374 A small fill
The ambush of the 4th Brigade of the Little Devil Independent Tank and the ambush of the artillery wing were the last struggles of the Zuohuo defenders, and they made a desperate attempt to play the last hole cards in their hands, but to no avail.
After waiting for the tank battalion and the assault battalion to unite and cooperate, the artillery position of the little devil was knocked out without any suspense, thus making the Zuohuo defenders lose their strongest firepower, and the defensive position was powerless in the face of the charge of Sun Desheng's tank battalion.
In less than half a day, the entire defensive front was broken. Zuo Huo, who had learned the lesson of Fugang, did not dare to organize street battles at all, and after the brigade commander took control of the city, he launched an attack on Changqi after only one night's rest.
This time, with Gao Jianwu's naval guns, Changqi's attack was smoother, and most of the little devils who defended Changqi were buried under the covered shelling of the naval artillery, which greatly reduced the difficulty of the big brigade commander's attack, for Gao Jianwu, as long as Changqi's shipyard was taken down, the others were not very important, so there were not so many scruples when attacking.
Tanks, artillery, naval guns, and air forces were dispatched in turn, and a three-wing little devil garrison stationed in Changqi was quickly wiped out.
After capturing three big cities in a row, and exhausting the main force of the 56th Army of Little Devils, Gao Jianwu got the two major factories he wanted most, Yawata Steel and Nagaki Shipbuilding.
The Changqi Shipyard is one of the four major shipyards of Xiaobenzi, which has the ability to build battleships, and this time Gao Jianwu's goal is to copy it to the Dalian Heavy Industry Shipyard to lay the foundation for the future 051 destroyer and aircraft carrier manufacturing.
So as soon as I got it, I started the non-stop demolition work.
As a member of the demolition team, Gao Jianwu has unique experience in demolition.
At the same time, the Allied forces had made remarkable progress in the battle in Luer, landing in Daqi and sending 50,000 troops ashore in one day, including 10,000 troops under the command of Ding Wei, who, with the cooperation of about 100 Sherman M4 tanks sent ashore, annihilated the defenders of Daqi beachhead, took nearly 10 kilometers in depth of the beachhead, and began a large-scale landing operation.
Up to 600,000 troops began to land through this open gap.
The forward continued to advance, and a day later they divided up and captured several surrounding towns, such as Zengyu, Hefu, Luya, and Kushima, ensuring the safety of the flank of the landing force.
The Allied landings on the northern and southern lines of Kyushu were all successful so far.
...
Thrush.
"Your Excellency Suzuki, is there still no new information on the Allied side?" The Kido minister's eye sockets are deep-set, and the two dark circles under his eyes are already comparable to the smoky makeup of later generations.
Obviously, the attitude of the Allies bothered him so much that he even began to panic a little.
None of the news reported by Kyushu was comforting good news.
The defenders of Kitakyushu have even been crippled.
It's only been a few days, and if it continues at this rate, the entire territory will fall in a few months.
The slogan of 100 million pieces of jade crushed by the military department and the death of the allies now seems to be a joke.
"Kido-kun, we are actively trying to find a way for the allies to talk, the second wave of envoys has arrived in Kyushu, and I believe there will be new news soon." Suzuki Shousuke is also emaciated.
He hasn't had a good rest these days. Internal and external troubles emerge one after another. Kenji Hatanaka's rebellion did not succeed, but it already made them feel a deep fear.
As a result, there is no trust in the military department at all. Now apart from the Navy's own people and Tanaka Shinichi Eastern Army, the other army units they don't dare to believe who they are.
"What does Your Majesty Tian Huang think of the current situation?" Shousuke Suzuki rubbed the corners of his eyes and asked in a tired voice.
"Your Majesty is very worried about the future of the Empire, if the negotiations are inconclusive, and the Empire is completely captured by force, I am afraid there will be no future." Kido said worriedly.
He was not wrong.
In this catastrophe of the eastern human race, no little devil is innocent, and in terms of liquidating responsibility, the root is still in the high-level in front.
This war has progressed to the present day. Win the battle
There is no hope at all, and a full-blown rout is only a matter of time.
[In view of the general environment,
As long as it is a normal person, such a conclusion will be drawn.
"In order to avoid the worst-case scenario, I will personally go to the Allied headquarters to negotiate if necessary." Hearing this answer, Suzuki Shousuke slowly raised his head, "Kido-kun, if that time comes, please be sure to help our peace negotiation faction control the situation in Tsukiyo, so as not to let the Shaozhuang faction succeed and act rashly so rashly that the overall situation collapses beyond control."
