The Japanese army is gaining momentum in the Pacific battlefield. With God's help, it can basically capture most of Southeast Asia in less than half a year, including the Philippines, Malaysia, Hong Kong, French Indochina, and Thailand. China was now preparing to attack Burma and the Dutch East Indies.
However, the Japanese troops in the Chinese battlefield suffered heavy losses one after another, especially the third attack on Changsha, which resulted in heavy losses. They were denounced as a shame by the base camp, and the Chinese Expeditionary Forces Headquarters was immediately ordered to formulate a new offensive immediately to wash away the shame.
After receiving the order from the base camp, the senior commanders of several major military groups on the Chinese battlefield breathed a sigh of relief and could finally get started.
¡°It wasn¡¯t that they didn¡¯t want to deal with the Chinese army before, but the higher-ups put a tight spell on them. There was really nothing they could do!
The base camp attacked Southeast Asia, using one-fifth of the army and most of the navy. In order to concentrate its forces to fight against the United States and Britain, it determined the battlefield within the customs in China, temporarily suspended strategic offensives, and focused on strengthening public security operations and strictly blocking supplies in an attempt to consolidate its occupied areas and weaken the anti-Japanese forces.
On the battlefield outside the customs, it is required to strengthen combat readiness, maintain strict vigilance, and strive to prevent war with the Soviet Union to avoid dispersing national power.
To this end, the Japanese base camp issued new restrictive orders on the combat missions of the Chinese dispatched troops and the Kwantung Army before launching the war against Britain and the United States.
The base camp issued Mainland Order No. 575 to the Chinese Expeditionary Forces, which read: The Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Forces, based on the following contents, must especially strengthen the blockade of the enemy in order to weaken and destroy the enemy's attempts to continue the war of resistance.
It is necessary to ensure the stability of Xisunite Palace, Bailing Temple, Anbei, the Yellow River, the Yellow River flood area, Hefei, Wuhu, the area east of the Hangzhou line and the vicinity of Ningbo. In particular, we must quickly restore public security in the key areas of Mongolian Xinjiang, northern Shanxi Province, Hebei Province, and Shandong Province, as well as the areas between Shanghai, Nanjing, and Hangzhou.
It is necessary to ensure the transportation between Yuezhou and the Yangtze River downstream, relying on the three towns of Wuhan and Jiujiang, and strive to defeat and destroy the enemy's resistance forces. Its combat area is roughly between Anqing, Xinyang, Yichang, Yueyang and Nanchang.
Occupying key areas near Guangzhou, Shantou and northern Hainan Island. The combat area near Guangzhou is generally between Huizhou, Conghua, Qingyuan, Beijiang, Sanshui and the downstream Xijiang River.
If ground operations are conducted beyond the areas listed above, separate orders must be followed.
It is necessary to secure important resource areas and strive to cultivate and enrich combat capabilities.
In the above-mentioned operations, if coastal and water operations and air operations are necessary, coordination should be carried out with the Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Army and the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Fleet.
In order to weaken the anti-Japanese forces, strategic work should be implemented against China.
Based on operational needs, some troops can be dispatched to Jehol Province on the border between Manchuria and China for a short period of time.
After receiving the order from the base camp, the General Headquarters of the Chinese Expeditionary Forces arranged it like this. First, it ordered the North China Front Army to ensure the stability of the areas east of the front line of the West Sunit Palace, Bailing Temple, Anbei, the Yellow River, and the Yellow River flood area. Especially in the key areas of Mongolia and Xinjiang, northern Shanxi Province, Hebei Province and Shandong Province, public security should be quickly restored and efforts should be made to suppress the enemy.
The 11th Army must secure Jiujiang, Xinyang, Yichang, Yuezhou, Nanchang and other places, and strive to defeat the enemy's resistance forces. The combat area is between the above-mentioned key areas, and the security of each key area within the combat area is restored. Cooperate with the navy to ensure water transportation on the Yangtze River from Yuezhou to near Hukou.
The 13th Army must ensure the stability of the Yellow River flood areas, the areas east of the Hefei, Wuhu, and Hangzhou lines, and the vicinity of Ningbo. In particular, it must quickly restore public security between Shanghai, Nanjing, and Hangzhou, try its best to suppress the enemy, and coordinate with the navy to ensure Water transportation from near Hukou to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
In addition, the 23rd Army must ensure the stability of key areas near Guangzhou, Shantou, and northern Hainan Island. The combat area near Guangzhou is maintained between Huizhou, Conghua, Qingyuan, Beijiang, Sanshui and the downstream Xijiang River.
It is precisely because of this regulation that the troops in North China and Central China are wearing tight spells and have no power to fight independently.
But they were not idle either. They took advantage of this period to take a long break, training their troops while replenishing their lost troops.
Especially in North China, Okamura Neiji allocated a large amount of funds and personnel to the intelligence department, ordering them to strengthen intelligence collection and be ready to avenge the past.
At present, the Japanese army's operations in Southeast Asia have come to an end for the time being, and the tight spell of the various troops on the Chinese battlefield has finally been removed. Both Okamura Neji and Anami Yuki are very excited, and they can finally let go and do their jobs.
The China Expeditionary Forces Headquarters is also brewing a big battle plan, and this time they are targeting the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions.
