On the same day, the Nanjing Military Region dispatched heavy artillery, together with the gunboats of the Yangtze River Fleet, to launch an indiscriminate bombardment of the Japanese Concession in Shanghai. This was the first case after the Songhu War, ignoring the "concerns" of Britain, the United States and other countries;
On the same day, the Central Military Commission announced that in view of the unrelenting situation in the Korean battlefield, the People's Army will recruit 1 million reservists and veterans to form 60 divisions and start immediately;
On the same day, Fu Zuoyi¡¯s 24th Army, which was good at defense, was transferred to North Korea to prepare for the Japanese counterattack;
On the same day, Congress authorized Zhang Zuolin to declare that the country would immediately enter a state of war on behalf of the Republic of China, and government financial expenditures would increase by 1 billion yuan in war funds. The Ministry of Finance was preparing to set up war coupons and seek donations from all walks of life In addition, the Ministry of National Defense began to conduct war mobilization.
China¡¯s war machine has started to move, causing the world to change.
Faced with China¡¯s aggressive momentum, the whole country of Japan was shocked. There are people who are clamoring to declare war on China, there are people who are mobilizing all the people, and there are also people who hope to ease the situation.
However, those who back down against the mainstream of national public opinion can only think in their hearts. After all, using North Korea as a springboard and Manchuria as a base to advance northward to China and Russia has been an established national policy for many years. The well-being of the Japanese archipelago lies here, and it is not possible to do so easily. Give up.
The Japanese Military Ministry also officially ordered the recruitment of reserve divisions. The designation is to add 100 to the original 1st to 20th divisions, and the 101st to 120th divisions are the 101st to 120th divisions. At this time, the cannons transported from the United States were also gradually put in place. In addition to equipping these 20 divisions, some 155mm cannons were also transported to the Korean front line through the navy to equip the dispersed troops.
All the new recruits have arrived at their posts. Japan's general war mobilization system has decades of experience. Veterans who have just retired are quickly recruited and replenished to the front line, so that the disabled 5th and 16th divisions can be replenished first.
Due to the air superiority of the Chinese People's Army, the Japanese military also realized the importance of air supremacy. Relying on the advantages of industrial accumulation, they quickly launched the development of bombers and fighter jets. Prior to this, Army bomber units originally equipped in Nagasaki, Shimonoseki and other places also began to enter North Korea one after another.
During this period, the Korean People's Army did not make preparations to drive the Japanese army out of the Korean Peninsula. On the contrary, after the victory in the Battle of Seoul, the Korean People's Army Headquarters quickly gathered its troops and shifted to strategic defense in accordance with Zhang Hanqing's strategic vision.
In Zhang Hanqing's plan, it is not difficult to defeat the Japanese army or even use the advantages of the People's Army to drive them out of North Korea. What is difficult is that Japan will definitely not be able to bear this huge humiliation and will become a fight to the death with China. This is definitely not what China blessing.
Because the construction of the navy is a long-term process, it is absolutely impossible to win without more than ten years of accumulation. The precious ten years in the 1930s were exactly what China needed for its development. He could not tolerate the coastline. The terrible situation of being blocked for a long time.
¡°Give them a chance to breathe, let them have to fight in North Korea, drag it out until they can¡¯t bear it, and let them call a stop. This is the best result. Therefore, after the great victory, the frontline officers and soldiers not only did not continue the offensive, but took the initiative to withdraw from some temporarily occupied places such as Pyeongtaek, Anseong, Yeoju, etc., and built fortifications on the line from Anyang to Wonju.
This place is very close to Seoul, and supplies are very convenient, so it is suitable for long-term defense.
The Japanese engaged in shooting Chinese prisoners of war, so they could not be benevolent and righteous to the Japanese prisoners. This first group of devils are all very brainwashed, and their compassionate hearts will definitely not be influenced, so let's use thunderbolt means to make them feel it.
Of course, the prisoners of the 1st Division must not be kept. After selection, a total of forty-six Japanese were found and shot in public. This move seriously frightened the other captured Japanese troops. Some people thought that the Chinese army was going to retaliate as a whole, and some actually peed their pants on the spot.
Before the war, the People's Army had been suppressed by the myth of the Bushido spirit of the Japanese army. The legendary Japanese army's combat effectiveness and individual soldier quality were beyond description in words. When they faced him head-on with fearless spirit, they discovered that it was nothing more than that. After witnessing the Japanese soldiers peeing their pants, they felt calmer.
In the face of death, they don¡¯t really regard death as home, they are even more afraid of death than us! Ha ha.
It¡¯s just that they didn¡¯t know that the soldiers who were singled out by the People¡¯s Army officers for displaying their wet pants were only part of the Imperial Army. However, with similar faces, wearing the same military uniform, and taking off their pants, who knows who? Isn¡¯t it true that the Japanese army¡¯s stuff is bigger than the Imperial Alliance Army¡¯s stuff? Anyway, it is enough to boost morale.
After killing a group of people, it is quite easy to "educate" prisoners of war. Needless to say, the "Second Devils", they have breasts and are like mother's horns. Don't look at them to show off their power internally, but in front of the Japanese army, they were trained to beThis was also the reason why Japan did not declare war at the time. It believed that although declaring war could prevent economic exchanges between China and third countries and cut off the import of Chinese military equipment to the greatest extent, Japan was an island country lacking in resources, and most of its military supplies and raw materials had to be imported from abroad.
If war is declared, countries that sympathize with China will restrict the export of strategic raw materials to Japan, and the United States will no longer be able to continue to supply Japan with arms under various excuses. This will undoubtedly do more harm than good to Japan.
Therefore, although the two countries are actively preparing for force on the peninsula that lies between them, they continue to accumulate strength without saying a word. When they think they can decide the outcome, it will be an unprecedented battle! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
