Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Prince Zai Ren's movements were erratic and his eyes were dull, but Chief of Staff Yoshioka was frightened and thought that His Highness the Prince had gone crazy after being hit repeatedly, so he hurriedly reminded: "Deputy Commander-in-Chief, isn't it?"  Did you just receive an urgent message from Lieutenant General Matsuda Kenjiro, commander of the Thirteenth Army of the Shizuoka garrison?"

    "I know!" Prince Zai Ren said angrily, "What else is there?"

    Chief of Staff Yoshioka looked at Prince Zairen's face and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "I just received an urgent message from Lieutenant General Yoshiyasu Araki, commander of the Shikoku Island Defense Zone Headquarters, that the China Division troops have launched an attack on Shikoku Island and have already arrived in Kochi.  Landing, they broke through the two lines of defense of the Imperial Army, occupied Kochi, and continued to advance deeper into Shikoku Island. Its hundreds of thousands of troops have launched attacks on Tokushima, Takamatsu, Matsuyama and other places. The whole front of Shikoku Island is in emergency!"

    Unexpectedly, when he heard the news, Prince Zai Ren's face was frighteningly calm. It may be that the bad news that followed had numbed his nerves. After being silent for a while, he spoke in an extremely tired tone.  Said: "Yoshioka-kun, cancel the order I issued before, the troops in the Tokyo Defense District do not need to attack!"

    "In addition, the order to order the troops belonging to the northwest Honshu Defense Zone Headquarters and the Northeast Defense Zone Headquarters to immediately evacuate to the Tokyo area remains unchanged. Also, the Imperial Home Defense Headquarters has also come to evacuate Kyoto and will be transferred immediately.  To Yokohama!¡±

    Chief of Staff Yoshioka fully agreed with Prince Zain's order. Kyoto has now become the site of the Fourth Battle. Whether it is the division troops landing in the direction of Shizuoka or Kanazawa, Kyoto will be cut off from Tokyo at any time.  There can only be one result. The Imperial Home Defense Headquarters was taken over by the Chinese soldiers. Besides being killed in battle, he and Prince Zai Ren were captured by the Chinese soldiers.  [Ran^wen^Bookstore][774][buy]I will tell you, is the quickest way to update novels?

    On the outskirts of Yamagata Castle on Honshu Island, six brigades of troops directly under the corps surrounded Yamagata Castle.  In addition, other troops directly under the corps are besieging Fukushima and Sendai and capturing these three places.  This completely cut off the retreat of nearly a million Japanese troops in the northeastern part of Honshu Island, and formed an encirclement with the right-wing offensive group occupying Hokkaido!

    Tang Qiuli personally directed the attack on Yamagata City. His armored command vehicle was parked on a hillside less than ten kilometers away from Yamagata City. This is the commanding heights nearby.  From a high position, he could observe the situation of the Japanese positions outside Yamagata Castle. In addition to a detachment of special guards, there were more than a dozen staff officers beside him. The division chief of staff, Lieutenant General Zhao Yuhe, was responsible for commanding the attack on Fukushima and Sendai.  force.

    Major General Ge Zhenzhuang, director of the Division Staff Office, walked to Tang Qiuli with several telegrams and reported: "Division Commander, I received a telegram from Deputy Division Commander Tang, who commanded the South Road offensive force. Commander Han Tie of the Marine Corps, commanded  The headquarters has landed in Kochi on Shikoku Island, and the troops are making good progress. They are currently attacking important targets such as Tokushima, Takamatsu, and Matsuyama!¡±

    "The Sulu Mobile Corps landed in Shizuoka on Honshu Island. The troops are making good progress. They have occupied Shizuoka and are currently attacking in the direction of Nagoya. In addition, the first part of the Sulu Mobile Corps is attacking in both directions of Yokohama and Kofu.  Combat feint!"

    "Okay!" Tang Qiuli was in high spirits and in a very excited mood, and used the two ultimate moves at the same time.  Basically determines the outcome of the campaign to attack the Japanese mainland. At this moment, the total strength of the division troops landing on Honshu Island has reached 2.6 million, exceeding the total strength of the Japanese troops on Honshu Island. In addition, they have absolute air control.  and control of the sea.  The resistance of the Japanese was nothing more than lingering for a while.

    The final encirclement of Tokyo is the final stage of this battle. What needs to be done now is to firmly encircle the nearly two million Japanese troops in the northwest and northeastern areas of Honshu Island and annihilate them on the spot, no matter which direction they are.  , the division troops had an absolute advantage in terms of strength and equipment. Tang Qiuli was determined to win the two annihilation battles. After this battle, the Japanese no longer had many available troops, and Tokyo became a ripe peach.  A gust of wind can blow it down.

    Tang Qiuli can now basically conclude that the southern offensive force will land in Shizuoka on Honshu Island and Kochi on Shikoku Island, and the central offensive group in the northern direction will land in Kanazawa, Joetsu and Shinwu. Two sharp knives from the north and south will be inserted.  The only thing that Prince Zain could do was to order the nearly two million Japanese troops on the northwest and northeastern battlefields of Honshu Island to quickly withdraw to the Tokyo area and form a heavily-armed defense posture.

    Otherwise, the Japanese troops on the two battlefields would be attacked from both sides and eventually annihilated. Tang Qiuli had already judged that Prince Zairen's next move was actually a move he was forced to take.  Chess, now that the Japanese's chess strategy has been judged, there will naturally be countermeasures. Many of the tricks that have been ignored are now time to take action!

