The first snowfall on Kyushu Island finally fell. The battle in the past six months has mainly revolved around the western and eastern fronts of the central part of Kyushu. Compared to the lively here, it has been a lot of silence on both sides of the north and south.

But calmness is only relative. In fact, the battle between the two sides did not stop for a moment. From Fururi to Kirishima to the south, on the seven hundred miles of crisscrossing canines, the two sides fought extremely lively.

Not to mention anything else, the number of players resurrected by the Japanese alone exceeds 30,000 every day. This has not yet calculated the number of indigenous people being shot and captured. The Japanese's livelihood has suffered heavy losses and are helpless in the battle situation.

The Han army fully utilized their strengths, high mobility, high lethality, and surprising reconnaissance ability, which made the Japanese always passive when facing the Han army, and were often suddenly formed a numerical advantage in the local area by the Han army, and then a large number of annihilation of the Japanese army with its powerful attacks.

Relatively speaking, the strategy of defending the city is slightly better. No matter what, the Han army will definitely have to pay a price to siege the city. The difference is only the price.

In May, the road from Hinata to Xidu was frequently cut off by the Han army's Qiyu camp. The supply of Japanese troops on the southern and western fronts became a huge problem. The Japanese had to take the initiative to slowly give up the cities on the western front and southern fronts. By August, the Japanese had basically retreated to the Hinata area, and the Western fronts and southern fronts had all given up.

The Han army did not rush to penetrate the north-south corridor on the western front. The Han army on the southern front reached the western capital to establish a position and confronted the Japanese in Hinata. Zhao Yun's troops began to move northward. They cooperated with Li Yuanzhi's troops to force Beppu to cut off Hinata's retreat. The famous Qiyu Camp disappeared again. I don't know where to start.

Guo Jia and Li Ru's idea is very simple, that is, they are not in a hurry to drive the Japanese out of Kyushu completely, but to consume the Japanese as much as possible. The battle in the province goes too fast, and after compressing the Japanese to a smaller area, the difficulty of the battle will also increase.

Therefore, Guo Jia's main purpose in the past six months is to consolidate the territory in the western part of Kyushu and then kill a large number of Japanese troops, recruit and loot the Japanese indigenous peoples.

After half a year of construction, the urban agglomeration in the western part of Kyushu has basically taken shape and even successfully achieved the first harvest. Although the output is not large, it is not without small compensation. Now the entire logistics is no longer under the control of Hanjin. There are more ports in the west. Guo Jia has no pressure on the logistics. Coupled with the preparations in the past six months, the conditions for starting a war again have been ripe.

In Guo Jia's command center, there were many generals gathering. Today is the pre-war meeting for the Battle of Fukuoka. A huge map was hung in the conference room. The generals looked at the map and whispered, waiting for Guo Jia.

A sound of footsteps came from Guo Jia walked in through the side door, and the generals stood up and saluted: "I have met the Military Advisor, Lord Changshi!"

"Everyone is polite and they are all acquaintances, so we won't be polite anymore. Please sit down."

Guo Jia smiled and glanced at the generals, came to the front of the map, looked back at the map, then turned around and said, "Everyone, after more than half a year of preparation, the time for another battle with the Japanese is ripe. Calling you all today is to formally arrange the battle."

When the generals heard this, their faces showed joy. The beginning of the Battle of Fukuoka means that the final attack on Kyushu Island by the Han army will decide the ownership of Kyushu Island in one battle. The next battle will be about to enter the main island. The Battle of Fukuoka can be said to be a phased battle of the Battle of Yingzhou. If you can participate in this battle, the generals will naturally be very excited.

Guo Jia smiled with satisfaction, picked up a wooden stick and knocked on the map, and then said: "Please see, the Japanese gathered more than five million troops around Fukuoka. Their important fulcrums are in the So-So, Iizuka, Nakazu and Kitakyushu. The core is naturally Fukuoka, and there are a large number of fortresses on the periphery. The entire Fukuoka area is 100 miles apart, which is like a huge camp, so we can completely regard it as a whole battlefield."

Guo Jia paused and let everyone digest what he said

"Our army's main combat unit is General Yu She's 50,000 troops, my 100,000 headquarters, General Zilong's more than 20,000 cavalry, General Yuan Zhi's more than 20,000 cavalry and Chen Han's 30,000 naval and commando, and the Yiren troops assisting in the battle, with a total of more than 4 million infantry. The number of our army is slightly worse, but in terms of scattered troops, our army has an overwhelming advantage. Therefore, our army will adopt the skinning tactic in this battle, gradually eroding the enemy's fortresses layer by layer, knocking down the enemy's entanglement, and then tearing them apart, and using our scattered troops to easily eat them."

"Mr. Military Advisor, what if the enemy attacks?" Zhao Yun interrupted and asked.

"That's better. If they dare to attack, we dare to concentrate our superior forces to eat them. If we leave the fortress area, the enemy's combat effectiveness will only be weaker."

"What if the enemy attacked from multiple routes?"

