Since the signing of the Treaty of Shimonoseki. Taiwan became Japan's homeland. In the eyes of some Japanese, the attack on Kaohsiung Airport was the first time in the history of Japan that it was attacked by a foreign enemy, and it was regarded by them as a great shame. In such an atmosphere, even if the Japanese Konoe Cabinet had the intention of peacefully resolving the "China incident," it had no choice but to take pity on the matter and handle it cautiously. This attitude of the cabinet also made the General Staff Headquarters, which had already had a soft attitude toward China, harden up again, and began to directly inquire about the strategy of Minyue Qiong, making a posture of sharpening their knives and wanting to fight with the Cadet Army.

At this time, the political situation in Japan has stabilized. At the beginning of the year, Prime Minister Fumima Konoe felt that "he was being led by the nose" and did not have the slightest respect from the members of the command such as Minister Sugiyama Moto, and was completely a puppet-like existence, so he had the idea of retiring and was ready to resign. With the support of Emperor Hirohito and the patriarch Saionji Kotoshi, he succeeded in replacing Sugiyama Motoshi with Seishiro Itagaki, commander of the 5th Division, who promised to agree to the "peaceful settlement of the China Incident," as land minister, and at the same time invited Senior General Ugaki Kazunari, a "senior of the army," to join the cabinet as foreign minister, thus successfully restraining the Ministry of War and beginning to formally implement the policy of peace, with a view to resolving the "China Incident" without using force.

At that time, regardless of the fact that the two sides were fighting in the Xuzhou Battlefield and the Eastern Henan Battlefield, the Japanese and Lao Chiang seemed to be on the same page, but in fact the two sides were in private contact, and the GMD even sent Kong Xiangxi, the premier of the Executive Yuan, as a representative to discuss a "peaceful settlement" with the Japanese.

The attack on Kaohsiung Airport made the Japanese realize the existence of Ouyang Yun and the sworn enemy of the empire on the Chinese battlefield, in addition to Jiang and the Central Army under his command, so some people began to propose that Minyue Qiong be listed separately from the "China Incident" and dealt with separately. This suggestion fell into the ears of Ugaki Issei, who took it into play and came up with a poisonous plan to create a split in China and completely separate the Central Army and the Cadet Army.

The attack on Kaohsiung Airport, coupled with the sinking of the "Akagi" before, also completely shook the Japanese people's understanding of the position of aviation in modern warfare. The concept of the Japanese aviation, which had previously remained at the level of auxiliary arms, seriously limited the development of its aviation industry and aviation tactics. However, as the "LZ-I" long-range bomber has received intensive attention from the top level of the Japanese military, the Japanese are worried about the security of their homeland, and they have no choice but to include the plan of developing advanced fighters that can be used to produce such fighters as a key military focus of national defense. Eventually, with Hirohito's approval, an aviation command was established under the Ministry of War for trial operation.

An air raid actually caused Japan to adjust a series of policies, which Tie Linfei, the executor of this air raid, did not expect. As for the mastermind Ouyang Yun, when the news reached his ears, he was also very surprised. That's right, his premature exposure of the power of the "LZ-I" long-range bomber was indeed out of some ulterior secret, and his desire to "help the abuse" gave a boost to the development of history - but he did not expect that the Japanese, who were known for their stubbornness and arrogance, would take such a broad step out of the road, and even made him wonder again whether he had opened Pandora's box and released an uncontrolled monster.

INTERVIEWER Will the history of World War II change as a result? Where will China's World War II road ultimately go?!

As the Scholar Army became stronger and stronger, Ouyang Yun became more and more troubled as he got older, and he was not as full of belief in victory as he was before for some of the things he had tried to plan before-the situation in Minyueqiong and even the entire South China Sea was good, but the situation in the north was far worse than that time and space.

At a time when the report of the great victory in the Kaohsiung air raid was widely reprinted by many domestic newspapers on the front page, Zhengzhou, the descendants of the Central Army, first promoted and then suppressed, and released a big satellite for the Chinese people.

Just when the Battle of Taierzhuang began, in order to prevent Cheng Qian from sending troops to support the Fifth Theater in the First Theater, the 14th Division of the North China Front Army forcibly crossed the Yellow River under the command of the division commander Shunroku Hata in a vain attempt to build a sniper line on the eastern Henan line and block the connection between the First Theater and the Fifth Theater. However, with the success of the Taierzhuang raid, the Xuzhou battlefield turned into a stalemate, and the 14th Division became a lone army far away from the main force of the Japanese army, surrounded on all sides by Cheng Qian's mobilization of more than 120,000 troops from six armies.

With 120,000 people fighting 20,000, even if the Japanese soldiers were really as legendary as one could top three national soldiers, there would be no suspense in this battle. Cheng Qian, the commander of the First War Zone, said heroically: Even if you eat it, you can eat it and you can eat it too.

When the news was learned by the outside world, many people predicted that this would be an unprecedented victory since the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. And the old Jiang Xu felt that this battle was unjustified, and it was the best time to gain honor, so he flew to Kaifeng and decided to personally command this siege and annihilation battle.

The chairman of the NPC National Committee personally went to the front line of the battlefield, which undoubtedly gave a shot in the arm to the Chinese people who were too eager for a hearty victory. As a result, even some people who are no longer optimistic about the "Central Army" have become full of confidence at this moment, believing that they will definitely be able to wipe out the 20,000 devils.

