Chapter 965: Attacking the Land of Kinki
The Japanese were still defending the Americans, and the main force of the Japanese Navy was slower to draw back. They also had to transport the army back. Two weeks before the negotiations between Japan and the United States, the Japanese fighter jets that returned early and the local army launched a counterattack against China.
After continuing to guard Atsuga on the east side, gradually controlling the surrounding area of Lake Biwa and relying on the terrain to intercept reinforcements from the east, the main attack direction of the landing Chinese army was to go west, gradually conquering Fukuchiyama and Toyaka, and together with the Chinese army that landed in Songe and occupied Yoneko, they attacked Kura Yoshiki and Totoe.
As China expanded outwardly in Wakasa Bay, the Japanese were a little impatient and began to draw more defensive troops such as Kobe, Osaka, Kyoto, Nagoya, etc. to support Wakasa Bay nearby.
The emergency on Kyushu Island also caused the Japanese to mobilize troops from Hiroshima, Fukuyama and other places, as well as the troops on Shikoku Island.
Japan faced the Whale Sea side of the city, and was as if it was facing a great enemy, did not dare to draw troops. However, after signing a secret agreement with the United States, the Japanese transferred elite troops on the defensive Pacific side to Kyushu and Wakasa Bay, and even half of the troops around Tokyo Bay were transferred.
More militias are being organized, and the first batch of 100,000 Japanese veterans who returned to their homeland to fight overseas were also withdrawing, which made the Japanese feel a little at ease. More importantly, as the summer and autumn seasons, the number of typhoons in the Whale Sea gradually increased, and the supply ships traveling in the Whale Sea suddenly decreased. This made the Japanese feel like the kamikaze of the Yuan Dynasty, as if there were divine helps.
The Chinese army, following the instructions of its superiors, put more energy into stabilizing defense and was busy with the plundering operations in the occupied land, also gave the Japanese an illusion that the Chinese offensive was weak.
So he hurriedly drew the main force of the local area, thinking that he could add a handful of oil and the Chinese could rush into the sea.
But they once again ignored the most sharp airborne tactics in China. Or they were confident that they were alert and that there were a large number of fighter planes returning.
However, as the Japanese's aerial strength was weakened, the sky on Japan's mainland was once again ruled by China.
As Meng Xiang issued an order to launch the second phase of the planned offensive, on October 3, layers of dark clouds rolled up again over the Japanese mainland.
The formation of more than 3,000 transport aircraft, more than 2,000 bombers and escort fighter aircraft covered the clouds and the airflow rolled up by the propeller shattered the clouds from afar, revealing hideousness to the Japanese main island below.
Where the Japanese heavy troops gathered, they were bombed with metallic luster. White umbrellas floated over the developed cities of industrial and commercial development or military areas such as Hiroshima, Wu, Kobe, Kyoto, Osaka, Nagoya, etc.
Wu was the stronghold of the Japanese Navy and one of the top ten cities in Japan at that time.
The Wu Navy factory is the center construction site of Japanese naval ships, and its employees are the sum of the three factories Yokosuka, Saga and Maizuru. There are various machinery and equipment of all sizes that Meng Xiang covets.
With the close bombardment of the vanguard artillery and the nearby support of the sub-base building, Saga and another important Japanese shipbuilding base, Nagasaki, have mostly fallen into the hands of the Chinese army. Nagasaki Shipyard and Mitsubishi Military Industrial Base in Nagasaki were controlled by the Chinese army and started dismantling before the Japanese could blow it up.
Hiroshima is also an extremely important heavy industrial base and military base in Japan. The atomic bomb project secretly developed by the Japanese was the main base in Hiroshima.
Not to mention the various cultural relics that are also covered with traces of China in Kyoto, as well as the wealth gathered by one of the core industrial and commercial districts of Japan such as Kobe and Osaka, the Kobe and Osaka Arsenal alone made Meng Xiang reluctant to let go. There is also a Nagoya Arsenal, Aichi Prefecture, known as the four largest arsenals in Japan.
After both Manchukuo and North Korea were recovered by China, relying on advance calculations and protection, the two Japanese carefully operated arsenals in Chenyang and Incheon fell into the hands of China without any damage. They are now turning to specializing in the production of weapons with the new standards of China.
The only four Japanese continental armies are the Tokyo Kokura Arsenal and Nagoya.
For the Tokyo area where the defense is particularly tight, it is unrealistic for Meng Xiang to capture the spoils without damage.
