Ming Zuo

Chapter 1674 Dongpu has also reached the finale

When the Southwest Strategic Group, the South China Sea Fleet, and the Three Marine Divisions attacked South Asia, the Tenth Division had no mission.

They were ordered to be stationed in Duo Gandu and have been preparing for the march to the plateau.

With Zuo Menggeng's supervision, the National Defense Forces are full of awe for the plateau, and no amount of preparation can be overstated.

In fact, during the period when the Tenth Division was stationed in Duo Gandu Division, they had already felt the power of the plateau.

The enemies here are nothing, and the terrain here is nothing, but the terrible altitude sickness is everywhere.

Even if there is no battle, the Tenth Division has a large number of patients.

Fortunately, under the long-term stationing and the research of medical personnel, the principle of altitude sickness and the countermeasures have been figured out.

By now, the soldiers have adapted to this place.

In fact, in addition to combat, the Tenth Division still did a lot of work.

For example, building roads and bridges.

If you want to enter the plateau, logistical supplies are the top priority.The difficult road is the key to determining how far the Tenth Division can fight.

Fortunately, their hard work paid off.

Now the roads and bridges have been built by the Tenth Division to Dege near Zhezi (Jinsha River), and the bridge is currently being built on Zhezi.Once complete, you can raid Qamdo.

Qamdo is the east gate of the plateau.

Once captured here, the plateau will open its gates, and it will no longer be able to stop the attack of the Wehrmacht.

The forces on the plateau obviously understood this, so they deployed heavy troops in Qamdo.

Lumbateji arrogantly declared that the steep mountains and rushing rivers of Qamdo would become the burial place of the National Defense Forces.

He didn't know that the other two national defense forces had already infiltrated from the Brahmaputra Valley and Nepal.

I believe that when the two national defense forces appeared on the plateau, the faces of the Junggar people must be very exciting.

Just when the center was setting its sights on the southwest, exciting news came from Japan.

While the empire was operating globally, the civil war in Japan was still raging.

The feud between the Tokugawa shogunate and the foreign daimyo has become an endless feud, and it is impossible to stop unless one party is completely destroyed.

In order to eliminate each other and completely gain control of Dongpu, the two sides have resorted to all means.

Originally, in terms of power balance, the Tokugawa shogunate had an absolute advantage.

The largest population, the richest land, and the richest resources are the foundation for the Tokugawa shogunate to overwhelm the crowd.

However, the external daimyo received a lot of care from the empire, both openly and secretly, which effectively made up for its shortcomings.

Especially in terms of naval forces, the Satsuma domain is the best in Japan.

Under the constant harassment of the Satsuma navy, the Tokugawa shogunate's ruled area was completely unsafe, and it was impossible to produce well and provide help for front-line operations.

With the continuous escalation of the war, the two sides have no extra energy to take care of other things.

In order to win the war, extortion and extortion became the only choice for both sides.

In this case, the only ones suffering are ordinary Japanese people.

The Dongying people on Kyushu Island were able to escape into Shimabara's territory at first, and were sheltered by Shimabara, and their lives were settled again.But later, Satsuma and other domains strengthened the control of the border, imposed torture and severe punishment on all the people who dared to abscond, and completely cut off the hope of the people.

It can be said that on Kyushu Island, except for Shimabara's domain, other places are already hell-like.

The territory of the Tokugawa shogunate is no different.

Just in the past summer, a strong earthquake occurred in Edo, causing a large number of casualties.

Not only that, many workshops of the Tokugawa shogunate were concentrated here, and they were all destroyed in the earthquake.

Without these workshops, the front-line shogunate army would not even have enough weapons.

As a result, the foreign daimyo seized the opportunity and continued to attack until they reached Shizuoka, and Edo was already in sight.

Fortunately, Hidemune Date turned the tide and defeated Tadahiro Kato in Nagano on the northern front, and advanced the front to Toyama.

The foreign daimyo was afraid that the deep army would be outflanked, so he had to return to Nagoya.

The two sides were exhausted and scarred from the fight, and they all needed to stop to take a breath and re-accumulate their strength.

However, their practice of accumulating strength will inevitably cause further harm to the people of Japan.

Finally, the Dongying people who had endured to the extreme broke out.

First, the people of Maizuru in the area occupied by the foreign daimyo launched a riot, and then the people of Toyooka and Tottori responded one after another, and it suddenly became a prairie fire.

The backyard of the foreign daimyo was on fire, and he was devastated, so he had to send troops to quell the rebellion.

Originally, with the weakness of the people of Dongying, facing the encirclement and suppression of the army, they would only end in destruction.

But the people in these three places have obviously received guidance and support, and their weapons and equipment are very sophisticated. They actually repelled the encirclement and suppression of the army and expanded their territory.

Knowing that there was chaos inside the foreign daimyo, the morale of the Tokugawa shogunate was greatly boosted, and they didn't care about resting, and immediately launched an attack.

But just when they captured Toyohashi and were about to approach Nagoya, bad news also came.

Riots broke out in Niigata, Tsuruoka, Yokote, Miyagi and other places. The people who rose up not only captured the city, but also killed all the local officials and nobles, and even established a political power.

Although the northeast is remote, it has become an important food, timber, and mineral supply area for the Tokugawa shogunate at this time.

Something went wrong here, which made it difficult for the frontline army to continue, and they had to retreat in embarrassment.

Tokugawa Iemitsu was very dissatisfied with the Date family and ordered Date Zongsheng to put down the rebellion as soon as possible.

But the soldiers and horses of the Date family had already been taken to the front line by Date Masamune and Date Xiuzong, leaving only crooked melons and cracked dates.Coupled with the fact that Date Zongsheng is just a dude, an idiot, the result can be imagined.

The peasant army pretended to be defeated and set up an ambush in Dazang Village near Yamagata.In World War I, 700 officers and soldiers were wiped out, and even Date Zongsheng was hacked to death.

The impact of this fiasco is earthquake level.

Unsatisfied with their complete victory, the rebels even began to besiege Sendai.

This hit hit the key point of the Tokugawa shogunate thoroughly.

If Sendai is lost, the Tokugawa shogunate will lose control of the entire northeast of Japan, and will no longer get timber, minerals and food.

Once these things are gone, the Tokugawa shogunate will inevitably be destroyed.

"General, this might not be an opportunity."

Doi Toshikatsu was not just talking about comfort, he really saw an opportunity.

"The difficulties we encounter, rebellion is naturally seen in the eyes. They will definitely make a big fuss, and they will not hesitate to launch a thunderous blow. Under anxiety, it is inevitable that they will make mistakes. If we win on the battlefield, then all problems will be solved. won't be a problem."
