"Brothers of the Imperial Alliance Army, the good days of the little devils are numbered. Their bullshit emperor has been captured alive. You have followed the Japanese all the way to the dark side. Aren't you afraid that your Japanese masters will leave you alone after losing power?
, it is the right way to surrender to the National Government as soon as possible. The Chairman of the Generalissimo personally ordered that bygones be bygones, I hope you will make early plans." In the Japanese war zone, wherever the Imperial Army troops are stationed, there are such voices. The Japanese Emperor was not only captured alive.
The Kuomintang-controlled area knows that the news is spreading even in the Japanese war zone.
The airdrop of leaflets sent by Luo Lin to the Japanese war zone was effective. In just three days, more than 50,000 Imperial Army soldiers laid down their weapons and surrendered to the anti-Japanese armed forces. Those Imperial Army soldiers who were still waiting and watching did not want to surrender*
*, but because their Japanese masters were too strict and they could not find a chance to escape and surrender. Thunder's Burmese troops entered Hebei, allowing the Fire troops who had accepted the order to lurk to find a chance to make a comeback. If I want to use one word
To sum up the current situation in Hebei, it is chaos.
The previous Spark Operations carried out by Zhao Zhi against Hebei had frightened the Japanese and puppet troops in Hebei. Most of the traffic arteries were damaged to varying degrees. The telephone lines between the Japanese strongholds were so damaged that even the telephone poles could not be found. Japan
The emperor's capture alive made ordinary people even more angry. The Fire Force troops took this opportunity to recruit new troops. Dozens of Fire Force troops with varying numbers of people were tossing back and forth in Hebei. The Japanese and puppet troops were in panic all day long.
Persuading the Imperial Alliance Army to surrender is a major means for the rapid expansion of the Spark Force. This is mainly because the Spark Force currently lacks weapons and ammunition, and most of these Imperial Alliance Army soldiers who have surrendered carry weapons and ammunition. Therefore, the Spark Force prefers to squat instead of recruiting civilians to join the army.
Face-to-face surrender calls were conducted using loudspeakers outside the Imperial Alliance Army's garrison.
"Brothers, we can't retreat. If you kill one, you can earn one by killing two. As long as we hold on to these Japanese troops, Thunder's brothers will be able to capture Japan earlier. I don't know who should cry then.
." The 74th Army in the Shandong War Zone also had a hard time. After Zhao Zhi took away almost all the Thunder troops in Shandong, the 74th Army became the backbone of the fight against the Japanese army. In order to cut off the Thunder's retreat in Jiaodong, the 74th Army was ordered
The number of Kwantung Army troops moving south has increased to 4 divisions. If it were not for the immediate rescue by the Youth Army, the 74th Army might have been heavily surrounded by the Kwantung Army and annihilated.
The Youth Army has a large number of people. It is an army in name, but in fact it is not inferior to the number of the group army. It is the first division of the Youth Army that rescues the 74th Army. The number of the Youth Army is 33,000. The Youth Army plus the 74th Army have been expanded to 50,000 people.
, there were 80,000 soldiers on the ** side, and the Kwantung Army facing them was 70,000. The two sides started a melee on the Binzhou front line. By the time Luo Lin spread the news that the emperor had been captured, the 70,000 Kwantung Army were still there.
Couldn't get past the defensive line.
Wang Yaowu and the 74th Army, who were on the front line, did not know that the Ministry of Military Affairs was negotiating with the Japanese. It seemed that the mission of the 74th Army was to ensure Thunder's retreat. Even if Zhao Zhi failed to capture Tokyo in the end, as long as
His ability to bring the Emperor of Japan back to China was a heavy blow to the Japanese army, which was enough to destroy the Japanese army's will to fight.
Today's Japanese army is not monolithic. Zhao Zhi's previous Shandong Crosscut Plan and Hebei's Spark Plan were both very successful. The Japanese and puppet troops in Shandong and Hebei are already stretched thin. Therefore, facing the Kwantung Army's strong march south, 74
The army did not think it was so terrible. There was no effective logistical supply line. The faster the Kwantung Army went south, the closer they would be to defeat. Moreover, the 74th Army had already received the news, and the Spark Force, which had been dormant for a while, began to move again.
Compared with the Communist Party of China's wait and see, the Eighth Route Army came more directly. After Zhou Enlai negotiated with the National Government, two divisions of the Eighth Route Army had entered the Shandong theater, and three regiments of troops had also entered the Hebei area, which was very important.
The momentum of struggling behind enemy lines. Actively dispatching troops was a unanimous decision made by the top leaders of the Communist Party of China after discussion. Zhao Zhi, the bold one, has already gone to fight in Japan. The Shandong and Hebei theaters are now in a mixed situation.
No update until when.
"Has Zhao Zhi captured the Emperor of Japan?" Like Chiang Kai-shek in the South Bank Villa, the policeman who first heard the news was also shocked. Li Kenong, standing in front of him, nodded repeatedly and brought the intelligence agent from Xi'an.
I showed the newspaper I got back to **. Although the newspaper was from three days ago, ** still read it carefully.