Tokyo is the goal of the third phase of this plan. Through multi-faceted pressure, the troops around Osaka Bay have been mobilized much weaker and are close to the direct jurisdiction of the sub-base, so the goal this time is these places.
After all, the number of airborne troops and firepower was inherently insufficient. If it weren't for the nearby Wakasa Bay that had hidden a large army that was about to attack the Kansai area as the main force, Meng Xiang would not dare to recklessly rely on airborne troops to conquer Nagoya and the entire Aichi Prefecture without the support of the base.
Now there is a 100,000 army that rushed from Wakasa Bay. The mission of the airborne troops is to take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, occupy various strategic goals, and strive for the arrival of the army to save the fruits of victory from being forced to break the Japanese.
So far, most Japanese people are still holding the idea of repelling the Chinese and regaining these belongings from the Chinese.
However, China's crazy demolition in Hokkaido and Kitakyushu has made many Japanese people worried, and they have asked for a broken heart and not left to China's enemies.
The top Japanese executives are still hesitating. After all, it is destroyed. If they want to build those equipment, it may take at least a few years, or even longer. This will undoubtedly delay Japan's resurgence and even become a fisherman in China and America.
"Even if the Chinese can move these to China, we can move them back in the future!" Many Japanese comforted themselves in this way.
However, there are also a few crazy Japanese who are in a daze and want to die with their factories and some property.
Meng Xiang doesn't care about it at all. Many of the Japanese equipment are already broken and cannot keep up with the pace of future electrification development. If China hadn't had a big family and had a big business, it needed more equipment to support its assets and pursue quantity first, Meng Xiang would not look down on these.
Now Germany is busy with war, and Americans sell equipment to China less. In order to promote the industrialization process on a large scale, they can only use it first, and then modernize and upgrade or accelerate depreciation as soon as possible.
Based on the principle that mosquito meat is also meat, when the Chinese army swept across the country, it can keep more equipment and supplies as much as possible without jeopardizing its own safety. Moreover, the places where the Chinese airborne troops rushed to control this time are the essence of Japanese industry, and many of the equipment are currently at the advanced level in the world.
Some second-rate goods that the Japanese moved to China in their previous lives were used by the Chinese for centuries. These heavyweight equipment were not specifically protected by Meng Xiang, and there were also various scientific and technological information accumulated by the Japanese.
Many technical data in industry are obtained through a lot of money and time spent, through dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of experiments.
Even if you have money, you may not be able to accumulate quickly. Although Meng Xiang is willing to invest, he lacks time to accumulate and is still lacking in some fields in China. Although he has technical support from Germany and the United States, some Japanese research has its own characteristics.
Among them, the Japanese can use a large number of human bodies to conduct experiments without any scruples, and accumulate a lot of first-hand information for their medical and biochemical research that others cannot obtain. Many relevant research materials from Americans are obtained from the Japanese.
The Japanese were able to rise rapidly after World War II because of their solid foundation. Through the plundering of wealth and the energy of craziness for war, the Japanese digested and made up for many basic shortcomings of the industry.
If China takes advantage of the strengths of others, it will definitely be better.
In order to better absorb the fruits of the Japanese labor, Meng Xiang even planned to abduct those Japanese experts and scientific and technological personnel.
No matter when, talents are the source of continuous wealth and inspiration. If they can be used, they will squeeze out their last slightest value. When they cannot be used, they will never be left to the Japanese.
...
When Japan's reinforcements drawn from various places gathered around Lake Biwa, gathered between Kyoto and Maizuru, preparing to have a decisive battle with China and win in one battle, China's tank and armored troops rushed over first.
Due to the inconvenience of transportation and the lack of sub-base support, after accumulating so many days in Wakasa Bay, China has only gathered more than 1,200 assault tanks.
However, this was enough. More than 600 tanks were dispatched in Kyoto and Nagoya, which was enough to drill a big hole in the Japanese reinforcements. The 20,000 mechanized infantrymen on multi-functional infantry vehicles in the rear swept across the Japanese defense line in a gust of wind and rushed straight to the fragile Kinki area behind.
The main army was transferred to the front line and the Japanese could only watch the departure of the Chinese armored vehicles, and then the motorized infantry from behind were torn into a larger hole on the defense line and repeatedly crushed.
Even though the main force of the tank troops and the storm swept into the Kinki metropolitan area, the bulky tanks such as the Tiger King and numerous heavy self-propelled artillery remained, enough to ravage the Japanese defense line over and over again.
