Chapter 1045: Recovering Jinan (II)
In this way, none of the Japanese puppet army in Jinan broke through until the airport outside the city was captured by an elite regiment led by Ma Biao, the commander of the 2nd Division, and the Japanese puppet army in Jinan completely lost the opportunity to break through and retreat.
After capturing the airport, Wu Ming, Ma Biao and others decided to immediately mobilize all their forces and launch a final onslaught on Jinan, completely eliminate the remnants of the Japanese puppet army trapped in the city, and recover the largest city in Shandong, so that they could move south as soon as possible and march into the Jiaodong Peninsula and East China.
The specific battle plan is as follows: the 3rd Division is responsible for the attack mission of the north gate and the west gate of Jinan, the 2nd Division is responsible for the east gate and the south gate, and the tank armored brigade, heavy artillery brigade and the regular army of the 10,000th Route Army are responsible for coordinated cover and provide various fire support.
The air defense brigade was responsible for air defense in case Japanese fighters appeared again.
After the attack was launched, the siege troops with nearly 60,000 or 70,000 troops of the two main divisions launched a fierce attack on the Japanese puppet army in Jinan from all directions, although the Japanese puppet army tried its best to resist, but under the powerful firepower of the heavy artillery and tank troops of the Longya Column, the city defense troops suffered heavy losses, and were soon broken through the city defense line by the attacking troops of the Longya Column.
The remaining Japanese puppet army was forced to retreat into the city, and the dragon's tooth column began to enter the city in a big way, and the tank infantry coordinated with each other to protect each other, along the streets, constantly advancing, and the infantry swarmed into the streets and alleys, searching every house and every corner.
Constantly oppressing the living space of the Japanese army and the puppet army, in the battle, after the devils were killed, the puppet army had no intention of resisting, and surrendered in the line of fire.
The Dragon's Tooth Column was well-equipped, had an absolute superiority in numbers, and had indestructible and incomparably strong tanks for cover and fire support, plus the secret help of the people in the city, so it occupied an overwhelming advantage in all aspects.
This street battle is simply an asymmetrical battle, the Japanese army is fighting a rootless battle, without the support of the people, they are all soldiers, everywhere is not safe, so the battle lasted less than a day, the main siege force of the Longya Column captured most of the area of Jinan City, and advanced the line of fire to the area where the Japanese headquarters was located.
This is the last stronghold of the Japanese army, so the resistance is particularly inspiring, and the remnants of the Japanese invaders are here to carry out their final madness.
Knowing that almost all the local people around the Japanese headquarters had moved away, Ma Biao, Wu Ming and others immediately agreed to transfer the first heavy artillery brigade to the city, mobilized more than a dozen 105mm German-style howitzers, and carried out a fierce artillery attack on the Japanese headquarters.
For a while, the Japanese headquarters was full of red lights, explosions were repeated, and Sasaki, who was sitting in the headquarters, held his saber in his hand and said nothing, as if waiting for the last moment to come.
At this time, Umemura Takema, who had been directing the battle outside, ran in with a disgraced face, and when he entered the door in a panic, he almost tripped over a falling wooden door frame, and he came to Sasaki to Ichichi without worrying about embarrassment, and said: "Your Excellency General, the people of China have surrounded our headquarters, and the garrison brigade and the rest of the defeated Imperial warriors are trying their best to resist. Now that the people have brought in heavy artillery and are bombarding our headquarters, it is no longer safe here, what are you going to do, Your Excellency General? β
The battle has reached this point, and Umemura Takema no longer expects Sasaki to lead them to break through, but just wants to ask Uma whether Ummura Takema is going out to fight side by side with the remaining Imperial warriors until the jade is shattered, or whether he will cut his stomach and cut himself off, or stay here and be bombarded to pieces by the heavy artillery of the Shina army.
Outside the rumbling of cannons, explosions were endless, and there were constantly earth, rocks and sawdust falling from the roof in the headquarters, as if the ground was shaking, Sasaki looked up at Umemura Takema, slowly stood up, and said to Plum Village: "Umemura-kun, I am a samurai." β
"I know that the general is still a master of the fourth stage of the sword." Umemura Bamboo Horse looked at him and said.
"I want to end my life as a samurai, can Umemura-kun accompany me?" Sasaki's face was full of seriousness, and he couldn't see a trace of nervousness and fear at the end of the catastrophe.
Umemura Takema stared at him for a few seconds, understood the intention of Sasaki's words, and immediately bowed his head and slowly pulled out the major general's saber at his waist.
Sasaki nodded with great satisfaction and pulled out his sword and said, "Yo Xi, at the last moment, it is a great pleasure in life to be able to compete with Umemura-kun, thank you!" β
"Let's make a move! Checkmate. "Umemura Takema has been in a very depressed mood during this time, he is also a master of the fourth dan of kendo, and he stepped into this field one step earlier than Sasaki Daiichi, so he is not afraid of fighting with Lieutenant General Sasaki.
It's just a good time to take advantage of this last battle to vent your depressed feelings.
Sasaki shouted angrily, swung his knife forward, and slashed towards Plum Village Bamboo Horse as fast as lightning, Plum Village Bamboo Horse hurriedly raised his knife to block, and the two steel forged sabers slashed together, making a bang! There was a loud bang.
Sparks flew everywhere, and the two of them connected with each other, and then separated, and attacked again, just like that, the cannon sound outside was continuous, the explosions were endless, and the flames were soaring, and the two supreme commanders of the fourth stage of the sword path started a battle as if no one was around.
Until the artillery stopped, countless officers and soldiers of the Dragon's Tooth Column launched a charge with guns, and the remnants of the Japanese army who suffered heavy casualties under the artillery fire of the Dragon's Tooth Column just now were wiped out by three strikes and five divided by two, and a large number of Dragon's Tooth officers and soldiers broke into the door in groups and rushed into the headquarters of Sasaki to one.
Only then did they find that the two old devils were sitting on the ground, and unbuttoned their shirts, shirtless, with a sharp saber glowing with cold light next to them.
The two old devils turned a blind eye to the dragon's tooth officers and soldiers who broke through the door, smiled at each other, raised their sabers, held them in their backhands, raised them high, and then stabbed them in the abdomen at the same time.
It turned out that the strength of these two old devils in kendo was about the same, and after a competition, neither of them could help each other, until they were both tired, so they stopped fighting, sat down with a tacit understanding, and decided to end their lives by seppuku.
All the dragon tooth officers and soldiers did not stop the little devil from cutting his abdomen, so, two seeping sounds sounded, and the two old devils had a sharp saber inserted in their abdomen, and that was not the end, the two frantic guys actually held the saber and cut a section of their abdomen, ignoring the blood and the severed intestines that kept pouring out.
Soon the two worst offenders bowed their heads and ended their sinful lives.
At this time, Zhou Dasheng, the deputy commander of the 2nd Division who was responsible for leading the assault, arrived with a team of soldiers, and the soldiers all made way for him, Zhou Dasheng saw the scene in the house clearly, went up and kicked the corpses of the two devils to the ground, turned his head and shouted angrily: "Throw these two old devils to the wild mass grave to feed the wild dogs, and I want to say that you are also a bunch of bastards, why don't you split them alive and give them the opportunity to commit suicide?" β
