"How many more months?" Wu Shi said with some hesitation: "In this way...... We are afraid that the loss of human rights will be very large, and the cost of the war and the future reconstruction of the Japanese mainland will be very staggering. ”

Chang Ruiqing shook his head slightly: "The account can't be calculated like this." Japan is the only powerful country in Greater East Asia compared to China, and the Yamato nation is also the second largest nation in the Greater East Asia region. However, the strong and the weak are not immutable, and Japan once rose to become the hegemon of the East as a small island country, and its nation must have many excellent qualities...... Those Japanese refugees who have taken refuge in our country for 24 years are now mixing well, right? Now one of the four major chaebols of the Great China Federation is them, and the third largest party in the Senate and Legislative Yuan of the Federation is also theirs, and our universities, scientific research institutions, and hospitals are also full of professors, scientists, and doctors of the He ethnic group, and this is only the achievements of more than 10 million He ethnic groups in just 12 years, and if it is 60 million or 70 million ethnic groups, how much can they achieve in thirty or forty years? ”

Chang Ruiqing's expression had become solemn, he knew how the Japanese in another time and space created an economic miracle on several islands that were bombed into ruins by the Americans after the end of World War II! Although there are factors nurtured by the United States at play, there were not only one or two countries that were responsible for the United States back then, and Japan was the only country that could become a world economic power! And in this time and space, although Japan has failed more completely from a national point of view, it is for the Japanese who have lost their homeland. They have indeed been given a broader space for development -- in the coming years, the people of the Great China Federation will probably become the most diligent, hardworking, disciplined, and educated ethnic group!

Of course, the existence of such an ethnic group is very beneficial to the economic development of the Federation of Greater China. In fact, China's economic miracle after 1924 was also inseparable from the contribution of more than 10 million Japanese refugees. It is precisely because of their arrival that university professors, teachers, scientists, engineers, Western doctors, and skilled workers are no longer "rare humans" that are more cherished than giant pandas. Without these Japanese foreign aids, China's heavy industry would not have reached the third level in the world in any case, and it would not have been possible for millions of well-educated young people to serve in the high-tech arms of the Wehrmacht's navy, air force, and army armored units...... After all, it is only a little more than a dozen years since he left China to end the civil war and achieve reunification.

So from a certain point of view, it was the Japanese Revolution of 1924 that gave birth to the current Great China Federation, and the Japanese refugees at that time were the greatest contributors to the miracle of the economic and industrial development of the Great China Federation, but this does not mean that Chang Ruiqing is willing to see an overly powerful Japanese clan after the war. Of course, his concern was not that the Hezu chaebols and intellectuals were too "powerful". Rather, they were worried about the number of people in He. According to a secret investigation by the State Secrets Bureau, there are about 500 million citizens who identify themselves as Han Chinese in the current territory of the Great China Federation. The He people, including the He people in the Great China Federation, the He people in the Nanyang Federation, and the Japanese people in Japan, together together, the total number is likely to exceed 70 million, and they are firmly in the position of the second largest nation...... Belch. Kill a little. This is not very beneficial to the future unification of the Federation!

Zhao Fatzi already understood Chang Ruiqing's thoughts a little, and his expression became very solemn like Chang Ruiqing: "I have understood what the Prime Minister meant, we must use Guò This war will greatly weaken the strength of the Japanese nation, and only a weak Japanese nation will be conducive to the unity and unification of the yellow nation in Greater East Asia." But...... Wouldn't the use of nuclear fission bombs better weaken the Japanese nation? The General Staff has secretly made plans that if a nuclear fission bomb is dropped on each of the four major Japanese cities of Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka, and Nagoya, it should kill 5 million to 10 million Japanese, and our losses will be ......."

