    The reality of the narrow battlefield area in Hokkaido, Japan, also troubled the division's right-wing offensive group. The 650,000-strong force could not be fully deployed on the battlefield. After discussion, Sun Zhenbang and Yuan Jinghao readjusted their troop deployment and assigned the Outer Mongolia Field Corps to  and the North China Field Corps, divided into five echelons. The four brigades of the fifth echelon consolidated and defended the landing site, and the remaining four echelons advanced toward Sapporo in sequence, with each echelon separated by thirty kilometers.

    Yuan Jinghao commanded the 12 mechanized infantry brigades, eight tank brigades and eight artillery brigades of the North China Field Corps. As the vanguard, they launched attacks on Zhixing, Yinweizifu, Tianyan, Asahikawa and other places.

    Yuan Jinghao personally commanded the strength of the three brigades from the First to the Third Brigade of the North China Field Corps, as well as the First and Second Tank Brigades, and the First and Second Artillery Brigades of the Corps, and began to attack in the direction of Asahikawa.

    Among the four targets that must be captured on the way to Sapporo, Asahikawa is the most important target. The other three targets were handed over to the remaining troops. The mechanized troops of more than 50,000 people quickly rushed towards Asahikawa.  go.

    More than four hours later, we arrived at an area less than 100 kilometers away from Asahikawa. The march along the way was unexpectedly smooth. There were no Japanese troops to block the way, and no bridges and roads along the way were attacked.  The destruction was more like a long journey than an emergency march of troops.

    Tens of thousands of troops, thousands of trucks and artillery vehicles, hundreds of tanks and self-propelled artillery, the march stretched out for dozens of kilometers, driving in Hokkaido, sitting in armored command vehicles.  Yuan Jinghao, who kept looking outside the window, didn't think that the little devil didn't notice him.  Besides, this is still on the ground of the little devil.  The unusual tranquility gave him an uneasy feeling inside.

    "Creak!" With a sound, the armored command vehicle braked suddenly. Yuan Jinghao woke up from his thoughts. He looked up and saw the long convoy stopped. He frowned and asked Chief of Staff Han Guangqi: "Chief of Staff, why did the troops stop?"  Come down?"

    "Commander, I will immediately ask the 1st Vanguard Brigade. What happened?" Chief of Staff Han Guangqi replied.

    Before Han Guangqi could make a move, the command vehicle received a call from Song Guotai, commander of the 1st avant-garde brigade, "Report to the commander, our brigade's avant-garde camp encountered a mine, and three vehicles were blown over. More than 40 soldiers were injured or killed.  The road is damaged and the troops are blocked!"

    Yuan Jinghao¡¯s brows furrowed even more and he picked up the phone.  He said very unhappily: "Song Guotai, should you report this trivial matter to the Corps Headquarters? Do your engineers work for a living? Clear mines immediately and repair roads. I'll give you twenty minutes. Open the road to Asahikawa! Also!"  Yes, I will immediately order the 1st Tank Brigade to send mine clearance tanks to assist you!"

    ¡°Order the First Tank Brigade to dispatch demining tanks immediately!¡± He then said to the Chief of Staff, Major General Han Guangqi.

    Waiting is very painful.  Especially during the fast march, Yuan Jinghao looked at his watch.  He jumped out of the armored command vehicle impatiently, and Han Guangqi hurriedly followed.  He reminded: "Commander, let's get back to the car. We are in Japanese territory now, safety first!" As he said this, he ordered the guards to increase their vigilance.

    "Tch! The troops penetrated hundreds of kilometers into Hokkaido, and not even a single figure of the Japs was seen!" Yuan Jinghao looked around and said nonchalantly: "What's wrong with the Japs' territory? What tricks can they pull out?  ?¡±

    As soon as he finished speaking, a gunshot was heard. The bullet flew past Yuan Jinghao's head less than one meter away with a sharp whistling sound. The guards around him reacted very quickly and immediately flew up and threw him to the ground. Then,  There were a few more gunshots, and three of the guards who were on full alert fell. Then, the submachine guns in the hands of the guards fired back, and the gunfire roared like exploding beans.

    "Damn it, you dare to shoot me coldly?" Yuan Jinghao, who was pinned down by the guard, suddenly became furious. After pushing the guard away, he quickly hid next to the armored command vehicle and shouted: "Catch me alive! I  Look what kind of bastard is this?" After years of fighting on the battlefield, he could tell that it was the sound of a Japanese-style 38-meter gun being fired.

    The guards surrounded them and suppressed the attackers with raindrops of bullets from the submachine guns in their hands. A few minutes later, the attackers were brought to Yuan Jinghao. There were three of them, two of them were beaten into holes by submachine gun bullets.  The remaining one, although not dead, was shot several times and only had half his life.

    Yuan Jinghao looked at the attacker and couldn't help but frown. The guy who shot him coldly was wearing casual clothes. He looked like a Japanese at first glance, but he was not very old, only about fifteen or sixteen years old. Don't look at the younger one who was still alive.  , eyes full of fierceness, mouth giggling loudly.

    Yuan Jinghao wasn¡¯t even interested in interrogating him. He pulled out his pistol and shot the guy¡¯s head off with one shot. However, he didn¡¯t have any intention of interrogating him.The slightest excitement was not because I personally killed a young Jaap. I had any psychological barriers. Everyone living in this island country should die. It was because I thought more about it. There was no problem in fighting the Japs regular troops. It was difficult.  It was Japanese armed civilians who were entangled.

