Chapter 1317
Just when Ouyang Yun decided to take the initiative to attack the Japanese 11th Army, Japan, Tokyo and Nagasaki, the Japanese Military Headquarters and the Joint Fleet Command, headed by Seishiro Sakagaki and Toshiichiro Koizumi, and two groups of Japanese were also discussing The next South China War.The initiator of this battle was Yamamoto 56, but because Japan has always been strong in land and weak in sea, the commander-in-chief was positioned as the current commander of the Chinese dispatched army, Shunliu Hata.In Yamamoto 56's letter of advice, the pros and cons of this campaign are already very clear.The advantage is that it can not only solve the serious problem of the Xuebing Army at one time, but also occupy Fujian, Guangdong and Qiong, thereby opening up a new land passage to Chongqing; the disadvantage, Yamamoto 56 believes that during the campaign, it may be possible for the Central Army Taking advantage of other anti-Japanese armed forces, they were encroached on part of the occupied area.However, when we arrived at the base camp, the harm caused by this malpractice was minimized through the appearance of Japanese Cabinet Prime Minister Nobuyuki Abe. Among them, Xue Yuebu's voluntary withdrawal from Gao'an was the masterpiece of him and his subordinates.

The Japanese military headquarters in Tokyo, Seishiro Sakagaki personally presided over the meeting. After nearly ten hours of discussions day and night, a combat plan was finally formulated. In this combat plan, the Japanese Army will dispatch three front armies, three land combat aviation The corps are the 2nd Army built by Hisao Nishio, the 11th Army of Neiji Okamura, and the South China Front Army of Matsui Iwane, the First Aviation Corps, the Second Aviation Corps, and the Fifth Aviation Corps.In terms of the navy, the combined fleet will be divided into four, with four aircraft carriers as flagships to become the first to fourth aircraft carrier fleets, and cooperate with a division of the Marine Corps and the First Guards Division to implement them from the coastal areas of Fujian and Guangzhou. Landing battle.

Deploying so many troops at once is a huge test for the Japanese army's logistics system. The army is okay, after all, it can collect food on the spot. In addition, the arsenal located in Nanjing and Shanghai can also solve part of the ammunition problem, but the navy's supplies can only trouble.The failure of the Hainan campaign dealt a heavy blow to the navy's logistics supply fleet, and then something happened that made Yamamoto very embarrassed. In a hurry, they couldn't find so many supply ships.

For the navy's supply issue alone, a group of devils discussed it for three hours. In the end, Narumi Inoue, who was demoted, came up with a solution, thinking that it would be better to set up a supply base in Taiwan instead of sending supplies to the navy from the base camp. First gather the combined fleet to go to Taiwan twice, use fighters to help Kobayashi create a stable situation in Taiwan, and at the same time carry a large amount of supplies to Taiwan, and then supply from Taiwan. In that case, the time saved is not counted, and the ships required decrease very much.

Since the "Kaga" was attacked in Nagasaki, Yamamoto 56's personality has changed drastically, from "doves" to "hawks", all the former navy "doves" have been purged.Narumi Inoue, Yamamoto, and Minai Mitsumasa were known in the Japanese military circles as the "Navy Iron Triangle", but this time they were not spared.Inoue knew how to be flexible. After finding out that the atmosphere of the navy had completely changed, he immediately changed his style and began to try to get together with Yamamoto again. When he made this suggestion at this time, it can be said that he was playing in Yamamoto's arms.No, after he made this suggestion, Yamamoto looked at him differently.

The navy's supply problem has been solved, and the next step is the problem of land and sea coordinated operations.There has always been a rivalry between the Japanese navy and the army, and the top officer in active service in the navy has changed his temper recently. Sakagaki and other senior army officials thought this would be a waste of time, but Yamamoto was surprisingly cooperative and agreed that this battle should be dominated by the army. , the navy will do its best to cooperate.

The pre-war meeting at the Tokyo base camp went well, but the meeting of the Nagasaki Combined Fleet was a bit difficult.

