Chapter 26: Attack on Kyushu Island (6)
As the old saying goes, there are more than 10,000 people who are boundless, and more than 100,000 people are tearing the ground and the sky. www.biquge.info As a means of retaliation and anger against the Japanese army, the Japanese army in Nagasaki Prefecture robbed the Japanese in Nagasaki Prefecture, and not only that, but the Japanese army who were bent on provoking the Japanese army drove these Japanese civilians who had become destitute all the way north, forcing them to attack the positions and defense lines of the Japanese army on Kyushu Island.
Nagasaki Prefecture is not the largest prefecture on the entire island of Kyushu, but the number of civilians living in Nagasaki Prefecture is not small, and the appearance of this large crowd on the periphery of the Japanese defense line on Kyushu Island immediately attracted the attention of the Japanese army, including Private 1st Class Kenichi Sagawa. Seeing a large group of people coming towards him, especially their eyes that were numb to the point of almost collapse, Sagawa Kenichi couldn't help but feel a heartache.
After the Japanese civilians who were driven by the servant army came in waves, and after sparing several waves of refugees in a row, Sagawa Kenichi and his companions also became numb, because even if all the rations on their bodies were taken out to help these numb-eyed civilians, it would probably be useless. "What the hell is going on?" Kenichi Sagawa, who finally couldn't stand it anymore, grabbed a young man who walked past him, stared at the other party's eyes and asked viciously.
"They, who robbed everything of value and set fire to our house, they said......" The young man who was grabbed by Kenichi Sagawa said this, and there was a pause in his words, and after glancing at Kenichi Sagawa, the young man with half of his swollen cheeks suddenly raised his voice and shouted. They say that if you don't leave Nagasaki Prefecture, you can only become a corpse. We tried to resist, but we didn't succeed, and they killed a dozen people. You are soldiers, why don't you go and fight them? Why do we watch our citizens being driven like domestic animals? ”
Often a small spark can start a fire, and the young man's voice is not really too big, but it still arouses the echo of some refugees around him. The eyes of these civilians looking at him and his companions made Sagawa Kenichi feel startled, and while secretly letting go of the other party, Sagawa Kenichi took a slight step back, and at the same time raised the rifle in his left hand and held it in front of him.
This action of Sagawa Kenichi is just a very ordinary guard action, and in the event of a riot among these refugees, Sagawa Kenichi, who is closest to them, can protect himself with a rifle that is crossed by his chest. It's a pity that the development of things did not go according to Sagawa Kenichi's expectations, just when he lifted the rifle with both hands, he heard someone among the refugees suddenly shouting loudly, and the refugees who were originally numb instantly became agitated, and before Sagawa Kenichi continued to retreat to widen the distance between himself and these refugees, the rifle in his hand had been grabbed by the young man just now.
Under the unexpected struggle of the other party, the rifle in Sagawa Jian's hand instantly changed owners, Sagawa Jian took a step forward and tried to recapture his rifle, but saw that the other party had already turned the rifle, and the muzzle of the black hole was pointing at his chest. "Yaga, what are you going to do?" Before Kenichi Sagawa could finish his words, he saw a ball of gunfire blooming from the muzzle of his gun, and then he only felt a sharp pain in his chest, and finally heard a crisp gunshot.
The gunshots appeared very suddenly, and the young man who fired the shot seemed to be stunned by his crazy actions, Sagawa Kenichi fell on his back with a bloody arrow in his chest, and a Japanese soldier Cao Chang standing behind Sagawa Kenichi was also injured by a projectile that penetrated Sagawa Kenichi's body, and the originally noisy Japanese defense line instantly became even more chaotic. "Boom" and "boom" ......, a series of shells smashed into the crowd, and at the same time, the fireworks and dust kept rising, and at the same time, the refugees who kept shouting ignored the shouts and commands of the Japanese soldiers, and directly poured into the Japanese positions in a flood of mountains and seas, and the Japanese defense line, which was originally quite orderly, was instantly rushed to pieces.
Several armored personnel carriers that kept spitting out metal projectiles appeared on the periphery of the Japanese defense line, and a large group of servant soldiers dressed in black also appeared at the same time. Relying on a large number of Japanese civilians as cover and pioneers, this vanguard force of the servant army, which numbered no more than 5,000 people, broke through the two lines of defense of the Japanese army in just two hours. Completely ignoring the casualties of Japanese civilians, the Servant Army was on the offensive, and as it was getting dark, the forward units of the Servant Army had advanced their front into the hinterland of Saga Prefecture and were facing off at the regrouping Japanese forces.
"Yes, I didn't expect the servant army to fight very well this time, so you can consider adding supplies to them." Originally, Zhuo Fei just wanted to use these servant troops to attract the attention of the Japanese army on Kyushu Island and create an opportunity for the Dangkou army that landed on Karatsu, but he didn't expect the servant army to advance the battle line all the way to the hinterland of Saga Prefecture.
