Chapter Twenty-Four: The Spark (II)
As the battle progressed, the city of Nagoya was gradually burned to ashes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIn Japanese cities at this time, most houses were pasted with bamboo, wood, and paper, and there were very few brick houses (earthquakes were frequent, so it was too dangerous to live in a brick house), and there were not many modern buildings made of reinforced concrete. When a fire burns down, it basically turns into white ground. The heat was so hot that people could barely stay in the city, and the U.S. troops took the opportunity to break away from the line of fire and withdrew.
When the US ground troops, which had been too aggressive before, finally broke off contact with the Japanese army and no longer had their teeth staggered, the US Air Force B-29 strategic bombers were also able to dispatch a large number of sarin and Soman gas bombs on the burning Nagoya, in an attempt to smoke these tenacious Japanese devils to death.
However, based on the experience of the Tokyo nuclear bombing and the bombing of Kyoto, Lieutenant General Shigeki Mori had already anticipated such a situation, evacuated the citizens in advance, and scattered the vast majority of his troops outside the city, and only arranged a small number of elite troops to defend some strong fortifications, relying on repaired sewers and newly dug underground tunnels for mobilization: now the entire wartime base camp in Tokyo has become radioactive dust, and there is no longer such a rigid order that requires the front-line generals to "fight for every inch of land" and "show the bravery of the imperial army". As a result, the Japanese army, which stubbornly held Nagoya, gained unprecedented tactical flexibility.
Therefore, on the battlefield of Nagoya, the poison gas of the American army was very effective against the Japanese army lurking in well-established fortifications and with gas masks and protective clothing. And the boiling sea of fire also hindered the effectiveness of the poison gas to a certain extent. When the poison gas dissipated and the US ground troops attacked again, the Japanese troops defending the city were still like rats in the gutter, constantly firing cold guns and cannons at them, making them beat everywhere.
At the same time, the offensive positions of the American troops in the suburbs were frequently harassed by various Japanese "irregulars" or guerrillas: Lieutenant General Shigeki Mori thought that he was not capable of training so many rabbles from various sources into imperial soldiers in such a short period of time. And in the city of Nagoya, which lacks fortifications, there are simply not so many people, and if you force it in, you can only be bombed in vain. Rather than let them huddle together and shed blood in vain, it is better to let these "patriotic warriors" play freely, no matter what kind of fight they can make.
Therefore, in response to these rabble people who are under the banner of "Jin Ju Group", "Sakura Team", "Huitian Team", "Kamikaze Company" and so on, looking at the rabble who do not know whether they should be regarded as militia, samurai regiment or extreme violent regiment, Lieutenant General Mori Shigeki only mixed some more reliable retired veterans with the regular army to supplement the embarrassment of insufficient troops: As for the remaining hot-blooded young people and energetic social groups, Lieutenant General Mori Shigeki opened the arsenal, what 38 big covers, golden hook rifles, crooked handle machine guns, southern pistols, grenadiers, Mortars, you can take them as you like - anyway, there are enough ordnance in Nagoya Castle to arm fifteen divisions, and he has only one division in his hands. After these surplus ordnance were distributed to "folk warriors", as long as they could kill a few American and British ghost animals, they would be considered earned. Of course, if these bastards take the arms but do not fight the British and American ghost animals, but go to rob homes and rob houses and harm the people, then Lieutenant General Mori Shigeki can only pinch his nose and admit it: Anyway, Japan has already perished, do you still need to consider any social security?
As a result, it was a crooked attack that gave full play to the wonderful effect of guerrilla warfare for the whole people. After all, Nagoya is not an overseas island, but the most densely populated core hinterland of the Japanese archipelago, surrounded by imperial citizens who have been educated in militarism since childhood and practiced the art of killing every day. Everyone thinks they are militaristic men, Yamato samurai, and the spiritual education they have received has always been "loyalty to the emperor", "greater East Asia co-prosperity" and "defeat the British and American ghost animals".
As a result, under the leadership of many "anti-US fighters," US troops' transport units, field hospitals, supply depots, and front-line airfields were frequently attacked, and some of the "anti-US fighters" hid in the grass to shoot cold guns, dug pits and buried mines on highways, blasted bridges and railways, or used mortars and bazookas to carry out sneak attacks from a distance. Not to mention that lone American infantry is often shot in the head, even the American "Pershing" and "Sherman" tanks must be careful when driving, otherwise they are likely to be blown off by rockets, and then gasoline bottles and cluster grenades will be burned to charcoal.
However, the American GIs at this time are no longer those loose sons and brothers on the Philippine battlefield. Through repeated battles in Europe, North Africa, and the Pacific theater, they have gradually adapted to the rhythm of war. Relying on all kinds of powerful weapon systems and naval and air support, the US troops bombed bunkers and burned holes with flamethrowers along the way; when they encountered a strong stronghold that could not be gnawed for a while, they first blocked it and then bypassed it; planes flew over and strafed almost against the treetops; the ballistic calculations of the artillery were also accurate enough to participate in the Olympiad mathematics competition; battlefield communications were quite smooth, and tactical command was also flexible and changeable.
