Fukui Prefecture, headquarters of the National League for Democracy in northern Vietnam.
The atmosphere in the conference room was somewhat oppressive. All the senior generals of North Vietnam were waiting for the arrival of the last important figure, but he did not appear for a long time. No one knew what had happened, so they could only wait patiently.
Each of them was smoking, their expressions solemn, with a hint of worry and concern on their faces.
Among them are Li Zhenhua, Commander-in-Chief of the Army; Zhao Decai, Political Commissar of the Army; Liu Erma, Chief of Staff of the Army; Zhu Shixiong, Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force; Zhou Guangsheng, Political Commissar of the Air Force; Lin Hu, Chief of Staff of the Air Force; Yang Wenhai, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy; Wang Shoucheng, Political Commissar of the Navy; and Zheng Guorong, Chief of Staff of the Navy.
And the 2nd Army Commander Ma Wende, Political Commissar Huang Guanghui; the 3rd Army Commander Xie Hongbo, Political Commissar Han Yiran; the 4th Army Commander Li Mingyue, Political Commissar Sun Chenguang; the 5th Army Commander Zhao Mingyi, Political Commissar Ma Yunlin; the 6th Army Commander Tan Zhihua, Political Commissar Xie Menghua, etc...
At that moment, the door to the room was suddenly opened, and a strong, pungent smell of gasoline filled the entire room.
"Bang—"
With a dull thud, the tightly closed solid wood door shattered, and Zhang Xiaowu stepped into the room.
The moment I saw him, the already somewhat oppressive room became even more deathly silent; you could even hear a pin drop.
Seeing the surprised expressions and looks on everyone's faces, Zhang Xiaowu didn't explain much. He simply took out two documents from his pocket and threw them on the table.
Smack! Smack!
Two crisp sounds rang out, and two documents scattered across the table, instantly filling the entire space with a strange and eerie feeling.
All eyes were focused on the two thick file folders on the table.
Zhang Xiaowu picked up one of the file folders and shook it, saying, "Our mission is simple, just two points: First, protect the flank of the Lao National League for Democracy to prevent them from being surrounded by the Japanese. Second, sweep across the eastern part of the Japanese territory, killing all wherever we go! If the Japanese don't surrender, we'll continue to kill all!"
"Commander-in-Chief, we've already landed on Japanese soil, why force them to surrender? Just charge straight in!" Army Chief of Staff Liu Erma immediately raised the question.
"Yes, we will never accept surrender!"
"That's right!!!"
Li Zhenhua, Zhao Decai, Zhu Shixiong, and others echoed his sentiments.
Zhang Xiaowu shook his head, chuckled, and said, "Does this affect our 'Three Alls' policy?"
? ? ? ? ?
What's the meaning? ?
Everyone was stunned for a moment, not understanding the deeper meaning behind Zhang Xiaowu's words.
Zhang Xiaowu's lips curled into a wicked smile, and he sneered, "Think about it carefully. It's time-consuming and laborious to hunt them down village by village. Do we have enough troops? What if the Japanese turn the tables and surround us?"
"So, first force the Japanese to surrender, then learn from Hans and send them all to concentration camps. You can send as many as you want."
"That makes sense!"
"Is this also part of the chairman's plan?"
Everyone suddenly realized.
Zhang Xiaowu shook his head. "This is my plan. The chairman said that the eastern operations are my responsibility. I think the Three Alls policy or forcing them to surrender is up to me!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was once again shocked. This arrangement was absolutely perfect. If the "Three Alls" strategy succeeded, the Japanese nation would be completely destroyed.
"Alright! We'll do as the Commander-in-Chief says!"
"As the Commander-in-Chief would say!"
"Commander-in-Chief, do whatever you say we should do."
…………
Everyone agreed with Zhang Xiaowu's decision.
"Um."
Zhang Xiaowu nodded and began issuing combat orders: "8th Army and 9th Army, you are the only armored armies in northern Vietnam. The main attack mission is assigned to you. 11th Army and 12th Army will assist in the operation. We don't care what methods you use. Even if you push through, you must push to Tokyo as quickly as possible!"
