Chapter 489(1/2)
Crazy
Amidst the rapid footsteps, Colonel Ozawa Tomiichiro, the chief of staff of the Ninghu Condemnation Army, had already walked in with a solemn expression. He immediately put his feet back and stood at attention and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, there is an urgent call from Taiwan. More than 20 people stationed at Songshan Airport
A B-17 Flying Fortress bomber has already taken off, along with more than a hundred P-51 Mustang fighter jets."
"What!?" Tomohiro Tetsuda suddenly became confused when he heard this, "The B-17 bombers took off?"
"Hai." Colonel Ozawa suddenly lowered his head and said, "It seems that the Chinese Army will start attacking early this morning."
Tomo Tomo took a deep breath and asked in a faint tone: "Ozawa-kun, do you think the imperial army can hold on?"
Osawa Ozawa remained silent. In fact, this question did not need to be answered at all. As early as half a month ago, the staff of the Condemned Army had already conducted a comprehensive war game. Even the most optimistic estimate was that the Emperor of Japan
The army is determined not to be able to hold Shanghai, and its defeat in Nanjing can be said to be an inevitable outcome. The only suspense is how many days it can last?
In fact, Tomoya Tetsuda only asked subconsciously, not because he was not clear about the situation.
After a while, Tomo Tomo's eyes gradually revealed a ferocious look. He turned back to Colonel Ozawa and said, "Ozawa-kun, how are you preparing for the things I asked you to prepare?"
Colonel Ozawa said solemnly: "Commander, are you sure you want to do this?"
Teng Tianzhi asked in a ferocious voice: "Ozawa-kun, do you have any better ideas?"
"Your Excellency, Commander, please carefully consider the consequences of this matter." Osawa Ozawa fearlessly met Tomo Tomo's ferocious eyes and said solemnly, "Even if we tie all the Chinese people in Shanghai to the shore defense position,
, it will never be able to stop the advance of the Chinese army, but will only completely anger them, in case..."
Colonel Ozawa said this, and then said: "What I mean is that if, if the empire is finally defeated, the China Army, which has been completely enraged, will definitely vent its resentment and anger on the people of the empire. By then, the empire will be afraid that
Rivers of blood will flow, and millions of Yamato people will die because of our barbaric acts!"
"Baga! Baga Garu!" Tomo Tomo was furious. He slapped Osawa Ozawa twice with his bow, and then roared extremely fiercely, "The empire will never be defeated. How can the Japanese Empire be defeated?"
Lost to the Chinese? Yours, do as I say immediately, but if there is a mistake, you will die!"
"Hai." Colonel Ozawa lowered his head suddenly, and then left expressionlessly.
Watching Colonel Ozawa's figure go away, Tomo Tomo suddenly drew out his saber and chopped off a corner of the mahogany desk in front of him. Then he laughed ferociously: "China people, humble and ignorant China pigs, Shanghai
It will never be lost, the Imperial Japanese Army will make you pay the price, hahaha..."
Sichuan Shakou, Japanese coastal defense position.
A Japanese soldier was leaning against the trench and humming a Japanese song. The desolate singing sounded far away under the night sky. The Japanese soldiers within a few dozen meters were awakened one after another, and all of them looked gloomy when they listened carefully.
The all-out war between China and Japan has lasted for six full years.
Until now, the elite Japs in the first batch of 17 permanent divisions who served as the vanguard of the invasion of China have long been exhausted. Most of the subsequent replacements are reserve forces, reserve forces or Japanese soldiers recruited from North Korea and Taiwan.
The psychological endurance and bushido spirit of these Japanese soldiers are naturally not comparable to those of the old Japanese soldiers from the previous two years.
As for the current Japanese soldiers, if the war goes well, it is okay, but once the war goes wrong or the situation is unfavorable, the mood of the troops will immediately deteriorate. Since the fall of Taiwan, the Chinese army has gathered in the Zhoushan Islands and sent bombers to bomb the Japanese troops in the Ninghu area every day.
Since the completion of the fortifications, the morale of the Japanese troops in Ninghu has quickly plummeted.
