    Lieutenant General Morita was very depressed. After sending the telegram to Prince Zain, he washed his neck and resigned himself to waiting for the punishment from the Home Defense Headquarters. He was mentally prepared to go to the military court, but  In the midst of despair, there is a glimmer of hope.

    The reply from Prince Zairen arrived. After reading the telegram, Lieutenant General Morita shed tears of gratitude. The content of the telegram was the simplest four words, "Take a warning!" There was not even a word of reprimand.

    At that moment, Lieutenant General Morita regarded Prince Zain as his savior. He swore to guard the gate to the northwest of Honshu Island for His Highness the Prince. Even if he died in battle, he would not leave. He swore allegiance to His Highness the Prince, and this loyalty  turned into practical action.

    Lieutenant General Morita personally rushed to the front line to take command. Regarding the small-scale local attack by the Niangziguan garrison, he changed the previous tactics that he had not been able to defend, adopted a head-on style of play, used attack to attack, and carried out local counterattacks.

    The Japanese army changed from their usual ferocity and used a different style of fighting regardless of casualties. The Niangziguan garrison troops encountered difficulties in the partial small-scale attack. The commanders of the brigades on the front line called the corps headquarters one after another to request the commander Feng Jiwu.  Approved, a full-line offensive was launched against the Japanese army, taking down the Japanese army's third line of defense in one fell swoop, and advancing the battlefield to the Hiroshima line.

    Feng Jiwu didn't take it seriously and rejected all the brigade commanders' requests for war. He said to Chief of Staff Zhang Hansheng: "One hundred thousand Italian soldiers surrendered before the battle, helped us dig holes, and ate nearly one hundred thousand little devils. That  Morita is anxious. This way, he can firmly attract the main force of the Japanese army in the northwest of Honshu Island and command the troops to take advantage of the opportunity of the Japanese army to counterattack. "

    On the battlefield in the northwest of Honshu Island, Japanese troops and division troops came and went.  The fighting was fierce. On the northeastern battlefield, the Japanese army faced strong pressure from the division's right-wing offensive group. The Japanese did not know when hundreds of thousands of division troops would cross the Tsugaru Strait?

    Prince Zai Ren had to ensure that Honshu Island would not be occupied by division troops. He concentrated all the troops he could mobilize on the northwest and northeast battlefields. At this time, more than 90 central attack groups under the personal command of Tang Qiuli  Thousands of vanguard troops.  The troops were divided into three groups and began to land on the line from Kanazawa to Xinwu on Honshu Island.

    On the third day after the left-wing attack group of Feng Jiwu and Ma Chaoyang, and the right-wing attack group of Sun Zhenbang and Yuan Jinghao, successively made strong landings in the northwest area of ??Honshu Island and the northern area of ??Hokkaido, the huge troop carrier formation of the center attack group and  The escort fleet appeared on the Sea of ??Japan.

    A day ago, Chutian¡¯s special operations detachment had sneaked into Sado Island and the Noto Peninsula area.  The Japanese ground radar stations in these two areas were successfully eliminated, and the Japanese army's eyes and ears were knocked out. When the East Point Force's fifteen brigades, more than 230,000 people, landed in Sangotsu.  Little resistance was encountered, not just in the Joetsu area, but also in the Kanazawa and Xinwu areas.  The 29th Corps Jingzhan Banner Department and troops directly under the command landed.  It was also extremely smooth.

    The Japanese army¡¯s attention was attracted by the left-wing attack group and the right-wing attack group.  The defense forces on the front line from Kanazawa to Shinwu are pitifully weak. There are only some newly formed second-class divisions with less than 100,000 troops to defend the northern and central areas of Honshu Island and the hundreds of kilometers of coastline. In the powerful divisions  In front of the landing troops, the Japanese resistance was like a snowball falling into boiling water without even a splash.

    Under the protection of the special guards, Tang Qiuli stepped out of the landing ship and set foot on the land of Japan. He looked at the undulating hills stretching out in front of him. At that moment, his inner emotions could not be described in words. Two people have lived together.  His biggest wish was to conquer the Japanese archipelago. Now, finally stepping on Japanese soil, he found that he was not as excited and excited as he had imagined.

    This island country and the people on it have been the feud and sworn enemy of the Chinese nation for hundreds of years. Even in the previous life, the Japanese were still ambitious and wolfish. Now, they finally have the ability to take this island country and the people on it.  , stepped under his feet, and eliminated the serious troubles for the Chinese nation. In Tang Qiuli's heart, there was a heavy feeling of changing history, and an indescribable relief.

    "The division commander, the deputy commander of Jingzhan Banner of the 29th Corps, and the commander of the East Point Force called respectively. The troops have landed in Kanazawa and Joetsu and are being launched in accordance with the requirements of the combat plan!" Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe came over.  The report also interrupted Tang Qiuli's thoughts.

    "Okay!" Tang Qiuli nodded and said, with no excitement on his expression. The Japanese he was facing now had been defeated. After the central attack group landed, the Japanese were destined to be destroyed, he thought.  After a moment, he said: "Order the Jingzhan Banner of the 29th Corps to immediately move westward to attack Fukui and Qibu, threatening Kyoto and Otsu, and threatening the rear flank of the Japanese troops in the northwest of Honshu Island."

