Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The words of Colonel Fukuzawa, the new commander of the Kwantung Army's First Corps, were no joke. They were very intimidating. The Manchurian soldiers around him were so silent at that time that they jumped up and ran away. This guy not only killed  The Manchurian soldiers showed no mercy, even to their own compatriots. A squad leader, who was a purebred Japanese, was just a few minutes slow in executing an order. As a result, the captain was killed.  It collapsed with one shot!

    Well, after seeing the ferocious Manchurian soldiers of the Japanese, how could I dare to complain at all? I didn't even dare to hesitate. Slow down a little, and the horse whip comes up. It's good, it doesn't open your eyes, and it's waiting to be eaten.  Gunzi, even though I was scolding my eight generations of ancestors as little devils, my legs felt like wind. I was running all the way. I might not be tired from running, but if I didn¡¯t run, I would definitely become a dead person. There were more than 90,000 people, and there were many roads.  Drive in, stir up the dust in the sky, and come in the direction of Anton!

    Menacing but not necessarily murderous, the newly formed First Corps and Second Corps of the Kwantung Army, with Manchurian soldiers as the main body, lack most of all the fighting will of the Imperial Japanese Army soldiers who are not afraid of death.  The commander, General Yoshijiro Umezu, knew this very well. Therefore, in his heart, he had no sympathy for these more than 90,000 cannon fodder. Otherwise, he would not have issued strict orders one after another, without even giving him time to breathe.  !

    The same is true for the First Corps, and the same is true for the Second Corps behind it. A total of 256,000 cannon fodder can be used. General Umezu Yoshijiro's plan is to use the numerical advantage to pile death across the Yalu River.  The extremely threatening independent division, if the Kwantung Army's First Corps and Second Corps, would be destroyed at the cost of the entire army.  If he severely damages or even annihilates most of the independent division troops, he will definitely be happy and excited!

    Therefore, in his order to the two captains, in addition to marching desperately, he also specifically mentioned the attack on Anton.  The tactics used by the newly formed First Corps and Second Corps must be the tradition of the Imperial Japanese Army - hand-to-hand charge!  Use a crowd tactic!

    General Meijin would not feel sorry for the death of more than 200,000 Manchurian Japanese soldiers.  In other words, although the Manchurian Japanese soldiers were nominally allies of the Kwantung Army, in their hearts they were.  Still Chinese.  Let the Chinese people fight each other to gain a breathing space for themselves and the Kwantung Army. This is what he likes to see, and he is even more willing to use harsh methods to do it!

    The newly formed First Corps of the Kwantung Army, which had all its hopes pinned on General Umezu Yoshijiro, had more than 90,000 people. They marched in from multiple routes. Under the threat of Japanese officers' whips and pistols, the troops marched extremely fast. Umezu Yoshijiro, who was stationed in Liaoyang,  general.  Continuously received reports from the commander-in-chief, Colonel Fukuzawa, "So far, the troops have advanced smoothly, and there has been no obstruction by the independent division troops along the way. The headquarters can reach the attack location designated by the commander-in-chief's order on time!"

    After Colonel Fukuzawa finally reported the situation to the Kwantung Army headquarters, less than twenty minutes later, the independent division aviation bomber group and fighter group appeared in the sky like dark clouds!

    Bombers roared and dived, countless bombs poured down like raindrops from the sky, fighter jets shuttled back and forth, and the airborne machine guns screamed "clack!" incessantly, covering more than 90,000 people in the newly formed First Corps of the Kwantung Army.  Amidst the hail of death bullets!

    With flashes of fire, clouds of gunpowder smoke, and shrapnel flying, the Manchurian soldiers were completely exposed to the metal storm. They were exposed to the blows from the air without any protection. The soldiers' broken limbs, broken arms, broken flesh, and blood were scattered everywhere.  , even though the Japanese officers cursed fiercely and shot the panicked soldiers mercilessly, they could not stop the troops from causing chaos!

    Captain Fukuzawa hid under a rock, looking with a pale face at the bombs whizzing down from the sky, and at the independent division planes raining bullets in the sky. With trembling lips, he ordered the radio soldiers to immediately report to Commander Umezu Yoshijiro.  The commander sent a telegram to report the situation encountered by the First Corps, "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, our Corps was suddenly attacked by independent division bombers and fighter jets on its way to Anton!"

    "The density of enemy bombings has never been seen before. Now, the army's advance is blocked across the board and there are heavy casualties. The staff department implores the Commander-in-Chief to allow our troops to avoid air attacks before advancing. Otherwise, the First Corps will inevitably suffer casualties due to excessive casualties.  It is too big and loses its combat effectiveness, let alone the ability to attack Anton!"

    After receiving the urgent telegram from Colonel Fukuzawa, General Umezu Yoshijiro's face turned pale, and the corners of his mouth twitched violently, "It's the damn Independent Division aviation again! These damn China pilots always appear in the most critical places!" He murmured to himself  As he spoke, his heart was almost filled with anger, hatred and helplessness.

    The independent division aviation, this group of murderers who massacred the soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Empire, shrouded the mind of Umezu Yoshijiro like a nightmare. The hardships he suffered and the losses he suffered made him both resentful and helpless. Previously, he had lost all of the Kwantung Army's 1st Air Force.  , this account, the base camp armyThe Air Force has not yet had time to settle matters with itself.

