As soon as he entered the combat hall, Yue Weihan saw Chi Chengfeng hiding in the crowd.
There was nothing I could do about it. The cauldron on Chi Chengfeng's back was so eye-catching. You could smell the soot from the bottom of the pot from a distance of more than ten meters. Seeing this, Yue Weihan couldn't help but smile slightly.
He raised his eyebrows, and then felt a little sad. This stupid big black man had taken the blame for him, otherwise he would have been promoted to lieutenant general by now.
When Yue Weihan saw this, the dozen combat staff officers nearby quickly dispersed.
Chi Chengfeng had nowhere to hide, so he came to Yue Weihan in a somewhat embarrassed manner, and gave a military salute like a human being.
The corner of Yue Weihan's mouth twitched twice again, and then he said with a cold face: "Why don't you go to the airport? It seems that you are quite resentful?"
"How dare you?" Chi Chengfeng curled his lips.
"How dare you?" Yue Weihan said coldly, "This is the headquarters' operations hall, and it's not a field march. Why are you carrying this thing on your back? Do you know that I'm coming today and are you trying to be mean?"
"Isn't there nothing I can do?" Chi Chengfeng shook his head and sighed, "Who made you the commander-in-chief? If you let me take the blame, I, Lao Chi, will have to bear the blame." The senior generals and combat advisers around him suddenly stood up.
The expressions varied. Considering Yue Weihan's outstanding military exploits and status in the military, only Chi Chengfeng dared to say this.
Chi Chengfeng's words contained a gun and a stick, but Yue Weihan was not angry. He said angrily: "Okay, okay, quickly unload this piece of shit. Doesn't it show that Chi Chengfeng is capable? Looking at ancient and modern times, at home and abroad,
I think you, Chi Chengfeng, are the only cook who can carry a marching cauldron into the combat hall, huh."
Only then did Chi Chengfeng reluctantly unload the marching pot.
Yue Weihan said to Liu Yi again: "Please introduce the war situation in North China."
"Yes." Liu Yi snapped the military salute, then took the command pole from the combat staff, followed Yue Weihan and strode to the simulated sand table, then pointed at the sand table and explained, "Currently, the Japanese army in North China has been divided
Surrounded by Peking, Tianjin, Baoding, Shimen, Jinan, Handan, Zhengzhou, Xuzhou, Kaifeng and other cities."
"Our group army is responsible for the war in Peiping and Tianjin. Peiping is the headquarters of the North China Front Army and the focus of the Japanese defense in North China. Nearly 150,000 people are stationed in 8 divisions! Our group army launched a general offensive yesterday morning and has now controlled most of the area.
In the urban area, the remnants of the Japanese army have been compressed to the vicinity of the inner city, but the resistance of the Japanese army is very tenacious."
"Furthermore, due to the narrowing of the defense range, our army's heavy artillery group and bomber group can no longer function effectively in order to avoid accidental damage. However, the Japanese army's troops and equipment are highly concentrated. Starting from early this morning, our group army has organized six consecutive
The desperate assault failed to break through the Japanese army’s last line of defense.”
After listening to Liu Yi's introduction to the war situation, Yue Weihan couldn't help but frown.
At just this moment, a communications staff officer hurried into the combat hall and handed a battle report to Liu Yi.
Liu Yi hurriedly read the telegram, and his expression suddenly changed. Seeing Liu Yi's expression was different, the senior generals and combat staff in the combat hall suddenly became nervous.
Although Yue Weihan did not look back, he clearly felt the change in the atmosphere in the hall and asked: "What's going on?"
Liu Yi took a deep breath and stepped forward to report: "Immediate battle report, the Kwantung Army suddenly went south out of western Liaoning and broke through the four lines of defense of the 10th Group Army within 24 hours.
Most of the four first-class main divisions deployed by the group army in the Liaoxi Corridor were wiped out, and Shanhaiguan was lost."
Suddenly there was a sound of inhalation in the combat hall.
The generals and staff present were shocked by the Kwantung Army's powerful strength, and were even more worried about the evolution of the next battle!
No one thought that a partial division of the Kwantung Army could actually defeat the four first-class main divisions of the 10th Army of Ichino in just 24 hours. Although the 10th Army was not the ace elite of Ichino, it was still a regular army after all.
Ah, four main divisions with more than 60,000 people were actually wiped out in less than a day!
Many combat staff officers even turned pale. Shanhaiguan was lost, and the Liaoxi Corridor was already open.
If nothing else goes wrong, the mechanized heavy groups of the Kwantung Army may have passed through Shanhaiguan and entered the North China Plain in large numbers, right? At this time, the Japanese troops in Beiping City are still resisting stubbornly, and at least there is no hope of clearing out the remaining Japanese troops in the short term.
Hopefully, the 3rd Army will probably fall into the dilemma of being attacked from both sides.
