Chapter 434: The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is raging
At the moment when the war situation was chaotic, the newspapers in the Shanghai Concession once again published astonishing news, and soon after the advance army was electrified, the streets were filled with news of the Nanjing Massacre. The Japanese generals who published the photos themselves held up their confessions, and the content of the confessions on the page was even more outrageous.
The killing of prisoners, the killing of civilians, rape, robbery, all kinds of brutal content made everyone indignant. Even their prince, Hatohiko of Asakanomiya, also participated in it, and organized a party of beautiful women with the generals, and used the young women they had stolen to act as vents. Tools of desire. The content is unsightly.
However, the contents of each newspaper are not duplicated, and the contents of each newspaper are independent, and there are dozens of high-ranking Japanese military officers. Their ugly faces are all on display, and at the end, they are all the same, they have been corrected by the Fa and atoned for the sins of the people who have died.
The brutal behavior of the Japanese army made everyone understand that the Japanese army was not occupying, not just changing the concept of a ruler in the past wars, but exterminating the race, destroying the blood of China, and completely erasing the 5,000-year-old precipitation of China, including life.
Less than an hour after the newspaper was published, demonstrations broke out all over the streets, and then, the anti-Japanese cries in the major cities reached another climax, and the marches everywhere in the areas that had not been conquered, and the hot-blooded young people everywhere demanded to join the army, take up guns, avenge the civilians who died, and fight to preserve the blood of China.
At 10 o'clock, Dong Ku received the information that the flames of war had been ignited in various places, and while breathing a sigh of relief, he decided to return to Shanghai and find a way to get rid of those aircraft carriers in preparation for the attack on Shanghai.
He found Sun Tao, discussed the plan with him in detail, and then ordered Harbin to broadcast to the whole world.
Ten minutes later, the voice of China sounded again.
The content is naturally that the advance army has cooperated with various departments to resist the Japanese forces, in Hangzhou. In Changzhou, Jiangyin, Zhanjiang, as well as Nanjing, Bengbu, Xuzhou and other places, a counterattack against Japan was launched. And once again vowed that he would hunt down and kill all the Japanese criminals who set foot on Chinese soil, and would hunt them down to the ends of the earth without dying, and would hunt down and kill all the Japanese troops who participated in the invasion of China, and not let go of any of them.
The Voice of China was the first newspaper to arrive in major cities, making the fire of resistance against Japan even more blazing. The people, at this moment, have all woken up and clearly seen that Japan is going to destroy China. It is necessary to exterminate the species, to exterminate the race, not to enslave it, so that more people who exist in a different dynasty and live like this will wake up.
After reading this manuscript in person, Liu Fucheng sent a telegram to the whole country, so that all the people in the dark hall moved again to recruit soldiers for the advance army. Raise supplies for the advance army. Prepare for the upcoming big battle. He believes that in this way. The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression had begun, and it was only a matter of time before the Japanese army was defeated.
"Dong Ku has grown."
After sending the electricity, Liu Yuchang sighed and muttered.
Dong Ku's move is very beautiful, and the original passive avoidance of war will collapse when touched. The guy who preserves his strength understands one thing in front of these news, that is, escaping is also extermination, anyway, sooner or later he will die, so it is better to fight for a good capital. Fight two to earn one. And those generals who were already fighting desperately were even more enthusiastic, and the soldiers were also full of hatred and morale.
The people also understood that war is not just a matter for soldiers, they are a vulnerable group, and the Japanese army still does not let go of them who are defenseless, so in the areas that have not been captured, the people have also formed a number of non-governmental organizations to save the country in just a few hours, with the help of some well-intentioned people, to support the anti-Japanese front line and do their part to defend their homeland.
Along the Guangdong line, in Guizhou and other places, it was already known that the advance army of the Ludao Road was passing through their area, and the number of people who joined the army was transmitted by telegram, the voice of China sounded, and the moment of the march on the street, they flocked to the nearest recruiting office that had just erected a sign. People everywhere learned that the advance army had captured Hangzhou, and they donated money and materials to support the front line. A war of common hatred for the whole country was officially ignited.
And the Japanese army, after the repeated outbreaks of these unfavorable news, the pressure doubled, and the condemnation of various countries came one after another, which made the politicians there in the base camp miserable, and tried hard to quibble, claiming that it was a personal act and would be severely punished. At the same time, the ministries also urgently prepared for the coming ferocious counteroffensive.
When several points were attacked, the Japanese army was immediately busy, the troops were insufficient, and the battle line was long, and this was attacked, and the base camp suddenly felt the pressure, stopped all actions in the territory, no longer cleared, no longer rushed, and shrank their forces to defend.
The battle took place, and by the afternoon, the official battle in the theaters of operations began.
Xuzhou, after the vanguard came into contact with the Japanese army, the battle escalated. In the arrival of all troops, at most two days, the army will gather here again, and a great battle will also break out violently.
