Chapter 1033 Opportunities for the Chinese Expeditionary Force
There are only a handful of field divisions in Japan, and it is no surprise that they are the key surveillance targets of the Chinese intelligence agencies. The rapid mobilization of the two field divisions around Tokyo, even if the entire operation was carried out at night, did not hide.
Through the eyes of Chinese intelligence agencies….
Just when the two divisions had just left their bases and defense lines and rushed to their own battlefields, an encrypted message had already crossed the East China Sea and reached the China Central Intelligence Headquarters...
In the headquarters of the Chinese Expeditionary Force in Shanghai, at the same time that the Japanese Army Staff received the report on the Korean War, Mr. Liu, the second commander of the expeditionary force, also immediately sent the specific progress of the Northeast Field Army to Liu Hua...
Looking at the good news in his hand, Zuo Quan, the former Chief of Staff of the Northeast Field Army, his face was immediately covered with a smile, and he said very relaxedly: "Commander-in-Chief, it seems that the central government handed over hundreds of thousands of troops of the Northeast Field Army to
Mr. Liu indeed has the best choice in his hands. Look, in less than two years, the combat effectiveness of the Northeast Field Army has become so strong..."
"The two-day offensive not only broke through the Japanese defense line along the Yalu River, which was known as an iron wall, but also quickly broke through more than 100 kilometers into the interior of North Korea. More importantly, almost 100,000 Korean Japanese troops were eliminated and captured. You know, the entire
The Japanese troops stationed in Korea only had less than 200,000 troops left after all the attacks were completed. And in less than two days of fighting, Mr. Liu had eaten half of the remaining troops... This was something I never dared to think about before..."
Regarding Zuo Quan's emotion, Liu Hua nodded in agreement. Then he said with confidence.
"The progress of the Northeast Field Army is indeed very huge. I think it won't take long for our Northeast Field Army's 300,000 elite troops to sweep across the entire North Korea and completely eliminate the remaining more than 100,000 Japanese troops stationed in North Korea..."
Regarding Liu Hua's prediction, Zuo Quan nodded noncommittally. However, at this moment, the anxious figure of the communications staff officer of the headquarters suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, Chief of Staff, a piece of Japanese local intelligence just forwarded by the Central Intelligence Department..."
"Um?" Zuo Quan quickly took it and started browsing quickly.
A minute later, Zuo Quan, who had been confident just now, showed a helpless smile on his face. Then, he spoke to Liu Hua in front of him.
"Commander-in-Chief, it seems that the prediction we just made cannot be realized in a short period of time. In order to save the defeat on the Korean battlefield, the Japanese government has made the decision to 'reinforce the Korean garrison with 100,000 new soldiers who are going to be deployed in the Pacific battlefield.' According to intelligence
It shows that these 100,000 recruits will all be deployed on the Korean battlefield within two days at the latest..."
"Have you notified Mr. Liu of this news..." Liu Hua couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and quickly asked...
"The central government has notified in advance. Mr. Liu's call showed that the Northeast Field Army will not conduct a large-scale offensive for the next two days. It is mainly responsible for hoarding various oils and ammunition that the troops urgently need. Two days later, the 100,000 new soldiers sent by the Japanese government will fully enter the battlefield.
Later, we will launch a new round of offensive and through a decisive battle, we will eliminate the main force of the Japanese army on the Korean battlefield in one fell swoop..." Zuo Quan introduced.
"Mr. Liu's appetite is really not that big. However, in order to deal with the complex terrain in North Korea, a decisive battle seems to be the best option at the moment. After all, we have a military advantage and firepower that the Japanese garrison cannot catch up with."
Advantages..." Hearing that Mr. Liu had made specific arrangements, Liu Hua's frown immediately relaxed and he continued to ask with a relaxed expression.
"Chief of Staff, is there any other valuable information..."
"Of course there is, and it's all good news..." Zuo Quan smiled, nodded, and responded.
"The advance team we sent in advance brought us another piece of good news..."
"A few days ago, the Japanese government organized a new round of encirclement and suppression operations. Under the counterattack of my advance team, not only did it not achieve any results, but it also lost troops. And our old enemy, Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, did not know
Was it out of anger or other reasons that he made the decision to ‘not give up until the rebels and bandits in the country are eliminated’…”
"Um...Although I have never been to Japan, I know that Japan is a mountainous country. With such a good terrain, I believe that with the rich combat experience, especially guerrilla warfare experience, of the 500 advance team members,
Japan's local government forces alone can't do anything to them. Unless our old rival Hideki Tojo plans to change generals..." Liu Hua asked with a smile on his face.
"Commander-in-Chief, you are indeed right. Tojo Hideki did abandon the local government troops that had suffered heavy losses and had little combat effectiveness. In order to determine the outcome in the so-called First World War, they directly removed them from the only remaining field troops in the mainland.
