    Tang Qiuli authorized the press office to issue a public statement against the Japanese. Through a powerful broadcast propaganda system, it quickly spread and fermented in Japan. More than 2,000 artillery pieces and nearly 200 bombers massacred Yamagata Castle.  It's a cruel fact that has to be admitted.

    Hundreds of thousands of Japanese citizens and more than 50,000 Japanese soldiers were all destroyed in more than an hour, and no one survived. This made all Japanese people shudder in their hearts, and finally realized that the title of China Devil Tang Qiuli was in name only.  Consistent, this is a cruel, cold-blooded, decisive person.

    Especially this sentence, "If the Japanese commander in that city tries to drive civilians to fight against our squadron, the consequences of the hundreds of thousands of Japanese civilians and more than 50,000 Japanese soldiers in Yamagata Castle will be your fate!" It is both a warning and a warning.  deterrence.

    The word "driven" explains the mystery. As far as the Japanese national character is concerned, those who are willing to sacrifice themselves for Emperor Hirohito are definitely not a minority. It is rooted in the bones of the Japanese. Otherwise, in history, they would not have occupied the entire Northeast.  After the war, the whole country of Japan caroused, as if they were enjoying a feast of aggression for the whole nation. But in the face of the reality that a city is destroyed, how long can this willingness last?

    Tang Qiuli's public statement undoubtedly had the intention of dividing Japanese civilians and Japanese soldiers. It was a concrete manifestation of psychological tactics. If the Japanese civilians still hold the idea of ????all being broken, then be prepared to bear the consequences of destruction. The artillery shells of the division troops  and bombs, don't mind sending them to see Amaterasu, now, the effect is showing.

    The 29th Corps' Jingzhan Banner Division, which attacked westward from the central offensive group, and the Tang Qiusheng Division of the Sulu Mobile Corps of the southern offensive group, successively attacked the Shizuoka, Nagoya, Fukui, and Gibu areas in the western part of Honshu Island, and at Gibu  After joining forces, the troops were directed towards Kyoto, Osaka, Otsu, Nara, Wakayama and other places.

    Deputy division commander Tang Qiusheng unified the command of the two corps, with a total strength of about 700,000.  Under the cover of the powerful armored cluster and aerial firepower, if a hurricane, it rushed towards the northwest of Honshu Island.

    Ground tank clusters, artillery vehicles and self-propelled artillery vehicles.  The troop transports roared, and the fleet of aircraft in the sky covered the sky.  With murderous intent and a will to fight, the troops belonging to the headquarters of the Japanese defense zone in the northwest of Honshu Island knew full well that a large number of China Division troops were coming from behind. If they did not stop this torrent, they would be in a passive situation where they would be attacked from both sides and their retreat would be cut off. Not only would  The withdrawal to Tokyo cannot be realized, and there is little hope of fighting to the death on the spot.

    Lieutenant General Morita Takiro, Commander-in-Chief of the Northwestern Honshu Defense Zone Headquarters.  We are very clearly aware of this. The only way to resolve the crisis is to mobilize enough troops from the battlefield to reinforce Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe, Otsu, Nara, Wakayama and other places, and secure the retreat channels to Tokyo. Moreover, the troops in the above-mentioned places  The commander of the defense forces indeed sent several telegrams a day, anxiously requesting reinforcements.

    The idea is correct, but it suffers from the fact that the division's left wing attack group's main force, Feng Jiwu Corps, is being attacked from the front.  The fierce attack launched involved all the troops. If the troops were mobilized under such circumstances.  It's almost like committing suicide. He obviously has a good plan in his mind, but he can't use it due to the reality of the battlefield. You can imagine how depressed Lieutenant General Morita is!

    The Japanese garrison commanders in Kyoto, Osaka, Otsu, Nara, Wakayama and other places looked forward to reinforcements as if they were looking forward to their relatives.  It is the torrent of armor of the China Division and the huge fleet of aircraft in the sky.

    The soldiers pressed forward and stood on the commanding heights of the city.  The Japanese commanders in several cities who held telescopes to observe the situation felt their hearts tremble and their hands trembled.  The murderous intent, rolling in, unstoppable, destroying everything, the Chinese army showed frightening strength.

    Following the examples of Sendai and Fukushima, as well as the lesson that Yamagata Castle was massacred by artillery and the whole city could not survive, a few days later, the Japanese troops in Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe, Otsu, Nara and other places all chose to surrender.  , of course, there were also some die-hard Japanese officers and soldiers who were unwilling to lay down their weapons and clamored for death. However, this did not affect the overall situation and could not change the final result. The die-hard Japanese officers and soldiers finally chose to commit suicide.  Come and bury their Majesty the Emperor.

    Only Wakayama Castle refused to surrender. Of course Tang Qiusheng was not accustomed to the Japanese temper. He did not hesitate at all. He immediately ordered more than 1,600 large-caliber artillery pieces to surround Wakayama Castle. It took more than two hours to  In a matter of seconds, hundreds of thousands of artillery shells blasted Wakayama into ruins and completely wiped it off the map. More than 70,000 Japanese civilians and 40,000 Japanese soldiers in the city were all buried in the artillery fire, and no one was spared!

    Another ending of massacre of the city by artillery fire appeared. After being broadcast by the Division Press Office, it became known to the Japanese again, and even more frightened by the Japanese. As a result, Tang Qiusheng was nicknamed the butcher by the Japanese.

