Beiyang reactionaries

Whether it is the aircraft carrier involved in the siege of Taiwan, or the air force of the Southeast Military Region, while bombing Okinawa and Taiwan, it is participating in the Philippine campaign.Cooperate with the U.S. Air Force to bomb the Japanese army in the Philippines.

This is no small force.

Because the Chinese Air Force directly participated in the Philippine campaign with more than 3000 combat aircraft.Although these planes participated in the Philippine campaign in batches and bombed the Japanese army in the Philippines, they were of great help to the US military.

Of course, China's support for the US military campaign in the Philippines is not only that.China opened up the airports in Fujian and Guangdong, allowing the U.S. air force to repair here.This is of great benefit to the US military.

Because the U.S. military traveled thousands of miles to Asia to fight, the logistical pressure was still enormous.If it weren't for the strength of the US industry and the strong logistical support capabilities of the US, the US would not be able to fight such a war.

Although there are now thousands of transport ships and tens of thousands of transport aircraft supporting the logistics of the United States.But this looks very powerful, but it is actually a great loss to the United States.After the air forces bombed the Philippines, they could fly directly to China for repairs and obtain logistical supplies in China, which is of great benefit to the frontline operations of the United States.

Therefore, the US campaign in the Philippines went very smoothly.

a month.

It has only been a month since the U.S. military launched the Philippine campaign, and the U.S. military has won decisive victories on several fronts.Of course, the resistance of the Japanese army was also very fierce. Many troops really would rather die than surrender, which caused great casualties to the US military.

However, the Japanese army could not stop the flood of American troops.

In fact, compared with the US military, the Australian army is more brave in combat.With the support of the U.S. aviation force and equipped with sufficient weapons and equipment, the Australian army has really shown amazing combat effectiveness.

Even crazier than the US military.

More than 30 Australian troops landed in the Philippines, and with more than 30 US Army troops, they almost swept the Philippines.Although the Battle of the Philippines was not completely over, especially the Japanese army on Luzon Island, it was really a desperate resistance.But other places in the Philippines quickly fell into the hands of the US military.

Japan is no longer concerned about the situation in Southeast Asia.

They pay more attention to local conditions.

On September 9, China attacked Xiaguan, and directly blew up the defensive positions in Xiaguan that day.The Japanese military was worried that China would land from Xiaguan, so it urgently mobilized troops that night and began to deploy defenses on the Xiaguan side.After China saw that Japan did not respond, it stepped up its air strikes against Japan on September 26.

On this day, China dispatched a rare 7000 bombers.

Two-thirds of them are four-engine heavy bombers developed by China, and these heavy bombers carry an average of 7 tons of aerial bombs.On September 9, China dropped 27 tons of aerial bombs to Japan.

It was the heaviest day since China began bombing the Japanese mainland.And on this day, the scope of China's bombing began to expand, and it was no longer limited to military-related targets.Some Japanese government districts and Japanese business districts are within the bombing range of the Chinese Air Force.

A sensation in Japan.

On September 9th, Chinese army units began to occupy some small islands in Japan.

Tsushima Island and the Five Islands are all under the control of the Chinese army.The Chinese navy continued to move south and began to attack Nagasaki.The air force and navy cooperated to carry out a day-long bombing of Nagasaki.

On September 9, China dispatched another 29 bombers.

In order to deal a greater blow to Japan, China has laid a large number of airports on the Korean Peninsula during this period.Because the Korean peninsula is the closest to Japan, it is most suitable for bombing the Japanese mainland.

On September 9, China changed its bombing method.

Concentrate on bombing a few key cities.It's not like before, bombing six or seven cities in one day. On September 9th, China concentrated its efforts and attacked three cities.

Kyoto, Kobe, Osaka.

Regardless of whether the army is an army or not, after the air force has formed a formation, it will attack these three cities indiscriminately.This is the first time that China has carried out such an indiscriminate carpet attack.

The effect is amazing.

After all, concentrate on attacking three cities and a bomber formation of 6000 sorties.A few cities were able to withstand a bombardment of this magnitude.

On September 9, China continued to adopt this bombing pattern.

Of course, it is impossible for China to maintain this level of bombing every day.However, on September 9, China again dispatched about 30 bombers to carry out bombing, and the targets were still Kyoto, Kobe, and Osaka.

After two consecutive days of bombing, China dropped more than 5 tons of aerial bombs on these three cities, leaving these three cities basically in ruins.

