Chapter 627 Landing in Japan (9)
Two days later, a defensive position that runs across the peninsula and mainly tunnels has been initially built. After all, the lateral distance of the peninsula is only more than 10 kilometers. The People's Army has now captured nearly 10,000 young and middle-aged men's labor force. On average, each person is only responsible for excavating 1 meter, so the construction is naturally very rapid. Of course, the positions built now are only the main defensive positions on the front line, as well as the artillery positions in the rear, the auxiliary logistics positions, etc. have not had time to dig, but the construction can continue. If the Japanese army attacks now, the People's Army can also be in power for a while.
When building the defense line, the People's Army's attack on other parts of the Node Peninsula was also very smooth, and they successively captured Shiga Town, Omizu Town, Hanjima City, Zhusu City, Fengzhu County, Node Town and other places. After all, the Japanese army did not have much force on the Node Peninsula, and was basically a local garrison army. Its combat effectiveness was not strong, and there was no strong attitude like Naoshima Oshima Nagashima, and there was a certain military level of official organization. Therefore, it was naturally no match for the People's Army. Wherever the People's Army went, it was almost unstoppable. It took only two days to completely occupy the entire Node Peninsula.
At the same time, the People's Army also had a rich harvest on the peninsula, plundering a large amount of population and materials. At this time, it had collected more than 1,500 tons of various grains and seafood, and it could also harvest several tons of seafood every day. In addition, there were more than 300 poultry and more than 100 livestock. It can be said that for a considerable period of time, the People's Army would not have food problems. In terms of population, young and middle-aged men, women each had more than 20,000. Now the total population has been captured, so the labor force is completely sufficient.
In addition to food, there are also many other materials plundered, mainly textiles, handicrafts, and gold and silver goods. After all, this time when landing in Japan, in addition to plundering the population, all the stolen ones must be taken away. However, the Neng Peninsula is not a well-developed area in Japan, so there are only these handmade products. Of course, textiles are also important materials in this era. Gold and silver goods are precious metals, and handicrafts are also of course valuable. Anyway, I will grab them first, no matter whether it is useful or not.
On the third day, the People's Army's fleet arrived at the port of Qiwei City and sent all the 2nd Marine Division, the 3rd Reserve Regiment, and the other three armies of the mercenary regiment. At the same time, the fleet was all there. When the transport fleet left, it not only took away most of the supplies, but also took away about 15,000 men and women. This was also the first batch of population supplies plundered by the East China government in Japan. In the following months, it would continue to take away the population and supplies from Japan.
The materials will be sent to Qingdao by the transport fleet, and will be inspected and arranged for use by a special agency; while the population will be sent directly to Lushun, and they will undergo physical examinations and file registration in Lushun. A few skilled workers, with certain cultural knowledge and skilled people will stay and arrange them separately. The rest of the men and women will take the train to Harbin in Lushun, and the local administrative agencies will be responsible for arranging their work and participating in the development of the entire Heilongjiang Province.
However, when the personnel boarded the ship, they did not cause any major resistance, because the People's Army adopted a high-pressure and iron-blooded policy towards the Japanese in the past few days, which suppressed the Japanese's resistance. Moreover, the Japanese were bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and obeying the strong. Therefore, they were all suppressed by the People's Army and did not dare to make any abnormal movements.
But what surprised Luo Yue was that at this time, the Japanese side seemed to have no reaction. At this time, at least a few regiments would be transferred to put pressure on the People's Army and prevent the People's Army from spreading from the Non-Termine Peninsula to the inland. But at this time, there was no sign of the Japanese army. Only on the third day after the People's Army landed on the Non-Termine Peninsula, the Japanese government issued a statement, strongly accusing the East China government of invading Japan in very strict words, and said that Japan would never succumb to the threat of the East China government and would fight to the end. At the same time, it also called on the international community to jointly fight against the East China government, etc.
In fact, the Japanese government is now in chaos because the Japanese navy and army began to tear each other up again. When the People's Army's fleet shelled the southeastern coast of Japan, the navy and army had decided to give up their past grudges and fight against the enemy unanimously. As long as we survive these three months, when the British and French expeditionary forces arrive in the Far East, we can turn defense into offense and enter a counterattack.
Although some people proposed to be cautious about preventing the People's Army from landing on Japan, the Army and the Navy believed that at this time, the East China government would definitely make every effort to prepare for the battle against the British and French expeditionary forces without spending resources on landing on Japan. But to be on the safe side, the Navy and Army issued a document to their opponents, which was the content of the People's Army's possibility of landing on Japan. The Army required the Navy to strengthen the coastal garrison, while the Navy asked the Army to pay attention to coastal defense, but they did not take any defensive measures. In addition to thinking that the East China government could not launch a landing war, there was another important reason, that is, Japan could not defend the entire coastline at all.
