Liu Yimin's efforts worked. The development of the Zhang Gufeng incident was very different from that in history. It is not known where the Soviet army got the information. Anyway, they had a clear picture of the Japanese and Korean army's defense situation.
The Pacific Fleet of the Soviet Red Navy tightly blocked the mouth of the Tumen River. The Soviet Red Army Air Force dispatched hundreds of aircraft. Not only did they bomb the battlefield, but also the headquarters of the 19th Division, the main force of the Japanese and Korean troops, was bombed, although the commander was not killed.
officer, but the staff, guards and equipment of the headquarters were all bombed to a mess, including the brigade and regiment headquarters of the Japanese 19th Division, and the regiment headquarters were bombed. The entire battle lasted until August 20, until Japan
The war ended only after Su signed the armistice agreement on August 25.
This is enough. At this time, Wuhan's work of transferring combat readiness materials and factories to the rear has reached an advanced stage. One more day will give one more opportunity. The troops' reorganization and training have also achieved phased results, and their combat effectiveness has been restored.
and improvement, which is different from the emergency situation before the Wuhan Battle in history.
The Zhanggufeng incident taught the Japanese army a profound lesson. Before the war began, Emperor Hirohito refused to sign the request for instructions from the Ministry of War. After the main force of the North Korean Army, the 19th Division, captured the Zhanggufeng area, Emperor Hirohito's attitude changed.
He made a 180-degree turn and repeatedly warned his bastard subordinates that they should just stick to the defensive line and never expand the scale of the war. This was tantamount to acquiescing to the actions of the 19th Division. When the Soviet army counterattacked on a large scale and the Japanese army resupplied,
Replenishment of troops could not be guaranteed. When the losses were heavy, Emperor Hirohito panicked and ordered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to immediately negotiate with the Soviet side to stabilize the defense line and stop the conflict. Finally, the two sides signed an armistice agreement, and Emperor Hirohito couldn't wait to convene the meeting.
Imperial meeting.
Although it was a hot summer day, Emperor Hirohito's eyes were as cold as slivers of ice in the twelfth lunar month of winter. He glanced straight at the faces of Prince Kanin Palace Zaihito and Prime Minister Konoe Fumima, frightening the two of them.
He kept kowtowing on the ground, and the sweat and blood marks on his forehead were mixed together, making him look indescribably dirty and ugly.
After a long time, Emperor Hirohito said coldly: "I have said again and again that the important thing is not what we have done, the key is how the world sees us. Now, just a little Zhang Gufeng, let North Korea
It is extremely humiliating to lose one's head and bleed out!"
In Konoe Fumima's view, Emperor Hirohito's wrath is inevitable. The Japanese Empire itself should not fight on two fronts. The most important thing at the moment is to occupy Wuhan and Guangzhou, completely destroy the Chiang Kai-shek government's will to resist, and end the war as soon as possible. Otherwise,
, the heavy burden of war will crush the empire's economy.
Konoe Fumima felt that it was time for him to speak. He raised his head and took a look at Emperor Hirohito's face. He felt that it was still as cold as before, so he said: "It is not impossible for the Korean army to test and attack north. The key is not the time. Now
The war in China did not achieve its expected goals. The Army should focus on capturing Wuhan and destroying the Chinese people's will to resist, rather than causing further trouble. Although the Russians are our natural enemies, now is not the time to settle accounts with them."
This old bastard, Prince Hanwon Gong Zaijin, has a gray beard and has already reached the age when his eyes are filled with tears and he coughs and farts. However, this old bastard’s nephew died in China some time ago, and then the North Korean army attacked Zhanggu.
Feng suffered a defeat and was extremely depressed. When he heard what Konoe Fumima said, the old bastard Prince Kanin Gong Zaijin raised his head and protested: "The Korean army's test attack is not a failure. At best, it is a fight with the Russians."
It’s a tie. How can the Prime Minister say that?”
Konoe Fumima knew in his heart that apart from the emperor, Prince Kanin Miyazaihito was the most powerful person in Japan. As the prime minister, he was just getting money for the emperor and Prince Kanin Miyazaihito to prepare food, grass and arms. But the clay figurine
He also had a bloody nature. Upon hearing that Prince Kanin Gong Zaihito actually refuted him, Konoe Fumima immediately retorted: "Your Highness, I remember that the army vowed to destroy China in three months. Now it has been a year since the war started.
Not only did the army fail to fulfill its original oath, but it sacrificed so many Yamato disciples and put a heavy burden on the empire's economy. In particular, the army generals ignored the overall situation and launched an attack on the Soviet Union at the critical moment when the Wuhan offensive was about to be launched.
It’s purely strategically immature.”
Before Konoe Fumima could finish speaking, Emperor Hirohito interrupted him with a wave of his hand and did not allow him to say any more.
