Hokkaido
Upon receiving news of Symphonia's plans to invade Hokkaido, orders were given out. Soon, sirens were ringing eveywhere, with ground troops all 780,000 troops, gathering in position, to defend Hokkaido. In addition, half of the Panzerkamph Imperial Japanese Guard, was also deployed, as mechanized/armoured infantry forces they were, to defend the island, while the other half, was brough out from hiding, patrolling Kyushu, anticipating an invasion there as well. In addition, air defences, as well as ABMs, were being readied, while coastal guns, as well as flaks, were prepared. Aircraft were also scrambled in massive numbers, to patrol the Hokkaido airspace, in case of a Symphonian assault. In addition, the naval forces around Hokkaido, massed up around the island, in preparation for the possible naval engagement with AFN naval forces.
All vessels, had their weapons at the ready, with powerful, hard to penetrate, defences, capable of smashing hard at anything coming within firing range. In addition, over 35% civilians of Hokkaido, with 120,000 troops, were evacuated with absolute success, into Isolated China, for use, later on, in this war. At sea, all Hokkaido fleets, were assembled, to foil AFN's plans of a Hokkaido front. The Admiral HIH Prince Fushimi Hiroyasu of 151 warships, famed WWII Admiral, saw as the AFN naval group, began to gather, off the Hokkaido coast. On ground, in Hokkaido, the enemy missiles, were swiftly delt with, as the bases scrambled their kinetic anti-missile in general defences.
Thousands of kinetic weapons flew in the air, blowing to shreds a big portion of what the Symphonians had launched. At Hakodate, the AEGIS cruisers, as well as destroyers, open fired their own hypersonic defences, launching a flurry of missiles, blowing down most of the Symphonian missile shot at Hakodate. On all fronts, most enemy missiles were shot down, with only a small portion reaching their intended targets while causing some damage to a couple of missile silos, yet not enough to disable them. Most of the Panzerkamph Imperial Japanese Guard, was reallocated to Hokkaido, to face the enemy. The other half, was deployed to Kyushu, with 800,000 other troops, to face the AFN possibility of invasion there. In addition, somehow, Jailpur has unblocked Japan, giving the Empire an extra boost of weapons, which were all deployed to Hokkaido's Defence. The Japanese were pleased to see that everything was falling into perfect planning...
In Hokkaido, Field Marshal Yamazuki no Masushiro, began to read his Order of Battle, as we speak:
In the ocean, Hokkaido's missile silos, fired 3 more ICBMs, non-nuclear yet still as damagingly powerful as if they were this time, also, this time, into the heart of the Symphonian fleets gathered around Hokkaido. The plan this time was to disperse the Symphonian fleet up North, to throw them into a dangerous situation. A salvo of 500 more kinetic cruise missiles, combined with 300 kinetic anti-ship missiles, as well as 120 Chinese carrier killers, were launched, headed for the Symphonian targets. At the incoming enemy fighters, 260 infrared missiles, were launched from their silos in Hokkaido, headed to attack the enemy F-35s. At the same time, the entire Hokkaido air forces, were scrambled, soon finding themselves, in the air, to combat the Symphonian crafts, deploying their weapons, activating their chaffs, jamming enemy radar, while using ECM tactics as well as sensor fooling, to fool the enemy into severe traps. The massive force of Zeroes, also took off, to engage the Symphonians.
Kyushu & Ryukyu Islands
Around those islands, Japanese plans of defence were quickly prepared. Upon receiving news of Symphonian planned invasion, forces in the area were quickly brought to the field:
In addition, around Kyushu as well as Ryukyu beaches, including Okinawa + Guam, land mines, claymores, IEDs, EFP explosives, coastal massive batteries, SAM coastal sites, coastal AA systems, coastal ABM systems, as well as spikes on the sand dunes, with some biological + chemical IED explosives filled with Mother Virus, or Red Plague, were put all over the beaches, as traps, against the impending Symphonian invasion. In case the biochemical weapons would be set off, Japanese troops, as well as all civilians on the mainland, put on their NBC suits, as well as airtight clothing + masks as well as oxygen tanks on the ready, should they need it, when they set off the trap, without warning on any Symphonian that would even dare charge ashore. At sea, around, in the waters, were densely packed with sea mines, depth charges, EFPs, as well as other sorts of traps at sea, would explode at the slightest sign of an enemy ship passing through. Japan was deadly, as well as she was efficient in her unconventional warfare...
Kyoto Bunker...
