At this time, the original fortifications of the Japanese army on the beach had basically been seized by the landing force of the Nationalist army, which in turn was defending and relying on the Japanese reinforcements who came forward to block the attack. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In order to regain their positions and block the momentum of the Chinese army's continued attack, the Japanese army continued to attack, and the casualties were already very large.

The sudden appearance of these 50 No. 4 tanks immediately caused incalculable battle losses to the Japanese army.

Under the combined fire of the dense rain of vehicle-mounted machine gun bullets and the powerful explosive shells, the Japanese troops who were caught off guard fell in pieces like wheat harvesting.

The main forces of the Nationalist infantry in the Japanese position took advantage of the situation to jump out one after another and launched a fierce charge against the Japanese army.

German submachine guns fired deadly tongues of fire, and countless dense bullets rained down on the heads of the Japanese soldiers.

Caught in this three-sided attack, the Japanese army could not take care of each other, and was quickly defeated.

The national army coordinated with each other and pursued the situation, and the Japanese soldiers killed were bloodied and the corpses were piled up like mountains.

After more than three hours of bloody fighting, they finally took the landing zone of Shimonoseki Wharf in the Guanmen Strait and seized a landing site 20 kilometers long and 5 kilometers wide.

The first batch of more than 50,000 landing troops advanced the offensive line of fire to the city of Shimonoseki, where the Japanese army set up a second-line defensive position, and the two sides launched a bloody battle.

At the same time, hundreds of thousands of follow-up troops of the National Army gathered near the island of Kitakyushu began a large number of sea-crossing and landing operations.

…………

In Fukuoka County, the headquarters of the Chinese Expeditionary Force's attack on Japan.

There will be a star-studded gathering here, Wang Yizhe, Xing Zhanqing, Bai Chongxi, Jiang Baili and other famous generals of the national government gathered together.

The headquarters was located in a conference room in the former Japanese prefectural government office building in Fukuoka Prefecture.

In addition to a huge combat map hanging on the wall, Wang Yizhe also ordered his staff officers to make a combat sand table.

At this moment, Zhang Xinghan and the above-mentioned senior generals were discussing the battle situation around the sand table.

The small blue and red flag representing the country and the white plaster flag representing the Japanese army on the sand table are clearly distinguished.

"Commission, the forward troops have advanced to the outskirts of Shimonoseki City, and the follow-up troops are hurrying to land." While everyone was discussing, a communications adjutant walked in and saluted Zhang Xinghan.

After Zhang Xinghan listened. He nodded slightly, and asked Jiang Baili, "Baili, where is the Third Fleet now?" ”

Jiang Baili hurriedly replied: "Commission, the Third Fleet set out from the Taiwan Strait, passed through the Ryukyu Islands, and after receiving 100,000 elite troops stationed in Japan at the port of Miyazaki on Kyushu Island, it went north along the waters of Japan's eastern front.

According to the report they received half an hour ago, they should have passed Shikoku Island by now, and they are expected to reach the waters near Tokyo Bay tomorrow morning. ”

Zhang Xinghan asked again: "How is the war progressing in the direction of Shikoku Island?" ”

Wang Yizhe, who was in charge of directly commanding the landing campaign on Shikoku Island by remote control, hurriedly replied: "The first batch of landing troops has captured Cape Sayama and is attacking and advancing towards the hinterland of Cape Sayama Peninsula. In addition, the Air Force conducted air strikes in the Hachimanhama and Uwajima areas.

Now, with the successful landing of the first landing force, the naval fleet responsible for transporting and covering them has been able to return to the Kunisaki Peninsula to receive the second landing force from Uai Island and Hachimanhama area.

Strive to capture the southwestern part of Shikoku Island in one fell swoop, and then march towards the hinterland of Shikoku Island and capture the entire island. ”

"Well, very well, after the capture of Shikoku Island, the troops can be taken by Tokushima. Takamatsu, Matsuyama and other places crossed the sea to attack Hiroshima, Fukuyama, Kurao, Himeji. and even Osaka and other coastal areas of Honshu.

Echoing our frontal attack on the island of Honshu, we accelerated the course of the campaign. Zhang Xinghan nodded with satisfaction.

"According to the information available to the Secrecy Service, the Americans' Pacific Fleet has arrived in the waters north of Japan. I am worried that in the event of an attack on Tokyo, the Americans will not respond to the request of the Japanese. Directly get involved without declaring the war?

In that case, our Third Fleet would be in danger. Bai Chongxi looked at the sand table with some concern.

Zhang Xinghan said indifferently: "Jiansheng, please rest assured, I have ordered the Navy's submarine forces to assemble in the area of Tokyo Bay and the waters north of Japan.

The whereabouts of the U.S. Pacific Fleet are now basically under the control of our military, and if they make any moves, our wolves under the sea will immediately attack and wipe them out cleanly. ”

After two years of development, with Zhang Xinghan's strong support, the underwater Jiaolong force, which originally consisted of only 80 XXI submarines, has now grown to more than 250.

Such a powerful underwater force is enough to blockade the entire Japanese island and the surrounding surrounding waters.

The increasingly powerful submarine force is also Zhang Xinghan's confidence in daring to take risks and storm Tokyo Bay.

