After several hours of long-distance travel, Zhang Xinghan and others finally arrived at Tianchuan City by car with the main force. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

and stationed in the headquarters that Xing Zhan sent someone to prepare for him early in the morning.

Entering the command headquarters, seeing that Xing Zhanqing had arranged everything in an orderly manner, Zhang Xinghan took the kettle handed to him by a guard who stayed behind, and just wanted to drink it to quench his thirst.

Suddenly, Guo Zhong ran in with a piece of paper and Wen Xing rushing in, and as soon as he saw Zhang Xinghan, he couldn't help but say excitedly: "Boss, good news, good news!" ”

"What's the good news?" Zhang Xinghan put down the kettle and asked curiously.

"Look at it, this is a commendation order and a letter of appointment from all the members of the Military Commission of the Nanjing National Government who the chief of staff has just transferred from Busan!" Guo Zhongxi handed the telegram to Zhang Xinghan in a discreet manner. (Chairman Chiang did not know that Zhang Xinghan had personally led his troops to the east to conquer Kyushu Island, so the telegram was sent to Busan)

Zhang Xinghan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and did not go to answer the telegram, Wang Yizhe next to him stretched out his hand to take it when he saw this, and read: "I am glad to hear that the general led the army to the east, broke the Japanese invaders in the East China Sea, and won countless victories, this battle is really a unique victory to raise the prestige of our country, the news came out, the whole country was excited, in order to commend the general's world-class military exploits, after the plenary discussion and decision of the Military Committee, the general is hereby appointed as the deputy commander-in-chief of the army, navy and air force of the Republic of China and the vice chairman of the National Military Commission and continue to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Frontier Army, I hope the general will make persistent efforts, Make new contributions to the country and the nation! ”

After reading it, Wang Yizhe, Zhao Zhenfan and the others glanced at each other with joy on their faces, and they all stepped forward in unison and said: "Congratulations on the promotion of the general seat!" ”

Zhang Xinghan was also a little surprised, after the telegram was issued, he thought that the Nationalist Government might give him some irrelevant rewards.

But what I didn't expect was that Chairman Chiang was so generous that he actually gave himself the post of deputy commander-in-chief of the army, navy, and air force, plus a vice chairman of the Military Commission.

Both of these are real positions of real power, and they look at the whole of China. Except for Jiang Guangtou, he is the largest Chairman Zhang.

You must know that Zhang Xinghan is only 27 years old this year, whether it is age or strength in hand, compared with Zhang Hanqing, the former deputy commander-in-chief of the army, navy and air force, Zhang Xinghan is definitely better.

After a short period of surprise, Zhang Xinghan quickly calmed down and instructed Guo Zhong: "Call back to the chief of staff immediately, and tell him to send a reply telegram to Chairman Chiang and other members of the Military Council in my name first, express my gratitude in private, and stabilize them first." I'll be working on other matters when I return home. ”

"Yes."

Guo Zhong answered, and hurriedly turned around and left.

After seeing Guo Zhong leave, Zhang Xinghan turned his head and asked Zhao Zhenfan: "Brother Guoping, how is the battle on the front line?" ”

"Oh, I just talked to Xing Zhanqing on the phone, the whereabouts of the main force of the Japanese army have always been under our surveillance, and there have been no accidents, Xing Zhanqing also took the tank unit to eat a cavalry wing of the devil, and he gained a lot." Zhao Zhenfan said with a smile.

Zhang Xinghan turned his head and asked Wang Yizhe: "Have the troops all set off?" ”

"We're all leaving. Time was pressing, all the troops did not rest, hurriedly replenished some food and continued to catch up along the road, and it was estimated that they would soon be able to catch up with Xing Zhanqing and them. Wang Yizhe hurriedly replied.

"Good. As long as the main forces of the enemy's 6th and 18th divisions are eaten, there will be no more threatening resistance on the entire island of Kyushu, and we will strive to occupy all of Kyushu by July and end the war, and build two or three air bases and two naval port bases on the island by the end of the year. Zhang Xinghan nodded happily.

Zhang Xinghan's voice fell. A communications soldier suddenly ran in in a hurry and saluted Zhang Xinghan: "General seat, Xing Zhanqing is in a hurry." The 6th and 18th Divisions of the Japanese Army suddenly dispersed desperately to break through, and although our paratrooper brigade and vanguard battalion tried their best to block the attack, they were unable to stop the enemy's breakthrough due to insufficient troops.

At present, the enemy has dispersed and broken through and fled, and Regiment Commander Xing requested that the battle plan be changed immediately and the troops should be divided into pursuit. ”

After the communication soldier finished reporting, Zhang Xinghan couldn't help frowning, it seems that the devil also realized that the crisis was quietly approaching, so he fought hard to break the net and let go.

This is so that the devils are right, after all, it is impossible to bluff the Japanese all the time.

Fortunately, now that the sky was basically bright, Zhang Xinghan thought for a moment, and then instructed the signal soldier: "You immediately call Xing Zhanqing back, and order all tank regiments, paratrooper brigades, and pioneer battalions to immediately disperse the pursuit, and at all costs, we must pursue and destroy the main force of the Japanese army as much as possible, and we must not give them a chance to return to the building."

In addition, in my name, I quickly ordered the air force flight regiments to take off immediately and rush to join the battle. ”

"Yes." The signal soldier hurriedly turned around and left.

