On Tsushima Island, after the landing of the 3rd Brigade of the 1st Division, the Japanese 2nd line of defense was shattered under a powerful offensive, and the landing point gradually and continuously expanded, and the Japanese army stopped counterattacking. The Corps Command ordered the Marine Brigade to land on the north side of the town of Tsushima by selecting a landing site. At about noon, three regiments of the Marine Brigade, supported by fire from five gunboats, successfully landed 5 kilometers north of Tsushima Town, and the battle situation became more and more favorable.

The headquarters of the Japanese army in Tsushima Town, Yamamoto looked at the scene of the fierce battle in front of him, and was silent as he watched the fierce offensive of the Chinese army. He had been mentally prepared for the fall of Tsushima, but he did not expect that overnight, the Chinese army would successfully land and gain a firm foothold. Now that the second line of defense is facing a miss, the command is in the third line of defense, and the next step of the Chinese army to launch an attack on the third line is a foregone conclusion.

The mood of the generals in the command was very depressed, Commander Yamamoto did not squeak, and the others did not dare to take a breath. "Commander Yamamoto, there is very little artillery left, 80% destroyed, and it is only a matter of time before the enemy captures Tsushima Town!" The chief of staff reminded Yamamoto. At this time, a communications officer came in and made an urgent report: "The defense unit in the north of Tsushima Town has reported that 3 regiments of the enemy have landed in Area 5!" ”

At this time, the commander who was in charge of the defense of Tsushima Town stepped forward and said: "The commander is responsible for the command of the entire island, it is no longer safe here, my subordinates ask the commander to leave here quickly, please rest assured, I will stick to Zuihou and serve the emperor." Yamamoto stepped forward and patted the other party on the shoulder and said, "The successful landing of the Chinese army is not unexpected, this situation has been expected." Now comes the critical time for us to live and die with Tsushima, and we are here to fight one more day. The Japanese archipelago is safe for one more day. Kobayashi-kun, to make the enemy pay a heavy price for every step forward. My headquarters is in Cuiping Mountain, and this commander will fight all the soldiers on Tsushima Island until the Zuihou moment. ”

Yamamoto heads to Mt. Cuiping. It also means that the jade crushing jihua officially began, and the Japanese army nearly 60,000 officers and soldiers implemented the overall jade crushing, which is extremely terrifying. Regarding the Japanese army's jade crushing tactics, not to mention that Zhuang Lei did not expect it, and the commander He Meng did not expect it either. The Japanese soldiers were strapped with explosives, and Zuihou was always killed in order to achieve the goal of depleting the enemy.

1 p.m. Zhuang Lei stepped onto the docks of Tsushima Island, and at this time, the 2nd and 3rd Brigades were attacking the Japanese 3rd fortifications.

A gunboat that served as artillery fire support on the sea. Already close to the harbor to carry out artillery strikes, the roar of naval guns was deafening. After the second fortification was taken, Hu Biao received an order for the 1st Brigade to stop the attack and withdraw to rest. on the pier. Hu Biao, who was ragged and covered in blood, stood in front of Zhuang Lei. "Report to the division commander. Subordinates come to report, please instruct! Zhuang Lei held Hu Biao's hand with a solemn expression, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.

Zhuang Lei said emotionally: "You are good, I salute you on behalf of the whole division!" Hu Biao blamed himself: "Because of my responsibility, the battle losses of the whole brigade reached 70 percent, and there are only 300 people left in our regiment!" After Hu Biao finished speaking, his eyes were a little moist. Zhuang Lei patted him on the shoulder in understanding and said, "This is a cruel landing operation, don't have ideological baggage." Now I will announce the appointment, the Corps Command has appointed Hu Biao as the commander of the 1st Brigade. The order is issued and shall take effect immediately. ”

"Obey the order!" Hu Biao solemnly saluted. Zhuang Lei said: "Your brigade will immediately retreat to Geoje Island to rest, and the corps reserve will replenish your troops." "Commander. The battle is raging, and we can't pull back! "Execute the order!" Zhuang Lei is undoubted. "Division Commander, so many brothers have died in battle, let us withdraw at this time, how can I explain to the brothers." "Your brigade has done an excellent job of its mission, and it is ready to fight again. Tsushima is a tough nut, and I'm sure you'll be back soon. ”

Zhuang Lei walked into the chief of staff of the division headquarters and said: "The 2nd Brigade and the 3rd Brigade report that the Japanese defense is very tenacious, and the position is broken through and still desperately resists and refuses to surrender. The Japanese soldiers were all strapped with explosives, and Zuihou detonated and died together, and the fucking little Japan was crazy. Zhuang Lei was shocked when he heard this: "Is the battle situation of all departments like this?" "Yes!" "Order the attacking troops to slow down the attack and prevent the enemy from committing suicide. Also, do not come into contact with Japanese soldiers, and try to kill them as early as possible. ”

In the evening, the Japanese third line of defense was captured, and the landing site was rapidly expanded in the area occupied by the Marine Brigade in the north. It forms an area with a length of 10 kilometers and a depth of about 5 kilometers. The landing site expanded, and the follow-up troops came up. The 2nd and 3rd Divisions of the 1st Army quickly went to the island to replace the 1st Division. On the dock, Zhuang Lei reported to the army commander: "Report to the army commander, our department has been handed over with the 2nd and 3rd divisions, please instruct." ”

"Your division has done an excellent job and immediately retreated to Geoje Island to rest." "Commander, the Japanese army has taken a suicidal attack, causing large casualties in our department, and we must pay attention to it." "The information you provided, the corps headquarters attaches great importance to it, and it has been reported to the headquarters, so you can rest assured!" Zhuang Lei led his troops to board the transport ship and turn back to Geoje Island. Three hours later, Zhuang Lei's figure appeared in front of Yue Zhendong.

