Agents of the Republic of China

Chapter 403 Cannon Fodder

The 34th year of the Republic of China was also the 20th year of Showa in Japan. It was destined to be a chaotic and restless year.The early spring of this year came late, and it was not until mid-April that the weather became a little warmer, and there were some green buds on the bare branches.But for all the war-torn people in this world, this year means much more than that.

In April, news came from Europe that the Russian army had entered Germany, and the vanguard of the Allied forces had also entered the western border of Germany. Throat of the German Empire. On the 25th, the Allied forces and the Russian army successfully joined forces at the Elbe River, encircled the army, and began the final battle on the European battlefield. On the 28th, Mussolini, the leader of Italy, was executed. On the [-]th, the Russian army conquered Berlin before the Allies. The Third Reich aided Hitler and committed suicide.

Japan became the only remaining member of the Axis powers and fell into a desperate situation.After the U.S. Army conquered Iwo Jima, the soldiers arrived in Okinawa, which is only a short distance from the Japanese mainland.The Japanese Southern Army, the Chinese Dispatch Army, the Kwantung Army and the mainland completely lost their transportation channels, and were divided into several major groups, waiting for the coming doomsday in fear.

The panorama of Myanmar has been successfully recovered by the Chinese Expeditionary Force. The Expeditionary Force Xiao Shanling, Sun Liren and other ministries have entered the Philippines and Thailand. The Southern Army has lost the supplies in the rear and can only rely on fortifications and fortified cities to garrison.On the Chinese battlefield, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, which belonged to the anti-Japanese base areas, have launched a full-scale counterattack, launching a final counterattack against the Japanese army from behind the enemy lines. ** The main force attacked from Hubei, Hunan, and Sichuan to chase down the remnants of the enemy.Even the puppet troops in the occupied areas began to surrender in an organized way with a large amount of equipment.The Japanese troops in North China, Jiangsu and Zhejiang could only huddle in the cities, terrified all day long.

The Russian Far East troops have also begun to assemble. A large number of tanks and armored troops are advancing towards Manchuria in Northeast China. The Kwantung Army has been building a large number of reinforced concrete fortifications since last year, hoping to resist the upcoming full-line attack of the Russian army. Hokkaido In the waters near the first line, ships of the Russian Far East Fleet began to appear frequently.

"It seems that your actions are quite fast!" Lin Xiaotang sipped his tea casually, and looked across at Takeda Yoshio, whose face was slightly flushed from excitement.

For more than half a year, Takeda Yoshio has always abided by his duties and stayed firmly by Lin Xiaotang's side. Although no one supervised him, the two of them also maintained an exceptional sobriety and tacit understanding.After all, this is a tiger's den and a wolf's den.

Takeda Takeda was quite disapproving of Lin Xiaotang's initial suggestion. Although he was a staunch supporter of the Soviet Union, his understanding of Japan also made him not have much confidence in Lin Xiaotang's plan.

However, the frequent accidents in the past six months have forced him to re-evaluate and examine this unattractive young man.

The turmoil in Kyushu is still in full swing until today. The government troops in Kyushu and the crusade troops sent by the base camp have always been powerless against the elusive rebels. The government army sighed, which reminded Takeda Yoshio of the guerrillas who had been active on the battlefield behind China's enemy lines from beginning to end.

"It's only a matter of time before the Americans capture Okinawa. If we don't take any action, I'm afraid it will be too late." Takeda Yoshio licked his lips.

Lin Xiaotang smiled knowingly. Compared with the Americans and Russians, he was actually more afraid of Russia. There was no other reason, but because China and Russia were adjacent. Such a powerful neighbor was on the side of the couch. , that is absolutely impossible.However, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is true that such a powerful opponent is needed to access Asian affairs. Otherwise, the dominance of the American family is definitely not a good thing for China.

Now that there is already a precedent in Germany, it is advisable to do the same with the Japanese, at least to obtain a rare balance. In this way, the importance of China will be revealed without a doubt.

"I heard a strange thing yesterday." Takeda Yoshio changed the subject. "The armed forces of Kyushu have already conquered Nagasaki, but in less than three days, they abandoned this city and went south to attack the Amakusa Islands. Why is that?"

As soon as Takeda Yoshio finished speaking, his eyes fixed on Lin Xiaotang.This action of the Kyushu Revolutionary Army made him suspicious for no reason.Nagasaki, as an important stronghold in Kitakyushu, firmly guards Kitakyushu and even Kyushu’s westward estuary to the sea. It is also an important channel for transportation and communication between the Kyushu area and the outside world. Since the turmoil was caused by Lin Xiaotang, he will not be ignorant of Nagasaki. The importance of Saki to the whole battle situation, how could he give up so easily?

Lin Xiaotang stretched lazily, leaning his body into the sunlight coming in from outside the house. "You know, I'm in Kanto now, and I can't get involved in Kyushu's military. Maybe their chief officer has other plans and made decisions based on actual needs. I'm a very self-aware person, the military commander It's not my forte, and it's more appropriate to hand it over to the frontline officers."

