fully controlling the situation on Kyushu Island, Fang Xiaoyu, who was already prepared, ordered Liu Junxi to send a large number of police to the island to maintain order. At the same time, he also recruited 100,000 Ezo people to maintain local security with the cooperation of the national defense forces of the two armies.
Suppress possible Japanese rebellion.
While maintaining the rule of Kyushu Island, Fang Xiaoyu began to send construction teams to expand Kurume Port. It was necessary to build it into a logistics base to support the attack of the Southern Army Group in a short time. In order to speed up transportation, Zhang Zhonglin after withdrawing his troops,
Attacked Ube Port again.
With the cooperation of the Chinese army's landing force that had established a foothold near Gunga Beach, it was very easy to attack Ube Port. The Chinese army attacked from both sides on land and sea, and Ube Port, which was garrisoned by more than 50,000 people, quickly fell. With the support of the port,
, a large amount of supplies quickly landed, and the main force of the Southern Army Group quickly gathered around Ube Port.
The Japanese government, which originally dreamed of negotiating, did not expect that in just a few months, the defending Japanese troops would be retreating steadily. Not only did they lose a large amount of land, but more than 300,000 people were wiped out, and there were also many casualties.
Still rising rapidly.
Only then did they realize what a powerful enemy they were facing. In desperation, the Japanese government announced a nationwide mobilization order, calling on all Japanese people to mobilize and use all available weapons to attack the Chinese army.
After penetrating hundreds of kilometers into the main island, the Chinese army finally began to have a headache. Countless Japanese people continued to sneak attack the troops from all directions. Although all the soldiers were vigilant, the casualties of the troops continued to rise sharply.
In the past, only some sporadic Japanese people spontaneously organized to attack the army. Now with the call of the country, the Japanese men became even more crazy. They carried out crazy attacks regardless of day or night, regardless of the terrain, making the Chinese army exhausted and advancing.
The speed slowed down greatly.
In order to eliminate these crazy Japanese people, Fang Xiaoyu issued an order to increase the deployment of troops from Ezo Island. At the same time, he also sent a propaganda team to publicize in Ezo that the Japanese were cruel and easy to kill, and that the Chinese army now had a good opportunity to attack the Japanese country.
, this made many young people in Ezo have the idea of going to the battlefield.
With the deliberate connivance of the military's top brass, many of the Eni soldiers who suppressed the Japanese people on Japanese soil wrote letters home that were filled with enthusiasm and pride, in which they talked about the joy of revenge and the spoils of war.
rich.
For a time, there was a rumor in the country of Ezo that fighting on the Japanese battlefield was a profession with high pay, low risk, and the ability to kill Japanese people for revenge. As some wounded soldiers from Ezo were sent back to Ezo, this news got publicized.
Confirmed by their own words.
This kind of news was more effective than the propaganda team's vigorous propaganda. For a time, the young people in Ezo who had not joined the army all had the desire to go to the battlefield. The registration office for joining the army in the Japanese expedition was overcrowded every day, and there was an endless supply of soldiers.
The Wa Kingdom is very close to the Ezo Kingdom. Many hot-blooded youths from Ezo who did not queue up at the recruitment office crossed the strait alone by boat. Their number was comparable to the number of people who went to the western United States to pan for gold. When they landed on the main island, they went directly to
The Chinese Army's military camp requested to join the Ezo Army in combat.
With so many volunteers asking to join, Zhang Zhonglin and Sun Zhonglian, the two army commanders, were naturally happy to improve efficiency. Anyway, suppressing the unarmed Japanese people in the rear did not require high military literacy, and untrained Ezo youths were completely
Capable.
For the young people from Ezo who joined the army, the Chinese Army naturally accepted all comers. The number of Ezo's troops soon rose to more than one million. This was definitely a miracle for Ezo, which has a population of less than 10 million.
In order to stimulate the enthusiasm of these Ezo people to suppress the Japanese people, the top Chinese military officials also privately allowed the Ezo people to keep part of the loot. With such material stimulation, the Ezo people who had already hated the Japanese went on a killing spree, and Japanese civilians in the occupied areas
They were quickly slaughtered and all the Japanese property was robbed.
Since the top brass of the Chinese Army had already explained that not all the Japanese were killed, those young Japanese women were left behind. These obedient women without any will to resist would be transported back to the country by the return transport ship to replenish the Chinese Empire.
Of course, in order to maintain the purity of the Chinese bloodline, Fang Xiaoyu decreed that the first wives of all Chinese men must be Chinese women, while those foreign women can only be used as concubines.
The Ezo people will grab 70% of the wealth and hand it over to the Chinese Empire's military, while the rest will fall into their own pockets. Even so, they all made a fortune. In response to the barbaric behavior of the Ezo people, the top brass of the Chinese army chose
Without publicity and tacit consent, the Ezo people would take the blame anyway, and they would get a lot of benefits. This kind of thing, which does not assume international responsibility and can reduce the pressure on public security, is naturally what the Chinese Empire is happy to see.
