to July 1945, a re-evaluation of all intelligence and situations was confirmed. The Supreme Command of Japan believes that the landing of the US military will be carried out after the end of the typhoon season at the end of September, and the first landing of the US military in Kyushu area has been confirmed. Once the US military successfully lands in Kyushu, it will quickly set up naval and air force bases in Kyushu and Shiguo. It is possible that the US military will carry out landing operations in the Kanto region of the state in the spring of 1946, and a large number of elite US troops transferred from the European battlefield will be the main offensive force.
Japanese intelligence personnel analyzed that the US military might also log in to the Kanto area of Honshu in Izu Islands, and then used this as a springboard to directly log in to the Kanto area of Honshu in the late autumn of 1945. Or, considering the long flanking cover from Kyushu to Kanto, perhaps the US military will first occupy the line from Nagoya to Kyoto-Osaka -Kobe , split Japan into two, landing troops may cross the Korean Strait , and land on the coast of the Japanese coast of the present.
In June 1945, the Supreme Command of the Japanese Army and the various fronts reached a consensus on the local defense combat policy: the only way to win the local defense war is to never take a step back. When the landing US troops were attacked by the "Kamikaze" by suicide planes and suicide special attack boats, the coastal defense forces must firmly decisively eliminate the US troops on the beach.
The only thing the Japanese military can hope for at this time is the "Kamikaze" suicide force. This suicide attack is a crazy move that causes soldiers' lives to ignore, and a hysterical and crazy struggle to fight. This huge "Kamikaze" suicide force, including the Navy's suicide speedboats and the Air Force's suicide planes. These troops were considered by the Japanese mainland minister Anan Weiji : The "Kamikaze" special attack troops were the only key to winning in the local war of the empire.
The Japanese military believes that the defense of the Japanese army has an advantage, and encourages 100 million Japanese people to unite and eliminate the invading US troops on Japanese land. The top Japanese army leaders shouted the slogan "If you don't win, you will die", calling on all soldiers and people to exchange their lives for the lives of the enemy.
Looking back, it was extremely crazy that the Japanese Command and the military made the decision to commit suicide attacks on "Kamikaze". At the imperial meeting in June 1945, the Navy Minister talked about the possibility of destroying more than half of the landing ships by the "Kamikaze" special attack troops, and the premise that the "Kamikaze" special attack is fully committed to destroying enemy ships in the distance, no more than half of the enemy troops can land. If the time for the US military landing continues to be postponed, then there will be more time to prepare to expand the "Kamikaze" special attack team , and the probability of sinking the US fleet in the distant sea will be greatly increased.
In order to improve combat confidence, the United Airlines team under the command of the three generals of Hebian Zheng conducted a picture exercise in July 1945, which was a unilateral wishful thinking exercise. Suppose 16 US military divisions landed in Mian Kyushu in October, the Japanese General Staff calculated that the "Kamikaze" suicide aim would sink 500 enemy transport ships, while the seaplane and suicide speedboats could sink 125 US transport ships, accounting for one-third of the total capacity of US transport ships. In other words, almost five US divisions and "Kamikaze" died together in this exercise.
is on land. By August 1945, the Japanese Army's local defense forces had 2.35 million men, forming 53 infantry divisions and 25 brigades, as well as 2 tank divisions and 27 tank brigades and 4 air defense divisions. The configurations of these 55 army divisions are: 35 divisions and two tank divisions in the province; 4 divisions in the Siguo region; and 14 divisions in the Kyushu region. In addition, all Japanese citizens were mobilized to form 2.25 million Army non-combatants, 1.3 million Navy non-combatants, 250,000 Special Garrisons, 28 million militia and paramilitary organization members. The Japanese government has passed the "Volunteer Military Service" bill, which stipulates that all men between the ages of 15 and 60 and all women between the ages of 17 and 40 must serve in the military. The Japanese Army, which once dominated Asia for a time, now has to recruit a large number of elderly people and children, equipped with bamboo guns and wooden sticks to prepare to go to the battlefield. Isn’t it just a nonsense and joke, or just the last struggle before failure and destruction.
By August 1945, the situation of the war had changed significantly. On August 6, the US military dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima . On the 9th, the US military dropped a second atomic bomb in Nagasaki. On the same day, the Soviet Union declared war on Japan and sent troops to Northeast China.
On August 15, 1945, the Japanese Emperor Hirohito broadcast the " Armistice Decree ", announcing his acceptance of the various conditions stipulated in the " Potsdam Announcement " and surrender unconditionally.
At this point, the "Olympic Action Plan" formulated by the United States and the "War of the Serious Operation" plan formulated by Japan were suspended on its own with the announcement of Japan's unconditional surrender.
