The plague epidemic that was rampant in Japan caught the Japanese by surprise, and the country's already declining situation was even worse. All walks of life in the country had almost come to a standstill, and there was black terror everywhere.
The death of people infected with the plague virus was so miserable that even their skin turned black.
Tens of thousands of people died of plague in Japan every day, and Tokyo and Sapporo, where the epidemic was most severe, were shrouded in thick smoke from burning corpses every day.
Emperor Hirohito and most of the central agencies were forced to evacuate Tokyo to spend the summer in Hokkaido, where there was no outbreak. Even the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters was forced to leave Tokyo.
Umezu Yoshijiro, who was at the Kwantung Army headquarters in Xinjing (Changchun), was stunned.
What's going on?
The plague virus was released into Shanhaiguan, but it did not poison any one of Xie Baoqing's men. Instead, it poisoned all the Japanese troops with bald wives at the front lines.
There was also a widespread plague outbreak in the country.
Is it so magical?
If I fucking shot myself in the head, would it be Xie Baoqing who was killed? Um?
Umezu Meijiro even used the ultimate method, but in the end he didn't even hurt Xie Baoqing's hair.
After receiving the military intelligence report that the People's Liberation Army was now fully attacking the Jiaodong Peninsula and the Central Plains, Umezu Yoshijiro secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Xie Baoqing is now fully committed to dealing with the Japanese troops in the occupied areas of their country, and he should not be able to spare any time to attack the Northeast.
This was a rare respite for Umezu Meijiro.
Umezu Yoshijiro ordered the Kwantung Army to comprehensively expand its recruitment. All retired veterans must return to the army. All Japanese male citizens over the age of fourteen and under forty-five (including Korean Japanese, Manchu Japanese, and Mongolian Japanese) must apply. Enlist in the army.
In just two months, Umezu Meijiro actually expanded the strength of four divisions.
Due to the shortage of weapons, Umezu Yoshijiro 'borrowed' a large number of rifles from the Manchukuo Imperial Alliance Army and the Japanese Korean Army. These four newly expanded divisions had an average of 110,000 soldiers with one rifle for two soldiers, baggage troops, and engineer troops. The number of rifles owned by the army and artillery troops is even pitiful. The average number of rifles in the baggage troops is five soldiers, and the average number of rifles in the artillery troops is eleven people.
The Japanese are getting poorer and poorer now. They are almost out of planes, tanks, warships, and even people.
Umezu Yoshijiro believed that the Japanese military made two fatal mistakes.
The first mistake was Isoroku Yamamoto's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, which drew the Americans into the war.
Yamamoto Isoroku is dead and cannot be held accountable.
The second mistake was that Yoshio Shinozuka and Neji Okamura provoked Xie Baoqing. In a short period of time, the Japanese army had lost hundreds of thousands of troops and a large area of occupation to Xie Baoqing.
Yoshio Shinozuka and Neji Okamura are also dead. Damn it, you died and went to hide in peace, but you sent Xie Baoqing to my doorstep.
Fortunately, Xie Baoqing has now sent his troops south, and Umezu Yoshijiro believes that the Kanto region can temporarily maintain peace.
As a result, Umezu Meijiro just breathed a sigh of relief when he received an urgent telegram of 100,000 yuan from the Japanese Korean Army.
The People's Liberation Army of China's 10th Theater Command landed in Incheon and Seoul was lost.
Umezu Yoshijiro knocked over the table and jumped up, his scalp exploded, the few hairs left on his head stood up, and cold sweat as big as soybeans broke out instantly.
Incheon landing, Incheon landing, Incheon landing! ! !
Umezu Yoshijiro stumbled onto the sand table.
Xie Baoqing, Xie Baoqing is trying to cut off the retreat of our Kwantung Army.
Incheon is the closest beach to Seoul. Landing in Incheon is the simplest, most direct, most violent, and most effective way to attack North Korea, but it must be supported by overwhelming and overwhelming force.
