Chapter 655: The Final Battle (1)

Guangxi in China. This was the last complete province occupied by the Japanese in China. Although the Japanese army still has troops stationed in Guangdong, Fujian, and Jiangxi provinces. But only Guangxi Province is complete. In several other provinces, parts of the squadron were occupied.

In order to keep one of the few strategic points in China. The Japanese army was hollowing out their minds and trying their best to prevent the squadron from moving south. But now the various battlefields are going downhill . The squadron's perception of the "day" himself has also undergone a fundamental change. Especially with the strong support of the United States and the Soviet Union. The military industry in the north of China has basically taken shape. The main individual weapon is already self-sufficient. Although the supply of the United States and the Soviet Union is still needed in terms of oil and other aspects. However, ~~.shushu.-Update the first release~~ Aerial bombs and shells for tank combat vehicles can now be produced on their own.

has its own military industry . The fighting power of the Chinese people is strong. With millet plus rifles. China can hold out for 6 years. With aircraft artillery . It only takes a year for the people of China to drive the little devils out of China. The speed of the army's march in the Jiangnan area far exceeded the Japanese estimates.On March 2, the squadron rushed to southern Gansu. At the same time, several large armies approached the Liangguang area.

I don't plan to return at this time. If you retreat, you will be pushed into the sea. The Japanese army on the Indochina Peninsula has endured the siege of hundreds of thousands of Allied troops, including the Chinese Expeditionary Force. Shouichi Terauchi himself is under a lot of pressure. It's no longer possible to support Yan Junliu. So for Yan Junliu. The 1.06 million troops sent by China really have nowhere to go except to stick to Liangguang.

March 26. An infantry division under Han Yunhua occupied Wenzhou. After clearing the obstacles. More than 100,000 troops of the two field armies entered Fujian from Wenzhou. The 58th Division of the Japanese Army and the 32nd Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade were stationed in Fujian. There are also quite a few people. There are more than 250,000 people. In addition, there are 4 infantry divisions of hardcore puppet troops.

Commanding the Fujian campaign was Yang Chengwu. During this period of time, Yang Chengwu was taken by Han Yunhua. After the troops moved south. Han Yunhua delegated the command of the front line to the commanders of the various group armies. He led the guards to clean up the city of Nanjing. When the Japanese army left, they set a fire in the city of Nanjing. This thousand-year-old city is full of scorched black traces. Regardless of whether Han Yunhua wants to admit it or not. After all, this is still the capital of China at this time. Returning Nanjing is the dream wish of every Chinese at this time. So Han Yunhua must clean up Nanjing. Wait for the command from the Central.

The Battle of Fujian was actually very unconfident. Fujian is not like other places. It's mountainous here. The terrain is rugged. It was very disadvantageous for the Japanese army, who were accustomed to fighting in the plain position. But the size of the squadron has grown up in the ravines. So for mountain warfare is born to be an expert. Therefore, the Japanese army forced the local people to build a large number of fortifications. These fortifications were sheltered by the mountains. Some have even hollowed out a hill.

28th. The Battle of Fujian began. More than 100,000 people in the squadron entered Fujian from northeast Fujian under the command of Yang Chengwu. and advance to the hinterland of Fujian. The first line of Songxi, Zhenghe, and Zhouning, Yang Chengwu's headquarters were bravely blocked by the Japanese army. The Japanese army took advantage of the terrain in this area to block the southward movement of the ** team. At the same time, he did not hesitate to dig up most of the roads to the south. Blow up almost all the bridges. gave the squadron a desperate plan.

After two days of storming. The troops did not make the slightest progress. The Japanese army is the king of the eight to eat the scales. Iron-hearted to stick to Fujian. So in two days the Japanese suffered heavy losses. But it didn't cause a lot of casualties to Yang Chengwu. Two divisions of the 26th Field Army suffered heavy casualties. The second division lost more than 9,000 men. It can be regarded as more than half of the casualties, and the vitality is greatly damaged.

