The mainland of Japan is composed of four large islands: Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu. At this time, the island of Japan does not know the news that its navy's joint first fleet has been completely wiped out by the Far East Navy. However, at this time, Japan
The island army headquarters has long been a
The regiment was in chaos because an hour ago, the Yokosuka seaport was captured by the Far East Army. At this time, 80% of the senior officers of the Third Home Guard Army were either unable to be contacted or were confirmed to have been assassinated. The advance regiment of the expedition to the Qing Dynasty was also
Received news that three troopships had been sunk.
In addition, telegrams were sent from various places, saying that there was news of the landing of the Far East Army. Looking at the piles of latest reports on the table, the head of the Army Headquarters, Zuo Yutaro, was also very anxious at this time.
Through the Meiji Restoration, the island of Japan adopted a plan to leave Asia and join Europe, and began to embark on the path of capitalism. Its national power also began to become stronger and stronger, and it had already undergone two industrial revolutions. In 1886, Japan's industrial revolution reached its climax, so it was in urgent need of exporting goods to the outside world.

However, as an island country, Japan itself is lacking in domestic resources and has a small market. In addition, the residual feudal forces in the country are strong and various contradictions are acute during the social transformation period. Therefore, the Japanese ruling group headed by the emperor is eager to seek benefits from external expansion.
way out.
For this reason, in 1887, the Japanese island government formulated the so-called Qing conquest strategy, which gradually evolved into a mainland policy centered on invading the Qing Dynasty. The first step was to capture Taiwan, the second step was to annex North Korea, and the third step was to march into Manchuria.
Mongolia, the fourth step was to destroy the Qing Dynasty, and the fifth step was to conquer Asia, dominate the world, and realize the so-called Eight Kingdoms and One Universe, and the Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1895 was an important link in the first two steps of Japan's realization of its mainland policy.
At this time, in Europe and the United States, the world's major capitalist countries were gradually transitioning to imperialism. Japan's aggressive behavior was supported by Western powers to a certain extent. The United States hoped that Japan would become its assistant in the invasion of the Qing Dynasty and North Korea. The United Kingdom attempted to use Japan to contain Russia's expansion in the Far East.
The forces of Germany and France
In order to seize the opportunity of Japan's invasion of China to gain new interests and support Japan's invasion of the Qing Dynasty, although Russia had great ambitions for the Qing Dynasty's Northeast and Korea, it was not ready yet. Therefore, it adopted a non-interference policy towards Japan, and the great powers acquiesced.
Or a conniving attitude became a favorable condition for Japan to implement its aggressive plan.
At this time, the Japanese mainland had approximately 350,000 garrison troops, 250,000 field troops, and 600,000 reserves. However, North Korea's Far Eastern Army could only dispatch the 101, 102, 103, 104th Division, 105th Division, and 106th Division of the Fourth Field Army, 60,000
There are 10,000 men, two artillery regiments and one cavalry division. The first, second and third special warfare brigades only have 6,000 men, for a total of 73,000 men.
In addition, the Far East Dark Night Intelligence Group, which had been lurking in Japan for a long time, was renamed the Far East Special Staff and was responsible for lurking to obtain intelligence and carry out beheading and assassination missions.
First of all, this is a battle on the enemy's territory. Logistics support and medical support are big problems, not to mention the disparity in military strength. Just when the Navy's Second Fleet and Fourth Fleet were fighting against the Japanese Combined Fleet, the Fourth Field Army was already in
With the cooperation of the intelligence team, the Japanese army captured the seaport of Yokosuka. Various army units had landed at Yokosuka, and the purpose of the special forces group was to go to Yokosuka.
Tokyo., Li Ningyu was planning before the Sino-Japanese War started, but he knew that even if the Far East could defeat the Japanese fleet once, they would still develop later, and the Far East would fight a second time, so he had to fundamentally solve the problem.
, never give the Japanese a chance to stand up, so it is very important to grasp the time. I hope that the Fourth Far East Field Army can successfully complete the mission this time.
Yokosuka is the maritime gateway to Tokyo and was once the site of the largest U.S. naval base in Asia. Li Ningyu knew the importance of Yokosuka, so he seized and landed at a time when the Japanese army had no ability to fight back. At the same time, the Japanese First Division defended Yokosuka.
At the regiment headquarters, a paper military map was hung on the wall. Commander Major General Yamahyojiro and several staff members gathered around the map. Commander
Sanhyo Jiro was pointing at the map with his command knife and said: "Everyone, our department has been ordered to guard the safety of Kyoto. The latest news has been sent from the Army Headquarters. An hour ago, the Chinese army captured Yokosuka and headed straight for Kyoto. We don't know yet.
No matter how many troops the enemy has, I only know that before reinforcements arrive, we must protect Kyoto. Long live Japan! Long live the Emperor!"
Li Donghua, commander of the Fourth Far East Field Army's temporary headquarters and commander of the Fourth Far East Field Army, said to the senior commanders of the Fourth Army on the side: "This time, our Fourth Far East Army is responsible for the main attack on Tokyo's last line of defense. This is
It is an honor, so we can only win but not lose! In front of us at this time is the Japanese First Division guarding here, about 15,000 people. Although there are not many enemies guarding, there will be a large number of them in a short period of time.
reinforcements, so I ordered!”.
"Order!"
The 105th and 106th Field Divisions of the Fourth Army have established positions in Shiga and Fukui to defend the reinforcements coming from the north. They must hold on for 24 hours.
"Order!"
The 302nd Field Artillery Regiment of the Fourth Army established a position in the depot to defend the reinforcements coming from the south. They must hold on for 24 hours.
"Order!"
The 104th Field Division of the Fourth Army, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Special Operations Brigades, followed me to attack the Japanese garrison 1st Division.
"Order!"
Deputy Army Commander Liu Jun is the commander-in-chief of the northern part, and Chief of Staff Niu Dejun is the commander-in-chief of the southern part.
"Execute the order!" Li Donghua shouted loudly.
"Yes!" The officers of the Fourth Far East Army in the headquarters nodded resolutely, but then said to themselves with contempt on their faces: "The little Japanese pirates, with a mere body of 10,000, want to resist the steel artillery shells of our Far East Army. It is simply impossible.
It’s just wishful thinking!”.
"As long as we kill the first Japanese garrison division, we can march straight in and fight all the way to Tokyo! Capture Tokyo and capture the Japanese Emperor alive!" Army Commander Li Donghua also said to himself.
Li Donghua used to help Li Ningyu manage plantations in various places, but later he also wanted to become a general like his younger brother, so he entered the North Korean Army Officer School. After several years of study, Li Donghua achieved excellent results, and then
He was incorporated into the special operations brigade, and then he grew into a senior officer during many missions. Although Li Ningyu's promotion was involved, it was also inseparable from his own efforts, otherwise Li Ningyu would not have promoted him.
This time, leave such an important matter to him.
Then a local battle began on the Japanese mainland. At this time, the international community already knew the news that the Qing Dynasty's Beiyang Fleet was destroyed by the Japanese Navy's combined fleet, and at the same time, the Far East landed in Japan.
