After occupying Saipan, the Chinese Expeditionary Force continued to march towards the entire Northern Mariana Islands, and it took another three days to occupy the entire Northern Mariana Islands, including Guam.
This is equivalent to obtaining an unsinkable aircraft carrier in Xilongping, and it is also an excellent military port;
After Yingjiang's aircraft carrier formations were stationed one after another, they and Luzon were at odds with each other, completely cutting off the connection between the Japanese Southern Army and the mainland, and the Jiaopanji mainland no longer had access to the strategic resources of the Indochina Peninsula.
After occupying the Mariana Islands, the sea supply of Eagle Sauce has become much smoother;
Yingjiang's navy is based on Saipan and Guam, and attacks everywhere, looking for the main force of the combined fleet to fight decisively.
The Japanese Combined Fleet is not willing to fail. The new commander, Admiral Toyichi Koga, also wants to produce some achievements to change the current passive situation;
Both sides intended to fight a war, and they hit it off immediately, so the two sides launched a decisive battle near the waters more than 500 nautical miles west of Saipan.
The combined fleet invested almost all its belongings, and Yingjiang also used its main force. The two sides fought fiercely for several days, and finally the combined fleet could not bear the huge consumption and retreated.
In this battle, the combined fleet lost 3 aircraft carriers, 12 other main battleships, more than 200 carrier-based aircraft, more than 200 pilots, and consumed countless ammunition and materials. It did not achieve the desired results, and it once again became a consumption that Yingjiang likes. war.
Yingjiang's losses were considerable, but they replenished the lost combat power in just one week and made some reinforcements. This is the tragedy of the Foot Pot Chicken Navy.
No matter whether they win or lose, they are the ones who lose in the end. Attrition is Yingjiang's favorite way of fighting.
It took Tiaobaji a generation and most of the war resources to build a combined fleet, but one year was enough for Eagle Sauce, and there was no way to fight this war.
After being taught a lesson by the Eagle Navy, Admiral Toyoichi Koga finally began to face reality and withdrew from Xilong Pingyang in despair. The Eagle Navy completely controlled the sea control of Xilong Pingyang, and the transportation line of foot pot chicken was completely destroyed. The southern strategy, which was cut off and cost the nation a hundred years, ended in failure. They didn't even get a hair, and they completely offended Yingjiang.
Yingjiang is very angry, and the consequences will be serious!
After fully controlling Xilongpingyang, supplies from the mainland of Yingjiang were shipped to the Mariana Islands ship by ship, including 200 B29 bombers that promised to support the expeditionary force.
Under the escort of the Eagle Navy, 10,000-ton transport ships transported all the strategic materials and aircraft needed to counterattack the homeland of Takumi to Saipan, an unsinkable aircraft carrier.
The three airports on Saipan are constantly expanding, and hundreds of aircraft are stationed on Guam.
Of course, Yingjiang’s big move in the Mariana Islands could not be hidden from the Foot Pot Chicken Base Camp, and it had no intention of hiding it from them. Yingjiang’s news media also reported the matter vigorously. The headline on the front page was - "Yingjiang and Huaxia's Counterattack!"
People with absolute strength can be willful. The consequence of being willful without absolute strength is to shoot oneself in the foot, such as Yuren.
"Bagaya Road! A bunch of losers! Didn't they promise to keep it for two years?
The entire army was wiped out without holding on for 20 days, hundreds of aircraft and tens of thousands of elite troops were lost. No matter how powerful the empire was, it could not withstand such a huge consumption!
Let’s talk about it, what is the next move for the coalition forces of Yingjiang and Huaxia? How does the Empire respond? "
Yu Ren obviously also knows that just scolding people cannot solve any problems, and the top priority is to come up with countermeasures.
Seeing that Yuren could finally speak properly, Senior Private Tojo was the first to stand up and said:
"Your Majesty, judging from Chu Xiong's combat style, their next target should be the Ryukyu Islands or Yizhou. If they set their target at Yizhou, they will first counterattack China, and finally attack the homeland of Zubenji.