    "The East Point troops attack southward and occupy Nagano and Toyama! Procurement of Tokyo?Threatening situation, the brigades directly under the corps attacked eastward and captured Fukushima, Sendai and Yamagata, forming a pincer attack on the Japanese troops in the Aokang area!  "

    "Brother Akio's southern offensive force is probably feeling uncomfortable now. The southern offensive force refers to the Korean Railway Department of the Marine Corps. They immediately land on Shikoku Island and are responsible for annihilating the Japanese troops on the island. The Sulu Mobile Corps troops are on Honshu Island.  Shizuoka in the south, carry out the landing, and be responsible for capturing Nagoya!¡±

    Zhao Yuhe was shocked. He knew that the division commander was going to deliver the final blow to the Japanese. The offensive troops on the southern route had been silent during this period. Even the air strikes on the southern part of Honshu Island had basically stopped. Now they were suddenly activated.  , is undoubtedly the prelude to the decisive battle.

    However, Zhao Yuhe was still a little confused about the division commander's order. All troops were mainly engaged in fighting in the peripheral areas of Tokyo. For example, the Sulu Mobile Corps of the southern offensive force could land in Yokohama and directly command troops.  Tokyo, leveraging the Japanese army's overall defense system, or the more than 230,000 troops of the East Point Force, attacking directly south from Joetsu, can also threaten the Japanese army's defense circle in Tokyo.

    The Sulu Mobile Corps and the East Point Force are attacking the Japanese capital Tokyo from the north and the south. Why did the division commander abandon it? Detailed intelligence has shown that the Japanese defense force in the areas around Tokyo is only more than 400,000. The East Point and  The total strength of the Sulu Mobile Corps exceeds 600,000. Zhao Yuhe expressed his doubts frankly in the form of suggestions. This is also the duty of the chief of staff.

    Tang Qiuli smiled and explained patiently: "Tokyo, the capital of Japan, is the last and inevitable place of death for the Japanese, and it is also the place for the final decisive battle. However, the conditions for a decisive battle are not yet mature. Don't forget, in  There are still more than 1.3 million Japanese troops in the northwest and northeastern areas of Honshu Island. In addition, Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island have not yet been completely occupied. We must surround Tokyo without any worries! "

    "If we eat all the Japanese troops except Tokyo, Tokyo will be an isolated city. How to fight and how long to fight? The initiative is in our hands. Isn't it more exciting to catch a turtle in a urn?"

    Kyoto, the seat of the headquarters of Japan¡¯s Homeland Defense Zone, the information that the division¡¯s central attack group, with more than 900,000 troops, had landed on the line from Kanazawa to Shinwu on Honshu Island, was transmitted here as quickly as possible.

    During this period, Prince Zain has been racking his brains to improve the defense of Honshu Island. He had just finished handling a mess of military affairs, and before he had time to rest, Lieutenant General Yoshioka Sotake, the chief of staff, bumped into him with a pale face.  Come in, "Your Highness, the staff department has received reports that the China Division troops have landed in Kanazawa, Joetsu and Xinwu respectively, with a strength of approximately 900,000!"

    "Our defense strength in the above-mentioned areas is only more than 100,000, and they are all second-class divisions. They are unable to prevent the landing of the China Division troops. Now Fukui and Qibu, Nagano and Toyama, Fukushima, Sendai and Yamagata and other places,  They are all calling for reinforcements!¡±

    "Impossible!" Prince Zai Ren seemed to have received an electric shock. His eyes instantly became bloodshot. He jumped up suddenly and shouted: "Why was there no warning in advance? Don't we have ground radar stations on Sado Island and Noto Peninsula?  ? Why didn't you call the police in advance? Could it be that more than 900,000 Chinese soldiers fell from the sky? "

    "Also, why aren't reconnaissance planes sent out to conduct uninterrupted reconnaissance of the Sea of ??Japan? Chief of Staff Yoshioka, who can answer these questions?" Prince Zain's eyes were red, like a hungry wolf about to eat people.  Staring directly at Lieutenant General Yoshioka.

    Chief of Staff Yoshioka was speechless. Not only him, but any senior officer of the empire could not explain it. If he had to ask for an answer, he could only say that the China Division troops were in the northwest and northeastern areas of Honshu Island.  The attack involved all the energy and attention of the Home Defense Headquarters, or perhaps that Chinese devil Tang Qiuli was too cunning and landed in the empire from an unexpected place.

    More seriously, this was a mistake by the high command, which concentrated its forces on the battlefields at both ends of Honshu Island, resulting in extremely weak defense forces in the northern and central areas of Honshu Island, thus giving the Chinese an opportunity.  But these words cannot be uttered. Prince Zai Ren is now responsible for all local defense operations. A series of troop deployments and operational decisions are made by His Royal Highness.

    Accusing the supreme commander of improper deployment is tantamount to pointing your finger at Prince Zain and saying that he is full of mud and has made poor command decisions. Not to mention the consequences, even if you say it bluntly, can you change the status quo?

    Chief of Staff Yoshioka thought painfully, and the answer was of course no. It was not that he did not dare to get into trouble, and his backstage background was definitely a force that could compete with Prince Zain, but it was useless and could not solve any problems.  Therefore, the only option is to remain silent.
