Chapter 1357 Great Changes in Southeast Asia

August 1, 2023 is China's Army Day. On this day, the squadron launched a full-scale attack on the Japanese mainland and islands in Southeast Asia. On the islands of Sumatra and Java, the squadron carried out landing operations at the same time. At the same time, through the Seto Inland Sea and the Kii Waterway, the squadron began to attack Japan's Honshu Island from the islands of Kyushu and Shikoku. The landing site was selected from Shimonoseki to Ube and from Tanabe to Kushimoto. The simultaneous landing operations in the two places made Japan's 2 million armed "Emperor's Last Soldiers" on Honshu Island busy. The United States, in order to cooperate with China's actions, actually wanted to win at a lower cost. Two hours after the squadron launched the attack, it began the landing operation in Mindanao. The days of Japan's final downfall are numbered.

The armies of China and the energy group are fighting to achieve the greatest results with the least casualties. Because in the eyes of the Chinese, the main enemy has always been the United States, and Japan can only be regarded as a clown, the main enemy that the Chinese use to use. In the words of a Chinese general, China could defeat Japan with only a few provinces of manpower. Therefore, China did not spend all its energy on the Japanese, and more power was kept in the rear to guard against the actions of the United States.

There is nothing new about the landing operation this time, it is a completely normal and upright fighting method. In fact, when dealing with the Japanese army that is at the end of the road, there is no need to take the unexpected method now. Just using the firepower of the squadron is enough to let the Japanese know what it is like to die. The most important thing is that everyone has been working hard for eight years. The methods of war and weapons and equipment have undergone tremendous changes, and the conflict between China and the United States is inevitable. Although the United States has been surpassed by China in terms of comprehensive national strength , but the United States is still one of the most powerful countries in the world, and it is not so easy to give up its own world interests, so China will only use the most powerful tactical and strategic methods and the most advanced weapons on the United States. , having enough firepower density can solve most of the problems. After the large-scale bombing and shelling, when the Chinese landing troops landed, they could not find any targets for them to attack. Due to the insufficient supply of weapons and ammunition, many Japanese soldiers have already picked up the Mauser rifles of World War II to fight. Of course, when facing the Chinese who are armed to the teeth, the actions of these people will undoubtedly lead to death. In fact, Japan's current combat effectiveness has not yet reached such a low level. If calculated from Japan's strategic reserves, Japan can equip at least 6 million infantry for combat. Soldiers fighting with Chinese planes and tanks are undoubtedly going to die, so the Japanese left most of their troops in major cities, hoping to eliminate the Chinese people's will to fight through brutal urban warfare, but is it true? Is it as easy as the Japanese think?

On August 5, 2023, the 1st Division of the Marine Corps that landed in the Tanabe area consolidated the beachhead and established a forward base, followed by the 54th Army (the first time in the new century to participate in the war, from Taiwan Since the war, the 54th Army has been serving as a force defending Beijing and has not participated in any battles) After completing the assembly with the 41st Army, they immediately started their own "travel". Outside Tanabe City, they also encountered resistance from a small group of Japanese troops After being easily wiped out, it was like taking a direct train all the way. It was not resisted by the Japanese army and came to the edge of Lake Biwa, directly threatening Kyoto, the old capital of Japan. A few hours before their arrival, the 13th and 26th armies that had landed from the Kushimoto area had surrounded Osaka.

These four armies would be responsible for cutting off the area west of Lake Biwa from the rest of Honshu. The 15th Airborne Army of the Air Force also completed the airborne operations from Lake Biwa to the narrow part of Wakasa Bay. After the 54th Army was deployed to the line from Lake Biwa to Ise Bay, the entire part of Honshu west of Lake Biwa had been completely cut off by the squadron.

The 42nd Army and a part of the Energy Group that landed in Xiaguan first took down Xiaguan. For Shimonoseki, all Chinese should be familiar with it. If you talk about his other name - Shimonoseki, then everyone knows that it is here that China was forced to sign the "Treaty of Shimonoseki" with Japan. ".

