Kong Jie was stunned and asked: "Didn't it mean that the 129th Division was not under your command? Can the Japanese major generals killed by the 129th Division be considered business?"
"That's right!" Li Yunlong nodded and announced to everyone Boss Chen's new "war criminal bounty" business.
Now, as long as the Eighth Route Army kills Japanese generals, it will be counted as three times the business, and if it kills the commander of the Class A division, it will be six times the business.
Everyone's faces were full of joy. The business of killing a Japanese general was already very rich, let alone triple the business, which would be even more super double.
"In addition to tripling the business," Li Yunlong's lips curled up, "Boss Chen revealed that after this battle, we will also have new weapons!"
Everyone paused slightly while drinking and eating meat, and the look of anticipation in their eyes became more intense.
"Old Li, this battle is over, should we bomb the Japanese homeland?"
District Chief Lu of the Central Hebei Military Region asked with expectant eyes.
District Chief Lu was a regimental commander of the Northeast Army in his early years. He followed Marshal Zhang and Marshal Zhang and witnessed with his own eyes how the Japanese occupied the Northeast.
Killing the Japs on the North China Front was not enough, he also wanted to see the Eighth Route Army's bombers bombing the Japs' homeland.
If possible, he would also like to personally take a long-distance transport plane of the Eighth Route Army to see how the Eighth Route Army's strategic bombers bombed the Japanese homeland.
District Chief Song of the Jinan Military Region on the side also looked at Li Yunlong: "Old Li, how many bombers do we have in the Eighth Route Army?"
"bomber?"
Li Yunlong's eyes revealed as he thought: "Our Eighth Route Army now has at least 250 bombers, but we only have 100 heavy strategic long-range bombers."
Before the start of this battle, Li Yunlong exchanged a batch of medium-sized B25 bombers and strategic transport aircraft.
During the battle, Li Yunlong exchanged for another 300 aircraft, including 50 strategic bombers.
Including the previous 50 strategic long-range bombers, there are a total of 100 strategic bombers.
District Chief Song's eyes lit up: "100 strategic bombers? Based on the calculation that one strategic bomber carries 10 tons of aerial bombs, then we can drop 1,000 tons of bombs on the Japanese mainland at one time!"
District Chief Song's words made District Chief Lu's eyes light up like light bulbs.
"In this way, if God is good, we can destroy Tokyo in two or three times at most!"
District Chief Lu's words were harsh.
Compassion does not control soldiers, justice does not control wealth, and when dealing with little devils, blood must be repaid with blood.
Li Yunlong revealed the "Yunlong BBQ" plan to District Chief Lu and District Chief Song.
"Yunlong Barbecue" is considered a top secret in the Eighth Route Army, but with the status of these two chiefs, they can definitely know about this plan.
“But now is not the time to implement ‘Yunlong Barbecue’.”
Zhao Gang took over what Li Yunlong said: "Now the Japs still have more than 1 million troops on our land. Once we dispatch long-range strategic bombers to bomb the Japs' homeland, the Japs in China will definitely massacre our people until we drive the Japs out.
After China, we can implement this plan."
The two leaders nodded upon hearing this, with a look of pity on their faces.
The lives of our compatriots are the most important thing, and we cannot allow our compatriots to be brutally killed by the Japanese just for the sake of temporary convenience.
However, the Eighth Route Army had heavy long-range bombers in its hands, which also prevented the Japanese from killing Chinese people at will.
The two leaders then remembered that before the battle began, the Eighth Route Army headquarters had indeed issued a clear warning to the Japanese.
Li Yunlong said with sharp eyes: "Although the Yunlong Barbecue Plan cannot be implemented yet, we can bomb the Japanese airports and arsenals in the Northeast, as well as the Japanese airports in Central and South China, and destroy the Japanese aviation power and military production capacity. There is no way
Air support, lack of weapons and ammunition, I think the Japanese soldiers, what can they use to fight our Eighth Route Army on the battlefield?"
…
Japanese country.
Tokyo.
Prime Minister's Office.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister."
Under the protection of the guards, Tojo Hideji didn't dare to stop for a second after getting off the car and quickly walked into the Prime Minister's Office. A staff officer quickly walked over and took over his uniform and sword.
The news that the army had suffered a defeat had already spread back to the mainland.
Although the people at the bottom don't know yet, the high-level and middle-level officers of the Japanese country and people from all walks of life are already aware of this.
China is spreading the word, and even if the Locust government wants to hide it, it can't.
Paper cannot contain the fire, and it won't take long for the people at the bottom to know about it.
News has spread that someone is blaming him for the defeat and wants to assassinate him.
When he returned to the office, a large group of staff and officers were waiting for him.
Tojo couldn't help but think of the scene in the Locust Palace that made him sweat profusely, and he almost stepped down.
However, Tian Locust chose to give him one last chance to resolve the North China Incident as soon as possible.