Suzuki Shousuke is reminding Kido to pay attention to the suppression of the group of people in the military department, and not let them make waves anymore.
"I will personally interview Your Excellency Tojo, Your Excellency Anan and others, and try to control these young Zhuang factions in the military department. At the stake for the survival of the Empire, I'm sure they'll understand. If you really don't listen to the greetings, I think—" Kido didn't continue the conversation.
But Suzuki Shousuke already knew Kido's determination, or rather, the determination of His Majesty Tian Huang.
At this juncture, if there is one person who is able to control the development of the whole situation. Then that's the only one left.
Suzuki Shousuke nodded, indicating that he understood Kido's thoughts.
"If that's the case, we're going to redeploy the defense of Tsukyo like this," Suzuki Shousuke further clarified the purpose of the day.
According to the results of his discussions with Mine and others, the Special Marine Corps was transferred to Oujing, and the security and defense of the Imperial Palace and the principal officials of the Lordship and faction were strengthened in all aspects.
Nearly 100,000 Special Marines and the two major guards forces of the Guards Division and the Eastern Army under the control of Tanaka Shinichi defended the Bulkyo Arch tightly.
Lieutenant General Tanaka Shinichi is Tian Huang's hardcore confidant, and his loyalty does not need to be doubted.
"Well, everything is according to Suzuki's decision, Your Excellency Suzuki is the minister in charge personally appointed by Tian Huang, and I believe that he will find a way to survive for the empire." Kido has no other hope now.
Except for one way to follow Suzuki Shousuke to negotiate the surrender, as long as His Majesty Tian Huang and the current basic system are kept, all the sacrifices are worth it.
...
Shimonoseki Fortress.
"Blow up the dogs." Lu Xingguo, who was piloting the SB2C dive bomber in the air to search for the target, was looking for the next bombing fire point with unprecedented excitement.
After the joint operations of the two heavens, sea, land, and air forces, Gao Jianwu commanded the fleet's heavy artillery to solve most of the little devil's air defense positions, while the air force began to use 500-pound aerial bombs to clear the fortress artillery by name.
Compared to the 203 mm naval gun, the SB2C can carry 1,000 pounds of heavy aerial bombs, and under such a huge bomb, almost no fortress can withstand it.
Although the little devil Shimonoseki fortress uses a large number of reinforced concrete batteries, it is also useless.
One went down to scrap a fort without discussion.
From the beginning of Gao Jianwu's decision to attack the fortress, he negotiated with General Smith and selected 12 SB2C dive bombers from the Allied fleet to Lu Xingguo and their elite pilots to work together to attack the fort!
In two days, Lu Xingguo took these 12 SB2C bombers to complete more than 100 bombing sorties, and almost destroyed the shore artillery of the little devil in Xiaguan Fortress.
In this way, the seven or eight shore artillery brigades of the little devils were destroyed in the hands of Lu Xingguo's bomber flying team, allowing Li Yunlong to easily take over the Xiaguan fortress, thus firmly controlling the reinforcement channel from the little devil's mainland to Kyushu, as well as the port of Kitakyushu.
Let Kong Jie's transport brigade do its own thing unimpeded.
At this time, Gao Jianwu asked the army to go all the way along the northern part of Kitakyushu, all the way in the direction of Kumamoto, and began to seize the strategy of Kyushu.
The brigade commander led the T-59 tank attack group, and Gao Jianwu used the fleet to follow Li Yunlong, and used the T-34 and Sherman M4 to bulldoze the little devils along the coast of Kitakyushu, and fought all the way from Shangmao to Zuobo and Yangang.
There are no obstacles along the way
Under the naval artillery that is, justice, there are few intact positions and corpses left of the little devils who defend in these places.
On the allied side, the allied forces of up to 500,000 were still engaged in a tug-of-war in the face of Kagoshima and Satsuma, but the 100,000 Ryukyu Expeditionary Force led by Chu Yunfei and Ding Wei defeated Miyazaki and Kijo all the way, and is now preparing to join forces with Gao Jianwu and Li Yunlong.
For Smith and Steven, such a result was expected by them, and they were witnesses to history in the Southern Theater and the Ryukyu Theater anyway.
So it is not surprising, but the Allied troops who had just been transferred to Kyushu from other battlefields, after hearing the battle report, first did not believe it one by one, and waited for the headquarters to refute the rumors about the battle results, the Allied war reporters released the actual combat pictures of the T-59 battlefield and the battle results data sent by the fleet commanded by Gao Jianwu, and they all fell silent directly.
Now that all these pictures and results were made by the Allies themselves, there was no possibility of adulteration at all, and these arrogant generals had just woken up from a dream, and it turned out that they had also become frogs at the bottom of the well.