In the Underground Nuclear Military HQ or the Reich Bunker in Kyoto, the Imperial Sino-Japanese Military Command, began making plans for war with Symphonia. Their recent attacks on Hokkaido were inacceptable. The Imperial Sino-Japanese Naval Fleets made a simple request for evacuating civilians to an ally, yet it was blatantly denied, followed by an all out naval assault on Hokkaido. Symphonian forces also prepared a plan to attack the Kyushu Island, as well as Ryukyu Islands. Yet the Japanese already mounted an impregnable defence, one that would easily bring an end as well as foil the Symphonian invasion. Also, the plan, was to invade Symphonia itself. Yes, the plan was to invade them, to strike a defeaning blow in the hearts of their people, to make the pay for their war on Japan. It was time, time for the greatest naval assault in Japanese history. Time, for war...
The Emperor of Japan, was in Noravea, for political reasons, so, he could only attend the meeting by phone. Those part of the invasion plan, convened. General Li Kong Sinjiang, a Chinese Commander, a man, whom celebrates the Chinese/Japanese Imperial Union, with Air Marshal Kaesong Jinwaek Sojeonsu von Klautzewitz (a German/North Korean), as well as Admiral Vuong Dong Lai (a Vietnamese in the ISJN), along with their subordinate officers, convened a meeting. With them, was Uchiha Madara, whom had just returned from IndependentCanada, after talking with their Prime Minister Lucien Willbanks.
The meeting almost immediately began, with the Emperor being placed on the wireless connection, with his bluetooth, while the rest in the room, opened up a situation computer satellite generate image of Symphonia. The Order of War was also placed unto the screen:
"General, I wish to give you a clear understanding of Symphonian beach assault. Beach Alpha, is the main assault force. We invade, most of our mechanized/armoured infantry forces shall land there, with about 507,000 troops. Beach Beta/Bravo, is where we shall land the samurai forces, to use as a demoralizing effect on the enemy. Beach Delta, is where the air forces shall have an air field built there, to land aircraft, filled with an additional 50,000 paratroopers, later on. Beach Hell, is where 180,000 of the remaining unmentioned forces in the invasion, shall launch their own amphibious assault, then land as Special forces, to assault behind enemy lines. We shall wage unconventional warfare, guerrilla warfare, as well as conventional tactics. We shall have depleted uranium, kinetic rounds, as well as thermobaric rounds, + phasing rounds, deployed in our mechanized/armoured infantry forces. In addition, our air forces assigned for this invasion, shall launch a brutal bombardment of Symphonia, as well as attack their ships, raid their cities, plunge them into a bad situation. We must also attack targets of economic significance. In addition, naval as well as aerial strikes, shall provide covering fire, to the the troops invading ashore." the Emperor said, over the connection.
"My lord, may I suggest one more thing? We need war bonds, as well as massive printing of our currency, while adjusting it to Soviet standards, or we will not be able to spend that much in this war. In addition, we need to go into guerrilla warfare to secure victory, more easily. I am also an ardent supporter of a blitzkrieg offensive. In addition, may I suggest something, a bloody hell suggestion?" he said,
"Very well, mumble it to me, over the phone," the Emperor said,
The General went on then on then on about his plans to invade Symphonia as well as how it should be done, to succeed. Numbers were not as important as strategy, nor was quality of weaponry. Although Japan had both these things, it had still the need to compensate for Symphonia's bigger might. So, several plans were brought up before the Emperor's eyes...
"Very well, wakaterru. Shikashi, Air Marshal, you know what to do, do you?" the Emperor said,
"Geu reo seum ni dae! Jawohl! Da Kommandir! I must launch a coordinated aerial assault, in line with the naval pounding of the enemy, provide aerial cover for the invasion, as well as strike the Symphonian homeland, to cripple it." the Air Marshal replied.
Then, the Admiral assigned for this war, spoke,
"I see. We must launch a naval assault, striking important enemy coastal targets. However, other than that, should it be an easy strike, considering the beachead to be a desert? Little to no enemy troops would lie in wait for that long, without dying of de-hydration. We will come, yet, the nearby cities MUST be captured. It is imperative to do so, my Emperor."
The Emperor, on the other side of the line, in Noravea, speaking through his bluetooth, scratched his chin for a while, then played with his hair. After some time, he responded,
"Wakaranai. Indeed, Cadia, Seris, Ressurection, Skyview, West Genevira, shall all be a priority. We need to secure the mountainous region, as well as the nearby forest. We must also get our patrol boats into the river areas, to gain green water supremacy. We need the rivers, to feed the thirst of our troops. Very well. Any suggestion on the war plan's name?" the Emperor asked,
"This is going to be a bloody hell of a war, Jianggun." said the Chinese general, smiling a military grin.
