"Baga! Chu Xiong bullies people too much. He only knows how to use planes to blow up people. This is not the job of a samurai!"
After learning about the losses at the airport and port, Lieutenant General Iida lost his composure at all, with a touch of grievance in his anger.
As soon as Lieutenant General Iida finished speaking, the harsh air defense siren sounded again. Chief of Staff Major General Isayama reflexively threw Iida down...
Outside Liangguang City, dozens of bombers, escorted by fighter jets, once again visited the sky above Liangguang. Due to the guidance of the intelligence personnel of the Snow Leopard Special Forces, the bombing of the expeditionary force aircraft group was very targeted;
All important targets of the Japanese in the city were visited. Headquarters, logistics warehouses, hospitals, artillery positions, barracks, stations, docks and other targets were all spared. The newly formed Fifth Army suffered heavy losses, which revealed to the naked eye the war potential in the city. Visibly dropped.
This was already the fourth day. There were endless air raids. Iida even suspected that Chuxiong was going to use airplanes with bayonets to solve all the battles.
From a purely military perspective, the bright light has no value in holding on, and it cannot be held at all under the indiscriminate bombardment of aircraft;
But from a political point of view, Guangguang had to be defended. The millions of troops on the southern front could not show weakness to the Chinese Expeditionary Force. After all, this was the largest port city in the Emerald Kingdom.
The order given to the 15th Army by General Terauchi, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Front, was to hold on to the light for more than a month at all costs and wait for reinforcements sent from Johor.
During the bombing of Liangguang by the Expeditionary Force Flying Detachment, the New First Army had already reached Bago along the railway from Mandalay to Liangguang and formed a confrontation with the defenders of the 16th Division;
The First Division of the New Second Army set out from Magui to lightly capture Pimai, and launched an attack on Libotan, which was heavily defended by the Japanese 56th Division. Both sides suffered casualties.
The New Third Army was deployed in Myitkyla to guard against the Japanese 33rd Army of the Asan Kingdom, while the Independence Army guarded Mandalay.
Chu Xiong's counterattack was very patient. He was ready to bomb Guangguang City for a week. Anyway, someone was paying the bill, so he didn't feel bad at all.
Stevie was the first to lose his temper. It wasn't that he felt sorry for the supplies, but he simply thought the progress was too slow. He went to Chu Xiong and said angrily:
"Old Chu, are you planning to spend Christmas in Liangguang? There's still half a year left! According to intelligence, the Japanese Southern Army is mobilizing troops to support Liangguang, including the Guards Division."
When Chu Xiong heard about the Guards Division, his eyes lit up. If the annihilation of the Sixth Division would make Yuren furious, then the annihilation of the Guards Division would definitely make him vomit blood. Of course, this was just a thought. The old devil in the temple will not take risks with the Guards Division.
"Old Shi, if the old devil in the temple dares to send the Guards Division to Liangguang, I will burn high incense for him!
The current bright light is a dead ground. No matter how many troops come, they are just serving food. If the bright light can be turned into a meat grinder and then eliminate several main Japanese divisions, it will be of great benefit to the expeditionary force and Yingjiang. good thing. "
After being reminded by Chu Xiong, Shi Diwei suddenly realized that he was indeed the Tiger of China, so sinister!
After understanding Chu Xiong's intention, Steve asked excitedly:
"Chu, do you still need me to bring in some more supplies?"
Chu Xiong likes Lao Shi's arrogance in using materials to speak for himself, but he is still very measured. Everything must be done step by step. Being too greedy will be counterproductive. If you have strength, are you afraid that you will not get benefits in exchange?
Chu Xiong shook his head and said:
"There is no rush, the Japanese are not stupid, Johor will increase troops for Liang Guang, and there are two channels: land and sea;
The Liangguang Military Port has been blown to pieces by us. There are sunken ships everywhere in the military port, making it impossible to get in;
The land passage is very narrow, which is not conducive to large-scale troop movements. One or two divisions come just to deliver food, and the supply lines for three or five divisions are too narrow and long, which is courting death.