The "Treaty of Shimonoseki" is a treaty signed by the Qing government and the Japanese government in Shimonoseki (now Shimonoseki City) on April 17, 1895 (March 23, the 21st year of Guangxu), formerly known as "Shimonoseki New Treaty", Japan called the "Treaty of Shimonoseki" or "Nissing Treaty of Peace". The signing of the "Treaty of Shimonoseki" marked the end of the Sino-Japanese War. The representatives of the Qing Dynasty were Li Hongzhang and Li Jingfang, and the representatives of the Japanese side were Ito Hirobumi and Mutsu Munemitsu. This treaty is the most vicious and unequal treaty imposed on China by the aggressors since the "Beijing Treaty". It brought huge benefits to Japan and also adapted to the desire of imperialist countries to export capital to China. After the signing of the treaty, due to the interference of Russia, Germany, and France, Japan returned the Liaodong Peninsula to China, and China paid Japan 30 million taels of silver as a "reward".

In 1894, the Donghak Party incident occurred in North Korea. The Qing Dynasty sent troops into North Korea at the request of North Korea, and directed relevant Japanese actions in accordance with the Sino-Japanese Treaty of Tianjin. After the incident subsided, the Japanese refused to withdraw their troops, and later even raided the Qing troops stationed in North Korea. The Qing court was forced to declare war on Japan. Since that year was the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War, the Qing court sought peace with Japan after China was defeated. After the Meiji Restoration, Japan "expanded its frontiers and expanded its territory" outwards, and the targets of land westward expansion were North Korea and mainland China. In 1876, Japan forced North Korea to sign the first unequal treaty "Treaty of Ganghwa", whereby Japanese aggressive forces entered North Korea. The Qing Dynasty had a suzerain-vassal relationship with North Korea, and Japan tried its best to destroy this relationship, causing sharp contradictions and multiple conflicts with China in North Korea. In March 1885, China and Japan signed the "Tianjin Conference Special Articles", which established the equal status of the two countries in Korea. Since then, Japan has vigorously carried out military expansion and war preparation activities against China in a planned way.

In the spring of 1894, the peasant uprising of the Donghak Party broke out in North Korea, and the North Korean government asked China to send troops to help suppress it. The Japanese government stated that it has "absolutely no other intention" to send troops to China. But when the Qing army entered the DPRK, Japan entered the DPRK with a large army in the name of protecting the embassy and overseas Chinese. On July 25, it raided the Chinese Beiyang Fleet and provoked the Sino-Japanese War of 1899-1895. After the war broke out, the navies of the two countries fought in the Yellow Sea War. The land combat army fought from North Korea to Fengtian (now Shenyang), occupying a large area of ​​territory. At the beginning of 1895 (the 21st year of Guangxu), it invaded and occupied Weihai, Shandong. The Qing government had no intention of resisting the war and repeatedly sought peace. Finally, it sent Li Hongzhang, governor of Zhili, as the first-class plenipotentiary minister to Shimonoseki, Japan, to discuss peace with Japanese plenipotentiary representative, Prime Minister Hirobumi Ito and Minister of Foreign Affairs Mutsu Munemitsu.

On March 20, 1895, the two sides met in Chunfan Building. Li Hongzhang asked for a truce before the peace talks, and the Japanese side put forward four harsh conditions including the occupation of Tianjin and other places, forcing Li Hongzhang to withdraw the truce request. After the meeting on the 24th, Li Hongzhang was suddenly stabbed by a Japanese ronin on his way back to the embassy. Worrying about the excuse of interference from a third country, Japan voluntarily announced its commitment to a truce. On the 30th, the two sides signed a truce treaty with a 21-day truce, and the scope of the truce was limited to Shenyang, Zhili, and Shandong. At this time, the Japanese army had occupied Penghu, posing a threat to Taiwan, and the armistice excluded this area, maintaining Japan's military pressure here. On April 1, the Japanese side proposed very harsh terms for peace. Li Hongzhang begged to lower the conditions. On the 10th, the Japanese side proposed the final amendment, requiring the Chinese side to clearly state whether or not to accept it, and no further discussion is allowed. Under the coercion of Japan, the Qing government had no choice but to accept. On April 17, Li Hongzhang signed the "Treaty of Shimonoseki", which humiliated the country and humiliated the country.

