Chapter 730: Attacking Jinzhou

"Great!"

The boiling office was the first to hear the excited voice of Takushiro Hattori, and then everyone present became smiling, this news was really a timely rain for the Kwantung Army. Pen ~ fun ~ Cabinet www.biquge.info the strength of the Japanese combined fleet they are naturally clear, the Japanese government every year to invest more than half of the funds in this fleet, after more than half a century of Beijing camp, finally built a world's third largest fleet in Asia, although this fleet suffered a crushing defeat at Midway last month, but to deal with the Chinese navy is more than enough.

"Good!"

Yoshimoto Sadachi also said with a happy face: "As long as our fleet of the Japanese Empire can cut off the sea passage of the Third Army of China, then this army will become a lone army, and as long as the imperial army blocks them in the area of Huludao, they will not be able to escape!" ”

Unlike his smiling subordinates, Umezu Mijiro, as the commander, naturally wants to maintain his demeanor, although his eyes are also happy, but he nods very reservedly.

"Yo Sai, Yoshimoto-kun has a point. Su Jin estimated that he had been used to it in the Guannai in the past few years, and he even let out wild rumors that he wanted to seize Manchuria, so we would let him know what was the difference between the Kwantung Army and those armies in the Guannai! ”

As soon as Umezu Mijiro's words fell, another staff officer pushed open the door and ran in, and before Yoshimoto Sada's words could speak, the staff officer gasped and said loudly to Umezu Mijiro: "Your Excellency Commander, our agents lurking in Chongqing have sent information that the commander of the Shina force that attacked Huludao is Su Jin himself, Su Jin...... Su Jin...... He came to the Northeast in person! ”

"Boom ......"

The news dropped on the office like a 500-pound bombshell, making almost all the Japanese officers jump.

"Whoa......

Yoshimoto Sadachi was the first to stand up, he grabbed the staff officer's collar and shouted, "Nani...... Did you know that lying about the military is punishable by shooting? ”

The young staff officer was taken aback by Yoshimoto Sadachi's attitude, and stammered, "Participate in ...... Your Excellency Chief of Staff, it is indeed true, this news is indeed sent by an agent lurking in Chongqing, as for the authenticity, I do not know. ”

"Whoa......

At this time, all the officers in the office heard it clearly, and many of them stood up excitedly, and their eyes showed a dazzling light, this is Su Jin. Up to now, the name Su Jin may be a little worse if it can make children stop crying in Japan, but if it is necessary to make the name of the person most hated by all Japanese citizens and soldiers, Su Jin can definitely deserve to be at the top of the list. The Suzuki Brigade was completely annihilated, the 3rd, 6th, and 9th Divisions were heavily damaged, and Fukuoka was bombed, judging from the things he had done since his debut, the Japanese soldiers and civilians who died in his hands were not 670,000 but 450,000, and this alone was enough for the entire Yamato nation to make him a villain and prick him with needles for 500 years.

It's a pity that this kind of thing can only be vented in my heart, although I don't know how many days I myself gritted my teeth and wanted to eat his flesh and blood, until now people are still alive and kicking, and the official is getting bigger and bigger. In order to eliminate the biggest enemy of the empire from the spirit to the body, the Japanese don't know how many ways they have thought of, assassination, poisoning, slander, slander and so on have been tried, the terrible death of the chief Su has done a very meticulous job for the safety of himself and his family, just around his residence is stationed a guard regiment of more than 3,000 people, every time he goes out, he is hugging back and forth, in the past two years in order to assassinate him, I don't know how many excellent agents have been lost, but now this guy is actually on the front line in person, This is undoubtedly great news for Rii himself.

"Kill him, you must kill him!" This is the common heart of these Japanese soldiers at this time.

"Your Excellency, Commander, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Takushiro Hattori almost jumped up and yelled.

"Yes, this is the best opportunity that Amaterasu has personally given us, if we can wipe out Su Jin here, even if we pay a big price for it!" The deputy chief of staff, Major General Junhisa Ikeda, also gritted his teeth and popped out of his teeth.

