    Thousands of trucks shuttled back and forth, and trains came loaded with loads.

    The transportation troops began to transport a large amount of weapons and ammunition originally intended for use in the decisive battle on the mainland to the peninsula.

    The Magnesium Army turned a blind eye, did not stop it, and even secretly helped. Theoretically speaking, the fewer weapons and ammunition left in Japan, the better for the security of the Magnesium Army.

    The magnesium army has always been worried that some commanders in the Japanese army will suddenly lead soldiers to attack with weapons. The best condition of the Japanese mainland is to transport a tank, an aircraft and even a small-caliber artillery to the peninsula.

    The Kwantung Army at the front tried its best to resist the Soviet attack, and the Kwantung Army at the rear moved to the peninsula at full speed.

    The Northeast can hold on for about twenty days, which should be enough for 500,000 soldiers to cross the river and enter the mountainous northern part of the peninsula. They should first establish a firm foothold and complete the reorganization of divisions before starting a battle.

    The Soviet army coming from afar will inevitably not be able to sustain long-term logistical supplies. Seizing the opportunity will allow the battle to continue.

    ??????????? It¡¯s not bad that Japan can control the peninsula if it can¡¯t occupy the Northeast.

    After more than two years of continuous setbacks, Japan has finally understood its own weight. Even if the US military does not have atomic bombs, it can still bury the Japan Islands with its massive resources. This is an irrefutable fact.

    Only by cooperating with the Chinese government can we continue to maintain our dignity, at least for now.

    ???????????? If the Magnesium Country were not trying to seize time to end the war early, they could have used a hundred warships to isolate Okinawa from the outside world. The defenders would naturally be able to survive within half a year, but countless people would collapse within a year.

    The island defenders were most afraid of being blocked. Japanese defenders on many islands in the Pacific were shown eating wild vegetables and tree bark to stay alive.

    If the 300,000 combatants in Okinawa are cut off from supplies for a few days, they may surrender and be unable to continue fighting.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "This move of the Magnesium government is really cruel. At least hundreds of thousands of little devils will die on the peninsula."

    "But it's nothing. In history, more than 600,000 soldiers were captured, and most of them died of illness in the end. It is better to die in battle than to die of illness, and at least there is a little bit of dignity."

    Fang Tianlang was sitting in the room looking at the map, while Huizi was copying copybooks beside him.

    "Use the river as the boundary and block attacks at all levels. If the old man retreats, he will pounce on them and bite them."

    "After a few fights, this battle will last for more than three months. When both sides get tired, the US government will come out to pick peaches. It's really a wishful thinking, um it's indeed a good tactic."

    "Huizi, for dinner, we have pheasant stewed with mushrooms and grilled pork chops! There are also moss pickles and stewed fish! There is also fresh fish soup! It is very delicious!"

    "Hmm they are all delicious"

    The room is filled with fragrance, the battle is still far away, and the pleasant days will be around for a long time.

    The Kwantung Army entered the peninsula from the Northeast at an average rate of 20,000 people per day. In addition, soldiers from the mainland theaters landed directly from the sea on freighters and passenger ships.

    Japan¡¯s mainland will obviously be under huge pressure to receive three to four million soldiers in a short period of time.

    The best way is to make a transition on the peninsula first, wait for the economy to improve, and then let some soldiers return to the mainland.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Each combat unit stepped up preparations for war, and the division replenished its troops, weapons and ammunition as soon as possible.

    Fully manned divisions appeared as if by magic. Many Japanese soldiers found it easy to withdraw from the mainland theater and instead fight on the peninsula.

    With only a narrow strait behind me and my hometown, I feel less lonely mentally.

    Whether it is the transportation of supplies or the repatriation of the wounded, it will be extremely fast. You don¡¯t have to worry about going hungry on the battlefield. Fighting with your back on the homeland is definitely a different feeling than fighting far away from home.

    "Transfer the Kwantung Army's epidemic prevention and water supply unit, all personnel, and maybe there will be a chance to participate in the battle."

    Fang Tianlang walked into the combat command room and said steadily to Junjiro Ihara, Chief of Staff of the 17th Front Army.

    "I will issue a transfer order right away. This unit should be in Fenghua now and will be here soon."

    Junjiro Ihara nodded vigorously. Although he didn¡¯t know the purpose of Fang Tianlang¡¯s mobilizing the Kwantung Army¡¯s epidemic prevention and water supply troops into the peninsula, the order of the supreme commander must be carried out.

    If Fang Tianlang had not avoided the sight of the US military, he would have been promoted to general and even become the youngest marshal in history because of his outstanding combat performance in Okinawa.

    "Wellcome here quickly. This is a very critical combat unit. Enter it confidentially and place it on standby in the rear."

      "Hi! I will arrange it!"

    Junjiro Ihara turned and left, and Fang Tianlang walked to the map in a few steps.

    Eighty percent of the northern part of the peninsula is mountainous, which is very suitable for blocking operations.

    Mechanized troops had to travel on mountain roads, and it was almost impossible to escape the oblique attacks of Japanese rockets.

    An infantry squadron deployed on a hilltop can block an entire area with just one division. It would definitely be more difficult for the Soviet army to capture the peninsula than it would be for the US military to attack Okinawa.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    The intense preparations for the war were underway against the clock, and Japanese soldiers were mobilized everywhere.

    120,000 Japanese soldiers deployed their defenses along the dividing line between the Northeast and the peninsula. It was not difficult to dig trenches and use mountain defenses to block the impact of armored forces.

    The same infantry brigade does not need to add more soldiers. Just adding a few hundred large-caliber rockets can basically increase the anti-armor combat capability several times. Although the overall level of the T-34 is slightly higher than the US military's "Sherman" tank, it can still withstand it.  It cannot withstand the detonation of large-caliber rockets.

    Japan¡¯s mainland has been accelerating the production of 120mm rockets that can be carried and launched by individual soldiers to partially replace the 150mm rockets that have been so successful in Okinawa.

    Any armored fighting vehicle directly hit by a 120mm rocket will lose its combat effectiveness due to violent concussion and become useless scrap metal. Fighting against the Soviet army is equivalent to fighting against the T-34 tank. This is equivalent to defeating the "Sherman".  Magnesium Army is the same principle.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    August 9, 1945

    "Everything went well today. The first batch of transport planes arrived, delivering a total of two thousand 150mm rockets and one hundred sets of individual launchers. These are not the main force. The main force is the 120mm rockets at the back, which can be carried by individual soldiers.  emission."

    "The offensive was very fierce. The Kwantung Army could hold out for at most ten days. If Okinawa hadn't transferred 150,000 elite soldiers and nearly a thousand artillery pieces from the Kwantung Army, it might have been able to withstand it for a while longer."

    "Regardless of whether we attack the peninsula or not, this battle must be fought. It should be more beneficial to the future world structure. If the big brother is weaker, the younger brother will be less stressed."

    Fang Tianlang wrote down some key points in a small notebook. The battle was about to break out. He tried his best to get a successful start at the last moment.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
