Chapter 1053: Straight to Tokyo (Subscription!! )

After smashing Tokyo under the suppression of the ship's machine guns, there was no sign of a Japanese counterattack. Wang Sheng, the commander of the advance regiment, shouted loudly directly at the commander of a tank beside him.

"Tank No. 02, immediately ashore, advance ...."Boom...."

With the roar of the engines, a medium tank battalion equipped with the vanguard, a total of 12 American medium tanks, with their thick armor and fierce firepower, quickly built a huge semi-encirclement around the landing site...

"The protective circle has been formed, the first battalion, land immediately....the second battalion, the third battalion, the artillery battalion, follow closely after....half an hour, within half an hour, the whole regiment must all board the dock position...."The regiment commander Wang Sheng shouted violently, and with the guard company, he was the first to rush to the dock position....

Under the cover of the tank and the ship-borne machine guns behind him, Wang Sheng and the entire guard company stood on the dock very easily. After watching the infantry companies behind him, almost without any losses, he boarded the dock and quickly rushed to his own combat position. Listening to the sound of the Japanese light and heavy machine gun bullets hitting the tank load, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he looked at the steel monster in front of him who blocked the bullets.

"Holy shit, it's good to have tanks....if we could have had so many tanks in a regiment more than ten years ago, then there wouldn't be so many brothers sacrificed in the hands of little devils...."

And at this very moment, the entire independent regiment, including a dozen field guns of the artillery battalion, had all landed at the pier. Liu Huishan, the political commissar who also didn't expect the whole landing to be so easy, rushed over with an excited face.

"Regiment commander, all the commanders and fighters of my advance regiment have landed and can start the operation..."

"Okay...."Commander Wang Sheng, who was excited, directly took out the Browning that only officers at or above the regimental level could have on his waist. Facing the battalion company commander who was waiting for an order in front of him, he ordered directly.

"Comrades, the task of this advance regiment was won by me with great painstaking effort from the commander. In the battle later, if anyone dares to drop the chain for me. Don't blame me Wang Sheng for not being emotional, and directly engaging in military law...."

"Now I order, battalions and companies. According to the predetermined plan, the troops were divided into four routes and immediately launched an attack around the wharf to clear out all Japanese troops in the entire military port. Clear a full landing dock for the main force....start the operation..."

"Boom...."As soon as Wang Sheng's order was given, 12 two tanks roared at once. A group of three vehicles, with a deep force of more than two infantry companies and an artillery company. Attack on all sides with the landing point as the center...

"Yaga. The Chinese people, the tanks of the Chinese people are coming....quick, fire immediately...."

A dense burst of gunfire rang out, even though the bullets of the little devils had all been replaced with armor-piercing shells that could penetrate steel plates. However, for an American tank with frontal armor of more than thirty mm, such a blow is completely itchy.

"Boom...."A violent explosion sounded in the ruins a hundred meters away, accompanied by the fire of tank guns. Just now it was an unusually arrogant Japanese heavy machine gun position. Straight into a pile of rubble. As for the few little devil machine gunners, they were directly blown into pieces of minced meat by shells ....

With the help of three steel monsters, the four-way attack force can be called overwhelming. In less than half an hour, all the remnants of the enemy in the entire military port were turned into corpses. Of course. The landing ground, which was several kilometers in circumference, was also safely placed in front of the Sixth Corps of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

on a 10,000-ton transport ship. Chen Geng, commander-in-chief of the landing force, was in the small headquarters. Walking around anxiously, waiting for the latest battle report from the front.

At this moment, before the person entered the headquarters, the voice of his old partner, Han Liancheng, the chief of staff, clearly reached Chen Geng's ears.

"Commander, good news....Wang Sheng's telegram of good news...."

…,

"Be specific...."Chen Geng desperately suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked directly.

"After more than an hour of bloody fighting, with the assistance of a tank battalion, the advance regiment has successfully cleared all the remnants of the Japanese army in the military port. At present, the entire military port is completely in our hands...."Han Liancheng replied with a firm face.

"This Wang Sheng, after all, has lived up to the expectations of all of us, and I want to give him credit in person...."Chen Geng's fists that had been clenched finally loosened. After a long sigh, he spoke.

According to Wang Sheng's report, a tank battalion attached to the headquarters played a crucial role throughout the battle. He even said that if he was given two more tank battalions, he would be able to lead the advance regiment all the way to Tokyo, the capital of the little devils..."Han Liancheng said with a smile.

"With only the strength of one regiment, he Wang Sheng wants to fight all the way to Tokyo, it seems that we still underestimate his appetite. However, it's not impossible to give it a try..."Under the prompting of his old partner's joke, Chen Geng suddenly thought of something and said thoughtfully.

