Chapter 82
"Your Excellency, air raid, please take shelter immediately."
As Tohi Yuan was discussing with Ishihara how to persuade the retainers and the locusts to surrender to the United States, the two guards rushed in in a panic.
"Air strikes?"
Dohiroka and Ishihara glanced at each other.
It's all been bombed?
But at this moment, there was a dense roar in the sky, and the noise of the huge propellers of fifty transport planes gathered together, like the sound of death, and the sound gradually approached, overwhelming people.
"Let's go."
Tu Feiyuan and Ishihara's complexion changed, and they didn't pack up their things, so they left immediately.
The group hurried to the bomb shelter under the telegraph room.
After all, Tu Feiyuan left the center of power, and now there are only about twenty devils with him, less than half a team, and can only dig a standard air-raid shelter.
There are ventilated, thick bomb shelters that can withstand those giant bombs.
······
in the sky.
"Here's where the high-power radio is."
The navigator said, pointing to the village below.
"Start bombing with the radio as the center."
Huang Quan exhaled.
Following his order, fifty transport planes opened the hatches one by one, and one by one the 'daisy cutters' fell one after another, and a few minutes later, huge clouds of explosions rose from the ground.
The entire Guxue Village was enveloped in white gunsmoke.
Although Ishihara and Dohi Madoka hid in bomb shelters, the newly dug bomb shelters were strong enough to protect against high-explosive bombs, and the cloud bombs were not very destructive to strong underground bunkers.
But quantitative change leads to qualitative change.
Fifty fell at once, and the repeated shock waves caused the passage of the bomb shelter to collapse.
When it collapsed, it also blocked the ventilation duct.
On the second day, the devil rescue team arrived, and on the fourth day, when Ishihara Waner and Tu Feiyuan were dug out, the two had already suffocated to death.
And the death was extremely tragic.
His throat was scratched hard, and his palms were exposed as he tried to dig through the passage. The bomb shelters deep underground block the power of the bombs, but they also cut off the lives of these devils.
·····
The next day.
That is, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the entire base area was immersed in the joy of laughter and laughter, and the troops on duty, all the troops, farms, and construction brigades were on holiday today.
Subcontinent.
"Yesterday there was a massive bombardment of the homeland."
Gangmura shared a message with Yamamoto:
"The enemy flew more than 3,000 bomber sorties and dropped more than 3,000 new bombs, and important cities such as Tokyo and Osaka, as well as surrounding counties and even towns were bombed."
"It's not a big loss."
After being bombed for a long time, the devils have also learned well, and all kinds of important facilities and equipment are hidden underground, so although the scale of this bombing is huge, and the total equivalent is equivalent to nearly 100,000 tons of yellow explosives, the direct loss of actual national strength is not large.
Of course, the indirect losses are huge.
"Li Yunlong, this is a big firework."
Yamamoto sighed deeply, and there was a deep envy in his words.
In comparison, their subcontinent garrison has a tight life, because the waterway is cut off, and only bullets and grenades can be produced here, and even mountain artillery shells are not good, so every shell is careful.
Let's get by.
It's like Li Yunlong.
Even if the target was not bombed, more than 4,000 bombshells were thrown away, just like a firework.
He was even sure in his heart.
Li Yunlong deliberately launched such a large-scale bombing on the day before the Spring Festival, which was in the mentality of setting off fireworks during the Spring Festival, and set off an unprecedented large fireworks on the empire's mainland.
"Ishihara-kun and Tufei Yuanjun's jade is broken."
Gangcun continued.
"General Soil Fat Round."
Yamamoto was silent.
Ishihara is not familiar with him, but he is familiar with the soil, and the two have cooperated many times to deal with Li Yunlong and deal with that Chen Fan, although they have not won once, and they have not even taken advantage of it.
"Did the convoy pass?"
Yamamoto changed the subject.
There are more generals in the empire who have died at the hands of Li Yunlong, and there is no shortage of these two or two.
Li Yunlong deployed heavy artillery, aircraft, torpedo boats, and new weapons in Natuna to cut off the shipping route to the mainland, for which Yamamoto and Gangcun repeatedly organized convoys to try to pass, but so far, they have failed eight times, losing dozens of transport ships and warships.
Ranwen
That's the trickiest question at the moment.
If the shipping lanes are not opened, the local population will not be able to obtain supplies, and they will become a lone army.
Alone will be defeated.
"Contact is lost."
Gangcun also sighed.
"According to naval intelligence."
Gangcun continued:
"The enemy has a new weapon that can be launched from an airplane, similar to a rocket missile, with a range of more than 30 kilometers, and it is very powerful, and it can sink a transport ship with a single shot, and it can also seriously damage a destroyer."
"And it seems to be able to automatically track and hit the target, as if someone is piloting the missile."
