Chapter 413: Capture Kitakyushu

However, due to the suddenness of the situation, the Japanese Army did not expect the defeat of the First Fleet of the Navy so quickly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

So much so that the Northeast Navy and its landing force suddenly arrived, so the Japanese on Kyushu Island were caught off guard at all.

In Kurume's division headquarters, the current commander of the 18th Division, Tanichi Nakamura, and the chief of staff, Yogo Momoga, were discussing the military situation with anxious expressions.

"Baihe-kun, how is the troop assembly?" Taniichi Nakamura asked.

"General, the 114th Wing of Fukuoka and the 56th Infantry Wing of Kurume are urgently assembled, and the 55th Wing stationed on Kyushu Island should have arrived on the coast of the Enga River. Pig. Pig. Island. Novel" Chief of Staff Yogo Hyaka's words fell.

A rush of footsteps sounded from outside, and a Japanese signal soldier ran in in a panic, and said without saluting: "Your Excellency General, it's not good, the 55th Infantry Wing encountered the armored assault force of the Shina Army on the way to the rescue, and unfortunately was defeated, and the main force of the wing was lost, and at present, Kitakyushu has been surrounded by the Shina people, the situation is extremely urgent, and the commander of the defenders, Ohno Nakasa, requests urgent reinforcements!" ”

Nakamura Guichi and Yuri Yungo's faces suddenly changed greatly, and they all gasped and said, "The speed of the people in China is so fast? ”

"Your Excellency General, the current situation is critical, I don't care if the troops are assembled, let's hurry up and set off quickly to help Kitakyushu Island, the other people have already gone ashore, and their troops must be quite large, and it is probably not something that one of our divisions can deal with.

He suggested that the general should immediately send a telegram to Kumamoto's 60th Regiment and the War Department for help. "Hyaka Yungo quickly cut through the mess.

"Yo Xi, that's it." Taniichi Nakamura nodded happily.

On the beach of the Enga River, Wang Tiehan, accompanied by a large group of staff adjutants and guards, got off the landing craft and stepped ashore.

Wang Tiehan looked around with an awe-inspiring expression, and said with some excitement: "Brothers, this is the boundary of Little Japan, which has been in modern times for hundreds of years. The Japanese invaders repeatedly violated the borders of China's territory.

Now it is finally our turn to take revenge, the Japanese have killed our compatriots, burned our houses, robbed our property, and we must now pay them back tenfold and hundredfold! ”

A staff officer who graduated from the Longxing Military Academy advised: "Deputy commander, your feelings are understandable, but these are not the most important things at the moment, our top priority should be to quickly take Kitakyushu, and then seize and block the Guanmen Strait."

As for revenge, as long as we succeed in capturing Kyushu Island. Are you afraid that you won't have a chance? ”

Wang Tiehan suddenly came to his senses, and immediately nodded: "That's right, Staff Officer Li, you reminded me right, I almost forgot the top priority given to us by the general seat."

Immediately order all regiments to quickly attack, and it is determined to take Kitakyushu and block the Kanmon Strait before the arrival of Japanese reinforcements. ”

"Yes." A group of subordinates stepped forward one after another, and two of them quickly led the order to leave. The order was delivered.

Before Wang Tiehan went ashore, the 60,000-strong army had basically landed, and all divisions and regiments were rapidly assembling.

The naval fleet also began to return home.

It didn't take long for the temporary headquarters to be set up. Under the guidance of a staff officer, Wang Tiehan and others came to the headquarters.

When the commander of the 117th Division and others saw Wang Tiehan, they all stood up and saluted.

Wang Tiehan waved his hand to signal that they didn't need to be polite, and then asked, "How is it?" What happened to the regiments? ”

"Returning to the commander-in-chief, they have all been assembled, and the tank regiment and the 729th battalion of the 106th Division have already attacked the castle of Kitakyushu. Attacks are currently being organized. A division commander reported.

"Okay, Kitakyushu Castle will be handed over to my 106th Division, your 107th Division and 117th Division will immediately bypass Kitakyushu, seize the ferry ports in the Guanmen Strait, destroy all the ships, kill all the Japanese who are close to the Guanmen Strait, and immediately block the Guanmen Strait." Wang Tiehan looked at the map and immediately decided.

"Yes!" Several division and regiment commanders stepped forward one after another, and immediately turned around and took the order.

At this time, a staff officer came over with a telegram in his hand and saluted Wang Tiehan: "Commander-in-chief, the Air Force has called, the group of planes that previously carried out air raids on the Guanmen Strait has been re-prepared and can take off at any time to help us." ”

"There are not many Japanese defenders in Kitakyushu, we don't need their direct support, so let's call them back and ask them to immediately carry out air raids and bombardment of the bridges, passes and other communication arteries leading to Kitakyushu, if they can directly attack the Japanese reinforcements, it would be better, in short, everything is to delay the reinforcements of the Japanese army, block the Kanmon Strait for us, and build fortifications on both sides." Wang Tiehan groaned slightly, and called out to the staff officer who was about to take the order to leave: "Also, send a telegram to the commander-in-chief and report our current situation." ”

"Yes!" The staff officer replied with a bang, and immediately turned and left.

……………………

Inside the city of Busan, the General Headquarters of the Northeast Frontier Army.

"General, Wang Tiehan's 60,000 troops have all landed, and now they are attacking and advancing towards the Guanmen Strait, and everything is going smoothly at present." Jiang Baili took the telegram from the signal soldier and immediately turned around to report to Zhang Xinghan with a smile.

