Li Ming walked back and forth in the headquarters with his head down, constantly thinking about the feasibility of this plan. In fact, he was also very interested in this plan, but he was still a little worried, not because of anything else, but because he was afraid that there would be a mistake in the mission, and finally the intention of the Far East would be exposed, which would affect the implementation of the entire plan.

But if this operation is successful, the impact will be great. After all, the Tokugawa shogunate's nearly 100,000 troops gathered in Kyushu, and they also defeated the Satsuma clan one after another. At this time, if some foreign daimyo was destroyed, no matter how they explained it, it would be useless. Because now only they have such strength in Kyushu.

The daimyo of all parts of Japan will inevitably be sad and deepen their wariness of the Tokugawa shogunate. Once the Tokugawa shogunate defeated Kyushu, it was likely to cause a series of unknown changes, and the current peaceful situation in Japan would certainly have an impact, and could even cause large-scale chaos.

Thinking of this, Li Ming stopped and turned around and came to the side of the sand table. Said to Billy Zhou: "If we decide to act, do you think we should choose that target?" ”

Zhou Billy smiled, reached out and picked up two small red flags, which were planted in two places on the sand table. Everyone knows about these two places, namely the northern part of Higo Province and Chikugo Province, which are home to the Kumamoto, Takase, and Uto domains of the Hosokawa family, the Yanagawa and Miike domains of the Tachibana family, and the Kurume domain of the Arima family.

Zhou Billy said with a smile: "I think we should choose these two areas, the advantage is that it is relatively close to the coastline." The Admiralty of the Company could take advantage of the darkness to enter Shimabara Bay and the Ariake Sea from Amakusa Beach and carry out a sneak attack on the coastal domains in these two areas. First of all, in the northern part of Higo Province, the Kumamoto Domain, Takase Domain, and Uto Domain of the Hosokawa family. The feudal castle of Kumamoto Castle and the two jinya of Takase and Uto were only a few kilometers from the coast, making it easy for our troops to approach and infiltrate by sea. Then there were the Yanagawa Domain and Miike Domain of the Tachibana family of Chikugo Province, and the Kurume Domain of the Arima family, and the castles of Yanagawa Castle and Miike Domain, both of which were located along the coast. Along the Chikugo River, the largest river in Kyushu, you can also go directly to Kurume Castle.

We can choose our goals in these places. Moreover, there are a large number of shogunate troops stationed in the vicinity of these two areas, which makes it easy for us to fish in troubled waters. My personal opinion is Kumamoto Castle because it is an important town in Kyushu and one of the three famous castles in Japan. Kumamoto Castle is located in the hilly area of Mt. Chausu, southeast of Kumamoto. Across the Tsubai River, the Shirakawa River and the Iseri River in Higo have become natural strongpoints, and it is one of the few Hirayama castles in the history of Japanese castle construction. If conditions permit, we can also cuddle the grass and beat the rabbits, and bring the two Jinya of the Hosokawa family's Takase and Uto together. If the action is successful, the Hosokawa family will be wiped out by us, and if the news reaches the ears of the daimyo of feudal lords all over Japan, what will they think? ”

After listening to Billy Zhou's words, everyone felt that this plan was very operational. With the ability of the special combat team. Coupled with the fierce death army, coupled with the sophisticated equipment of the Far East, it should be no problem to attack Kumamoto Castle at night.

Suddenly, Song Tao next to him suddenly screamed, "Wait a while...... How do I think Kumamoto and Kurume are so familiar? ”

Hu Guosheng sneered and said: "Kumamoto and Kurume can't think of it, but you can always remember the sixth division and the eighteenth division!" ”

Song Tao slapped the table and scolded, "...... I said why is it so familiar, it turns out to be these two places. Then we're going to destroy both cities. ”

Everyone is very familiar with the 6th Division and the 18th Division of the Japanese army that invaded China. They were all the culprits who participated in the Nanjing Massacre.

The 6th Division, also known as the Kumamoto Division, was one of the 17 standing divisions of the Japanese army before the outbreak of World War II. Together with the Second Division (Sendai Division), it is known as the two strongest and most combat-effective units in the Japanese Army. During the Japanese War of Aggression against China, he participated in the Nanjing Massacre. Whether it was the First Sino-Japanese War or the Russo-Japanese War, the 6th Division was always the vanguard of the Japanese War Department.

On July 28, 1937, Japan issued an order for the 6th Division to invade China. On 1 August, more than 25,000 officers and men of the 6th Division, which had been replenished to the fullest, embarked on the sixth invasion of China amid the hysterical noise of the citizens of Kumamoto City. Along the way, the officers and soldiers of the 6th Division, with the connivance of Gu Shoufu, burned and killed adultery. He did all kinds of evil, killing more than 9,000 civilians in Baoding and Zhengding alone, and turning the rich and beautiful Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou region into a bloody hell on earth.

On December 10, 1937, Gu Shoufu led the 6th Division into Nanjing, and the brutal 6th Division Japanese army was furious, creating the Nanjing Massacre that shocked China and foreign countries in 8 days of occupying Nanjing. The corpses of Chinese soldiers and civilians killed by the division in Xiaguan alone were 2 kilometers long and 50 meters wide, and the Yangtze River was stained red with blood. That's a beastly force.

The 18th Division, also known as the Kurume Division, was not a permanent Japanese veteran division, but it was the vanguard of the sweep of the Malay Peninsula and the capture of Singapore. In the battle of invasion of Burma, he became the main force of the Japanese army's attack in the middle, and pursued the Chinese expeditionary force to the west bank of the Huitong Bridge on the Nujiang River in Yunnan.

The Nanjing Massacre, the Singapore Massacre, and the Manila Massacre are considered to be the three major atrocities committed by the Japanese army in Asia, but the 18th Division participated in both the Nanjing Massacre and the Singapore Massacre. It was the "Victorious Division" with the largest number of invasions by the Japanese army, the widest combat area, and the largest number of crimes. Known as the "Jungle Demon".

After Song Tao finished speaking, he looked at Li Ming, and saw that the other party was holding his hands in front of the sand table and ignored him, Song Tao suddenly became anxious, and just wanted to rush over, he was grabbed by Hu Guosheng next to him, and then shook his head at him.

After a long while, Li Ming suddenly straightened up, turned to Hu Guosheng next to him, and said, "How many Tokugawa shogunate clothes are there here in Tanegashima?" ”

Hu Guosheng thought for a while and said: "In the past two years, the intelligence station of the Ministry of Intelligence in Japan has successively sent back a number of Tokugawa shogunate descendants, as well as the soldiers and horses of the pro-feudal daimyo and the pedigree daimyo daimyo. ”

Li Ming nodded after hearing this, and then said to Hu Guosheng: "Old Hu, you go and send a report to the company's military committee, and inform Lao Gao of the general idea of our plan." Then ask him to send me the deployment of the Admiralty on Jeju Island. ”

Hu Guosheng nodded, then turned around and left. Li Ming also turned around and smiled at the people in the room: "I have decided to agree to carry out this plan." Old Zhou, in the past two days, you and the Tanegashima Garrison Command have worked out a detailed action plan. (To be continued......)
