When the defense gap was opened, the steel defense line built by Japan near the ports lost its meaning and could no longer stop the Chinese Expeditionary Force from sweeping the crazy sweep of Hokkaido.

On June 5, when Ouyang Shuo and his party arrived at Kushiro Port on the Yuhuang, the three armies commanded by Han Xin had completed the encirclement of Sapporo, the central city of Hokkaido.

In just two days, the Expeditionary Force swept the entire territory of Hokkaido, leaving only an isolated city in Sapporo.

Seeing that the enemy was unstoppable, Hokkaido guard Tokugawa Ieyasu dispatched all Hokkaido garrison forces to Sapporo, preparing to fight to the death with the Chinese Expeditionary Force here.

In contrast, although the Southern Route Army successfully landed on Kyushu Island, its progress on the island was not very rapid. After two days, only half of the island was captured.

After receiving the news, Ouyang Shuo sent a letter to Di Chen as the leader of the national war, ordering the Southern Army to speed up the progress and to enter Honshu Island as soon as possible, and complete the encirclement of the royal city of Edo in the Japan within the prescribed time.

Di Chen said that the terrain of Jiuzhou Island is complex, and the army needs to be steadily and never underestimate the enemy to advance rashly. After hearing this explanation, Ouyang Shuo just smiled coldly and made Di Chen's reply directly public.

No one is a fool.

Whether Di Chen's move deliberately caused trouble for Daxia or was under pressure from the hands of silver, Ouyang Shuo had to cooperate against his will to the Battle of Japan, or both.

As long as it is exposed, Ouyang Shuo doesn’t need to say a word, and the people’s hearts will naturally be against each other.

"Dig a grave by yourself!" Ouyang Shuo commented.

Of course, Di Chen is not a fool, but when he is in the hands of silver and enjoys the convenience brought by the organization, he will inevitably receive the constraints of the organization.

There is never a free lunch in the world.

Sure enough, as soon as the news came out, the crowd was excited, and the players asked Di Chen to give an explanation. Of course, Di Chen could not give anything, so he could only remain silent, and he must be very distressed inside.

Handan City's prestige in the Huaxia District has almost fallen to freezing point.

…………

On the morning of June 6, Sapporo.

After a day of fierce battle yesterday, the majestic Sapporo City was already ruined, with bloodstains on the city walls, and holes as big as millstones everywhere, as if they could collapse at any time.

At the foot of the city wall, the bodies of the participating parties were piled up into hills, and the blood oozed out dyed the moat outside the city red. There were only a handful of Japanese soldiers who could stand on the top of the city.

Everyone knows that Sapporo can no longer be kept.

Han Xin is worthy of being a master of tactics. It is precisely because of his "temperature and instant benefits" that he made the decision to quickly sweep Hokkaido that Tokugawa Ieyasu's arrangement seemed very hasty.

Sapporo, originally, it is not as stable as the tall city wall.

City Lord's Mansion.

Tokugawa Ieyasu looked at the generals in front of him, and his expression was not very depressed, but he seemed very furious. "Soldiers, Sapporo cannot be defended anymore, and there is no need to defend anymore. Even if we die, we will die in glory. We must bite a piece of meat from the enemy. I ordered the remaining troops to gather at the South Gate and take the initiative to attack."

"Hi!"

The generals also looked frenzied and looked at death as if they were home.

Tokugawa Ieyasu said loudly: "For us, this is the final battle, enjoy it!"

"Fight to the death, fight to the death!"

"Go!" Tokugawa Ieyasu shook his arm hard and issued the final military order.

The generals lined up to leave the city lord's mansion, assembled their troops, and rushed to the south gate in an orderly manner. The war was cruel, and only one day yesterday, most of the defenders of Sapporo were killed.

There are less than 30,000 people who can gather at present.

"Cruff~~"

The South City Gate opened actively, and outside the door was the Chinese army.

"kill!"

Thirty thousand fanatical people rushed out of the city gate with no chance, and then they could never look back.

…………

It's still the city lord's mansion.

After sending the last unit to the road to death, Hokkaido in Japan guarded the Japanese, Tokugawa Ieyasu, a three heroic hero in the Warring States Period, took a shower and changed his clothes, and then came to a quiet room that had been prepared long ago.

I saw him take out a septum knife specially used for septum, and slowly pierce it into his abdomen...

At 10:15 am on June 6, Tokugawa Ieyasu committed suicide by cutting his stomach in the castle lord's mansion. At the same time, the 30,000 Japanese remnants who rushed out of the city gate were all killed in less than two hours.

This also declares the entire territory of Sapporo Castle and even Hokkaido.

Tokugawa Ieyasu's death and the fall of Hokkaido became a landmark event in the Battle of Japan. It was unexpected that the Northern China Army of China took only six days to capture one of the four islands of Japan.

How can such a military power not make people scare?!

…………

On the afternoon of June 6, Ouyang Shuo and his party arrived in Sapporo City.

In Sapporo City, Ouyang Shuo made a passionate speech, highly praised the bravery of all the soldiers of the Northern Army, commended their merits, and rewarded the soldiers who performed outstandingly in this battle on the spot.

Even the player group has three people who receive rewards, each of which rewards one piece of purple gold equipment, which makes other players jealous. They fight to the death, just to exchange for one piece of purple gold equipment?!

Ouyang Shuo even said that after the army attacked Edo City, a group of outstanding soldiers would be rewarded, and the scale of the reward would be three times larger than this time.

Ouyang Shuo's richness is obviously a good catalyst. As soon as these words were spoken, the enthusiasm of the players instantly rose and they screamed one by one.

After commending, Ouyang Shuo met Han Xin alone and announced his opinions on Hokkaido. "Immediately send troops to loot all the food that can be found in the territory and support the front line; recruit all the people and civilian ships that can be recruited to be responsible for the transportation of food and grass; recruit all craftsmen to rush to build arrows and other consumable war materials for the army."

Ouyang Shuo used three "alls" in a row, which shows how firm the attitude was.

During this expedition, the transportation of food and grass was the biggest trouble. If we rely solely on the support of Daxia, we could not transport it back and forth a few times, which could not support the astonishing consumption of two million people.

Food and grass problems must be solved on the spot.

Before the National War began, Mikasa Castle had already controlled the cities and villages under his command, and it was impossible to find a large amount of food from the granary.

The only way is to plunder the food stored in the people's homes.

"Even if only one grain of rice is left, I will collect it for me. If the people do not want to be hungry, sign up for service. The army ensures their basic food supply. The remaining people will let them die."

Ouyang Shuo was so cold this time, not to mention that every Japanese should be killed. He is not so narrow-minded, but at an extraordinary time, he must use extraordinary means.

Taking Japan as soon as possible is the top priority.

"In addition to massacre of the people, the army can let go. I grant you the right to do it. Don't take the people's hearts into consideration, nor do you consider the impact of post-war reconstruction. Everything is based on the current war as the core priority."

Ouyang Shuo drew a bottom line for the army that it would never be allowed to cross.

The army massacres the people on a large scale, no matter who the target is, it is a taboo and will also be a big hidden danger to the army itself, harming others and oneself.

This hole must not be opened.

Even in the battlefield of Japan, Ouyang Shuo must stick to the bottom line of being a human being.

"clear!"

Han Xinzheng focused on the key point, the king rarely used such ruthless moves.

This battle is obviously no more than before.

Ouyang Shuo said: "Go and prepare for tomorrow's cross-sea battle, and formally send troops to the island of Honzhou."

"promise!"

Chapter completed!