After the Japanese invaded the Pacific and Southeast Asia, China, which was originally ignored, quickly became the most important ally of the United States, Britain and other countries in the Asian battlefield, and the intensity of assistance to China increased unprecedentedly.
Just a month ago, on March 21, China and the United States signed a loan agreement of US$500 million to China.
Since then, U.S. military supplies aiding China, especially Air Force combat aircraft and equipment, have gradually begun to be imported. Combat aircraft often take off from Karachi in Pakistan and Allahabad on the banks of the Ganges River southeast of New Delhi in India, as well as Dinsukar in eastern India, and arrive at Kunming and other airports in China.
As the allies gradually enhance their combat capabilities in the Far East battlefield, they have also expanded and repaired air force bases in Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places behind China. In addition to improving the supply of oil and ammunition to these bases, In addition to strengthening the maintenance of night flight lighting, radio navigation equipment and aircraft, and strengthening air protection, the main purpose is to extend and widen the airport runway to make it suitable for use by various heavy-duty aircraft and meet the needs of large-scale operations against Japan.
Through various intelligence methods, the Japanese army grasped the expansion status of airports in Zhijiang (western Hunan), Hengyang, Suichuan (Jiangxi), and offshore Jianou (northern Fujian), Lishui, Yushan (northeast Jiangxi), and Quzhou. Among them, Quzhou The airport has built a cement runway with a length of 1,800 meters, which is particularly important.
Because for aircraft using propellers at that time, such a runway could be called a first-class airport, which could ensure the take-off and landing of various high-speed and heavy-duty aircraft.
The aviation staff of the Japanese Army's China Dispatch Force conducted an analysis and study on the construction of China's airports and the location of coastal airports, especially the long runway of Quzhou Airport. They believed that judging from the layout of airports in Jiangxi, Fujian and Zhejiang, China, they were mainly for Attack and bomb the Japanese mainland. B-17 and B-24 bombers took off from the rear and landed, refueled and loaded bombs at these offshore airports, posing a great threat to Japan.
Because according to the performance of the aircraft, the radius of action can reach 1,760 kilometers, so Kyoto, Nagoya, Osaka, and Kobe in the Kansai region of Japan are all within its scope.
Based on the results of the research conducted by the staff, the Chinese dispatched troops in March instructed Akiyama Toyoji's 1st Flight Regiment to conduct continuous reconnaissance and prepare to bomb these airports. At the same time, they sent Major Nagao Masao as aviation staff officer back to China to report on the situation and Discuss and ask for instructions.
The Japanese military base camp also attaches great importance to the fact that China has strengthened its aviation base, and agreed to China dispatching troops to concentrate a certain amount of air force to attack and bomb Chinese air force airports in offshore areas.
In addition, in order to attract the attention of the domestic people, Lieutenant General Kobayashi Asaburo, Chief of Staff of the Home Defense Headquarters, broadcast a speech to the whole country on the radio on March 21, asking citizens to pay attention to air defense and pay attention to the US Air Force's air strikes on Japan.
Kobayashi¡¯s radio speech was also published on the second page of the Tokyo Asahi Shimbun the next day, which shows that the Japanese take this matter seriously.
After that, Tokyo¡¯s Asahi Shimbun published another map of the Far East on page 1, titled: ¡°British and American plans to use Chinese bases to bomb Japan.¡±
On this map, the areas where the Chinese and American air forces originate from Kunming and Sichuan are marked. The intermediate airports along the way to Quzhou and Lishui, the specific locations of the airports along the coast, and the Lishui Airport as the center point were used to draw out the radius of possible activities of the two heavy bombers.
The first radius is 700 kilometers, including Taiwan and the Sakishima Islands to the east; the second radius is 1,600 kilometers, including the northern Philippines, Ryukyu Islands, Kyoto, Han, Kami, and Nagoya in central Japan, North Korea, and Changchun, China area to the south.
In order to bomb Chinese airports in the Zhejiang and Jiangxi regions, the Japanese Army China Dispatch Force deployed the 44th Reconnaissance Flight Squadron, the 83rd Independent Reconnaissance Flight Squadron, the 10th Independent Combat Flight Squadron, and the 1st Section of the 54th Combat Flight Squadron in late March. On the 31st, they assembled at the Nanjing University Field Base, preparing to transfer to Hangzhou, and then conduct three consecutive days of bombing on the above-mentioned airport.
The bombing mission is usually carried out by bombers.
However, as a result, all the Japanese bombers originally in the Kanai battlefield in China have been transferred to Southeast Asia to participate in the Pacific operations. The only land and air forces remaining in the Kanai battlefield in China are two flying groups under the jurisdiction of Major General Toyoji Akiyama's 1st Flying Regiment. That is, the 44th and 54th squadrons and 4 independent squadrons.
Therefore, this time the bombing of Zhejiang and Gansu airports was carried out by reconnaissance aircraft and fighter units.
After several days of bombing, the Chinese Expeditionary Forces believe that the three airports of Quzhou, Lishui, and Yushan are temporarily unusable. As a result, the 1st Flying Group was ordered to suspend bombing.
But less than half a month later, the Japanese army had to turn its attention to major airports in China again because of a sudden air raid, which triggered an unprecedented decisive battle.
