When a new round of red sun rises from the east, more than a dozen thick barrels of the Guizishan Artillery Brigade are also slowly rising. The Yamada Brigade finally cannot help but launch an attack. Time is running out for them. Equally valuable.
"Brigadier, to the east, the enemy's fleet!"
The sharp-eyed Xie Zhongyuan was the first to discover the Japanese aircraft fleet, which was heading towards Kunshan City with murderous intent. Aircraft and cannons, the Japanese attacks were always so simple and crude. When the strength reached the crushing advantage, all tactics could become Simple and direct.
Continuous air defense whistles sounded in the city, and everyone got into the tunnels dug in advance. In the two precious days that the reconnaissance company bought for the lone brigade, they dug a large number of air defense tunnels in the city. The command headquarters also It was dug under a rockery. Not to mention the 100-kilogram aerial bomb of the Japanese, it would be no problem even if it was replaced by the 500-pound heavy aerial bomb of the later period of Yingjiang.
"Brigadier, get down to the tunnel quickly!"
"Lao Xie, what's the hurry? We're still far away."
Although Luo Ying said it lightly, his speed in getting into the headquarters tunnel was no slower than Xie Zhongyuan's. There was no iron in his head, so there was no need to compete with the Japanese's aircraft.
Shortly after Luo Ying and others got into the tunnel, the Japs' fleet flew into the sky above Kunshan City and dropped a series of bombs like an old hen pooping. In an instant, the entire city was enveloped in the smoke and dust from the explosion. Explosions were heard one after another, countless houses were swallowed up by the explosions, the whole city was shaking under the bombing of the Japanese, and the wealth accumulated over hundreds of years was destroyed in one fell swoop...
For a county town, the Japanese can dispatch more than 20 aircraft at one time to carry out key bombings, which shows that they attach great importance to the lone army brigade, but it can only help so much. There are many places where aircraft support is needed for the decisive battle of hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line. , the rest is up to the 103rd Brigade itself.
"Yo Xi, the imperial army's air power is really powerful. Now I really want to know how many people Luo Ying and the others will have left after this round of bombing. Using air power to crush them is quite a bit of a win."
Seeing Kunshan City being blown into a sea of flames, Major General Yamada was obviously in a good mood and began to act cool again. He was really a master who cared not only about food but also about fighting.
Chief of Staff Kazuo Kamei also said cooperatively:
"What the general said is absolutely true. Under the powerful air power and artillery fire of the imperial army, from North China to East China, there is no one in the dozens of cities large and small that can be defended. It is as strong as Ping, Tian, Taiyuan and Shen. Even a huge city like Kunshan City was easily captured by the imperial army, let alone a small Kunshan City. Sometimes Xiaguan really wonders, how can Luo Ying have the confidence to defend Kunshan City?"
Yamada said proudly:
"It's probably because the good fortune of Sihang Warehouse gave him the illusion! Sihang Warehouse was a special case. It was backed by the Suzhou River Concession. In order not to cause international disputes, the imperial army did not use powerful air power and heavy artillery, which gave him an advantage. , I really thought that my Thirteenth Division was a vegetarian, this time let them experience the anger of my Thirteenth Division!
Order the mountain artillery brigade to fire! "
This is not Major General Yamada's arrogance. He is confident. Following his order, the 16 75mm mountain guns of the Mountain Artillery Brigade, which had been prepared for a long time, launched a fierce bombardment at Kunshan City, focusing on the south city wall. ;
The gate of Nancheng had long been destroyed by the war, and it was impossible to deploy troops at a small gate. The Japanese wanted to blow up the entire city wall so that their troops could be deployed. He was ready to take Kunshan City in one go, so that Without delay, they would continue to participate in the attack on Jinling City. It was the capital of the Chinese people in the Millennium Empire. It was the lifelong wish of all the people in the Foot Pot Chicken. It meant supreme glory, and he naturally did not want to miss it.
The artillery shells carried by the Japanese were very sufficient, so the bombardment was very fierce. The bombardment lasted for more than two hours. The dilapidated south city wall was almost razed to the ground. The city wall was not destroyed. Looking at it, it was all ruins. If If there are defenders on it, it will be almost impossible to survive.