By now, the war-weariness within the Japanese army has become very serious. After all, the little devils are also human beings. If there is still hope of winning the war, they will naturally hope to expand the territory for the empire and make contributions themselves. But now the war
It is obvious that there is no possibility of victory, and not many people want this war to continue.
Unknowingly, the Japanese soldiers in the trenches started singing the most familiar folk song "Sakura" in Japan.
Sakura! Sakura!
In late spring, the sky is about to dawn, the rays of light are dazzling, the clouds are rising in the sky, and the beautiful fragrance is drifting in the wind.
Go see the flowers! Go see the flowers! Go see the flowers early.
Sakura! Sakura!
Under the clear sky in March in spring, cherry blossoms can be seen as far as the eye can see. The flowers are as bright as clouds and clouds, and the fragrance is as beautiful as picturesque.
Come on! Come on! Let’s enjoy the flowers together.
The sad and sad songs drifted farther and farther under the night sky, and more and more Japanese soldiers joined in the chorus.
While singing, many Japanese soldiers began to shed tears, and a few young Japanese soldiers burst into tears. They just kept mumbling "Mom" and "Mom" in their mouths, as if death was already waving to him.
, but he was not mentally prepared to sacrifice his life for His Majesty the Emperor at all...
The louder and louder singing finally alerted the officers who were hiding in the bunker and drinking to relieve their boredom.
A Japanese captain with an eye-catching scar on his face rushed out of the bunker, immediately drew out his saber, and roared murderously: "Stop singing, don't sing! Whoever dares to sing again will be dead!"
"After that, Captain Scar kicked over the little Japanese soldier who was close to him and was crying hard.
The little Japanese soldier who was kicked to the ground did not realize it, but he still sang "Sakura" crazily.
Captain Scar was furious, and when he was about to kill the little Japanese soldier with a knife, there was suddenly a faint roar of an engine on the sea in the distance, and Captain Scar's heart suddenly shivered. This old Japanese soldier had participated in many wars.
Just by hearing this sound, he was sure that a large-tonnage Allied warship was approaching!
"Baga!" Captain Scar quickly sheathed his sword, pulled out the tortoise box and fired two shots at the sky.
While the Japanese soldiers nearby were dumbfounded, Captain Scar shouted angrily: "Allied warships, allied warships are approaching, go back quickly, hurry up..."
Before he finished speaking, a series of loud noises suddenly erupted on the ocean in the distance.
Captain Scar looked back in shock, and saw that the sky was full of fireworks already blooming on the eastern ocean. Countless colorful lights were roaring towards the Japanese shore defense position at Sichuan Shakou with the din of the sky. Captain Scar's throat
He twitched lowly, and in the blink of an eye, he fell upside down and fell into the trench behind him.
Many Japanese soldiers who had been on the battlefield hid in the trenches and crawled into the artillery holes.
However, more Japanese soldiers who had never been on the battlefield or had never really fought against the Chinese army were still standing blankly on the edge of the trench, stupidly looking at the gorgeous light coming from the distant sky.
Cai, many Japanese soldiers are almost fifty years old, but they have never seen such gorgeous fireworks blooming.
"Boom..." The first fireworks finally landed on the shore defense position and exploded immediately.
Immediately after the explosion, a huge hole was left in front of the trench, with a diameter of ten or twenty meters. A dozen Japanese soldiers were directly hit by the fireworks and were instantly thrown into the air by the huge air wave. They immediately disintegrated in the air and turned into blood all over the sky.
The pieces of meat were scattered all over the floor, and I'm afraid I couldn't even put them together on my fingers.
Isn't it child's play to fire salvos from the main guns of battleships and cruisers? A one-ton or two-ton armor-piercing projectile with a speed of 7,800 meters per second will be destroyed, no matter how strong the shore defenses are! At this moment, the Japanese hiding in the shore defenses
The soldiers could only pray to Amaterasu, praying that the fortifications where they were hiding would not be directly hit by Allied naval guns.
The naval bombardment lasted for less than half an hour, and the eastern sky gradually became brighter.
At this time, a group of bombers and fighter jets taking off from Taipei Songshan Airport also arrived, and immediately launched an indiscriminate bombing of the Japanese shore defenses in Chuanshakou, Shizilin and Zhanghuabin areas. Dozens of Zero fighter jets risked their lives.
