Just when Gao Dong led the Sky Wolf Commando to deal with the Japanese in the Dabie Mountains, a big battle had quietly kicked off in Wuhan, which was hundreds of kilometers away.Please search and read the most complete and updated novels The First Army and the Second Army of the Southern Army had arrived here the day before, and they had been waiting for Gao Dong's final offensive order.However, there was no news from the rear for a long time, and Hu Xinghanhe only lost contact with the Third Army after receiving the information that the Third Army had successfully ambushed and won a complete victory.After a whole night, it was decided that we could not wait any longer.He was older than Hu Xinghan and more decisive, so the two troops were temporarily under his command, and they went all out to capture Wuhan, and raided their old nest before the Japanese reinforcements arrived.There were almost 30,000 devils guarding the city of Wuhan, consisting of a division and a large number of Japanese soldiers who had fled here.Originally, there were still two divisions of the puppet army, but these wall grasses were secretly withdrawn through the Yangtze River before the Independence Army besieged the city.And all the ships were requisitioned very unjustly, and the generals who defended the city of the devils scolded these useless wastes, and they just walked by themselves, and cut off their retreat.Now the army is pressing, and the city of Wuhan is surrounded on three sides.The devils have no way out, unless they collectively jump off the Yangtze River to be the king, there is no way to escape at all.Before dawn came, he reconnoitred the Japanese defense line outside Wuhan and ordered Yang Jihong's artillery command to bombard these areas intensively to clear the way for the army to attack and pull out the fangs of the devils.From night to dawn, and from dawn to noon.The defense line arranged by the devils outside Wuhan City has completely become a scorched earth, and a large number of devils have poured into Wuhan City, but more devils have fallen under the artillery fire of the People's Liberation Army, and they have never seen the blue sky of the future.By noon, the rain that had been going on for several days suddenly intensified.With the howling wind, the devils in Wuhan City seemed to have fallen into the end of the world, and the city was full of panicked running troops, and some of the devil officers were panicked with the troops, and they were sad all day long.In the headquarters of the Wuhan Dispatch Army, the senior officers who remained here urgently held a military meeting.The artillery fire outside the city rumbled, and their faces were full of bitterness, and everyone knew that as soon as the artillery fire outside stopped, the PLA would immediately attack.But they would never have thought that their ideas were only considered according to the thinking of the Japanese army in normal combat.And the one who commanded the battle outside was a famous general of the People's Liberation Army.He didn't wait for the artillery fire to stop before attacking, the devils were just daydreaming."
Everyone, please hurry up and find a way to get out" A devil general hurriedly turned around the room, and couldn't stop at all: "In just one morning's shelling, we lost nearly 5,000 people.Now the defenders of the city have no intention of fighting at all, and the shameful Imperial Allied army has all fled.We are fighting alone, and we can't even hold it today, how can we wait for the rescue of Chief Shunroku Hatata. ”"I heard that the two divisions that came with the fastest reinforcements were all wiped out and all died at the hands of the People's Liberation Army.If it rains heavily today and the roads are muddy, when the large troops from Henan arrive at us, I am afraid that our corpses will have been crushed and scattered by the People's Liberation Army," another major general lamented in a similar manner."
The troops in the city have no fighting spirit at all, and many are thinking of surrendering.I heard that the People's Liberation Army does not kill prisoners, it is better to "the room is full of words about surrendering, these remaining devil officers are basically logistics personnel of the dispatch army headquarters, although there are many high-ranking officials such as generals, but they are not the material to go to the front line to fight."
At this moment, when you encounter danger, the first thing you think about is your own life.A major general who had been sitting in the corner silently suddenly stood up, coldly glanced at the devil senior officers in the room who were not shy about talking about surrender, and shouted angrily: "Are you still considered soldiers of the empire Our soldiers are working the front line and have suffered heavy casualties, but you don't want to hold Wuhan, but you think about how to quickly kneel down and surrender in front of that person, you really lose face of the Japanese Imperial Army." ”"General Riverside, you are the commander of the combat unit.Then tell me, how long can Wuhan hold and wait for the rescue of Commander Shunroku Hatata" Hearing the angry rebuke of this major general called Hebian, a major general staff officer from the headquarters of the dispatch army looked at him coldly and said.Hebian Masaichi was suddenly stunned by the question, he was the commander of the combat unit left behind in Wuhan, and of course he knew the current situation.With the negligible strength of the Japanese army in Wuhan, it was impossible to confront the heavily armed PLA.Not to mention fighting for two days, I can't even hold out for half a day.They didn't even have a handful of artillery, let alone other fire support weapons.Is it just relying on infantry to defend the city, I'm afraid it won't be enough to plug the teeth of the PLA.But Kawabe Masaichi raised his head unruly, glared at the major general who questioned him, and said, "No matter what, we can't surrender."