Especially the T-59's almost invincible armor and terrifying 105mm tank main gun, whether it is 1000 meters or 1500 meters, the ability to destroy when it hits the target is the strongest land monster in this era!
Seeing that the little devil Type 97 tank was as fragile as a paper lake in front of the T-59, those commanders of the Allied forces understood that even their main tank, the Sherman M4, would have almost the same result.
I'm afraid that only Delman's Tiger tank can be restrained a little.
On Kyushu Island, almost half of the pretending operations planned by Gao Jianwu were successful, but because the T-59 tank and Gao Jianwu himself performed too well, the light weapons of the infantry were completely obscured.
Even Gao Jianwu occupied nearly two-thirds of the stronghold on Kyushu Island, and for the Allied side, what they remembered was the T-59 tank and the slightly sharper 107 rocket launcher.
Simple to the extreme, powerful to exaggerate firepower, the 107 rocket launcher has also become a powerful weapon in the eyes of Allied observers.
In particular, this weapon is comparable to the maneuverability of mountain artillery in mountainous areas, as well as its strong terrain adaptability, and flexible and configurable firepower, all of which prove that this is an excellent mountain combat firepower.
In addition to Gao Jianwu's naval artillery support and air force bombing, the T-59 tank and 107 rocket artillery were the strongest.
Because Gao Jianwu deliberately wanted to impress the allies this time, he moved the entire tank logistics and maintenance team of the factory to ensure that Sun Desheng's T-59 tank attack group had a very high proper rate.
This terrible rate of survival and security on the battlefield once again shocked the Allied observers.
Because this shows several facts behind it that cannot be ignored, that is, it shows that the design maturity and production quality of the T-59 tank have reached a very high level, indicating that the heavy industry base behind it has a world-class level.
The land warfare weapons of the Chinese people have fully evolved from relying on battlefield capture and overseas support to the level of self-sufficiency.
In just a few years, they have made such great progress, which makes people have to admire the amazing learning ability and creative ability of Chinese people.
Because the Allied technicians saw a lot of shadows from the T-59 from the T-34.
But the T-59 has completely surpassed the limitations of the T-34, and in every way it is a generational progress!
It can be said that the T-59 and 107 rocket launchers, as well as the eye-catching performance of the expeditionary force, completely reversed the inherent impression of the Allies on the Eighth Road, and now began to regard the Eighth Route as an elite force that could be countered by the Allies.
The reason for this conclusion is that the Allies only dared to say that they had combined the strength of the air force and navy, otherwise they would no longer be an opponent with the army alone.
But on the Allied side, there is now the most powerful navy and air force of Blue Star!
Numerous battles have proven that even the army is then the elite, facing the superiority of the air force and navy, several
There is no battle that can be won by the army alone!
Gao Jianwu commanded a detachment by himself, far better than an artillery division! Although this advantage cannot be replicated, it also shows that the navy does have an incomparable advantage when it is fighting in coordination, especially on the islands.
Because of this, the Grand Brigade Commander naturally entered the Allied Western Pacific Command, and now has become one of the top leaders of the Allied General Command, and began to plan for the next attack on the Little Devil's Main Island.
But this time, Suzuki Shousuke was ahead of time, and when the Allies once again refused the little devil's conditional negotiations, Suzuki Shousuke, with the support of the Admiralty, secretly took a submarine to find the Allied headquarters and began formal surrender negotiations between the two sides!
Faced with the little devil hurriedly sent to the door to prepare to surrender, Gao Jianwu was a little helpless, the explosion was not affected, but it was inconvenient to rub oil.
In the Kyushu Battle just past, the new explosive equipment that contributed 400,000 little devils was converted into resources at almost the top level, and it was tens of thousands of tons of rare metals.
The key is that there is another business without capital on the road, and only here is the focus on a steel plant and a shipyard, which is not without a small supplement to Gao Jianwu's great cause of construction, and if this kind of business can be fought all the way to Beijing, I am afraid that it will have to add dozens of millions of tons of new production capacity.
Heavy industry must have made up for a lot of blood, and it is possible that the steel production capacity will explode by seven or eight million tons, and shipbuilding will at least be able to make up for the shortcomings from destroyers to battleships.
However, if the little devil surrenders, it will not be bad, and according to the principle of system bonus, it will also be exploded.
I just don't know if there are any other rewards for the system if the little devil surrenders this time.
Guarding Kitakyushu and watching Kong Jie busy moving like a little bee, Gao Jianwu had a strange feeling, that is, at the upcoming historical moment, maybe there would be some surprises!