If the Americans dared to enter the war without declaring war, Zhang Xinghan would not hesitate to order the Chinese Navy's underwater submarine forces to launch a deadly attack on its Pacific Fleet.

Even if they can't be wiped out, they can be inflicted heavy losses and completely incapacitated.

It will take at least two months for the Americans' war machine to be up and running, and to replenish the warships and personnel again.

For such a long time, Zhang Xinghan is absolutely confident that he will take the city of Tokyo and the most important cities in Japan on the Honshu islands such as Osaka and Hiroshima.

If Emperor Hirohito of Japan had been captured in the war, it might have been possible to end the battle early.

It should be mentioned that in order to capture Emperor Hirohito alive as much as possible, Zhang Xinghan specially urgently assembled the veterans of the former Airborne Forces and the new cadets they had trained, who had been temporarily assigned to military academies in various places.

Today, the scale has reached two regiments, and the airborne troops of more than 5,000 people are all on standby at the Fukuoka military airfield on the island of Kyushu.

When they need it most, they will carry out a surprise airborne landing on Tokyo to achieve the best results.

The Chinese navy, army, and air force gathered on Kyushu Island were close to two million troops, while Zhang Xinghan used less than half a million for the first attack.

Except that the naval fleet is temporarily incapable of landing millions of troops at one time.

There are also reasons why Zhang Xinghan left heavy troops to deter the US military.

Of course, as a traverser, Zhang Xinghan knew that attacking the Japanese mainland, especially the largest and most populous Honshu Island, was by no means a small-scale ordinary landing operation.

Rather, it could be a long-lasting, attrition-ready offensive campaign of unprecedented proportions.

As the front advances, the greater the pressure, the more troops must be used for the offensive.

If he launched an attack from the front of Kyushu Island and continued to attack city by city, Zhang Xinghan understood that judging from the Japanese character who was brainwashed by bushido, even if his army of more than 1.5 million was finally thrown on the island.

It is not necessarily possible to win this war as soon as possible.

Therefore, the key is whether the battle plan of storming Tokyo City is successful or not.

The city of Tokyo is not only the capital of Japan, but also the residence of the emperors of Japan, and is of great significance to all Japanese people.

Once the city of Tokyo was breached, even if Emperor Hirohito was not captured, the blow to the Japanese would be absolutely unprecedented.

As long as the belief that the Japanese resisted with all the jade crushing was crushed, it would be much easier to win the war.

"It turns out that you have already arranged the seat, so I will rest assured." Bai Chongxi's eyes were surprised, and he immediately said respectfully.

"You have all worked hard here for most of the day, and now that the troops are advancing smoothly, everyone must be tired and hungry, just let me stay here, you all go and rest." Wang Yizhe said.

Everyone looked at Zhang Xinghan, and no one expressed their opinions first.

Zhang Xinghan nodded in agreement and said: "Commander Wang is right, everyone has worked hard, let's go eat and rest, the war is important, but the body is the capital of the revolution, let's go." ”

"Yes!" The crowd saluted and soon dispersed.

After everyone left, only Wang Yizhe, Jiang Baili and Guo Zhong, who were inseparable from Zhang Xinghan, were left in the command.

After seeing everyone leave, Zhang Xinghan said to Wang Yizhe: "Father-in-law, you can also go and rest, just have me here." ”

Wang Yizhe's heart warmed, and he hurriedly shook his head and said: "I'm not tired, but you and Brother Baili, who have traveled a long distance and are tired of traveling and driving, you go to have a meal and have a good rest, I'll just stay here." ”

Jiang Baili said with a smile: "Bench, you and Brother Wang don't excuse each other, I'm not tired, I'll just keep an eye here, you all go to eat first." ”

"Okay, don't be polite, the war is urgent, let's not leave soon." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand, turned his head to Guo Zhong and said, "Zhongzi, you go and inform the next room and bring us the food, let's eat here, and discuss the war situation while eating." ”

"Yes." Guo Zhong hurriedly stepped forward and responded, and immediately turned around and left.

"This surprise attack on Tokyo was personally led by Wang Tiehan, presumably there is no big problem, after all, he has commanded the landing battle on Kyushu Island today, and he is the most experienced general of our army in cross-sea operations and landing operations at present." Jiang Baili said.

Wang Yizhe also nodded approvingly and said: "That's right, since the landing battle on Kyushu Island, Tie Han has been training our troops stationed in Japan for a long time, and has carefully studied the cross-sea landing operation.

Coupled with the full support and cooperation of submarines and the Air Force, it should not be a big problem.

The Japanese are no longer the same as before, and since the defeat of their naval fleet in the Battle of the Tsushima Strait, the sporadic surviving ships have basically been wiped out by our air force and submarine forces in the past two years.

Therefore, they can't even get a decent warship, and if they want to resist our combined three-dimensional firepower attack by land, sea and air, they can only fill it with human lives. ”

"We can't be too optimistic, if the first landing force of 100,000 people can't capture the city of Tokyo in the shortest possible time, then once the Japanese reinforcements from Osaka and other places arrive.

The war is likely to be in a stalemate, which is very bad for us.

Therefore, the key is to see if Wang Tiehan can end the battle before the arrival of Japanese reinforcements from other regions. Zhang Xinghan said.