Two divisions." Zuo Quan replied with emotion on his face.
"You said that Tojo Hideki used the few field divisions he had in order to suppress the bandits..."
"Wait a minute, as far as I know, the few remaining field divisions in Japan are all deployed on the coastal defense line. If he transfers two, doesn't it mean that Japan's impregnable coastal defense line has already developed loopholes..."
While Liu Hua was shocked, he immediately discovered the value hidden in this information and quickly asked.
"Chief of Staff, where are the two field divisions that Hideki Tojo transferred... Let's go to the war room and talk..."
In the huge war room, Japan's local terrain, including the eastern coastal mainland of China, was clearly displayed on the huge combat sand table. As soon as the two people walked to the edge of the sand table, Chief of Staff Zuo Quan pointed to the location on the sand table that represented the Japanese capital Tokyo.
, he opened his mouth and introduced.
"The two field divisions defending Tokyo Bay were transferred away by Tojo Hideki... However, even so, the Japanese Army's most elite Guards Division is still stationed in the entire Tokyo Bay area..."
"No, Chief of Staff, you are wrong. Although the Japanese Guards Division is stationed in the entire Tokyo Bay, you must not forget that the main defense mission of the Japanese Guards Division is Tokyo City and the Imperial Palace of the Emperor of Japan..."
Liu Hua firmly rejected it.
At the same time, a bold idea jumped out of Liu Hua's mind by using the huge value hidden in the intelligence.
Facing his old partner Zuo Quan who was thoughtful in front of him, he asked directly.
"Chief of Staff, if we order the intelligence department to artificially create a few unrests in Tokyo, the capital of Japan, at this time, or even let civil strife break out in Tokyo again, what kind of deployment of the troops of this Guards Division will happen?
?”
"As the capital is located, and Emperor Hirohito is in the city, the Japanese government will certainly not allow riots. As long as nothing unexpected happens, the Japanese government will definitely dispatch the Guards Division to the city to maintain security in the capital..." Zuo Quan affirmed.
replied.
"If this is the case, an undefended and empty Tokyo Bay will be completely exposed in front of us... Chief of Staff, Tojo Hideki has provided us with such a good opportunity, and our expeditionary force must seize it.
...." Liu Hua immediately showed a strange smile on his face and said.
"Commander-in-Chief, what you mean is that the expeditionary force will directly enter Tokyo Bay and land in Tokyo, the capital of Japan..." Zuo Quan was shocked and asked with a look of astonishment on his face.
However, after carefully thinking about the feasibility of the entire plan, Zuo Quan had to admit that the direct landing of the expeditionary force in Tokyo was indeed an unprecedented move...
Then, he answered directly and affirmatively: "Taking advantage of the favorable opportunity when Japan's Tokyo Bay defense is empty, launch a landing operation with lightning speed. As long as no accidents occur, unexpected results will be achieved..."
"That's for sure. This is an opportunity that Hideki Tojo brought to us. It is also a rare opportunity for our expeditionary force. We must seize it..." Liu Hua said with confidence.
However, when talking about real military operations, his face was immediately shrouded in seriousness. He spoke directly to Zuo Quan in front of him.
"Now that the decision has been made, we must start the layout from now on. Order: All participating troops, using the cover of night, begin to assemble immediately and be ready to attack. Once the order is issued, all participating troops and equipment must
All must be boarded within forty-eight hours.
Second, the first combat order was issued to the advance team through the Central Intelligence Department. From now on, all the rebel troops controlled by our advance team will drag the two field divisions dispatched by the Japanese government on the battlefield at all costs.
above.
Third, an order was issued to intelligence personnel distributed in Tokyo through the Central Intelligence Department. Within three days, chaos was created at all costs in Tokyo City. The Japanese Guards Division was forced to abandon the coastal defense line and directly enter Tokyo City to maintain public security.
Fourth, send a telegram to Mr. Liu in the Northeast. The decisive battle in two days' time must be fierce and fierce, completely attracting the attention of all senior officials in Japan...
Okay, those are the four for now. Also, don’t forget to submit our proposal for a decisive battle to the Central Military Commission and ask the Chairman for approval..."
"Commander-in-Chief, I will never forget it. I will go and issue combat orders to all the ministries..." An unprecedented battle is about to begin. As one of the commanders of this battle, Zuo Quan's face has already been shrouded in excitement and anticipation.
As soon as Liu Hua finished speaking, Chief of Staff Zuo Quan answered confidently.
"Okay, let's work together to sweep across the Japanese mainland. We will return all the shame of the Sino-Japanese War that the little devils gave us..." Liu Hua also said with a proud face.
In this way, an unprecedented decisive battle is about to begin because of Tojo Hideki's order.