As a result, the People's Army was able to successfully land on the peninsula, which caused a great shock to the Japanese government, because before that, the Japanese government tried its best to cover up the adverse military news. However, now the People's Army has landed on Japan, so the defeat on the Chinese battlefield will definitely not be concealed. So government officials accused the military of its mistakes and demanded that the military be fully responsible for the People's Army's landing.
In order to shirk their responsibilities, the Navy and Army accused the other party of the fault that caused the People's Army to land on Japan. They also said with striking remarks that they had reminded the other party, but the other party did not obey. As a result, the Navy and Army accused each other and triggered a battle of fighting. Later, under the joint suppression of Prime Minister Kanetaro, the boss Ito Hirofumi Ito, Aritomoto Yama Prefecture and others, the Navy and Army stopped accusing each other and began to study how to deal with the landing of the People's Army.
However, Yuuki Ito, Minister of the Navy, believes that the People's Army has successfully landed and controlled the landing of the peninsula, so the Navy has actually no place to use its power. After all, warships are not equipped with wheels, so it is impossible to drive ashore. Of course, the Marines can fight, but after all, they are not professional than the Army. Moreover, the Navy suffered a lot in the early wars and has not been supplemented. Therefore, this battle should naturally be the responsibility of the Army, and it has nothing to do with the Navy.
In fact, these reasons for the Navy are not wrong. Of course, the Army must play the leading role in the counterattack of the People's Army, but it would be wrong to say that this battle has nothing to do with the Navy. Although the Navy does suffer a lot of losses, it is still enough to provide the army with necessary help.
However, in the Army's view, it was the Navy that was shirking responsibility and wanted the Army to bear the blame for allowing the People's Army to land. Therefore, Army Minister Masato Nakachi immediately stated that the Army can of course be responsible for attacking the People's Army, but the People's Army's logistics support and transportation all come from the sea. Moreover, due to the special terrain of the peninsula, the People's Army's warships can also provide fire support, requiring the Navy to defeat the People's Army's fleet before the Army can attack and attack.
It is not wrong to say that Masatoshi Desounai’s speech. It is indeed not just a matter of the army. The navy is obliged to provide necessary help to the army, but it must be dominated by the army and supplemented by the navy. In particular, Masatoshi Desounai asked the navy to defeat the People’s Army's fleet, which was indeed a bit difficult for people to do.
Ito Yukihiro immediately stated that the current situation of the navy was impossible to defeat the People's Army's fleet. Masato Desouchi ridiculed the navy for spending so much money on the government, but he was unable to bear the heavy responsibility when he needed the navy.
This also angered Yuki Ito, and immediately refuted that the army's performance in the Chinese battlefield was not as good as the navy. Moreover, after the defeat, the government's military expenditure was basically allocated to the army, which made the army re-submitted. The navy's funds were only compressed and could only maintain the status quo and could not rebuild. Now that Japan is in a crisis, it is of course for the army to contribute. And Masato Tetsu was naturally not to be outdone, saying that before the war, most of the military expenditure was occupied by the navy, and the construction of the flashy "Six Six Fleet" squeezed the army's space. Even if the navy's military expenditure was only transferred half to the army, the army would be enough to defeat the Russian and East China governments, and there was no need for the navy to do anything.
As a result, the two sides became more and more irresistible. The Japanese Navy and Army had a deep resentment, but now it broke out all of a sudden, and many old adult accounts were also revealed, so of course they could not continue to negotiate.
The Navy and Army quarreled for three days and fought all kinds of fights every day, but the People's Army was not idle. Since the Japanese army did not attack, the People's Army launched an attack. So Luo Yue ordered that three combat regiments of the 2nd Division, which had just arrived in Japan, were the main force, and each regiment was equipped with two mercenary regiments to attack in three ways, attacking Kanazawa, Bingjian and other places, respectively, and expanding into Japan's inland areas.
The result is naturally conceivable. The defenders in these places could withstand the attack of the People's Army. In three days, the People's Army captured five cities including Kanazawa City, Icemi City, Takaoka City, Hebei County, and Oyabe City, and plundered them in these five cities. The social and economic economics of these inland cities were much more developed than the Nodeng Peninsula, so the People's Army's plundering gained a lot.
At the same time, it also brought great panic to the Japanese people, because the news of the People's Army landing in Japan could no longer be concealed. At the same time, various rumors and slander were circulating everywhere. Some said that the People's Army not only plundered supplies, but also captured the population, but also transported them to China to be coolies. Even the People's Army carried out a massacre in Japan. As long as it was occupied by the People's Army, there was no living left. All the Japanese who could climb the peninsula were killed. Now the People's Army went there and killed there, so the residents of Shanxian and nearby areas were extremely frightened and fled home, causing a large number of refugees to lose.
