Chapter 950 Heavy snow and withdrawal of troops

In the early morning of December 14, heavy snow suddenly fell on the Korean Peninsula, and the offensive of the Chinese troops had to stop.

Wang Laohu cursed in the headquarters and never stopped for a moment.

Jiang Dong stood by the window with his hands folded, a hint of worry between his eyebrows.

General Stilwell was smoking his pipe behind him, and his eyes would move a few times from time to time, as if he had something to say to Jiang Dong.

Tang Yun, director of the Secretariat, first opened the curtain to block the wind and snow, walked straight to Jiangdong and said:

"Commander-in-Chief, the people at the weather forecast station said the heavy snow is likely to last for more than two days."

"Yeah." Jiang Dong replied calmly.

Although the Korean Peninsula is not as cold as the Eastern Front battlefield in Europe, the temperature at night can also reach minus 20 degrees.

After a sudden heavy snowfall, the operations of the sea, land and air forces in Jiangdong will be affected.

General Stilwell knocked on his pipe and said in a joking tone:

"It seems that God is also jealous of your success. He stingyly blocked the road with heavy snow in order to make your army's operations more difficult."

Jiang Dong shrugged his shoulders.

"The blizzard cannot last too long, and the Japanese do not have the ability to use this period of time to reverse the situation of the war."

"Isn't it just two days? We can afford to wait."

"Instruct all troops to take a good rest in the heavy snow, and when the snow stops snowing will come down in one fell swoop!"

"yes!!!"

General Stilwell was impressed by Jiang Dong's confidence. After a long while, he smiled bitterly and shook his head and said:

"Commander-in-Chief, there seems to be no setbacks or difficulties in your eyes. Everything is the best arrangement."

Jiang Dong continued to look at the snow and wind outside the window without speaking.

General Stilwell cleared his throat and got down to business.

"Commander-in-Chief, the fate of the Japanese monkeys on the Korean Peninsula has been determined!"

"I want to know, after resolving the issue on the Koryo Peninsula, will your army land on the Japanese mainland?"

Jiang Dong did not look away from Feng Xue and asked:

"Is this your question or your government's question?"

General Stilwell opened his mouth and finally said truthfully:

"The White House asked me to ask, and I also want to know the answer."

Seeing that Jiang Dong had no intention of speaking, he continued:

"When you sent the Super Sky Fortress to bomb the Japanese mainland, the American Navy also launched the Guam and Saipan campaigns."

"Other Allied forces landed on the Philippine Islands under the command of General MacArthur."

"Japan's army was severely understrength, and after the Battle of Midway, its navy was in dire straits."

"The Allied generals on the southern front also heard about the Battle of the Yellow Sea, and they asked me to express their congratulations to you."

"General MacArthur even jokingly said that he hoped you could slow down the attack speed and wait for him to land on the Japanese mainland together to capture the emperor alive."

General Stilwell smiled to himself, but seeing that Jiang Dong did not smile, he quickly stopped smiling.

Ten seconds later, Jiang Dong said in a leisurely tone:

"General MacArthur is so excited. He has also fulfilled the promise he made two years ago and returned to the Philippines!"

"You can tell him that I will not land on the Japanese mainland until the Allied forces arrive!"

General Stilwell's eyes flickered several times.

After Japan's defeat, this country will face the fate of disintegration, and its future politics, economy, culture and other aspects will be overturned.

The landing in Japan was not only a military action, but also a political action.

This is related to the situation in the Asia-Pacific after the war.

Once the Chinese landed on the Japanese mainland, the post-war transformation of the country would be led by the Chinese.

After the transformation, the Japanese country will be more inclined to China and listen to China's orders.

This will seriously affect U.S. interests in the Asia-Pacific.

Hundreds of thousands of troops were dispatched, countless naval ships were produced, and such a huge price was paid not only for the islands in Southeast Asia.

Jiang Dong's answer was so concise and concise that General Stilwell was a little at a loss.

"Commander-in-chief, where will your army go in the future?"

Jiang Dong's tone remained calm.

"Ryukyu, Taiwan, Hainan, Siam..."

Stilwell nodded.

Jiang Dong asked again:

"How have your country and other allied forces considered the compensation I mentioned before?"

The corners of Stilwell's mouth twitched,

"Commander-in-Chief, General MacArthur has landed in the Philippine Islands. Although the Japanese monkeys are extremely vicious, the White House and the Allied generals believe that the heroic Allied soldiers will defeat the Japanese monkeys."

This means that the support of the Super Sky Fortress is no longer needed.

Jiangdong was not disappointed or angry.

The battle for the islands is not that easy to fight. After the battle in the Yellow Sea, the Japanese fleet will definitely not dare to confront Jiangdong's super aircraft carrier again. They will return to the southern battlefield and fight to the death with the Allies.

The Western Fleet near the Bay of Bengal has taken a rough shape. By the end of the first half of next year, the Western Fleet will also have its own super aircraft carrier.

When the east and west navies cooperate with each other, the Malacca Strait and other places will also become within their grasp.

After the war, from Indochina to the Malay Peninsula, from the South China Sea to the Sea of ​​Japan, China's navy, land and air forces came and left whenever they wanted.

This is Jiangdong's strategic direction and the goal the army strives for.

The Allied forces on the southern front were already aware of Jiang Jiang's goals, so they would rather make greater sacrifices themselves than let China's super air fortress go on an expedition.

………

Seoul, Japanese Army Headquarters in Korea.

Due to the obstruction of the blizzard, the Chinese troops on all fronts stopped attacking, which allowed Itagaki Seishiro and Takahashi Tower to breathe a sigh of relief.

At noon on the 14th, Itagaki Seishiro received a telegram from the base camp.

After struggling for a whole night, the Emperor of Japan, Hideki Tojo, Isoroku Yamamoto and others finally issued an order to the Japanese troops stationed in North Korea to withdraw from the mainland.

The bloody lessons of the Kwantung Army, the North China Front Army, and the China Expeditionary Force were before their eyes. Although they were reluctant to part with the land of the Korean Peninsula, they could not just watch the Japanese troops stationed in Korea be annihilated.

After reading the telegram, Sakagaki Seishiro couldn't calm down for a long time and seemed to have stopped breathing.

He spent two years building countless fortifications on the peninsula and deducing various defensive tactics.

He was also prepared to die on the Korean Peninsula.

The purpose is to have a decisive battle with Jiangdong on the peninsula and let the enemy's blood spill all over the land.

Now that he suddenly received an order to withdraw the entire army to the homeland, Itagaki Seishiro felt lost.

"Your Excellency, General, this is an order from the base camp. We must leave enough manpower to defend the homeland!" Tan Takahashi persuaded:

"All warriors know your determination to fight to the end, but now the situation has changed."

"Your Excellency, take the soldiers home, they are willing to sacrifice everything to protect their homeland!"

Itagaki Seishiro nodded moodily.

Starting from the afternoon of the 14th, Japanese troops from various places began to retreat hurriedly toward Busan under the cover of the blizzard.

In order to avoid exposing their retreat, the Japanese did not destroy highways and towns along the way.

They just executed the women in the comfort house and the Korean laborers who worked for them on the spot.

While the Japanese troops stationed in North Korea were retreating, dozens of Japanese warships and civilian ships left Shimonoseki Port on Kyushu Island and other places, and they arrived at Tsushima Island carrying a large number of personnel and engineering equipment.

Defenses will be built on this island.

The Japanese navy was unable to fight the Chinese navy, but if the Chinese wanted to completely control the Koryo Strait, they had to send troops to Tsushima Island.