The "Treaty of Shimonoseki" (also known as the "Treaty of Chunfanlou") has a total of 11 articles, with "another treaty" and "special articles for negotiation". The main contents are as follows: 1. China recognizes the independence of North Korea and abolishes the suzerain-vassal relationship between China and North Korea. 2 China ceded Liaodong Peninsula, Taiwan and Penghu Islands to Japan. 3 Compensation for Japanese military expenses of 200 million taels of silver. 4 Open Chongqing, Shashi, Suzhou and Hangzhou as commercial ports. 5 Japan can open factories in China's treaty ports. From China's point of view, the cession of land and indemnities, the loss of sovereignty, facilitated the large-scale export of capital by the big powers to China, and set off a frenzy of carve-up, marking that the big powers invaded China into a new stage and greatly deepened China's semi-colonialization. China's international status has declined sharply. The movement of the Chinese people to save the nation from peril was on the rise, the bourgeoisie set off the reform movement and the democratic revolution movement, and the Chinese people's spontaneous struggle against aggression was on the rise, such as the Boxer Movement.

For Japan, obtaining huge reparations and strategic locations such as Taiwan not only promoted the further development of capitalism in the country, but also facilitated Japan's further aggression against the Far East.

As far as the situation in the Far East is concerned, it intensified the competition among the imperialist powers in the Far East. The incident of the Three Kingdoms Intervention and Return to Liao Dynasty clearly reflected that the powers both colluded and fought with each other on the issue of aggression against China.

The historical impact of the "Treaty of Shimonoseki" is extremely far-reaching, such as the fall of the empire, the formation of democratic lords, and the Taiwan issue that our country urgently needs to resolve. The terms of the Treaty of Shimonoseki were too harsh as far as the Qing government was concerned, such as compensation and financial losses were enormous. The military expenses for compensation amounted to 200 million taels, plus the 30 million taels of the Liao ransom fee and the 1.5 million taels of Weihaiwei Japanese garrison expenses, a total of 231.5 million taels, which was equivalent to the fiscal revenue of the Qing government for three years. In addition, the Japanese army also looted a large number of ships, weapons, machines, food, etc. from China worth 100 million taels. The huge indemnity forced the Qing government to rely on foreign debts to pay for it, while the big powers controlled China's economic lifeline through loans.

The signing of the "Treaty of Shimonoseki" was a major turning point in the modern history of China, and to this ancient empire, it was like a bolt from the blue. Just as Liang Qichao said: "The awakening of our country's four-thousand-year dream began with the defeat of Taiwan in the Sino-Japanese War and the repayment of 200 trillion yuan." Political semi-colonialization does not mean that the entire society is also sinking. For more than 70 years in the late Qing Dynasty, China gradually fell into a situation of being invaded and enslaved. The Chinese people are suffering, but the sinking is only more reflected in politics (especially government behavior), and it has not stopped the bureaucrats of the empire, the enlightened scholar-officials and the general public have never given up exploring the road to China's prosperity. Their efforts have also become an inexhaustible driving force for the development of Chinese society. After the signing of the "Treaty of Shimonoseki", people would naturally think that this time the country was really going to lose the country and was on the verge of extinction.

Before 1895, most of the emperors, bureaucrats, and gentry lived in the traditional ideological world. The previous wars of aggression against China launched by Western capitalist powers also ended in China's defeat and the signing of unequal treaties with powerless states. But as the flames of war subsided for a while, the ruling and opposition parties quickly returned to their old ways after a period of panic and quarrels. It is still Wen Tian and Wu Xi, singing and dancing. Serious internal and external troubles not only failed to wake up and cheer up most rulers of this sleepy and paralyzed empire. They indulge themselves in the dream of "self-improvement and rejuvenation" and the so-called "reconciliation between China and foreign countries". The fiasco of the Sino-Japanese War and the signing of the "Treaty of Shimonoseki" that humiliated the country and humiliated the power, the situation is different from the past. One is that the defeat in this war was too miserable, and the terms proposed by Japan were too harsh. Furthermore, the opponent in this war is Japan, a small country that the Chinese have always looked down upon. After the war, all strata of society were greatly shocked and heartbroken. The disastrous ending caused Emperor Guangxu to suffer unbearable humiliation and stimulation. He felt bitterly that the country's affairs were in danger and peril was imminent, "If the law is not changed and the country is strong, it will be difficult for the country to be conservative." "The indemnity proposed by Japan and the various clauses of land cession are 'an anecdote unprecedented in the five continents, and a change unseen in three thousand years. Peeping at the invasion of Sibari in the three provinces (Fengtian, Jilin, and Heilongjiang), each shows what he wants'". The memorials of Zhang Zhidong and Yi Shunding pointed out that "if the treaty is ratified, not only will the people of Taiwan resist and make trouble, but the soldiers and civilians in all provinces will also 'will cry bitterly and resent deeply, and will never be reconciled. The navy has no home, the army has no sharp weapon, 'National aggression, merchants complain, foreign troubles come one after another, internal changes will come out'' 'Land risks, business profits, pay, power and military power, once took away the anger of gods and men. '' See Feng (Tian), Jin (Zhou), Deng (Zhou), and (Peng) Lai. Machinery is useless, but shipping is poor; war cannot be arranged, and coastal defense is poor. China will have nothing to do in the future. '"

