Ruan Shan, designated by Liu Yimin as Minister of Defense and Commander of the Armed Forces of South Vietnam, is the Vietnamese cadre Hong Hong in our army. This person graduated from Huangpu Military Academy and participated in the Long March. Historically, he was awarded the rank of major general after the founding of the People's Republic of China. He later returned to
He worked in Vietnam and later returned to work in China. He was a double major general awarded by both China and Vietnam.
Ruan Shan belongs to the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Field Army and has been ordered to Saigon.
Liu Yimin originally wanted Ruan Shan to serve as the commander of the armed forces of the Annan Kingdom, but in the end he let him stay in South Vietnam. Liu Yimin was relieved that Ruan Shan, who had gone through many tests, would lead the armed forces of South Vietnam.
The problem in Vietnam is only being dealt with temporarily. Liu Yimin knows in his heart that trouble is still to come. The French are not willing to be deprived of their colonies like this. When World War II is over and France regains its strength, it will inevitably invade Vietnam again. Moreover, the Annan Kingdom cannot last long.
Nguyen Phuc Ho is too weak, and his ministers also have ulterior motives. Sooner or later, Vietnam will have to fight a civil war. Only through war will Vietnam grow. But no matter how hard they fight, Liu Yimin is sure that none of them will dare to fight against Cam Lan.
The idea of establishing the Gulf of Mexico and the Cochin Special Administrative Region will avoid the historical tragedy of the Le Duan group’s crazy anti-China after the death of Ho Chi Minh, and also avoid Vietnam’s continuous encroachment on the Nansha Islands. It is very likely that after the international political situation stabilizes, it will indeed
A situation emerged where South Vietnam and Annan, led by the Viet Cong, were living in peace and harmony.
Liu Yimin began to concentrate on directing the campaign to attack the Japanese mainland.
At the Saigon Conference, Liu Yimin was determined to be the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces to capture Japan. Therefore, after the Saigon Conference, General Nimitz, General MacArthur, General Stilwell, including General Carr, commander of the US Army's East Asia Strategic Bombing Command in Dalian, all rushed to
When I arrived in Saigon, I came to study with Liu Yimin how to quickly eliminate the Japanese southern army and force Japan to declare its surrender.
With the issuance of the "Saigon Declaration" and the "Saigon Proclamation", the Soviet government declared that the "Japan-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Neutrality" was invalid, and the Soviet Union declared war on Japan. The determination of the Allies to force Japan to surrender has been fully revealed, and the final blow to force Japan to surrender has been revealed.
It was implemented in Liu Yimin.
Different from General MacArthur's battle plan of all-out annihilation of the Japanese Southern Army, Liu Yimin's plan was to concentrate the U.S. East Asia Strategic Bombing Command, Chennault's Fourteenth Air Force, our Air Force, and naval aviation from all fleets in the Pacific Theater to bomb Japan with all their strength.
.To completely paralyze Japan, forcing Japan to surrender without being able to sustain the war.
The advantage of this is to reduce casualties. However, MacArthur fled to Australia by boat from the Philippines in embarrassment. He was bent on revenge and insisted on conquering the Philippine Islands first. This made Liu Yimin impatient and criticized MacArthur wildly. They said he was simple-minded and had no idea.
Strategic thinking is only suitable for being the commander of the 1st Marine Division of the US Army, not the commander of the South Pacific Theater.
After MacArthur obeyed, Liu Yimin let MacArthur continue to attack the Philippine Islands, and ordered the Pacific Fleet task force and our naval fleet to sail to the coast of Japan. In cooperation with the East Asia Strategic Bombing Command, Chennault's Fourteenth Air Force, our Air Force
, carried out a larger-scale concentrated bombing of Japan.