Although Toshiichiro Koizumi has gained Yamamoto's unreserved trust, but his qualifications are too low, and he made a defeat in the Hainan campaign. Therefore, except for the direct descendants of Yamamoto's lineage, other naval officers are very unimpressed with him. Some people questioned the legitimacy of Koizumi's status.In the end, it was Tsukahara [-] and Arima Masafun, the two newly promoted powers, who managed to forcefully pass Koizumi's decision at the meeting.

Koizumi and others held a meeting on the "Kaga". The Nagasaki Naval Port area was already a busy scene. Vehicles transporting various supplies came and went, and "big mountains" piled up on the pier. In the United Fleet camp a little farther away, a large number of soldiers flocked here to start the pre-departure training—but within a few days, Nagasaki became a war machine and began to operate crazily.

When Japan was carrying out the final mobilization for the South China Campaign, Toshiroro Hata, the headquarters of the Chinese Expeditionary Army in Nanjing, invited Wang Zhaoming to meet him and began to vaccinate him about the South China Campaign.

"Wang Sang, the empire has decided to eradicate the greatest scourge of the student army. During this period, because the main force of the empire will go south to fight, the occupied areas and the front lines of the Kuomintang-controlled areas can only rely on you."

During this period of time, Wang Zhaoming's life was not easy.As early as a month ago, Ouyang Yun had a premonition that the Japanese army might "make a big move" against the student army. From this, he deduced that if the Japanese army really did this, many occupied areas would have to rely on the puppet army to maintain it, so Hu Tong still had Langya ordered them to start punishing traitors in the occupied area.By the time Wang Zhaoming was summoned by Hata Junliu, nearly a hundred "well-known" traitors had been killed or assassinated by Xue Bingjun lords in many places. At the same time, he also began to worry about his own safety - Xue Bingjun killed all the traitors who were not very bad, and naturally it was impossible to let him, the leader of the traitors, go.And as long as he thinks that he has dealt with Mu Jiandie and Guo Kui, the two leaders of Xuebingjun Hutong and Langya, he can't help but feel cold all over, for fear that a bullet will suddenly jump out and fly towards him——

The Japanese want to concentrate their efforts to deal with the Xuebing Army, which is naturally a good thing for Wang Zhaoming and his like, but thinking that the city of Nanjing will become the world of the Chinese people because of the withdrawal of the Japanese army, and this will definitely make it easier for the Xuebing Army to assassinate. Wang Zhaoming, who had already developed a sense of fear for his compatriots, couldn't help but feel chills.

Unknowingly sweating on his forehead, Wang Zhaoming took out a handkerchief and wiped it, and replied respectfully: "The imperial army will clear us of dissident forces, which will definitely speed up the reunification process of the Republic of China, which is what Zhaoming wishes for. Your Excellency Hata Jun, please rest assured. Although the strength of our Central Army is not as strong as the Imperial Army, we still have certain advantages over those local separatist forces. Here, I would like to wish your Excellency a successful victory, an early victory over the Xuebing Army, and a triumphant return. Your Excellency, are all the imperial troops near Nanjing City going to move out?"

"Yes!"

"Well, what about my garrison?"

The Japanese called it protection, but they were actually monitoring. They arranged a squadron of elite military police next to Wang Zhaoming.Wang Zhaoming was disgusted by this at first, but judging from what he said now, he really wanted to keep this gendarme.

Hata Junroku obviously understood the meaning behind his words, glanced at him, and smiled: "Wang Sang, don't worry, this gendarme, we will let it continue to protect your safety. Wang Sang, the war is coming soon, I will still There are a lot of important affairs that need to be dealt with, and the maintenance of the occupied area is up to you!" After speaking, the old devil bowed to Wang Jingwei.

Wang Jingwei was flattered, and was pleasantly surprised that the gendarmerie squadron protecting him would stay by his side. He quickly returned the gift and said, "Your Excellency, you are too polite. For the sake of Sino-Japanese friendship, this is what I should do."

Hata Junroku raised his head and looked at him, and the two of them immediately said "haha" with a half-smile——
