The 40,000 Japanese soldiers who were hiding in the city to survive were bombarded by battleships, and the accuracy of the battleships' guns was relatively high, especially when the battleships were moored.

The Imperial Air Force of China had previously taken off two Golden Eagle 1 fighters from the field airfield that had just been repaired, and temporarily used them as reconnaissance planes to fire at the battleship's main guns.

The Japanese army in the city soon discovered that as long as the number of people gathered was relatively large, it would soon attract the fire of large-caliber naval guns. More and more people realized this, and they quickly dispersed, never daring to gather more than ten people anymore.

The reconnaissance planes found that the Japanese army was too scattered and had no bombing value, so the battleships stopped shelling, and the Chinese soldiers, who were already waiting impatiently outside the city, quickly rushed into the city.

The Japanese army's means of battlefield communication were still very primitive, limited to the use of heralds, and now all the soldiers were scattered into small groups of less than ten people, and it was impossible to assemble for a moment to put up effective resistance.

Under the rapid attack of the Chinese army, the pitiful number of Japanese soldiers could only be broken individually, and the mixed forces of the Guards and the Wehrmacht quickly eliminated the main force of the Japanese army in the city. In this operation, Zhang Zhonglin did not even dare to dispatch a bomber group in order to receive Arikawa Castle intact, so Arikawa Castle, the largest city on Kyushu Island, fell intact into the hands of the Chinese Empire.

Compared with the Central Route Army and the Left Route Army, the tension of the Right Route Army in the early stage was quite slow, and the advanced nature of its weapons for fighting in the mountains was greatly reduced, while the Japanese Army, which was familiar with the terrain, adopted the tactics of guerrilla warfare and attacked the Wehrmacht fighters at any time. With just a few shots, they burrowed into the dense mountain forest, and the Wehrmacht, who were unfamiliar with the terrain, could not pursue it at all, and the Wehrmacht was attacked several times a day, and the number of casualties was small but slowed down the troops.

Gao Deyu, who was temporarily in charge of commanding this unit, hated it so much that he had to release all the Wehrmacht's reconnaissance units and two military special operations brigades out of the army, and let them be responsible for searching the surrounding area and eliminating the scattered Japanese soldiers while the army was marching.

This method allowed the Japanese army to be curbed to a certain extent, but it was not a long-term solution, so Gao Deyu decided to speed up the march, and the army first captured Miyazaki, the largest city in the mountains, as long as it occupied there, it would cut off the source of weapons and ammunition for these stragglers, so as to fundamentally curb the sneak attack of these Japanese soldiers.

The cold guns could not stop the advance of the army, and the small number of Japanese soldiers scattered in the mountains and forests could only watch the army of Gao Deyu march towards Miyazaki Castle. Since the mountainous area was considered easy to defend and difficult to attack, it was equipped with the least number of troops, and only one division was stationed at Miyazaki Castle, and one of the wings was put into the mountains and forests by their commander to harass the Chinese army.

Miyazaki Castle is built on a mountain, and the walls are made of large blue stones, and the walls are high and thick. Gao Deyu ordered all the artillery to set up mountain artillery to bombard the city wall, but such a strong wall could not be broken by 76 mm mountain artillery.

Miyazaki Castle is deep in the mountains, and it is difficult for bombers to fly here, not to mention the fact that there are mountains and the city is small, even if it is bombed in the air, it will not have much effect.

For several days, the Wehrmacht surrounded this small town and did nothing, and Gao Deyu was in the front command headquarters every day, observing the city not far away with a telescope, but there was nothing he could do in his heart.

"General, what do you think it is?" A staff officer, who was also observing with a telescope, suddenly put down his telescope and pointed at the big mountain road behind Miyazaki Castle. Gao Deyu looked through the binoculars and saw that some people were slowly descending from the steep hillside with ropes tied around their waists, apparently preparing to bypass the Wehrmacht line and enter Miyazaki Castle.

Looking at the mountain wall at an angle of nearly eighty degrees, Gao Deyu suddenly had a kind of understanding, he turned around and said: "Go and find a few Japanese people nearby, ask them where the water source of Miyazaki Castle is, remember to find a few women, those men are too rigid to speak." ”

The soldiers of the reconnaissance unit soon found some Japanese people from the nearby mountain village, and after learning about the situation, as Gao De expected, due to the high terrain, Miyazaki Castle could not dig a well, and they mainly relied on a mountain stream on the mountain behind the castle for drinking water.

After receiving such favorable information, Gao Deyu immediately ordered a regiment to bring a large number of sacks, shovels and other things, and under the leadership of several widows, they went around the mountain wall and climbed the high mountain from behind.

Finding a water source overnight, many warriors worked together, and sacks filled with dirt and stones gradually blocked the passage of the mountain stream, and they forcibly diverted the mountain stream and flowed down from the other direction of the mountain.

The next morning, the people of Miyazaki Castle suddenly dried up the river, and for two days, there was not a drop of water to drink from Miyazaki Castle, and some riots began to appear in the city, which gradually subsided under the suppression of the Japanese soldiers.