      "Order!" Tang Qiuli said to Ge Zhenzhuang: "Feng Jiwu, commander of the left-wing offensive group, your troops immediately launch a full-scale attack on the Japanese third line of defense located on the Hiroshima front line, and have occupied Kanazawa's 20th  Li Honggang of the Ninth Corps immediately launched an attack on Fukui and Qibu, and must occupy the above two places within five days!"

    "After occupying Shizuoka and Nagoya, the Sulu Mobile Corps troops of the southern offensive force also advanced towards Qibu. After converging with the 29th Corps, the troops, commanded by deputy division commander Tang Qiusheng, attacked westward and quickly captured Otsu and Kyoto.  ¡±

    "Except for the six brigades that attacked Yamagata, the remaining troops of the directly affiliated corps built blocking fortifications on the spot after capturing Fukushima and Sendai to block the retreat of Japanese troops from the northeastern part of Honshu Island to Tokyo and occupy the East Point troops of Joetsu.  Immediately go south, attack and occupy Toyama, Nagano and other places, and monitor the movements of Japanese troops in the direction of Kofu and Urawa!"

    After Ge Zhenzhuang recorded the order and repeated it to confirm that it was correct, he turned around and left quickly to give the order. At this time, an armored command vehicle drove up from the bottom of the mountain. It was very fast, and it kicked up dust all the way. In the blink of an eye,  When they arrived, there was a sudden "squeak" of the brakes. Major General Liu Hongzhang, commander of the first brigade of the Corps, Major General Gao Jingkun, deputy brigade commander, and Colonel Liu Chenglin, chief of staff of the brigade, jumped out of the car.

    "If you don't command the troops to attack from the front, what are you doing here?" Before Liu Hongzhang could speak, Tang Qiuli asked with a stern face and a rather unhappy tone. Also, the troops were already ready to attack Yamagata City. If there was another attack,  The attack began within two hours, but Liu Hongzhang, the commander of one of the main attacking forces, came to him.

    Liu Hongzhang glanced at the deputy brigade commander Gao Jingkun and the chief of staff Liu Chenglin. Both of them shrank back. Liu Hongzhang opened his mouth and smiled unnaturally and said: "Report to the division commander, I am not responsible for the attack on Yamagata Castle that you have arranged."  I have opinions on troop deployment!¡±

    Upon hearing Liu Hongzhang being so straightforward, Gao Jingkun and Liu Chenglin both closed their eyes and thought to themselves: "It's over! The division commander is most taboo about putting forward different opinions on the battle deployment before the attack is about to be launched. During the meeting to study, they can do whatever they want.  , but the war is about to start, absolutely not!"

    Sure enough, Tang Qiuli's face darkened and he became furious: "Liu Hongzhang, are you okay? At the pre-war meeting, you had no objections to the regiment's campaign deployment. Why, the attack is about to start, you  Come to me and tell me what you think! I¡¯ll give you three minutes!¡±

    Liu Hongzhang shrank his neck in fright and said boldly: "Commander, we didn't know the situation in advance and were not familiar with the terrain. But after we pulled the troops up, we discovered that the starting point of the first brigade's attack was in the second brigade."  There are more than 20 kilometers behind the brigade position. You said, the little Japanese's Yamagata City is just that big. If six brigades attack together, won't the first brigade suffer a loss? "

    "When other brigades entered, our first brigade started to attack Yamagata Castle. The cucumbers and vegetables were cold, and the meat was eaten by other brigades first. We couldn't get anything! We asked the division commander to adjust the deployment of offensive troops and  The first brigade is placed at the current position of the second brigade. You also know that the first brigade has always been the first main offensive force! As soon as you give an order, I will rush back immediately! "

    "What? Just because of this, you Liu Hongzhang came to me like crazy!" Tang Qiuli became angry and continued to yell: "I think you are so full that you have nothing to do. Who rules you?"  Liu Hongzhang¡¯s troops must be the first to attack, and the other brigades should make way for you, right?¡±

    "During the corps combat meeting, you, Liu Hongzhang, didn't look at the military map and didn't know the terrain conditions around Yamagata Castle?"

    Liu Hongzhang muttered: "I looked at the map, but I didn't know that in the little devil's territory, the actual situation is different from the map and ours in China! Did you miss it?"

    "What are you mumbling about?" Tang Qiuli glared at Liu Hongzhang, then turned to look at Gao Jingkun and Liu Chenglin, and asked: "Gao Jingkun, Liu Chenglin, do you two mean the same thing? Do you have the same request as Liu Hongzhang?"

    Gao Jingkun and Liu Chenglin shook their heads hastily, with helpless expressions on their faces. Before coming to the division commander, the two of them had already advised Liu Hongzhang. If they came to the division commander for this reason, they would definitely be criticized. They ignored it. Now the brigade is from an officer to  Ordinary soldiers are not full of energy and red eyes gearing up to perform meritorious service in the little devil's lair.

    ¡°Besides, Commander Ouyang Yishan of the Second Brigade, if he knew that you approached the division commander and adjusted the offensive position, wouldn¡¯t he also start a fuss?  Although Brigadier Ouyang is usually gentle and has no temper, at this juncture, no one is willing to give in. It is even more scary for an honest man to lose his temper!

    Liu Hongzhang was so angry that he glared at his two partners, blaming them for notQi.

    "What are you staring at?" Tang Qiuli yelled at Liu Hongzhang: "The request is rejected. You three will disappear in front of my eyes within one minute!"
