"Idiots, all are idiots!" Japanese Prime Minister Takahashi Tekiyo roared loudly: "The navy was defeated, the army was also defeated by the Chinese, and the glory of the empire was completely thrown away."

Takahashi is an expert in finance, but he is still a bit of a layman when it comes to fighting. After the rant, he still had to listen to other people's advice, and his eyes inevitably fell on Tanaka Yoshiichi.

The Sixth Division was killed, and the alliance flag fell into the hands of Feng Jun. This kind of blow also made Tanaka Yoshiichi change his arrogant style. He bowed and said: "Prime Minister, the failure of the Empire in Manchuria is not The warriors are cowardly, but the Chinese have the upper hand in terms of military strength. The empire has only two divisions in Manchuria, and the Chinese can easily mobilize an army of 20. There is a huge disparity, and setbacks are inevitable, but the empire is strong, as long as It is not difficult for us to refocus our forces to deal with Shina."

Regardless of whether it is true or not, the excuse of Tanaka's lack of troops is still very appetizing to the Japanese. At least admitting this is easier to accept than admitting tactical and strategic problems.

Tanaka continued: "The focus of the next step is to mobilize the domestic army, reverse the shortage of troops, and give the Chinese people a head-on blow!"

"Tanaka-kun, what action do you think the Chinese will take next, and where should the empire send its troops?" Takahashi Shiqing asked his own question.

Tanaka's small eyes rolled. This question is not easy. Feng Jun has seized the upper hand through a series of victories. If there is another mistake in strategic judgment, the situation of the Japanese will be even worse.

"Prime Minister, I think the Chinese may launch attacks from two directions, one is the Kanto Prefecture and the other is North Korea. In contrast, I think the Kanto Prefecture is the first choice for the Chinese."

"Tanaka-kun, do you have any basis?" [

Tanaka Yoshiichi said with a sneer: "There are three reasons. The 11st and [-]th divisions disappeared, No. [-] divisions were hit hard, and the Kanto Prefecture was short of troops. Nationalism, good at agitating people's sentiments, and Kantung State is his so-called homeland. Some time ago, in order to regain the land occupied by Russia, he had already fought a big battle with Chi Russia; the third Chinese people have stepped up investigation and bombing in the past two days They transferred the bombers along the Yalu River to the south. The bombing of Kanto Prefecture was launched, and it is likely that this was the preparation before the war.”

Tanaka Yoshiichi's three reasons are very good.Can fight, and is willing to fight, even the battle has already begun.All the important cabinet ministers present looked at each other, and the Navy Minister Kato Yusaburo also agreed with Tanaka's judgment.

"If the Chinese really attack Kanto Prefecture, I think it will become their grave!" Kato Yusaburo said grimly: "In Kanto Prefecture, we have a complete fortification system, and there are a lot of material reserves in the city. The most important thing is that the terrain of Kanto Prefecture is narrow, facing the sea on three sides, and the combined fleet can provide strong support. The Chinese people have back and forth.”

Regardless of the fact that the Army has lost a Sixth Division, whether the Army is expanding or rebuilding, it is all a matter of one sentence.It was the Japanese Combined Fleet that really felt the pain. Two battleships of more than 3 tons sank one after another in one day, and more than 2000 experienced naval soldiers.All sank into the water and fed the sharks.

This is a serious injury. The United Fleet has hated Fengjun for a long time. Because of this, Kato also temporarily put aside his differences with the army, and is going to teach Fengjun a lesson at Luda.Get back the lost face.

Takahashi clearly saw that the ministers of the navy and army had the same opinion, and he could only agree with it, so he said: "Since it is determined that the Chinese will attack the Kanto Prefecture, then we will send troops."

"That's right." Tanaka Yoshiichi said: "I think we should send heavy troops, the second, fourth, fifth, and No.12. There are four standing divisions in total to form the Manchurian Dispatch Army. Eliminate the main force of the Chinese people and occupy the whole of Manchuria."

Tanaka Yoshiichi gritted his teeth and said that Japan has a total of 11 standing divisions. After deducting the garrisons of North Korea and Taiwan, and the sixth and No.[-] divisions, there are not many forces that can be mobilized. Four divisions were formed, so it can be seen that he also invested a lot of money.

After Takahashi finished listening, he couldn't help asking: "Tanaka-kun, the Chinese people and the No.19 division are currently fighting along the Tumen River. Do you need to send some troops to North Korea to strengthen the defense so that the Chinese people don't kill you?" into North Korea."

After hearing this, Tanaka Yoshiro showed a sneer: "The Chinese don't have the ability to fight across the border, but it is also necessary to send troops to North Korea. The main purpose is to support the direction of Kanto Prefecture. It is even more important for the two armies to enter Manchuria together. Got it!"

After discussion, the Japanese cabinet finally finalized the plan for the second, fourth, fifth, and twelfth divisions to sail to Lushun for defense as soon as possible.In the direction of North Korea, they only sent a third division to cooperate with the original No.19 and No.20 divisions to confront Fengjun.