After the war, the influence of the great powers further extended to the same place in China, and the export of capital became the main carrier of aggression and a sharp weapon. The situation of interfering in China's internal affairs and trampling on China's sovereignty is even more serious. The arbitrary actions of foreign church forces and the unscrupulous harm of unscrupulous missionaries and people have aroused widespread resistance throughout the empire. After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, struggles against foreign religions and corrupt officials broke out everywhere, and their momentum was like a raging fire. The boxer anti-imperialist patriotic movement dominated by the people of the lower classes also broke out vigorously. Although it ended in failure, it objectively promoted the social reform in the late Qing Dynasty and promoted the transformation of the old peasant movement into a bourgeois democratic revolution. The medieval peasant movement cannot undertake a new historical mission.

Accelerated the development of Japanese capitalism. Japan used war indemnity to develop modern capitalist industry, plundered a lot of Chinese resources, seriously hindered the development of China's national industry, and used part of the development of education to make Japan more developed.

For China, on the one hand, it caused the further decline of China's international status and faced a serious danger of national subjugation; on the other hand, it sounded the alarm for the Chinese people and promoted the awakening of the nation. In order to pay the huge indemnity, the Qing government intensified the search for the people and borrowed a large amount of foreign debts, which enabled the foreign powers to further control China's finances and economy. The opening of new treaty ports and the opening of new inland river routes allowed the imperialist aggressive forces to penetrate deep into the interior of China. . The "Treaty of Shimonoseki" was signed after the Assassination Case, when the conflict between the Xianghuai local warlord group and the Manchu aristocratic group that ruled China became public and intensified. In order to consolidate its rule, the Manchu nobles wantonly weakened The Xianghuai warlord group caused serious damage to the southeast coastal defense formed by the Xianghuai warlord group, which eventually led to the inevitable consequence of the failure of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. It also announced the failure of the Westernization Movement led by the Xianghuai warlords in modern China. It was the landlord intellectuals and the national bourgeoisie who saw clearly the essence of the highest ruling class in the Qing Dynasty, which directly led to the Reform Movement of 1898 led by Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao, and laid the powder kegs and explosives for the outbreak of the 1911 Revolution.

It can be said that the Treaty of Shimonoseki was an opportunity for Japan to take off and the biggest catalyst for China's demise.

Therefore, if a certain division of the 42nd Army that captured Maguan had not been ordered by the Military Commission headquarters not to engage in any non-military activities, then the residents of Maguan might not be able to see the sun tomorrow.

Then a division of the 42nd Army surrounded Hiroshima together with the reorganized 39th Army. This city, which suffered the atomic bomb attack 71 years ago, will usher in an even more tragic end.