"Haha, this is even simpler. Just catch the attack all the way. Can the Japanese still fly away? When one of them is eliminated, then turn back and eat another one. We have an advantage in mobility. Therefore, I judge that the enemy will defend to the death and fight fortress with us in a dignified manner! Therefore, the battle will be very difficult, and don't think about it becoming a devastating defeat war. Annihilation war is a tough bone, and you can only chew it slowly!"

"I understand, sir, please arrange the task!"

"Very good, now order General Yu She!"

"The last one will be here!"

"Your unit will rely on the tuition of Economy and attack steadily towards the clan statue, not seeking speed but seeking stability!"

"promise!"

"General Li Yuanzhi!"

"The last one will be here!"

"Order your troops to attack and attack in the direction of Beppu. The range can be determined by yourself. The purpose is to strike and delay the speed of returning to aid from the south, create conditions for Zhang Zhiyuan's pursuit, and try to annihilate this group of Japanese troops in the area south of Fukuoka!"

"Get orders!"

"General Zhao Yun!"

"The last one will be here!"

"The order of your troops to attack the direction of Zhongjin is also mainly aimed at breaking the enemy's company camps and camps, creating opportunities for subsequent alien troops to attack and encircle and annihilate the enemy. You can grasp the specific situation yourself."

"promise!"

"I will lead the troops of our headquarters to attack the direction of Iizuka."

"Military advisor, you forgot the last general!" Chen Han couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Haha, I haven't forgotten. If you don't have to wait a little bit of your mission, now you can assist General Yuan Zhi first! But the troops cannot stay away from the East Coast."

"No!" Chen Han replied happily loudly

Guo Jia glanced at everyone: "Everyone, the Battle of Fukuoka may be the last battle of the Kyushu Battle. Whether the Kyushu strategy can be completed this year depends on the efforts of everyone here. The lord said that he wants to host a new naming and registration ceremony in the New Year. Whether it will be successful depends on everyone!"

"Please rest assured, lord, you will definitely take all Jiuzhou in the New Year!" Li Yuanzhi said confidently.

"Take all the Kyushu!" The generals also responded with confidence in unison.

"Is the Han army finally going to start?"

"Hi! The General General, the Han army launched an attack from the direction of the zodiac, Iizuka, and Nakatsuki, and also harassed and attacked the direction of Beppu."

"Yu Xi! What should be come is always coming. We are carefully building the Fukuoka Great Defense Zone, just waiting for this day to come. The storm gathers in Fukuoka Castle, and let's fight together!"

Looking at the General Yamamoto's invincible smile, the Japanese General Staff all smiled with interest, but the degree of laughter must be grasped. After all, the current situation is not the time to laugh happily.

Gu Panshengxiong swept around, and Yamamoto Wudi focused his eyes on the sand table in front of him again. At first glance, the sand table was full of small fortresses. In the past six months, the Japanese were really not idle. Although there were shortage of supplies on Yingzhou Island, a large number of fortresses were still not short of stones. During this period, and after careful design by military staff familiar with the hot weapons war, the firepower of these fortress groups was covered with each other, and there were tunnels and trenches underground. Then there was a huge fortress around Fukuoka. If you want to capture this fortress, according to the estimates of the Japanese General Staff, there was no tens of millions of lives to fill it in. Don't even think about it.

Since the Han army wants to try the power of Fukuoka Fortress now, let’s do it!

"Everyone, you don't need to talk about how to fight. You have repeatedly deduced it countless times. If you still can't fight well, I really have nothing to say. Everyone will do their own duties and perform their duties. If you are negligent and lazy, you will be punished severely! You guys, it's time to win honor for the Emperor and victory for Yamato! Please!"

"Hi!"

It is completely different from the optimism of the General Staff. The Japanese on the front do not have that kind of confidence. Now the Japanese war is the turtle war. Not to mention the effect of this war, it is the most effective to hit morale. Moreover, the morale of the natives in the Japanese troops is already very low.

On the first day of the war, the Han army mostly carried out tentative attacks. On the one hand, they were familiar with the Japanese fighting methods, and on the other hand, they also had to find the Japanese weaknesses.

This is the case with defense. No matter how strong the defense line is, there will be weaknesses and loopholes. These things cannot be seen normally, and can only be exposed when fighting.

The Japanese hiding in the fortress do not have to suffer the damage of Han army's crossbows anymore. The trenches and tunnels effectively avoid the damage of catapults. But similarly, as long as the Han army does not come forward, the Japanese cannons can only stare at them. As for artillery, the Han army has long had a way to avoid the damage of artillery.

So, at the beginning, the Han army just built a base within the range and then shot against the Japanese from afar. In fact, neither side made any achievements. On the surface, the Han army had no choice but to deal with the Japanese!

But the fortress is dead, but people live. Moreover, the Han people have extremely rich war experience that no country in the world does not have. With their clever and flexible minds, even these huge fortress groups that the Japanese are proud of may not be able to stop the Han army from advancing (to be continued...)
