Chapter 425: There is still a chance

In a dense forest about 2.5 kilometers south of Kitakyushu Island, the former enemy headquarters of the Japanese 18th and 6th Divisions were located. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In the command headquarters, the commander of the 18th Division, Tanichi Nakamura, and the commander of the 6th Division, Igo Masaho, were all present.

However, the battle of the Kanmon Strait was of great importance, and the fate of millions of Yamato people on the entire island of Kyushu and the future of the Japanese Empire was at stake, so in order to urge their subordinates to go all out, the two men combined their respective division headquarters into one and set them up on the front line to facilitate the command of the battle.

In the headquarters, Nakamura Guichi and Igo Masaho and others are nervously discussing the next battle plan around the map, and the Northeast Frontier Army left behind by the North Kyushu Island Pig-Pig Island-Novel is Wang Tiehan's integrated 6th Division, which is one of the first ten elite integrated divisions formed, and its combat effectiveness is among the best in the Northeast Frontier Army's Bai Wan Army.

Coupled with the help of the Air Force, the attacks of the 18th Division and the 6th Division failed repeatedly.

When he was discussing with his subordinates, suddenly a Japanese signal soldier broke in with a panicked look, and the communication soldier who stumbled under his feet almost fell to the ground.

Before he could salute, he said with a crying voice: "Your Excellency the division commander, no, I just received the latest telegram from the direction of Honshu Island, the decisive battle in the sea and air in the Tsushima Strait, our army returned with a heavy defeat, and tens of thousands of naval and air force officers and soldiers were killed in battle!" The combined fleet with aviation forces has suffered heavy losses, the situation has deteriorated! ”

"What?" Nakamura Taniichi and Igo Masago were both taken aback, and the chief of staff of the 18th Division, Yogo Momoga, came over and asked eagerly, "What are you talking about?" What the hell is going on? How could the combined fleet be defeated? ”

The communications soldier was a little timid, and said hesitantly: "I don't know if I am humble, but this is what the telegram says." ”

Baihe Yungo snatched the telegram from his hand, glanced at it hurriedly, and was immediately furious: "Yaga Yalu." This, this can't be! That's impossible! ”

At this moment, another devil communication soldier hurriedly ran in, saluted Nakamura Tanichi and the others, and said, "Generals, General Seishiro Itagaki is calling!" ”

"Oh? What did Itagaki-kun say? "Seishiro Itagaki is the commander-in-chief of the Battle of the Kanmon Strait on Kyushu Island, and the 18th Division and the 6th Division are also under his control, Nakamura Tanichi hurriedly asked.

General Seishiro Itagaki sent a telegram saying that the naval and air forces had suffered a crushing defeat, and that the reinforcement attack on Honshu Island had also failed miserably, and that there was no longer any need to continue the Battle of the Kanmon Strait. In order to prevent your troops from being heavily surrounded by the Chinese army.

I hereby order your troops to quickly evacuate the battlefield of Kitakyushu Island, and quickly organize troops and personnel, transfer factories and equipment in Nagasaki and other places, and prepare for a long war of resistance! The Devil Messenger said quickly.

Nakamura Taniichi and Igo Masaho were shocked after hearing this, but Major General Kobayashi, the chief of staff of the 6th Division, reacted quickly and took the lead in speaking: "Your Excellency the two generals, the situation is critical, please don't delay here any longer, we should immediately carry out the order of General Seishiro Itagaki." This is undoubtedly the wisest decision of the moment! ”

After Nakamura Taniichi and Igo Masaac glanced at each other, he immediately instructed the two communication soldiers: "Order, all wings immediately stop attacking and retreat immediately." The 66th Wing was broken off from the 18th Cavalry Wing directly under it! ”

On the road leading from the Kanmon Strait to Kitakyushu Island, about a battalion of Tohoku border guards was speeding through in cars and motorcycles.

In the passenger seat of one of the cars was Wang Tiehan, the commander of the battle.

The main force of the submarine force of the Jiaolong Task Force had arrived, and the defense line on the south shore of the Guanmen Strait was already safe, and Wang Tiehan was not worried about Kitakyushu Island, which was being besieged by the Japanese army. He returned with a guard battalion.

As the team was marching, a communications soldier stopped the car, saluted Wang Tiehan from outside the car, and said, "Commander." The deputy division commander called, and all the devils who were attacking Kitakyushu Island suddenly withdrew, and the deputy division commander asked whether to pursue it? ”

"Withdrawn?" An accompanying staff adjutant who acted as the driver groaned and analyzed: "Division, these devils must have learned the news of their naval defeat and the failure of the reinforcement attack before they suddenly withdrew. ”

Wang Tiehan nodded, and instructed the signal corps outside the car: "Send a telegram to the deputy division commander, the enemy situation is unknown, it is not suitable to pursue for the time being, our task is to ensure the smooth landing of the second echelon landing force and our division."

As for the 18th and 6th Divisions of the Japanese Army, Xing Zhanqing's tank troops should be almost killed in their lair, enough for them to drink a pot! ”

"Yes." The signal soldier quickly took the order and left.

……………………

In the waters off the Yuanhe River, the main force of the Northeast Navy under the command of Zhang Xinghan finally entered this sea area.