Lin Xiaotang's nonchalant answer made Takeda Takeda feel depressed for a while.This nearly one-year relationship has also made him very familiar with the city of the ally and future opponent in front of him. Although he knows that he still can't see through it, he can't figure it out, but his instinct tells him that this unusual move by the Kyushu army is absolutely unreasonable. Simple.

Takeda Yoshio snorted.Knowing that Lin Xiaotang was practicing Tai Chi, it was impossible to get his true thoughts, so he simply drank the tea in front of him, got up and left.

As soon as Takeda Yoshio left, Huoyan rushed in excitedly, "Seventh brother, something happened in Hiroshima!"

Lin Xiaotang took the telegram from him, glanced at it hastily, lit it with a lighter, and looked at Huoyan's excited expression, but there was a hint of worry on his face, "Notify Gao Yingpei, The progress of the plan needs to be accelerated, so Nagasaki might as well leave more cannon fodder. Since Hirohito sent Asaka Miya Hatohiko to counter the rebellion, let him be buried with Nagasaki!"

……

Looking at Nagasaki Castle in front of him, Fukuda Heihachiro couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.Fukuda never thought of getting to this point.Originally, I just wanted to fill my stomach with my friends, but unexpectedly, I became the leader of this turmoil. Although the government forced the people to rebel, I suddenly stood up to His Majesty the Emperor who has always worshiped and believed in him The opposite of this kind of transformation is also difficult for Fukuda to accept.Fortunately, even if the leaders of the Chamber of Commerce put forward the slogan of "Qing Jun's side", Futian was somewhat comforted. Although he knew that it was just a way of talking, Futian always felt that his original intention was like this.

In less than half a year, Fukuda Heihachiro's subordinates have gathered more than [-] hungry people from all over Kyushu. Among them are some retired veterans who have been unfairly treated, and most of them are frustrated officers who were forced to transfer to the reserve.

Several times, these frustrated officers wanted to control this armed force, and Fukuda also understood that he was by no means an opponent of these so-called samurai masters, regardless of seniority, family background and knowledge.But these frustrated officers have never been able to fulfill their wishes. On the contrary, many people died because of this. The reason is that the Chamber of Commerce has always firmly supported Fukuda Heihachiro behind him.

Fukuda Heihachiro didn't read much, and he knew very little truth, but he knew very well that with the support of this magical chamber of commerce, people like himself would definitely not be able to persist today, and it is impossible for so many people to join him.

Because the logistical supplies of the entire army are firmly in the hands of the chamber of commerce.Weapons, ammunition, food, etc., without the support of the Chamber of Commerce, the army could not last for a week.

Futian vaguely felt that he was just a puppet pulling strings, but the end of the thread was always firmly in the hands of the chamber of commerce. If he wanted to survive and get everything he wanted, he had to obey the orders of the chamber of commerce.

The leader of the chamber of commerce finally showed up. He was a bloated middle-aged man with a harmless smile on his face. Throughout the year, there was a little sweat on his fat and white face. Wearing a handkerchief, talking to anyone is soft-spoken.

But Fukuda Heihachiro didn't think so. Every time he got close to the fat leader of the chamber of commerce, he couldn't help but feel a piercing chill.Futian has been on the battlefield, and he knows exactly what this is, it is a murderous aura that cannot be concealed.

Fukuda Heihachiro saw with his own eyes that the fat leader killed nine officers who tried to seize command of the army while talking and laughing. He didn't even use a gun, but a samurai sword full of rust and with gaps, and he chopped it down himself. The heads of those nine people were removed.In Japan, this is the highest level of punishment for the defeated.

But today, Fukuda Heihachiro had to come to the fat leader nervously.

The fat leader was still smiling, and when he saw Futian, the smile on his face was even wider, which made Futian feel even more uncertain, and even his voice trembled a little.He had no choice but to stammer and explain why Nagasaki could not be given up.

The fat leader patiently listened to Fukuda Heihachiro's explanation, and couldn't help laughing, the fat on his face trembled. "Mr. Fukuda, your opinion is very correct. The reason why we made the decision to give up before was indeed that we did not think carefully. But you must also consider specific factors. His Majesty the Emperor has appointed Asaka Palace Hatohiko as the commander of the Crusade Army, Kyushu Crusade The [-] elite troops are under his command, and they are now close to an area less than [-] kilometers away from Nagasaki, and they can get here in just a few words!"

After hearing this, Fukuda wanted to defend himself again.But the fat leader quickly waved his hand, "Don't get me wrong, Fukuda-kun, I agree with your suggestion. In this way, as the supreme commander of the army, it is not appropriate for you to stick to Nagasaki, and your deputy Aoyama-kun can serve as Nagasaki guard The commander of the army stayed behind, and he led the main force to stand firm, you and I still have to withdraw, and immediately organize troops to counter-encircle around Nagasaki, and eat the crusade army in one go, how about it?"

Fukuda was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Your decision is extremely wise, and I will definitely implement it!"