    Twenty minutes later, the troops set off again. Yuan Jinghao wanted to get through to Sun Zhenbang and said: "Old man, the situation is not very good! Not a single Japanese soldier was seen, but I was almost shot in the face by Japanese armed civilians. What do you think?  It's a bit like everyone is a soldier. Please remind the following echelons not to suffer from this! "

    Sun Zhenbang¡¯s answer was simple, ¡°Old man, there¡¯s nothing to say, just one word, ¡®Kill!¡¯ The teacher is right, kill until Japanese civilians don¡¯t dare to use black guns!¡±

    The march that followed was even less smooth. We encountered landmines and cold-gun attacks on both sides of the road one after another. There were even several waves of armed civilians launching suicide attacks, causing losses to the troops.

    Yuan Jinghao became impatient and ordered all the demining tanks to clear the road ahead. As for the attackers on both sides of the road, they hit them with artillery shells, blowing them away. As for the human bombs, it was even simpler. As soon as they appeared, they were hit by a burst of machine gun bullets.  In the past, no matter what it was, anyone who tried to get close would be killed without mercy!

    The troops cleared mines and eliminated the attackers all the way. At about five o'clock that afternoon, they finally arrived at the outskirts of Asahikawa. Under the slanting sunlight, Asahikawa City was as quiet as death. Yuan Jinghao and Chief of Staff Han Guangqi, with a large group of staff, climbed up  A mountain peak in the north of Asahikawa, holding up a telescope to observe the situation outside Asahikawa.

    Quiet, absolutely quiet, there is a hint of weirdness in the quiet. Even outside Asahikawa, no fortifications can be seen. According to normal circumstances, Asahikawa is an important passage to Sapporo. The Japanese army should be heavily defended, but now it seems  Come, it's like an undefended city.

    Yuan Jinghao rubbed his temples, looked at Chief of Staff Han Guangqi and said, "Guangqi, what do you think?"

    Han Guangqi thought for a while and replied: "Commander, judging from the situation of the troops marching along the way, I am afraid that there are no Japanese troops defending Asahikawa City. Of course, the little devils cannot give up Asahikawa. I am afraid it is you who said that all the people should be soldiers!"  "

    "Order, the First Tank Brigade sends a regiment to cover a regiment of Song Guotai Brigade and launch a tentative attack on Asahikawa!" Yuan Jinghao gritted his teeth and said: "I want to see what tricks the little devil is playing? Attacking troops  Contact the Corps directly!¡±

    More than thirty minutes later, a report came from the walkie-talkie, "Commander, I am Liu Changshui, commander of the third regiment of the 1st Tank Brigade. The troops passed through the outskirts of Asahikawa unimpeded without any resistance from the Japanese army. Now the troops have  Entering the northern city of Asahikawa, the streets are empty and there are no barricades!¡±

    "Empty city?" Yuan Jinghao thought in confusion. At this moment, a violent explosion came from the walkie-talkie. He suddenly became nervous and asked loudly: "Liu Changshui, what happened?"

    Liu Changshui's furious voice came from the walkie-talkie, "Commander, he is a Japanese armed civilian, covered with clothes. He suddenly rushed out from the houses on both sides of the street and blew up six of my tanks! The infantry regiment also suffered the same attack.  The troops suffered heavy casualties during the attack, and more armed civilians rushed out from both sides of the street!"

    There was another burst of explosions on the walkie-talkie, and Yuan Jinghao shouted: "Exit Asahikawa Castle immediately!"

    The tank regiment and the infantry regiment withdrew. Yuan Jinghao rushed over and saw the bodies of the soldiers and the wounded carried on stretchers, as well as the injured tanks. His eyes suddenly turned red, and he looked at them one by one with a gloomy face.

    Major General Song Guotai, commander of the first brigade, walked up to him in a few steps and reported with a livid face: "Commander, the first regiment had more than 200 casualties and eleven tanks were blown up. I asked the soldiers,  There is not a single Japanese soldier in Asahikawa Castle. They are all Japanese wearing civilian clothes. They have all become fucking desperadoes. Their bodies are covered with weapons and grenades. They come out from every corner and play with us and die together. Commander, tell me, then  How to fight the battle coming down?"

    "How to fight? It's easy to fight!" Yuan Jinghao's voice was so cold that it made people shiver, saying: "Chief of Staff, order the two artillery brigades and the heavy artillery regiments, self-propelled artillery regiments, and rocket launcher battalions of each brigade to build artillery positions and tanks nearby.  The first and second brigades all arrived at Asahikawa Castle and prepared to bombard Asahikawa. They required all fire attack units to cover all directions with firepower and bombard Asahikawa Castle indiscriminately!"

    Not a single officer, including Chief of Staff Han Guangqi, opposed Yuan Jinghao's order. The tentative attack by the troops just now has shown that the entire Japanese in Asahikawa City are suicide bombs. If the troops want to pass through Asahikawa, they must not lose them.  Thousands of soldiers' lives were unavoidable, and Asahikawa was the only passage leading to Sapporo, which could not be circumvented or avoided.

    More than forty minutes?After that, all the artillery and tanks were ready for the bombardment. Yuan Jinghao looked into the phone and simply said, "Start!"

    Under the slanting sunlight, countless cannonballs were like meteors, piercing the sky and falling in Asahikawa Castle. The sound of the cannons was deafening, and the sky was filled with smoke and firelight from Asahikawa Castle, which was more intense than the sunset and was as bright as blood.
