The steel tracks rolled against the muddy earth, and the black hole pointed directly at the city of Wuhan. The earth-shattering shouts of killing rolled like waves into Wuhan, making the devils guarding the city tremble wildly.

Boom Boom Boom ...... The tank units opened full fire one kilometer closer to the city of Wuhan, and the self-propelled artillery units in the rear also opened fire on the frontal defense line of Wuhan at the same time. Under the artillery in the rear, the frontal defense line of Wuhan quickly collapsed, and countless devils withdrew from the defense line with wails and fled into the city in embarrassment.

On the left and right, under the cover of artillery, the First Army quickly broke through the positions outside the city that had been scorched to the earth, and approached the devil's defense line inside the city.

Before they could get closer, a large number of grenades and heavy machine gun bullets poured into the city, and the devils retreated one after another. Those improvised fortifications could not stop the advance of the People's Liberation Army, and they were torn apart by the explosion of guns and grenades, disintegrating countless fragments of the city.

The tank troops roared all the way to the city of Wuhan, and the devils who lacked heavy weapons along the way surrendered one after another. Under the attack of a behemoth like the wolf tank, you can either turn into a human bomb to fight, or you can only surrender to save your life, and there is no third way to choose.

Sure enough, as the major general who surrendered said, the People's Liberation Army has not yet rushed into the city, and just a sweep of firepower has already made a large number of devils surrender. As the tank led a large number of infantry into the city, the devils who surrendered fell to their knees on the side of the road in waves, their weapons held high in both hands, and their faces were full of pity begging for their lives.

Not to kill prisoners is a discipline that the Communist Party, the Communist Party, and the Party have always observed. Before the battle, **** had already issued an order to the whole army and not to violate it.

So even if the soldiers hated, they just kicked over these devils and seized their weapons.

The 1st and 2nd armies attacked the city from three sides and encountered little resistance. Except for some devils who stubbornly resisted to the end, most of the Japanese troops surrendered as soon as possible.

In the devil's city defense headquarters, only Kawabe Shoichi and a dozen or so subordinates who had just escaped from the outside were left at this moment.

The sound of killing outside shook the sky, and it seemed that the whole world had turned upside down. This headquarters will soon be destroyed by the shouts of killing, and all the people here will be history.

Kawabe Masaichi looked coldly at his subordinates who fled into the headquarters, and said miserably: "We are incompetent, but we can be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor." Guys, are you ready? ”

The people who fled here are diehards with a single brain. For the emperor, for their war, there is a fanaticism that ordinary people cannot imagine. They came here to give their last allegiance to the Emperor!

All the devils nodded heavily, and they all pulled out their swords at their waists. For devils who believe in bushido, death is a sacred thing.

It's a ritual where even the knives used to cut the abdomen are divided into types, just to finally stab the knife into one's stomach and cut it horizontally.

It's just that there is no time left for them to prepare, and everyone is on their knees, facing their companions. After a miserable roar from the riverside, all the swords stabbed into their master's filthy body, and the group of devils twisted in pain. I didn't see any splendor of the holy war, only the hideous faces of my companions when I was dying.

There are devils everywhere who are committing suicide, either by disemboweling or by swallowing guns. As long as you fight with the Japanese army, you will inevitably have such devils. They are afraid of fighting the People's Liberation Army and unwilling to surrender, so they can only choose to end their own lives in this stupid way.

The fighting in Wuhan was unimaginably fast, and it ended in two hours, and the city was captured without even a sweeping street fight.

The reason for the lack of street fighting is simple, the civilians in Wuhan spontaneously organized themselves, and when they saw the devils who rushed into their homes, they were beaten violently. Many devils who are ready to resist to the end do not die at the guns of the People's Liberation Army, but at the hands of civilians whom they usually look down upon.

and Hu Xinghan successfully met in the city, and then occupied the headquarters of Shunroku Hata as their base camp.

This time, more than 18,000 devils were captured and more than 15,000 devils were killed and wounded. And the damage on the side of the PLA is almost negligible.

Li Haolin's cavalry brigade was ordered to patrol the city to prevent the Japanese army from hiding its forces.

Later, **** ordered the First Army and the Second Army to transfer a part of their troops to carry out a special task...... Raided the nest of the Japanese.

Wuhan is the real base camp of China's dispatch army.

The one in Nanjing is at most the headquarters, and Wuhan, since the Japanese army drove the country and the army out of here, has always regarded this place as the general headquarters of the front.

The supplies of the million-strong army were hoarded in Hubei, and a large part of them were in Wuhan. For the People's Liberation Army, this is a rich place of oil, and the warehouses that can be seen everywhere are full of various military supplies of the Japanese army, and the arsenals are even more numerous.

Moreover, a large amount of property stolen by the devils from the south was also hoarded in Wuhan.

This is also the reason why when Shunroku Hata thought that Wuhan would be captured, he immediately rushed like ants on a hot pot.

Wuhan is home to a large amount of wealth plundered by his Chinese dispatch army in the past two years, and if it is captured by the PLA, won't these two years be tantamount to working for the PLA? Therefore, he was desperate to mobilize a large army to encircle and suppress the PLA, and gave up the best strategy of attacking the base areas.