    Regarding this nickname, Tang Qiusheng, who had always been indifferent, just laughed it off, and then directed SuluThe Mobile Corps and the 29th Corps established a blocking position from Kobe, Kyoto to Maizuru, completely cutting off the Japanese army's retreat to Tokyo, and sent some troops to continue the westward attack.

    At this point, nearly two million Japanese soldiers on the battlefields in the northwest and northeast of Honshu Island were firmly blocked in the current war zone, unable to escape, waiting to be flanked by several major attack groups from the division and finally eliminated.  destiny.

    After receiving the report, Prince Zaihito, deputy commander-in-chief of Japan¡¯s Homeland Defense Headquarters, once again stared blankly in his office in Yokohama. Sendai, Fukushima, Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe, Otsu, Nara and other cities,  The surrenders to the Chinese one after another made him unexpected and even more unbelievable. How could the emperor surrender if he was fighting in the empire or resisting the invasion of the Chinese?

    The current Prince Zai Ren is not even in the mood to scold these Japanese for betraying His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan. He must consider how to withdraw nearly two million Imperial soldiers on the two battlefields to the Tokyo area. This is the Empire's  The most important capital, if these troops are lost, the Japanese Empire will really come to the end.

    Prince Zain issued orders to Lieutenant General Morita, Commander of the Northwestern Defense Zone Headquarters of Honshu Island, and Lieutenant General Yano Shoichi, Commander of the Northeastern Defense Zone Headquarters, to resolutely break out of the encirclement, ordering the troops in the two defense zones to head towards Tokyo at all costs.  Breakout, the current situation is that the retreat channel is cut off, the imperial troops are facing a situation of being attacked from the front and back, and the retreat can only evolve into a breakout.

    As far as Prince Zai Ren's true inner thoughts are concerned, he does not have much hope for this large-scale breakout operation. That China devil Tang Qiuli used so many heavy military groups to fight in both directions.  , its purpose is obvious, and it will definitely not let go of the two largest military groups in the empire.

    Prince Zai Ren's heart was full of helplessness and powerlessness. For the troops who broke out, sending troops to respond was naturally the safest way. However, the more than 400,000 defense troops in the surrounding areas of Tokyo were the only ones he had in hand.  The only capital left is the last force to protect Tokyo and the Emperor, which I dare not use.

    Moreover, even if they were to be used, they would not dare to use them now. In the direction of Yokohama, west of Tokyo, there are about 100,000 China Division troops, watching with eager eyes. In the direction of Nagano and Maebashi, north of Tokyo, there are more than 200,000 China Division troops.  With human strength, they can attack Kofu and Urawa outside Tokyo at any time, directly threatening Tokyo.

    Prince Zairen believed that if the defense forces around Tokyo were dispatched, there would be no return. Therefore, he could only pray for the blessing of Amaterasu and let Morita and Yano's troops break out as much as possible.  Besides, there was nothing he could do.

    One morning in mid-June, Tang Qiuli came to the headquarters just as the sky was getting brighter. During this period, the campaign to attack the Japanese mainland was progressing very smoothly, even better than expected. Several cities surrendered, and many  It was somewhat unexpected, and it also strengthened my own idea. To deal with the Japanese, I can only kill them until they are frightened and dare not resist!

    The war was progressing smoothly. Tang Qiuli's sleep quality was quite good. After getting up, he felt refreshed. As soon as he picked up a telegram, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe walked into the tent, looked at his face, and said with a smile:  "Teacher Commander's complexion is getting better and better recently!"

    "That's natural. The Japanese are about to destroy the country, and my wish is about to come true. Can't you sleep peacefully?" Tang Qiuli replied with a smile, "Yu He, you came early in the morning, what's going on?  "

    "Yes!" Zhao Yuhe replied: "After receiving information from the northern flying reconnaissance aircraft unit, the Japanese troops on the battlefield in the northeastern part of Honshu Island are retreating across the board. It is expected that around ten o'clock in the morning, its leading troops will be about five divisions.  The regiment has more than 100,000 people and can reach the blocking position of the direct troops! "

    "In addition, the Japanese troops on the battlefield in the northwest of Honshu Island also began to retreat on a large scale. The staff office analyzed that the Japanese Home Defense Headquarters must have given these two groups of Japanese troops a death order to break out, with the purpose of shrinking their forces to Tokyo.  area!"

    "Okay!" Tang Qiuli laughed and said, "The wait is finally here. I see that Zai Ren is also at his wits end. What is the situation on the battlefields of Yuhe, Shikoku Island and Kyushu Island?"

    "It's going well so far!" Zhao Yuhe replied: "Commander Han Tie and Commander Ma Chaoyang called respectively and are attacking the remaining Japanese troops. Among them, the Marine Corps is fighting fiercely with the Japanese troops in the Matsuyama area in the west of Shikoku Island.  The troops of the Southeast Mobile Corps fought fiercely with the Japanese army on the Kumamoto front in central Kyushu Island! "

    "The two corps of our army have advantages in strength and firepower, and they have adopted a steady and steady attack. The tactics of a front-line push, coupled with the limited area of ??the above-mentioned two battlefields, the Japanese army has no room for maneuver and fully occupied Shikoku Island and Kyushu Island.  ,Just a matter of time!"

    ?"Han Tie and Ma Chaoyang, both played smoothly! This is not their style!" Tang Qiuli commented.
