Chapter 965: Attack on the Land of
The Japanese still defended themselves against the Americans, and the main forces of the Japanese Navy were slower to be withdrawn. In the first two weeks of the agreement between Japan and the United States, the main thing was the Japanese fighters who returned ahead of schedule and the counteroffensive launched by the local army against China.
After continuing to hold Tsuruga on the east flank, gradually controlling the area around Lake Biwa, and relying on the terrain to intercept reinforcements from the east, the main direction of attack of the landed Huaxia army was to the west, gradually capturing Mt. Fukuchi and Toyooka, and together with the Huaxia troops that landed from Matsue and occupied Yonako, they flanked Kurayoshi and Tottori.
With the outward expansion of China in Wakasa Bay, the Japanese became a little unbreathed and began to send more defensive troops from Kobe, Osaka, Kyoto, and Nagoya to support Wakasa Bay nearby.
The emergency situation on Kyushu Island also caused the Japanese to transfer troops from Hiroshima, Fukuyama and other places, as well as troops on Shikoku Island.
The cities facing the Whale Sea side of Japan were all like facing a great enemy, and they did not dare to draw troops. However, after signing a secret treaty with the United States, the Japanese transferred their elite troops defending the Pacific side to Kyushu and Wakasa Bay, and even half of the troops around Tokyo Bay.
More militias are being organized, and the first batch of 100,000 Japanese veterans who fought overseas are also on their way to retreat, giving the Japanese peace of mind. More importantly, with the summer and autumn seasons, the number of typhoons in the Whale Sea area gradually increased, and the number of supply ships in China in the Whale Sea decreased sharply. This makes the Japanese feel like the kamikaze of the Yuan Dynasty, like divine help.
In accordance with the instructions of their superiors, the Chinese army put more energy into the solid defense and was busy with the plundering operations in the occupied areas, which also gave the Japanese the illusion that the Chinese offensive was weak.
So he hurriedly dispatched the main force of the local area, vainly thinking that if he added a handful of oil, he would be able to drive the Chinese people into the sea.
It's just that they once again ignored the sharpest airborne tactics that Huaxia has always had. Or rather, they are confident that they are on alert, and that there are still a large number of fighters returning.
However, with the weakening of the Japanese air power, the skies over the Japanese mainland were once again dominated by the Chinese.
With Meng Xiang giving the order to launch the second phase of the planned offensive, October 3. Layers of black clouds rolled up over the Japanese mainland again.
The formation of more than 3,000 transport planes, more than 2,000 bombers, and escort fighters obscured the clouds and the sun, and the air currents rolled up by the propellers shattered the floating clouds in the distance, revealing a hideous attack on the main Japanese island below.
The places where the Japanese heavy troops were massed were bombarded with metallic sheen in their faces. However, in the skies of Hiroshima, Kure, Kobe, Kyoto, Osaka, Nagoya and other industrial, commercial and industrial cities or military centers, white umbrella flowers float.
Kure was the stronghold of the Japanese Navy and one of the top ten cities in Japan at that time.
The Kure Naval Factory is the center of the construction of Japanese naval vessels, and its employees are the sum of the three factories of Yokosuka, Saga, and Maizuru. There are all kinds of machines and equipment large and small that Meng Xiang covets.
With the close bombardment of the pioneer artillery and the close support of the sub-base buildings, Saga and Nagasaki, another important shipbuilding base in Japan, have also fallen into the hands of the Chinese army. Nagasaki Shipyard. The Mitsubishi military base in Nagasaki, before the Japanese were willing to blow it up, had been controlled by the Chinese army and began to dismantle, preparing to disassemble and move out.
Hiroshima is also an extremely important heavy industry base and military base in Japan, and the main base of the atomic bomb project secretly developed by the Japanese is in Hiroshima.
Not to mention the various cultural relics in Kyoto, which are also full of traces of China, and the wealth gathered in one of Japan's core industrial and commercial districts, such as Kobe and Osaka, the Kobe and Osaka Arsenal alone made Meng Xiang refuse to let go. There is also the Nagoya Arsenal in Aichi Prefecture, which is known as one of the four largest arsenals in Japan.
After the puppet Manchurians and Korea were recovered by China, relying on advance calculations and protection, the two arsenals carefully managed by the Japanese in Shenyang and Incheon basically fell into the hands of China unharmed. Now the shift is being made to the specialized production of weapons of the new Chinese standard.
The four major army arsenals of the Japanese were left with the Tokyo Ogura Arsenal and Nagoya.
For the extraordinarily tightly defended Tokyo area, it is unrealistic for Meng Xiang to want to capture it without damage and the loot without damage.