More than 30 kilometers away, the sky was still a little hazy and gray at this time, and the road and the wilderness on both sides were already boiling.

Fierce firefighting ensued everywhere, and countless Japanese soldiers ran rampaging like frightened zebras, trying to escape the wolves.

More than 2,000 officers and men of the paratrooper brigade and the vanguard battalion of the reorganized 6th Division desperately opened fire to stop the attack, and the number of devils who died under their firepower increased in pieces, but they still could not stop all the devil soldiers who were scattering and fleeing.

Fortunately, Xing Zhanqing led three tank regiments and nearly 300 No. 4 tank fighting vehicles to arrive in time.

"Tom ......" one tank gun after another opened fire in vain, and the shells fell into the crowd of Japanese soldiers with dazzling flames, and a violent explosion broke out when they landed.

Dozens of devil soldiers were blown up into the sky, and the vehicle-mounted machine guns also opened fire, and a dense rain of bullets poured down like water, and countless devil soldiers fell to the ground screaming.

The panicked Japanese army was suddenly crushed and strafed by the tank army, and fell into an even more chaotic situation, and the breakthrough of some organizations at first quickly turned into separate battles.

In the absence of unified and effective command, the breakthrough of more than 20,000 devil soldiers quickly turned into a rout.

Xing Zhanqing, Wang Longxiang and others each commanded their troops to pursue, and an hour later, reinforcements from the three main infantry regiments of the reorganized 6th Division arrived first, and they were now in an advantage over the Japanese in terms of strength.

The chaotic pursuit soon took to an unexpected level.

Not only did the Japanese run out of order, but the 6th Division of the Northeast Frontier Army, as well as the three tank regiments and paratrooper brigades, also followed suit, and the troops were basically in company platoons or even squads, constantly chasing and killing all the Japanese troops they could see.

When tens of thousands of the main forces of the Northeast Frontier Army arrived, the situation on the entire battlefield was already in chaos, and when Zhang Xinghan learned of this, he immediately ordered the 3rd Division to advance eastward and capture the Kunito Peninsula, and the 4th Division to advance south along the Tagawa River to capture the Hita area, clearing the way for a large army to attack Kumamoto and Nagasaki.

Just in case, Zhang Xinghan ordered the 9th Division to reorganize the 6th Division and the tank force.

The 17th and 107th Divisions remained in the Kanmon Strait and Kitakyushu Island just in case.

This chaotic pursuit battle soon ended with the addition of the air force, and the main forces of the Japanese 6th and 18th Divisions were basically completely annihilated by evening.

Occasionally, some squad-level Japanese troops were lucky not to be wiped out, and they were also in the danger of being pursued by the Northeast Frontier Army, and it was only a matter of time before they were destroyed.

In Tianchuan City, after listening to Zhao Zhenfan's report, Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said: "At this point, the regular army of the Japanese army on Kyushu Island has been wiped out, and it will only be able to sweep the whole island when the third batch of landing troops arrives." ”

"Chief, now that we have more than 120,000 troops in our hands, isn't it enough to capture the entire island of Kyushu?" Wang Yizhe asked puzzled.

Zhang Xinghan said: "It is easy to capture the whole island, but if you want to really control the entire Kyushu Island, these 120,000 troops cannot do it at the moment, there are nearly 10 million Japanese on Kyushu Island, even if we eliminate their regular army, we can only occupy some important large and medium-sized cities along the highway and railway, and we still have no time to take care of the vast and remote areas far away from the highway and railway line."

In that case, we are likely to fall into a sea of Japanese civilians, after all, there are tens of millions of them, and we can't kill all the Japanese on the island, right? ”

"What the general seat said is that although the Japanese burned, killed, and looted all kinds of evil on our land, it was a barbaric act beyond human morality, and it was no different from beasts, and our Chinese army must not be the same as them." Zhao Zhenfan nodded.

"So, this is why I want to kill their main regular resistance force at any cost, as long as they are eliminated, no matter how many Japanese there are on Kyushu Island, they will not be able to make any big waves.

And once these more than 30,000 little devils with combat experience are withdrawn, the Japanese will be able to use them as the backbone to expand the resistance force dozens of times.

After killing their core resistance forces, mobilizing absolutely superior forces to land on the whole island, eliminating any organization or individual that dares to resist our Chinese heroes, and completely crushing the will of the Japanese on the island to resist, then they will honestly obey our jurisdiction like a flock of sheep in the future.

Brother Guoping is right, the Japanese are not as good as beasts, and we can't be like them, but if someone dares to provoke the prestige of our Chinese military, we don't mind giving them some punishment.

From now on, in all the areas occupied by our army, one person who participates in the resistance against our Chinese army will kill the whole family, and if more than 10 people in a village join the resistance organization, the whole village will be killed.

If we are willing to obey the jurisdiction of our Chinese army, everything will continue as before, and our army will not disturb the people, let alone kill innocent people indiscriminately, and those who violate the order will be severely punished. Zhang Xinghan said.

Wang Yizhe nodded approvingly: "Grace and power are equally important, and the general seat is wise." ”

"Of course, this is only a preliminary wartime jurisdictional measure, and we will discuss carefully how to govern Kyushu Island and solve various crises that may arise on the island after the war." Zhang Xinghan added. (To be continued......)
