Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

Kwantung Army here.

The headquarters was bombed, the commander-in-chief was killed, and most of the transportation hubs and railways in the Northeast were destroyed.

The Kwantung Army was extremely busy and it was a huge mess.

The Japanese invaders urgently dispatched General Seiichi Miki to the Northeast to take up the post of commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army.

As soon as Miki Kiyoshi took office, he ordered all imperial forces in the Northeast to repair the railway with all their might.

The first batch of reinforcements from the Japanese mainland and the peninsula, totaling 30 troops, have arrived in the Northeast.

Among them, there were 10 Japanese soldiers and 20 Korean soldiers.

Miki Kiyoshi ordered that all the reinforcements be involved in restoring traffic.

As a result, a larger battle has begun to take shape in China.

And this battle will be an unprecedented epic battle.

It even had a great impact on the development of the world pattern.

……

On the other hand, in Nanjing, the Japanese had already transported 10 troops by sea.

These are elite divisions that have returned home to rest and recuperate, and they are all veterans of hundreds of battles.

The Japanese Prime Minister specially transferred these veterans to General Okamura Yasuji.

The purpose is to gather strength again and defeat the Chinese army.

In the temporary command center.

"Gentlemen! It will take us half a month for all the reinforcements to arrive!"

"The defeat in North China is now certain. The Eighth Route Army's offensive is too sharp, and the Locust Army has no power to resist."

"Now they have conquered half of Lu Province, and the Chinese battlefield has been completely divided into two."

Neiji Okamura analyzed calmly.

After all, he was an expert on China and had dealt with the Eighth Route Army for a long time.

He was able to remain rational in this crisis.

He keenly sensed a glimmer of hope for turning the tide in the seemingly crisis-ridden situation.

The Japanese generals had serious expressions and listened attentively to what Okamura Neiji said.

"But! By doing this, the Eighth Route Army is also putting them in danger!"

"That is, North China is surrounded on three sides by our Southern Front Army, Kwantung Army, and Navy."

"In military tactics, this is a dead end, a hopeless situation!"

"It's ridiculous that Lin Tian is still too young and was blinded by the easy victory."

"What we have to do is to launch a fierce attack from three directions before the Eighth Route Army can react!"

"This time, we will gather nearly a million locust soldiers and mobilize half of the locust alliance army. With a million troops, we will concentrate our strength to annihilate Lin Tian's division first!"

"As long as Lin Tian and his division are wiped out, the remaining Eighth Route Army can be at our disposal!"

A fierce murderous intent flashed in Okamura Neiji's eyes, and he said proudly, holding the table with both hands.

Originally, he wanted to send all the Locust Association troops into the battlefield, let the Chinese fight the Chinese, and first consume the Eighth Route Army's strength and ammunition.

Finally, let the locust army launch a general attack to put an end to the Eighth Route Army.

However, in this battle, all the reinforcements from the entire Chinese battlefield and the country were withdrawn, and a large number of troops were still needed to garrison the occupied areas.

Therefore, it is better to leave half of the Locust Association Army to cooperate with the Locust Army's garrison troops and garrison in the occupied area just in case.

When going out to fight, the most important thing is to have a stable rear.

We can’t let others rob our house.

Half of the Locust Alliance's army would be enough.

The total number of China's Locust Alliance troops is over 500 million, so this half would be 250 million.

We must act quickly and decisively, without any delay.

In a battle involving millions of people, logistics is a huge problem.

Okamura Neiji was well aware that local resources were already in short supply.

America has announced that it will no longer provide resources to the empire.

This forced the empire to increase its aggression and plunder resources from other countries.

Especially war resources.

As for this kind of thing, China has a vast territory and abundant resources.

Due to America's decision, the Empire's Navy has recently begun collecting intelligence on America's Navy.

They decided to teach this arrogant and ignorant country a lesson.

The Japanese generals present agreed deeply with what Okamura Yasuji said.

According to intelligence, Lin Tian is only in his early twenties.

A young boy.

It is because they have weapons and equipment that are far superior to those of the Locust Army that they dare to be so presumptuous.

Lin Tian has been very successful. He has never lost a game since his debut.

This would inevitably lead him to underestimate the enemy and advance recklessly.

The Japanese all believe in the spirit of Bushido, and they know very well that the outcome of war is still decided by people.

Weapons and equipment are just external forces.

Now, the number of locust troops far exceeds that of the Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army has made a fatal mistake.

This is the Locust Army’s opportunity.

The Japanese are a people who want to kill him while he is weak. This is the mentality in their hearts.

"Yoshi, since everyone is okay, let's go down and get ready!"

"Order all troops in the occupied areas to collect food!"

"Within ten days, I will collect enough food to support a million-strong army for five days! If anyone resists, I will kill them without mercy!"

"Food from the country has been delivered in the past few days. This is all from the savings of the people of the empire who tightened their belts. Even His Majesty Tian Huang only eats one meal a day!"

"My lords! We must fight to the death and move forward. We must not let down His Majesty the Heavenly Locust's high hopes!"

Okamura Neiji suddenly stood up and looked around with a sharp look in his eyes.

"It's dark and the card is on board!"

"The Empire will win!"

"The locust army will win!"

All the Japanese generals stood up in unison, raised their heads proudly and shouted loudly.

Their confidence returned.

So what if a division’s air force is so powerful?

They can't carry out large-scale air strikes 24 hours a day.

It’s not that the locust army is incapable of fighting at night.

On the contrary, the Locust Army is also very skilled in night combat.

The locust army could take advantage of the cover of darkness, hiding during the day and moving out at night, advancing secretly.

The locust army plus the 250 million locust allies, what a terrifying number.

More than three million troops were used to destroy the hundreds of thousands of Eighth Route Army troops in North China.

Just pile up the heads and you will win!

Not to mention the tens of thousands of people in the first division.

They will all be submerged in the vast sea of ​​people.

By then, if all these millions of troops launched a desperate charge, they would be able to defeat a division.

This is where the Japanese' confidence comes from this time.

This was also the largest battle in the Asian battlefield during the entire World War II.

Even decades later, people are still talking about it.

……

First Division Command.

"Commander, good news! Our vanguard has successfully liberated Luxi!"

"Now the troops ask for instructions to continue the attack!"

Liu Wu reported happily.

"I agree, but tell them not to underestimate the enemy and advance rashly. They must be vigilant at all times!"

"Also, gather troops and fellow villagers in western Shandong to quickly restore the destroyed Japanese airport."

"At the same time, build two new airports specifically for our bombers to take off and land!"

"Move the headquarters forward, directly to Luxi, I have important things to do!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Tian gave the order without hesitation.

Opportunities are rare and will never come back. This opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