The dignified Imperial Japanese Army can only die in battle, where has your firm will gone, have you given all your determination to serve the emperor to the dogs?"
Kawabe Shoichi's roar did not receive any reply, but in exchange for endless ridicule.At this time, everyone is saving their lives, and who has the time to pay attention to the foolish loyalty of this fool.Kawabe Masaichi angrily walked out of the headquarters, he had to defend the city alone, in order to repay Shunroku Hata for his cultivation and allegiance to his most beloved emperor.Ten minutes later, he returned to his city defense headquarters and immediately gathered his subordinates.A group of trembling devil officers came to his headquarters, all of them with bitter faces, some of them with twinkling eyes, obviously absent-minded.Kawabe Masaichi ignored them and shouted, "The time has come to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, you are all soldiers of the Empire, and you should die for the noble cause of the Empire."
Today, the People's Liberation Army has hit the city, I ask you to lead the army to defend the city, and do not allow the People's Liberation Army to step into the city for half a step" "Even if you fight to the last man, you must hold Wuhan and wait for the return of Commander Shunroku Hatata, you understand that if anyone dares to escape or surrender in battle, shoot immediately" Kawabe Masaichi roared angrily like a lion with crazy hair."
Hai" A group of devils replied weakly, and under the obscenity of Kawabe Shoichi, they had to submit.However, some of them obviously have the wrong eyes, and they seem to be saying, you stupid fool will die if you want to, why do you drag us to the funeral together.However, the Japanese army is highly hierarchical, and even if there is a complaint, it can only rot in the stomach.If you say it, you might be beheaded on the spot."
Go ahead, the attack of the People's Liberation Army is imminent, and I hope you can all keep His Majesty the Emperor in mind.As long as we keep His Majesty in mind at all times, we will be able to win, and he will bless us. ”Kawabe Shoichi's face was full of piety, as if the emperor had become a god, and suddenly he sat cross-legged on top of his head, pointing at his forehead with a smile on his face.The movement of the army in the city began in an emergency, and countless troops were thrown into the fortifications of the city.Kawabe Shoichi's purpose is obvious, since the position outside the city has been lost, then defend the inside of the city.Even if it is a street fight, it is necessary to drag the PLA to the death.At two o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Jihong's artillery unit was ordered to stop the intensive shelling and switch to fire assistance and artillery bombardment.Because he was ready to command the troops to start the attack, he had to allow the troops to launch an attack in a safe situation, and they must not be injured by their own artillery fire.Just as he was about to order the troops to attack on all fronts, news suddenly came that a large group of Japanese had taken the initiative to leave the city and surrender.was stunned for a moment, and then went to the front of the position with Hu Xinghan in person.Before he could get closer, he saw a large group of Japanese soldiers kneeling on the ground, their weapons already piled aside, and everyone's face showed a look of pleading.Leading the way was a group of devil officers, of whom the highest rank was five or six major generals.and Hu Xinghan looked at each other and smiled, it seems that their military deterrence still played a lot of roles, at least they scared these cowards into surrendering.The major general who ordered to bring a devil asked sharply: "How many troops are there in the city, why don't they surrender" The devil major general trembled with fright, and under the gaze of those torch-like eyes, he actually had the urge to kneel.He trembled for a long time before he said: "The city is now under the command of Major General Masaichi Riverbe, and he ordered the troops to resist stubbornly to the end, and it is not like your army to surrender.However, most of the troops in the city are no longer ready to fight, and if you attack, many people will definitely surrender. ”Wave his hand to let him fuck off, what this guy knows is of little use, and he doesn't bother to talk to these people."
Mr.
Lin, this guy is a good man.Not only did he surrender himself, but he also gave you a good idea to occupy Wuhan," Hu Xinghan said with a smile.Looking at the direction of Wuhan, he snorted coldly: "The devils in Wuhan are already at the end of their crossbows, and many of them escaped from the cities we recovered along the way.They have become frightened birds, and when they hear that we are going to attack, they are naturally afraid to death. ”"Let's attack," Hu Xinghan asked with a smile.Haha laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "I said Lao Hu, you have long wanted to attack, as you wish, half an hour later, your first army is responsible for attacking the left and right sides, and the second army is mainly on the front, let's see you in Wuhan City" The two hands were clasped together, laughed and separated, and each went to command the troops to start the attack.Half an hour later, the First and Second Armies collectively launched an attack on Wuhan.The three divisions of the First Army struck the left and right flanks of Wuhan like tigers and wolves, and the cavalry supported them in the rear, ready to rush into the city at any time.The Second Army, with the opening of tank and self-propelled artillery units, approached the front of Wuhan.Tens of thousands of troops descended like thunder and smashed into Wuhan AA2705221 in the storm:
