Chapter 939: Kitakyushu
"We don't have to move these machines back?" Hu Minghe accompanied Huang Huamin to stand outside a mint production plant in Kitami City.
From the very beginning of the attack on the Japanese mainland, there were rumors within the Chinese army that they wanted to rob all the little devils. Hu Minghe even slapped the table in front of a group of subordinate generals, shouting that he wanted to snatch the crotch cloth of the little devil.
After laying a net that has not yet developed, there is a pitiful little loot there, and even Hu Minghe frowns when he sees it.
Although he still wanted to lead a group of his men to continue the attack, he was replaced by a group of North Koreans in front. The combat level of this group of servant troops is grinning, not to mention continuing to attack, in the face of the Japanese army coming from the counterattack, it is difficult to even hold the line.
If it weren't for the strict military law that erected hundreds of typical examples, and the elite Chinese troops who had rested after the landing operation to help them from time to time, I am afraid that these people would have collapsed long ago.
After building a large-scale assembled simple wharf near Abashiri Port, Hu Minghe, who had received the tacit approval of the counterattack, could no longer hold his breath, and more than 30,000 Chinese elites attacked together, directly annihilating the 40,000 Japanese counteroffensive troops who were full of confidence in the face of the Korean and Korean subordinate forces, and hit Kitami City in one go.
At about the same time, he had already seized the port in Wakkanai, and built a simple port in Edayuki and Monbetsu, and Huang Huamin, who had gained a firm foothold, also organized 80,000 Chinese troops, including 20,000 marines, to counterattack together, defeated the 100,000 Japanese troops who counterattacked, annihilated more than 50,000 enemies, and successively occupied Nayo, Tenshio and other places, and formed a siege of Asahikawa together with Hu Minghe of Kitami.
At this time, the offensive of the Chinese army stopped again, and the North Koreans and puppet Manchus continued to fill the pits in front of the cannon fodder. In addition to resting and recuperating, the Huaxia army continued to pack all kinds of machinery and even items from Wakkanai and Kitami and other places and send them back to China.
But some remained.
"If you move these machines back, what will you do with those mints? Do you want to take it back directly? Huang Huamin said with a smile.
"Yes. I almost forgot. There are also a lot of freshly picked mint raw materials, as well as the patches of mint bushes in the field, it would be too wasteful to give up like this. Hu Minghe took off his military hat and scratched his head. Otherwise, we will all cut it back and pull it back to be used as firewood even if we don't live, as well as those trees on the surrounding mountains. Otherwise, we'll all cut it down, and we won't leave the little devils at all. ”
"Are you really idle, full of food? I didn't look at the young men from the Marine Corps, and now they are still practicing! Do you think that with those North Koreans in front, this is to release Nanshan? Huang Huamin scolded with a smile.
"The little devil robbed us of so many things, it's not easy to come here, so I have to bring back some interest. Do you want to leave the cheap North and South Korean mallets? Hu Minghe said angrily.
"How can you be cheap with those North and South Korean sticks? Do you think that in exchange for land, you have to give them all the real Hokkaido? Huang Huamin sneered.
"What ......?" Hu Minghe's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he leaned to Huang Huamin's side with a straight face. Laughing.
"No one can take away our spoils!" Huang Huamin remembered what Wei Hanchao said, and couldn't help but imitate his tone and said. "If so, the Korean and Korean mallets and the old soldiers know each other. You can also leave them with some leftovers. If you don't know how to read it, fill it all in the battlefield! ”
Although Huang Huamin does not know much about the specific method of exchanging military merits for land. But I also know that Hokkaido is not in the scope of land exchange.
As one of the world's four largest fishing grounds, Hokkaido is rich in fishery resources, and Meng Xiang has long classified it as owned by China. As for the autonomous circle promised to Koreans and other ethnic groups, Meng Xiang is directly on the island of Honshu in Japan, and the amount of land they have laid will be divided into half according to 55%.
The conditions sound good, but they really attract a lot of aliens who are not willing to be lonely.
But that's if they can lay it. Not to mention their poor combat effectiveness, maybe all of them will be consumed in Hokkaido and Kyushu and other places, and they may not necessarily attack Honshu Island, even if they can complete the prerequisite for clearing Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Shikoku, landing on Honshu Island also needs the support of the Huaxia army. When to land on Honshu Island, Meng Xiang has the final say. During this period, it was enough for the Chinese army to occupy the fat land of Honshu Island.
……
"I'm afraid that they have a life to earn, but no life to enjoy!" At this time, Zhao Junmai, who was in charge of the offensive on Kyushu Island, also disdainfully said to a group of generals of the North and South Korean armies who nodded and walked away.
Like the Hokkaido offensive, on the side of Kyushu Island, it was still Huaxia's elite troops who fought at the beginning, and in order to resist the Japanese heavy troops in Kyushu, Huaxia also invested heavy troops in this direction. The main force of the Marine Corps, which has reached 300,000 troops, is concentrated here.
Japan's Kyushu Island has always had a strong people's style and is one of Japan's main sources of soldiers.