He took off and tried to hunt down the Allied bombers, but was instantly overwhelmed by the escorting Mustang fleet.
A small number of Japanese anti-aircraft guns deployed deep in the position fired desperately, but failed to shoot down any Allied bombers. Instead, they attracted dozens of Mustang fighter jets carrying rockets. They swooped down several times, and dozens of Japanese anti-aircraft guns deployed in the deep position were fired.
The Japanese anti-aircraft guns were basically wiped out.
After about half an hour, the sky finally became completely bright.
The infantrymen who had been waiting for a long time began to climb down the ladder and board the transport boat. The U.S. Navy's naval guns began to conduct extended shelling on the Japanese army's deep positions. The B-17 bomber group also began to return. Only a small number of P-51 Mustang fighter jets remained in the battle.
The airspace continues to be alerted, waiting for the arrival of the second batch of supporting air forces.
In less than ten minutes, hundreds of medium and small transport boats had approached the beachhead.
The Japanese army's few combat artillery firepower failed to cause much trouble to the national army's transport boats.
At this time, the level of the Japanese soldiers, whether they were front-line infantry or second-line artillery, armored, aviation and other technical arms, had seriously declined. However, the Chinese Air Force was thriving in actual combat. Basically, the remaining Japanese combat and artillery attacks
In less than two shots, he was killed by the roaring Mustang fighter jets with rocket launchers.
Encountering almost no decent resistance, more than 2,000 infantrymen and more than 20 tanks of the first attack echelon rushed to the beachhead. At this time, the Japanese soldiers who had been stunned by the bombing finally climbed out of the underground bunker.
They began to use machine gun fire to block the Chinese army, and the brutal beach landing battle officially began.
Although the quality of the Japanese army has seriously declined and morale is very low, the strong coastal defenses built by Okamura Neji during his tenure still caused great damage to the Japanese army. At nearly noon, the first attack echelon finally
They gained a firm foothold on the beach, but they also paid a heavy price with more than half of them killed and injured.
Off the coast of Wusongkou, the USS Iowa.
Major General Chi Chengfeng, commander of the 33rd Division of the 3rd Group Army of the Fourth Field Army, was standing on the deck watching the battle with a telescope.
Originally, Liu Yi had decided to let Li Yulong's 31st Division be the main offensive, but Chi Chengfeng insisted on taking away the honor of "main attack" from the 31st Division, and even made a big fuss at the Army Headquarters, acting like a rogue.
, Liu Yi couldn't defeat him, so he had to wrong Li Yulong and gave Chi Chengfeng's 33rd Division the task of attacking Shanghai.
Amidst the rapid footsteps, Zhou Mantian, chief of staff of the 33rd Division, strode over: "Divisional seat, the 3rd Battalion of the 97th Regiment has taken the lead in breaking through the shore defenses at Chuanshakou, and the follow-up engineering regiment is repairing the beachhead.
The second echelon of the 98th Regiment, the Armored Regiment and the Artillery Regiment are about to go ashore."
"Okay!" Chi Chengfeng said harshly, "Grandma, this little devil is dead!"
Chi Chengfeng is not bragging. As long as the artillery regiment and armored regiment of the 33rd Division are ashore, the Japanese army will never be able to drive the Chinese army into the sea. With the current equipment and firepower configuration of the Japanese army, they are not on the same level as the 33rd Division.
In terms of level, to be exaggerated, the firepower of a battalion of the 33rd Division is now almost equivalent to that of a mixed brigade of the Japanese army.
Of course, the equipment and firepower of the Japanese troops in the Far East are another matter. That is another matter.
After saying that, Chi Chengfeng put down the telescope again and said with great emotion: "Six years, six full years, I finally came back!" Before he finished speaking, Chi Chengfeng knelt down on the deck again and raised his voice.
He raised his hand to the sky and roared, "Camp seat, where is the camp seat, have you seen it? Our battalion has come back to fight again, and we are going to avenge you and your dead brothers!"
Vaguely, Chi Chengfeng's eyes flashed back to the scene when Yao Changqing's battalion had just entered Baoshan County.
To be continued...
