At this time.
Wuhan region.
The Japanese Fourth Division, with over 20,000 soldiers, was marching, their ranks dense.
Thousands of horses pulled light and heavy artillery, while hundreds of trucks and armored vehicles transported various supplies.
These supplies were traded along the way, generating a massive amount of real gold and silver.
Division Commander, Lieutenant General Abe, "My esteemed Class A Division, turned into a merchant division?!!"
Abe gradually became infected by the mercantile atmosphere within the division, transforming into a shrewd businessman. Of course, he also acquired significant wealth.
Several regimental commanders said, "Division Commander, our Osaka Division, due to our national characteristics, has a strong business atmosphere, drawing heavily on Osaka’s recruitment!"
Abe looked frightened. "The Red Alert army is too brutal. 200,000 Japanese soldiers were defeated. Thank goodness my division retreated quickly!"
"Yes!"
"Saving our lives is paramount, no need to fight desperately!"
"Our lives belong to us, not the Emperor!"
Many other Japanese divisions were decimated during World War II, but only the Osaka Division surrendered with full combat strength.
Abe ordered his soldiers to march faster. At that moment, he saw planes.
A dense swarm of Red Alert aircraft descended, dropping bombs.
Boom boom boom
A few bombs weighed two tons, while most were 250 kilograms and 500 kilograms.
Abe urgently ordered all the Osaka Japanese soldiers to wave white flags, "Surrender! We surrender! Surrender!"
…
Lin Zheng was surprised yet unsurprised by the Osaka Division's surrender.
He looked down upon the Osaka Division's surrender but recognized its significance.
Lin Zheng could imagine the shock of other Japanese divisions. While most Japanese divisions fighting the Red Alert army perished in battle, the Fourth Division surrendered en masse!
The Empire of Japan had a huge blow to its shame!
Shame!
Shame!
Thinking about this, Lin Zheng felt a surge of joy.
Lin Zheng had secured most of the southern region and was gradually eliminating remaining forces, setting his sights on the Shanghai region.
…
Lin Zheng selected 220,000 soldiers from the 720,000 who had landed, boarding transport ships to approach the mouth of the Shanghai River.
Under Lin Zheng's command, the Ao Qin aircraft carrier deployed 30 F18 fighter jets, with a maximum combat radius of 800 kilometers.
Four Aegis-equipped cruisers and over 40 Red Alert destroyers were also dispatched.
Whizz whizz whizz....
The scene of dozens of warships firing missiles simultaneously was spectacular.
Modified Medusa missiles.
Possessing ground-attack capability.
Hundreds of missiles descended.
Boom boom boom...
The 15th, 22nd, and 60th Divisions, along with several mixed brigades, combined to form a 100,000-strong Japanese force.
The Japanese positions were engulfed in flames and explosions.
The Japanese general was the renowned Matsui Iwane, a brilliant commander who had distinguished himself in previous battles like the Battle of Shanghai, rising to the rank of General and even serving in the cabinet later.
Matsui Iwane stared at the battlefield, his face expressionless.
"Why does this scene feel so familiar?... Ugh, when the Empire of Japan launched the Battle of Shanghai, we used warships to suppress the Nationalist forces, now it's the Red Alert forces suppressing the Japanese!!"
Boom boom boom...
The soil in the Shanghai region was soft, making it impossible to construct strong fortifications.
Under the force of the one-ton Medusa missiles, they were simply no match!
The Japanese soldiers were terrified!
They understood the Shanghai meat grinder of the past!
The kind of carnage where a division was completely wiped out each day.
Shanghai River Mouth, Chuan Sha District, Bao Shan District.
Three areas.
Japanese divisions were systematically destroyed... Especially the 15th Division, all four infantry regiments perished, along with artillery and logistics regiments, a total of 22,000 men were wiped out on the first day.
The 22nd and 60th Divisions collapsed, Kobayaski Nobuo was killed on the second day.
The remaining mixed brigades were destroyed on the third day. The Red Alert soldiers had cleared all positions and successfully landed.
Matsui Iwane stared at the battlefield, closing his eyes in despair.
Matsui Iwane was despairing "Shanghai has fallen... I won't be able to enter the Japanese cabinet with this defeat!"
…
Meanwhile.
The Eagle Sauce Empire of the American continent.
In the Eagle Sauce White House, Roosevelt was carefully reading the documents in his hands.
"Can you confirm that the new battle in the Shanghai region ended in just three days?"
Although Roosevelt's words were a question, he stated it with certainty.
Roosevelt couldn't help but be amazed by the speed of the battlefield situation. It was simply too fast.
Roosevelt pondered carefully, as president, he understood the Eagle Sauce economy. The Eagle Sauce economy was already the world leader. If they went full-fledged to war, they could quickly produce tens of thousands of tanks. Even hundreds of escort carriers.
Roosevelt thought about the recent ideas of the Eagle Sauce's business magnates. All the major conglomerates wanted to retaliate against Lin Zheng, avoiding any impact on their business.
The current world situation was becoming increasingly tense.
