Chapter 1150 Tearing the Absolute Defense Circle

When you contribute to the Great Japanese Empire, the Japanese face is a hundred and good, and the constant praise and support seems to instantly become a big red.As long as you make mistakes, especially those that cause deaths and injuries to Japanese people, you will immediately turn your face and deny you.

As for the political security bureau’s death and injury of more than a dozen people this time, Kinoshita did not mention at all. In his eyes, the lives of Japanese people are much more expensive than the lives of this group of dogs. That’s right, it’s a dog. Traitors who sell their lives are the same as dogs.

There was a lot of crying in the yard on the 76th. The family of the deceased came to lead the corpse. Looking at the scene in front of him, Wan Lilang felt a headache, and at the same time he felt a little angry. These Japanese people are too special, even the funeral expenses. No points.

"Seat, what should we do with the female traffic officer who provided the wrong information?" After returning to the office of the First Bureau of the Political Security Bureau, the deputy chief of intelligence asked.

"She? Send someone to Wuqiao Town to take a look. If she has not been sanctioned by the Military Statistics Bureau, you will arrange her to work in the first bureau of the Political Security Bureau. This level of calculation is not something she can do as a small traffic officer. It's clear, it's just a chess piece!"

"Forget it, let's transfer her to work at the General Administration. She has only a dead end when she stays in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The Military Manpower Bureau will not let her go! Anyway, she has done something for our Political Security Bureau. "Wan Lilang has a rare kindness.

The joint operation of the Shanghai Suburb Intelligence Station and the guerrillas of the Zhongyi National Salvation Army came to an end temporarily. The Wanlilang who had won consecutively some time ago suffered a big loss. However, Chen Mingxiang did not advance from the mouth of Gangcun Zhongzuo. I learned that the Shanghai Suburb Intelligence Station was targeted by Wan Lilang.

It's not that Shizo Gangmura didn't trust him, but he was beaten and his face was swollen, and he didn't remember it for a while. Besides, it didn't make much sense to tell Chen Mingxiang. This old subordinate was obviously more interested in making money.

The 11th Army’s offensive on Tanzhou was also gradually advancing. The 40th Division took a boat across the lake in the middle of the night and launched a raid on Yincheng near Tanzhou. It occupied Yincheng on June 4 and then tightened. Then attacked Ningxiang and occupied the area west of Tanzhou.

The remaining 3rd Division, 13th Division, 58th Division, and 116th Division, the main divisions of this battle, launched an offensive against Liuyang, and the third division was launched in June. Occupied Liuyang on the 14th and completed the siege of Tanzhou.

The smooth progress of the army this time also brought honor to the dispatched army commander Shunroku Hata. On June 2nd, he was awarded the rank of marshal by the Emperor of Japan.

"I received a message from the headquarters of the Bureau that the United States has officially begun to attack the Mariana Islands. The target of the first round of attacks is Saipan. This is news from the US Navy." Wang Zhen said to Chen Mingxiang.

"This is good news. Once the US military has captured the Mariana Islands, it will break Japan's absolute defense circle. Long-range heavy bombers can directly pose a threat to Japan's homeland."

“Japan’s homeland defenses are tight, I’m afraid it’s not easy to attack, but sweeping away the surrounding islands and continuously bombing military and industrial facilities can accelerate the process of Japan’s defeat. It seems that the date of victory can be greatly advanced.” Chen Mingxiang Said with a smile.

He was worrying about the unfavorable situation in Tanzhou, but he was just an intelligence officer, and he could only stare at this. Hearing this good news, he immediately cheered up.

The U.S. Navy and Army’s attack on Saipan started yesterday, in the early morning of June 15. This shows that the U.S. Navy still attaches great importance to the Military Command.

The Japanese forces on Saipan at this time are the 43rd Division under the 31st Army of the Army, the 47th Independent Mixed Brigade, the Seventh Independent Engineers Wing, the Ninth Tank Wing, and the third independent mountain artillery. The wing and the 25th wing of the Anti-aircraft Artillery Corps have approximately 28,000 people.

In the navy, the Central Pacific Fleet Command, the 55th Naval Garrison in the Fifth Marine Police District and the Yokosuka First Marine Corps, have more than 15,000 people.

The Japanese navy and army forces on Saipan have a total force of more than 43,000. The main weapons are 260 artillery and 49 tanks.

The U.S. Army’s attack on Saipan is the Fifth Army of the U.S. Marine Corps. The forces under its jurisdiction are the Second Marine Division and the Fourth Marine Division, with the assistance of the U.S. Army’s 27th Infantry Division, totaling more than 67,000 people.

The naval fleet is responsible for transportation and direct support ships, including seven battleships, seven escort aircraft carriers, eleven cruisers, 41 destroyers, more than 30 minesweeping and anti-submarine ships, and more than 110 landing ships. There are more than two hundred and forty ships and two thousand planes.

This is not the entire offensive lineup. In fact, this time the United States used a total of 15 major aircraft carriers and light aircraft carriers, 14 escort aircraft carriers, 7 battleships, 25 cruisers, 180 destroyers, and 3 submarines. Ten ships, as well as landing ships and transport ships, add up to more than 600 ships, 2,000 aircraft, and the ground forces consist of four divisions and one brigade, with a total strength of 150,000.

Where are the rest of the aircraft carriers and warships?

Of course, we are waiting for the coming main force of the combined Japanese navy fleet. The United States will attack the Mariana Islands. Japan will not fail to respond. It will definitely send out to support and protect this strategic location.

But at this time, an extremely important event also created a strong stimulus to the dispatch army headquarters.

On June 15, the U.S. Air Force’s B-29 long-range heavy bomber formation took off from China’s Rongcheng Airport and bombed the Yawata Steel Works in Kitakyushu, Japan.

This time the mission was carried out by the 20th Air Force under the command of General Wolfe. At 16:30, the bomber group began to take off from the Chengdu area, with a total number of 75 aircraft.

At 22:30, Lieutenant General Sada Shimomura and the Western Army Command in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, received a report from a radar station that an unknown enemy plane had invaded the airspace.

At 23:24, Japan began to sound the air defense alarm. Fourteen minutes later, the B-29 long-range heavy bomber, which rushed first, reached the sky over Yawata and started dropping bombs.

Due to falling behind, yaw, malfunctions, and changing targets, the actual number of aircraft that reached the sky above Yawata was 47, and the bomb dropped was about 400 tons.

The Yawata Steel Works was completed in 1889. Thanks to the Japanese government's care of this steel plant, production has developed rapidly. It is also the most important military steel production base for the Japanese Navy and Army.

When the Japanese launched the Pacific War, the Navy had 210 large warships, as well as the Army’s 2,000 medium tanks, more than 1,400 light tanks, and other heavy weapons, most of which were produced by Yawata Steel. Made of steel.