Otherwise, Tian Locust will choose a more capable person to be the prime minister.
Tojo knew very well that he had no way out. In order to become the prime minister, he had offended too many people.
All the staff and officers stood up and saluted Tojo Eiji.
Tojo Hideji's face was cold, and he pressed his hands one by one, and all the Japanese officers sat back down.
Tojo Hideji said in a deep voice: "You must already know about the North China Incident. What do you think?"
The Japanese Army's North China Front was defeated, and the Eighth Route Army recovered North China, which was recorded as the North China Incident.
As Tojo Hideji expected, as soon as he finished speaking, except for the naval officials, the faces of the army ministers became even more gloomy.
Army Chief of Staff Shan Sanyuan said with a gloomy face: "The China army is playing with fire. They have completely angered the empire. I suggest that all locust army troops in China be immediately assembled to wipe out the China army in North China!"
Tojo Hideji looked at Sugi Sangen and asked in a deep voice: "Misugi-kun, how many troops does your army have in China?"
"About a million more!"
Shan Sanyuan lowered his head and replied:
"The Kwantung Army has about 350,000 people, the Expeditionary Force has about 350,000 people, the South China Expeditionary Army has about 250,000 people, and there are also some garrison units and mixed brigades."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The main forces of the Japanese army in China include the Kwantung Army, the China Expeditionary Army and the South China Front Army.
When the China Expeditionary Force was first established, it included the North China Front Army, the Central China Front Army and the South China Front Army.
The Jinling Massacre was committed by the Japanese Central China Front Army, but the Central China Front Army was disbanded in 1938.
In addition, the South China Front Army also separated from the organizational sequence of China's dispatched troops in 1941 and was changed to the direct jurisdiction of the base camp.
At its peak, the Japanese army in China had 2 million troops. However, with the outbreak of the Pacific War and the Southeast Asian War, many Japanese troops were transferred from China.
In addition, the number of Japanese soldiers killed on the Chinese battlefield reached one million.
At present, no less than 350,000 Japanese soldiers have died in North China.
Under normal circumstances, the total strength of the Kwantung Army was no less than 500,000. However, due to the successive defeats of the Japanese army in North China, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific, the Kwantung Army was successively deployed to participate in the war, resulting in serious troop losses.
Tojo Hideji asked again: "What is the total strength of the locust army?"
Sugi Sanyuan replied: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, our total army strength is currently about 2.6 million, and including reserves, there are a total of 6 million."
"Shimada-kun." Tojo Hideji looked at Navy Minister Shitaro Shimada, "How many troops does your navy have?"
After the full-scale war of aggression against China broke out, Shitaro Shimada was appointed commander-in-chief of the Second Fleet.
In 1940, he was transferred to the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Fleet. In the same year, he was promoted to the rank of Navy Admiral and directly commanded the Hundred Days Bombing of Chongqing and the operation to seize Hainan Island.
Now Shitaro Shimada serves as the Minister of the Navy in Tojo Eiji's cabinet. Because he obeys Tojo Eiji in everything, he is ridiculed by his colleagues as "Tojo Eiji's belt".
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister." Shitaro Shimada replied respectfully, "Currently, our navy's total strength is about 330,000. Although our navy's strength is not large, they are all elites. We are not like the Army's Red Deer, which are all a bunch of deadbeats."
"Baga!" Shan Sanyuan was furious, "You navy are the losers."
"Am I wrong?" Faced with Sugi Sangen, Shimada Shitaro was not so polite. He snorted coldly, "With a total force of nearly 3 million, it can't defeat the Tobali Army with hundreds of thousands of people.
Your army is a disgrace to the empire, and all of your armies should commit suicide."
Shan Sanyuan was not a vegetarian either. He snorted coldly and retorted: "Most of the empire's military expenditures are allocated to your navy. Your navy was actually defeated by the American army in the Pacific. Looking at it this way, your navy is not ready."
The deer should be disemboweled to apologize."
Shimada Shitaro shouted: "What did you say?"
"Baga!" Hideji Tojo shouted angrily, "Do you take me as the Prime Minister seriously? Sit down."
"Hi." Shitaro Shimada lowered his head and sat back on the stool.
There were serious conflicts between Japan's army and navy, and Tojo Hideji had no way to control them, nor did he want to control them.
Not to mention Tojo Hideji, not even Tian Locust can control it. Even Tian Locust is happy to see this situation.
If the Japanese navy and army join forces, it will be a great disadvantage to the cabinet and the Locust Chamber.
Tojo Hideji asked with a gloomy face: "Sugisan-kun, if we want to destroy the China Army in North China, how many troops and combat materials are needed?"
When he met Tian Locust, Tian Locust ordered him to kill the Eighth Route Army in North China at all costs.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister..."
Shan Sanyuan was suddenly startled, but still answered honestly:
"According to the intelligence sent back from the North China Front, the Eighth Route Army has more than a thousand heavy artillery pieces, a thousand heavy tanks, and more than 800,000 regular main troops, with sufficient logistical supplies."
