Invincible urban management

168. Elegy of the Japanese Empire

July 1935 was a triumphant month for the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army on this plane.

First of all, although the mainland has been baptized by nuclear explosions, and Tokyo and Osaka have been reduced to radioactive wasteland, even under such circumstances, the fanatical Japanese army still refused to compromise and seek peace. In the headquarters, the whole country was mobilized to enter the wartime system, vowing to fight the war of "punishing China" to the end!Therefore, the Shanghai Red Army delivered the fifth nuclear bomb again on July 7, and used the rising mushroom cloud as the most gorgeous fireworks in the world to illuminate the sky of Kyoto.

However, although the Japanese are still stubbornly refusing to admit defeat, the toughness of speech cannot restore the successive defeats on the mainland battlefield-the reinforcements and ammunition supplies from Japan have been completely cut off at this time; In the occupied areas of Henan, Hebei, and Shandong, riots broke out like volcanic eruptions.

——Through the extensive propaganda of the underground party and the gnashing of curses by the Japanese, many people in all parts of China, at least the well-informed urban residents, already know about the five catastrophes that took place in Japan, and the knowledge of the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants "Specialized nuclear weapons for the destruction of the country with great power"...and initially formed such a consensus: as long as this war continues, Japan will soon be wiped off the earth!

Under such circumstances, even the most hardcore traitors can't help but feel a drum in their hearts, and begin to actively think of ways to find a way out for themselves.

As for those traitor troops who had just defected to the Japanese in the first two months, they became extremely unreliable.

However, the Japanese have never had time to carry out a general mobilization of the whole people-at first, they despised the "inferior ethnic group of China" extremely.Moreover, with the support of the whole world, the battle was going smoothly, and it felt unnecessary; after a few nuclear bombs, the domestic order had basically collapsed.If you want to engage in a general war, you can't mobilize it—so the Japanese army is still building a few elite lines. The core force in the country is one guard division plus [-] standing divisions, plus the Korean army in "overseas colonies" And some miscellaneous troops of the Taiwan Army.

As a result, the Red Army of Workers and Peasants who did not play their cards according to common sense is now on the stand. The unlucky Japanese Army soon suffered heavy losses-four divisions were wiped out on the Jiangnan battlefield, and five divisions were destroyed by nuclear explosions in the country. Three divisions are on the mainland for disaster relief and suppression of riots, and the last four divisions.More than [-] troops were deployed on the vast front thousands of miles from Heilongjiang to Jiangsu and Shandong, and they disappeared like pepper noodles.

not to mention.As the homeland of Japan gradually turned into a radioactive wasteland, the Japanese army on the front line of the Chinese mainland is also increasingly motivated, and its fighting will and combat effectiveness are plummeting together. So what if there are more victories?

In fact, after the Fourth Division withdrew to Peiping.On the battlefield of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers from Shandong, Henan, Hebei to Jiangsu.Of all the combat troops deployed by the Japanese army, only one Sixth Division and a number of scattered remnants and defeated generals were left, and the full combat force was less than 4.With such a pitiful force, not to mention launching an attack, even defending the existing territory is an impossible task. We must rely heavily on China's puppet army.

However, with the rapid wasteland in Japan, the loyalty of the puppet army is also being shaken sharply, and various mutinies, escapes, rebellions, and robbery of arsenals and treasuries emerge in endlessly.As a result, the Japanese army looked more and more strangely at the "China allies" around them when they were devastated...

To this.The only countermeasure for Japan’s wartime base camp is to try its best to dispatch the troops of North Korea, Taiwan and the Puppet Manchukuo to support Shandong’s operations—unfortunately, the nuclear explosion seriously disrupted Japan’s shipping and completely disrupted the routine operations of military and government agencies, making the The deployment of troops has been delayed.

On the other hand, after learning that the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army possessed a super killer weapon that could "destroy the country with one blow" and that manpower could not stop, all the warlords in the country were completely terrified: Facing such an irresistible and powerful enemy However, any military confrontation with real knives and real guns is obviously meaningless; and if ordinary people are tied up as hostages... how can such a terrorist policy lacking technical content be effective in a chaotic world of endless fighting?

