readx;?“ Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Four deafening explosions landed on Liu Jinkui's position outside the village, setting off a cloud of dirt and debris flying all over the sky. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

A piece of dirt wrapped in rotting grass fell on the steel helmet above Liu Jinkui's head, thumping.

Liu Jinkui shook his head and looked at the other comrades-in-arms in the trench, fortunately, this was only the first round of shelling by the devil, and the shells all fell outside the trench, causing them no damage.

Not long after, the second round of artillery bombardment of the devils arrived as scheduled, and the rumbling explosions sounded again.

Flames and gunpowder smoke intertwined and rose on Liu Jinkui's position.

!Pig! Pig! Island! A soldier is unfortunate enough to be hit in the arm by raging shrapnel, and immediately blood is pouring out, and soon the medics move to his side and brave the artillery fire to bandage him.

In fifteen minutes, the devils fired no less than ten volleys, pouring dozens of explosive shells on Liu Jinkui's position.

However, because the artillery was too small and not very powerful, it did not cause much damage to the national army, and the only thing left was a few scary-looking craters outside the trench fortifications.

As soon as the artillery fire stopped, about hundreds of devil soldiers on the north bank of the river swarmed in and launched a charge against the position of Liu Jinkui's platoon.

A dozen light and heavy machine guns from a squadron of heavy machine guns of the devils were the first to roar, doing their best to provide fire support to their attacking troops.

Although the Devil's machine guns were far inferior to the MG34 general-purpose machine gun known as Hitler's chainsaw, although the fire was far less sustained and powerful, more than a dozen fired at the same time.

It was still a bit powerful, and bullets kept whizzing past Liu Jinkui and them, and bullets were slamming on the bunker outside the trench in front of them.

Dust and smoke are filled, and grass clippings are flying.

Most of the devils waded directly across the river from the shoal just now, and the other devils transferred a few small sampans from somewhere, and also began to cross the river.

This time the devils were menacing and numerous, and Liu Jinkui did not wait for them to cross the river completely before attacking. That is a great risk, once your own firepower cannot suppress the opponent, then it is likely that the devil will break into the position.

At that time, your team's numerical disadvantage will suffer greatly in melee combat.

Therefore, not long after the devil began to cross the river, Liu Jinkui raised his gun and pulled the trigger in the air.

The sound of gunfire was an order, and ten general-purpose machine guns, dozens of Garand rifles and MP38 submachine guns opened fire.

A dense and intersecting network of firepower was formed, which shrouded the heads of the attacking devils.

Da Da Da ...... Under the fierce and dense firepower, the devil soldiers who crowded across the river could not dodge, and fell down in pieces.

The devils who crossed the river with a sampan were also strafed by fire. They all screamed and fell into the river.

At Liu Jinkui's signal, two 60mm mortars also opened fire one after another.

Drop grenade after grenade at the Japanese troops.

Boom, another grenade fell, just beside a few devil soldiers who had just crossed the river, and the raging explosion immediately knocked several devils to the ground.

......Under the control of the machine gunner, the MG34 general-purpose machine gun deployed on the position was like a murderous snake that kept spitting out tongues of fire, and the devil soldiers continued to fall under its point shot.

After paying no less than 50 casualties, a devil finally came ashore, and rushed towards the position of the national army with a gun and shouting.

At this time, two grenadiers and two shoulder-mounted Bazooka rocket launchers, which had not been firing, suddenly opened fire.

Suddenly caused a lot of damage to the devil. Combined with the mortar near and far, it dealt a fierce blow to the Japanese army who were attacking frantically.

The submachine gunners and bombardiers also threw their full fire, and the devils who rushed up fell in a pool of blood.

On the opposite bank, in the wing headquarters of the Japanese army.

Imoto Daisa saw this. angrily swung his fist and slammed the wooden stand next to him, "Eight Ga Yalu, Eight Ga!" ”

Seeing that the 1st Brigade suffered heavy casualties, the first attack ended in failure. The anger in Inomoto's heart can be imagined.

When the devil receded like a tide, Liu Jinkui gasped for breath and reloaded his pistol magazine while pulling his throat and said, "Brothers. Look at it, if you don't see it, you have to fight like this when you beat the little devils.

They were all raised by their mothers, and the bullets had to be holes in their bodies, and few of them could survive! ”

At this moment, a red signal flare suddenly rose from the east, Liu Jinkui's face changed greatly when he saw this, and he immediately shouted: "First squad leader, immediately take someone to the second platoon to have a look, if you need reinforcements, give me to join the battle immediately!" ”

"Yes!" A squad leader answered, and left along the trench with more than a dozen officers and soldiers.

………………

West of Tokyo, Wako area.

Wang Longxiang's two airborne regiments built a two-kilometer-long defensive line here, and the area held reached 10 kilometers long.

In this area of more than 10 kilometers, they specially picked bridges, rivers and other traffic points to defend, made full use of the terrain, and deployed layers of defense in a cascade pattern to resist step by step.