It's a pity that whatever he fears, it happens. The overwhelming People's Liberation Army attacked Hubei all the way, defeated the Japanese troops who stayed here, and Wuhan did not hold even a day, all of which were unexpected by Shunroku Hatata.

By the end of the evening, the troops in charge of raiding the Japanese lair had received news that the Japanese had seized countless kinds of property looted by the Japanese army from the people, including six tons of gold alone, and the amount of silver could not be estimated in a short period of time.

There are also all kinds of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, etc., and there are countless of them.

Seventeen weapons and ammunition depots were mothballed, and thirty-one were mothballed in the munitions depots. The city is indeed rich, the confiscated work continues, and many supplies have not had time to be counted.

took the list sent by his subordinates, and laughed at Hu Xinghan: "Old Hu, if Shunroku Hata vomits blood without anger this time, then his heart will be too wide!" ”

Hu Xinghan also had a list of confiscated materials in his hand, and he also smiled and said: "So many military materials, all of them are transported back to our base area, and they are refined, so that we can produce more weapons and arm more troops." This time the battle was fruitful, and it was all commanded by Mr. Lin. ”

While the two were talking and laughing, a herald suddenly ran outside, reporting that the troops of the Third Army had arrived outside Wuhan, and that Mr. He was heading towards the city with a group of senior officers of the Third Army.

and Hu Xinghan immediately went out to greet him, and soon saw He Long and his party coming from the dust.

Somewhat surprised, he asked, "Where did the commander-in-chief go?" ”

He Long smiled bitterly, told **** and Hu Xinghan what happened along the way, and then said the information he had obtained on the road when he came here. The Japanese army of 600,000 troops had surrounded Wuhan from three sides, cutting off their way back to Henan. And after the 600,000 army, a large number of Japanese troops followed, including the heavy firepower of the devils.

After a brief conversation, all three of them realized the danger. At the moment, they are alone, although they have achieved fruitful results. But if you don't leave Wuhan in time, you are likely to be trapped and die by the Yangtze River.

They must not go to the south to take refuge in the country, the people's government! I am afraid that when the time comes, the possibility of being attacked by the country, the army and the Japanese army will happen, and the attempted incident in southern Anhui is the best reminder.

The three of them immediately entered the headquarters, Gao Dong was not there, **** and He Long were the veterans of the Southern Group Army, Hu Xinghan had experienced a hundred battles, and only they could decide the fate of the 100,000 army.

"We must evacuate Wuhan immediately, the Japanese army is menacing, we have raided the devil's hometown, I'm afraid the devils are going crazy. This time is different, we don't have a strong position, and we are surrounded on three sides, if we stay, we will be completely annihilated! He Long said calmly.

Hu Xinghan nodded: "I also agree to evacuate, Wuhan is not a place for us to stay for a long time." Only by leaving here and going into the mountains to deal with devils is our only chance of life. As long as we are still here, the main force of the devils will never dare to face up to our base area, because we will always be a thorn in the middle of their throat, and we will not be happy if we don't pull it out! ”

His face was very solemn, and after listening to the two of them, he asked: "But Commander-in-Chief Gao hasn't come back yet, and when we leave, it is equivalent to leaving him alone in the mountains." Who will answer him? ”

He Long and Hu Xinghan were silent, but only for a moment, Hu Xinghan smiled and said, "Don't worry, the commander-in-chief will definitely be fine." ”

looked at Hu Xinghan in surprise, and Hu Xinghan explained confidently: "I have followed the commander-in-chief for many years, from the beginning when I was a local bandit who occupied the mountains and was the king to the current commander who commands tens of thousands of troops. I know the commander-in-chief and his abilities very well, don't worry, as long as we are safe, the commander-in-chief will definitely find us. ”

He Long glanced at each other, and his eyes instantly became firm.

At this moment, it is already an urgent time, and if they delay for one more second, they will be in danger of being surrounded for one more second, so they must make a decision immediately.

"Mr. He, Commander Hu, I will temporarily command our Southern Group Army!" Said unyieldingly.

"That's natural, you were originally our deputy commander-in-chief, who doesn't listen to you!" He Long nodded immediately, and Hu Xinghan followed with a firm gaze.

"Immediately load all the captured property into trucks, as well as all the military supplies that can be taken away, these things are needed in our base area. Then all the troops were transferred into the Dabie Mountain, and the Dabie Mountain connected the three provinces, so that we could not only deal with the devils, but also wait for the opportunity to return to the base area! As for the remaining supplies in the city, all of them were given to the common people, and they were advised to leave the city as soon as possible to hide from the Japanese army. It really can't be taken away, all of them are burned, and there must not be a single thing left for the devil. ”

"Time is running out, let's go our separate ways. What follows will be a tough battle, and if we can survive to the end, we will win! "**** quickly gave the order, sharp edge.

"As for Commander Gao." There was worry in his eyes: "I hope he can come back safely, he really is." It's a tiger general! ”
