After the defeat of the navy, the Japanese had a premonition that China would definitely land in Japan, and Kyushu Island, which is closest to the Korean Peninsula, became the first choice for landing. Therefore, the Japanese strengthened the defense here early and arranged more than 600,000 troops.
The army defended it, and was backed by more than one million militiamen.
The Japanese commander responsible for the defense of Kyushu Island was Hisao Tani. In the original time and space, Hisao Tani was a serious perpetrator of the Nanjing Massacre. He burned, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. His cruelty even made the Japanese themselves feel uneasy.
In this time and space, Hisao Tani had no chance to wreak havoc in China, but he still left a vicious reputation when he attacked Nanyang. Especially when he landed on the island of New Guinea, he massacred the indigenous people and tortured the prisoners. He was like a bloodthirsty man.
Like a ferocious beast, he needs blood every day to satisfy his animal nature.
Not long ago, Japan was defeated from various islands. Hisao Tani escaped back to Japan on a submarine. Many Japanese senior officials despised his behavior and believed that without jade, he was not a true Japanese warrior. This is indeed the case. Hisao Tani can bring great benefits to others.
Death, but he is extremely afraid of death and does not have the courage to die together.
However, Japan is seriously short of military generals and has heavy domestic combat tasks, so it has to use the ferocious Hisao Tani again. It is hoped that he can show his true nature as a mad dog and bite off a piece of meat from the allies. Hisao Tani also cherishes this opportunity.
It was a rare opportunity, and I worked hard after arriving on Kyushu Island.
He made careful preparations and built a coastal defense system on the side facing the Korean Peninsula, with Kitakyushu as the key defense area. Of course, he also knew that it would be irrational for Japan to fight China and the United States on the beach when it lost control of the sea and air.
, so he took the initiative to withdraw the battle line and placed his elite troops in deep areas.
In addition, Hisao Tani recruited a large number of jade soldiers from the public. The mission of these people is very simple, which is to cause the Allies to suffer unbearable losses through suicide attacks. They must not only cooperate with the Japanese army to defend their positions, but also dress up as
Ordinary people spread out to attack any enemy who invaded Japanese territory.
In addition to these preparations, Hisao Tani organized a large number of manpower to build a large number of underground fortifications in the core area of Kyushu Island, preparing to use a large number of tunnel fortifications to defend. The order given to him by Emperor Hirohito was to hold back the Allies.
At the same time, we gain time for our state's defense.
Hisao Tani racked his brains to strengthen his defense capabilities. But the Allies arrived faster than he thought. On October 3, China and the United States dispatched more than 3,000 bombers to carry out crazy bombing raids on the northern part of Japan's Kyushu Island and the southern part of Honshu Island.
The main targets of bombing are airports, highways, docks, train stations and other transportation hubs. The goal is to destroy Japan's transportation capabilities.
The obvious signal was that the Allies were about to launch a campaign to land in Japan. Sure enough, during the massive bombing, the Chinese and American troops jointly landed on Tsushima Island, which was almost razed to the ground. After taking a short rest on Tsushima Island.
An overwhelming number of ships were heading towards Kyushu Island.
The terrain of Japan and the Korean Peninsula determines that there are not many options for landing operations. Therefore, Japan also guessed the direction of the Allied landings and sent a large number of forces to resist. In particular, it sent a large number of combat aircraft, the number of which exceeded
Seven hundred aircraft were flown in an attempt to use air power to thwart the Allied landing operations.
But more than 500 of these 700 aircraft are kamikaze aircraft. These aircraft are no longer the same as the original Zero fighters. Except for the necessary metal parts, everything else on the body is made of wood.
Already.
Japan itself has no bauxite, so it can only rely on seizing it from the colonies. Now that all the colonies have been lost, the local reserves have been exhausted, and with frequent bombings, the Japanese can only use plywood to make the fuselage and the wings also use wood. In addition, the Japanese have no bauxite ore.
Even the landing gear of a suicide plane of this nature is disposable. Once it takes off, you can never come back.
Originally, the Zero aircraft was known as an aerial lighter, but it became even more so after using wooden materials. It lit up instantly. There was basically no chance of it happening.
In fact, this is also a choice made by Japan in desperation. The war potential of the island country is really very limited. They have to use this extreme method. The plane can still be pieced together, but the pilot is not so easy. Japan has suffered a total loss overseas.
Two million people were killed, and it can be said that an entire generation of young people was wiped out.
Teenagers and old men in their forties and fifties were all recruited to the front lines. These pilots were also full-fledged boy scouts, generally fourteen or fifteen years old.
How could these little rookies shoulder the mission of protecting the airspace? A large number of them were shot down. A total of more than 700 aircraft destroyed less than 20 landing craft, and also damaged a light cruiser. The rest was nothing.
.
In order to successfully land, China and the United States also used a large number of airborne troops. Before the official landing operation, these airborne troops had been delivered to the rear of the Japanese army. On the battlefield, the airborne troops definitely had the highest casualty rate. Airborne troops
Soldiers are born to be surrounded.
