Beiyang reactionaries

"Tell me about the specific situation."

Suzuki Kantaro was very tired and pinched his forehead.

After all, Suzuki Kantaro is very old. It is really not easy to deal with so many complicated things when he comes out of the mountain to serve as the prime minister of the cabinet at this age.He has to listen to a lot of reports every day, which makes him dizzy.Of course, what worries him even more is that the Japanese military has been clamoring for a decisive battle with China, the United States and Britain.In their view, Japan is still able to fight, and it is impossible to see such an unfavorable situation at present.And they're not just talking about it, they're actually doing it.Mobilize those students in the country and let them carry guns to complete their "local decisive battle" plan.

Except for those military leaders, although the Japanese emperor had thought about ending the war before, he had been hesitant.

Especially under the relatively harsh conditions in China, the Japanese emperor couldn't make up his mind.He wanted to end the current war, but he didn't want to accept such an embarrassing condition.Compared with when Suzuki Kantaro first became prime minister, the situation is more critical now.As long as the war is not over for a day, Japan will continue to be hit.

It was really not easy for Suzuki Kantaro to appease the military while convincing the emperor.

The U.S. military launched the Philippine Campaign. Although the Japanese army resisted tenaciously in the Philippines, the casualties rose sharply in the face of the heavily armed U.S. troops.The U.S. military is investing more and more troops, and the offensive is becoming more and more fierce.More importantly, the Philippines has become an isolated island, and the Japanese army in the Philippines has no support from other places.

People starved to death and epidemics spread, all seriously affecting the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army.

At the same time, Chinese troops began to attack Indonesia.Indonesia is not in the core defense circle of the Japanese army, so the number of Japanese troops in Indonesia is not large.Although China does not have much experience in landing operations, the Jakarta landing operations are still very successful.

Of course, this is mainly due to the strength of the Chinese navy and the support of the Sumatra Air Force.The distance from Palembang to Jakarta is not far, completely within the bombing range of Chinese bombers.

In order to land, the Chinese army used about 1500 combat aircraft to cover the landing of the troops.

1944年9月9日，中国军队当天就有3万人登陆雅加达。到了9月12日，四天之内有27万中国军队登陆。随着在雅加达登陆的中国军队越来越多，印尼共和国政府在1944年9月16日宣布断绝和日本的外交关系，跟随中国对日本宣战。

At this time, in the whole of Asia, Japan has only one ally, the Philippines.

Of course, the actions of the Chinese army are not just that.The Chinese Air Force began to bomb the Japanese airfields in Taiwan and Okinawa.China, like the United States, is a top industrial power.China has prepared for many years, and the most indispensable thing is combat aircraft.

Even after the declaration of war, the speed of China's production of aircraft increased rapidly.

中国1944年上半年生产了5万架飞机，而后半年仅仅三个月时间，中国就生产了4.4万架飞机。1944年中国生产的飞机数量超过10万架已经是板上钉钉的事情。东南军区的空军部队参与了这一次的轰炸行动。

China is preparing to completely paralyze the Japanese air forces in Taiwan and the Ryukyu Islands.

These news really made the Japanese army very uncomfortable.So Suzuki Kantaro accelerated the pace of persuading the emperor, but the Japanese emperor has been hesitant.The main reason is to hesitate China's proposal to change Japan's political system.

Depriving the power of many emperors made it difficult for the emperor of Japan to accept.After all, the current Japanese emperor is in power, but according to China's intention, the power of the cabinet must be strengthened and the emperor's power should be deprived.

Under such circumstances, the emperor would of course hesitate.

But the time came on September 1944, 9. On this day, a large number of bombers suddenly bombed major industrial cities in Japan.The targets are all factories in Japan.In fact, Japan is used to this kind of bombing.

After all, the United States has been bombing Japanese cities non-stop for the past two months.

Normally, there are more than 300 planes each time, and sometimes it is 400 planes.However, after Japan refused to negotiate with the United States alone some time ago, the United States bombed with around 500 and 600 aircraft for several days.

The lethality is amazing.

Because the United States has been using incendiary bombs at this time, and the Japanese cities hit have no power to fight back.Incendiary bombs are definitely the most suitable weapon for bombing Japanese cities, and the effect on Japanese cities is very obvious.The result was that large numbers of Japanese urbanites fled the establishment and took refuge in the countryside.

So Japan got used to this kind of bombing.

But this day is completely different.First of all, the scale far exceeds that of the U.S. aviation force, and the number of aircraft dispatched is in units of thousands.And this time the bombing lasted very long.

The U.S. military basically bombs once a day, choosing a city to bomb, and the bombing time is about two to three hours.There are mainly about 300 planes dispatched at one time, and at most it is only about 600 planes.But this time it's completely different.

The bombing started in the morning and continued until about four o'clock in the afternoon, which took 9 hours.And batch after batch of planes came over without stopping at all.And the target is obvious, which is to target Japan's industrial areas and Japanese shipyards.

