Chapter 843 I don't need to hear excuses!! (Ask for a commuter pass!) )
The massive landing of Chinese troops on the island of Kyushu plunged the Japanese army into complete confusion.
The speed with which the Chinese army advanced on all fronts was astonishing. They are advancing hand in hand on several fronts and are unstoppable.
If in the battles of Northeast China and Taiwan, because they were fighting on their own soil, the Chinese army did not want to cause too much damage to property, then this time it was completely different.
Airplanes, tanks, artillery, the Chinese army used all the weapons that could be used.
The tanks that landed ashore were rampage on Japanese soil with impunity, completely desperate. And those shells fired from the cannons that were transported to the island by the ship and Kazucai seemed to be willing to comb through the entire island of Kyushu.
A company of Chinese soldiers launched several charges against a Japanese position, but the Japanese were also very stubborn in resisting, so that several attacks by the Chinese soldiers failed. In particular, a heavy machine gun cost the company three Chinese soldiers.
The company commander became annoyed and began to call for fire support. They were lucky that a tank happened to be nearby.
The tank appeared in front of the position with great force, and after a simple adjustment of the angle, the guns on the tank roared
The first shell missed the accuracy and landed a relatively long way outside the position, which did not stop the Japanese heavy machine guns, and the tank fired a second shell.
This shell landed right on the Japanese position, and with a loud "boom", more than a dozen Japanese soldiers were blown into the air along with their corpses.
The Chinese soldiers let out a cheer and quickly occupied the position.
If it was the soldier's individual combat quality, and the Japanese army was not left behind, then in the contest of weapons, the Japanese army was completely ravaged by the Chinese army.
The Japanese army was simply too small.
If we want to develop the army with all our might, then we must ignore the navy; And if we want to vigorously strengthen the navy, then the upgrading of army weapons will not be able to keep up. This is the reality, the reality that the Japanese have to accept even though they refuse to admit it.
In this regard, the commander of the Japanese army on Kyushu Island, Takasumi Hamae, was at a loss.
He could order his troops to hold their positions, or he could order his soldiers not to retreat in front of the enemy, but he could not think of any solution to the disparity in weapons.
The order from Tokyo has also arrived, and it should be said that the Japanese side reacted extremely quickly to the landing of Chinese troops on Kyushu Island.
While ordering Hamae to defend Kyushu, they used diplomatic channels to denounce the Chinese government and demand that the Chinese army immediately stop its aggression against the Japanese island of Kyushu.
The sudden landing of Chinese troops on Japan's island of Kyushu shocked not only Japan but also the whole world.
What's wrong? What's going on? What's going on?
Why did the Chinese government, which had always preached peace, suddenly resort to force and suddenly start a war against Japan without any country being prepared?
This sudden war was called the "Kyushu Island Invasion Incident" by the Japanese side, also known as the "September 18 Incident."
In Nanjing, Chinese and foreign journalists poured outside the presidential palace demanding that the Chinese government immediately issue a public statement on the incident. As late as 3 p.m. on September 18, Wang Qinglu, Premier of the Republic of China, announced a press conference.
At the news conference, Wang Qinglu first read out a statement from the Chinese government.
In the statement, the Chinese government strongly condemned the serious incident in which Japanese warships shelled Chinese fishing boats on September 11, killing two Chinese fishermen and injuring one.
Subsequently, Premier Wang Kyung-lu showed a letter from the "Japan Progressive Group." In the letter, Masahiro Suzuki, leader of the Japanese Progressive Group, told the Chinese government that there had been large-scale bloodshed on the Japanese island of Kyushu, and that a large number of peace-loving Japanese people who yearned for democracy, freedom, and progress had been brutally massacred by the Japanese government. …,
In Nishikajo on the island of Kyushu alone, the number of Japanese people killed is initially estimated to be more than 2,000.
In the letter, Masahiro Suzuki asked the Chinese government to immediately intervene to stop the bloody repression on Kyushu Island and stop the brutal massacre of the Japanese government!
"There's nothing more disgusting than slaughter." Wang Qinglu then said: "The Japanese army slaughtered our fishermen, and also slaughtered the innocent Japanese people, what could be uglier in Asia?" We have accepted the demands of the Japanese progressive group party and the Japanese people to send troops to Kyushu Island to stop the massacre and bloodshed there. ”
"Mr. Prime Minister, when will this war stop?" A reporter asked aloud.