"You tell me in detail about the Japanese suicide attack, and Commander He wants first-hand information." Yue Zhendong poured Zhuang Lei a cup of tea. “????? `

Commander Yue, after the 2nd Brigade and the 3rd Brigade of our division launched an attack on the third line of Japanese positions, the Japanese army completely changed its tactics and adopted suicide attacks. The slain soldiers were all strapped with explosives, and the Japanese army's tactics seemed to be jihua's actions. After our troops captured the third line of positions at dusk, the battle loss rate reached 50 percent, and I felt that the Japanese army seemed to be prepared. The point is that none of the Japanese soldiers surrendered, and almost all of them were killed. Yue Zhendong said: "Your analysis is reasonable, I will sort out the situation and report to Commander He." ”

In the headquarters of the Busan Front, He Meng, who was originally in a big mood, received a report from Yue Zhendong, commander of the corps, and his mood became bad. "There were originally 30,000 Japanese troops on Tsushima Island, and after the Japanese army increased its troops, it was initially judged that the total strength of the Japanese army should reach at least 60,000. Judging from the battle damage of the 1st Division, it is very likely that the Japanese army had Jihua's jade crushing operation. "Operation Jade Crush? It is inconceivable that little Japan is crazy and actually adopts inhumane tactics. The Chief of Staff's eyes widened in surprise.

He Meng said: "When I was in the military academy, I heard the president introduce the Japanese nation, this nation is arrogant and humble, and the closure of the island country has made them pretentious for a long time, and no one in their eyes, they think that the Japanese samurai are the best in the world. When the external excitement makes them wake up, they feel inferior. The Japanese archipelago has been influenced by Chinese culture for thousands of years, and they are jealous and afraid of Chinese culture, and when the Manchu Dynasty declined, the Japanese thought that they could finally raise their eyebrows. They thought that holding the thighs of foreigners could create the glory of the Yamato nation. ”

He Meng continued: "Just when the Japanese were dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Period, the world turned upside down, and they didn't expect that the land of China had undergone earth-shaking changes, and the Japanese could not accept this fact, and the short-sightedness of their strategic vision made them lose their way. When disaster really befalls them, the Yamato people, who have worshiped the spirit of bushido since ancient times, will go crazy in despair. It is undeniable that their unity, tenacity, and dedication are remarkable. The president said that the Yamato nation is different, and if they become strong, the Chinese nation will fall into a catastrophe. It is for this reason that the president wants to make the Yamato nation forever subjugated. ”

"Commander, the president is really a man of God, and he actually knows so much about the Yamato nation, and since the battle with the Japanese army, the above signs have become more and more obvious, so it is not surprising that the Japanese army on Tsushima Island has formulated jade shattering jihua." The chief of staff suddenly realized. He Meng groaned and said: "We can't accompany the Japanese army if they want to die, for this group of crazy gamblers, humanity and mercy no longer have any meaning." Ordered the 1st Heavy Artillery Division, the 2nd Artillery Division, and the 3rd Infantry Artillery Division to land on Tsushima and triple the firepower, and ordered the 1st Army, the soldiers of the Japanese defense on Tsushima not to live a single mouth, since the Japanese soldiers wanted to break the jade, we will fulfill them. ”

Looking at the cold murderous aura on He Meng's face, the back of the chief of staff felt a chill in his neck. He knew that the commander was right to do so, and that if the Japanese were allowed to launch a suicide attack, the battle loss rate would be staggering. If He Meng hadn't been influenced by Deng Zixuan at the military academy, he wouldn't have done this. Whether it is humane or civilized, first of all, the interests of the Chinese nation are the highest interests. No matter which nationality it is, no matter how beautifully the slogan is shouted and no matter how high the banner of humanity is raised, to put it bluntly, it is all high-sounding and has no practical significance.

On the north side of Geoje Island, Zhuang Lei and Hu Biao stood on the shore and talked. After returning to Geoje Island, Hu Biao has been in a bad mood, and Zhuang Lei wants to communicate with him, "Is your injury better!" Zhuang Lei asked with concern. The single piece was removed, and the bones were not hurt, and some of the inflammation was not a major deal. It's just that I'm in a bad mood, so many good brothers are gone," Hu Biao said sadly. "I feel the same way as you, but that's the war we have to face." "Commander, how long do we rest, the brothers are holding back to take revenge." "I don't know, wait for the order!" After Zhuang Lei finished speaking, his eyes turned to the sea.

At this time, the figure of the artillery unit appeared on the sea. "Obediently, there is a division of artillery units, and the fire strike is too evil!" "It's not one division, it's three divisions that are put into the battle on Tsushima!" "Three divisions? It's too extravagant. "The front army command judged that the Japanese army was very likely to implement all jade crushing jihua on Tsushima Island, so Commander He decided to invest three artillery divisions, and the 102-mm heavy artillery was the first time to participate in the battle, and Commander He had already issued an order to the front-line troops not to let the Japanese soldiers live."

"Commander, it's just spectacular, if you don't see the hearty scene, you have to kill me in a hurry. Division commander, Commander Yue is our old army commander, how about you go and plead for our division to go into battle? Fuck the Japanese commander is simply crazy? Zhuang Lei shook his head and said: "The replenishment of troops needs to be run-in, and I am afraid that it will not be our turn to fight on Tsushima Island." Hu Biao knew that the division commander was telling the truth, and according to the division commander's temperament, I am afraid that he would have asked for help a long time ago. Hu Biao's eyes were aimed at the flotilla carrying artillery, and a helpless expression appeared on his face. (To be continued......)

PS: The landing operation was a great success!