In Nanjing, Gu Zhu and the eight divisions slowly approached, ready to attack at any time, making the Japanese troops of the two divisions in Nanjing extremely nervous, building positions and turning to defense. Although they were well armed, they did not dare to make another surprise attack at this time. One is that the troops are weak and the supply lines are too long, and the other is that there are still enemy troops in Danyang. The most important thing is that the flames of war have been ignited in several places, so that the defenders of Nanjing do not dare to move a little, lest they will be involved in the whole body.
Zhang Zizhong did not hesitate at all after the vanguard fought with a wing of the Japanese army in Bengbu, and launched an attack on Xuzhou and Shangqiu at the same time.
The battle of Anyang, Xinxiang, and Shangqiu, these places all began to attack in a big way. The soldiers have realized that if there is no bloody battle, the race will be exterminated, and if there is no resistance, the species will be exterminated. They don't have too high ideals, they don't have lofty ambitions, but they still have the ancient concept of continuing the race, so the battle is extremely brave, and as soon as the war starts, there is a desperate scene on the battlefield.
And the Japanese army, in the face of the tide of offensives, except for desperate defense, counterattack can not be discussed, a position is often repeatedly contested, in a few hours, thousands of lives are thrown on the battlefield. Corpses everywhere, smoke everywhere.
The battle situation was about to get out of control, and the six divisions that were about to arrive in Shanghai could do nothing for the time being, except to hurry up at sea.
In Heilongjiang, after the attack, the Kwantung Army found that they had miscalculated the strength of the defenders there, and it was obviously unrealistic to attack a tightly defended and strong defensive line. As a result, the ministries in Central China were in an emergency. In addition to concentrating on defense, he once again dispatched troops to support Central China. At the same time, most of the puppet army divisions of North Korea were opened, and the Manchurian puppet army also rushed to Shanhaiguan. Japanese troops gathered in Rehe, Hebei, Shandong and other places. Rush to the battlefield. Let Shanxi's attack turn to a defensive position, and let Yan Laoxi, who suffered heavy losses, breathe.
At this time, for the soldiers whose combat effectiveness suddenly soared in the country, Lao Chiang saw the hope of a successful counterattack, and in a few hours after the start of the war, he mobilized the army and made additional actions and materials for various attack points. It was continuously transported to the battlefield, and made a plan to defeat the Japanese army in one fell swoop.
After Gu Zhutong completed the deployment of the attack on Nanjing, he launched the campaign against Nanjing in the enthusiastic invitation of the soldiers. Cannons, rumbling and roaring, more than a dozen T24s that had just arrived also drove into the battlefield. At the beginning of the battle, it went directly into a fierce attack, without the slightest temptation.
And the Japanese army. The planes came and went frequently, and all the fighters moved one after another at this moment. Supporting all the attacked nodes, launched an overwhelming bombardment of the national army that lacked air defense, and stabilized the precarious front.
Wuhan, all the planes took off and rushed to Nanjing, in the air. A fierce battle with the Japanese army began, another battlefield was opened, and the second largest air battle against Japan began after the Battle of Songhu.
When the war was raging, Dong Ku handed over the command of Danyang to Sun Tao. Let Sun Tao entangle the Japanese army here, at the same time, strangle with the greatest strength, do not be stingy with guns and grenades, and quickly drag down the Japanese army in the rapid attrition, so as to achieve the strategic goal of the entire division.
After arranging these, he took the guards directly interspersed, beside the enemy, and marched towards Shanghai. He had to get rid of those aircraft carriers, otherwise, the tide of battle would not go as expected. Nanjing, Danyang, the Japanese army has a steady supply from Shanghai, and it cannot be exterminated in a short period of time, and can only be strangled in continuous attrition. And the attack on Ningbo and Shanghai, with those warships and aircraft carriers, is also difficult to achieve.
After all, Shanghai is too big, and it is not possible to sneak into the inside, and the inside and outside can be quickly assaulted.
On Dong Ku's way back to Shanghai, the battle of defending Hangzhou also began.
After the 18th Division joined up with a brigade in Jiaxing, it launched an attack on Hangzhou.
Zhao Liqiang stood in the forward command headquarters, looking at the Japanese troops in the binoculars, he did not give the order to open fire. He was waiting, waiting for the lurking scouts to report on the enemy's artillery. As for the planes, he can't keep the whole of Hangzhou, it's still no problem to keep the forward positions, the follow-up anti-aircraft artillery is coming, and in three days at most, Hangzhou can be completely air defense.
The soil of the trench that had just been constructed was still wet, and the soldiers had experienced half a night of fighting, and they already had the feeling of soldiers. They clenched their guns and waited for the order to attack.
Escorted by 16 tanks, the Japanese slowly approached the forward position. They didn't come out like a tide like attacking the national army, Ushijima Sadao said that he was facing the advance army of the Kwantung Army, so he was very careful.
Zhao Liqiang watched the Japanese army slowly approaching, and he was not in a hurry at all. Although the leaders are recruits, the Qiantang River is safe, and the recruits are no longer so afraid of the explosion of artillery, and they are no longer soft on shooting, and they are slowly maturing. He was very confident that these recruits, who had been trained for a month or two, would be able to complete the defense of Hangzhou under the command and leadership of the Huya soldiers. As long as you hold on today, Liu Zhong's army will come, and the pressure will be gone.
