    "You've got it right!" Zhao Yu said happily: "When Commander Ma Chaoyang's troops attacked Oita City on Kyushu Island, Commander Han Tie's troops were attacked when they attacked Takamatsu on Shikoku Island.  Suicide attacks on Japanese civilians in the two places caused casualties to the troops. In anger, the two men mobilized thousands of large-caliber artillery and flattened Oita Castle and Takamatsu Castle. This happened before you ordered the shelling of Yamagata Castle.  thing!¡±

    "However, perhaps because they were worried about being punished by the division commander, Commander Ma and Commander Han did not report the results of the battle at that time. It was not until after your public statement was released that the division commander received instructions from the Southeast Mobile Corps and the Marine Corps to shell Oita and Takamatsu.  A detailed report!¡±

    "Okay! These two guys got in front of me!" Tang Qiuli said jokingly: "What kind of punishment? It's really unfounded! If I punish Ma Chaoyang and Han Tie, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the soldiers!  Yuhe, the division commander immediately moved forward to Xinzhuang, the blocking position of the first brigade, and commanded the troops nearby to see how Liu Hongzhang fought this blocking battle! "

    "I don't agree!" Zhao Yuhe's expression changed immediately, and he said excitedly: "Division Commander, the current position of the division commander is already very far forward. Can you also command the troops? The first brigade is deployed on the front line of Xinzhuang.  That is the key attack area for the Japanese troops to break through. It is too dangerous. If you are worried, I can go to the position of the 1st Brigade, but you must stay here!"

    "Yu He! Look how nervous you are!" Tang Qiuli said nonchalantly: "Today's Japanese soldiers have lost their fighting spirit and only have the thought of running away. The directly subordinate corps has hundreds of thousands of troops, powerful tanks and  Artillery, the defenses have been reinforced for several days, there is no danger for me to go to the first brigade, not to mention, I will stay at the brigade headquarters, can Liu Hongzhang allow me to go to the front line? "

    "So, your worries are unnecessary! What's more, this may be the last large-scale blocking battle after the invasion of Japan begins. I can't miss it! Also, you immediately order Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang to dispatch all  The fighter planes carried out non-stop bombings on the retreating Japanese troops, causing the Japanese troops to lose too much blood and become half-dead before they reached the blocking position! "

    Zhao Yuhe wanted to dissuade him, but Tang Qiuli waved his hands with a firm attitude. Seeing this, he knew that he could not persuade the division commander to give up the idea of ??going to the front line, so he went to arrange the division's forward movement and left.  On the way, he also thought: "If Captain Huang is here, the division commander will definitely not be able to go to the front line!"

    The sun is rising and the sun is shining brightly. It is definitely a good weather, but for the more than 900,000 Japanese soldiers who are rushing to retreat from Aomori and Morioka to Tokyo, such cloudless weather is an absolute nightmare.  .

    Under the bright sunshine, the Japanese soldiers marched like ebbing sea water, scattered on several narrow passages, crowded with people and cars. The chaotic footsteps of the Japanese soldiers stirred up dust all over the sky. Sometimes, it was crowded.  They blocked the path of the soldiers and blocked the passage of trucks and artillery carriages. As a result, the Japanese soldiers who refused to give in to each other began to curse, and the leading officers of both sides had to come forward to argue.

    Behind, the sound of intensive artillery fire was getting closer and closer, like a reminder. Marching under the hot sunshine exhausted the Japanese soldiers' physical strength and patience. Everywhere, exhausted and injured Japanese soldiers could be seen lying on both sides of the road, miserable.  shouted, but all the Japanese soldiers lowered their heads and passed by listlessly. No one took a second look at these wounded soldiers. The atmosphere of failure and fear permeated the team.

    In the sky, there was the roar of engines. Countless division bombers and fighter jets covered the clear sky. Then, countless bombs roared down from the sky, and dense bullets poured down like raindrops.

    "Boom! Boom! - Boom!" Violent explosions continued, the sky-high smoke pillars and flashing firelight enveloped the marching column of Japanese soldiers. A heavy bomb fell. Amidst the bang, the limbs of Japanese soldiers followed.  The exploded soil flew into the air.

    Japanese commanders at all levels roared and organized light and heavy machine guns to shoot into the air. However, they often fired just a few bullets before being attacked by division fighter jets. A burst of bullets flew past, and several more bodies were covered with blood holes on the ground.  The corpses of Japanese soldiers were even more tragically shot into two pieces by large-caliber machine gun bullets.

    The area is too narrow. Hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers are crowded into a small area. The density can be imagined. The division's bombers don't even have to deliberately lower their altitude to find targets. They can just drop their bombs. There are targets all over the mountains and plains.  Don't worry about not being able to blow up the little devils. The explosion of the bomb and the roar of the aircraft engine were intertwined, playing a song of death to hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers.

    From this day on, and in the next few days, from morning to night, the division's bomber groups and fighter groups, like the king of hell, appeared one after another, above the heads of the Japanese soldiers all the time.  Countless bombs and bullets poured down, even in the depths of night.Even at night, there is no peace, as long as there is a little fire, it will attract piles of bombs.