Before the large-scale bombing, Liu Yimin made a speech in Saigon urging Japan to surrender. He said that in order to implement the Saigon Declaration and the spirit of the Saigon Proclamation, he would command the Chinese and American Allied Forces to carry out large-scale bombing and strikes on the Japanese mainland. He would also lead the Northeast Field Army to land on the Japanese mainland.
The battle requires Japan to surrender unconditionally within 15 days. If it refuses to surrender, Japan will be completely destroyed after our army lands.
On September 20, Liu Yimin completed his deployment and ordered an unprecedented bombing campaign against Japan.
Heavy bombers and long-range strategic bombers took off from Qingdao, Dalian, Lushun, Vladivostok, Sakhalin Island in China and Pyongyang, Seoul, Busan in North Korea, as well as the US military task force and our aircraft carrier formation, flying as densely as a flock of birds.
Toward Japan.
Aerial bombs and napalm bombs exploded over Japanese cities, and the Japanese archipelago groaned.
On September 25, our special operations formation successfully parachuted into the Ryukyu Islands and assisted the main force of the First Corps to land at Naha Port in the Ryukyu Islands.
The Ryukyu Islands are located between Taiwan and Kyushu in Japan. The territory extends from Kikaijima and Amami Oshima in the north to Miyako and Yaeyama Islands in the south. It was historically known as the Three Provinces and Thirty-six Islands. This geographical location determines that the Ryukyu Kingdom can compete with Fujian and Taiwan.
, Korea, Southeast Asia and Japan are engaged in trade, commerce is highly developed and relatively wealthy.
The Ryukyu Kingdom has always been a vassal state of China in the past. The kings of the First Sho Dynasty and the Second Sho Dynasty must be canonized by the Chinese central government. When the king dies, he must report his funeral to the Chinese fatherland.
Due to the wealth of the Ryukyu Kingdom, Japan coveted it. As early as 1609, during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Shimazu Iehisa, the lord of the Satsuma Domain, received support from the Japanese shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu and invaded Ryukyu. King Shoning of the Ryukyu Kingdom was forced to
Surrendered. Later, the Ryukyu Kingdom gradually fell under Japanese control. Later, Japan simply incorporated the Ryukyu Islands into the territory of Kagoshima Prefecture and openly occupied them.
As soon as our troops landed on the Ryukyu Islands, they were welcomed by the indigenous people on the islands. Liu Yimin immediately announced the establishment of the Ryukyu Province of the Republic of China in the Ryukyu Islands, and announced Shangyu, the grandson of Shangdian, the eldest son of the last Ryukyu King Shangtai, as the new governor of the Ryukyu Province of the Republic of China.
At Shuri Castle in the Ryukyu Islands, Liu Yimin presided over Sangyu's swearing-in ceremony.
Under the blue sky and white sun, Shangyu solemnly swears to be forever loyal to the motherland!
In Shuri Castle, Liu Yimin once again delivered a speech, urging Japan to surrender. He said that there were still nine days left before the final surrender date. If Japan still did not declare unconditional surrender, it would capture the Japanese archipelago, put Emperor Hirohito and Empress Ryoko to trial in public, and bring the four Japanese powers to justice.
The island was handed over to the jurisdiction of China, the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union respectively, and Japan would be completely destroyed.
On this day, Yamamoto Isoroku personally commanded the "Gale" aircraft carrier formation to attack the US military task force and our aircraft carrier formation, and was destroyed by Chinese and American aircraft carriers. General Yamamoto Isoroku was shot to death on the Gale.
On the podium.
On this day, Onishi Takijiro of the Japanese Navy organized a kamikaze force and launched a suicide attack on the Chinese and American naval aircraft carrier fleets.
Japanese planes filled with explosives crashed into the Chinese and American naval fleets like moths flying into flames. The fleet's anti-aircraft artillery fired fiercely, and carrier-based destroyers took off to intercept. The sounds of gunfire and explosions of explosives came one after another.