"Commander, I heard you right, you don't really plan to let Wang Sheng have a regiment of troops to fight Tokyo....You must be clear, according to the report of the General Headquarters, the Japanese army has gathered more than one division of elites in Tokyo, including their Guards Division..."

It is clear that his reminder is superfluous. As soon as his words fell, a noncommittal smile appeared on Chen Geng's face. Then, he asked directly at Han Liancheng.

"Old Han, what is the task assigned to us by the commander-in-chief?"

"Landing at Yokosu Military Port. The troops were divided into two routes, occupying two strategic points at Tokyo Airport and Yokohama...."Han Liancheng replied.

"You're right....to occupy the port of Yokohama, with the support of the navy, and with the equipment of my Sixth Corps today, it is almost easy to occupy it. However, the Tokyo airport is not so easy..."Looking at the thoughtful Han Liancheng, Chen Geng continued to speak.

"Before I returned, the commander-in-chief personally gave me an account. The reason why we occupied the Tokyo airport was to get them to say yes for me. If the battle to capture the airfield turns directly into a battle, can you imagine that the airfield will be operational immediately after the battle is over? So, we have to come up with a foolproof plan to take the Tokyo airport with the least damage possible..."

"And what you just said made me think of a plan...."

Looking at Chen Geng with a smile on his face in front of him, his old partner Han Liancheng immediately reacted and blurted out: "Commander, you are planning to attack the east and the west..."

"Yes, it is a sound to attack the east and west....clearly order the troops to storm Tokyo, forcing the Japanese army to gather all the surrounding main forces in their capital. Secretly send an elite army, take advantage of the emptiness of the airport, quietly occupy it, and defend it...."Chen Geng replied affirmatively. Immediately, he asked Han Liancheng in front of him....

"Old Han, more than an hour has passed, how many troops have landed now..."

"A main division, an armored regiment...."Han Liancheng replied.

"Okay....order the armored regiment, and immediately assign an armored battalion to the advance regiment Wang Sheng for command. At the same time, he ordered Wang Sheng to immediately lead the leading detachment and go all the way north to the capital of Tokyo..."

"Order the main division, which has already landed, to take advantage of the darkness of night to advance covertly in the direction of Tokyo Airport an hour after the departure of the advance group....find a way to take Tokyo Airport as perfectly as possible at the minimum cost, and hold it and wait for the arrival of the main force...."Chen Geng ordered directly.

"It's....Commander..."

A main regiment, a tank battalion, an armored battalion, plus the naval artillery support of three destroyers along the coast. The offensive of the entire advance regiment can be called overwhelming....

…,

Under the continuous assault of a total of 12 tanks of the tank battalion, the two defensive lines hastily constructed by the Japanese army were broken through one after another in less than half an hour....and at the same time, the landing force of the Chinese country successfully landed, and with the assistance of a large number of tank groups, the news of the direct attack on Tokyo was like a gust of wind, quickly blowing through the entire capital...

At the Japanese General Staff Headquarters in Tokyo, Lieutenant General Tanaka also walked around anxiously, waiting for the latest battle report from the front.

"Your Excellency, Deputy Chief of Staff, the latest battle report from the front... At the same time, a Chinese advance force equipped with a large number of tanks and armored combat vehicles is rapidly approaching our capital Tokyo....so far, this advance force has broken through our two lines of defense, and the front line is asking for support...."A combat staff officer reported with panic in his heart.

"Baga, the cunning Shina people, really came here for our capital....no, I must not let the imperial capital fall into the hands of the [Chinese]...."Lieutenant General Tanaka clenched his fists and said with a firm face.

Immediately, facing the chief of staff in front of him, he decisively ordered.

"Inform the Guards Division that an infantry wing and a field artillery brigade will be dispatched immediately to meet the advance force sent by the Chinese army....At the same time, in the direction of the airport, except for one garrison squadron, all the remaining troops will return to the capital Tokyo...."Hayi....Only, Your Excellency Deputy Chief of Staff, for the safety of the airport, is one squadron too few...."The operational staff officer reminded with a kind face.

However, his reminder was not affirmed by Lieutenant General Tanaka.

"Baga, now that the airport is no longer usable, leaving so many troops to protect an airport that is of no value for the time being, it is better to concentrate on the order to protect the capital. Go and convey the order immediately, otherwise, military justice is engaged ...."

"Ha Yi, I'm going to give orders right away...."The combat staff officer quickly replied, and left Lieutenant General Tanaka's office as if he had fled.