"No, the weakening of the Japanese nation is not an indiscriminate massacre of civilians!" Chang Ruiqing waved his hand and interrupted Zhao Zhendao: "Now most of the young and middle-aged men in Japan have joined the Red Army. What remained in these metropolises were only old and weak women and children, and killing them would only increase hatred. It has little effect on weakening the Japanese nation, which has always been patriarchal, and young and middle-aged men are the real backbone. If we drop a nuclear fission bomb in Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka, and Nagoya, the will of the Japanese to resist will surely collapse, and then their army will surrender, and their young men will not be preserved.

Moreover, killing people on the battlefield is above board, even if millions of people die in battle, it is the price that must be paid for the integration of the ethnic groups of Greater East Asia. Besides, since 1924, the Japanese GCD has always claimed to liberate all mankind and liberate all of Asia, which means the same as the unification of our Greater East Asia. Therefore, the nature of this Sino-Japanese war is still a 'Greater East Asian Civil War,' and the Japanese who fought against us should be regarded as the future citizens of the Great China Federation, so it is not appropriate to take too drastic measures against their old, weak, women, and children. ”

Zhao Fatzi's eyes rolled: "Prime Minister, I understand what you mean, the General Staff will readjust the deployment according to this meaning...... It looks like this war for the reunification of Greater East Asia will last for another year and a half. ”

Wu Shi frowned slightly: "If we fight on the battlefield for another year and a half, we can certainly wipe out millions of Japanese young people, but our casualties will probably reach hundreds of thousands or even millions." And...... Over the years, we have successively invested more than 2 billion yuan in the U project, not including the construction of Shenmu's large-scale coal mine and power plant, and the construction of the Northern Shaanxi Railway. With so much money spent, there must be an explanation, right? This nuclear fission bomb should be used before the end of the war, right? ”

Chang Ruiqing smiled, and his eyes swept over the two in front of him: "Of course the nuclear fission bomb is to be used, I'm afraid it will be of great use!" He sneered: "Now that the Japanese Navy is finished, the Japanese Red Army is gone, and the victory of the Great East Asian Unification War has been locked." But the war for the destruction of the Soviet Union had only just begun, and Trotsky still had more than 20 million well-armed Red Army troops at his disposal. Without a bitter battle, it will be difficult for us and the Germans to pick the fruits of the final victory. Fortunately, there are now nuclear fission bombs...... I believe that Hitler would not mind using such weapons to destroy the will of the Russian nation to resist, right? As for the will of the Japanese nation to resist, let us slowly wear it out with a bloody war. ”

……

1936 year. March 4.

The fighting has become more and more intense on all fronts of Kitakyushu and western Honshu. In front of Kitakyushu, more than 100,000 landing troops of the Wehrmacht's marines and the Army's 9th and 10th armies were caught up in a fierce battle with the Japanese army. The counterattack of the Japanese "Kyushu Army" began the night before, and in one fell swoop a heavy group of 12 divisions and regiments, covering a fairly dense infantry with strong firepower, and launched a full-line onslaught on the Chinese army's defense line in Fukuoka Prefecture, Kitakyushu. After learning of the start of the Japanese ground offensive, the Japanese Front Headquarters in Lushun Sun Gully unequivocally gave a death order to General Guan Linzheng, commander of the Fourth Army, who had just come ashore. The Fourth Army had to firmly hold the Kitakyushu bridgehead, especially Hakata Port, an important port in Kitakyushu, with its existing strength, including four marine divisions. The port must not be abandoned for any reason!

This was indeed a rather difficult task for the 10 divisions under the jurisdiction of the 4th Army, which had just come ashore. None of these 10 divisions was the most powerful mechanized unit of the Wehrmacht Army, and since they had only been on the Japanese mainland for a short time, they did not carry a large amount of heavy weapons and supplies. The sea supply lines behind them were destroyed by a certain amount of damage due to the seizure of power. It's not smooth in the first place. On the night of March 3, three more Japanese capital ships ran aground on Iwaya Beach in Kitakyushu, and their 410mm guns had directly threatened the ports of Kitakyushu under the control of all squadrons, including Hakata Port. Although the Chinese Air Force has more than 2,000 transport aircraft, including the tens of thousands of airborne troops in Yamaguchi Prefecture, there are more than 200,000 troops who need them to provide logistical supplies, which is really difficult to bear. Therefore, the troops of the 10 divisions in Kitakyushu do not receive sufficient supplies every day!

