The "Government of the spn Republic" issued an emergency press conference overnight, announcing to the world the major incident of the large-scale use of poison gas by the Japanese army.

In response, the "government" of the Republic also announced that it would retain all possible means of war counterattack.

What is intriguing is that the Chinese government did not explain that the Japanese government only used poison gas to create a poison gas isolation zone. After all, from the common sense understanding of the people, the function of poison gas is to kill enemies on the battlefield.

The Japanese may want to explain that they just want to create a poison gas belt to isolate the Chinese troops. Maybe even the Japanese will not believe it.

In today's world, poison gas warfare is not uncommon. Even on the Soviet-German battlefield and the Far East battlefield, poison gas warfare is common. However, on a large-scale battlefield, a small amount of poison gas is difficult to reverse the situation, and a large-scale aircraft fleet

It may even be shot down by the Chinese's superior air force before it even reaches the airspace controlled by China.

On the battlefield in the Far East, poison gas is often used in the form of artillery and frontline airdrops to attack or retake positions, delay the enemy's actions, create more casualties for the enemy, and also play a strategic role.[

This time, the Japanese army used poison gas on a large scale. Although it was not for the purpose of killing the squadron, which was much more difficult and might not necessarily achieve the goal, at least the poison gas warfare blocking link in this plan had a strategic effect.

However, no matter how good the Japanese are in conspiracy and how ruthless they are, it is difficult for them to imagine that their plan will be exposed in advance, which will allow the squadron to mobilize a large amount of poison gas and transport it to the front line, so as to fight back in their own way.

He used his body to create a new isolation zone, completely preventing Japanese troops from boarding the ship.

It was already 9:40 in the evening, and more than an hour had passed since the Japanese used poison gas to block the Chinese team's attack.

In some temporarily cleared ports east of Vanino, many Japanese troops can be seen busy. These are the Japanese troops preparing for the retreat. In order to prevent the Chinese air force from discovering abnormalities and causing that perverted complete

Under high-intensity bombing regardless of night or day, the Japanese army did not even dare to use lights and fires, and could only work with flashlights.

On the top of the mountain, shrouded in darkness, a group of senior Japanese generals were looking towards the dark sea.

"General Yamashita, the fleet just reported that they are only 30 minutes away from Vanino."

A staff officer whispered beside Yamashita Fengwen.

Yamashita Fengwen nodded, indicating that he understood, and then looked up at the dark sea, where the hope of the Japanese army in the Far East would come.

As the supreme commander of the Japanese army in the Far East battlefield, he did not lead the Imperial Army to win a glorious war. Instead, he unknowingly fell into a situation of inevitable defeat under the wave of China's general offensive.

He had a deep sense of power in his heart, and he didn't know whether the defeat on this battlefield was to be blamed on the strength of the Chinese, the capabilities of the Soviets, or the carelessness and vacillation of the military.

As the supreme commander of the Japanese Far East, Yamashita Tomofumi realized the seriousness of the problem soon after China launched its general offensive. China, which had assembled an unprecedentedly large army, was likely to divide and encircle the Allied forces in the Far East in one fell swoop. In an army with hundreds of

With an army of 10,000, thousands of advanced tanks, thousands of fighter aircraft including jet aircraft, and more than 10,000 large-caliber artillery, it is completely unrealistic to rely on less than 2 million Japanese troops to resist.

In the face of a super-large-scale war operation and the extremely harsh conditions of a narrow battlefield and deep depth, if you had not decided to escape early, you should have united with your allies to avoid falling into a tragic situation of being divided and dealt with one by one.

However, the obstruction of the command system of the Allied forces in the Far East, the vague estrangement between the United States, Japan and the Soviet Union, the Soviet army that was extremely weakened, the US military that was too timid to preserve its strength, and the Japanese army that was forced to stay in a corner, formed a huge

of contradictions.

The military's high degree of control over the Far East battlefield and remote control command were another major reason for the defeat of the war.

Based on the so-called strategic interests of the empire, the military department repeatedly changed orders, and most of these orders were proven to be wrong. Some orders were even expressed by Yamashita Fengfumi when they were issued, but it was still difficult to disobey the orders.

Even though he was the supreme commander of the Far East battlefield, when the military headquarters ordered him to sit back and watch the fight between tigers, the Japanese troops he mobilized to support the Soviet army only had three divisions. This was the largest force he could mobilize urgently, although they were

The blocking troops of the Chinese Communist Party blocked it with all their strength. Later, when the military headquarters changed its decision and ordered to rush for reinforcements, the follow-up troops were blocked along with the troops in front. The rescue of the Komsomolsk defense line finally became an empty talk overnight.

As a general of the Japanese Empire, he knew that he would eventually bear responsibility for the defeat of this war. The military was never wrong, at least in front of the people.