"The news was published in the newspaper three days ago, and comrades in the office had already reported the news via telegram. At that time, we thought it was a propaganda campaign by the Nationalist Government. It was not until our intelligence officers within the Chongqing Military Command confirmed it,
We just confirmed that the news in the newspaper is true." Li Kenong's good explanation solved the mystery in his heart. It seems that the news is indeed true, and Zhao Zhi has indeed captured the Japanese Emperor alive.
"It's not simple, it's not simple. This Zhao Zhi is very powerful." He put the newspaper in his hand on the table, lit a cigarette habitually, and then paced back and forth in the cave dwelling, Li Kenong could only look at it.
Dizzy. The silence in the cave only lasted for less than a quarter of an hour. A quarter of an hour later, Li Kenong hurriedly left the cave and went to Zhou Enlai's residence. Then the senior officials of Yan'an gathered in the cave again. What they discussed
It turned out to be the newspaper that ** was holding.
"Let's take a look. Our children are doing great things now. Not only did they fight the war in Japan, but they also arrested the emperor." ** smiled and pushed the newspaper at hand to the senior officials present.
There was a hint of joy in their words. Putting aside the conflicts between the Communist Party of China and the National Government, catching the Emperor of Japan was exciting news for the people of the country.
"It seems that we need to prepare early. Once the Japanese surrender, Chiang Kai-shek will definitely turn his guns to deal with us. Most of Shandong, Shanxi, and Henan are in their hands. Once the Kuomintang troops squeeze into northern Shaanxi,
Our living space will become smaller and smaller." After reading the newspaper report, Zhu De was not happy but frowned. The Eighth Route Army's opponents were not only the Japanese army, the Jinsui Army and the Kuomintang had frictions with the Eighth Route Army, and even
The Green Forest Army, which has been operating in Henan, has also had conflicts with the Eighth Route Army. If the Japanese army surrenders, these forces affiliated with the National Government will definitely target the Eighth Route Army.
No one knows what happened in this cave dwelling in Yan'an that afternoon. However, Zhou Enlai left the cave dwelling and went directly to Chongqing. Three days later, the Eighth Route Army headquarters received an order to mobilize two main divisions to enter the Shandong theater to cooperate in combat. In Zhu De's
After careful arrangements, three more regiments of the Eighth Route Army broke into pieces and sneaked into the Hebei area in batches. This time the Eighth Route Army imitated Zhao Zhi and planned to launch a massive guerrilla war behind enemy lines in Hebei, striving to establish a base area at the same time.
, eliminate as many Japanese and puppet forces in Hebei as possible.
Of course, Zhao Zhi would not know that the situation in the country had become such a mess, and he would not know that the source of this mess was the news that Luo Lin published in the newspaper, because Zhao Zhi's attention is now fully focused on
Hiroshima Prefecture. The smooth landing in Tokyo Bay allowed the Americans to see the dawn of victory. When the Philippine battlefield was still in a stalemate, the U.S. Congress finally made a decision that the US military would use troops against the Japanese mainland. Two troops who were supposed to be transferred to the Philippine battlefield
One US military unit was prioritized to be stationed in mainland Japan, one landed in Tokyo Bay, and the other went to Hiroshima Prefecture.
When Zhao Zhi used Halsey's fleet to help with the landing in Tokyo Bay, he just wanted to bring the Americans in. It was completely ineffective to attack the Japanese mainland with only the Thunder family. The wealthy US military did have the qualifications to be taken advantage of.
So Zhao Zhi wanted to recruit them. But when Halsey's good news telegram reached Hiroshima Prefecture, Zhao Zhi was a little wary after receiving the telegram. If the order to mobilize troops came from the U.S. Department of Defense, Zhao Zhi might be higher
He was happy, but this order came from Congress, so Zhao Zhi had to treat it with caution. It seemed that some forces in Congress were beginning to be interested in Japan.
The United States needs a country that can balance Asia after the war. From the perspective of geographical location and the current situation it is facing, Japan is indeed the most suitable. However, the United States does not need a country with an economically regressive industry and ambiguous industries. Zhao Zhi’s plunder plan includes
Almost all of Japan's industrial system and those technicians were destroyed. If Zhao Zhi moved all these things back to Vietnam and Thailand, the Japanese army would probably decline and become a purely agricultural country.
The politicians in the U.S. Congress were determined not to need an agricultural country to balance Asia, so Zhao Zhi's first thought after receiving the telegram was that the incoming U.S. military force was here to monitor them, and the Americans were afraid that they would
Japan has been evacuated. A quick victory. The plan for now is to win a quick victory before a large number of U.S. troops arrive. Only in this way can we force the Japanese Emperor to declare the surrender of the mainland. If Japan surrenders, the U.S. troops who come to help can
Being transferred to the Philippines and the South Asian Islands to continue fighting, Zhao Zhi's plunder plan will naturally not be known to the Americans.
"Tell the Jewish troops who landed in Tokyo Bay to carry out Operation Flame in Tokyo. I will only give them two days. After two days, I will hear Emperor Hirohito personally read the surrender document. There are only two days." Zhao Zhi said.
Operation Flame is to carry out a fire attack on urban Tokyo. Incendiary bombs and flamethrowers will be used as attack methods. Most of the Japanese houses are wooden structures. Such buildings can easily be engulfed by fire. U.S. military reinforcements will arrive in four days.
arrived, so Zhao Zhi planned to make a desperate move to play hard with the Japanese.
