The first thousand two hundred and thirty-six chapters refuse to surrender
Matsui Tataro naturally said these words while drinking at Mara Villa. The purpose of this gathering is very simple. It is to welcome the newly transferred chief of staff, Major General Akio Doi, and at the same time, to promote the promotion of Colonel Ryo Er to major general.
, held a small-scale celebration.
The Second Colonel Sifang Liang not only became the Second Major General Sifang Liang, but also served as the commander of the Central China Military Police Force. His promotion was a great joy for him.
Chen Mingxiang and Major General Akio Doi are relatively familiar with each other. This Japanese major general used to be the head of the Kwantung Army Ice City Secret Service Headquarters. He would receive red envelopes from Chen Mingxiang during every year and festival. The relationship was maintained very well. This is how the net is usually cast.
You know when a big fish will pop out.
According to the dispatched army's new plan, six divisions will be transferred to the Jinling area and under the direct jurisdiction of the dispatched army headquarters, namely the 27th Division and the 40th Division stationed near Yangcheng, and the 1st Division stationed near Shaozhou.
Trinity Division, the 3rd Division, 13th Division and 34th Division stationed in Guangxi Province.
The 47th Division was transferred to the battle order of the 43rd Army in Quancheng, and the 68th Division was independently mixed into the 22nd Brigade and the 88th Brigade, and was transferred to Peiping and placed under the direct control of the North China Front Army Headquarters.
The 58th Division stationed in Guilin, the 116th Division in Shaoyang, and the 64th Division stationed in Tanzhou withdrew to the vicinity of Jiangcheng and were still organized under the Sixth Front Army. The 34th Army in Jiangcheng
The headquarters and directly affiliated troops were transferred to Northern Korea to participate in combat preparations against the Soviet army.
The troops transferred to Shanghai were composed of the 61st Division originally stationed in Jinling, the 69th Division in Yuncheng, Shanxi Province, and the newly arrived 161st Division.
Increase the logistical pressure on the three divisions.
"From February to March, the Kwantung Army formed a total of eight divisions from the 121st Division to the 128th Division, and a total of four independent brigades from the 77th to the 80th Brigade.
There is a brigade, and all of us here are our own people, and I can tell you the truth, the combat effectiveness of these new troops is really worrying!"
"The base camp has transferred back from the Kwantung Army 20,000 kiloliters of domestic aviation gasoline, 30,000 liters of ordinary gasoline, and ammunition for the battle of the thirteen divisions. All the A divisions have been transferred, and there are not many B divisions.
These newly formed divisions and brigades were seriously short of weapons and ammunition. In addition to finding old-fashioned weapons that had been stored in the early years, they also mobilized a large number of them from the local Manchukuo army."
"How can these untrained troops, coupled with inferior weapons, and some security forces without even guns, fight against the powerful Soviet army that has received assistance from the United States and Britain?" Akio Doi shook his head and said.
"What the base camp is considering now is that after the US military occupied Okinawa, they did not continue to attack the mainland, but stopped inexplicably. In addition to continuing to bomb our mainland, neither the navy nor the army showed any signs of dispatch."
"On the one hand, it may be that the 32nd Army led by Lieutenant General Ushijima Mitsuru caused heavy casualties to the US military and required a period of rest. On the other hand, it may be that it is planning to attack the empire together with the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union, plus Yamashiro
Government troops, the situation is very dangerous." Kawamoto Yoshitaro said.
In fact, the U.S. government was frightened by the Battle of Iwo Jima and the Battle of Okinawa. It was really afraid of the Japanese Army's fearless combat power. The casualties were too great. If the attack continued, the outcome might be unbearable for the U.S. government.
In mainland Japan, there are 64 army divisions and 33 brigades. The Kwantung Army and the Northern Korea Army have a total of 31 army divisions and 14 brigades. The dispatched army has 27 army divisions.
, thirty-four brigades and fourteen independent garrison units, the Southern Army has twenty-two divisions, sixteen brigades and an aviation corps.
The key is that there is another important factor, and that is the atomic bomb!
The "Science and Technology Development Agency" of the U.S. government completed the preparations for the theory, raw materials, equipment, and technology of making an atomic bomb. On June 17, the 31st year of the Republic of China, it proposed the construction of an atomic bomb to the then U.S. President Roosevelt.
The factory produced a report and received approval. At the end of June of the 34th year of the Republic of China, the atomic bomb was about to enter the experimental stage.
Throughout July, the Japanese army continued to mobilize and expand its troops. During this period, an important event happened. On July 17, the leaders and foreign ministers of the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union met in Potsdam, southwest of Berlin.
A key meeting was held.
During this meeting, the heads of the three countries discussed the conditions for ending the war against Japan and the guidelines for post-war disposal of Japan, and passed a resolution signed by representatives of the United States, Britain and China, which was announced on the 26th, that is,
"Potsdam Declaration".
Its main content is that the Allies' war against Japan will continue until Japan completely stops resistance, urging the Japanese government to surrender immediately. The announcement also stipulates the conditions for the Allies to accept Japan's surrender.
On July 27, Japanese Prime Minister Kantaro Suzuki held a cabinet meeting. Naturally, this announcement was strongly resisted by the communists, who were determined to fight the Allies to the end and ignored the announcement.
On the 29th, Prime Minister Kantaro Suzuki issued a statement on behalf of the Japanese government, refusing to surrender.
But the Japanese government did not know that at 5:30 a.m. on July 15, at the Alamos Atomic Test Base in northern New Mexico, the U.S. military conducted a ground test of an atomic bomb and succeeded.
On July 16, U.S. President Truman, who attended the Potsdam International Summit, received domestic reports of successful atomic bomb tests and agreed to use atomic bombs to bomb Japan's Shinkansen after the end of the conference, that is, after August 3.
, Hiroshima, Kokura, and Nagasaki are the four alternative cities.
Part of the atomic bomb that the United States will assemble at the Alamos test base was first transported by plane to San Francisco, and then transported by cruiser to Tinian Island in the Mariana Islands, where it arrived on July 26. Other components were delivered by transport aircraft.