Perhaps, what awaits him when he returns will be a most brutal trial, maybe even the death penalty, but he doesn't really care.

He, Yamashita Tomofumi, may have been cold-blooded, and he may have been very cruel to his enemies, but facing these more than one million imperial soldiers and the entire Japanese Empire, he has his own fears.[

"The fate of the empire may not be as good as they imagined. The biggest feeling I have from the Far East War is the power of the Chinese. This power may not even be stopped by the Americans. And for the empire, the root of everything

It’s all because we are too close. Will the so-called counterattack on Europe and the concentration of world power against China really happen..."

Yamashita Fengfumi was very worried that even if the Allied forces could successfully counterattack Europe, disintegrate and eliminate the Nazi alliance, and then concentrate their forces to suppress China, even if such a day came, would Japan be able to persist until that time?

While he was meditating, a senior Japanese officer walked up to him and whispered, "General, the isolation zone plan was implemented very smoothly. The Chinese team was successfully isolated ten kilometers away. Our plan has been successful.

half."

"Really? I hope so!"

Suddenly, Yamashita Fengfumi had a strange impulse. He couldn't wait for the 30 minutes to pass immediately, and then watch the more than one million Japanese troops board the ship and return to the country as quickly as possible.

Although this is just a delusion, judging from the evacuation distance of the Japanese troops and the ships used, it will take at least three to five days to evacuate all the Japanese troops east of the isolation zone and close to the sea! This is why the poison gas isolation zone is only

One-third of the poisonous gas has been detonated. In order to maintain the effect of poisonous gas isolation, the poisonous gas needs to be detonated continuously in the next few days to form a continuous poisonous gas barrier.

In fact, opposite the coastal area where Vanino is located is Sakhalin Island. As long as they land on this island, the Japanese army can quickly escape to the south, and then cross an exit of the Tatar Strait to return to Hokkaido, one of the four islands.

The reason why it only takes a few days to defeat more than one million Japanese troops is that the Far East where Yuvanino is located is only more than 30 kilometers away from Sakhalin, which is shorter than the dozens of kilometers the British and French forces had to retreat to.

Generally, the nearest place is only a strait of more than ten kilometers. But it is this strait of more than ten kilometers that is under high-density surveillance by the Chinese Air Force. The sky above is also an area where air battles break out very fiercely. The only way to retreat is to choose the opposite route.

A safer section of the strait.

The transport fleet set out from the direction of Hokkaido, detouring from the North Pacific east of Sakhalin Island and entering the Tatar Strait from the north before reaching the Far East to meet the Japanese soldiers. Normally, these fleets would not dare to park at Sakhalin Island.

It's a small port, otherwise it could be bombed and sunk more than a dozen times a day.

…

At this time, at more than 20 frontline airports in the Far East, aircraft responsible for assisting Unit 201 in carrying out this poison gas anti-interdiction operation were ready. In addition to a huge number of bombers transporting poison gas, there were also a huge number of jet fighter groups. In order to

Keep your action in case you lose it,

The escort group dispatched this time can guarantee peace of mind even during the day when the air battle is the most intense. What's more, the Allied air forces have less time to dispatch at night because they have to fly from the southernmost part of Sakhalin Island or even from the direction of Hokkaido.

It is not as convenient as the Chinese Air Force to participate in the war.

"Commander Huo, Commander Xu, the aircraft fleet is all ready, and the special operations of Unit 201 can start at any time."

A combat staff officer reported to Huo Weiguo and General Xu Geng, commander of Unit 201.

"Lao Xu, don't worry. The Air Force dispatched this time are all absolutely elite. They even gathered all the Tianlong 2 jet fighters currently available in the Far East Theater. Their night combat capabilities are very good and are enough to protect the safety of the fleet.

According to the plan, the bombing of the airport in the southern region of Sakhalin Island and the Hokkaido area to cover this operation will also be carried out at the same time, which can greatly contain the Allied night fighter group and ensure that the plan fails."

Huo Weiguo once again assured Xu Geng that other generals may not know the mission of Unit 201, but he knew that this plan, which has been highly confidential so far, is to keep all Japanese troops in the Vanino area, so that

Create conditions for annihilating them all in one fell swoop.

"Then Commander Raojo will finalize the order with me."

General Xu Geng stood up and motioned to a major next to him to take a box and open it. Inside was a remote command authorization system often used by important departments of the National Defense Forces.

Everything is ready, all it takes is the east wind, and the National Defense Force's fighter planes are about to carry countless high-performance poison gas to the skies over the Japanese army.

According to the plan, the National Defense Forces Air Force will assist Unit 201 in airdropping a total of about 1,500 tons of poison gas, which will be completed in multiple batches. At least two batches of 700 tons of poison gas must be completed before dawn. This is a relatively difficult task, even if the National Defense Force bombers