"When there will be no more massacres in Japan, and its fairness and justice will be restored!" Wang Qinglu said solemnly: "We have never wanted to carry out any aggression, we have sent troops for the sake of the Japanese people, and when peace is restored on Kyushu Island, we will withdraw all the troops there without leaving a single soldier, this is the guarantee of the Chinese government!" ”
While the Chinese and Japanese governments were arguing and blaming each other, Chinese forces intensified their attacks on the island of Kyushu on September 19.
The 9th and 10th Divisions of the Chinese National Defense Army completed the landing at 11 noon on the 19th. On the same day, a temporary headquarters was also established in Kyushu.
Wang Mingzhang and Bai Chongxi arrived in Kyushu at the same time and commanded the Chinese army to attack.
This is Wang Mingzhang's first time outside of China, and everything here feels new to him. He never imagined that one day he would conduct a large-scale military operation on foreign soil.
"The fighting for a day on the 18th was mainly to occupy and consolidate the beachhead, so the pace of our advance was not very fast." Bai Chongxi could not have the good mood of the commander: "The Japanese army's resistance is still very tenacious, and in some positions, we are forced to use tanks and other heavy weapons, but because our equipment has not yet arrived, the soldiers are waiting." Our tanks have not yet been able to assemble, and our artillery has not been able to form an absolute superior firepower! ”
"Send electricity directly to Heng Shuai." Wang Mingzhang didn't want to blurt out: "My Third Army has landed in Kyushu, where is my tank?" Where is my machine gun? Where's my cannon? ”
Nanjing, September 19.
"Where is Wang Mingzhang's tank? Where is Wang Mingzhang's machine gun? Where is Wang Mingzhang's cannon? Wang Hengyue held a telegram in his hand and was angry: "Say, where is the equipment of our soldiers?" ”
Ma Weiyi hurriedly said: "President, we have at least delivered enough equipment to arm a division, as well as the corresponding tanks and artillery. However, due to the scale of the landing and the fact that this was our first landing operation, it was inevitable that there would be a lack of experience."
"Don't explain it to me!" Wang Hengyue impatiently interrupted his brother-in-law's words: "If you sit in this position, you will solve the problem, otherwise anyone can sit in this position!" Now the soldiers at the front need weapons! Listen, all weapons must arrive on Kyushu Island by the 20th! ”
"Yes!" Ma Weiyi smiled bitterly and agreed.
There is nothing to argue with this brother-in-law of his own, especially in times of war. At such a juncture, choosing to obey his orders is the best thing to do
Ma Weiyi had actually done his best, and the equipment of a division was transported to Kyushu Island in time.
At the time of the initial landing operations, Chinese soldiers used light weapons almost exclusively, but this situation was quickly modified in a short time, and heavy weapons arrived on the island of Kyushu one after another. …,
On the 19th, after sending a telegram directly to the president, Wang Mingzhang ordered the vanguard to intensify the attack and concentrate all the tanks that landed on Kyushu Island for use.
During this day, the Chinese soldiers who followed behind the tanks achieved great results. They successively broke through several Japanese well-defended positions, and stubbornly advanced the battle line dozens of kilometers in depth.
However, the resistance of the Japanese army is still very tenacious, often in the case of disadvantage, they are not willing to retreat, but stick to their positions, obey the orders of their superiors, do not fight to the last man, and never give up their positions!
During one battle, a soldier's battlefield diary reads:
"The Japanese were very brave, and in the face of a sudden ambush, they began to occupy all the favorable terrain in the vicinity and began to fight back, and some of our soldiers were shot and wounded, and the scene seemed a little chaotic for a while, but the brethren soon gained the upper hand and compressed the Japanese to a very small place."
It often happens that the Japanese are compressed into a very small place, but they do not have the slightest intention of surrendering, but fight more fiercely.
And this made China angry.
They brought the mortar over, and then, after a simple aiming, the shells whizzed down on the Japanese
In the explosion of "boom", the screams of the Japanese were heard. Then, the Chinese soldiers threw grenades in the direction of the Japanese, which caused more screams.
Those soldiers who participated in the battle for the first time also felt the bloodiness of the battle for the first time.
The bloody scenes, and the stumps and broken arms that flew from time to time, made them feel like they wanted to vomit. Some of them swept around with their guns closed, while others simply hid behind bunkers with their heads in their hands.
Not every soldier will be so brave when they first set foot on the battlefield, and it is only after all this that they can truly grow.
Most of the Japanese in many positions were eventually wiped out, others became prisoners, and only a small part fled this terrible battlefield.
And the victorious Chinese soldiers breathed a long sigh of relief, this damn war.
However, this is only the beginning, and more brutal battles await them. The Japanese are fighting on their own soil, and they will never admit defeat so easily, and they will definitely do their best to resist to the end!
