On the other side, the troops in the Chinese Taiwan Theater who landed from Osaka had a much harder time.
After all, the Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe, and Nara regions are one of the most important economic circles in Japan and one of the political centers second only to Tokyo. Once the Osaka region falls, the entire Japan will be cut off by China, divided from east to west, and then
The territory here is vast, unlike Kyushu Island, which only has more than 30,000 square kilometers. In such a big place, there is no place for the Japanese to hide.
After successfully landing from Osaka, the Taiwan theater led by Long Xiaoyun suffered a crazy attack from the Japanese. The Japanese even assembled an army of more than one million and besieged the Chinese troops from three directions in an attempt to annihilate China or
rushed to the sea, but were repelled by China's air superiority and fleet fire support.
However, the Taiwan Theater also paid a heavy price. At least three divisions were deactivated because all their members were killed, five divisions were completely crippled and had to withdraw from the battle, and more than half of the 200,000 troops who landed suffered casualties.
The price paid by the Japanese was even greater. The Osaka area suffered continuous bombings and was completely reduced to ruins. This world-famous city completely became a historical term in the war. The fifty attacking Japanese divisions were defeated by more than 100 people.
Twenty, plus a large number of civilian casualties, the Japanese casualties in the Battle of Osaka were estimated to exceed one million.
However, the Japanese thought it was worth it. At least they had defended the Osaka area. Although the troops suffered heavy casualties, those who survived had experienced the war and transformed into elites. Moreover, when the war reached this point, they had nothing to lose.
The shortage means there is no shortage of people.
When the remains of the fallen soldiers were transported to Taiwan, the entire Taiwan fell into riots, and hatred had been completely provoked.