By this time, Japan's industrial output was less than 10% of what it had been before.One is because Japan is currently seriously short of raw materials, and the other is the result of being bombed by China and the United States.

I really can't fight anymore.

At this time, the United States is also a little angry.

Because on the European battlefield, the Soviet Union is advancing faster and faster.Moreover, there are more and more Communist Party organizations in Europe, and they form an army to welcome the arrival of the Soviet Union.This makes the United States very nervous.

The United States needs to transfer its energy to Europe as soon as possible, and must stop the Soviet Union.Europe must not fall into the hands of the Soviet Union.If Europe really fell into the hands of the Soviet Union, the internationalization of trade promoted by the United States would suffer a serious setback.Even if the Soviet Union really controls Europe, the expansion of Soviet power will directly affect Britain and the United States.

Therefore, on September 9, the incendiary bombs of the US military began to remain in the vicinity of the Japanese Imperial Palace.Originally, the United States did not want to form a grudge with Japan that would never be resolved, so it did not bomb the Japanese Imperial Palace during the previous bombing.

But now the United States is too anxious.

There was no time to chat with Japan, so they dropped a lot of incendiary bombs, which shocked the Japanese emperor.Therefore, Emperor Meiji convened an imperial meeting again, but the result was not very smooth. Those Japanese army leaders still stated that they wanted "9 million pieces of jade" and "a decisive battle on the mainland".Therefore, the imperial meeting on September 30 was still ineffective.

On October 10, China began to concentrate its forces to attack Hiroshima.

This time China also used incendiary bombs in Hiroshima, which is the first time China has used incendiary bombs since it attacked Japan.China dispatched more than 1500 bombers to carry out carpet bombing of Hiroshima.As a result, there was almost no city in Hiroshima in one day.

Atomic bomb?

Much more lethal than the atomic bomb.

The loss of a city shocked Japan even more.Because Japan's high-level officials have already understood that China will really destroy Japan if it is allowed to go on.This time it's just Hiroshima, which one will it be next time?

Think about how frightened the top Japanese officials are.

People like Kido Koichi, Suzuki Kantaro, and Minai Mitsumasa are all trying to convince Emperor Meiji.Tell him that if the surrender is not accepted, all cities in Japan will disappear.

The bombing by China and the United States these days has brought more than 100 million deaths in Japan, and there have been 600 million casualties in the whole process.And there are millions of people in Japan who have fled the cities.The result is that many cities in Japan are now empty.

On the evening of October 10, after knowing that there was almost no city in Hiroshima, Emperor Meiji held the imperial meeting again.But at this imperial meeting, the big bosses of the army still refused to accept the surrender.

But Emperor Meiji of Japan was still afraid.

On October 10, Emperor Meiji of Japan quietly discussed with some bigwigs who advocated negotiating with China.Finally decided to accept the "Ili Declaration".But before accepting, they want those promises from China.

773

"Chairman, good news. Japanese representative Masayuki Tani said that Emperor Meiji of Japan decided to accept the 'Ili Declaration' and announced his unconditional surrender."

1944 10 Month 3 Day.

Days of bombing, coupled with the active preparation of the Chinese army to land, and even the surrounding small islands have been controlled by China, made it impossible for Emperor Meiji of Japan to delay.So without telling the military radicals, after a meeting with other political and military leaders who supported surrender, they made up their mind to surrender.

Gu Zhengyu has been in Beijing for a month on behalf of Japan, and finally got an order from Emperor Meiji.Emperor Meiji decided to accept the conditions proposed by China and accept the "Ili Declaration".However, although he agreed to surrender, Emperor Meiji still had to listen to China's intentions and put forward some conditions.

Most importantly, the emperor system cannot be abolished.What Emperor Meiji was most worried about was that China would abolish the Emperor and carry out a major transformation of Japan.If the emperor was to be abolished, how could Emperor Meiji easily make up his mind to surrender.

Of course, apart from Emperor Meiji, some Japanese ministers who advocated surrender were even more worried about the post-war situation.They worry about whether China will dismember Japan after the war, and whether Japan will be turned into several countries.Although these people knew that Japan was going to be defeated and surrendered, their purpose was to leave a little vitality for Japan and the capital to re-emerge in the future.Therefore, they hope to get guarantees from China, and hope that China can retain some of Japan's capital.If China divides Japan, it will directly interrupt Japan's rising capital.

Therefore, before announcing its surrender, Japan hopes to have a good talk with China and get China's support.