Standing on the deck of the battleship Huo Quai, I looked into the distance, and saw that the coast of the Enga River was already faintly visible.

"Headquarters, in ten minutes at most, we can land." Guo Zhong stood beside Zhang Xinghan and pointed ahead.

Zhang Xinghan held the telescope and looked at it silently, looking at the looming coast, Zhang Xinghan's mood was very excited.

Although he is not the first Chinese soldier to land on Japanese soil, he is still a 21st century soul for him personally.

It is of great significance to be able to set foot on the four islands of Dongying as a soldier, no, as a conqueror and a victor.

It can be said that it washed away the sense of humiliation in the hearts of all Chinese soldiers since the end of the Qing Dynasty in one fell swoop, and Zhang Xinghan was naturally one of them.

Putting down the binoculars, Zhang Xinghan said lightly: "Order the troops to prepare for landing." ”

"Yes." A herald behind Guo Zhong quickly conveyed the order.

One after another, the landing ships began to sail to the shore, and on the decks of the ships, tens of thousands of officers and men of the Northeast Frontier Army had all gathered and were ready to go ashore.

About 10 minutes later, as the first landing ship landed, groups of officers and men from the Northeast jumped down from the ship with steel guns in their arms, and simply advanced forward with waist-high seawater.

As they got closer and closer to the shore, the speed of the officers and men became faster and faster, and when they looked from the shore, they saw that the water on the shore was densely packed with officers and soldiers from the Northeast with steel helmets on their heads, and they were moving towards the shore like an ant colony.

Behind the crowd of infantry, tanks and armored vehicles were also lowered by the landing ships and roared towards the shore.

About two hours later, the landing troops of the two divisions all went ashore, and Zhang Xinghan, Guo Zhong, Wang Yizhe, Zhao Zhenfan, and others also left the battleship Huo Qubing and officially set foot on Kyushu Island.

Standing on a high slope not far from the shore, Zhang Xinghan looked down at his own troops who were still landing, and said proudly: "We may not leave our names in the annals of history, but history will remember this moment and today." ”

Behind him, Wang Yizhe, Zhao Zhenfan and others were also enthusiastic and excited, as a soldier, there was no more joyful and happier than personally leading the army to land on the four islands of Dongying.

"Xinghan, now that there is not much suspense in the battle of Kyushu Island, do we need to announce our current actions and results to the Chinese people? Let the 40,000 people of the Chinese nation cheer and celebrate, in any case, this is also a great moment for our Chinese nation to celebrate! Wang Yizhe said to Zhang Xinghan.

Zhang Xinghan lit a cigarette, pondered for a moment, and nodded: "Okay, in the name of me, the chief of staff, and the commander-in-chief of the various group armies of our Northeast Frontier Army, I will send a telegram to the Nationalist Government and the powerful warlords in various localities, our Northeast Frontier Army has completely annihilated the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy and its sea-based land-based aviation units, and is about to capture the entire Kyushu Island in the near future. ”

"Headquarters, Commander Wang, the commander-in-chief of the vanguard, is calling." A communications soldier hurried over and saluted.

"How's it going?" Zhang Xinghan asked.

"Commander Wang sent a telegram to report that the Battle of the Guanmen Strait had ended victoriously, the defense line of our army on the south bank was as stable as Mount Tai, and the Japanese 18th and 6th Divisions besieging Kitakyushu Island had also withdrawn not long ago." The Signal Soldier replied.

Zhang Xinghan nodded slightly, the victory of the Battle of the Guanmen Strait was expected, with the assistance of the air force and submarine forces, the Japanese had millions of reinforcements, and it would be difficult to cross the strait and land on Kyushu Island without the navy and air force.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Xinghan asked, "Did the Japanese evacuate the 18th Division and the 6th Division on their own initiative?" ”

The communication soldier nodded, Zhang Xinghan pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Did Wang Tiehan pursue?" ”

The signal soldier shook his head and said, "No, Commander Wang did not send troops to pursue just in case. ”

"It's a pity that the 18th Division and the 6th Division are the only regular resistance forces of the Japanese army on Kyushu Island, and if they can be surrounded and annihilated near Kitakyushu Island, then the next attack on the entire Kyushu Island will encounter much less resistance." Zhang Xinghan sighed in disappointment, it seems that Wang Tiehan is more cautious and less courageous.

Wang Yizhe persuaded in a harmonious voice: "The general seat does not need to be too disappointed, although the iron man's move is a little too cautious, but this is also the safest way for the overall strategic situation, in case the pursuit of the devil's ambush, it will be worth the loss, because we have won the battle on Kyushu Island, and we can't take any more risks, after all, the task we gave him at the beginning was to hold the North Kyushu Island and the Guanmen Strait, and wait for the arrival of the follow-up landing force." ”

Zhang Xinghan nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly said again, "By the way, where is Xing Zhanqing's tank unit now?" ”

"Oh, Commander Wang's telegram reported that Xing Zhanqing had led a tank unit to attack Kurume and wait for the rear of the Japanese army." The communications soldier replied.

"Kurume?" Zhang Xinghan's eyes lit up, and he said to Guo Zhong: "It seems that there is still a chance, Zhongzi, bring the battle map, quickly!" ”
