In the deathly quiet war room, everyone's eyes were focused on Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, waiting for Tojo's decision.ishu.
Looking at the combat sandbox that displayed the entire topography of North Korea, and at the same time, marked the specific strength and strength of the troops stationed in various places. Tojo Hideki said in a deep voice: "Since the loss of the defense line along the Yalu River is inevitable. And with the local troops stationed in North Korea, if
A decisive battle with the Chinese *** is tantamount to death. So, what we can do is to rely on the existing forces of the North Korean Governor-General's Palace and the mountainous terrain of North Korea to slow down the attack speed of the Chinese *** as much as possible...
"
"Ha Yi, your Excellency the Prime Minister is wise... However, even so, with hundreds of thousands of new soldiers, our North Korean garrison cannot hold on for too long. Therefore, I thought that in order to ensure that North Korea would not be lost, we would ensure that the last resource of our Japanese Empire was
To ensure the safety of the land, we must immediately organize a group of reinforcements and rush to North Korea..." the lieutenant general's deputy chief of staff said with a gloomy look.
"In this case, immediately send a telegram to the North Korean Governor-General to recruit 50,000 new recruits based on the overseas residents in North Korea..." After a quick calculation of the total population of North Korean overseas residents, Tojo Hideki based on the maximum possible recruitment ratio,
He ordered with a serious look on his face.
"Hayi..."
However, just as he finished speaking, another telegram from the North Korean Governor-General's Office appeared in the hands of Lieutenant General and Deputy Chief of Staff Fujita.
After quickly glancing at the contents of the telegram, Lieutenant General Fujita's face, which had just relaxed, turned pale again. Under the gaze of Hideki Tojo, he spoke directly.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, it seems that even if we immediately recruit 50,000 new soldiers, we will not be able to stop the Chinese Army's offensive..."
"Nani?"
"This is the urgent telegram just sent by the North Korean Governor-General..."
It turned out that since the Northeast Field Army's offensive began, the Japanese intelligence department took quick action. Under the condition of exposing the entire Northeastern intelligence network, Japanese intelligence personnel finally figured out the specific troop deployment of the Northeast Field Army and the specific force size of the attack on North Korea.
It was received and sent to the Governor-General's Office of North Korea at the same time.
After learning that the Chinese ** team had assembled a total of 300,000 troops, more than 1,500 artillery pieces, and more than 100 fighter planes of various types to launch an attack on the Japanese army in Korea, Tojo Hideki, who had always remained calm-faced.
They had to be moved because the strength of these armies was several times greater than that of the Korean and Japanese armies. Especially in terms of heavy weapons, there was no comparison at all.
Looking at the huge gap between the two armies, Tojo Hideki, who had never despaired before, felt fear and fear for the first time. At this moment, Tojo Hideki, who was already a little confused, faced directly in front of him.
Lieutenant General Fujita asked.
"Fujita-kun, in the face of China's offensive of 300,000 troops, how many more troops do our North Korean garrison need if we want to protect this colony?"
"With the help of North Korea's mountainous terrain, we can completely avoid the artillery superiority of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. Therefore, as long as we have the same strength as the Chinese offensive forces, it is possible for us to use the guerrilla warfare that the Chinese People's Liberation Army once used.
Completely drag the Chinese offensive troops on the Korean battlefield..." Lieutenant General Fujita replied solemnly.
"With the same strength, that is to say, including the 50,000 new soldiers that will be recruited, we are still short of 100,000 people..." Tojo Hideki asked rhetorically.
"Ha Yi, based on calculations based on the total population of Korean residents in the Empire of Japan, the recruitment of 50,000 recruits has reached the limit of Korean residents. Therefore, the remaining 100,000 people must be mobilized from within the country..." Lieutenant General Fujita affirmed.
replied.
However, when the word "domestic" was mentioned, Lieutenant General Fujita's face immediately flashed a bitter expression. Because, at this moment in Japan, with the resurgence of the rebel army, a large number of government troops are carrying out encirclement and suppression operations.
Failure, once again became turbulent.
As a qualified staff officer, all he needs to do is report the latest situation to the commander-in-chief verbatim, so that the commander-in-chief can make the most appropriate decision. Seeing Hideki Tojo's heavy face, Lieutenant General Fujita continued to speak.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, according to the latest intelligence sent from various places, after several months of encirclement and suppression by our government forces, the rebel army has almost disappeared. For unknown reasons, it has resurrected in a short period of time. The latest battle report shows that less than half of the rebel army has almost disappeared.
In a matter of months, the total number of troops lost by our government forces to the rebels has reached more than 8,000. And the scale of the rebels is like a snowball, growing stronger and stronger, reaching an astonishing number of more than 10,000... So,
Regarding the matter of mobilizing troops from the country, I hope that the Prime Minister can carefully consider it. After all, for the victory in the Pacific battlefield, there are not many mobile troops that can be mobilized in the country..."