Under such circumstances, the attitudes of the warlords of all sizes across China, as well as the troops under these warlords, towards the Red Army have undergone tremendous changes one after another. It's better not to force yourself to die with such a small body.

Among them, Yan Xishan has sent a secret envoy to Shanghai to discuss the price of Yizhi's adaptation.And Zhang Xueliang, who had lost all his land and most of his army, even sent a letter from Luoyang to recommend himself, saying that he could help in the battle to regain the Northeast.As for Long Yun in Yunnan, Yang Hucheng in Shaanxi, and Liu Xiang in Sichuan, they also veiled the proposal of "peaceful nation building" and completely ignored the two national governments in Beijing and Wuhan.

Even in Beijing and Wuhan, with the rapid changes in the current situation, quite a few "communists" have also emerged.

——From the first ten days of July, the Kuomintang troops sent by Chiang Kai-shek to wipe out the Dabie Mountains revolutionary base began to disobey orders, stationed troops, and even mutinied one after another. After the tragic situation of the scorched earth, the staff of the underground party paid 300 million US dollars for a division commander, 20 US dollars for a regimental commander, and [-] US dollars for a company commander. Soon, they sold themselves decisively and surrendered one after another, and then counted the money and planned to go abroad as an apartment.

Although this kind of "silver bullet strategy" popular in the Republic of China era is very unscrupulous, it is quite cost-effective and even addictive-no way, for the traversers who have the super cheating device of the governments of the modern world, don't There may be a little lack of things, only banknotes are absolutely necessary, and each one is so real that it cannot be more real.If it is really possible to use a pile of "genuine" foreign banknotes to directly avoid the flames of war and buy the victory of the national revolution.That price is definitely much cheaper than squandering bullets and human lives.

The only regret is that as the Japanese Empire gradually turned into a radioactive wasteland, Japanese yen banknotes are gradually becoming equivalent to waste paper.No matter where it is taken, it will be rejected, which makes the former Prime Minister Xiaoniaoyou Zhenbai feel very sorry.

On the Hubei battlefield in July, the Kuomintang troops had retreated to the front line of the Jianghan Plain. Even the most die-hard reactionaries only dared to defend a few strongholds at the moment, and did not have the courage to attack the Red Army bases.Even if forced to take the initiative to attack, they are as gentle as sheep.Slowly, tepidly, and at the slightest sign of trouble, he will quickly retract at full speed.Chiang Kai-shek, who was in Wuhan, was very annoyed, and he called and sent telegrams to command the troops everywhere, which caused more chaos and collapse, and also made the officers and soldiers more centrifugal.

Thus.The pressure on Xu Xiang's front on the Dabie Mountains immediately dropped sharply.In July, several turnaround battles were fought one after another-the Japanese army was extremely short of troops, and only a few squadrons could be used to fight tens of thousands of Red Army on the front line. Naturally, every battle was defeated.However, the combat effectiveness of the puppet army has repeatedly hit new lows with the collapse of the Japanese army and the increase in the bribery of the underground party.There was even a big joke about a division of the puppet army surrendering to a platoon of the Red Army.

By the end of July, Xu Xiangqian's troops had already approached the city of Hefei, and were about to join forces with Su Yu along the Huaihe River.

In Hunan, the revolutionary situation was even better - Mao Zedong personally led his troops back to his hometown of Shaoshan, and launched a major uprising organized by the peasant association.Open up the line of communication with the Jiangxi Soviet Area.He Long's old colleagues in the Hunan Army lined up one by one with shy faces to discuss the issue of treatment after the flag change.Even the direct descendants of the Kuomintang Huangpu who were trapped in Changsha, the provincial capital, were bombarded by rockets and aircraft bombs several times, and after being threatened by the Red Army soldiers with "nuclear bombs to slaughter the city" (just talking about it), they were tied up. Chief Xue Yue and Hunan Provincial Chairman Chiang Kai-shek had just appointed came out and surrendered.

In this way, by mid-July, the two provincial capitals of Changsha and Guangzhou were recovered one after another.In late July, Nanchang once again raised the red flag.