Prince Kanin Gong Zaijin's beard was about to stand up with anger, he pointed at Konoe Fumima, and his lips trembled. However, the emperor's face was as gloomy as a rainy day, and the old bastard did not dare to expose the trouble.
His lips trembled back and forth, but he still forced himself to hold back his words.
Emperor Hirohito glanced at the ministers again coldly, then coughed and said: "During the war, His Excellency the Prime Minister and His Excellency the Chief of General Staff blamed each other. This is not the way to cooperate with civil and military forces!"
When Emperor Hirohito said this, the two old devils Konoe Fumima and Prince Kanin Miyazaihito looked at each other. I don't know if they were mocking each other or hating each other. Anyway, both of them did something to the emperor.
After a review, I showed my loyalty.
After the performance of the two right-hand men was over, Emperor Hirohito's gloomy face turned red, and he said viciously: "The Zhang Gufeng incident is not entirely a bad thing. At least it proves one thing, that is, the Soviets are so aggressive on the surface.
In fact, they are not ready to attack us. If they plan to attack us, the strength of one division of the North Korean army will not be able to stop them. From this point of view, the issue of going north needs to be further observed and studied. Now that it has been initially confirmed
If the Soviet Union’s intentions are determined, we can then launch the Wuhan offensive.”
At this statement, several old devils laughed and shouted loudly. Konoe Fumima was so moved that his nose and saliva flowed down together, and he kept chanting "His Majesty the Emperor!"
Even Shan Shanyuan, who had been pretending to be confused and watching the fun, said: "From a historical perspective, as long as Wuhan is captured, China can be dominated. Through the Wuhan battle, most of the goals of solving incidents in China can be achieved by force. As long as Wuhan is controlled,
That is to say, the Chiang regime can be driven out of the Central Plains and reduced to local power."
Emperor Hirohito raised his spectacles with satisfaction, and there was a hint of coldness in his gentle tone, like a poisonous snake: "I don't want to see millions of imperial lions being controlled by China, and I am determined to concentrate all the empire of Japan."
Strength, immediately launched the Wuhan offensive. The purpose of this battle was to deal a fatal blow to the Chinese government and force China to surrender. In order to achieve this goal, the entire Japanese Empire must make every effort. All army units in China stopped returning to the country, and the country once again
Mobilize and recruit 200,000 troops. In addition to the ten divisions previously organized for the Wuhan battle, the supplementary force reaches 400,000 to ensure that the battle losses of the frontline troops are replenished. The government arranges a budget for the cost of the Wuhan battle, at least no less than 3 billion days.
Yuan to ensure combat needs."
At this time, not only Prince Kanin Gong Zaihito, the Prime Minister of the Land, and the Prime Minister of the Sea shouted long live, but even Konoe Fumima vowed to ensure that no matter how tight the finances were, they would meet the needs of the Greater East Asia Jihad, and immediately stated that they had made arrangements
A budget of 3 billion yen was allocated. In order to support the war, an additional 3.25 billion yen was allocated to ensure the supply of supplies.
With demons dancing wildly and dogs barking at the sun, these war madmen seemed to have seen the victory scene after occupying the great Wuhan. For a moment, they forgot how King Nianyan of Higashijiur Palace and Seishiro Itagaki died, and they all offered their suggestions and advice.
A scene of dancing demons.
Empress Ryoko, who was in the harem, learned about the situation of the imperial meeting from the reports of the female officials. Regardless of the violation of the system, she said that the weather was hot and personally held a pot of herbal tea to comfort Emperor Hirohito. She also asked the female officials to give it to several ministers.
Herbal tea. This time, several demons were more energetic. Like Shanshan Yuan, they looked at the emperor. From time to time, they secretly glanced at Empress Liangzi's white neck and bulging breasts from the corner of their eyes. They swallowed and spoke loudly of their own.
The views and images are very different from the past.
In fact, the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters began to formulate a battle plan to capture Wuhan after capturing Nanjing. Firstly, the Japanese army misjudged the situation and believed that the Nationalist Government would surrender after capturing Nanjing. Secondly, due to the differences between Japan's domestic factions on whether to expand aggression or not,
Larger; after the Eighth Route Army participated in the war, the results were brilliant, forcing the Japanese army to concentrate its forces against the Eighth Route Army and not to worry about capturing Wuhan. After the Battle of Xuzhou, the Japanese army had to carry out large-scale raids on central Hebei, southern Hebei and Shandong in order to stabilize the rear. Now
There is no need to consider these factors. Since the Nationalist Government of Chiang Kai-shek insists on resisting the war and refuses to surrender, the main force of the Eighth Route Army's teaching division has been driven towards Wuhan. The public security in North China is relatively stable for the time being, and Japan is once again in a state of chaos for Tokyuer Palace.
Itagaki Seishiro and other Yusui generals and the Eighth and Tenth Divisions called for revenge. Naturally, Emperor Hirohito took advantage of the situation and decided to attack Wuhan.
