Chapter 1008: Cherry Blossoms
"I thought he was going to kill him directly?" After Meng Xiang heard Zhang Lingfu's actions after attacking Mount Fuji, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly and smiled. ,!
"His temper might have rushed straight ahead." Fan Chong smiled beside him, "However, Wang Zuomin has always been cautious, and this time he came up with an idea behind his back. After all, it is easy to fight a lawsuit in the future. ”
"Yes, war has never been just a battlefield. The power of the sword is just as great! Meng Xiang also sighed.
The Chinese intellectuals of this era were deeply influenced by Western thought, and although the ideological trend of Chinese cultural revival promoted by Meng Xiang was constantly infiltrating, Western public opinion still had a great influence on them. In many cases, if a large-scale massacre does not have a beautiful coat, not only will foreign public opinion be passive, but many people at home who claim to love the world will also set off a storm in the mainstream public opinion dominated by cultural people. It's not fatal, but it's troublesome enough.
"However, the Sakura Project has already been launched. Tell the following, deal with the Japanese, don't worry too much, and someone will naturally come out to deal with related things. Meng Xiang said indifferently.
Although public opinion suppresses people's hearts, since the Chinese army landed on the Japanese mainland, it has been very clear that the time for Huaxia to take revenge has come.
Sometimes, the aura of the victor is enough to weave a beautiful coat.
……
On the top of Mt. Fuji, the five-star red flag and the black and white national flag of China were planted on the snow, which made many Japanese people cry.
At this time, the Japanese people not only stirred up the sound of 100 million broken jade, but also heard the rumor of dying for Shengyue.
The Japanese are prone to extremes, and the culture of favoritism is very strong, even if the government can't stop it.
In the original World War II, it was common for Japanese people to commit suicide in groups, and it was not uncommon for thousands of Japanese people to commit suicide together in Okinawa and other places and in mainland Japan.
At this time, the Japanese high-level officials, who wished that the people would jump out to resist the Chinese attack, acquiesced in this kind of move to die on Mount Fuji, where the Chinese army was stationed, which could inspire the people's fighting spirit to resist. Mt. Fuji, which is a sacred mountain in Japan, means eternal life in the Ezo language, and he committed suicide here. Apparently the best option for those who are already desperate.
Before the Chinese army attacked, people here rushed to the desperate people to kill themselves every day in the war, and at this time, after a flicker of rumors, more people came.
"We have long said that in addition to those terrorists with weapons, there are many Japanese civilians who kill themselves, you see, there are many people who kill themselves." Zhang Lingfu also attributed the reason why the Japanese civilians around Mt. Fuji were cleared together was that Japan itself could not think of it. explained to Western journalists who came looking for certain subjects.
"Then why don't you stop it?" A British and American reporter asked.
"It's a custom. We have no right to interfere! Zhang Lingfu said impatiently, "Besides, our number of people is very small, and communication is inconvenient, so we can't take care of so many people who want to kill themselves." Or. Stay and carry forward the spirit of humanity! ”
The Chinese army continued to sweep east and north, and there was only a small garrison near Mount Fuji to guard the banner of the mountain. Everything else is temporarily away from the whirlpool of public opinion.
The International Red Cross continued to be stationed on Mt. Fuji, but since the Japanese who went mad before they died, hacked to death a few of their members, and were besieged several times by people who were preparing to commit suicide, few people had come to promote the spirit of humanity, and they could only shake their heads at the hundreds of Japanese who were running to kill themselves like pilgrimages every day.
The Chinese also have a detailed record, which makes it impossible for British and American journalists to falsify on a large scale. Although the parties are still fighting with each other. But at least Huaxia is not fully passive.
The Western world has also come to understand the Japanese penchant for suicide. Since then, it has also opened the door to some special operations of the Chinese army.
More and more Japanese people are being labeled as suicidal and disappearing from this world completely.
The cherry blossoms are going to bloom continuously.
……
"I don't know when. Can those fragile little devils pile up another Mt. Fuji? Meng Xiang sneered in his heart, ignoring the news that he had committed suicide on Mount Fuji, and turned his energy to the Americans who had retreated to the Izu Peninsula.
The 300,000-strong Chinese army quickly swept across Numazu and blocked the Americans on the Izu Peninsula who had not had time to evacuate.
While the Kaxia warplanes were obscuring the skies over the Izu Peninsula, the warships of the Kaxia Navy had blocked the sea route for their evacuation.
The crying and cursing American GIs had no intention of fighting, and they fled in a race, and were gradually driven by the Chinese army to Shimoda at the southern end of Izu, and there was no way out.