The 6th Kumamoto Division and the 18th Kurume Division, which participated in the Nanjing Massacre, were from here. Other Japanese soldiers such as Fukuoka, Nagasaki Saga, Kagoshima and other places also wreaked havoc on the land of China.
Although the vanguard army destroyed many Japanese divisions, out of overall strategic considerations, some divisions that had wreaked havoc in China were spared and left to the Americans to deal with.
There is no enemy in his hand, and Meng Xiang is also a little regretful in his heart. When arranging the strategy for the attack on Kyushu Island, Meng Xiang insisted that the Chinese army come to retaliate in person.
"The Japanese defense on Kyushu Island is still very strong, we can let the Americans attack again first, and when we hit the Ryukyu Islands and attract part of the Japanese strength on Kyushu Island, especially the naval strength, we will easily succeed behind the back!" Someone once made a suggestion, but Meng Xiang vetoed it.
The Japanese have repeatedly suffered losses in the surprise attacks of the Chinese army, and they have always been more vigilant against the Chinese, and the effect of the surprise attacks has become worse and worse. When the Americans approached and the sudden failure of new tactics such as night bombing, I am afraid that the landing battle of the Chinese army would become more and more difficult after the defense of the Japanese mainland was strengthened.
Taking advantage of the fact that Japan has underestimated the ability to land on China, and the crisis in relations between China and the United States has paralyzed the Japanese, it will be easier to land on Kyushu Island.
Moreover, the Chinese counterattack on Japan was not only for revenge, but also for packing and looting. When the Americans came, the hordes of American bombers reduced the final harvest of China a lot.
In order to reduce unnecessary damage to the battle, and even for a long time, Huaka's bombers only lingered over Tsushima Island and did not drop bombs on Kitakyushu.
At this time, Moji, Yawata and Kokura had not yet merged into Kitakyushu, but the Sekimon Industrial Zone, along with Shimonoseki, was already one of the most industrially prosperous areas in Japan, and the famous Yawata Iron and Steel Plant was located in Kitakyushu, making it an ideal target for robbery.
In order to catch up with the Japanese to react and destroy this place, this time the Chinese army landed directly in Kitakyushu.
Compared with Hokkaido's insufficient defense, the Japanese defended Kyushu Island tightly. Even if troops are deployed from various places, Kitakyushu, which is a strategic location, is heavily guarded and has few loopholes. Except for a surprise attack at the beginning, the rest can only be a strong attack.
This is also the focus of this attack on the Japanese mainland.
At first, most of the bomber groups in China rushed here, unceremoniously targeting various military targets, cleaning them up, and even directly cleaning up the arsenals of the Japanese Army in Ogura Castle and Wakamatsu Ward, blowing up the weapons depots there.
The arsenal located in Ogura Castle is not the Tokyo Ogura Arsenal, one of the four major arsenals of World War II in Japan, but even if it is the Tokyo Ogura Arsenal, Meng Xiang will blow it up unceremoniously.
It is true that Huaxia lacks machines, but there is never a shortage of weapons, and compared to the benefits obtained from seizing the spoils of those arsenals, the harm caused to the Chinese soldiers by the Japanese may rely on these arsenals makes Meng Xiang more concerned. And to blow up this place, it is good to trigger a follow-up attack plan.
"Poison gas! Poisonous gas! Some of the Japanese soldiers guarding the Yawata Iron and Steel Plant were the first to react when they looked at the yellow-green gas that had swallowed up many Japanese people.
According to the stinginess of the Japanese, when they go out to fight, they will wear gas masks, but in normal times, on the mainland, a few people will think of being attacked by poison gas.
The Huaxia bombers, which continued to bomb overhead, took advantage of the darkness to drop special bombs directly over one target after another.
However, the records of these actions on paper have basically been destroyed, and when later generations explored, most of them agreed that the aerial bombardment of the Japanese Ogura Arsenal caused the spread of poison gas caused by the aerial bombardment proposed by the Chinese government.
The Japanese did have a poison gas factory near Ogura Castle for the Tama-crushing Project, which was later revealed in written records, leaving some of the later generations of scholars in vain.
But at that time, the poisonous gas was everywhere and the Japanese did not care to investigate the source, and even though some of their soldiers took some rudimentary anti-poison measures, most of them fell in pain, not to mention the defense against the rushing Chinese army.
The landing of the Chinese army in the heavy industrial areas of Kitakyushu did not meet too fierce resistance at all, except for some areas along the coast that were not conducive to the spread of poisonous gases suffered slightly greater losses, and the whole landing process was relatively smooth.
It's just that after the landing of the Huaxia army, it did not shrink immediately.
This is not Hokkaido, there are many places to take advantage of the opportunity to plunder, and in the first few days, the Huaxia army has been constantly attacking with the support of a large number of follow-up reinforcements and sub-bases, and it is only after almost the industrial essence of the entire Kitakyushu is embraced that it slows down the pace of attack. The troops that came to support them were replaced by impatient North and South Korean soldiers, who stood up to the front to meet the Japanese counterattack.
