Emperor Hirohito's Dilemma
The entire campaign ended successfully after a month of continuous fighting. "" netizens hand-pictured the joint operations of the East China Field Army and the New Fourth Army, with a total of more than 600,000 troops. After paying a heavy price of more than 60,000 people, they successfully annihilated or
Captured 130,000 Japanese troops in the Lianghu area. As for the remaining more than 200,000 Japanese troops, no surprise, they were surrounded by the remaining troops of the East China Field Army in three towns of Wuhan, Changsha, Xiangyang, Changde, Hengyang... several cities like turtle shells
Inside, unable to move...
"Commander-in-Chief, this is the statistics just calculated by the General Staff. If the troops are given a week to rest and replenish, our East China Field Army can deploy at least two combat corps and one guard column, totaling 250,000 troops to participate in the next battle.
Action..." Zuo Quan, chief of staff at the East China Field Army Headquarters in Nanjing, replied with a serious face.
"With 250,000 people, there is absolutely no problem with the Japanese army sweeping across the entire southeast. How about it? Did the central government call back? Do they agree with our plan and cooperate with us to put on a big show for the whole world..." Liu
Hua asked in a deep voice.
"The chairman personally responded to the telegram. Although the training of the Eighth Route Army and the Northeast Field Army has not been completed, it is still possible to pull them out to fight in the field with the little devils and train troops. As long as our East China Field Army and the New Fourth Army start taking action, the Eighth Route Army and the Northeast Field Army will be in a hurry
Subsequently, a counterattack was launched... In addition, the chairman also asked me to tell you that we can do it with confidence and boldness, as long as it is beneficial to the entire Chinese nation and beneficial to the military development of the entire China. The chairman himself, including the commander-in-chief, Vice Chairman Zhou,
All the leaders within the company will support us unconditionally..." Having said this, Chief of Staff Zuo Quan showed an excited smile on his face.
After all, as the chief of staff, she had always been thinking about how to drive little Japan out of China and bring peace and stability to the Chinese people. But now, she actually followed the commander and relied on the hundreds of thousands of troops in her hands.
Seizing the opportunity of the world war to engage in an unprecedented great game with the Western powers, Zuo Quan could not help but feel excited and excited...
"Okay, in this case, according to the original plan, we will start taking action in a week. We will strive to compress all the remaining 600,000 Japanese invaders into these large and medium-sized cities within a month, and let them completely
Lose your freedom..." Liu Hua ordered with confidence.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..."
A month passed in a blink of an eye. At this moment, the Eighth Route Army, East China Field Army, Northeast Field Army, New Fourth Army, and even the remnants of the newly reorganized Kuomintang army led by him had already become an elite force after being trained in the flames of war.
Looking back at the remaining 600,000 remnants of the entire Japanese army that invaded China. Although these troops are all elite troops that can rank among the best in the Japanese army. However, at this moment, they are like a team of ducks that have been defeated in a fight.
Generally speaking, being surrounded by squadrons in the few remaining large and medium-sized cities, losing space for free movement, indirectly becomes fat meat in the hands of squadrons that can be eaten at any time...
On the battlefield in China, the squadron he led, in just one month, besieged hundreds of thousands of elite Japanese troops in dozens of large and medium-sized cities, turning them into turtles in a jar... This huge result can be said to be,
It greatly stimulated the Allied troops on various battlefields.
Ever since, with the arrival of Liu Hua, local counterattacks one after another that had never been seen in World War II began to appear on various battlefields around the world. The pressure on Japan, Germany and other countries in the ranks of fascism
, also increased dramatically. As a result, a huge problem was placed in front of Japan's top brass and its military.
With the continuous counterattacks from the British and American coalition forces on the Pacific battlefield, the Japanese troops dispatched troops southward. After bloody battles, they temporarily stabilized their retreat and defended the islands they had worked so hard to occupy. However, the entire southward dispatched troops, including the entire coalition,
The fleet paid a very heavy price...
The other side of the war, the Allied Team, lost a large part of their counterattack, although they also suffered a loss of troops. However, they knew the current situation of their opponents, and they were not discouraged at all. Because they already knew that their opponents had reached the point where they had no troops left.
As long as we can gather enough strength in a short period of time to launch a new counterattack, then the entire Pacific battlefield will definitely end with the victory of the Allies.
As a result, a large amount of materials and troops began to be continuously transported from the United States to the Pacific battlefield under the escort of warships. When the Japanese dispatched troops southward, they saw that the Allied forces were approaching. In order to avoid the entire dispatched troops southward,
The entire army was wiped out, and one telegram after another began to reach Japan via radio waves.