In the face of the Japanese army's all-out guerrilla warfare, their response was to launch a sweep, mercilessly killing every Japanese in sight, men, women, and children, and barely taking prisoners. And the Japanese also retaliated as intact, as experts in perverted behavior, almost none of the white soldiers of the United States, Australia and New Zealand who fell into their hands were able to die intact. The battlefield within a radius of several tens of kilometers was full of dying people who had been pierced from the anus ♂ to the mouth with wooden poles, or had their hands and feet nailed to the cross, but they were still wriggling. The Allies did the same, putting all the captured Japanese on wooden sticks.
When the news reached the other side of the world, the furious Japanese and Australian troops also raised their butcher knives, retaliated with a tooth for a tooth, and used even more brutal means to massacre the white residents and prisoners of war in the Australian occupation area. Retaliation and counter-retaliation on both sides have escalated. The level of cruelty and perversion is refreshing the lower limit every day.
In this large-scale war, an irresolvable blood feud has been formed between the two major nations, either you die or I live. Both sides are no longer honor-oriented armed groups, but bloodthirsty beasts with perverted hatred for the whole of humanity, the whole civilization, and the whole world.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Field Marshal MacArthur turned a blind eye to the atrocities inflicted on Japanese civilians by Allied soldiers, and several years of bloody fighting in the Philippines and Australia, as well as the various atrocities of the Japanese army that he had witnessed, had led him to exclude the Japanese from the category of human beings, but to classify them as pests. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have so many poison gases and atomic bombs in his hands, he would have been eager to cleanse the entire Japanese archipelago into a no-man's land.
Whether it is for a person or a country, breaking through the lower limit for the first time is always the most difficult and the most hesitant.
However, as long as you really take the first step, then the rest is not a problem. As long as the first gas war is waged and the first massacre is carried out, then there will definitely be a second and third ...... Until you get used to it. This is true for both the U.S. and Japanese armies.
However, no matter how much he hated these yellow-skinned dwarves who were as ferocious as beasts, MacArthur had to admit that the other party was indeed not easy to deal with. Although the U.S. military has deployed almost all means of destruction except the atomic bomb, and has indeed taken control of the port and a considerable part of the urban area, it has never been able to encircle it on all sides due to the limitation of its troops. At present, most of Nagoya is still in the thick of the battle, and it is slow to achieve a complete victory.
If the U.S. military fails to completely crush the Japanese will to resist as quickly as possible and win a complete victory in the Battle of Nagoya with a clean and neat attitude, then the next battle will be even more protracted and unbearable.
-- With the collapse of the Japanese Empire, the former allies of the United States of America have begun to become half-hearted.
And what bothered him even more was the terrifying haze of the giant red bear in the north: the other party's bear paw had reached out to this archipelago!
Damn the Bolsheviks! Damn liberate all of humanity! Damn the Japanese reds!
These bastards are like vultures that smell rancid, and they can't wait to snatch the fruits of victory that rightfully belong only to the United States!
“…… The Japanese Bolsheviks occupied the Kanazawa City Hall and proclaimed the Echizen Soviet Republic! Lieutenant General Tadamichi Kuribayashi, commander of the 7th Division of the Japanese Army in Hokkaido, announced the change of banner in Sapporo and the establishment of the Hokkaido Soviet Republic! The old governments of Aomori, Yamagata, Noto, and Akita prefectures were overthrown, and Soviet power was established one after another! The main force of the Soviet Pacific Fleet crossed the Sea of Japan and joined forces with the rioting sailors of Maizuru Town, and the Soviet Far Eastern Border Force entered the Korean Peninsula in a big way...... Damn, what exactly did the Soviets want to do? ”
Marshal MacArthur cursed in a low voice, crumpled the intelligence document he had just received into a ball of paper, and struck a match to burn it. Then, with a corncob pipe in his mouth, he took out a map of Japan from his briefcase, looked around at the names of places he had just seen, and couldn't help frowning.
-- With this series of areas dyed red, the Sea of Japan is about to change from "Hirohito's pond" to "Stalin's pond"!
For the United States of America, this is obviously not a good thing, and it is necessary to find a way to drag the Soviets a little.
“…… Well, Halsey is now leading the fleet to Ningbo to escort aid to the Chinese army, which is worse than pigs...... It just so happens that Syngman Rhee, the North Korean, is now in Hawaii, so he can be brought to China with aid, and then pulled the North Korean Provisional Government in China, and find a way to get some people together and throw them on the Korean Peninsula! The Soviets can't just take over that peninsula easily! Even if the United States can't spare their hands to grab territory on the Korean Peninsula for a while, they will have to find a way to add some ...... to those damn red elements."
He touched his chin and muttered to himself, feeling that he had come up with a brilliant idea, and he couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed. So I was going to visit the U.S. Army Frontline Field Hospital in Arimatsu Town, Midori-ku, Nagoya City, to comfort the wounded and send them some condolences.
What MacArthur didn't know, however, was that the city of Nagoya was once known as Nakono Castle in Japan. And the location of the U.S. Army field hospital has an extremely popular place name in Japanese history, familiar to the elderly and children: Barrel Sasama.
What MacArthur didn't know was that when he left the forward observation post in a jeep, a small figure in a winter camouflage uniform lying on the hill was carrying a miniature radio on his back, carrying a photo of the marshal, and staring at his whereabouts with a high-powered telescope......
A moment later, relying on the radio waves flying across the sky, the Japanese military headquarters set up at Atsuta Jingu Shrine learned a shocking news:
The enemy is in the barrel room!