In the trenches, the Tiger Tooth Warrior slowly brought his head closer to the scope and shouted, "Slow down your breathing, put the center point of the cross on the target's chest, and slowly pull the trigger......"
With one shout after another, a bang shot rang out, and then a dense burst of reflex thumping.
The approaching Japanese troops were suddenly shot four or five hundred meters away, and countless figures turned over and fell to the ground in the blood mist.
The tank, which also saw the fire on the front line of defense during the rumbling advance, immediately stopped, and while the machine gun spewed flames, the muzzle of the gun was aimed at the front.
At this moment, a dense cannon sound came from the rear of the opposite position, and with the whistling of shells, one shell after another flew straight towards the stopped tank.
Rumble!
One tank was hit directly, and in a cloud of fire, the turret was overturned, and thick smoke rose with it, but the tanker inside did not crawl out, apparently dead.
As the first tank was hit, a loud bang rang out one after another, and in the light of the fire, sixteen tanks were almost all hit in a second or two, and most of them were on fire.
In the explosion, in the middle of the figure, Sadao Ushijima, who was watching the battle from a distance, saw the opponent's anti-tank weapons.
"Soga ......"
Ushijima Sadao put down the binoculars and said to himself: "The Type 88 75 anti-aircraft gun can actually be used as an anti-tank gun, which is a good reform." ”
After speaking, he ordered without looking back: "Order the mortar to bombard the forward positions, and quickly transfer after one shot, so that the 92 infantry guns can supplement the fire and fire two shells to divert." Order 75 mountain artillery to prepare, ready to attack enemy artillery positions! ”
"Hayi!"
The herald holding the phone quickly conveyed the order, and then the sound of tom tom rang out.
In the excitement of hitting the enemy and seeing the enemy turn over and fall to the ground, the recruits quickly looked for the next target and continued to shoot as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
At this moment, the characteristic whimper of the mortar sounded, and then the Huya warrior shouted: "Bow your head, get down!" ”
As soon as the shouts fell, a loud bang rang out over the position, followed by dust flying into the sky and shrapnel screaming and flying.
The recruit, who was still excited just now, held his head, threw his gun aside, and crouched in the trench to avoid the shelling. Needless to say, the fear in their hearts was that this was the first time they had been shelled.
As soon as the shells fell, the impact point was captured, and then, a roar came from the mortar position behind the place, and in less than three seconds, in the explosion, the tom sound sounded, and a projectile flew up, and all the cannon barrels were still smoking, so they were picked up by the soldiers, and quickly jumped into the trench and ran towards the second position.
The Japanese were the same, as soon as the shells flew here, they began to disassemble the mortars and entered the trenches and moved to the second position. Before they were all completely withdrawn, the shells fell.
The loud bang blew away a few Japanese soldiers who had not had time to enter the trenches, blowing them up along with mortars and shells, destroying the position, although most of the mortars escaped, which also terrified the Japanese army.
Just after the explosion sounded, the sound of artillery was also heard from the 92 infantry gun.
Dense shells fell on the position, blooming everywhere on the position, blowing up countless guns, and tearing the bodies of dozens of recruits who were running in a panic and bloody.
As soon as the shells fell into the position, the mortars that had been prepared for a long time rang out again, and the mortars of the other position fired one by one, and the shells of twenty mortars flew towards the 92 infantry artillery position, and in the frightened shouts of the Japanese army, there was a boom, and the earth shook, where all were destroyed within a few tens of meters, a huge mushroom cloud rose, and the smoke enveloped the surrounding hundreds of meters.
Sadao Ushijima was overturned by the huge earthquake, and shouted without waiting to get up in shock: "Don't return fire with 75 guns!" ”
His order was quite timely, and the forward observer of the 75 gun had just reported the calculated coordinates to the position, and the order had arrived before the position had time to fire.
Although they were puzzled, how could the orders of the command be disobeyed? They all guarded the cannons, and they didn't know what was new in the road.
Hearing that the shelling did not sound, Ushijima Sadao breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did he really believe what a big Zuo in Heilongjiang told him that the artillery bombardment of the advance army was amazing, and before the artillery position was not sure to destroy the opponent's position, it was important not to expose the firepower, as long as the artillery was fired, the position would be destroyed within a few seconds, and eighty percent of it was a martyrdom.
The shelling stopped, and before the smoke cleared, the roar of the Huya soldiers continued to sound.
"Get into position! Hygienist, heal the wounded! Quick action!! ”
Amid the shouts one by one, the panicked recruits found their guns in a panic, and lay down on the trench again with dusty faces, aiming at the distance, waiting for a figure to appear.
Seeing the mess of the position, the Huya warriors were helpless. These recruits can't do it without going through two battles, but fortunately, they stick to it, and as long as this battle is over, they are warriors...... (To be continued......)