In order to encourage the actions of the Ezo people, the two army group commanders also sent some logistics troops and privately sent some weapons and equipment to the Ezo army, which made the Ezo army even more motivated.
The Ezo Kingdom has been within the system of the Chinese Empire for some time. They have the same food subsistence allowance system as the Chinese Empire. The people do not suffer from cold and hunger. It does not matter even if the labor force is smaller. The front line has sent them back to the country.
The large amount of loot increased the domestic wealth rapidly. As for the supply problem on the front line, the supply of materials collected was extremely sufficient, and it was enough to consume the millions of Ezo troops.
In the process of the Chinese army's sudden advance, the Ezo army in the rear played a key role. The logistics supply line began to transport materials to the front line smoothly and efficiently, effectively supplying the needs of the front line. The forward speed of the Chinese army increased again.
The Southern Army Group defeated Kurashiki, Mihara, Himeji and other cities, and its troops pointed directly at Kofu in the Akaishi Mountains. The Northern Army Group also played a triumphant song all the way, relying on the rapid advancement of mechanized troops to continuously occupy Morioka, Furukawa and Yamagata.
, the vanguard arrived in Iwaki.
Within three months, the two army groups marched from north to south, conquering cities and territories along the way. Their troops were already close to the Japanese capital, Dongdu City. As long as they could capture Kofu and Iwaki, they would be able to complete the total siege of Dongdu City. By that time,
The Japanese country will no longer have the power to recover.
Under the strong offensive of the Chinese army and the crazy massacre of the Ezo army in the rear, the Japanese soldiers were retreating steadily, and the Japanese people who were afraid of being massacred also moved towards the eastern capital with their families. There was not much in-depth understanding of the Japanese government.
The controlled area now only remains a small area near Kyoto, where the last 300,000 Japanese troops and five million people are crowded.
The Chinese army did not launch an attack immediately. Sun Lianzhong and Zhang Zhonglin both knew that the trapped beasts were still fighting. If the Japanese army was forced to fight desperately, the losses of the Chinese army would not be small. Therefore, they asked the Eni army to speed up the work of cleaning up the Japanese civilians.
A position was built outside Kyoto, and we planned to defend instead of attack.
The Chinese army's defense was to replace the attack with defense instead of sitting on the defensive. They just transferred the offensive responsibility from the army to the navy and air force. Facing the Japanese army with no air defense capabilities, the Chinese Empire mobilized six air force wings across the country.
, more than 400 bombers used heavy aerial bombs to bombard the city of Kyoto in turn, almost turning the city into ruins.
The navy's China-class battleships boldly rushed into Sagami Bay and destroyed the nearby coastal forts one by one. Then the navy fleet blocked Toto Port and, with the cooperation of the air force, quickly destroyed all the remaining Japanese warships.
Sent underwater.
The Air Force and Navy worked together to completely clear the Japanese fortifications on the coastline, allowing the China-class battleships to enter Kyoto Bay and begin bombarding Kyoto day and night. Later, even the Army's large-caliber artillery joined the bombardment.
Under the dual pressure of shelling and bombing, the helpless Japanese army launched several futile attacks on the Chinese army's positions, each time resulting in heavy casualties. Finally, in a round of bombing by planes, the entire imperial palace and the Japanese royal family were bombed.
Up in the sky.
Without the royal family, the Japanese country also lost its spiritual leader. The five giants of the Japanese government, which could no longer suppress the domestic situation, had no choice but to declare unconditional surrender. When the Chinese army entered Kyoto and surrendered, they were surprised to find that the entire population of Kyoto plus
There were no more than three million troops in the army, and the rest had been bombed or burned to death.
Foreign Minister Okuma Shige, the only remaining top official in the Japanese government besides the Big Five, formally submitted an unconditional surrender to the former enemy headquarters of the Chinese army where the two clusters merged.
On August 1, 903, the Chinese Empire declared the destruction of the Japanese state. The Japanese state would cease to exist. The Japanese state's territory was merged into the Chinese Empire and became Yamato County. The remaining three million Japanese in Kyoto, plus the surviving Japanese who were collected from all over the country,
More than three million Japanese were sent to live on Sakhalin Island in the north of Ezo Kingdom by transport ships of the Imperial Chinese Navy.
Sakhalin Island is large enough to accommodate six million Japanese people. The climate there is relatively cold, and the nearest coastline is four hundred nautical miles away. Japanese people without large ships have no chance of coming out. It is very convenient for the Chinese Empire to stock these
Japanese people.
Before these people were sent to Sakhalin Island, the skilled craftsmen and technicians among the Japanese were either killed by the Ezo people or singled out by Fang Xiaoyu to deal with them secretly, while those young and beautiful women were sent back to the country.
The Japanese have returned to the primitive barbaric era, and live a life of fishing and hunting, logging for firewood, and slash-and-burn farming on Sakhalin Island. Fortunately, the land on Sakhalin Island is not barren, and there is a large fishing ground nearby, which is enough to support them.