Although relying on the shallow-water gunboats of the United States, Britain and Japan retreating into the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, as well as the fire support provided by the Kuomintang naval ships, the two inland river ports of Jiujiang and Yueyang are still in the hands of the Kuomintang diehards for the time being, making it impossible for the Red Army in Jiangxi and Hunan. The whole province was recovered, but as the Shanghai Red Army fleet gradually moved westward along the river, there were not many days left for the Kuomintang navy, which "has no tigers in the mountains and monkeys are kings".

In the midst of such a frenzy of red flags sweeping across China, the Japanese Navy’s Truk Anchorage Squadron led by Rear Admiral Nagumo, after a long and exhausting trek, finally passed through the turbulent waves of the Pacific Ocean in summer and arrived at the Taiwanese colony—— —According to the scheduled plan, they will take a final rest here, carry the landing troops provided by the army, and then launch a deadly raid on Shanghai together.

However, Major General Nanyun Zhongyi, who returned with generosity and tragedy, received a cold blow in Taiwan...

Taiwan, Keelung Port

This city, formerly known as "Chicken Coop", is located in the northeast corner of Taiwan Island, surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the sea on one side.With the help of well-developed shipping and emerging railway transportation, as well as its unique geographical location, its development has been accelerated under the Japanese rule, and it is now an important port where thousands of merchants gather.

At this moment, after 40 years of Japanese rule, the resistance of Taiwanese people has gradually weakened, and they have gradually been assimilated by Japan, making the colonial rule gradually stabilized. Of course, the Japanese consider themselves above Taiwan and look down on Taiwan The Japanese ruled Taiwanese as second-class citizens, but it is undeniable that the Japanese also brought some modern things to Taiwan, making this subtropical island with relatively backward social development gradually integrate into modern society, and allowing the vast majority of Taiwan The common people have gradually developed a certain sense of identity with Japan's rule.

Therefore, even at this moment when the Japanese Empire is rapidly reduced to a radioactive wasteland, and the millions of square kilometers of occupied areas from Manchuria to North Korea are all undercurrents, the island of Taiwan still maintains a rare calm... And this is also The reason why the Japanese army chose this place as the last counterattack base.

The Japanese sailors who had traveled thousands of miles back from the equatorial Truk Atoll finally got field reports about several domestic nuclear explosions in Keelung Port.

"...the fireball that exploded over Mount Fuji had a diameter of more than five kilometers. It could be seen by people as far away as Sapporo on the island of Hokkaido and the port of Busan on the Korean peninsula. The mushroom cloud that finally spewed out was inserted into the upper atmosphere; the hot wind generated by the explosion, People in almost the entire Kanto Plain were burned. The flash of the explosion made the citizens of Nagoya feel severe pain and burns in their eyes. Cataracts and blindness even appeared. The scorching wind generated by the explosion was also felt in Kyoto and the Ogasawara Islands. Even The United States, far away on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, also detected a magnitude [-] seismic wave from the instrument...

... Throughout Tokyo, almost all wooden houses were destroyed; only masonry or concrete houses remained, but the doors, windows and roofs were also blown away by strong winds; District, like the early Warring States period.Like Kyoto during the Onin Rebellion, it was completely burned to a scorched earth.The palace of His Majesty the Emperor was also destroyed... Millions of Tokyoites wandered like ghosts over their homes that had been reduced to rubble.The former prosperous metropolis in the Far East has now become a purgatory on earth without law and order...

...The fireball that exploded in Hiroshima not only flattened the entire urban area of ​​Hiroshima, but also swept across the nearby Kure Port tutelary fort and Etajima Naval Academy.The shipyards and fortresses of Kure Port were reduced to ruins.The cherry blossoms of Etajima have disappeared together with the naval athletes of the empire..."

—According to the practice of the Japanese Empire.This kind of news of "spreading failure ideas" is not allowed to appear in the newspapers during the war.However, the hastily established wartime base camp was still in extreme chaos at this time, and no one thought of introducing laws on news censorship.Therefore, in Taiwan's local newspapers, almost every one uses the headlines to report various tragedies in Japan.

This made the sailors, who were still a little afraid of the war, suddenly filled with righteous indignation, and vowed to fight the Chinese in Shanghai to the death.

