    To be honest, Japan was not ready for a war with China. It can also be seen from official history: after the "Huanggutun Massacre", Daisaku Kawamoto, the main planner, was ordered to resign in order to  This quelled the anger of the big bosses in power over the Kwantung Army's lawlessness, which at least showed that this incident was not tolerated by the Japanese political circles.

    Historically, the "Outline of the Plan for Solving the Manchuria Question" formulated by the Japanese Military Ministry in June 1931 was to invade Northeast China by force in 1932 after preparations; the Kwantung Army launched the "September 18 Incident" without informing the Military Ministry in advance.  Report.

    Japan's Wakaki Cabinet at the time was basically opposed to the "September 18 Incident" launched by the Kwantung Army. On the second day of the incident, the Japanese Cabinet also formulated a policy of "not escalating the incident", requiring that the incident not be expanded and prohibiting the Kwantung Agency (Japan) from  The government agencies stationed in Kwantung Prefecture) and the Manchurian Railway Company participated in the incident. The Kwantung Army troops in Liaoning were concentrated in Shenyang, and the Kwantung Army troops in Jilin were concentrated in Changchun.

    Minister of War Minamijiro and Chief of Staff Norizo ??Kanaya also jointly ordered the commander of the Korean Army, Hayashi Senichiro, to be on standby and not to reinforce the Kwantung Army.

    On September 25th, the Japanese representative also announced the Japanese government's policy to the "League of Nations": Japan has no territorial ambitions towards China; Japan's military operations are to protect local Japanese residents; the Japanese army will immediately  Start retreating.

    Although the subsequent development of the situation caused fundamental changes in Japan's political policy, at least one thing is certain: Japan is not actually ready for a full-scale invasion of China. China is so huge that Japan cannot swallow it in the short term.

    Therefore, Japan deliberately set up "Manchukuo", and after six years of digestion, it dared to launch a new round of aggression again.  At this time when China's strength is greatly enhanced, Japan dares not to think too hard.

    Therefore, the Japanese never dreamed that China would launch such a large offensive first. With little power to fight back, the Kwantung Army was actually surrounded in the hinterland of China; while the two North Korean divisions failed to form a strategic offensive at all.  Or the choice of defense, the commander of the 19th Division, Juichi Terauchi, was still in the country reporting on his duties at this time.

    "Transporting troops from the country to North Korea is not only a long way, but also slow and inconvenient. Compared with the convenient railway lines in Northeast and North China, Japan's transportation disadvantages are clearly visible.

    In order to maximize the time for Japanese reinforcements, the new Japanese Ambassador to China Yoshizawa Kenkichi, an old friend who grew up with the Fengzhi, was ordered to issue an ultimatum to the Chinese government, requiring the People's Army that crossed the border to immediately return to its original station, and then "China and Japan"  Military conflicts between the two sides can be resolved through diplomatic means."

    How could Zhang Hanqing be fooled by such a low-level strategy to delay the attack?  The Chinese Northeastern Army caught the Japanese by surprise through defensive counterattacks. If the fruits are not harvested in time, once the Japanese recover, they will inevitably have a bloody battle with China in order to restore the "dignity" of the Locust Army for many years.  Since we are going to fight sooner or later, it is better to fight now and fight hard, win and fight skillfully!

    He instructed Foreign Minister Gu Weijun: "If the People's Army returns to its garrison, the Japanese should withdraw from Taiwan and Dalian Bay, which invaded and occupied our country. This condition should be confirmed in the form of a Japanese announcement. During this period, the Japanese troops stationed in Dalian Bay should be put down  Weapons and accept the presence of Chinese troops, otherwise, the People¡¯s Army¡¯s march will never stop!¡±

    Yoshizawa Kenkichi said in a stern voice: "Mr. Marshal, you must know that the dignity of the Japanese Empire cannot be taken away. You must bear all the disastrous consequences that will occur!" He was furious. Later,  Even the usual honorifics in Japanese are no longer used, and "you" is used directly instead of the "you" at the beginning.

    Zhang Hanqing snorted.  What disastrous consequences?  It is nothing more than an all-out war between China and Japan.  Zhang Hanqing thought very clearly that when China has full advantage, as long as the situation is maintained in a long-term stalemate in the upcoming Korean War, Japan will be the first to propose compromise.

    He answered Yoshizawa Kenkichi calmly and calmly: "Mr. Ambassador, don't forget that the Chinese people also have dignity. If maintaining this dignity will bring so-called catastrophic consequences, the Chinese people have the ability and courage to face this disaster!"

    The powerful words were quickly echoed by the rumbling sound of artillery on the battlefield.  With smoke billowing and hoofbeats flying, the biggest battle between rising China and Japan, an established imperialist power, for the right to speak in the Northeast has begun.

    The Japanese seem to have ignored China¡¯s many years of achievements in economic and military construction.  On the night of receiving the emergency call about the Sino-Japanese conflict, the established Beijing Military Region and the troops of the Chengdu Military Region and Wuhan Military Region who had already left Shu for preparation were dispatched with great speed. Military columns along the Jingjia Line were lined up one after another, bringing combat supplies to Taiping.  Sichuan, Da'an, Harbin, and Mudanjiang have supplemented military deployment preparations for Northeast China in the short term.

    That night, the People¡¯s Army Headquarters issued the Northeast Military Supreme CommandCarrying a simple luggage bag, we gathered at the designated location and accepted our unknown fate.

    Minister to China Kenkichi Yoshizawa and Consul General in Shanghai Shichitaro Yada began to unreasonably request China to set up another place for their overseas Chinese to settle down, but they were flatly rejected by the Kuomintang government.

    "I can't touch your embassy or consulate. This is the bottom line of the Chinese people. When the two countries are at war, it is not necessary to kill the envoys. This is tradition.  Of course, this was not the case with Japanese soldiers during World War II. An unfortunate incident also occurred at the Chinese Embassy in Nanyang.

    But if a dog bites a person, a person can¡¯t bite a dog, right?  The Chinese government will definitely provide the treatment and guarantees it deserves, but are there still exceptions on Chinese soil like before?  Sorry, everything changed when the gunshot fired!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