The Emerald Country is not the focus of the Southern Army. The current light is just a useless thing. It is tasteless and a pity to abandon. If it were me, even the Fifth Division and the Sixteenth Regiment would be withdrawn. Johor and Java This is the battleground for the Southern Army. "
"Chu, if the attack takes too long, will Guangguang's four divisions run away?"
"Old Shi, it depends on whether I agree or not. The Fifth Division and the Sixteenth Division have committed numerous blood debts in China, especially the Sixteenth Division, which is also one of the chief culprits in Jinling. Once you come, don't even think about leaving. !
The reason why I haven't sent troops to occupy Bilin City in the Strait Corridor yet is because I still hope that the Japanese can send more reinforcements, even a division. "
"Old Shi, no matter how few mosquito legs you have, they are still meat!"
Steve admired Chu Xiong so much that a Japanese division was like a mosquito's legs in his mouth, and there were not even a few in the entire Allied Forces.
"Chu, it's bad luck for the devils to meet you!"
Stevie gave Chu Xiong a rare compliment.
The bright bombing lasted for seven days, and the supplies consumed were simply astronomical. Still, Steve didn't even frown, and neither did Chu Xiong!
Bago, the division headquarters of the 16th Division, gathered together with generals and
Lieutenant General Morioka Gao was organizing a campaign deployment meeting for officers above the regimental commander level. Chief of Staff Colonel Makino Goro had just introduced the enemy situation. Colonel Kato Shimomoto, captain of the 20th regiment, said disdainfully:
"Makino-kun, you are too ambitious for others and destroy your own prestige. Our 16th Division once attacked the Jinling City in China. The reputation of killing a hundred people was even on the headlines of the Asahi News and was praised by His Majesty the Emperor;
Our Heng Division has made great achievements in battle. Whether in China or in the South, we must win every battle and conquer every attack. There is no enemy that the Heng Division cannot defeat!
The New First Army of China is indeed a powerful force. Our Heng Division is fighting against a powerful Chinese force. This time we will definitely cover the battlefield with Chinese corpses. "
Goro Ono was a bit embarrassed by Colonel Kato's words. Lieutenant General Morioka came out to smooth things over in order to resolve the embarrassment of the Chief of Staff:
"Yoshi, Kato-kun's bravery was praised by His Majesty the Emperor in the Battle of Jinling. Our Sixteenth Division is the first-class elite of the empire. This task of spearheading the Chinese people will be left to you. I hope Kato Jun and the 20th Regiment will fight our Heng Division's mountains of corpses and seas of blood, making the Chinese New First Army tremble when they hear the news of our 16th Division..."
The new First Army headquarters is also filled with stars and murderous intent.
“For the Sixteenth Division, we don’t need any prisoners!
When the 16th Division marched into Jinling City, Second Lieutenant Takeshi Noda and Second Lieutenant Toshiaki Mukai of the Third Battalion of the Ninth Regiment of the Division made an appointment to see who could kill 100 people with a Japanese sword first when they arrived at Jinling.
After that, the two beasts began to massacre my compatriots, many of whom were unarmed people. When they arrived outside Jinling City, Noda Takeshi killed 105 people, and Mukai Toshiaki killed 106 people.
At that time, the Japanese newspapers publicized their bestiality, and they were not ashamed of it, but rather proud of it;
After entering Jinling City, the division commander Nakajima Kongo ordered the massacre of civilians and prisoners of war who laid down their weapons. They committed numerous crimes that outraged both humans and gods. No less than 100,000 Chinese people were killed by them. The 16th Division was more powerful than the 6th Division. Beast, there is no innocent Japanese in the Sixteenth Division!
God opened his eyes and allowed our new army to meet them. This time we must be like Mandalay, not one of them can be spared! "
"kill!"
Dozens of people in the headquarters roared with murderous intent, reaching into the sky!