"Ah, sounds good. This needs to be remembered. It will also be indeed a bloody hell of a war. So, we shall call this, Operation Ryūketsu Jigoku." the Emperor said, while emiting an evil grin.
"Hai! Wakarimashita!" the meeting room unamiously said, followed by, "Tenno Heika no O Kami Samurai, Banzai, Banzai, Banzai! HUO!!!" then the meeting was dismissed, with everyone going their separate ways.
Gathering the invasion force for war...
At the same time, General Li Kong Sinjiang, a Chinese Commander, of the Imperial Sino-Japanese Army, began plans to invade Symphonia. He mass conscripted troops, trained them, then gave them weapons. He also, made them into fanatic, killing machines, that certainly will not retreat that easily. He gathered his forces, while reading his
Massive amounts of lorries (trucks), as well as columns of mechanized/armoured vehicles, with parading troops, in all their glory, headed into their transport ships. The pilots, scrambled for their aircraft, took off, either to go into their carriers, or the longer range planes, flew straight away for Symphonia. The naval forces, were being assembled, with sailors doing their good byes, while entering their ships. The hatches of the submarines, closed up, then they submerged into the deep blue sea, while the navy soon followed. The General smiles, as He gathered his troops, then, they set sail from Miyazaki, to be headed for the Symphonian homeland, for the invasion to begin. They would arrive, in 3 days time...
Off the coast of Symphonia, long time later, after 3 days of sailing...at an empty beach landing area, Kanato Desert beach-head, Symphonia....
South Britannian Channel...Beach Alpha...Beach Bravo...Beach Hell...
Sino-Japanese forces made their way down the channel, approaching land, after leaving the Sea of Evedium. In addition, they finally caugh up with the air forces, regrouping together as a large force, ready to mount the full scale military offensive. It has finally begun. The war was on....
General Li Kong Sinjiang's forces, made their way, slowly approaching the Symphonian coast. The General, spoke,
"Men, this is a time of glory! A time when Symphonia, will pay for insulting our Empire! Our nation was the result of Chinese as well as Japanese, merging together, for one purpose, to create a powerful Pan-Asian empire, that would span the globe, bringing all man together. They will pay, these Symphonians, for their cowardly attempts on Hokkaido! They shall pay! We attack now, men! Tadakai!" he said
"HUO!!!!!!!!!!" the war cry rang the air, then followed by a, "Tenno Heika no O Kami Samurai Banzai, Banzai, Banzai!" roar.
Everything was in place, thus, the main offensive began. The Imperial Sino-Japanese Air Forces assigned for this task, flew off of their carriers, as well as from land nearby, to begin a massive air raid, on any Symphonian ship in the area, or to launch an air raid, on the Symphonian lands.
"You will strike their bloody lands. You will burn their crops. You will destroy their economy. Tora, tora, tora!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" the instructor said, as the pilots swooped down, over Symphonian territory.
Landing crafts, were soon getting within range of shore, with their doors slamming open, with troops getting out, for preparation of the charging ahead. At sea, the naval forces, open fired, unleashing a torrent of missiles, shells, as well as machine gun fire, over the enemy. The invasion, was soon to begin. First, however, came the naval as well as air strikes. Then, the land strike would soon begin...
Flying From Vietnam, arriving from Sea of Evedium, soon, beach delta...beach hell...
The Emperor of Japan, also promised the arrival of paratroopers, numbering the 50,000s; as well as a massive fleet of WWII era UBOATs, refitted with modern weapons, yet still cheap + easy to make, so 250 of these submarines, slowly made their way through the Sea of Evedium, beginning to home in on commerical shipping targets, attacking in wolf-pack formations.
Somewhere else, off of Vietnam, a massive force of 280 transport planes, armed to the teeth, flew off, headed for Beach Delta...
In addition, from the Hong Kong port, a fleet of heavily armed, strongly armoured metallic Chinese junk ships, moved out, transporting 180,000 guerrilla troops, to mount unconventional war against Symphonia...Noravea, has also agreed to lend a force of 60,000 volunteers to Japan, to aid in the conflict...soon, these forces shall arrive, as well...
The war was on, Operation Ryūketsu Jigoku has BEGUN...In the meantime, in Madagascar, a force of 56 Tu-200 Strategic Supersonic Long Range Heavy Bomber/Gunships designed by Tupolev-Mitsubishi branch of the People's Military Weapons Production Directorate, each carrying up to 77,000 kg in payload, were being readied for takeoff later on in the war, to commence strategic carpet bombing runs of Symphonia...
