Chapter 105 Unwilling

Prime Minister Hideki Tojo dictatorly realized unity: he immediately decided to expand 32 divisions in 1944, together with the original 69 divisions, a total of 101 divisions, and implemented the entire nation as a soldier. He also ordered the six generals of Yanjun to implement Operation No. 1, that is, to open up the mainland corridor. The purpose of this battle was. First, in the case of the United States and British troops blocking the Pacific route, they opened up a railway transportation line from Manchuria to the north, crossing mainland China, and reaching Hanoi, Vietnam in the south, and connected with Japan from Manchuria to the Korean Peninsula to maintain freedom of entry and exit between Japan and the mainland: Second, eliminate the US and US air bases in southwest China and eliminate the threat of bombing Japan; Third, eliminate the main force of the Chongqing army, especially Chiang Kai-shek's central direct troops.

Another important reason for Tojo Hideki to launch Operation No. 1: In the case of successive failures in the Pacific War, he concentrated his superior forces to show his power on mainland China to change the passive situation of his dictatorship.

The battle opened up the mainland corridor began in 19444 and ended in January 1945. Before the demise of the Japanese army, they were almost crazy on mainland China for a year.

Others may not know how serious the Japanese army's battle brought to China, but Wu Ming knew the seriousness of the place.

During the War of Resistance, the bloody battle between the whole Chinese nation was to recover lost territory, including the Taiwan Island that was seized by Japan before 1895. However, because of this disastrous defeat, it was betrayed by the great powers and cut off 1.565,000 square kilometers of Outer Mongolia's territory from the north and make it "independent". What an unbearable thing is that China cruelly cut off its bloody wound.

The direct reason for this bitter fruit is that China and the Pacific battlefield were not ideal in 1944. Roosevelt and Churchill did not understand that Japan had vigorously strengthened its expansion in this year, and on the basis of the original 69 divisions, it suddenly expanded its forces to 101 divisions. And these numerous forces were mainly used for Chinese operations, in an attempt to boost Japanese morale by opening up mainland operations. In this way, the United States and British troops were subjected to stronger resistance in the Pacific and the Chinese army was caught off guard by the sudden strengthening of the Japanese army. Therefore, the United States and Britain blamed the powerful obstacles they suffered in the Pacific Ocean.