"Similar to the Empire's kamikaze squad."
The devil navy had a torpedo, but at that time the secret of the navy, Gangcun obviously did not know, and the Americans left early, this thing was still an experimental product, and it was not rolled out on a large scale.
But the kamikaze appeared very early, although it was also because the Americans left early, but in the face of the 'Zhurong Plan', the kamikaze was used to ram ten bombers, so it also received a certain development.
Although it doesn't work.
"It should be some kind of technology."
Yamamoto shook his head.
Li Yunlong has no shortage of planes, no shortage of fuel and ammunition, what he lacks is pilots, and what he lacks is ground crew, otherwise the fleet of planes that bombed the empire would be five figures, and the bombs dropped would be several times more than now.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to let the pilot control the missile.
"We don't have access to each other's intelligence."
Gangcun shook his head:
"The intelligence services of the empire in the Republic of China have been uprooted."
"What are you going to do with the base camp?"
Yamamoto continued.
The shipping lanes were cut off, and it was the main material passage of the Empire, after all, Natuna cut off the Southeast Asian route, except for the Philippines, the transportation of Southeast Asian supplies was shrouded in the wings of the enemy in Natuna.
It's deadly.
With the current empire still having some strength left, it is impossible to sit idly by.
"I don't know."
Gangcun continued:
"Out of secrecy, the base camp did not tell us about the plans of the Combined Fleet, but asked us to continue the offensive and continue to collect supplies."
"Hmph."
Yamamoto sneered.
He understood what the base camp meant.
A series of intelligence leaks, the intelligence department of the Republic of China was uprooted, and it is normal for the base camp to be so vigilant, but is it useful?
Haven't learned your lesson yet?
"We need to be ready to be self-sufficient."
Yamamoto then shook his head.
"Indeed."
Gangcun also nodded.
Looking forward to the Imperial Combined Fleet opening up the shipping lanes? Looking at this string of defeats, it is impossible to think about it. I'm afraid that if it weren't for the fact that the combined fleet would be completely wiped out in a few months, it would be possible.
"We can hold out for a while."
Gangcun spread out the map:
"The main goal now is to capture the few remaining cities with an industrial base, as well as to cope with the attack of the expeditionary force."
"It's not a problem here."
Yamamoto shook his head unexpectedly:
"The strength of the natives of the subcontinent is insufficient, and the lack of organization and materials will not be able to stop us for long, and as for the expeditionary force, we are still far away."
"I'm more worried about one thing than that."
"I'm afraid the Kwantung Army is in danger of more trouble."
"Indeed."
Gangcun also nodded:
"In the face of Li Yunlong's attack, they can't stop it for long."
The defeat of the Kwantung Army was decided.
Although nominally, the flower of the imperial army still had dozens of divisions and regiments, but after the defeat of Bohai Bay, the main force of the Kwantung Army collapsed, and all heavy weapons were lost, and once the enemy launched an attack, it was bound to be defeated.
The loss of the Kwantung Army and the danger of the peninsula also represented the complete failure of the continental strategy that represented the empire for more than two decades.
"That's not what I'm worried about."
Yamamoto took a deep breath and said in a solemn tone:
"That Twenty-Fifth Army, that Tanaka Ken, and that Yin To's Kotaro."
"Why do you say that?"
Gangcun suddenly became interested.
·····
Meanwhile.
North of Chengde.
"We can get started."
In the headquarters of the 25th Army of the Devil, Tanaka Qin announced in an excited tone.
In front of him were a group of old devils, including Lieutenant General Marukawa Daisuke, Maeda Jili Daizo, and the two brothers Yin to Kotaro, as well as nearly ten division commanders.
Among the commanders of these divisions was the commander of the Fourth Division.
After gaining the personnel power, it took several months for Tanaka to completely control the 25th Army through a series of means, and turned the 25th Army into his own shape.
Meantime.
He also took over Yamamoto's boot camp, deliberately selected rebels to be appointed as officers, and in a closed training camp, openly opposed the empire, opposed the locusts, and repeatedly brainwashed.
In the face of in-depth analysis of the facts, the vast majority of devils have been successfully brainwashed and turned into rebels.
Bushido's elite generation has been lost.
This group of recruits was already forcibly conscripted into the army, and many of them were habitual offenders who had escaped from service, but now some people took the lead, and naturally the crowd was excited, clamoring for the rebuilding of the Great Japanese Empire and fighting for their own interests.
As for the few diehards, they were simply disappeared.
"Tomorrow."
Tanaka Qin says:
"They'll attack, and when the time comes, we'll put up a little resistance and then retreat."
"During this period, the remnants of the army were gathered, and part of them retreated to the north, and part of them retreated south into the peninsula."