    Perhaps it was because the war situation in Manchuria was critical and they needed to turn the tide on their own. The senior management of the base camp understood this. Surprisingly, there was no telegram to deal with such a huge loss to the aviation team. Only in this way did General Umezu Yoshijiro feel even more unconvinced, even if he was scolding.  Or being demoted or demoted, these are all expected. After all, in his own hands, he lost more than a thousand combat aircraft of the empire!

    But the base camp had no attitude, and General Umezu Yoshijiro felt uneasy. He knew that this matter could not be revealed quietly. The calm on the surface heralded a bigger storm. Perhaps, after the war situation in Manchuria was stabilized, the storm would come.  When?

    "This is what the Chinese people say, 'Is it necessary to kill the donkey?'" General Umezu Yoshijiro thought with bitterness in his heart more than once.

    Now, the damn independent division aviation has come to destroy his last trump card. General Umezu Yoshijiro holds his head in his hands, gritting his teeth, his eyes gleaming with fierceness. He hates and is crazy but has no emotion.  There is no way, no ability to change the current situation. The sky in Manchuria is dominated by the independent division aviation.

    Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Matsuda reminded: "Commander-in-Chief, the First Corps is facing huge losses. The headquarters should agree to Captain Fukuzawa's request and temporarily avoid air strikes. Otherwise, the plan to attack Anton will be seriously affected.  The impact!" His meaning was obvious. If the new First Corps suffered too many casualties, how could it still have the ability to attack Anton?

    General Umezu Yoshijiro raised his head, his eyes gleaming, and said: "No! The First Corps cannot stop approaching Anton. Matsuda-kun, call Fukuzawa back and request rejection. Your troops must complete the attack on Anton regardless of casualties.  The only purpose is to attack, and any external interference should not shake this decision, otherwise, military law will be engaged!"

    "Also, the Second Corps is ordered to speed up the march. If it encounters an air attack by the independent division aviation, it will also adopt the approach of the First Corps. Regardless of casualties, it must not stop advancing. If it flinches and refuses to go forward, it will be executed on the spot!"

    Chief of Staff Matsuda opened his mouth. He felt that Commander-in-Chief Umezu was a little crazy. Without strong anti-aircraft firepower and no air superiority, more than 200,000 soldiers from the two corps were exposed to broad daylight and endured the madness of the independent division aviation.  What's the difference between bombing and strafing and piles of live targets?  Under such circumstances, even if we rush to the outskirts of Anton, can we still fight?

    Seeing that Chief of Staff Matsuda did not immediately issue the order, but hesitated and hesitated to speak, General Umezu looked at him with a fierce look in his eyes and said in a conspiratorial tone: "Chief of Staff Matsuda, are you doubting my order?"  ?¡±

    Lieutenant General Matsuda was horrified by the Commander-in-Chief's eyes and hurriedly lowered his head, "Commander-in-Chief, the staff don't dare, go immediately to convey your order to the First Corps and the Second Corps!" After that,  He hurried away with sweat on his forehead.

    As soon as Chief of Staff Matsuda left, General Umezu Yoshijiro was so weak that he sat heavily on the chair and muttered to himself: "Matsuda-kun, you still don't understand my intentions. More than 200,000 Manchurian Japanese soldiers have died.  It¡¯s worth it for more than 50,000 imperial soldiers to safely withdraw to Fengtian!¡±

    According to the orders of Liu Cuigang and Le Yiqin, the independent division aviation unit divided eighteen bomber regiments and twelve fighter regiments into three echelons, and successively attacked the newly formed First Corps of the Kwantung Army, which was less than fifty kilometers away from Anton.  The newly formed Second Corps of the Kwantung Army hurriedly arrived and carried out all-round bombing. The bombs hit the ground, blowing up clusters of native flowers. Along the road leading to Andong, Manchurian soldiers were flying with blood and flesh.  !

    The aviation pilots who bombed were all surprised later, "What's going on? Under such intensive bombing, why don't the little devils on the ground take air defense measures? At least, they should find a safer place to hide for a while.  Hide? But these little devils are like idiots. They are brave enough to attack. Are they not afraid of death? "

    The situation discovered by the pilots was immediately reported to Liu Cuigang, who was stationed at Incheon Airport on the Korean Peninsula and commanded the large-scale bombing. Liu Cuigang dismissed it with a cold smile on his lips and said to Chief of Staff Dong Ningxuan: "Not afraid of death? Hum! Give it to the bombers.  The commander of the formation and the fighter formation called back. There is a ready-made target for you to bomb. Why, you can't do it? No, I'll move to the second echelon! "

    The roads leading to Anton were filled with Manchurian soldiers, their broken corpses, the lush green ground, the craters scattered all over, and the mottled bloodstains all showed that the Kwantung Army's newly formed First Corps and the Third  What kind of blow did the Second Corps, with more than 250,000 Manchurian soldiers, suffer!

    The soldiers of the Kwantung Army¡¯s newly formed First Corps, who had been forced to march despite the bullets and bombs falling from the sky, lost more than 20,000 people, and were numb to death, finally arrived.?Longbei, Bianmen and Baoshan line, this place is less than thirty kilometers away from Anton.