The loss of more than 8,000 government troops was nothing to the previous Japanese government. However, for Hideki Tojo, whose troops were already stretched thin at this moment, it was tantamount to cutting a piece of flesh from his own body.
pain.
Hideki Tojo, whose mind was already in chaos, asked Lieutenant General Fujita in front of him while silently calculating the remaining forces at hand.
"To deal with these rebels in a short period of time, we need to mobilize at least how many government troops..."
"According to the current combat effectiveness of the rebel army, coupled with the geographical advantages they have, they need at least 50,000 troops. More importantly, these 50,000 troops are still the current demand. I am worried that over time, the rebel army will
The scale will become even larger. By then, maybe a hundred thousand government troops will not be able to do anything to them..." Lieutenant General Fujita said.
Hearing Lieutenant General Fujita's answer, Tojo Hideki's face became even more ugly. However, as the Prime Minister, he calmed down immediately and said solemnly: "Sato-kun, North Korea is my great country."
We must protect the source of the empire's resources. For the long-term stability of the Japanese Empire, we must also eliminate the more than 10,000 rebels..."
"But, Your Excellency, Prime Minister, we simply don't have that much mobile force to mobilize..." Lieutenant General Fujita replied with a look of embarrassment.
"No, we have..." Tojo Hideki replied affirmatively.
At this moment, Lieutenant General Fujita suddenly thought of the 100,000 new soldiers that the military had just recruited and were about to send to the Pacific battlefield. Just as he was about to say something, Hideki Tojo, as the Prime Minister, looked determined.
commanded.
"Immediately give an order to the military: I don't care what method they use to recruit the 100,000 new soldiers who have just been recruited. They must be put into the Korean battlefield within three days and handed over to the North Korean Governor-General for command. At the same time, the military once again issued a nationwide recruitment order.
Mobilization order, continue to recruit 100,000 troops from the country to join the Pacific battlefield. The General Staff will immediately deploy military operations to encircle and suppress the domestic rebels. Within half a month, within half a month, I must see the rebels completely disappear from the country..."
In order to win the Pacific battlefield, when the limited domestic soldiers have been exhausted, a large number of underage students and skilled workers have to be ordered to enlist in the army. Among the 100,000 recruits just recruited, there are more than 30,000 childish ones.
An underage student who is still naked and has just put down his books...
When students are forced to take up arms and fight, it is conceivable to what extent this country’s young adults have been lost. Coupled with various anti-war voices in the country, Lieutenant General Fujita can imagine that the new
After the conscription order is issued, what a bad impact it will have on the entire country.
However, seeing Hideki Tojo's firm face, Lieutenant General Fujita still closed his mouth as he wanted to say something. After sighing rogue, he assured with a solemn expression: "Please rest assured, Prime Minister."
, everyone in the humble post and staff headquarters will definitely live up to expectations and complete the mission..."
Lieutenant General Fujita was not wrong. At this time, the anti-war wave in Japan had reached a point where it could not be eliminated. The conflict between the government and the people was also likely to break out at any time because of this Pacific War, which was like a meat grinder.
.Once the recruitment order for 100,000 new soldiers is issued, this kind of contradiction will undoubtedly erupt directly.
At that time, the entire Japan will once again fall into turmoil. And the dozens of rebels controlled by the Chinese Expeditionary Force's advance team will become the direct beneficiaries of this turmoil.
The influence of the Japanese government among the people is getting smaller and smaller, and the size of the rebel army is getting bigger and bigger like a snowball, and it is getting more and more support from ordinary Japanese people... It is conceivable that this kind of ebb and flow change will give
What kind of negative consequences will a turbulent Japan bring, and how much benefits will it bring to the entire Chinese Expeditionary Force.
As for the North Korean garrison that had been attacked by the Northeast Field Army at this moment, Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, including Deputy Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Fujita, all overestimated the combat effectiveness of their troops.
If it were on the Japanese mainland and had the support of the people, the Japanese army with the same strength could indeed use guerrilla warfare to completely drag the 300,000 Northeastern Army elites on the Korean battlefield with the help of North Korea's favorable terrain. In the end, they were forced into guerrilla warfare.
The Chinese ** team had to take the initiative to withdraw its troops.
And now, this battle is taking place in Korea. After decades of rule, coupled with the bloody exploitation by the Japanese Governor-General in recent years, the Korean people hate the Japanese army as much as anyone else. They just suffer from the lack of a real
The leader just leads everyone to resist.
It is conceivable that after the news of the Japanese army sending troops to North Korea was thoroughly spread, these Korean people would not only not help the Japanese army, but would also help the Chinese army...
Without popular support, all guerrilla warfare is just empty talk.