"Yes, as long as Su Jin can be eliminated, even if it is a million Kwantung Army, all the jade will be shattered!" The officers present roared in unison, if Su Jin saw this scene here, he would probably be shocked, how much the officers must hate themselves these days!

Umezu Mijiro secretly rolled his eyes, when he became an official, what he thought of and saw in his position was naturally not as simple as these subordinates. Don't look at the past few days, Umezu Mijiro is angry at every turn, but when it comes to really big things, he is the one who can calm down the most.

If he really wanted to exchange the million Kwantung Army for Su Jin's life as those officers shouted, it is estimated that Emperor Hirohito would be the first to tear him up and eat him. After all, without the Kwantung Army, it would be equivalent to the loss of Manchuria, and without the support of Manchuria's resources, the entire Japanese Empire would be paralyzed by half.

He pondered for a while before he pondered and said, "I can understand the feelings of the monarchs, but we are all soldiers of the empire, and we can't rely on feelings to do things, so it's better to say less like what I just said." ”

Hearing this, many officers in the office were anxious, although they were afraid of the majesty of Umezu Mijiro and did not dare to say anything, but many people's faces already showed inappropriate looks.

Speaking of this, Umezu Mijiro's eyes swept around everyone's faces, and finally fell on the second section chief of the intelligence director, Toshio Nishimura, who had not spoken, and said lightly: "Nishimura-kun, what do you say?" ”

Toshio Nishimura, who was named by Umezu Mijiro, hurriedly bowed and said: "Hai, Your Excellency the Commander has a point, it is better to say less in the future with the life of a million Kanto athletes in exchange for Su Jin's life." ”

"Toshio Nishimura!" Someone present immediately roared, these people did not dare to oppose the commander of Umezu Mijiro, but Nishimura Toshio, the head of the intelligence section, they were not afraid.

"Gentlemen, be silent!" At this time, Umezu Mijiro's voice rang out, "Let's listen to what Nishimura-kun said first, Nishimura-kun, you continue!" ”

"Hay!"

Toshio Nishimura nodded slightly before saying, "Gentlemen, although I also hate Su Jin, a guy who has caused heavy losses to the empire, but as soldiers of the empire, we can't be blinded by hatred. Don't forget that now the Soviets are deploying millions of troops in Outer Mongolia, the Americans have just severely damaged the Empire's combined fleet at Midway, and the four aircraft carriers Soryu, Kaga, Flying Dragon, and Chicheng have been sunk, which of these things is not more important than the matter of Su Jin? Taking 10,000 steps back, even if we kill that Su Jin today, is it possible that the empire will be able to conquer China tomorrow? No, even if we kill that Su Jin, it still won't change much of the overall environment of the empire, that's the truth! ”

Listening to Toshio Nishimura's words, everyone was dumbfounded. Although they wanted to refute, they were all dumb when the words came to their lips, because what Nishimura Toshio said was the truth. To put it objectively, if we talk about the losses and threats caused to Japan, the Americans don't know how many times more serious than Su Jin, no matter how powerful this Su Jin is, he is just holding on his own territory and starting a war with Japan, the two sides have been fighting for four years, and Su Jin has only wiped out two or three hundred thousand Japanese troops and hundreds of thousands of civilians at best, and at first glance it seems that the losses are very large, but it is nothing to Japan, which has millions of reserve troops and 70 million civilians.

Once upon a time, Japan was invincible in the ocean because it had more than 20 aircraft carriers, but in the First Battle of Midway, the Americans destroyed four aircraft carriers and one heavy cruiser of the navy that Japan had spent more than half a century building, more than 3,000 elite sailors were killed, and hundreds of pilots who had undergone long-term rigorous training were sunk in the sea. Compared to such losses, the Japanese soldiers eliminated by Su Jin were just cheap cannon fodder that could be recruited with only a few penny stamps.

But why did Ri himself hate Su Jin the most, but he didn't have much resentment towards Spruance, Fletcher and other American generals who completely annihilated Nagumo Zhongyi's fleet, and the reason was because of the reason that Ri himself despised Huaxia in his bones. Ever since the Japanese navy completely annihilated the Beiyang Fleet in the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, the Japanese no longer regard China as a country of the same level as themselves, and the reason why the Japanese propaganda of the excellence of the Yamato nation and the belittling of the Chinese nation from top to bottom is to blame. All these things that Su Jin did to Japan are subverting the long-term perception of the Japanese people, which is the reason why Su Jin is hated by all Japanese people.

