Chapter 131: Don't Take Prisoners
When Zhong Yi received Zhang Zheng's battle summary, he had already arrived in Manila. After Carold learned that the secret treaty he signed with the United States was known to the Han Emperor, he was very attentive and worked hard to repair the rift between the Red Shield family and the Han Emperor.
The little goblin who accompanied him was also extremely flattering, well-behaved like a Persian cat, which made Zhong Yi's heart gradually soften, of course, because of the war against Japan, His Majesty didn't have the heart to think too much about these things.
By capturing the island of Peleliu, Japan could no longer take off bombers to threaten the airfields of Dahan itself. Although the casualty figures are a bit scary, Zhong Yi also knows that it is not easy for the Yangzhou army, which has just formed an army, to fight the most tragic battle to seize the island like this. The reason why the Royal Navy has an all-round sea and air superiority is because of the bravery and fearlessness of the officers and men of the 27th Army.
Objectively speaking, the Japanese army in this era is mostly veterans, and the gap between the Han army and the Han army in terms of individual tactical literacy is not small, and the results of the Battle of Peidao are enough to prove this.
But what bothered His Majesty even more was the Hong Kong side. The massacre of Volunteers by the Japanese was inhumane enough, and the abduction of civilians in the New Territories was simply ...... When Zhong Yi first received the news, he was already powerless to complain, is this Nima still an army? This is a bunch of hooligans with no limit to discipline!
However, considering the atrocities committed by the Japanese army in other parts of China, it is not surprising that the 38th Division could do such a humiliating thing.
"Treat non-people in the way of inhumans, gentlemen are good, and evil is also good!"
This is a reply from His Majesty to Wang Yizhe. Now His Majesty is more and more adept at using the art of courting people, and saying more about right and wrong, ambiguous words, and letting the people below guess for themselves, is a good way for the superior to maintain the necessary mystery.
General Wang Yizhe was embarrassed when he received this reply, what does Your Majesty mean by this? The 29th Army at Hung Hom Station in the New Territories has been confronting the Japanese army for three days, and the little devils are clamoring every day, but the 29th Army really has no good way. The fighting in other areas was over, and the Japanese 38th Division had been wiped out except for this group of brutes in the New Territories, and the division commander, Lieutenant General Takeo Ito, committed suicide by disembowelment. The 28th Army of the Bingzhou Army also crossed the Shenzhen River, traced the Pearl River, and approached Guangzhou.
Lieutenant General Toshiyoshi Ando, commander of the South China Front of the Japanese Army stationed in Guangzhou, organized the Japanese 5th, 18th, and 104th Divisions to deploy defenses in the Dongguan area, while the Japanese Guards Division held on to Guangzhou and urgently appealed to the base camp for help.
In South China, the strength of the Japanese army was still much higher than that of the Northern Army, but in the First World War of Hong Kong, the entire division was annihilated for the first time after the Japanese invasion of China. Major General Nemoto, chief of staff of the South China Front, believed that the current Japanese army in South China was not enough to stop the Han army's northward advance.
The report of the South China Front received sufficient attention from the Tokyo base camp, and the chief of staff of the army, Prince Miyazaihito, personally ordered the transfer of the 10th Army, which had just landed in Shanghai, to the command of the South China Front. The newly formed 10th Army included the 6th, 19th and 114th Divisions. In particular, the 6th (Kumamoto) Division, together with the 2nd (Sendai) Division, is known as the two strongest and most effective units in the Japanese Army. In the Songhu War of Resistance, it was the landing of the Kumamoto Division in Hangzhou Bay that forced the collapse of the Chinese defenders in Shanghai on all fronts. In the subsequent Battle of Nanjing, it was the Kumamoto Division that took the lead in attacking Zhonghua Gate. After the Nanjing Massacre, the Sixth Division, which was stained with the blood of the Chinese people, marched north along the north bank of the Yangtze River under the leadership of division commander Shiro Inaba Shiro in the Battle of Wuhan, and attacked more than a dozen divisions of the two major armies of Li Pinxian and Li Yannian, forcibly captured the fortresses of Banbishan and Tianjiazhen, and smashed open the gate of Wuhan.
This time, the Kumamoto Division went south as the main force of the 10th Army to support, and Shiro Inaba arrogantly shouted that his Sixth Division was going to single-handedly take on the Royal Guard, the first strong force of the Han Dynasty.
