However, it turns out that the more people there are, the more chaotic they are, and the slower the boarding and evacuation.

Because Qingdao was no longer defensible, Yoshio Shinozuka and others naturally would not stay and wait for death, but had already quietly taken a small boat and ship to evacuate first.

A few high-ranking officers in the city were all in charge of the posthumous back, so although the docks were crowded, no one could command the retreat in a unified manner.

And the army behind the front line, because they had already learned the news of the evacuation of Qingdao tonight, had no intention of fighting, and they all wanted to leave this ghost place and leave the [***] team that made them uneasy at night.

When the 48th Army and other units stormed for more than an hour, the defense line of the Yue Army was already crumbling, especially the armored brigade of the Tiger Army, whose powerful assault firepower was simply not capable of manpower.

Without the support of their own air firepower, the defending army could not help Zhang Xudong's armored troops at all, and with the armored assault force opening the way, the infantry attack appeared to be extremely smooth.

When the armored forces tore apart the defense line of the Yue army, countless infantry swarmed up from after the breakthrough, taking the opportunity to expand the results of the battle on both flanks.

In the dark night, the army trampled on each other, scrambling to flee for their lives, and the tank armored troops led by Zhang Xudong took advantage of the situation to assault and directly rushed into the downtown of Qingdao, and chased the army all the way along the street in the direction of Qingdao wharf.

At the same time, the 11th Group Army outside the city began to attack on all fronts, and more than 100,000 soldiers roared and rushed through the defense line on the outskirts of the Yue Army, poured into the city of Qingdao, and began to jointly pursue and kill the fleeing Yue Army with the 48th and 31st Army units.

When Zhang Xudong led the armored assault troops to chase down the Qingdao wharf, which was already crowded with people and the water was impassable, the warships that were originally responsible for receiving the soldiers and civilians on the shore were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated, completely ignoring the cries and pleadings of tens of thousands of their own soldiers and civilians on the shore.

Zhang Xudong did not have the slightest relent, and immediately issued an order to attack the chariots, and an extremely tragic bloody massacre was staged at the Qingdao dock.

In the early morning of the next day, the entire Qingdao wharf was full of corpses, and the blood flowed into a river, and countless blood and water converged into a river and flowed into the sea.

At this point, the entire Jiaozhou Peninsula was completely recovered, and the Battle of Qingdao, which lasted nearly 20 days, ended with the complete victory of the 11th Army.

In this battle, the few remaining divisions of the North China Front Army were all wiped out, including the Fifth Division and the elite 10th Division, which were known as the Gang Army of the Yue Army.

………………………………………… Beiping, the headquarters of the North China Army Front.

The atmosphere in the headquarters was particularly depressing, and Chief of Staff Yamashita Fengwen held a telegram and read with a sad face: "In this battle, the 5th and 10th Divisions and the 14th Division, the main forces of our North China Front, except for a few people who escaped by chance on naval ships, the rest were all broken. ”

Sugiyama seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, and sat in the chair without saying a word. Yamashita wanted to persuade him, but he couldn't say it.

The defeat of the Battle of Qingdao also means that the Imperial Army of the Great Empire will completely lose the strength to consolidate North China, and in the end it may not even be able to secure the Pingjin region, and the final result may be to withdraw from Guannai and withdraw to Manchuria!

Thinking of this, Yamashita Fengfumi's heart was also miserable, and besides, the disaster is not a single line, but the blessing is not double, Hiroshima, the homeland of the empire, was also captured by the Shina Army three days ago, Hiroshima's military port, factories and other infrastructure were all destroyed, and Tokyo was also attacked, which was tantamount to adding insult to injury to the Chinese battlefield where the situation had taken a turn for the worse.

……………………………… The army was miserable, but the people of China were extremely excited and dancing, because not only the battle of Qingdao was won, but General Xue Yue's ninth theater and Gu Zhutong's third theater also achieved brilliant victories, recovering Wuhan and Nanjing respectively.

At the same time, Qiao Anbang, who was far away from the mainland, also led his airborne special combat team out of Hiroshima, causing the combined fleet of the Japanese army and navy and the marines who had arrived in a hurry to be swept away.

After leaving Hiroshima, Jo Anbang led his troops straight to Osaka, a famous industrial city at this time.

In a forest on the outskirts of Osaka, Qiao Anbang was solemnly announcing the victory of the Battle of Qingdao to the special combat troops: "Brothers, due to our containment, our army has achieved a brilliant victory in the frontal battlefield. In this process, the brothers have contributed a lot! When I return home in triumph, I will give you the reward you deserve, but at the moment, our task is far from complete! ”

As he spoke, Qiao Anbang pointed to the direction of Osaka behind him and said: "The city behind me is called Osaka, which is an industrial city second only to Tokyo, and 30% of the army's weapons, ammunition, and aircraft parts are produced from Osaka's arsenals and military factories, so we must completely destroy this city, especially their factories, and we must give the most serious damage!" ”

"Yes! Rest assured, we promise to complete the task! Having tasted the sweetness of the Battle of Hiroshima, the soldiers responded in unison.

"However, before leaving, I want to tell you that Osaka is different from Hiroshima, and because of the reason why we attacked Hiroshima before, the army must have strengthened its garrison, so this attack must wait until the evening, attack at night, and this time, we will not aim to capture Osaka, as long as we reach our attack target, we can retreat, and we must not fall in love with war, otherwise we will be subject to military law!" Qiao Anbang commanded in a deep voice.

"Sokuza, is there a lot of troops that the army has assembled in Osaka?" Gao Chu asked with doubts.

"Of course, there are at least about 10,000 people in Osaka's army, and the third division of the guards is less than thirty kilometers away from here. Make no mistake! Qiao Anbang explained without forgetting to instruct.
