The first thousand two hundred and thirty-five chapters shrink the battlefield
Both Zhan Sen and Jiang Anhua have a strong sense of gratitude to the mysterious station commanders directly under their control. They were able to jump from the captain level to the current divisional level leaders and were awarded the rank of Army Major General. This is completely
Recommendations and support from the webmaster.
Achievements are not the most important thing, the key is relationships. There are many Military Command Officers who are stuck in the rank of colonel, so not everyone can have the opportunity to enter the rank of general.
If we want to talk about credit, it must be the credit of the station. A few of them benefited from it. Originally, the First and Second Intelligence Offices were just dispatched agencies responsible for supervising the agents of the Mei Agency. As a result, the stalls became bigger and bigger.
The number of personnel increased, and it turned into an outpost agency of the Military Command Bureau spanning four provinces.
Zhan Sen and Jiang Anhua live in Hangzhou and Suzhou. The two places are not far apart. They always try to find a way to see each other twice every year.
Although he is now a major general in the Military Command Bureau, in charge of more than a dozen intelligence groups and action teams in four provinces, and a leader who controls the fate of hundreds of people, none of them dare to raise their tails.
Since this mysterious webmaster has the ability to bring them up, he also has the ability to kick them out. The best way is to be his direct descendant honestly.
"Seeing that this war will be over in another year and a half, the bureau headquarters will definitely reward according to merit. Our station also has two field offices, one in North China and one outside the customs. In total, the station directly under it is the military commander.
The bureau is well-deserved as the number one station, and it is much more powerful than the first district of Shanghai under the military command back then." said the telecommunications section chief.
The Japanese military police's special high-level courses seem to be less crazy than before. The Political Security Bureau is more like an eggplant beaten by frost, with no energy at all. The police of the Wang Puppet Government do not dare to be so tyrannical. The Military Command Bureau is fighting everywhere.
The units were all in a mood to start discussing the post-war situation.
"This man, sometimes he really relies on luck. The North China Intelligence Office and the Foreign Intelligence Office are both field agencies that were established in the later years of our direct station. The two chiefs are old subordinates of me and Jiang Anhua!"
"Just because they restored the local intelligence network for the Military Command Bureau and persisted in fighting behind enemy lines, there was no credit but hard work. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, they had to be promoted to major generals. Look at their luck!" Zhan Sen said with a smile.
May 8th was a very important day. The German government surrendered unconditionally to the Allies! And the American warships on the sea near Okinawa celebrated by firing three artillery shells at the Japanese positions.
However, at 18:40 on May 24, the Japanese army dispatched twelve aircraft to carry out an airborne raid on the airport occupied by the US military in Okinawa. Four aircraft returned or made an emergency landing due to malfunctions. When the four aircraft approached Okinawa,
It was shot down by US anti-aircraft artillery, and all the people on board were killed. Only four of them arrived at their destination at 22:00.
The Japanese transport planes landed at two airports by belly landing. The commandos did not wait for the plane to come to a complete stop before jumping out of the cabin and throwing grenades and incendiary bombs at the planes parked at the airport.
Although the US military acted quickly and eliminated 56 Japanese soldiers on the mission, it also suffered 20 casualties, seven aircraft were destroyed, 26 aircraft were damaged, and more than 70,000 gallons of aviation gasoline were lost.
The fire at Kadena Airport was not extinguished until the 20th of the 26th. It can be said that the loss was staggering!
At the end of May, the two battles launched by the Japanese army ended one after another. The Japanese Twelfth Army basically achieved its expected goals and completed the destruction of Laohekou Airport. However, the Japanese Twelfth Army, which launched an attack to the west of Hunan Province, suffered a disastrous defeat.
And in the end, the battle ended on June 8.
In this battle to attack western Hunan, the Japanese army was killed by more than 15,000 people and injured more than 20,000 people by the Yamacheng government troops. Its main division, the 116th Infantry Division, suffered heavy losses. Since the end of this battle,
, the Japanese army never launched a large-scale campaign again.
In June, the Battle of Okinawa also came to an end. On June 18, Lieutenant General Buckner, commander of the U.S. Army's Tenth Army, came to the front line to supervise the battle. However, the Japanese army's first artillery shell that day actually killed this man.
The Lieutenant General Army Commander was killed in the explosion.
The strange thing is that there has been no shelling in this place for a long time. Lieutenant General Buckner has also become the highest ranking and highest-ranking general in the US military killed in the entire Pacific War.
On June 19, Lieutenant General Ushijima Mitsuru sent a final farewell message to the Tokyo base camp in the cave tunnel numbered 89 of the defensive position at the southern end of the island, and then instructed his men to carry out a final desperate attack.
At four o'clock in the morning on June 23, Lieutenant General Ushijima Mitsuru knew that the US military was about to occupy the tunnel where he was, so he took off his military uniform and put on a kimono, toasted to the staff around him one by one, drank the last parting wine, and then had a caesarean section.
Suicide. His chief of staff followed him and committed suicide by caesarean section, and some officers also committed suicide.
At this point, the organized large-scale resistance by the Japanese army came to an end. Sporadic Japanese resistance continued, and the work of wiping out the remaining Japanese troops continued until the end of June. On July 2, the Battle of Okinawa was officially declared over.
This battle was doomed to fail from the beginning. More than 40,000 Japanese soldiers died, more than 10,000 were captured, about 100,000 island residents died, 783 aircraft were lost, and 16 ships were sunk.
, damaging four ships, the Japanese naval combined fleet basically lost its combat capability and was almost wiped out.
In the Battle of Okinawa, the U.S. military suffered more than 30,000 casualties, lost 763 aircraft, sunk 36 ships, and damaged 368 ships. This is the scale of the U.S. and Japanese battles in the Pacific islands.
The biggest, longest, and heaviest loss. Of course, it was also the last battle.
"Chen Jun, according to the instructions from the base camp, the dispatched army will shrink the battlefield and concentrate its forces. Together with the Southern Army and the Kwantung Army, it will respond to possible attacks by the US military, the Soviet army and the mountain city government. To this end, the dispatched army will make extensive adjustments to its troops.
, shrink the battlefield and withdraw a large number of troops."
"In particular, the Sixth Front Army will withdraw 11 divisions and six brigades from Guangdong, Gan, Hunan, and Guangxi provinces, and most of them will be used as mobile forces in central China. I have received instructions from the General
According to the order of the headquarters, prepare necessary logistical support for a large number of troops." Matsui Tataro said.
This mobilization plan is that after the US military successfully landed on Okinawa, it did not approach the coast of the southeastern coastal areas of China. Based on these circumstances, Okamura Neiji and the staff of the dispatched force headquarters concluded that the coastal defense against the US military landing has lost its value.
, the battlefield area should be reduced, the coastal defense forces in these areas should be gradually withdrawn, and the focus should be focused on the next new situation.
This suggestion was recognized by the Japanese base camp and the request of the dispatched army headquarters was agreed, and a new round of mobilization began.
