Chapter 1253: Suffering on the Main Island
"Do you think that launching an attack on Trojan Horse County and the Eighth Road is the same as before, and you will fight as soon as you say it?"
Toneoka Kanji snorted: "The government troops we faced in the past, no matter how many troops they have and how good the fortifications they have, we can break through their defense line in a very short time,—— but the Eighth Road here is known for its tenacious combat, not to mention Lu Yuan and his Sichuan Army Independent Regiment...... Once the war starts, they will never give up until they don't fight until there is not a single soldier left, and it will definitely be a tug-of-war that is extremely hard......"
"yes......"
Okamura Ninji sighed: "Even if there is no matter of Laiyuan last night, and His Excellency Yoshikawa is not assassinated, I want to launch a full-scale offensive as soon as possible and completely pull out the tumor of Trojan County as soon as possible - but our material reserves can't keep up......."
"The current supply has become more and more difficult, and now the material reserves of our various departments, including the food collected from the war plan for a while, can only support more than two months......
"If we can't destroy it before we run out of supplies, we will be dragged to death in the event of a protracted war......
"And on the side of Trojan County and the base area of the Eighth Route Army, the mountain roads are rugged, our tanks and armored vehicles can't get in at all, and the transportation of artillery fire is also difficult to climb, if there is no support of artillery fire, we can only exchange lives with them in the face of the crazy Sichuan Army Independent Regiment and Tubalu, and the outcome is unpredictable......"
Several staff officers sighed one after another, obviously they had already investigated the situation here in depth and made a careful analysis.
"There are many difficulties, but for the sake of the great cause of the East Asian Co-prosperity Sphere of the Empire, we must try our best to overcome it!"
Okamura Ninji said: "I will try my best to apply for more supplies from the military department, and strive to launch a full-scale offensive faster, the great cause of our empire must not stop because of his long distance......"
"I've heard that the economic situation in the country is not optimistic......," Tsuneoka Kanji said suddenly.
At the mention of this topic, all the generals turned pale.
The situation on this island, not to mention them, even ordinary soldiers have already heard of it.
Originally, it was planned to capture Nanking in a few months and push the government of China to the negotiating table, as was the case with the three northeastern provinces a few years earlier, and gradually encroach upon.
Who knows, this time the government of China actually reached a united front with Yan'an, although it was defeated and defeated, it always refused to negotiate peace, and directly dragged the empire into the quagmire of war, unable to pull out its legs.
The main island of Japan. ad_250_left();
"On the battlefield of China, the army of our empire is invincible, and has conquered most of China, and the government of China, in the face of the rapid offensive of our army, moved the capital again, in a vain attempt to block the footsteps of our army with the danger of mountains and rivers......"
"The next step of the military plan will be the Changsha area of China, Changsha is the land of fish and rice, as long as our army occupies Changsha, it will be able to pocket a large area of fertile land and turn it into a second northeast ......"
"If that's the case, that's great......"
"Yes, in the years when we occupied the Northeast, how much rice, sorghum and corn were continuously transported back from the Northeast, if there is a second Northeast, I don't know how many more can be brought back......
Hearing the exciting words on the radio, the skinny Japanese people couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and then looked at the little paste in the bowl, and tears almost fell.
"On the radio, it's good news every day, but what is the result? Isn't it true that we work hard every day, and all the food has to be contributed to support the front line? ”
One of the people sighed: "Maybe the situation on the battlefield in China is far less optimistic than what was said on the radio...... If we are so optimistic, we should have brought back the grain produced by China as before, instead of our rations and starved us ......"
A few civilians were silent, even if they had no culture and didn't have many channels to know the news of the battlefield in China other than the radio, they could hear that this was very reasonable.
"Bage Yalu, you bastard, you're just demagoguery!"
Instead, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy roared and said, "Are you suspecting His Majesty the Emperor of deceiving us? Do you think those lowly Chinese pigs can compete with my brave Imperial army? You scum of the empire, you should commit suicide to seppuku and apologize to the emperor......"
"I, what did I say to me?"
The man who had previously analyzed it reasonably, several people around him hurriedly grabbed him and apologized to the young man at the same time, and at the same time lowered his voice and said: "Don't say it, these young people have fallen into a feverish war and can't extricate themselves, they won't understand at all, everything is fake, only a full stomach is true."
"Oh no, the gendarmerie is coming......
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the street, and there was a sudden rush of chickens and dogs jumping on the street.
The young man, who was still making an impassioned speech, stopped, he knew that every time the gendarmerie appeared, it was to recruit more soldiers, but he was not afraid, because his age was not enough to be a soldier.
"No, no, my man is sick and can't fight!"
"My son is the only son in the family, according to Zhao's order, he doesn't need to join the army, is there a mistake......"
Several women and old men cried, but it was useless, one after another men were forcibly dragged away, and the captain of the gendarmerie shouted impassionedly: "Now is the best era for the unprecedented expansion of the empire, and it is our luck to be able to catch up with this era, to be able to fight for the empire, and it is the great glory of the people of our empire......"
"Well, if it weren't for my lack of age, I would have liked to go to the battlefield immediately and become a part of this great era......"
The young man shouted, clapping desperately and his face flushed with excitement, completely ignoring the cries of the women and the old men and the cold eyes of the people around him.
"Yes, it is precisely because of a patriotic boy like you that my empire can have today!"
The captain of the gendarmerie smiled with satisfaction, patted the young man on the shoulder and said, "You are so ambitious, then come with me, go to the battlefield, and make contributions to the empire!" ”
"Huh?"
The young man was stunned and stammered: "I, I'm only sixteen years old, not yet the age to be a soldier, I'm still studying......"
"If you are ambitious, let's go!" The captain of the gendarmerie said.
"No, no, no, I'm not ready, wait two years, I will definitely go, but not now......"
The boy was anxious, but several gendarmes had already pounced on him like wolves, ignoring his shouts, and dragged him away with his arms, leaving behind a series of screams with crying voices.
"Hey, look at this place, are there any other people besides the old, weak, sick and disabled?"
The people sighed, there was no time to feel sorry for the young man, they were only worried that if the war continued, except for them, the old and weak women and children, in the end there would be no one left, as long as they could hold a gun, they would be forced to go to the battlefield.