China and the United States used a total of more than 7,000 airborne troops. During the parachute jump alone, more than 500 people were discovered by the Japanese because they deviated from their positions and lost their lives. Hundreds more were injured.
Although the casualties were heavy, the surprise attack by the paratroopers was also successful. They quickly entered a fighting state, dispersed, harassed the rear of the Japanese army, and destroyed transportation lines.
Their appearance attracted the attention of the Japanese army, and Hisao Tani had to send a large number of forces to deal with them. He was unable to send more troops to assist the tidal flat positions.
At this time, under the cover of sea and air fire, the Chinese landing craft braved a hail of bullets and quickly rushed to the beach. When the first landing craft was successfully in place, the soldiers passed through waist-deep water and successfully landed on the Japanese mainland. Subsequently, a large number of
The tanks and armored vehicles were also sent to the shore.
The Japanese firepower points deployed on the shore were spitting out flames desperately to block the advance of the Chinese army. These nasty nails soon received the focus of the navy. Battleships and cruisers aimed their huge main guns at the tidal flats, and a single shell could destroy them.
An area of hundreds of meters was turned into ruins, and Japan's firepower was greatly suppressed, resulting in heavy losses.
Even if they were lucky enough to escape the bombardment of artillery fire, the landing force was able to knock them out calmly. After two hours of hard work, the landing force finally established a solid beachhead position, and the first stage of the landing was successful.
Both China and the United States have conducted a large number of landing operations in the Pacific region and have rich experience. It is clear that as long as they can gain a firm foothold, there is hope for victory.
Subsequently, a steady stream of troops landed on Japanese soil, and heavy equipment was also transported. Among the troops responsible for attack missions, China accounted for about 70%, and they were all the most elite forces. Landing on Japanese soil was a critical moment for all Chinese soldiers.
For me, this is a supreme honor.
However, the deeper you go, the more intense Japan's resistance becomes. A large number of Japanese soldiers are like rats, jumping out from every corner and constantly attacking the Chinese army. These Japanese are not afraid of death and do not risk their own lives at all.
Take it seriously.
Among them were silver-haired old men, children of twelve or thirteen years old, and even some young women. They launched attacks frantically and with great ferocity. Although China was well-equipped and had a strong firepower advantage, it could easily break them into pieces.
, but these people have greatly affected the speed of the Chinese army's advance.
The battle lines are becoming more and more stalemate, and every step forward has to pay a heavy price. Liu Xiang, who is commanding this battle, also has a headache. If it is to protect his family and country, he should pay any amount of sacrifices, but now it has begun.
If we make too many sacrifices when we land in Japan, it will not be worth it.
Therefore, Liu Xiang decided to use other armies to clear the way after establishing a solid beachhead, the most important of which was the Japanese Free Army commanded by Masaru Mizumura.
Mizumura was an important leader of the rice riots in Japan, and later received strong support from Qiao Yu. He also used his influence among Japanese civilians to serve the Chinese intelligence agency. After the outbreak of World War II, China and the United States captured numerous prisoners.
Few Japanese soldiers.
During the Korean War, more than 200,000 Japanese soldiers became prisoners of war, and there were millions of Japanese expatriates. These people became the most important source of soldiers. Qiao Yu handed these people over to Mizumura Masa and asked him to
He selected suitable soldiers and then inculcated in them the evils of the Japanese government.
In particular, Mizumura was showing them the tragic experiences of ordinary Japanese people during the war. Tagawa Haruko, a special host of Voice of China, also joined in. After a long period of brainwashing, these Japanese people have completely turned into the best tools.
.
Qiao Yu then gave these soldiers the designation of the Japanese Free Army, and they were commanded by Masamune Mizumura. They became the cannon fodder for China's next attack. The first batch of the Japanese Free Army was sent to Kyushu Island. At first, the Chinese were still hostile to these Japanese troops.
Some people are wary. After all, they are all Japanese. There is no guarantee that they will not have other ideas. After all, who can kill their own compatriots?
However, they soon discovered that these Japanese Free Army soldiers were more ruthless than the Chinese. They had no compatriots and no sympathy in their eyes. They would even torture and kill the Japanese who fought, showing no courtesy at all.
Both sides are Japanese, both are equally crazy, and treat themselves and the enemy alike. This scene made the commanders of both China and the United States feel incredible, but the senior leaders of China and the United States felt a little afraid of this situation. The Japanese
They are just a bunch of beasts, and only beasts can have such a cruel side.
Once such Japan masters powerful force, it will definitely be a threat to the entire world. It is best to let them die together on the battlefield. Driven by the Chinese army, the Japanese Free Army quickly advanced forward. In the first three days of the war,
, the Allied forces successfully advanced for more than 30 kilometers and built a stable landing site. At the same time, the army's forwards had already invaded Kitakyushu. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to recommend it to Qidian ()
