This unprecedented war has been going on for 45 years. According to the historical trend of that time and space, it is not far from the end. However, now, not only Europe is still trapped in disputes and chaos, but also Asia still has no clarity (of course, this will happen in Asia) This situation is completely intentional by Ouyang Yun. If the Chinese National Defense Force and the Cadet Army attack with all their strength, Japan will have no other choice but to declare unconditional surrender), which gives German and Japanese careerists a chance to fantasize. There is only room for Ishihara Wanji's local mobilization and Japan's stubborn resistance to the end.
At this time, the number of Japanese troops gathered in North Korea had exceeded 1.5 million. Regardless of the actual combat strength of these local reinforcements, one thing is certain, it is precisely because of the existence of this force that the top Japanese military officials viewed it as When it comes to counterattacking the Chinese battlefield, and even hoping to change the war situation in China, objectively speaking, Koizumi Minichiro and Ishihara Kanji are not wrong in their calculations. That is, as long as the battlefield is limited to China, even if they are defeated, because Northeast China It will definitely turn into scorched earth, and its reconstruction will inevitably consume a lot of China's national power, which will give Japan a chance to survive after the war. Now that the war is going on, one thing that the Japanese military and political leaders are sure of is that because of Ouyang Yun's existence, China They will definitely not be satisfied with just expelling the Japanese army from China, but will definitely seek to attack the Japanese mainland and even occupy the entire Japan. This is naturally the result they least want to see, so even if there is a chance of escaping this fate, they will They will try their best to fight for it.
After Tojo Hideki came to power, because of Tojo Koji's role, the old Japanese wanted to wait until the training of local reinforcements reached a certain level before entering the Chinese battlefield (Tojo Koji did this in fact in response to Ouyang Yun's intention, the Japanese hope The battlefield was placed in Northeast China, but Ouyang Yun hoped to place the battlefield in North Korea). But now, because of the changes in the Battle of Nong'an, Itagaki Seishiro was prepared to ignore military orders abroad.
"...Because most of Heilongjiang has been occupied by the Chinese army, what we must see is that Jilin has become the only channel linking Liaoning and North Korea. In view of this, Jilin must not allow any loss. I ask you to prepare for war immediately after returning. , we will rush to Changchun as quickly as possible..." Because he was worried about affecting morale, and also worried that there were guys like Imajiro among the people here, Itagaki Seishiro did not say that the 163rd Division might rebel. The truth that Changchun may have been occupied by Chinese troops.
Just after Itagaki finished speaking, the division commanders below immediately spoke one after another. One said: "Your Excellency, what should I do with the army's baggage? We only have enough food for three days and need to be supplied immediately." The other said: "Your Excellency, I We only have half the base of ammunition left..."
...For a while, various questions were piled in front of Itagaki.
Because most of the strong labor force has been filled into the army, Japan's domestic food production has long been unable to make ends meet. Earlier, due to the existence of the Pacific Channel and the Taiwan Strait Channel, Japan could still obtain food supplies from Southeast Asia, but now, with China The Pacific Fleet completed complete control of the Pacific Ocean and the Taiwan Strait, as well as the East China Sea and the South China Sea, and lost food supplies in Southeast Asia. A large-scale food shortage immediately appeared in Japan.
This is also the main reason why Ishihara Wanji's nationwide mobilization was "popular" in the homeland, because at least he could have enough to eat in the army.
Of course, judging from the current situation, having enough to eat in the army is just a beautiful imagination of those strong men. North Korea has not been a food-rich place since ancient times. Now there are nearly two million more mouths. Soon, North Korea’s food supply There was a problem with the reserves, and because of the fear of forcing the Koreans to jump over the wall, the Japanese army did not dare to implement the policy of forced conscription like in China. Therefore, the food problem soon became a major problem that troubled the local reinforcements.
Not only food, but also the supply of weapons, equipment and ammunition was a problem. These problems were not so acute in "peacetime", but now that Itagaki wanted them to fight, this problem was unavoidable.
The old Japanese was quite prepared for this. He pondered for a moment and then said: "Don't worry, as long as we enter Jilin, we can use the Kwantung Army's reserves in Changchun. Food and ammunition will be available by then."
Unexpectedly, it was a good thing that he did not mention the Kwantung Army. But when he mentioned it, the division commanders under the Kwantung Army had new problems. They complained that the officers of the Kwantung Army were difficult to get along with. Some even said: "Those guys from the Kwantung Army They never have to look at us, why should we save them? After they are defeated by the Chinese army, wouldn't it be better for us to defeat the Chinese army again?"
"Asshole, what are you talking about? They are all fighting for His Majesty the Emperor and Japan. There is no difference between you and me. You are all Imperial generals. Don't you have any awareness at all?" the old Japanese scolded sternly.
Itagaki is adopting a high-pressure policy to do ideological work for the division commanders of the Japanese reinforcements. On the other hand, because of the addition of the 163rd Division, Ding Yi's appetite has greatly increased, and he begins to consider annihilating the Japanese army. Matters concerning the main force of the Third Front Army.
Chang Taiyu learned a lesson and divided the troops into three echelons to provide air support for Ding Yi. Moreover, the 13th Independent Brigade and the anti-aircraft guns they brought out of Changchun City became the 342nd Regiment's territory. Lunch means that the Japanese army in Jilin Province has lost even its last bit of air defense capability. This directly declares that the J-105 Division will enter an invincible state.
With the J-105 Division providing air support at all times, Ding Yi felt that it would not be difficult to take down the main force of the Third Front Army. What he was now thinking about was how to ensure that his pockets were tightened to completely cut off the chance of Harem Chun escaping to heaven.
"From now on, we must slow down the pace of our attack to avoid prematurely entering a big melee. Once we enter a big melee, it will not be conducive to the use of our air power. Here is the order. From now on, all departments will fight steadily to capture an area. We must stick to one place and squeeze the Japanese troops here. As for the task of annihilating the enemy, let it be left to the J-105 Division for now." After looking at the map for a long time, Ding Yi ordered, then he contacted Chang Taiyu and asked the other party Informed him of the decision he had just made.
The Chinese army suddenly launched an offensive rhythm. Harem Chun immediately guessed Ding Yi's combat intentions. The old devil had suppressed his negative emotions at this time. He calmly analyzed it for a while, and then came up with countermeasures and divided the army into three parts. , respectively commanded by himself, Ino Masanao and Gui Tianjia, to break out in three directions: west, south and north.