"Don't worry, everyone, the Kwantung Army doesn't dare to enter the pass yet!" Yue Weihan waved his hand and said to Liu Yi, "You should think carefully about how to eliminate the remnants of the Japanese army in Beiping City as soon as possible. However, although the Kwantung Army does not dare to enter the pass yet,
Entering the customs, but there won’t be much time left for you. The battle must be ended within 24 hours.”
Fengtian, Kwantung Army Headquarters.
Tamura Yoshifuki hurriedly walked into Umezu Yoshijiro's office, and immediately stood upright and said: "Your Excellency, General, frontline battle report, the First Front Army has continuously broken through the four lines of defense of the China Army, and the four lines of defense deployed by Zoro in western Liaoning are
The China Infantry Division was basically wiped out, and in the face of the powerful offensive of the Imperial Army, the China Army abandoned Shanhaiguan and fled without a fight!"
"Okay!" Umezu Yoshijiro punched the big table with his fist and said excitedly, "This time, the China Army should know how powerful our Kwantung Army is!"
Tamura Yoshitomi was also very excited.
Speaking of which, since the outbreak of the Burmese War, the Japanese Imperial Army has been suffering defeats. Burma was defeated, Luzon was defeated, the Malay Peninsula was defeated, Singapore was defeated, Taiwan was defeated, Shanghai was defeated, Qingdao was defeated, and now even the entire North China is about to be defeated.
, but this time, the Kwantung Army finally won a great victory.
Then Tamura Yoshitomi said: "General, have you ordered the First Front Army to march into the pass?"
"This..." Although Umezu Yoshijiro was happy, he was not dazzled by the victory. He immediately said, "Let's wait until Okamura-kun arrives." Okamura Neiji was returning to Manchuria via Russia, and the Japanese base camp had just appointed Okamura Neiji.
As deputy commander-in-chief of the Kwantung General Army, Tojo finally recognized Okamura Neji's ability and vision.
After thinking for a while, Umezu Yoshijiro said to Tamura Yoshitomi: "Tamura-kun, immediately call the North China Front Army and tell them that the Kwantung Army forwards have captured Shanhaiguan and annihilated 100,000 people of the China Army outside the Kwantung Pass. Within a few days, the main force of our Kwantung Army will be
You can also send troops into the pass and let them hold on for another three to five days no matter what!"
"Hai!" Tamura Yoshitomi suddenly lowered his head and immediately took the order.
Beiping, Iron Lion Alley
In the dark basement, General Hata Shunroku slapped the woman's willow-like waist with his left hand. The whole underground air was filled with a blood-curdling smell of lust.
After half a cup of tea, Shunroku Hata howled like a wild beast.
No one noticed that Shunroku Hata's face showed a sickly flush, and his short and thin body suddenly became full of vitality. Human beings are very strange animals. When facing desperate situations, they can always
To stimulate the potential, it seems that the vitality hidden in the body will be squandered in a limited time.
Although the remnants of the Japanese army in Peking City are still putting up a desperate resistance, and although the Kwantung Army has just sent a telegram claiming to have captured Shanhaiguan, Shunroku Hata knows that the time left by Amaterasu is running out for him. He is now
He no longer cares about the street fighting in the inner city of Peiping, and the street fighting does not require his command.
Now, besides women, what fills Shunroku Hata's mind is women!
With a single order, Shunroku Hata gathered a dozen of the most beautiful female secretaries in the headquarters, as well as a dozen lovely female military doctors from the field hospital, to his underground headquarters. He wanted to taste everything before he died.
He took the bodies of dozens of women, then killed all these beautiful women, and finally committed suicide by kneeling in front of the portrait of the emperor.
Hata Jun is in his sixties and fifties and is no longer young, but in the past few days, he has been more excited than an eighteen-year-old boy!
On the ground, the street fighting in the inner city of Peiping has entered its final moments.
In order to clear out the remnants of the stubbornly resisting Japanese army as quickly as possible, Liu Yi finally used his last "killer weapon" and used mortars and small-caliber howitzers to launch tens of thousands of gasoline and incendiary bombs into the inner city of Peking.
The Imperial City had already been reduced to rubble by heavy artillery and bomber groups, and now it was burned into a pile of rubble.
Along with the inner city and the imperial city, there were 70,000 to 80,000 Japanese soldiers who stubbornly resisted.
Hundreds of thousands of family members of Japanese soldiers and Japanese expatriates were not spared, and followed Amaterasu to heaven to serve them.
The fire burned fiercely for more than ten hours before it began to slowly subside. When the Nationalist officers and soldiers of the special warfare division, wearing gas masks, stepped into the inner city of Peiping again, they could no longer see any intact houses.
Everything was pitch black, there were piles of hot rubble everywhere, and there were charred corpses everywhere, it was a hell on earth.
According to unofficial records, the city of Beiping a few decades later was still full of yin even under the bright sun. The temperature in the inner city was actually several degrees lower than that in the suburbs. There was a "powerful man" who was proficient in the metaphysics of yin and yang.
After surveying the inner city and the old site of the imperial city with a compass, the scholar said that there were too many innocent souls of the Japanese army gathered here, and the evil spirit was too strong, that's why it happened like this.