This kind of suicide attack indeed caused a lot of losses to the Chinese and American naval fleets. The biggest loss was that the deck of the newly commissioned USS Princeton aircraft carrier was hit, causing an explosion in the ammunition depot, and it was sunk.
The furious Liu Yimin immediately ordered all shore-based bombers and carrier-based bombers to take off to carry out complete revenge on Japan.
Ever since Emperor Hirohito saw the "Saigon Declaration" and "Saigon Proclamation", he knew that he had to surrender. Now he has no capital. The Kwantung Army has been destroyed, the Korean Army has been destroyed, and the Chinese Dispatch Army has been destroyed. What about the Southern Army?
It is simply impossible to stop the attack by the Chinese, American and British coalition forces with military strength. If we do not surrender, it is very likely that the country will really perish.
The saddest thing is that due to the rapid demise of the Kwantung Army and the Chinese Expeditionary Force, the Japanese army has no seeds to continue to expand its troops. Although the newly established Homeland Defense Force is divided into several military regions, it has no backbone troops and has become a recruit training team.
Japan does not even have the strength to deploy a peripheral defense circle on its territory. It is simply unable to prevent the landing of the army led by Liu Yimin.
Liu Yimin's conversation was like a lifeline, which made Emperor Hirohito breathless. Especially since our army could land on the Japanese mainland at any time after capturing the Ryukyu Islands, Emperor Hirohito was so frightened that he peed his pants.
Emperor Hirohito knew very well that once our troops land on the Japanese mainland, follow-up troops will come in a steady stream. Not only the Chinese army and the US military, but also the British and Soviet troops will try their best to land in Japan. In the end, Japan must be defeated
The four islands were divided among themselves.
Emperor Hirohito, who no longer had any fierce flames, discussed with his confidant Koichi Kido for a long time and decided to surrender.
On October 4, 1942, two days before the final surrender time set by Liu Yimin on the 15th, Emperor Hirohito held an imperial meeting in the basement of the palace. Emperor Hirohito told his decision to surrender in an extremely desolate tone.
Cabinet member, and ordered Prime Minister Koiso Kuniaki to be responsible for drafting the surrender edict. Ordered Foreign Minister Aoi Shigemitsu to send a note to the ambassadors of neutral countries Switzerland and Sweden on behalf of the Japanese government to convey the news of Japan's decision to surrender to the two governments, and to send the telegram through them.
to the governments of China, the Soviet Union, the United States, and Britain.
Emperor Hirohito decided to surrender. Kuniaki Koiso, Moto Sugigi and others who attended the imperial meeting were still arguing endlessly. Some supported surrender and some firmly opposed it. As a result, when Shigemitsu Aoi sent a note to the neutral country Switzerland and the Swedish ambassador to Japan,
Tokyo, which was almost in ruins, was filled with news, but none of them said that Japan had surrendered. The young Japanese officers from the Japanese Army Ministry, Navy Ministry, General Staff Headquarters, and Military Command Department who had been deeply poisoned by fascism flocked to the Imperial Palace and knelt down.
They couldn't afford it, shouting the slogan of a decisive battle, and begging Emperor Hirohito to take back the order. What these officers did not expect was that no one among the bellicose Tokyo citizens followed them to boo. Instead, they hid far away and spoke indifferently.
Look at them with eyes.
Aoi Shigemitsu had no choice but to go directly to the radio to give a speech announcing Japan's decision to surrender.
Liu Yimin heard Aoi Shigemitsu's broadcast on the Ryukyu Islands, but did not order a halt to the bombing campaign against Japan. Because the Japanese Emperor had not yet publicly announced his acceptance of the conditions of the Saigon Proclamation and unconditional surrender, a broadcast by Foreign Minister Aoi Shigemitsu alone could not solve the problem.
.
Early the next morning, our carrier-based bomber group once again flew over Tokyo. The pilots saw a group of Japanese military officers who had been kneeling on the ruins of the Imperial Palace all night. They immediately lowered their altitude and fired fiercely with their airborne machine guns, killing this group of fascists.