Due to underdeveloped communications, the Eighth Route Army headquarters itself did not know how many main troops it had, only that it had more than 1 million.
The North China Front Army Headquarters didn't even know, so it only gave the base camp an estimated figure, and that was from a few months ago.
In Shan Sanyuan's view, it had only been a few months, and the Eighth Route Army should have consumed a lot of money on the battlefield, probably only 800,000 at most.
In just a few months, how much strength can your Eighth Route Army develop?
After a pause, Shan Sanyuan continued: "If you want to completely wipe out the Eighth Route Army, the Locust Army must dispatch at least 2 million people and at least 350,000 tons of combat materials!"
The corners of Shimada Shitaro's lips curled up slightly, and he originally wanted to make some mocking remarks, but seeing Tojo Hideki's stinky face, he was too sensible to speak.
"so much?"
Tojo Eiji was suddenly startled.
During the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, Hideji Tojo prepared 500,000 tons of combat supplies, and he had the courage to go to war against the American army.
The Japanese army had no choice. If they did not start a war with the American army, the Japanese navy's oil could only last for about a year.
And now, to deal with a group of Tubal rebels, 2 million troops and 350,000 tons of combat materials are actually required?
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister." Another Navy Minister Oikawa Koshiro said, "It's just a group of Tobali. It's not worth using so many troops and combat materials. Even if this group of Tobali is eliminated, what will the Locust Army get?"
"That's right!" Shitaro Shimada also said, "With all due respect, this is a loss-making business, and in the end it is very likely that you will lose everything."
Koshiro Oikawa and Shitaro Shimada represent the interests of the navy.
Once the base camp has to mobilize so many troops and combat materials to deal with the Eighth Route Army in North China, the resources for the navy will inevitably decrease.
The Pacific battlefield is now tight. If the troops and combat supplies cannot keep up, the navy is likely to be defeated.
Tojo Hideji narrowed his eyes and looked thoughtful.
The current Japanese army is not at the end of its rope yet. With so many troops and combat supplies, it can still be produced by gritting its teeth.
But what Oikawa Koshiro and Shimada Shitaro said makes sense.
Even if the Locust Army could destroy the Eighth Route Army, it would still cost the lives of at least tens of millions of soldiers and at least 35 tons of combat supplies.
What we get in exchange is only North China, and we may not be able to win. This is the most uncomfortable thing.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! On behalf of the army's interests, Dian Shan Sanyuan snorted: "Who said there is no benefit from annihilating the Eighth Route Army? In addition to gaining a large number of people and land in China and North China, the Locust Army also
A large number of heavy artillery, tanks and fuel, as well as a large number of weapons, ammunition and combat supplies can be seized! With all due respect, it would be a waste of money for Tubal Road to possess those weapons, ammunition and combat supplies. Only our Yamato nation deserves to possess them! By then, I will
The Japanese Locust Army has a large number of heavy artillery, tanks and fuel, so will it still be afraid of the American and Soviet armies?"
When Sugi Sangen said this, Tojo Hideji's heart began to waver again.
If they really win, the Locust Army can make a fortune, which is bigger than anything they have made in Southeast Asia.
Oikawa Koshiro mocked: "Sugisan-kun, how can you be so sure that your army can defeat Tubal Road?"
"When our army was fighting in the south, your navy also felt that the American and British troops were very powerful, but what was the result?" Shan Sanyuan snorted coldly and said, "It only took our army half a year to conquer Southeast Asia, destroying and capturing prisoners.
With hundreds of thousands of British and American coalition forces, is the combat effectiveness of Tubal Road even more powerful than that of the British and American coalition forces?"
In the first half of the story, Kawakushiro and Shitaro Shimada had no way to refute.
Because the army's attack on Southeast Asia was indeed fought beautifully.
Of course, the Japanese navy also participated in the attack on Southeast Asia.
The Navy committed nearly its entire force to the Southern Campaign and Pearl Harbor.
"Facts have proven," Shimada Shitaro said, "The combat effectiveness of the Tubal Road is indeed stronger than that of the British-American coalition in Southeast Asia. In this battle, your army used the Kwantung Army, the North China Front Army and the 11th Army, with a total strength of 500,000.
People still suffered a disastrous defeat, how do you explain this Shansan-kun?"
Shan Sanyuan was speechless for a moment. From this point of view, the combat effectiveness of Tubal Road was indeed stronger than that of the British and American coalition forces in Southeast Asia.
But if you want to say that the combat effectiveness of Tubal Road is stronger than that of the entire British and American troops combined, Nashan Sanyuan disagrees.
After a pause, Sugi Sanyuan said to Tojo Eiji: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, in that case, why don't we find a helper to deal with Tobali?"
"Help?" Tojo Hideji's expression changed, "You mean the Chinese government troops?"