However, the development of the war has surprised everyone. After Toshiroku Hata was surrounded, he judged the situation and first broke through to Lanfeng. In terms of the national army, it was Gui Yongqing, a confidant of Jiang someone, who guarded Lanfeng, and the 27th Army under his command was a descendant of the Central Army, and its equipment was so well-equipped that it was superior to the enemy's 14th Division. The attack on Lanfeng was led by the commander of the 14th Division, Shunroku Hata himself, but there were only about 10,000 people, which was also inferior in strength compared with the 27th Army. It is said that in this case, the 27th Army should be able to hold Lanfeng, and if the tactics are used properly, it can even take the opportunity to inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army.

And just when Lao Jiang was waiting for Gui Yongqing to send a good news, something happened that made him want to cry without tears. Before this little devil could charge, the 27th Army, which was sitting on the sharp artillery of the fortified city, retreated on all fronts, and more than 20,000 people could not hold on for a day! The war report was sent to Lao Jiang, and he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

As soon as the 27th Army was defeated, the encirclement collapsed. However, considering that the 27th Army did not suffer much losses and that the First Theater still had an absolute superiority in troops, Cheng Qian was angry and did not give up on himself, but readjusted his deployment, allowing other troops to encircle and annihilate the 14th Division from different directions, and successfully cut off the headquarters of the 14th Division and the Sakai detachment to which it belonged. According to his assumption, as long as the 14th Division can be bitten to the death, then with the huge advantage in troops, it will be a desperate consumption, and the 20,000 devils can be consumed. With so many Japanese troops and no effective replenishment of weapons and ammunition, they must be getting more and more tired from fighting, so it is still very possible to completely annihilate them in time.

It was expected that just when the situation on the battlefield had just tilted towards the Chinese side and the winner was about to be decided, the Huang Jie Division of the Eighth Army defending Shangqiu had another situation. Huang Jiebu's performance was even more unbearable, this little devil hadn't come over yet, the defenders had already abandoned the city and fled, so that Hata Junliu got Shangqiu without firing a shot.

Once Shangqiu was lost, the defenders between Shangqiu and Lanfeng immediately fell into the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy on their backs, so they had to choose to retreat. At this point, the good situation that Cheng Qian had painstakingly planned was lost, and not only failed to complete the initial plan of the war, but even Kaifeng and Zhengzhou became precarious.

Gui Yongqing and Huang Jie's subordinates are both descendants of Lao Jiang, although Lao Jiang was furious in his heart, but he did not have the courage to slap his mouth, so he had no choice but to use the rogue methods when he was on the beach and ordered the Yellow River to be dug again......

Although the bursting of the embankment at the mouth of the Yellow River Huayuankou blocked the westward route of the Japanese army, and drowned more than 10,000 devils, making the Central Plains area defend for several more years, it also caused the displacement of millions of people in the Central Plains, of which nearly one million were drowned, so the property losses caused were even more incalculable. Therefore, although Lao Chiang had the courage to order the embankment to be broken, he did not have the courage to do so, and directly forged a series of evidence and blamed it on the Japanese.

As soon as the news of the bursting of the Yellow River's embankment appeared in the newspapers, it aroused the common hatred and hatred of the Chinese people, and the domestic and foreign media all condemned the atrocities of the Japanese army. Among them, the newspapers under the Xuebing Military Government even published editorials for three consecutive days to denounce them, and at the same time called on the areas under their jurisdiction to launch a fund-raising campaign for the relief of the victims.

Ouyang Yun was still in Hainan at the time, and after learning the news from the telegram sent by the headquarters, he was silent for a long time and said one sentence: The army is incompetent, and it affects the people! He then stopped saying a word on the matter.

Hainan's coastal defense system is still under intense construction. Hainan Island is too big for it to be impossible to stop the Japanese landing on all fronts once a war starts, but it would be even more unwise to abandon coastal defense and allow the Japanese troops to land at will, and the best way to do so is to focus on defense, skillfully make use of the complex terrain of Hainan Island, and use infantry to protect key areas, so that the Japanese army cannot take root on Hainan Island.

Ouyang Yun has a feeling that the Japanese will make a move on Min Yueqiong in the near future. In that case, the cadet army will face the difficult problem of fighting on two fronts or even three fronts. Historically, Hainan, Guangzhou, and Fujian had already fallen at this time. In this time and space, although the Japanese strategy of Fujian and Guangdong was blocked because of the strong intervention of the Scholar Army, as the Japanese made progress in the interior, starting from the overall situation, it was impossible for them to put aside the solution of Minyue Qiong for a long time. In the earlier war games, the General Staff of the Cadet Army had three guesses about the direction of the Japanese army's attack, the most certain of which was the direction of Hainan. With the Japanese character of being eager to take revenge, they will certainly do everything possible to take revenge on the humiliation suffered by the Combined Fleet in the "sinking bar," and then Hainan, as the only avant-garde position in Minyue, Qiong, and Qiong, is bound to be patronized by the Japanese navy.

Whether proceeding from the protection of Hainan's vested interests or considering the overall situation, Hainan's defense is the top priority. As long as Hainan is defended, then the Japanese navy will not be able to arbitrarily attack Guangdong from the sea. Then, the attack and defense of Fujian and Guangdong will become much simpler, at least the staff of the Cadet Army will not have to worry too much about the direction of Guangdong, and can go all out to defend Fujian.