The militants were beaten to a bloody pulp.
Emperor Hirohito could no longer sit still and immediately called Prime Minister Koiso Kuniaki to ask if the surrender edict had been drafted.
Koiso Kuniaki was Emperor Hirohito's loyal dog. Emperor Hirohito asked him to draft a surrender edict, and he naturally had to implement it. However, he figured out the emperor's intention and did not want to say surrender. Therefore, he and the Minister of Internal Affairs, Kido Koichiro and others
The people discussed and changed the word "surrender" to "end of war", and the surrender edict became an edict of "end of war".
Emperor Hirohito understood the thoughts of Koiso Kuniaki and others, so he picked up the imperial pen and read and corrected it. After correcting it, he went directly to the office to record, preparing for the Tamayin broadcast on October 6.
This time, unlike in history, there was no incident involving Army officers planning the incident. Except for a handful of fanatics, the vast majority of the Japanese already knew that Japan was defeated and were frightened by the large-scale bombing. No.
The Japanese, who had defeated the one-million-strong Kwantung Army, the one-million-strong Southern Army, and the one-million-strong China Expeditionary Force, all knew that they had become meat on the chopping block and had no choice but to surrender.
At 12 o'clock on October 6, 1942, Japanese radio stations broadcast Emperor Hirohito's end-of-war edict. Japan publicly announced that it accepted the conditions of the "Saigon Proclamation" and surrendered unconditionally.
After Liu Yimin listened to the radio, he found that Emperor Hirohito was still playing tricks and using the end of the war instead of surrender. That meant that he decided to end the war. Is this okay?
Liu Yimin immediately called Huang Wei and asked him to record his conversation and publish it immediately.
Liu Yimin's talk this time was about Emperor Hirohito's end-of-war edict, pointing out that Japan had been completely defeated. It was not Emperor Hirohito who wanted to end the war, but to surrender to the allies. The name of the edict must be the surrender edict. This is the first and second point.
, Liu Yimin pointed out that Emperor Hirohito's end-of-war edict did not deeply repent of his guilt in launching the war of aggression. Instead, he tried his best to excuse and beautify himself, and implicitly meant to continue to retain imperial power. This is inconsistent with the spirit of the "Saigon Proclamation."
Third, Liu Yimin pointed out that Emperor Hirohito must reissue the surrender edict. Otherwise, our army will immediately log in, capture Emperor Hirohito, and impose a public trial.
Liu Yimin also said in the conversation that the Chinese and American fleets have been ordered to carry large forces to launch combat operations in Japan. If Emperor Hirohito cannot re-issue the surrender edict within the next 12 hours, the Chinese and American allies will completely destroy Japan.
In fact, at this time, the four countries of China, the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union had already begun to celebrate. As soon as Liu Yimin's speech was published, everyone realized that Liu Yimin was right. The difference between the two words surrender and the end of the war has completely different meanings. After going back and forth,
Get a Japanese and automatically stop the war!
President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, including Stalin all spoke immediately after receiving Liu Yimin's message, ordering Emperor Hirohito to rewrite the surrender edict and reissue it.
Emperor Hirohito had no choice but to lead Koiso Kuniaki, Kido Koichiro and others to revise the surrender edict, re-record it, and re-broadcast it on the radio, begging for surrender.
Liu Yimin then ordered the entire army to fire cannons to celebrate the victory, and ordered the fleet to head straight to Tokyo Bay, where a Japanese surrender signing ceremony was held. The four governments of China, the United States, the Soviet Union and Britain were invited to send personnel to attend and accept Japan's surrender.
The mighty and huge fleet headed towards Tokyo Bay. Liu Yimin stood solemnly on the command platform of the aircraft carrier Huanghai, with Yuan Guoping, Gao Yuan, Li Chang, Hu Laohu and others standing beside him, heading towards Tokyo Bay!