Finally, Emperor Hirohito instructed the General Staff Headquarters to mobilize troops according to the proposed combat plan and quickly launch the Wuhan offensive.
After the imperial meeting, the Japanese base camp sent orders one after another to the various departments of the Japanese invaders. The commander of the Central China Dispatch Army, Shunroku Hata, was even more arrogant. The order given to each division made it very clear: "The Wuhan offensive is related to the future and destiny of the Japanese Empire.
, has the effect of resolving the China Incident in one fell swoop. All troops must advance bravely according to the combat plan, completely annihilate the Chinese troops resisting around Wuhan, completely drive Chiang Kai-shek's armed forces out of the Central Plains, and force them to surrender."
At this time, the Chinese High Command has also completed the deployment of the Wuhan Defense Battle. After the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Taiyuan, the Battle of Nanjing, the Battle of Xuzhou, and the long talks with Liu Yimin in Xuzhou, this time, Chiang Kai-shek has realized that he cannot
Repeating the mistakes of the Songhu Battle, there was a change in the guiding ideology, and it was realized that "the key to the victory or defeat of the military in the Anti-Japanese War is not to gain or lose in Wuhan, but to maintain our lasting strength to continue the war of resistance." For this reason, it was decided to defend Wuhan
The strategy of not fighting in Wuhan was determined to break away from the shackles of urban defense, advance defensive operations to the vast battlefield outside Wuhan, use the mountainous areas outside Wuhan to deal with the enemy, and actively defend. At the same time, it partially mobilized the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the masses to "commit to comprehensive
"The base areas for the war and the Anti-Japanese War will be enriched." In this way, the mobility of the defense will be greatly improved.
Chiang Kai-shek made great efforts to defend Wuhan, mobilizing a total of 50 armies, 130 divisions, 200 aircraft, and 40 ships, with a total force of 1.1 million people. They took advantage of the favorable terrain of the Dabie Mountains, Poyang Lake and both sides of the Yangtze River to organize and organize
Defense. The local governments along the route also began to organize people in advance to carry out the task of clearing the country. Various propaganda teams went deep into the people and painted the walls of market towns and villages with the slogan Liu Yimin repeatedly advocated: not allowing the Japanese soldiers to drink a sip of clean water and grab a grain of rice.
superior.
At this time, due to the slight revision of history after Liu Yimin's arrival, the Battle of Nanjing, the Battle of Xuzhou, and especially the Eighth Route Army's series of brilliant achievements were formed that were different from those in history. The morale of the national army was still very high. Especially
During this period of time, the Japanese army was busy entangled with the Eighth Route Army in North China. The main force of the national army gained valuable rest and replenishment time, and its combat effectiveness recovered significantly. For this reason, and it was also clear that behind the Japanese army there was an instructor like Liu Yimin who specialized in eating Japan.
The ghost tiger can launch a thunderous strike at the Japanese army at any time. Chiang Kai-shek is confident in defending Wuhan. Even if Wuhan abandons its defense in the future, according to the situation deduced by Liu Yimin in Xuzhou, Chiang Kai-shek is also confident in wiping out some of the effective forces of the Japanese army and allowing Japan to play a strategic role.
Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek clearly pointed out in a speech on Wuhan Central Radio that "the Chinese people and government have been bullied and oppressed by the Japanese invaders to the extreme" and vowed that "for the survival of the nation, the Chinese army is determined to fight in the Wuhan area with
The Japanese army fought to the death."
As an unparalleled strategist of the Chinese nation, Mao Zedong had already keenly realized that the next focus of the Japanese attack must be Wuhan without Liu Yimin's analysis report. Especially after the success of Operation Instructor Qianniu and the heavy Japanese troop group moving south, Mao Zedong realized that the Japanese army was about to launch an attack.
Therefore, he repeatedly sent reports to the Yangtze River Bureau and the Wuhan Office, pointing out that the key to defending Wuhan is to mobilize the people. At the same time, he sent a telegram to the Eighth Route Army headquarters, requesting all departments of the Eighth Route Army to deploy in advance. Once the Japanese army launched the Wuhan Campaign, our army would
We must launch extensive guerrilla warfare, ambush warfare, and raid warfare against the Japanese army, and resolutely cooperate with the Wuhan Battle.
As for how the instructors should cooperate with the Wuhan Battle, Mao Zedong pointed out in his telegram to the Shandong Bureau and Liu and Luo that once the heavy Japanese army group was caught in a struggle with the main force of the national army, the main force of the instructors should launch a powerful attack on the Japanese army, restore and develop the base areas, and contain
The Japanese army in North China cannot go south for reinforcements. At the same time, additional troops should be sent to northern Jiangsu and central Jiangsu to carry out guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, flank and tail attack the Japanese army, and do all they can to destroy the Japanese army's lines of communication so that they cannot attack Wuhan with all their strength.