Before the capture of Hiroshima, the squadron suffered great damage in the battle in the small city of Iwakuni. Coupled with the lessons learned in Kyushu and Shikoku, the squadron will never directly attack any big city, because in the city In the felt, it was mainly a contest of light weapons. The squadron's marching weapons and equipment could not be effective at all, but would cause huge casualties because of Japan's "all people are soldiers". Therefore, the squadron was not in a hurry to attack after surrounding Hiroshima. First, leaflets were airdropped into the city, demanding that Hiroshima surrender unconditionally and hand over all Japanese soldiers. If the squadron does not get an answer within 12 hours, the entire city of Hiroshima will be destroyed. Of course, for the Japanese who are now on the verge of madness, it is impossible to accept. After 12 hours, without any reply from the Japanese, the full-scale air strikes and shelling began. Air Force pilots, with no threat at all, dropped tons of cluster bombs on Hiroshima, and Army long-range artillery fire began to speak. In order to deal with the Japanese's practice of sticking to the city and not fighting, the Chinese arsenal hastily produced five giant train guns with a diameter of 450 mm. And the battle against Hiroshima happened to be caught up by them. Each shell weighs 1.5 tons, which is more powerful than any aerial bomb. Of course, because the shells are too heavy, the range is relatively short, only up to 30 kilometers. This is for the Japanese who have no power to fight back. Speaking, it's not a problem. The three-day attack did not end until August 5. The result was perhaps the most heinous of all. The whole of Hiroshima has been wiped off the map. There is not a single building in the city, and they are all in ruins. Under the reconnaissance of aerial drones, almost all underground buildings have been discovered, and then there is 1. Shelling with 5-ton armor-piercing shells. The original population of Hiroshima City was 1.5 million. After the Chinese army finished its operations, there were less than 100,000 Japanese who could walk out standing up. Adding in the 400,000 people who had left Hiroshima before being surrounded, at least 1 million people were killed or injured in Hiroshima. On the artillery fire of the squadron. After the war, Hiroshima was never rebuilt again, because there were many irregular time bombs in the ruins, and no one dared to risk being bombed into these ruins! And Hiroshima is no longer worth rebuilding.

Li Cong's energy group troops play a role in maintaining law and order in Japan. Li Cong knew that if they confronted the Japanese army head-on, there would definitely be a large number of prisoners. Of course it was handed over to the squadron to do it.

Of course, the squadron’s brutal and destructive attack on Hiroshima was unanimously condemned by the international community, but the Chinese government also had a reason, because the Japanese had been given 12 hours to decide whether to surrender to the squadron, since the Japanese If you don't surrender, then all the people in Hiroshima will be Japanese soldiers. There is no international law that says to protect the soldiers who have not surrendered!

Starting from Hiroshima, the squadron's tactics of destroying without surrender have been accepted by most of the troops fighting in Japan. Although this can greatly reduce the casualties of the troops, it brings another serious problem. Guaranteed to destroy a big city, the consumption of ammunition is quite huge. The destruction of Hiroshima alone used more than 200,000 tons of aerial bombs and more than 100,000 tons of artillery shells. If this consumption continues, China's ammunition production capacity will not be able to keep up , This also created some troubles for the squadron's offense in the future.

On August 10, 2023, the Japanese government issued a statement strongly condemning the massacre of Japanese civilians by the squadron, and stated that Japan would use special weapons to repay the massacre of the Chinese, and return massacre with massacre. The Chinese spokesperson replied to the Japanese with only one sentence, if the Japanese can do it, we can do it, and if the Japanese do not recognize it, we will definitely not recognize it. The Chinese government also denied the accusations of the Japanese, saying that China and Japan are now in a state of full war, and any Japanese who do not surrender to the squadron will be regarded as Japanese soldiers!

Due to the tough attitude of the Chinese government, the Japanese have already felt ruined, and the narrow and short-sighted national characteristics of the Japanese are once again vividly displayed. At 22 o'clock that night, the Japanese army finally couldn't control their "emotions", and like a dying beast, they had to make a final counterattack. From the underground base in Hanguan, Hokkaido, Japan, a strategic ballistic missile with six 200,000-ton equivalent sub-warheads was launched to mainland China. The Japanese also know that if there is an all-out nuclear war with China, there is no chance of winning at all, and the Japanese just want to threaten the Chinese by saying that Japan has nuclear weapons. But the Japanese's desire to do it and fear of making things worse made them suffer again (in World War II, the Japanese were almost killed by this kind of thinking). For the Japanese attack, the energy group had long been prepared. When the missile was discovered as soon as it came out of the silo, and when it rose to an altitude of 20 kilometers, a dazzling beam of light irradiated it from an altitude of 3,600 kilometers. above it. Of course, the result is obvious. Just like in India, this missile landed in Hanguan City, and three of the six warheads exploded. The entire Hanguan has been wiped off the map. Under the explosion of three 200,000-ton nuclear warheads, even Tokyo will not have any living creatures.