Jiang Yunzhi, the commander of the Guards Army, who heard the news, showed a rare smile on his black face - he was amused! This Shiro Inaba wants to treat ignorance as a personality! Single-handedly Guards? There are more than 200,000 members of the Han Royal Guards Legion, and there are more than 100,000 combat troops alone, so the 20,000 or 30,000 people in the Sixth Division still want to play with the Guards? It's okay, since people have shouted out, if the Guards should not fight, let Little Japan laugh at us!
Commander Chiang went to Jinhua Palace, and when he returned, he ordered the 1st Guards Division to prepare and go to China to join the Northern Army. Huo Lu, the commander of the first division, was the same as Jiang Yunzhi, a member of His Majesty's original guard squad, and when he heard the news, he almost jumped up with joy! I've wanted to fight with little Japan for a long time, but there has been no task for the Guards in the recent two-front battles.
"When you catch that little devil named Shiro, you must thank him." Master Huo was stimulated by this unexpected surprise and was a little speechless.
The second group of combat troops to land in China was the Youzhou Regiment, which now joined the 1st Guards Division. The treatment of the Son of Heaven's pro-army is different from that of ordinary troops, even the Yanhuang Wheel is specially transferred from the shipyards in the eastern part of the empire, and because the 1st Guards Division is an armored unit, the heavy equipment such as tanks and armored vehicles is enough to load 20 Yanhuang Wheels, plus personnel and other equipment, the troops of one division alone occupy half the size of the transport fleet.
The commander of the Northern Fleet Longzhou who was escorting the escort smiled "hehe", "Canghai, that little devil of Inaba Shiro is arrogant and boundless, and he has completely angered His Majesty, and even the most precious 'First Division in the World' has been sent out!" ”
"The good days of the Sixth Division of the little devils are over!" Guan Canghai, the captain of the Gongjin, highly respected the combat power of the 1st Guards Division, and you must know that this is His Majesty's army to fight the country. From the original Western Australia to Melbourne and Canberra, it can be said that the rivers and mountains of the Han Empire were fought by the First Guard Division!
Long Zhou also deeply believes this, at the beginning of the Battle of Melbourne, nearly 100,000 British and Australian allied troops, in the face of the armored cluster commanded by Jiang Yunzhi, was not defeated in a battle? Little devil, this is a toad in a well - I don't know how thick the sky is! Do you really think that if you defeat the warlord forces in China, they will be invincible in the world?
The two Royal Navy officers seemed to have seen the Guards abusing the little devils, but what they didn't know was that it was not the arrogant Kumamoto Division that really angered His Majesty, but the little devils in another place, and that little place was called Gifu.
The 229th Gifu Wing of the 38th Division of the Japanese Army did not realize what they were doing and what they would bring to their hometown in the future, and they did not have the opportunity to see their hometown turned into ruins in the explosion of the world's first atomic bomb. During the days of confrontation at the Hung Hom railway station in the New Territories, the unreasonable demands of the Gifu Wing were never met, and the only demand of the supreme commander of the Han North Army, Wang Yizhe, was that they surrender unconditionally. Wang Yizhe also ordered all the Japanese overseas Chinese in Hong Kong to be arrested in the New Territories and exchanged hostages with the Gifu Wing, which is what he understood as "treating non-people in a non-human way......
Since it's not human's business for little devils to do it everywhere, then let's stop pretending to be gentlemen, if you dare to arrest Chinese civilians, we can arrest Japanese civilians. However, Wang Yizhe still underestimated the shamelessness of the Japanese, and the Qifu United did not care about the life and death of the other Japanese, and threatened to kill the tens of thousands of Chinese in the train station if they did not agree to their request to let them leave Hong Kong. In a sign of their determination, the frenzied little devils pulled dozens of hostages out, pretended to let them go, and then machine-gunned them behind them......
This scene happened in front of Wang Yizhe and other officers of the Northern Group Army. General Wang Yizhe, who didn't know that his lips were bitten and bleeding, gave an order with a blue face: Attack! The compatriots who died will be sacrificed with the heads of the little devils!
"We don't want captives of little devils!"
This is the last sentence of Wang Yizhe's confession, and it is also a principle that the Northern Army resolutely implements when fighting the Japanese army!