However.While the Japanese navy, which has always been polite and polite, was aroused to be ferocious, the famous Japanese army unfortunately lost its chain.

"...What the hell is the army doing? What is the government doing? Why didn't they gather enough troops in Taiwan?!"

Rear Admiral Nagumo Tadaichi who was busy with the world.Lieutenant General Toshiichi Terauchi, commander of the Taiwan Army, learned in astonishment that none of the army divisions that were scheduled to gather in Keelung Harbor were in place, and for a while, he could no longer care about superiority and inferiority, and shouted with veins throbbing on his forehead, "" …Don’t you guys know that the battle for the rise and fall of the empire is here? No matter how powerful our navy is, we can’t go ashore, and naval guns alone won’t be able to crush the Communist Army in Shanghai!”

"...I'm sorry, Nagumo-kun, but the country is also very difficult." Terauchi Toshiichi wiped the spittle sprayed on his face by the other party with a handkerchief, and said as calmly as possible, "...Tokyo, Osaka and Kansai Due to insufficient relief, serious refugee riots broke out in disaster areas all over the country. In order to ensure that His Majesty the Emperor's holy car would not be harassed by mobs, the base camp in Kyoto must leave enough suppressive troops.

What is even more frightening is that the Russians in the north have changed. There are signs of gathering troops in North Yeta Island (the Japanese name of Sakhalin Island, and the southern part of Sakhalin Island belongs to Japan at this time), Kamchatka Peninsula and other places.And the Soviet Russian army on the front line of Heilongjiang completely broke the previous tacit understanding with the imperial army, openly provided a large amount of arms to the Manchurian rebels (Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces), and even directly crossed the border to attack our military post!

In order to prevent Russia from taking advantage of the fire, the garrison group in the only intact Northeast region (Northeast region of Japan, that is, Sendai, Akita, and Hokkaido north of Tokyo) had to be put on alert and could not be easily mobilized.The Kwantung Army in Manchuria has already fought fierce battles with the Chinese rebels in Manchuria. At the same time, it has to deal with the pressure of the Soviet Russian heavy army group.

As for the North Korean army... it had been transferred to the Shandong battlefield before to replace the Sixth Division, which was exhausted and exhausted after a long battle. "

But when it came to this point, Shouyi in the temple changed the subject again, "...after all the calculations, the only place in the whole country that is relatively peaceful is Taiwan under my jurisdiction. And I am also clear that if this counterattack Even if Taiwan is not victorious, Taiwan will not be guaranteed! All, in order to ensure that the Shanghai Raiders can be implemented, I have spared all of Taiwan's troops, including the Taiwan Garrison, the First Infantry Regiment in Taipei, the Second Infantry Regiment in Tainan, The 2rd Infantry Regiment in Taichung, the Mountain Artillery Battalion in Taipei, the Heavy Artillery Battalion in Keelung, and the Magong Heavy Artillery Battalion in Penghu. They also summoned Taiwan’s retired soldiers from the countryside and used the reserve ordnance to form two reserve brigades, totaling about [-] Ten thousand people have assembled in Keelung, and they can board the ship at any time. I will personally lead them to attack Shanghai in the north. If they fail, they will be benevolent! Mr. Nanyun, please take care of your fleet this time!"

——Looking at Lieutenant General Shouyi in the temple who suddenly lowered his head, Major General Nanyun Chuichi couldn't help but burst into tears.

However, what Major General Nanyun Zhongyi did not know was that at the same time that the Japanese navy and army were searching for all their forces in Taiwan and attempting to attack Shanghai, Korean soldiers such as Kim Koo and Li Dongning of the "Republic of Korea Government-in-Exile" were also riding on several brand-new ships. The motor sailing boat, loaded with Japanese-style guns and ammunition seized by the Chinese Red Army before, sailed vigorously on the East China Sea, preparing to return to North Korea to start an uprising, and set a big fire in the backyard of the Japanese Empire.

What Major General Nanyun Zhongyi didn't even know was that the traversers had already packed up their belongings from Shanghai, which had been searched clean, and took Ms. Occupied Guangzhou... (to be continued...)