After Japan launched a nuclear attack (although they were the ones who were injured), the Chinese government immediately issued a statement that Japan had already started using nuclear weapons, and its target was mainland China, so the Japanese had already started a nuclear war, so according to China’s policy, In future wars against Japan, the Chinese will not be stingy with the nuclear weapons in their hands. The United States is also surprised by the behavior of the Japanese. They can't figure out why the Japanese are so stupid. Isn't this an excuse for China to attack nuclear weapons? Since Japan was the first to use nuclear weapons, the United States did not blame China for its attitude. It only expressed the hope that the Chinese government could control the development of the war and not make unnecessary sacrifices.

On August 11, 2023, at four o'clock in the morning, China's counterattack began. The targets of Chinese missiles are the 33 Japanese military bases that may store nuclear weapons. In order to ensure the complete destruction of Japan's nuclear capabilities, the attacks on these 33 Japanese military bases all use low-yield (less than 20,000 tons) nuclear warheads. And 12 of the bases experienced chain nuclear explosions. Judging from the earthquakes caused by the explosions, at least 1 billion tons of nuclear weapons were detonated. And China has basically destroyed Japan's nuclear capabilities through this operation. Even if Japan still has hidden nuclear weapons, there are very few of them. It is impossible to break through the anti-missile satellite network deployed by China in its sky.

The energy group does not have nuclear weapons, so the Chinese side played the leading role in this operation. It may be a bit different from the nuclear weapons of the United States and Russia, but there is no problem in dealing with Japan.

It can also be seen from the nuclear confrontation between China and Japan that the Japanese are narrow-minded and have a hysterical national sentiment. Knowing that China has deployed anti-missile satellite systems all over the country, it dares to compete with China for nuclear weapons at the risk of being protected by China's nuclear weapons. Of course, there is no way for the Japanese to do this, but they have found the wrong opponent. If it is against the United States, then this trick may be effective, but now they are facing the Chinese. The Chinese are not afraid of death, especially when fighting Japan.

In fact, Japan's today has been determined when the war broke out. Only the Japanese dare to provoke a war that cannot be won at all. The arrogant Japanese always think that the success in tactics can make up for the failure in strategy. insufficient. And they don't learn the lessons of history. In World War II, the Japanese had successful tactics, but they were not strategically the opponents of the United States and China after joining forces, so they lost so badly. With Japan's depth and resources, it is impossible to launch a war of aggression against China, and in Japan's war expansion, it will inevitably endanger the interests of the United States. This is where Japan is completely different from the United Kingdom. Not as good as the UK. The Japanese will not use the international environment to solve the country's problems at all. If China is so easy to conquer, then China will not be the only country in the world that has a continuous civilization! Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, Japan has been a subsidiary country of China. If Japan still thinks that the current world is the end of the 19th century, then China, which has become stronger, will never make the world laugh again!

On August 15, 2023, Fukuyama was surrounded by the 39th. The devastating blow to Hiroshima has already caused a serious psychological blow to the Japanese. Therefore, the Japanese in Fukuyama did not put up much resistance. Ten hours after the squadron airdropped leaflets, the two divisions responsible for defending Fukuyama came out and surrendered to the 39th Army. Then a division of the 39th Army drove into Fushan. But things are not that simple. Although the supreme commander of the defending Japanese army had surrendered, many of the Japanese soldiers below were hiding among the citizens, unwilling to accept the "shame" of surrender. After the squadron was stationed in Fukuyama, it was attacked by the remaining Japanese troops in some areas. For such incidents, the squadron has long been prepared. First, troops were sent to surround the places where there were still remnants of the Japanese army, and then the residents inside were given two hours to evacuate. After the two hours passed, bombs and artillery shells began to plow these areas every inch, every inch. As for the giant artillery used by the squadron to destroy Japanese urban buildings, I have already said it before. Subsequently, the squadron declared these areas as areas where Japanese reactionaries were active and restricted any personnel from entering.

China's small-scale destructive attack has already made other countries no wonder. Since the Chinese dare to completely destroy even a city, it is considered benevolent. The United States and other Western countries have verbally issued a point Apart from the protest, there is nothing to say, because the attack of the US army on Mindanao was also attacked by a large number of Japanese troops operating in small groups, causing a lot of casualties to the US army. The Americans' response measures are almost the same as those of China, and they will completely destroy the places where the Japanese are haunted to ensure the safety of their own troops. It's just that what the United States destroys is the jungle, but what China destroys is the city.