Therefore, the next defensive focus should be on the Ryukyu Islands! "
Yuren's expression became extremely ugly. The coalition forces were about to attack Ryukyu, and the next step was the homeland. He finally felt the threat of the approaching war.
"Tojo-kun, Ryukyu and Yizhou are the absolute defense circle of the empire, there is no room for failure!
In addition, the base camp will have a plan for a local decisive battle. My idea is to launch the 100 million-man jade plan;
A nationwide mobilization order will be issued from now on. The first phase goal is to mobilize an additional 150 divisions and devote themselves to the defense of an absolute defensive circle, making Yingjiang and the Chinese Expeditionary Force pay an unbearable price.
If the absolute defense circle is breached by the enemy, the 100 million-man jade-breaking plan will be officially launched, and all men of suitable age, including Goryeo and Yizhou, must be recruited into the army. "
The first-class soldier Tojo heard this and his blood boiled with excitement, and he immediately suggested:
"Your Majesty, to form another 150 divisions, we need a large number of veterans as the skeleton of the army. The North China Front Army and the Kwantung Army that were previously withdrawn from China can come in handy;
But this is far from enough. One hundred million people are in pieces. The people alone are not enough and cannot guarantee combat effectiveness. There must be enough veterans as the skeleton.
The current imperial army currently fighting abroad mainly consists of three parts, the Chinese Expeditionary Army, the Far East Expeditionary Army and the Southern Army;
The Southern Army cannot move, and the Far Eastern Army needs to defend its homeland from the north, so it cannot move either.
Now the Chinese battlefield has been eroded, and millions of troops are stuck in the mud. They have to face the 1 million Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army, and the 2 million Chinese government troops. It will be of no benefit to the empire to continue fighting;
It is better to withdraw the Chinese dispatched troops to the mainland. With these 1 million veterans, we can at least keep the mainland. With 100 million jade pieces, we have enough veterans to make the skeleton. "
When Yuren heard that he wanted to give up on China, his heart ached so much, and he immediately went crazy:
"Bagaya Road! China is also the foundation of the empire, we cannot give up!
Once the troops are withdrawn, it means that the efforts of so many years and generations will be in vain!
It means admitting that the Empire lost this war. The Empire has not yet lost. Millions of Southern troops are still thousands of miles away to expand territory for the Empire;
Java, Johor, Australia, and islands all over Longpingyang are still under the control of the empire, and the empire is still the most powerful country in the world..."
Private Tojo could only lie on the ground silently, waiting for Yu Ren to wake up from his dream. This was already yesterday. His Majesty was still intoxicated in his dream and unwilling to accept the reality. This was obviously not possible.
"His Majesty--"
As Yuren spoke, he suddenly fell into silence, and then his whole person became decadent. He finally recognized a cruel reality;
Now it is no longer a question of whether we can maintain hegemony, but whether we can hold on to our homeland and avoid being wiped out by the subjugation of the country. Even if we have to activate 100 million pieces of jade, what else is there to talk about imperial hegemony?
After a long time, Yuren finally struggled out of the pain and whispered:
“Tojo-kun, just follow your plan and gradually withdraw your troops from China;
Remember, you must also pay attention to strategy when withdrawing troops. If you must withdraw your troops, then hand over the territory to Shuzhong and support them in fighting and destroying the Eighth Route Army!
As long as there is a war within China first, the Chinese Expeditionary Force will have no intention of assisting Yingjiang in counterattacking the mainland of the empire. "
Private Tojo felt happy, prostrated himself on the ground again, and then said:
"Your Majesty is wise. China has a large population and abundant military resources. Yingjiang is the most reluctant to let their own people bleed;
If the withdrawal of troops from China is done well and Shuzhong and Yanzhou in China can start fighting first, then the plan of the Huaxia and Yingjiang coalition forces to counterattack the empire will be aborted!
Your Majesty, this is a great plan! "