Tens of thousands of Japanese reinforcements from Nagoya and other areas west of Tokyo were prevented from advancing at all.

In front of the positions of the defensive units of the various airborne regiments, there were Japanese corpses everywhere.

From time to time, our own fighters attacking Tokyo passed by, carrying out some air raids and strafing as many Japanese reinforcements as possible.

To a certain extent, the pressure faced by Wang Longxiang's department was relieved.

In a seemingly dilapidated Japanese village that is almost in ruins, Wang Longxiang's headquarters is located in it.

About a company of guards was stationed here.

In the headquarters, Wang Longxiang and an adjutant were gathering in front of a map to discuss the military situation.

At this time, a major of the Airborne Forces walked in and saluted Wang Longxiang: "Commander, the little devils have been repelled by us again, these devils seem crazy, and their firepower is far worse than the devils we fought in Korea and Northeast China before.

The quality of the soldiers is not comparable either. ”

Wang Longxiang said: "Of course, the people who fought with us at the beginning were all active Japanese troops, elite divisions that had been trained for a long time, and now these are all reserves and a large number of civilians composed of the little devils hastily pulled up, and the combat effectiveness is naturally incomparable."

However, you must not be too careless, and must be in good spirits to meet the enemy, and we must not let any devil soldiers pass through us until the city of Tokyo is captured. ”

"Yes, please rest assured, Commander, with our airborne regiment here, the little devil will not think about moving forward even a step." The major assured.

………………

In the city of Tokyo, the headquarters of the Japanese army's base camp in the lower room.

Ishihara's face was extremely solemn, and Seishiro Itagaki next to him said: "Ishihara-kun, the situation continues to deteriorate, and the elite of the Chinese army that attacked the city from the east of the city has advanced no less than three kilometers.

Although their offensive was temporarily blocked by us, our casualties were too great.

The reinforcements to the north and west were again blocked by the Chinese blocking forces, and they could not come for a while.

If the situation continues to deteriorate like this, I suggest that we must persuade His Majesty the Emperor once more to agree to break through the siege, and I will organize the last elite forces to cover him to break out of the siege! ”

Ishihara pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Itagaki-kun, you can enter the palace with me." ”

"Okay." Seishiro Itagaki nodded in agreement.

Escorted by the guards, the two men came out of the basement, boarded an armed armored car, and drove towards the Japanese Imperial Palace at the risk of being bombed.

Half an hour later, the two met Hirohito at Emperor Hirohito's bedroom.

"Your Majesty, the war situation is deteriorating, and I implore you to agree to evacuate Tokyo immediately." Ishihara and Itagaki Seishiro knelt down and said.

Emperor Hirohito looked at the two of them and said lightly: "Two Aiqing, don't you know that US President Roosevelt has officially announced to the world that the United States has declared war on China?"

As long as the Americans declare war on the Chinese, then the Chinese will surely lose, and victory must belong to our Great Japanese Empire! ”

"However, Your Majesty, the main force of the Americans' Pacific Fleet was attacked by Chinese underwater wolves in our waters and suffered heavy losses, and in a short time, the local forces could not reach it.

Therefore, they are far from us and cannot quench their thirst, and before the main force of the Americans arrives, we still need to bear the pressure from the Chinese army alone.

The current situation is getting worse, our casualties are increasing by tens of thousands every day, and the loss of Tokyo has become an inevitable result.

Your Majesty, you really can't stay here any longer, and as long as Your Majesty is safe and sound, we can continue to hold on and wait for the arrival of the Americans.

If something happens to you, it will be a devastating blow to the Japanese Empire. Ishihara patiently persuaded.

"Evacuate Tokyo? Where to go? Emperor Hirohito was a little dazed and said, "If I leave Tokyo, then Tokyo will inevitably fall in an instant, and once the main forces on the front know that our kingdom has been captured, will they still be able to persist in fighting the Chinese army?" ”

Ishihara lowered his head silently, he could think of all these situations, but relatively speaking, they didn't have a choice.

Seishiro Itagaki continued: "Your Majesty, the loss of Tokyo Castle will certainly be a blow to the morale of our front-line troops, but as long as they know that Your Majesty the Emperor is safe and sound, they will be able to regain their fighting spirit.

As long as we can hold out until American reinforcements arrive, we will be able to launch the most fierce counterattack against the Chinese and retake the territory we have been, and then victory will surely be ours. ”

Under the persuasion of Seishiro Itagaki and Ishihara Waner, Emperor Hirohito was obviously a little moved, and asked, "Two Aiqing, you tell me the truth, is Tokyo City really unable to hold on?" ”

Ishihara nodded solemnly and said, "Your Majesty, our reinforcements from the Nagoya and Sendai areas have been blocked by the blocking forces of the Shina people, and the defenders in the city have suffered heavy casualties. (To be continued......)