On August 17, 2023, China has wiped out the remnants of the Japanese army on Sumatra and Java. At this time, the Indonesian government in exile and the Sultan of Brunei requested to come back and continue to govern, but they were rejected by the Chinese. Now these places are basically controlled by the squadron, and when China counterattacked, it was the national resistance movement organization led by the local that helped the squadron the most. Therefore, the Chinese will not allow the previous governments of these countries to return. The areas that China has worked so hard to conquer cannot be managed by people they do not trust.

On August 18, 2023, the Japanese realized that their strategy in the city was not of much use to the squadron, but would cause more of their own people to die from Chinese artillery fire. So the Japanese also began to dispatch.

The first to be attacked by the Japanese was the 54th Army deployed from Lake Biwa to Ise Bay. The two divisions of the 54th Army and a brigade of more than 30,000 people supported as many as 150,000 Japanese troops in the air and rear artillery fire. attack. There is not much to introduce about this kind of war that can be described as massacre. Then, the 15th Airborne Army deployed from Lake Biwa to Wakasa Bay was also attacked by more than 100,000 Japanese troops. Here, the Japanese can't get any benefits. The paratroopers are already very elite troops, and the strike force of the 15th Airborne Army itself is very powerful, and they can also get support from the Air Force first (the 15th Airborne Army belongs to the The Air Force is a unit under the jurisdiction of the Air Force, so the Air Force takes care of its brothers the most), so the Japanese did not get any benefits. If those commentators saw the Japanese soldiers attacking and asked them to evaluate who is the most fearless soldier in the world, then they would definitely choose the Japanese soldiers. However, if they were asked to evaluate who is the stupidest soldier, then they would still choose the Japanese soldier. Because the Japanese army's attack on the position built by the squadron can be described as death, which is a meaningless sacrifice at all. Rows of Japanese soldiers shouting "Long Live the Emperor" fell under the bombardment of Chinese aircraft and artillery. Even if the Japanese soldiers rushed to the front of the Chinese positions, they could not escape the attacks of mortars and light and heavy machine guns. Other than consuming the squadron's ammunition, their attack is of no use at all.

On August 20, 2023, Indonesia, supported by the energy group, formed a new Indonesian government. This is a completely pro-China government. Among the 22 ministers in the government, there are 8 Chinese, the most important of which are defense, economy, foreign affairs The minister of industry is all Chinese, and even the minister of defense is a former lieutenant general of the Chinese army who retired from the Chinese army only half a year ago and became an Indonesian citizen for only three months. Of course, he is now a member of the Indonesian army Admiral. Needless to say, this government was formed almost behind the scenes by energy groups, only with the Indonesian brand on it. On the same day, Brunei (newly established, never heard of it before) also established a Brunei government in Sri Gabuwan. The part of Malaysia on the island of Kalimantan has also established an independent autonomous province controlled by Malaysia. The energy group's work is quite beautiful. Through the Japanese occupation, and then as a liberator to help the people in these areas against the Japanese aggression, and then establish their own prestige and status here, these countries that have caused China the most headaches have become China's most solid support Or, of course, where these countries will go in the future is a matter for the future.

On August 22, 2023, 500,000 Japanese troops in charge of rescuing the divided areas of western Honshu died in front of the steel barrier built by the squadron. And the squadron also completed the task of capturing all cities except Kyoto. Through Kobe Port, a large amount of war materials are being continuously supplied to the squadrons on the front line. And the squadron has its own plan to stay in Kyoto, because Kyoto has always been the capital of the Japanese in ancient times, and it was completely built in the style of the Tang Dynasty in China. Now the best preserved Tang style buildings in the world are all in Kyoto. The squadron will not destroy such a city that can represent the most prosperous period of China, so the Chinese just besieged and did not fight, and wanted to use the method of siege to make the Japanese army guarding Kyoto surrender. But guarding Kyoto are Japan's two most elite army divisions, so unless they are starved to death, they will never surrender. When Japan finally announced its unconditional surrender, after the squadron entered Kyoto, they found that they could not find anything to eat. All the Japanese were starving, and there were even many incidents of cannibalism. The concentration camps in Beijing are cruel, so the phenomenon in Kyoto is not much worse than that!

On August 25, 2023, the Emperor of Japan has already thought of ending the war. But now the control of the country is no longer what it was in World War II, and the Japanese military government is determined not to surrender.