And their opponent, the top brass of the Japanese Kyushu Army, after learning of the crushing defeat of the Japanese Navy. It seems to have fallen into the final madness! Especially in Kitakyushu, they fought back almost at the cost of a single qiē. It is to annihilate the hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops who landed before the Chinese army destroys the stranded 3 Japanese capital ships and opens up the sea supply line! I thought that this would hurt the Chinese army and force the Chinese government to start negotiations on "peaceful reunification" with Japan!

The sound of cannon echoed through the valley hills. The top of Katasuyama Mountain, an important position in the Hakata area, is full of fireballs of smoke rising high and low. The Japanese mountain artillery was placed in the woods below the mountain, and shells were poured on the hill as if they didn't want money. This hill is the gateway to Hakata Port, guarding the choke point from Dazaifu to Hakata, and if you take it, you can compress the Chinese army into the Hakata Port area! The Japanese Red Army, with an entire division and reinforced an artillery wing, stormed the area, and for a time captured the main position on Katarope Mountain, but was defeated by the counterattack of the 1st Marine Regiment of the Chinese Army. Beginning on the morning of 4 March, the Japanese Red Army's offensive reached a frenzied course, ignoring the powerful firepower suppression of the Chinese Army's Qiang-1 aircraft in the air, and constantly attacking repeatedly with a dense sea of people, but it was again and again beaten down by the officers and men of the Chinese Marine Army. The foot of the mountainside was littered with the mutilated or blood-soaked corpses of the Japanese Red Army, layer upon layer, and the terrible wails of the corpses were heard from time to time, all of which were issued by some Japanese Red Army soldiers who had not yet accepted the cruel reality that they were dead. However, the situation of the defenders was not much better, the field fortifications they hastily built had long been turned into a blank field, and the officers and men of the 1st Marine Regiment could only rely on the craters scattered all over the hills to put up the most stubborn resistance!

Boom......

Amid the continuous explosion of shells, Colonel Xu Syou lay in a crater shot by a 122mm grenade, holding a telescope and carefully observing the movements of the Japanese Red Army at the foot of the mountain. This short Henan man has a scruffy beard on his face, his eyes are bloodshot, and his gaze is extremely sharp, looking like a fierce and vicious look. This crater has undergone a haphazard transformation and has become his former enemy command post, although an Wehrmacht officer of his level does not need to be on the front line at all, but Colonel Xu Syou's command style is like this. Lead by example!

The Japanese shells landed on the hillside not far from him, but he didn't even blink an eyelid. Through the binoculars, he could already see that another brigade-sized Japanese attack column had been assembled and was forming an offensive formation. Halfway up Katarope Mountain. There was a dilapidated trench still in the hands of a small unit of the Japanese Red Army, Xu Siyou commanded his marines to launch several counterattacks with the support of air firepower, but they were unable to drive away those Japanese Red Army, and the Japanese army also continued to replenish its strength, at any cost to keep this small foothold, in order to cover the Japanese offensive at the foot of the mountain, the Japanese troops who were sticking to the tattered trenches were using all the firepower in their hands to shoot at the Chinese troops at the heights. It seems that he wants to attract all the firepower of the Chinese army to his head.

At this time, the attack of the Japanese attack column at the foot of the mountain had begun!

Xu Syou picked up the phone, and after two shouts, he connected to the headquarters of the First Marine Division in the rear: "I am Xu Syou." The Japanese are coming up and need artillery support, can the artillery fight now? ”

On the other end of the phone, the voice of Liu Anqi, chief of staff of the division, came: "The artillery regiment has just completed the transfer of positions, and I can give you 5 minutes." No longer will work. It would be bad if the guns of the Japanese battleships were provoked to counterattack! ”

"5 minutes is 5 minutes, please cover the mountainside part of the southern slope of Katarope Mountain. Also, can you bring some ammunition up? Our regiment consumes a lot of ammunition, and if we continue like this, we will have to count the bullets and fight! ”

"Okay, I'll try to figure it out for you."