The arrangement of the Japanese is completely opposite to that of Fengjun, and they will soon taste the price of strategic misjudgment.Of course, before the official attack, the Fengjun also formulated a strategic deception operation.

In past battles, secrecy has always been emphasized by the army, but in order to hide the real combat intention, it is not enough to rely on secrecy alone, but also to actively mislead others and cause misjudgment to the other party.Compared with passive secrecy, this kind of deception is more deceptive.

The newly established Strategic Deception Bureau has been launched. Zhong Zhao has already organized experts from all walks of life and opened up a special battlefield commentary section in the newspaper.The front is the latest battle report, and the back is the interpretation and comments of these experts.

Military experts are much more professional than those war reporters, and what they reveal inadvertently is of high value, so many Westerners are extremely concerned, and of course there are Japanese.From the very beginning, Zhong Zhao established the principle of [-]% true and [-]% false. He repeatedly knocked on every comment and exhausted his efforts. [

After the Sixth Division was wiped out, Director Zhong even published an enthusiastic comment, saying that the door to Liaodong has been opened, and the will of the Chinese military and civilians to regain their homeland cannot be changed!

Of course, this sentence was interpreted as Fengjun's declaration of attacking Luda, and during the combat operations, Fengjun did the same. Except for the first two days of the war, it bombed along the Yalu River.The remaining bombing operations were all aimed at Lushun and Dalian. Fengjun's bombers, fighter jets, and reconnaissance planes appeared over Lushun every day.

In addition to throwing bombs, a lot of paper was also thrown, telling the people in the city to get ready to meet the army, and the good days of the invaders are over.

In addition, naval submarines also frequently appeared in the Yellow Sea, posing a posture of using submarines to block the United Fleet.With this gesture, the Japanese were immediately overjoyed.The greatest power of submarines is concealment and suddenness. Once the Fengjun wants to use submarines to push back the combined fleet, it will relieve the sea threat for the Army's attack brigade.

Then it won't be that difficult to find the Fengjun submarine. The damn underwater ghosts are doomsday.The Japanese Combined Fleet is also gearing up, concentrating a large number of destroyers and cruisers, practicing anti-submarine warfare, and wanting to avenge King Kong and Kirishima.

With the comprehensive confrontation by sea, land and air, it seems that Fengjun's attack on Luda has become an inevitable choice.Observers from all over the world are speculating whether Fengjun will perform another miracle.

After a careful rehearsal, they were not optimistic about Fengjun. After all, during the Russo-Japanese War more than ten years ago, the Japanese corpses piled up in Lushun and suffered heavy losses. At that time, the two sons of the commander Nogi Xidian all set up on the 203 Heights .

Although Japan won and lost, it is undeniable that Japan was fighting Russia with all its strength at that time, and it had no worries, while Fengjun was just a local force. Once tens of thousands of elites were lost in Lushun, could this battle continue? !

Faced with these things, Zhang Tinglan just looked at each other and smiled. I am not the elm-headed Nogi Xidian, so I will not use my own shortcomings to attack others' strengths.But at this time, it is better for them to make mistakes in judgment, just wait for Feng Jun to shock the world.

In a blink of an eye, it was April 25th, and the patter of spring rain fell, which happened to be the early stage of farming, and a rain meant a good year.For Feng Jun, this is also an excellent opportunity to attack.

Sun Anhu and Jiang Dengxuan, including Yang Yuting who rushed to Ji'an from Fengtian, were all waiting anxiously in the headquarters.In the rain, the soldiers of the First Division once again took on the important task of breaking through the defense line of the Yalu River.

In order to ensure the suddenness of the attack, Feng Jun not only played tricks, but also was very particular about the garrison. More than [-] troops were scattered and deployed at the foot of Changbai Mountain, using dense forests to cover them.

At the same time, the policy of marching at night and concealing during the day was adopted, avoiding various detections by the Japanese.Because of this, the Japanese were not aware of Feng's surprise attack at all. They only had a brigade of Japanese soldiers defending opposite Ji'an, and the difference in strength was extremely large.

As the heavy artillery began to roar, flames burst into flames on the North Korean side, and all the Japanese fortifications were blown to pieces.The Japanese soldiers who were suddenly attacked were blown to pieces before they could hide in the bunker.

Because the heavy rain provided natural cover, the Fengjun dispatched several good swimmers who quietly swam across the Yalu River and pulled up three ropes on the surface of the river.

After the attack was launched, the soldiers had a place to rely on by climbing the ropes. They didn't have to worry about being washed away by the river, and soon a pontoon bridge was laid on the river.The follow-up troops stepped on the pontoon bridge and entered North Korea.

At this time, the Japanese just woke up like a dream, and hurriedly dispatched troops to block the riverside defense line, but the adjacent roads were destroyed by artillery, and their troops could not rush over.

Feng Jun successfully rushed over at a very small price. Zhang Henian was also very high-spirited. Standing in the rain, he gave an order loudly: "The first regiment stays and immediately expands the control area to provide help for the brother troops to cross the river. The second and third regiments Follow me to kill devils!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation..)
