About This Novel
In early June 1942, the Japanese army, which was eager to win, suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Midway, and its desire for a quick victory was completely shattered. The Pacific War has since turned into a protracted war of attrition. After the Allied forces sounded the clarion call for counterattack, the beautiful Pacific islands, from the Solomon Islands, the Gilbert Islands to the Marshall Islands, all turned into blood-filled Shura fields. In order to seize these strategic locations, the Allied forces launched a large-scale amphibious landing battle unprecedented in history. In "Rage of Conquest", Ian Toll pointedly pointed out that the United States gradually gained an overwhelming advantage at this stage by virtue of its strong and stable resource supply, military output and logistical support, and by the end of the war it was a sure win. However, Japan's domestic and military forces continue to promote and beautify "Jade Sui", requiring troops and even civilians to fight to the end and die when there is no hope of victory. The result of this is that 1.5 Million Japanese soldiers and civilians will die before the Japanese rulers lose their fighting spirit...