In his previous life, MacArthur chose to land in Incheon. This life has been replaced by thanking God.
In his previous life, MacArthur landed at Inchon against Kim Il Sung.
Thank you for landing at Incheon in this life to bring Kim Il Sung to deal with the Japanese.
The People's Liberation Army quickly occupied Seoul at lightning speed. Two dock landing ships and hundreds of ships of various types continuously transported troops from the Jiaodong Peninsula to Incheon.
The First Army of Nakano swept all the way south from Seoul and occupied Suwon, with the goal of taking Busan.
Huaye's Second Army advanced eastward from Seoul to attack Zhanchunchuan.
The Dongye Third Army crossed the 38th Parallel from Seoul to the north and entered Pyongyang.
Kim Il Sung established the Workers' Party of Korea and the Korean People's Liberation Army in Seoul, and appointed himself party leader and commander-in-chief of the Korean People's Army.
At the same time, Kim Il Sung announced that North Korea would become independent from the Japanese government and establish the Korean People's Government with immediate effect.
Kim Il Sung still has a certain appeal in North Korea. Many North Koreans have heard of the name Kim Il Sung, but mistakenly believe that Kim Il Sung is a veteran general who has experienced hundreds of battles. They just did not expect that Kim Il Sung would be like this. Young, only in his thirties.
Also, Kim Il Sung started anti-Japanese activities at the age of fourteen, and organized a guerrilla force to fight against the Japanese at the age of eighteen. Now more than ten years have passed, and it is reasonable for others to think that he is older.
The Koreans have been occupied and oppressed by the Japanese for decades. There is no shortage of anti-Japanese forces among the people, including the descendants of the Lee Dynasty who also want to restore the country, but the descendants of the Lee Dynasty do not have such courage.
Rhee Syngman, a rising star in the Lee royal family, advocated the use of political means, through the intervention of Britain and the United States and other countries, to pressure the Japanese government to give up its colonial rule over Korea and legally allow Korea to resume its state.
Rhee never dared to think about armed uprising and violent restoration of the country.
At this time, Kim Il-sung raised the banner of national restoration and invited powerful foreign aid. Naturally, he received a response from the Koreans who had been suffering from Japan for a long time. In Hancheng alone, the Korean People's Liberation Army recruited a division. troops.
The soldiers of the Korean People's Liberation Army wore camouflage uniforms similar to those of the People's Liberation Army. The difference from the uniforms of the People's Liberation Army is the armbands. The armbands of the People's Liberation Army are the flag of the People's Liberation Army, while the armbands of the Korean People's Liberation Army are a sickle and an axe. This armband was designed by Kim Il Sung himself. Thank God for not interfering.
Xie Tian wouldn't waste his brain cells on these things. He didn't care even if Kim Il Sung designed the Korean People's Liberation Army armband to look like an owl. He only looked at the most practical things.
The Korean People's Liberation Army wore military uniforms similar to those of the People's Liberation Army, and also picked up the same equipment as the People's Liberation Army, the JH44 assault rifle. Its combat effectiveness immediately surpassed the Japanese army and the Japanese Korean Army from scratch.
Of course, these equipments were not given to Kim Il Sung free of charge. Just like the support given to the Nationalist Government by the United States, Britain, and Canada, they were considered arms sales. If you don’t have the money now, you can owe it first and then repay it after you win. The method of repayment is It can also be diversified, such as leasing military bases, customs taxes, mineral resources, farmland crops...
Anyway, there will be no love for no reason in this world, and there will be no hate for no reason.
But for Kim Il Sung, Xie Tian's support for him was a gift. He was poor and had nothing, and only two people were left with him. Xie Baoqing's promise to him was to help him restore the country, and the rest You can take your time.
How kind, how generous, how righteous. This is nothing more than this for a biological father to his biological son, not to mention that he has no relationship with Xie Baoqing at all.