    The Japanese soldiers who broke out from the battlefield in the northeastern part of Honshu Island braved the bombs and bullets raining down from the sky at every moment. They walked step by step, from Aomori, Morioka to Xinzhuang, but there were only more than 170 soldiers.  Along the kilometers of road, you can see the bloody corpses of Japanese soldiers everywhere, their limbs blown into pieces, wounded soldiers with missing arms and legs, wailing in pain, burning trucks, and artillery with bent barrels.

    The blood of Japanese soldiers dyed the road to breakout red, and there were numerous corpses along the way. The carrier-based aircraft group of the Southern Fleet also participated in an unprecedented large-scale bombing, which intensified the casualties of the Japanese army and greatly delayed the Japanese army.  The marching speed, the right-wing attack group chasing behind, and the hundreds of thousands of wolf-like warriors will naturally not miss such a good opportunity.

    Sun Zhenbang and Yuan Jinghao were grinning from ear to ear now. The pursuing Japanese troops had basically lost their ability to counterattack and were focused on escaping, leaving behind the covering troops. They could not resist the right-wing attack group with the armored group as the lead.  They were followed by a fierce pursuit by the artillery. When they encountered resistance, they were first hit with a barrage of artillery shells, and then tanks accompanied the infantry to attack, and the battle ended in a short time.

    Sun Zhenbang and Yuan Jinghao fought to their heart's content, biting off the tails of the Japanese troops one by one. They knew in their hearts that the more Japanese troops the right-wing offensive group destroyed, the less pressure they would have to bear on the directly affiliated corps units that were blocking the attack.  , the order given to all troops was extremely simple, "Pursue! Each brigade must carry out an uninterrupted pursuit regardless of fatigue, and must annihilate more Japanese troops on the way to pursuit!"

    The Japanese troops on the battlefield in the northeastern part of Honshu Island were blown to pieces. On the battlefield in the northwest part of Honshu Island, the Japanese troops who also broke out suffered little better. Feng Jiwu's Niangziguan Garrison Corps troops were  They had stuck to the Japanese troops to fight from the beginning. Now that the Japanese troops have begun to retreat, they cannot let go. Bombs and bullets are raining from the sky, and tanks on the ground are roaring. Every day, tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers disappear in the bombing.

    On the eastern battlefield, the main force of the Japanese army, which broke out regardless of death, finally staggered to the line from Ishinomaki, Xinzhuang to Tsuruoka east of Tokyo after almost draining their bodies of blood. But what was waiting for them was the division's most elite troops.  Directly affiliated corps, a blocking line composed of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

    Lieutenant General Yano Shoichi, commander of the headquarters of the Northeast Honshu Defense Zone, stopped tiredly and looked at the division bombers circling and dropping bombs in the sky. His nose was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood. They were all soldiers of the Imperial Army.  The smell of blood flowing out.

    In the past few days, I, a dignified lieutenant general of the Imperial Army, had mingled among ordinary soldiers. Like ordinary soldiers, I had walked more than 170 kilometers of the breakout road on my feet. I did not dare to ride in a car or ride a horse.  On the circling China plane, I was worried that I couldn't find the target!

    On the cruel battlefield, the life of a lieutenant general of the Imperial Army is not much more noble than the life of an ordinary soldier. The bombs of the Chinese planes did not recognize the lieutenant general or private soldiers. The guards who just protected him had changed several times.  , and then look at myself, my whole body is covered with mud, and my military uniform has also torn a few holes. I am as embarrassed as I want, "Alas!" Lieutenant General Yano Shoichi sighed, his eyes were very confused.

    Major General Shun Yokota, the chief of staff of the headquarters, felt his heart sink when he heard the commander's sigh. He said with a tired tone in a heavy tone: "Commander, the troops have suffered heavy casualties in the past few days. China's combat aircraft are flying day and night."  The bombing exhausted the soldiers' energy and physical strength to the extreme, and a lot of heavy equipment and ammunition were damaged on the road! "

    "The Chinese people have built blocking positions along the line from Ishinomaki, Xinzhuang to Tsuruoka. They obviously want to block the Imperial Army's withdrawal to Tokyo. The Ministry of Staff is worried that with the current combat effectiveness and physical strength of the soldiers, it may be difficult to break through the China Division's troops.  check!"

    "There are still pursuers behind. If we cannot break through the blockade in the front within two days, the pursuing China Division troops will soon catch up, and the situation will become even worse. Do you want to ask Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zai Ren for help again?"

    "Yokota-kun, if Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zain has reinforcements, will he sit idly by and ignore it?" Lieutenant General Yano asked, "Now it's not just us, the Morita troops on the northwest battlefield are also facing  The same danger as us, alas, His Highness is also helpless!"

    Chief of Staff Yokota was silent for a long time and then asked: "Commander, what should we do now? Should we give the troops a few hours to rest and adjust their deployment time, or should we launch an attack immediately?"

    "What should we do? It's just a fight to the death to break through!" Lieutenant General Yano said indifferently: "Yokota-kun, convey my order, each department will form a wave of attack troops based on divisions, regardless of casualties, and continue to attack the China Division troops.  Block the position and launch an attack without orders from the headquarters.No matter how heavy the casualties are, we must not stop!  "