Glancing at everyone in the office, Umezu Mijiro groaned again. Although he won't bury the entire Kwantung Army with Su Jin, it doesn't mean that he doesn't want Su Jin's life. After all, this guy has brought too much pain to the empire in the past few years, and the casualties of the troops are still secondary, and the most important thing is that the methods of this guy are too inferior, what incendiary bombs, poisonous gas bombs, heavy bombs and other weapons are used in the war against Japan, so that even Emperor Hirohito has released words, as long as any general can kill Su Jin, he can get his personal reception and method medal.

Although Umezu Mijiro was already the commander of the Kwantung Army at the time, and his military rank had been promoted to general, it stands to reason that he should be content, but Umezu Mijiro still hopes that he can wear the rank of marshal before he retires.

Thinking of this, Umezu Mijiro took a deep breath and said, "Since the navy has promised to send out to intercept the transportation department and fleet of the people of China for us, then it will be up to us next." I think that three or four main divisions can be drawn from the troops stationed in Mongolia to go south, surround Su Jin and his lone army, and then completely annihilate them! ”

"Three or four main divisions?"

Everyone was startled at first, and then someone couldn't help asking: "Your Excellency, commander, what if the Soviets take the opportunity to attack with so many troops at once?" ”

"Attack?" Umezu Mijiro sneered: "Yoshimoto-kun has just said that the Soviets are now too busy to take care of themselves, and it is too late for them to be happy to see us take the initiative to withdraw our troops, where is the courage to take the initiative to attack us?" Now that the Navy has cut off their back roads for us. Although I just said not to arbitrarily say that I would exchange the lives of millions of Kanto athletes for the life of Su Jin alone, if it is possible, I still don't mind personally leading troops to eliminate him......"

As Umezu Mijiro's sinister voice resounded in the office, a conspiracy against Su Jin was rapidly brewing......

"Boom ......"

A heavy bomb weighing 500 kilograms landed at the gate of Jinzhou City, and the huge shock wave blew up all the buildings within a radius of more than 200 meters. As the explosion sounded, an SBD senseless dive bomber whizzed past the city walls.

More than 2,000 meters outside the city, more than a dozen M40 155-mm self-propelled guns were firing at the city gate, and dozens of kilograms of shells continued to explode around the city wall, and thick gunpowder smoke rose into the sky.

More than a thousand meters away, Fred stood next to an armored command vehicle and nodded as he looked at the city walls that had been covered in smoke. After a while, he turned his head to the staff officer beside him and said, "Staff Officer Ma, you can launch a general attack if you give notice!" ”

"Understood!"

With the order issued, the armored soldiers who had been waiting anxiously for a long time launched tanks one after another, and hundreds of steel monsters launched attacks on the four city gates of Jinzhou respectively, and the roar of the engine almost shook the entire Jinzhou City.

On the top floor of a building hundreds of meters away from the city gate, a Japanese soldier was holding a telescope to carefully observe the situation at the city gate, looking at the city wall that had been engulfed in fire and smoke. ”

"Your Excellency, the Captain, the people of China have begun to attack!" A captain said from the side.

"I see it." Shao Zuo Shen said impatiently, and then ordered: "You immediately tell all the troops that all squadrons and squads have to defend their own areas, and everyone is not allowed to retreat, even if they die, they will die on the combat post!" ”

"Hay!"

"Rush in...... Everyone rushed in after the tank! ”

Before the smoke cleared, the infantry of the two regiments rushed into Jinzhou City from the four gates with hundreds of tanks.

Liu Dongqiang shouted loudly, he was reminding the soldiers around him to follow the tank as much as possible, to protect themselves and protect the tank in front, in the war, the relationship between the tank and the infantry is mutual. While the tank provides the infantry with a hard shield, the infantry also acts as the tank's eyes and removes the sudden appearance of enemies. (To be continued.) )