More than 30,000 U.S. troops who had abandoned their supplies looked at the sea from afar, and could not see the slightest shadow of the U.S. Navy's response. Coupled with the more than 10,000 U.S. troops who voluntarily surrendered because they fell behind along the way, 46,000 U.S. troops became prisoners of China.
Similarly, more than 60,000 American troops who retreated to the north road near Chiba were also besieged by 350,000 Chinese troops, and there was no hope of escaping, and they finally held on until the remaining 130,000 Japanese troops became cannon fodder, and they could only surrender.
These days, the slogans of preferential treatment of prisoners shouted by the Chinese people, as well as the shouts of a group of American prisoners, have made more American GIs understand that the Chinese are not as cruel as the Japanese, and at least they can enjoy the treatment of the Geneva Convention.
With supplies becoming more and more difficult and the Navy delaying support, the American GIs gave themselves the best excuse to save their lives.
The Huaxia Navy, which was constantly cruising to Japan's Pacific waters, could not muster much courage from the US Navy with the advantage of five battleships and six main aircraft carriers. And the submarines that are everywhere and the Huaxia Air Force, which occupies the superiority in the sky, make the US Navy even more inadequate in self-protection.
After losing 3 light aircraft carriers and 2 cruisers, the U.S. Navy near Japan abandoned its approach to the coast and suffered a combined devastation by the Chinese land, sea and air forces.
Without gaining superiority at sea, the US Navy simply did not dare to force the army.
Six troop carriers have sunk, and more than 10,000 American troops have not died on the battlefield, but have sunk to the bottom of the sea on the way to escape.
"We need more warships and planes!" Washington's constant urging for the withdrawal of U.S. troops annoyed Nimitz.
Neither in the air nor at sea, now in the vicinity of Japan, the Americans do not have an advantage.
The Atlantic Fleet and the Continental Fleet were far from quenching their thirst, and without complete certainty, Nimitz did not want another defeat at all.
The U.S. Navy, which had finally gathered some troops from Australia and the Pacific Ocean, was ready to come to the rescue, but it did not expect the army to surrender so quickly. After hearing the news, he could only retreat to the Philippines to suppress the growing riots there.
The United States is ready to abandon Japan, and the Philippines cannot afford to lose any more.
It's just that the indigenous armed rebellion in the Philippines is not very worried about the Americans, but the South China Sea Fleet of China is constantly roaming around the Philippines, so they don't dare to take it lightly.
After successive losses, the Americans' strength in the western Pacific is now too weak, and they have to mobilize military forces from the islands near Australia.
But they seem to have forgotten that there are still a million-strong Chinese army stationed on the Australian mainland.
On January 14, the 150,000 Chinese troops stationed in Australia crossed the Arafura Strait one after another and attacked Irian Island, which was only 40,000 troops stationed in the coastal area.
The sub-base in the northeast corner of Australia has been upgraded and adjusted, and it has begun to become powerful, and the rhino grizzly tank group pouring out from the rear of the American army quickly collapsed the American army defending the beach. With the Chinese fighters in the air gradually gaining an advantage, and the Americans lacked enough naval ships to intercept them, the Chinese troops quickly and successfully landed on some beaches.
Later, at the cost of 8,000 casualties, they swept through the American forces on Irian Island in five days, destroying 17,000 enemies and capturing 25,000.
After Irian Island was controlled, it could not only go north to threaten the Philippines, but also directly cut off the back route for the 50,000 U.S. troops who landed on Nusa Tenggara and Java Island to withdraw eastward.
The US military in these places is in dire need of naval rescue from the direction of the Indian Ocean.
All of this has made the Americans unable to take care of Japan, and they are also incapable of saving Japan's final fate.
At this time, the million-strong Chinese army had already surrounded Tokyo, Yokohama, Kawasaki and other places on three sides, and it was not at all something that the 180,000 reinforcements of the Americans could mix.
And there are more Chinese troops converging here.
Kawasaki and Urawa have already ignited the flames of war, and millions of Chinese troops have already looked at Tokyo from afar.
……
"Those generals can't hold their breath, they all want to be the first to attack Tokyo!" Fan Chong laughed, "Even I want to go around Tokyo!" ”
"I also have a lot of war letters and blood letters here, but although the Americans have lost all their troops near Japan, they must also be dike against their counterattack, and there are still a large number of Japanese, and the defense of other places should not be sloppy!" Although many places have been scraped into white ground by the Chinese people, Meng Xiang still reminded,
"However, the Battle of Tokyo should not be taken lightly. I heard that the whole of Tokyo is now a fortress, and all the people are soldiers, vowing to break the jade collectively. Then let our soldiers smash the broken jade of the little devils! ”