The division commander stationed at Miyazaki Castle, Yagyu Ichiro, was also thirsty and smoking, and he was also very curious about why the mountain spring would dry up, although he didn't know the real situation of the road, he was still very sure that it was the hands and feet of the Chinese army. At this time, the Japanese people outside the city were driven by the Chinese army and sent a letter of persuasion to surrender to the city, demanding that they surrender immediately.

Receiving this surrender, Yagyu Ichiro was furious, and handed over the surrender at this time, which confirmed his guess. Yagyu Ichiro flatly rejected the request for surrender, and he sent a sternly worded letter to the Japanese to bring back, expressing his determination to hold Miyazaki Castle.

The determination was made, but there was no water to drink, and the people in the city would not live long. He had to slaughter a large number of cattle in the city, collect blood to quench his thirst, and secretly prepare troops with the intention of retaking the water source. Yagyu Ichiro believes that it is absolutely impossible for the other party to support it for too long, and as long as there is enough water in the city, it will definitely be able to force the other party away.

Ichiro Yagyu secretly ordered the city to dig a cistern to prepare for fresh water, and he knew very well that even if he could regain the water source, he would not be able to keep it for long. The strong Chinese army will not let him be so comfortable, all he can do is to reserve enough fresh water before the water source is taken again, he believes that as long as there is enough fresh water, he can let the other side return in vain.

As night fell, some local Japanese soldiers from the mountains began to climb up the mountain. It was very dangerous to climb such a steep cliff in the dark, but Yagyu Ichiro had to do so, and if he climbed during the day, he would easily be spotted by the Chinese troops surrounding Miyazaki Castle, and his sneak attack plan would be completely ineffective.

Relying on their familiarity with the mountains and rivers of their hometown, the Japanese soldiers slowly climbed upward, unable to see in the night, and it was quite difficult to climb such a steep cliff.

The other soldiers heard the screams but did not dare to look at them, they could not distract even a little energy, otherwise they themselves would be in danger, not to mention that in such a dark night, they could not see anything, finally a Japanese soldier climbed to the top of the mountain, he breathed a sigh of relief, moved his sore arm, and then fixed the long rope on his body to a rock, and went down.

More and more of the Japanese soldiers came up, and more and more ropes hung down, and the other Japanese soldiers grabbed the ropes and quickly climbed to the top of the mountain, and after an hour, a large group of men and horses had climbed up. Although there were only more than 500 people, Ozawa, who was in charge of directing the operation, knew very well in his heart that he could not wait any longer.

In such a place, staying in a place for one more minute will be more exposed, and once they are surrounded by the other party's people, they can only jump off the cliff. Commanding more than 500 Japanese soldiers, Ozawa groped his way along the river flowing down the mountain spring, and slowly approached the embankment built by the Chinese army.

"What a sound." Liu San, who was in charge of guarding, looked ahead vigilantly, and the senior soldiers on the side were also attracted by his words. They couldn't see in the darkness, and they could only see some shaky black shadows by the faint light of the stars.

Is it an animal? Impossible, it is impossible for animals to gather in such a large number and be so quiet, the Japanese soldiers, it must be the Japanese soldiers who are sneaking up. Thinking of this, Liu San picked up the semi-automatic rifle without hesitation, and shot at the black shadow in front of him, although he had already judged that it was a Japanese soldier, but he still had some bottomless in his heart, so his muzzle was deliberately raised, and the bullet flew over the heads of those people.

Hearing the gunshots, the men burst into a gurgling shout, and then the gunfire intensified. Hearing the other party's shout, Liu San identified the identity of the other party, although he couldn't understand it, but he was sure that it was a Japanese language. A large group of Japanese soldiers shot indiscriminately, and dense bullets flew everywhere around Liu San, he quickly greeted him, and found a bunker with Gao Bing to lie down and dodge.

Several nearby sentries also approached when they heard the gunshots, and they picked up their semi-automatic rifles and fired at the spot where the fire flashed. The muzzle fire in the dark night was extremely obvious, unlike those Japanese soldiers who were lying on the ground and shooting indiscriminately, the sentries of the Chinese army changed places after a few shots, and with the higher rate of fire of semi-automatic rifles, they flexibly attacked the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side.

"Rush over, rush over, break the levee." Ozawa roared, knowing that he was running out of time and that he had to put the water down as soon as possible, or else the mission would fail. Several Japanese soldiers climbed up to get close to the levee, but were quickly knocked down by oncoming bullets.

Seeing that he could not break through the past, Ozawa ordered the explosion with only a few grenades, these grenades were modeled after the Chinese Empire and had just been trial-produced in China, and the number was not large, and this was still a very expensive weapon for the Japanese soldiers.

Several grenades were thrown out of the embankment, and although only the general direction of the road was known, one grenade exploded near the embankment. The explosion of the grenade, though not large, shattered a corner of the embankment, and the rushing stream seemed to find an outlet, from which it rushed down into the former channel.
