The so-called storm attack actually means using fifty special attack aircraft to launch a storm attack from a certain distance. So far, Sugi and the Tachibana team have lost a total of nine Min-02s. In other words, when gathered together, they still have sixty fifty aircraft. Special attack aircraft can be used for this operation. It took Suki and Tachibana three days to complete the assembly. Suki and Tachibana spent another two days to find the most suitable sea area to fly fifty special attack aircraft. In order to achieve Due to the sudden nature of the attack, they chose to launch the attack in the early morning, so they delayed it for another day.
While the Sugi and Tachibana teams were gathering, Karachi's cadet army was not idle either. On the one hand, Chen Ce ordered the land-based naval forces to expand the search area. At the same time, Bai Liusu sent all the air defense units of his Marine Corps to air defense. In important areas, dense formations were deployed to defend them to the death.
At the same time, Taiwan, Taipei, the last stronghold of the Japanese army, and nearby areas finally fell under Ye Zhao's forceful attack at all costs. In the offensive and defensive battle that lasted more than three months, the Xuebing Army sacrificed a total of nearly 20,000 soldiers and six fighter planes. As for the Japanese army, the local reinforcements to Taiwan alone amounted to a Class A division and more than 200 fighter planes. These reinforcements, including the more than 20,000 Japanese troops originally guarding Taipei, were not spared, and they were all killed in the end. , So far, Taiwan, the son who has left the embrace of the motherland for nearly half a century, has officially returned to the embrace of the motherland. In view of the fact that as early as the full-scale war between China and Japan, the Japanese regarded Taiwan as their homeland. The recovery of Taiwan is not only a military matter. It was a huge victory, and it was also a huge political victory. When the Zhejiang Army and the Fujian Army crossed the Yangtze River to launch the campaign to regain Jiangsu and Anhui, its impact on the morale of the Chinese people was unparalleled.
On the day when Taiwan was fully restored, the whole country in Japan was shocked. When Shinichiro Koizumi, who was in Singapore, heard about the incident, he immediately called China, hoping that the Yone cabinet could come forward to negotiate with the Chinese government to redeem the overseas Chinese.
In the past, on the day Taiwan was regained, thousands of Japanese expatriates were coerced by their own soldiers to jump into the sea, resulting in a humane tragedy in the history of human civilization. The country was defeated and the expatriates committed suicide and martyred their country. This was reflected in the militaristic thinking of the time. The overpopulation of Japanese seems to be a matter of course, but as a time traveler, Koizumi does not want to reenact this scene. This can be regarded as the only human thing he has done since time travel.
And just as Koizumi was worried, after his telegram was sent back to the country, it disappeared without a trace and failed to attract the attention of domestic military and political leaders. On this matter, Koizumi obviously took it for granted, not to mention whether Mitsumasa Yoneuchi and others cared. So what if they care about the lives and deaths of Japanese expatriates in Taiwan? Although China is currently in power with a coalition government, it is actually a cadet army. Ouyang Yun has the final say. And Ouyang Yun, who doesn't know that he is a hard-core anti-Japanese element, in both countries? Still in a life-or-death situation with the enemy, the Japanese did not even have the courage to make demands to the opponent. Furthermore, the current corrupt war situation also prevented them from allocating their energy.
The Yamato aircraft carrier fleet was defeated, and the good situation Japan had achieved in Australia was lost. After a short rest, the Pacific Fleet divided into two groups, one to guard the Timor Sea, and the other to pursue the retreat route of the Wuwei aircraft carrier fleet and enter the Pacific Fleet. Australia Bay, and used it as a base to provide air support for the US-Australia coalition forces. With the help of the Pacific Fleet, the US-Australia coalition forces launched a series of counterattacks and have now regained the Newcastle defense line.
The glory of the Australian War was no longer good, and the situation on the Chinese battlefield was also not optimistic. Two armies of the Xuebing Army, with more than 100,000 people, crossed the river to attack the Japanese troops in Jiangsu and Anhui. After two tentative battles, Ishihara Kanji discovered that the imperial army was not at all The opponents of the Xuebing Army called China and proposed to abandon the Yangtze River and instead concentrate their forces to defend the Yellow River area. In the telegram to the base camp, Ishihara Kanji summarized the current situation and believed that the reason why the imperial army was not in Sichuan, Jiangsu, and Anhui was The ultimate reason for the enemy's Chinese army is that its forces are too dispersed. "The Imperial Army only has a few people, but look at the territory we occupy. Not to mention that 70/10 of the elite standing divisions of the Imperial Army are newly replenished. The overall combat strength has declined. Even if this situation did not occur, we would not be able to maintain a strict defense line in such a vast space. On the other hand, the China Army, why is the China Army's Xuebing Army able to suppress us repeatedly, with more advanced weapons and equipment than the Imperial Army? is one reason, but I think the most fundamental one is that they can concentrate a certain number of elite troops in a certain area... Taking the initiative to abandon the Chinese area along the south bank of the Yellow River, for the imperial army, it can concentrate elite troops for defense, and for the imperial army, it can concentrate elite troops for defense. As far as the Xuebing Army is concerned, it is like dispersing their troops..."
Ishihara Kanji's objective analysis did not win the approval of the big bosses in the Japanese army base camp. He even earned the reputation of "having the ambition of others to destroy his own prestige". They believed that he was as fearful of the enemy as a tiger, which was not what a theater commander should be. This attitude coincides with the "fall" of Taiwan, and the great cause of co-prosperity in East Asia, the empire, has suffered an unprecedented failure. It is still not possible for the top brass of the Japanese base camp to hold Taiwan's Japanese military responsible for their war preparations. How can they have time to care about the lives and lives of those expatriates?
The Japanese government ignores the life and death of Japanese expatriates in Taiwan, but God has mercy on them. At this time, the Japanese Anti-War Alliance, which has always been stigmatized as traitors and "Japanese traitors", has proved the value of their existence with practical actions, and the military has entered Chongqing. The Guangzhou branch of the Japanese Anti-War League has also grown. For example, the branch director Takahashi Ryoko was able to serve as the deputy director of the headquarters. It was through her mediation that Ye Zhao's Taiwan Corps did not sit back and watch as the US military did in the past. At the most critical moment, the Taiwan Special Forces Brigade was sent to intervene in the handling of the Japanese expatriates, thus avoiding this tragedy. After this incident, the coalition government also took advantage of the situation to launch a round of propaganda against the Japanese mainland. offensive, use this incident to illustrate the Japanese army's disregard for human life and the benevolence of the Chinese army, pointing out that this is the fundamental difference between a civilized democratic country and a rogue country,
The sight returned to Karachi. At about 3:30 in the morning, the sky was still indigo. Sugi and Tachibana's squadron counter-flyed the 50 special attack aircraft they carried on the sea about 500 kilometers away from Karachi, and began a violent attack. raid,
The sea area chosen by Sugi and Tachibana for the release of the Fifty Special Attack Planes is only about 200 kilometers away from Mumbai, India. On the one hand, they chose this area because they hoped to use the guidance of the coast to facilitate the attacking troops to find Karachi. There will be no mistakes, and considering that the coast has a certain concealment effect on fighter planes, it can achieve the surprise of the attack.