Tokyo is the target of the third phase of this plan, and through multi-directional pressing, the forces around Osaka Bay have been mobilized much weaker, and it is close to the direct jurisdiction of the sub-base, so the target is these places this time.
After all, the number and firepower of the airborne troops are inherently insufficient, if it weren't for the fact that there was a large army hidden in nearby Wakasa Bay that was about to attack the Kansai region as the main force, Meng Xiang would not dare to be reckless without the support of the nearest base. Airborne troops alone will conquer Nagoya and the entire Aichi Prefecture.
Now that there are 100,000 troops rushing in from Wakasa Bay, the task of the airborne troops is only to take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, occupy various strategic targets, and win over the arrival of the army to save the fruits of victory from the Japanese who are forced to be in a hurry.
So far, most of the Japanese are still holding on to fighting off the Chinese. The idea of taking back these belongings from the hands of the Chinese.
It's just that the frenzied demolition of Huaxia in Hokkaido and Kitakyushu has made many Japanese worried, and there are more and more calls for the jade to be broken and not left to the Chinese enemy.
Japan's top brass is still hesitating, after all, it has been destroyed, and if it wants to build those facilities again, I am afraid it will be delayed for at least a few years, or even longer. This will undoubtedly delay Japan's re-emergence and even become a fisherman's harvest between China and the United States.
"Even if the Huaxia people can move these to Huaxia, we will be able to move back in the future!" Many Japanese people comfort themselves with this.
However, there were also a few crazy Japanese who were worried about their factories and some property.
Meng Xiang doesn't care at all, many of the equipment of the Japanese are already rags and cannot keep up with the pace of future electrification development. If it weren't for the great business of the Huaxia family, which needed more equipment to support the family, and pursued the quantity first, Meng Xiang would not be able to look down on these.
Now that Germany is busy with the war, and the Americans are selling less equipment to China, in order to promote the industrialization process on a large scale, they can only barely use it at first, and then modernize and upgrade it or speed up depreciation as soon as possible.
In line with the principle that mosquito meat is also meat, when the Chinese army swept away, it could keep as much equipment and materials as possible without endangering its own safety, and did its best. Moreover, this time, the places where the Chinese airborne troops rushed to control were the essence of Japanese industry, and many of the equipment was also at the world's advanced level.
In the previous life, some second-rate goods that the Japanese moved to China were used by the Chinese people across the century, and these heavyweight equipment were not specially protected by Meng Xiang, and there were various scientific and technological materials accumulated by the Japanese.
A lot of technical data in the industry is obtained through a lot of money and time, through dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of experiments.
Even if you have money, you don't necessarily accumulate it quickly. Although Meng Xiang is willing to invest, but after all, there is a lack of accumulated time, and there is still some lack in some fields in China, although there is technical support from Germany and the United States, but some of the research of the Japanese also has its own characteristics.
Among them, the Japanese can take a large number of human bodies for experiments without any scruples, and accumulate a lot of first-hand information for their medical and biochemical research that cannot be obtained by others. A lot of the research materials of the Americans were obtained from the Japanese.
The rapid rise of the Japanese after World War II was also due to their solid foundation. Through the plundered wealth and the energy of the war fanatic, the Japanese digested and made up for the shortcomings of many industrial foundations.
And if Huaxia takes advantage of others, it will inevitably be better.
Even in order to better absorb the fruits of Japanese labor, Meng Xiang even planned to take away those Japanese experts and scientific and technological personnel.
Talent is the source of wealth and inspiration at all times. If they can be used, they will be squeezed out of the last trace of value, and when they cannot be used, they will be cleaned and never left to the Japanese.
……
When the Japanese reinforcements from all over the country gathered around Lake Biwa, between Kyoto and Maizuru, preparing for a decisive battle with Huaxia and winning the battle, Huaxia's tank and armored forces rushed over first.
Because of the inconvenience of transportation and the lack of support from the nearest base, after accumulating in Wakasa Bay for so many days, Huaxia only gathered more than 1,200 tanks for assault.
That's enough, though. More than 600 tanks were dispatched on each route of Kyoto and Nagoya, which was enough to cut a large hole in the Japanese reinforcements. In the rear, 20,000 mechanized infantry in multi-purpose infantry vehicles swept through the Japanese defense line and rushed straight to the fragile land in the rear.
The Japanese, whose main forces were all moved to the front line, could only watch the departure of the Huaxia armored vehicles, and then the motorized infantry from the rear from Wakasa Bay tore the hole in the defense line wider and was repeatedly crushed.
Even though the main force of the tank force and the storm swept towards the metropolitan area, those bulky King Tiger and other tanks and numerous heavy self-propelled guns remained, enough to ravage the Japanese defense line over and over again. (To be continued)