Yamada held up a telescope and observed the southern city wall that had been blown into ruins from a distance. He nodded with great satisfaction and said:
"Yo Xi, this refers to the power of the imperial army and the low spirit of the imperial army in conquering China. For two thousand years, the Chinese have relied on strong city walls to block the invasion of northern nomads and occupied the best land in the world. Calling itself the Kingdom of Heaven, it is high and high;
Now the city wall that they are proud of is vulnerable to the powerful artillery fire of the imperial army. This thousand-year empire will soon be trampled under the feet of the imperial army.
I thought that there could only be one superpower in the East, and that was the Foot Pot Chicken. The Chinese people only assigned me and my tribe as serfs. I have to admit that their farming skills are pretty good, which is what I and my tribe need. "
Major General Yamada's words exposed the ambition of the Touton Chickens. They invaded China again to destroy China and make the entire Chinese nation their slaves;
"General, Senior Tanaka said it well. If you want to conquer China, you must first conquer Manchuria and Mongolia. If you want to conquer the world, you must first conquer Manchuria and Mongolia. Conquering China is just the starting point. The goal of the empire is to conquer the world. My clan and I must stand on top of the world. , everyone must worship me and my tribe.”
"Yo Xi, then my target for the 103rd Brigade is to conquer Kunshan City first. Mr. Kamei, inform the warriors of the 65th Regiment that they can enter the city. I will give them a chance to get up;
Let them enter the city, kill all the Chinese in the city, and then take back the flag of the 65th Regiment so that they can stand up again. Don't say that I didn't give them a chance. "
Yamada still hopes that the 65th Regiment can be restored to its organizational structure. Only in this way can the organization of the 103rd Brigade be preserved. Without the organizational structure of the brigade, it has nothing to do with Toutonji even if he conquers the world. He is just a retired old man.
Lieutenant Colonel Uye Kazuo accepted the order excitedly. He was full of confidence in capturing Kunshan City. He also believed that the 65th Wing would definitely realize its shame and then succeed.
Outside the south city, Major Miyamoto, the captain of the 65th Regiment's first battalion, had a murderous look on his face. He finally deceived Colonel Ryojia and sent them to the front line to have a party. He didn't expect to come and stay at the Regiment Headquarters. There was a problem. The most terrible thing was the Regiment Flag. Having been snatched away by the lone army, the useless Colonel Ryokkaku wanted to trick Amaterasu when he saw them. If they couldn't get the alliance flag back, they would all have to stay with Colonel Ryokkaku.
The 65th Regiment has not yet been restored to form. They are now dead soldiers without status, and the glory of the empire has nothing to do with them;
He originally thought that this would be the end of his life and that he would never be able to stand up again. His biggest extravagant wish was to die in the Long Live Charge against Jinling City, so that he could at least enter the Yasukuni Ghost Society after death.
Unexpectedly, Amaterasu's blessing gave him and the dead soldiers of the 65th Regiment another chance to be reborn. Their biggest enemies, Luo Ying and the Gujun Brigade, were right in front of them. As long as they were eliminated and the regiment flag was taken back, they would be alive. , this is their only chance;
Moreover, the division commander also completed the organizational structure for them. Although they were all Koreans whom he had disdained before, this was the best result. Major General Yamada assigned him to temporarily command these dead soldiers of the 65th Regiment. Once The 65th Wing was restored, and he might even get a blessing in disguise and be promoted to another level. Thinking of this, he shouted excitedly:
"Warriors, your majesty has given us a chance to make up for our mistakes. Our 65th regiment's life-and-death enemy Luo Ying and the lone army are in the city. Although they have been upgraded to a lone army, their strength has not increased. Under the powerful artillery fire of the army, heavy losses had been suffered;
Your Majesty the General ordered us to go into the city, kill all the Chinese people, and take back our alliance flag, so that we can be reborn.
This battle is a turnaround for our 65th Regiment. I am invincible and there is no way out. Either kill all the Chinese people or die in the city. I will attack with you and kill the chickens! "
Li Conghai also shouted excitedly after hearing what Major Miyamoto said. He is from Korea. Major Miyamoto has promised them that as long as they successfully capture Kunnan City, they will become real warriors of the imperial army and allow them to change their surname. , he had already thought about it. In order to thank Major Miyamoto for his fatherly care for them, he decided to change his name to Miyamoto Conghai;
A noble name, bid farewell to the lowly status of a stick. When Major Miyamoto gave the order to charge, Li Conghai held the 38 rifle in his hand and rushed towards Kunshan City shouting the slogan "Long Live the Emperor". It was the place where he dreamed.
"Itaiya!"