In desperation, Yang Chengwu had no choice but to ask Han Yunhua for help. It is hoped that the command will send a team of paratroopers to Fuzhou in the air. Otherwise, in the current situation. Even if a large army can capture Fujian. The casualties were definitely beyond everyone's expectations.

After receiving Yang Chengwu's telegram, Han Yunhua carefully analyzed. But he did not agree to Yang Chengwu's request. Instead, he ordered Yang Chengwu's troops to continue to maintain military pressure on the Japanese army in the northeast of Fujian. But do not storm the positions heavily defended by the Japanese army. It only needs to besiege and not attack.

Fujian is a must to be taken. It's just that Han Yunhua doesn't want the large army to increase casualties. It's not that it doesn't attack. Yang Chengwu's suggestion is good. But the paratroopers from Fujian are somewhat unrealistic . Because the Fujian region is mountainous. And the troops have no experience in fighting in the Fujian region. I can't find a suitable place for a moment when I am airborne. Rashly airborne is not only likely to be dumplings made by little devils. More importantly, there is a risk of large-scale non-combat attrition due to the choice of airborne landing sites.

More importantly. Han Yunhua is now ready to attack Liangguang. Fujian though is also extremely important. But compared to the two wide. Fujian just seems insignificant. The two Cantons are a whole. Just take two wide. Then Fujian becomes an isolated region. There will be no other way out for the day itself except to be destroyed. Therefore, Han Yunhua thinks that it is not right, it is necessary to take down Liangguang first. And the key to winning the two Guangzhous lies in Guangzhou.

April 1, 1944. Han Yunhua ordered Su Yu to lead 250,000 troops to advance south of Gannan all the way. The striker pointed directly at Guangdong. Garrisoned in Guangdong were the remnants of the Japanese 21st and 13th armies. The 13th Army was preceded by Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai. The commander is Lieutenant General Fujita Susumu of the Japanese Army.

When the ** squadron attacked Shanghai. Since the Shanghai area is not conducive to defense. Therefore, the base camp and the command of the [Chinese] Dispatch Army urgently ordered the 13th Army to withdraw to Guangdong for rest. However, because the 13th Army was under special care of the Chinese Air Force along the way. So after arriving in Guangzhou, there were only 70,000 men left in the 13th Army. And a large number of heavy weapons were also lost.

But the 13th Army, after all, was a unit withdrawn from Shanghai. Combat effectiveness is still no problem. After being replenished with supplies and baggage. The 13th Army quickly regained its combat effectiveness.

Due to the needs of the war. The Dispatch Army Command of China transferred part of the troops of the 21st Army to the west to garrison Guangxi. Therefore, the defenders of Guangdong were dominated by the 13th Army. Even the commander was replaced by Susumu Fujita.

Fujita Susumu was a relatively traditional soldier of the Japanese army, born on December 21, 1884 in Ishikawa Prefecture. At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, he served as the commander of the Third Division. Later, he served as commander of the 13th Army in Shanghai. On October 24, 1904, he graduated from the 16th class of the Army Non-commissioned Officer School. On December 7, 1932, he was promoted to major general and commander of the 32nd Brigade of the Army.

On April 21, 1934, Fujita Shin became the first mechanized unit of Japan. The first commander of the 1st Brigade of the Kwantung Army, and the commander of the Army Infantry School on March 7, 1936. He was later promoted to lieutenant general and succeeded Masaki Ito as commander of the 3rd Division on August 2, 1937. On the 23rd of the same month, as the first batch of reinforcements, he went to the Shanghai battlefield with Matsui Ishine. Participate in the Battle of Songhu. Battle of Nanjing. Battle of Xuzhou. Participated in the Battle of Wuhan within the formation of the Second Army. Defeat Hu Zongnan's troops in Xinyang. In 39 years, he participated in the Battle of Suijube. Fight with Townenburg. On October 26, 1939, he succeeded Nishio Toshigaku as commander of the 13th Army.

After accepting the position of commander of the garrison of Guangdong, Fujita did not dare to slack off. The squadron moved too quickly. And the tactics are used extremely well. Especially that long-distance big detour tactic. Cooperate with paratroopers for large-scale raids. This makes it difficult for the Emperor ** team to defend.