On the other end of the telephone line, Liu Anqi, chief of staff of the 1st Marine Division, put down the phone and arranged the shelling, then frowned and said to the division commander Song Xilian: "Division, Xu Syou's side is asking for ammunition again." The Type 31 own rifle and the Type 34 machine gun are too bullet-eating, do you see if it's ......"

Song Xilian was looking down at the map. Without raising his head, he replied: "Give him another 50 million rounds of bullets, tell Sù Xu S friends that this is the last batch today, and if you don't have it anymore, let him count the bullets and fight." He paused and said, "Shouru, how is the situation with Gao Kuiyuan?" Has the resistance in the southern district been suppressed? ”

"It has been suppressed, and thousands of hostages have been captured and imprisoned in the Taiping Temple."

Song Xilian breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "Let Gao Kuiyuan transfer a battalion, bring two artillery companies of the 2nd Marine Regiment, and eighty percent of the ammunition reserves to support Xu Syou." ”

"Minami-ku" is a district in Fukuoka City, next to Mt. Katasa, and is also the defense area of the 1st Marine Division, but it is not the first line. However, the 1st Marine Division still encountered a lot of trouble there, and it was the so-called "resistance". These guys were arranged by the Japanese Red Army before the evacuation of Fukuoka City, and they were lurking in Chuo-ku, Jonan-ku, Hakata-ku, and Higashi-ku, Fukuoka City. During the Japanese Red Army's counteroffensive last night, an armed uprising was launched in the above-mentioned areas to coordinate the frontal offensive of the Japanese Red Army. As a result, the 1st Marine Division and the 29th and 30th Divisions of the 10th Army stationed in Fukuoka were forced to withdraw some troops to suppress them in the urban area of Fukuoka! According to the recollections of Shuko Yamaguchi, who later became a federal parliamentarian, the repression at that time was quite brutal and almost bloody Cheng dù!

“…… I arrived in Fukuoka City on March 2, 1936, as a member of the Wehrmacht Women's Field Service Corps, and my specific job was to act as an interpreter for the front-line troops of the Wehrmacht-based troops - under my father's teaching, my Chinese skills were quite good, and I was able to talk to ordinary Chinese soldiers, so I was able to escape from the status of prisoner of war with this specialty, and thus witnessed the bloody and brutal repression in Fukuoka City.

The Fukuoka Uprising, which was later widely publicized by the Japanese, took place around midnight on March 3, and gunfire rang out almost simultaneously in Chuo, Jonan, Hakata, and Higashi Wards, as well as signs against the Chinese occupation. However, the Chinese defense forces counterattacked more aggressively, and by the morning of March 4, the insurgents had been completely defeated, but the bloody crackdown had just begun! At least 2,000 Japanese prisoners were taken prisoner of war in Minami Fukuoka alone, most of them boys between the ages of 12 and 15, but also some elderly people, who were taken to the green space outside the Taiheiji Temple, where they were executed! It was not the soldiers of the 1st Marine Regiment who were responsible for the execution, but the officers and soldiers of the He tribe drawn from the 29th Division, who were probably the most brutal officers and soldiers in the entire Chinese Defense Force, and no matter how the captured Japanese rebels cried and pleaded, they could not hesitate to pull the trigger and kill them one by one with rifles, and then stab all the dead with bayonets......

Oh, only men will be executed, women will be spared. My task was to find out all the women from the captives, who were temporarily held in Taiheiji Temple, along with the hostages they had taken from all over Fukuoka City, and if there was another uprising in Fukuoka City, they would be executed along with all the hostages! Thankfully, that didn't happen. Of course, this memory does not appear in Yamaguchi Shuko's memoirs, but in the fact that she later became Tsuneki's private secretary and told Prime Minister Toneta that she "knew nothing" about it......