"yes!"
"Mission accomplished!!"
Commander Wang Zhiguo and Political Commissar Zhou Mingyuan of the 8th Army, Commander Sun Haitao and Political Commissar Wu Yongfu of the 9th Army, Commander Li Debiao and Political Commissar Ma Guodong of the 11th Army, and Commander Li Xiangdong and Political Commissar Xie Chengen of the 12th Army all answered with their chests held high.
"The 3rd, 4th, and 5th Mechanized Infantry Divisions of the 2nd Army are deployed along the line of Gaofu, Sakatori, and Sanye east of Tsuruga to prevent the Japanese from attacking the Lao National League Army in Tsuruga and Mizumoto!"
"Yes, mission accomplished!!!"
The commander of the 2nd Army, Ma Wende, and the political commissar, Huang Guanghui, responded in unison.
"The 12th Mountain Division, the 13th Mechanized Infantry Division, and the 14th Mechanized Infantry Division of the 4th Army were deployed in Tarui and Takada, east of Maihara."
"The 9th Armored Division, the 10th Mechanized Infantry Division, and the 11th Mechanized Infantry Division of the 3rd Army were deployed in Nagoya, Takahama, and Okazaki, east of Kuwana."
"Yes!! Mission accomplished!!!"
Commander Li Mingyue and Political Commissar Sun Chenguang of the 4th Army, and Commander Xie Hongbo and Political Commissar Han Yiran of the 3rd Army saluted.
"The 5th and 6th Armies are to move south and seize central Japan. Your role is to make as much noise as possible regarding the Japanese occupation of Mount Fuji and the attacks on factories and cities in the south!"
"yes!!!!"
"Mission accomplished!!"
Commander Zhao Mingyi and Political Commissar Ma Yunlin of the 5th Army, and Commander Tan Zhihua and Political Commissar Xie Menghua of the 6th Army salute.
"The 7th, 10th, and 13th Armies are advancing into the northeastern region of the Japanese invaders. Wherever they go, they will annihilate all the Japanese!"
"yes!!!!"
"Mission accomplished!!"
Commander Lu Wenxiong and Political Commissar Liu Guangbin of the 7th Army, Commander Hu Guangrong and Political Commissar Wang Zhong of the 10th Army, and Commander Ma Zhengyang and Political Commissar Lin Xiaotian of the 13th Army salute!
"The 50th, 51st, and 52nd Airborne Divisions of the 17th Airborne Corps will conduct airdrops in batches in the Japanese-occupied Kanto region, south and north of Tokyo, including Chiba, Ohara, Kamo River, and Kanzaki, to block the Japanese from evacuating by sea to the south!"
"yes!!!!!"
"Mission accomplished!!!!!"
"Yang Wenhai, your navy is dispatching its main fleet to escort the 18th Marine Corps to land in the Japanese-occupied Northeast region. They are to land along the coast and block the Japanese civilians from fleeing north!"
"yes!!!!!"
"Mission accomplished!!"
"On the air force side, continue to launch various types of combat aircraft to bomb enemy airfields and cities. At the same time, send out a large number of reconnaissance aircraft to find the route of the Japanese Combined Fleet!"
"If the Combined Fleet is found, immediately notify the Navy and annihilate it!"
"yes!!!!"
"Mission accomplished!!"
With the order issued by the General Headquarters of the National League for Democracy in North Vietnam, a chilling atmosphere immediately filled the entire Japanese territory!
Meanwhile, the atmosphere within the country of Sakura became extremely oppressive!
In the Tokyo Imperial Palace, Emperor Hirohito sat in his magnificent office with a somber expression.
He sat there with his eyes closed, saying nothing.
Behind him stood Prime Minister Tojo Ume, respectfully waiting for Hirohito's reply.
After a moment, Hirohito slowly opened his eyes and looked at Tojo Umetoku: "Tojo-kun, do you think we can win?"