Another difference is that this bombing did not use incendiary bombs, but conventional aerial bombs.However, the aerial bombs dropped this time were all powerful bombs.A bomb weighs one ton or two tons, and it belongs to that kind of super bomb.Throw one down, and the explosion effect is amazing.

After 9 hours, 1.7 tons of bombs were dropped on Japan in one day.

A sensation throughout Japan.

Because of the major industrial cities in Japan, there are bombers throughout the day.It is precisely because it is completely different from the US bombing that Kantaro Suzuki wants to know where the troops are from?Of course, he almost already had a suspect in his mind.

In the current Far East, there is only one country capable of bombing so many cities in one day, and for 9 hours non-stop.Sure enough, it was reported that it was the Chinese Air Force.

"Their target is very clear, which is our industrial city. China is very familiar with our country's industrial cities, and is also very clear about the distribution of our country's factories. The targets of their bombing are all important arsenals or important supporting factories in our country. Although there are some problems with the accuracy of the bombing, such high-intensity intensive bombing still brought a huge blow to our country's industry. According to our preliminary calculations, more than 6000 aircraft participated in the bombing in one day today. According to the direction of their flight Analysis, we identified several directions."

"There are some flying from the north. We analyze that it is the airports on Sakhalin Island and the Thousand Islands, as well as the aircraft carriers of China in that area. There are a lot of them, but not many. It is estimated that there will be no more than 400 or more. "

Ananwei pointed at the map.

Then said: "The number of planes flying from the west is the largest. According to their flight routes, from north to south is Vladivostok. North Korea's Chongjin, Pyongyang, Seoul, and Dandong, Dalian, and Qingdao airports should all be involved. Bombing. And there are also a large number of planes flying from the southwest to participate in the bombing, and it is guessed that they should be planes around Shanghai."

Suzuki Kantaro listened quietly and did not express any opinion.

Very silent.

In fact, Suzuki Kantaro sighed in his heart at this time.When Suzuki Kantaro emerged in the military, it was the time of great development in Japan.Suzuki Kantaro became famous during the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-].

During the siege of Weihaiwei in the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1-[-], as the captain of a torpedo boat, he jumped over the fence and rushed into the well-defended anchorage of the Beiyang Fleet in a big wave. Suzuki's flagship, the Dingyuan, was sunk in the port. Since this was the first time in the world that a torpedo was used to sink a battleship, Suzuki's reputation was greatly shaken.It can be said that Suzuki Kantaro became famous in the Japanese military circles by stepping on China, and it also laid the foundation for him to become the No. [-] of the Japanese Navy.

It is the pride of people like Suzuki Kantaro that Japan can surpass China to become the most powerful country in Asia.

But how long has it been since China has become so powerful.In one day, 6000 planes were mobilized to bomb Japanese cities.Even Kantaro Suzuki felt a little lucky at this time, fortunately, China did not use incendiary bombs like the United States.

Suzuki Kantaro does not think that China does not have incendiary bombs, and incendiary bombs do not have that much technical content.With China's industrial strength, it is still very easy to manufacture incendiary bombs.If China uses incendiary bombs this time, many of Japan's industrial cities will be wiped out.

But even if no incendiary bombs were used, it still made Suzuki Kantaro chill all over.This time no incendiary bombs were used, but China used a large number of super bombs.And this is the first time, it must be just a warning.What if they used it next time?

"Anan, do you think China will be able to mobilize so many planes to participate in the bombing tomorrow?"

"I'm not sure."

Ananwei is a little dull, and looks down on China in his heart, but he is really a qualified soldier.

Although he has always insisted on "[-] million pieces of jade" and "local decisive battle", he will not talk nonsense with his eyes open.After thinking for a while, he said: "China has been recharging its energy and energy for these years, and has laid a large number of airports in the coastal areas. And since China has decided to attack us, it is very easy to build some temporary airports in a short period of time. As long as If China has enough planes and enough ground staff, then these will not be a problem."

"With enough planes and enough ground crews, it is absolutely possible to bomb non-stop."

Suzuki Kantaro nodded, and said with a wry smile: "Is China short of planes? Will they be short of ground crew? Will they be short of oil? Will they be short of bombs? Will they be short of pilots? None of them will be short. With tens of thousands of bombs dropped, can our city survive?"

The bombing of hundreds of planes by the United States every day has made Japan unable to bear it.

If thousands of planes come up from China every day, who can bear it.Suzuki Kantaro thought for a while and said, "I'll report the situation to His Majesty the Emperor."

771

"How is it, Your Excellency? What does His Majesty the Emperor mean?"

Suzuki Kantaro came back after meeting the emperor, and Japanese Foreign Minister Togo Matoku was already waiting for Suzuki Kantaro.

Things are too big.

After all, this is the largest and most influential bombing that Japan has suffered since the outbreak of World War II.Those industrial cities in Japan watched the bombers drop bombs all day long, and the news spread instantly to the whole of Japan.

Panic.