Zhang Xinghan nodded when he heard the words and said: "Well, very good, call Wang Tiehan back, you must be fast, take advantage of the Japanese army's failure to react, quickly seize the Guanmen Strait, and then, give me at all costs, like a nail."

Whether they can win the battle of Kyushu Island this time depends on them. ”

"Okay, I'll go right away." Jiang Baili turned around and was about to leave.

Zhang Xinghan waved his hand to stop him and said, "Has the second echelon landing force been prepared?" ”

Jiang Baili stopped and turned around and said, "All preparations have been made, just wait for the naval fleet to return, and then we can set off immediately." ”

Zhang Xinghan said with a slight forehead of satisfaction: "Send a telegram to the naval fleet and ask them to return as quickly as possible, now time is the most important thing for us!" One minute less delay may have saved a lot of people. ”

"Yes, I'll go and inform them." Jiang Baili stood up and turned to leave.

………………

The island city of Kitakyushu is in full swing.

Hundreds of No. 4 tanks and more than 1,000 Chinese soldiers surrounded the small city of Kitakyushu on all sides and were fiercely attacking.

Because the main force of the wing went out of the city to reinforce the Enga River, there was only less than one brigade left in the city to garrison, and with the defeat of a group of remnants of the wing, the strength could reach the size of a brigade.

Although there are not many regular troops. However, tens of thousands of Japanese civilians in the city were frightened when they learned that the Chinese army had actually hit their doorstep, and the young and middle-aged people in the city took up all kinds of knives, guns, and sticks and spontaneously organized to join the ranks of the defenders.

Many of them were veterans who had served in the military, so if a soldier was killed, they could quickly take their guns and continue fighting.

Outside the city, hundreds of tank guns of No. 4 tanks kept firing, the vehicle-mounted machine guns on the tanks were also roaring, and the infantry guns, mortars, and rocket launchers carried by the 729th battalion were also in full swing.

The continuous explosions and the dense rain of machine guns and bullets suppressed the Japanese soldiers and civilians on the top of the city, and they could not raise their heads at all.

From time to time, unlucky devils are hit by stray bullets and fall into the city screaming.

It didn't take long. The city wall, which had been in disrepair for a long time, could not withstand the bombardment of intensive artillery fire and collapsed a large section.

Dozens of people from the devil army and civilians above suddenly fell to their deaths.

As soon as the city wall collapsed, hundreds of wolf-like soldiers of the Northeast Frontier Army immediately rushed in with guns and screams under the cover of more than a dozen tanks.

Under the cover of a dense rain of machine-gun bullets, the Japanese troops who wanted to block the broken gaps in the city wall fell one by one.

More than 300 soldiers from two companies of 729 took advantage of the situation to rush in, and the Garand rifles and MP38 submachine guns in their hands formed a rapid assault fire, and the devil soldiers and civilians who rushed to resist fell like mustard.

"Brothers, rush. Conquer this city, and the chickens and dogs will not be left! In the frenzied shouting of killing, I don't know which low-level officer from the ruffian background roared feverishly.

Immediately triggered the beastliness and ferocity of these tiger and wolf soldiers.

In the case of absolute superiority in forces and firepower, they did not wait for the main force of the division to arrive. They broke through the Japanese defenses.

Since the Japanese civilians in the city also joined the ranks of the resisters, after entering the city, the red-eyed soldiers of the Northeast Frontier Army launched an indiscriminate fire on an unprecedented scale.

More than 30,000 people in the city, regardless of their boyfriends and children, were all slaughtered. Soon the small city of Kyushu turned into a living hell.

When Wang Tiehan arrived with the main force of his division, he saw that the streets were full of Japanese corpses. The burned houses are still billowing with smoke, and there is no shortage of naked Japanese women's corpses in some remote corners, a bleak scene of the end times.

Wang Tiehan watched all this expressionlessly, turned to the adjutants behind him and said, "Let the battalion commander of the 729 battalion come to see me immediately!" ”

"Yes!" An adjutant stepped forward, but his heart was worried for the commander of the 729th battalion.

Not long after, the commander of the 729 battalion, with a black face and undried blood stains on his uniform, came to Wang Tiehan.

Wang Tiehan looked at his subordinate and asked in a serious tone, "Who asked you to slaughter the city?" ”

The commander of the 729 battalion was not afraid, raised his head and said: "Returning to the master's seat, it is not that the lowly duty intends to slaughter the city, but that the Japanese stubbornly resisted the whole city and killed our soldiers. ”

Wang Tiehan's heart blossomed, and he kicked the buttocks of the commander of the 729 battalion and scolded with a smile: "You kid talks like a fart, will the child and the old man also resist?" Also, why are the women in the city all fucking naked, do they still need to strip naked when they resist? ”

"Well, this ......" The commander of the 729 battalion lowered his head a little embarrassed.

"You kid!" Wang Tiehan patted him on the shoulder again and said in a low voice: "Well done, little Japan has done all kinds of evil in burning, killing and looting on our Chinese land, it's time for them to pay for their blood debts, but you remember to Lao Tzu that if the commander-in-chief returns to China to investigate it, you have to do what you just said, and in addition, immediately bring someone to clean up the city to prevent leakage of news!" ”

"Yes!" The commander of the 729 battalion was overjoyed when he heard this and stepped forward to respond.