With Zhuo Fei's order, the transport fleet, which was originally fully transporting the Dangkou army, had to be transferred to take out a part of the work of transporting supplies for the servant army, and the transport aircraft formation, which had already returned to Jeju Island, also temporarily dispatched a squadron to carry out an airdrop of supplies for the servant army in Nagasaki at night. The situation seemed to be very favorable to the umbrella side, but Zhuo Fei did not dare to be careless, and while continuing to dispatch British fighter units to strike at Kyushu Island, Zhuo Fei also ordered the bomber formation under the umbrella to carry out large-scale bombing of other parts of the Japanese mainland.
Attacking Kyushu Island has already shown the umbrella's determination to try to attack the Japanese mainland, Zhuo Fei knows that now is not the time to be merciful or hide his strength, only by concentrating all his forces at the beginning of the battle can he have a chance to continue to dominate in the next battle, otherwise all this done by the umbrella will be in vain. The battle on Kyushu Island kicked off, and the troops and material resources that had been hidden in the Jiaodong Peninsula under the umbrella were continuously sent to Kyushu Island, and the Korean Restoration Army, which had been replenished with a large number of materials, also actively launched an attack on the Japanese army in the south of the peninsula in accordance with Zhuo Fei's deployment.
Participating in it or watching from the sidelines, it is a difficult choice question for the Chongqing high-level to make a decision, Zhuo Fei has already passed the anger with Chiang Kai-shek in advance, so Chiang Kai-shek, who knows the whole situation, is the least anxious person. In order to prevent the German army from continuing the offensive, Stalin not only relocated all the industrial facilities on the Western Front, but also temporarily armed millions of troops to resist the German offensive.
Seeing that the situation in China had been stabilized, Stalin, who was anxious, immediately sent a secret envoy to China, trying to obtain the support of the Kuomintang at the same time, but also secretly contacted the CCP, hoping that the CCP could send troops to support the Soviet Union. At this critical moment, the CCP, which was discussing whether to send troops to support the Soviet Union, was the most reluctant to re-cooperate with the umbrella.
At the beginning of the founding of the Communist Party of China, it received great help from the Soviet Union, and during the Anti-Japanese War, the Soviet Union also sent a flight team to help resist the Japanese army, especially when the new army went north to retake the northeast, it also received a large number of weapons and equipment supported by the Soviet Union. All of this made it impossible for the CCP to ignore Stalin's pleas. It was difficult for the top leaders to make a decision for a while, but Chiang Kai-shek had already secretly ordered the two new army units stationed in the northeast to enter the Korean Peninsula, and when the Korean Restoration Army moved south to fight the Japanese army, the two new armies had to assume the task of securing the rear route of the Korean Restoration Army and defending the northern part of the Korean Peninsula.
The Chongqing high-level officials did not make a clear decision, and the only guarantee was to provide the Jiaodong base with unlimited weapons, ammunition and fuel produced by the Ruili Ordnance Base, but Zhuo Fei knew that with the development of the war and the change of the war situation, Chongqing would eventually make the right choice, but this choice would take time to verify step by step. At the same time, Angela, who is far away in Western Australia, is also actively hiring fleets from South America, and with enough means of transportation, Angela can transport the large amount of ammunition hoarded in Western Australia to Kyushu Island.
"Damn umbrella", the battle on Kyushu Island is getting more and more intense, and Hideki Tojo finally understands that it is the umbrella that launched this attack, and looking at the posture of the umbrella, this is the rhythm of attacking the entire Japanese mainland. If this had been a year ago, perhaps Hideki Tojo would have said that it was wishful thinking to protect the umbrella, but since the Cabinet decided to shift the focus of the war to the Americas, not only have a large number of front-line troops been transferred to the Americas, but also a large number of technicians who produce aircraft and heavy weapons and equipment have also been transferred to the Americas.
It must be fought, but how to fight and how to fight has become an extreme headache for Hideki Tojo, especially the strong air strength shown by the umbrella, which makes Hideki Tojo unable to deal with it. After only three days of fighting, the local air force had already lost more than 40 percent, and Hideki Tojo couldn't think of what he could do to block the continued attack of the umbrella once the local air power was lost.
It seemed that the Riverside Fleet could only be transferred back to the mainland first, and after dozens of war rehearsals with his staff officers, Hideki Tojo finally had to ask the cabinet to ask for instructions to return the Combined Fleet, which had suffered heavy losses in the Battle of England, to the mainland. When the Japanese Combined Fleet was helping the German army to carry out a landing operation on the British mainland in the English Channel, it was hit hard by the joint efforts of the United States and British air forces, and was resting in Germany at this time, so the Japanese cabinet could not approve Hideki Tojo's request, but said that it could send a newly formed fleet from the Americas back to China to help in the war.