Faced with the telegram requesting reinforcements from troops dispatched south, Japan's top brass, including the entire military, were also very anxious.
The losses of the combined fleet can be replenished in the shortest possible time by relying on the developed domestic shipbuilding industry. However, the losses of army soldiers are not so easy to replenish.
After several years of war attrition on the Chinese battlefield, coupled with the attrition and garrisons in the Pacific battlefield, Nanyang battlefield and other places, after several expansions of the entire army, the domestic supply of troops that can still be recruited can be said to be close to exhaustion.
Even if the army's recruitment scope is now expanded, it may be possible to recruit dozens of divisions of recruits in an extreme time and send them to the Pacific battlefield. However, everyone knows that letting these dozens of divisions of recruits without any training enter the Pacific battlefield
, facing the well-trained Allied forces and advanced weapons and equipment, not only will they not be able to gain any advantage, but they will become military exploits in the hands of the Allied forces...
Ever since, where to mobilize the elite troops to go south to the Pacific has become the biggest problem facing the Japanese military.
Looking at the entire battlefield, the Japanese military headquarters, including the entire senior leadership, finally set their sights on the Chinese battlefield.
As a result, an imperial meeting related to the new strategic goals of the Japanese army was held at the personal proposal of Emperor Hirohito...
However, as soon as the entire meeting started, it was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
A group of officers with a certain strategic vision, headed by the General Staff Headquarters and the Navy Commander, undoubtedly agreed and supported the transfer of heavy troops from the Chinese battlefield to the Pacific battlefield to ensure Japan's control of the entire Pacific region.
However, the conservative top brass of the Japanese military, headed by the Prime Minister and a group of senior veterans, are firmly opposed to the transfer of troops from China.
Judging from the latest battle reports, the total strength of the Japanese invaders in China is only 600,000. If 300,000 elite troops are mobilized, there will only be 300,000 left-behind troops. 300,000 left-behind troops,
Facing China's more than one million elite soldiers who had just completed their consultation and demonstrated strong combat effectiveness, it was tantamount to letting them fall into the tiger's mouth and hand over to the squadron more than half of China that the Japanese Empire had paid a huge price for.
This is simply impossible to accept for these elders who have always hoped to occupy the entire China and rule Asia. What's more, it is even more unacceptable for the Japanese Empire to give up the land that it spent a huge price to obtain.
An impossible thing….
Seeing the imperial court in front of him, which looked like a vegetable market, and then looking at the ministers on the left and right, who were blushing and quarreling with each other, Emperor Hirohito's face could be said to be extremely gloomy.
He slapped the table in front of him hard, and when the whole hall fell into silence, Emperor Hirohito's slightly angry voice began to sound in the hall.
"Bageya Road, shut up. This is the Imperial Council, not the vegetable market where you are arguing. In addition, what I want is your specific solution, not such an endless quarrel... Do you think that if we continue to argue like this, you will
Can it change the situation on the entire Pacific battlefield..."
Emperor Hirohito's words were like a resounding slap in the face, causing all the red-faced ministers to unconsciously lower their heads. Seeing that his subordinates had relented, Emperor Hirohito directly questioned the cabinet minister who had the strongest opposition.
"Tojo-kun, since you are opposed to the deployment of troops from China, where else do you think the empire can mobilize at least 300,000 elite troops in a short period of time to go to the Pacific battlefield..."
"His Majesty the Emperor..." Facing Emperor Hirohito's question, Tojo Hideki's face suddenly turned red, but there was nothing he could do. After a brief reflection, he said to Emperor Hirohito helplessly.
.
"Please forgive me for your sins, Your Majesty the Emperor, I have no choice..."
"Baga, since there is no other way, why do you still oppose the proposal of the General Staff Headquarters? Do you want to watch the combined fleet and the dispatched troops southward, under the joint attack of the alliance, the entire army is destroyed and buried in the Pacific Ocean?
Really..." Seeing the frustrated-looking cabinet minister in front of him, Emperor Hirohito cursed angrily.
"Please make atonement for your Majesty the Emperor. I have no intention of doing so. Please calm down your Majesty..." Faced with the big hat that Emperor Hirohito had put down, Tojo Hideki, as the spokesperson of all the elders, can be said to be in trouble.
I could only kneel on the ground sweating profusely and say nothing...
After letting out a long sigh, Emperor Hirohito looked helpless and quickly turned his attention to the Chief of Staff, hoping that the Chief of Staff could come up with a good solution for him...
