Doomsday, starting from a generation of masters

Chapter 67 Lethal Weapons
When the incident in Shanghai was reported back to Japan, the whole country was furious, and there was a clamor for the samurai of Great Japan to go to Shanghai and kill the man who humiliated the empire.

But the military has little interest in this, and they simply do not care about such trivial matters as "civil disputes".

Since the military took control of Japan, various taxes, finances, and budgets have all been heavily tilted toward the military industry. All industries related to people's lives have been greatly reduced, and military supplies that have nothing to do with life, including aircraft, tanks, and machine guns. , cannons, all growing like crazy.

A large number of weapons and equipment were produced, and a large number of young people joined the army!
50.00% of the entire country's fiscal revenue is used for military expenditures.

In a few years, Japan's military expenditure has increased sevenfold, machine guns have increased by 10.8 times, tanks have increased by 30 times, and automobiles have increased by 20 times.

Japan's military strength, in this kind of crazy preparations, has grown dramatically!

However, the fiscal deficit is also growing year after year.The public debt is issued every year, and the deficit grows every year.The economy has reached the brink of collapse.

Once the economy collapses, it will be an avalanche of disaster, and no one will be spared from the military to the political, from the civil to the royal family.

Japan has no choice, Japan is on the verge of madness, from top to bottom, from the inside out!They put everything on the table!
I only want one,
war!

only war,

Japanese workers work [-] to [-] hours a day, and the daily grain is calculated by grain. Even under such circumstances, they are still patient.

And paranoid that, as long as the war, you can win China just like in the Jiawu year!China will hand over everything we need to us!

This beast, with its hungry and crazy eyes, has been firmly nailed to the Chinese territory.

……

Of course, the country is well aware of this kind of crazy preparations, and sees it all.

Take the Northeast Kwantung Army as an example. After being disabled, within a few years, the Second Division was rebuilt and four new divisions were added. The strength of the entire Kwantung Army increased from less than 2 to 11 Ten thousand.

And each division is equipped with aircraft, tanks, heavy artillery and other heavy weapons, and light and heavy machine guns are distributed to each squad.

Weapons and equipment are comprehensively crushing the Chinese army, and the combat quality of individual soldiers is even worse.

The commander of the Northeastern Army, Sakamoto Seishiro, even clamored wildly to destroy the Northeastern Army within seven days!
The staff has carried out countless simulated operations, and the results have all failed miserably.

If there is a decisive battle of the large-scale army in the plains, then the mechanized advantage of the Japanese side will crush the Chinese army.

Therefore, neither the Northeast Plain nor the North China Plain can be used as a decisive battlefield.

Many people in the army suggested to Lao Jiang that we should choose the venue for the decisive battle, and the most suitable place is,

Shanghai!

First, if there is a decisive battle on the plains, and the Chinese army is crushed by the opponent, the opponent will inevitably move from north to south, all the way to the plain, sweeping and driving the south.The result was utterly disastrous.If you choose Shanghai, you can avoid the opponent's heavy weapons, and the advantages of mechanization will greatly shorten the combat effectiveness of both sides.

Second, Shanghai is the largest city in the East. European and American powers have a lot of interests in Shanghai, and they are very likely to intervene in the war.

Third, after the war in Shanghai, the opponent's strategic direction changed from north to south, following the trend, to east to west, from low to high.And even if you lose for a while, and retreat all the way, there is still a vast rear to support.

Lao Jiang agreed to this proposal and proposed that "the Japanese army in Shanghai should be driven to the Huangpu River!"

The officers at all levels were extremely excited and began to secretly replace the regular army in their hands with the Shanghai Security Regiment!

……

On the evening of August [-], outside Shanghai Hongqiao Airport.

Yuo Oyama, a lieutenant of the Japanese Marine Special Marine Corps, was extremely anxious. He and his men were stopped outside the airport. The other party bluntly said that this is a strong military area of ​​China and cannot be entered.

In the eyes of Dashan Yongfu, in Shanghai, there are places where their Japanese soldiers cannot enter?It's really too much for the other party to do this!

The purpose of his coming here is to receive information that the Chinese side secretly transferred the regular army into Shanghai, and he needs to go in to investigate. Although they are also continuously enhancing Shanghai's military strength, if the Chinese army also wants to do the same, then of course it must not be taken into account. Allowed!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help burning with anger, and drove his car to the gate, ready to force his way in.

"Bang, bang bang bang..." The dense gunshots sounded,

Dashan Yongfu was killed by random guns. Before he died, he finally determined that there were regular troops hidden here!
The death of Takeo Oyama made Japan smell the smell of war.

Immediately ordered the headquarters of the Special Marine Corps in Shanghai, the Third Fleet to enter the alert.

The navy mobilized the aircraft carriers "Ryongchung" and "Fengxiang" to go to Shanghai on standby, and at the same time ordered the aircraft carrier "Kaga", which was originally planned to go to the Soviet Union, to go with it.

On August 87th, the 88th and [-]th divisions, the ace divisions equipped by the whole German department, were deployed.

On August [-]th, the Battle of Songhu officially started!

But it was the Air Force who started it first.

As instructed, the Air Force took the lead in dispatching 76 sorties to bomb the Japanese headquarters, docks and warehouses in Shanghai.

But Japanese fighter jets arrived quickly, and the two sides fought in the air.

There is a huge gap between the two sides in terms of quantity and quality of aircraft.

Every time the Chinese Air Force strikes, it has to single out more than ten aircraft on the opposite side.

In the face of such a disadvantaged situation, the Chinese Air Force still shot down 28 Japanese aircraft!
In the face of such humiliation, Ishii, the captain of the Japan Airlines Co., committed suicide!

It is a pity that the glory of the Chinese Air Force is short-lived.
Every pilot knows his end, which must be - martyrdom!
After the war, the Japanese reacted quickly, and they began to increase their troops in Shanghai on a large scale.

All the forces that can be mobilized in China are also gathering in Shanghai. For a time, on the railways in the land of China, all the personnel carriers are running, and they all have the same destination - Shanghai.

From the common people to the soldiers in China, all believe that this battle will be won!

However, the reality is that the army failed to achieve even the first goal!

In order to drive the Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai into the sea before the arrival of Japanese reinforcements, the elite German 87th and 88th divisions launched an attack on the Japanese Navy Special Marine Corps Command!

However, the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet, stationed around the Huangpu River and Shanghai, provided strong fire support. The Chinese army's two consecutive attacks suffered heavy casualties and failed to capture the target!
Among them, the flagship of the Third Fleet, the cruiser Izumo, with its four 4mm caliber main guns, a single salvo can wipe out a platoon of Chinese troops!
With these fleets, the Chinese army is struggling,
Just when the war came to a standstill
On the evening of the 15th, the Izumo sank suddenly, and at the same time more than ten search ships of the Third Fleet sank!

According to the memories of the survivors, their ship was attacked by a special weapon. The underwater part of the hull was torn apart by the outside, and they were attacked one after another. In less than 10 minutes, the Izumo was torn apart ten times. There were many openings, and a huge amount of river water poured in crazily, and the Izumo sank to the bottom of the river in an instant!
The same was true for other ships, and countless elite Imperial navies lost their lives.

Survivors please, please find out what weapon they were attacked by anyway!

This kind of weapon is extremely powerful, with extremely high attack frequency, and it is silent and hard to guard against!

The navy is the lifeblood of the empire!
And this weapon
Must be the most deadly threat to the Imperial Navy!
