After the Chinese Expeditionary Force captured Yuanshan, they continued to attack the Japanese in other areas;
The previous fires caused huge damage to the defenders. After losing the two commanding heights of Mount Suribachi and Motoyama, the Japanese had no chance of defending Iwo Jima.
Even so, they did not give up resistance. They still hid in the tunnels and fought recklessly, causing many casualties to the National Salvation Army in charge of the attack.
But such resistance was a desperate struggle. The National Salvation Army used brigade units to clear out areas. They worked hard one hard bone after another. It took another three days to clean up the remaining enemies on the island without capturing a single prisoner.
At the Expeditionary Force Headquarters, Chu Xiong, who had been waiting for news about Iwo Jima, finally received the news he had been waiting for for a long time. As soon as he saw Zhong Guoliang's expression, he knew that Iwo Jima should have been chewed off.
"Lao Chu, there is an urgent call from the front line. After a week of fierce fighting, the 1st Marine Brigade and the National Salvation Army finally captured Iwo Jima and wiped out all the defenders on the island.
This time the National Salvation Army also fought very tenaciously. They fought head-on with the Japanese on the island and annihilated all the defenders on the island at the cost of more than 8,000 casualties, but did not capture a single prisoner. "
After hearing this, Chu Xiong said:
"It doesn't matter whether we capture the prisoners or not. We have to fight the Japanese homeland. The prisoners can have as many as they want!"
As long as they can capture it, Iwo Jima is a tough island. This time Sekigahara and the others fought very well. They must be commended. All officers will be promoted to one rank. Each person will be rewarded with 2 eagle dollars. Officers will be rewarded with double that. Each wounded person will receive 5 yuan. 10 yuan for each person killed in action;
You can't just tell the horses to run without letting them eat grass, and then expect them to take the lead later.
Notify the Iwo Jima troops to rest in place for a week and dispatch troops to the Ryukyu Islands and Yizhou in 7 days;
After coordinating with General Stevie, Yingjiang sent a transport ship to transport the first and second divisions of the New First Army to Liusu Island, preparing to attack Yizhou with the first marine brigade.
The Ryukyu Islands were handed over to the National Salvation Army and the New Second Army, and the navy was notified to transport the New Sixth Division and the New Seventh Division of the New Second Army to Iwo Jima, while the New Eighth Division stayed in Luzon.
Order the air force to start bombing the Japanese garrison on the Ryukyu Islands from now on. Do not use incendiary bombs this time to minimize the casualties of the people on the islands;
Coordinate the Taika Navy to launch the first phase of the Ryukyu Campaign, and first use the navy and air force to bomb the military facilities stationed on the island..."
Following Chu Xiong's call, the coalition forces began to attack the Ryukyu Islands and Yizhou simultaneously, not giving the Japanese any chance to breathe.
Hua Xia and Taika's attack on the Ryukyu Islands started with air strikes. When densely packed planes appeared over Ryukyu, Yukito finally no longer had any illusions.
He immediately ordered the Chinese dispatched troops to sign an armistice agreement with Shuzhong. In order to fool Yingjiang and the Chinese people, they also held a hall meeting.
First, Shuzhong issued a call to launch a full-scale counterattack against the Japanese, calling on 2 million national troops to launch a counterattack against all Japanese in the area;
Immediately afterwards, the Kuomintang troops in Central China, South China, East China and the Central Plains First Theater launched a fierce counterattack against the Japanese almost simultaneously.
The Japanese pretended to be in trouble and retreated in large strides. The Chinese army followed behind and took over the territory in an orderly manner. They declared to the outside world that the country was naturally recovered, and good news came frequently!
The national government's good news came one after another. The Japanese were defeated by the national army and the reputation of Shu was at its peak.
"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, the Ninth War Zone of the National Government will recover the just-lost Star City and annihilate 30,000 enemies!"
"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, great news. The Sixth and Ninth War Zones of the national government have sent millions of troops to launch a counterattack against the Japanese in Central China and drive the Japanese 11th Army out of Jiangcheng!"
"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers, Hongdu has been liberated, Yangcheng has been liberated, the government's 2 million elites have counterattacked across the board, and the Japanese are about to be driven out of China!"
"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers, Jinling was restored, Wang Zhaoming completed the great cause of saving the country in a curve, led the Jinling government's 500,000 troops to drive the Japanese out of Jinling, and called on the national government to return the capital to Jinling from Sichuan as soon as possible, and discuss the status of the country..."
In just half a month, reports of victory in the Chinese battlefield spread rapidly. Millions of Japanese soldiers were routed thousands of miles away, from Central China, the Central Plains, and South China to East China. The Kuomintang army could recover a city with one division, one regiment, or even one battalion.
The sudden attack by the Kuomintang army made the Chinese people ecstatic, and they took to the streets to celebrate the victory;
More and more people are clamoring to join the Kuomintang army, and the queues at the recruitment points are endless.
Compared with the large-scale opening and closing of the Kuomintang army, the counterattack of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army was much lower-key. They did not occupy big cities, but occupied small counties and vast rural areas that the Kuomintang would look down on for a while.
The Central Plains Military Region developed into the vast rural areas of the Jianghuai region, and its base area also expanded a lot.
Almost all the Japanese-occupied areas north of the river were occupied by the North China Military Region. Except for some large and medium-sized cities in the Central Plains Province, the vast mountainous areas and rural areas were recovered by the Eighth Route Army of the Central Plains Military Region.
The Kuomintang army accepted the Jinling government's advice, and Wang Zhaoming, a great traitor, suddenly became an important official of the Kuomintang. In this regard, Shuzhong had no bottom line.
Franklin was a little shocked by the sudden bravery of the Kuomintang army, but this was something he was happy to see, so he immediately sent a congratulatory message to Shuzhong and said that he could postpone the alliance meeting for a month and wait for the Chinese to drive all the Japanese into the sea. We will hold another meeting after recovering all of China.
As more and more big cities were recovered, Shuzhong's reputation was at its peak, overshadowing Chuxiong and the Chinese Expeditionary Force. After all, in the hearts of the Chinese people, the eighteen provinces within the Guan Guan were the essence of China. The islands in the North and South China Sea are all outside China, and they are not even the slightest bit worse than those within the Pass.
When Gu Mosan's troops from the Third Theater Command made a high-profile announcement to regain Shencheng, the counterattack led by the government was pushed to a climax. Compared with such great news, the new expeditionary force's new army regained Yizhou and Qiongya. The two Chinese islands have no real cards.
The Japanese dispatched troops to China all withdrew from China and used transport ships to withdraw all from East China to Ryukyu and the mainland.
The entire territory of China was recovered, but the number of Japs eliminated was very limited. It was more likely that the Japs had withdrawn on their own initiative, but this is no longer important;
For the Chinese people, driving the Japanese out of Chinese territory is the greatest victory, and the whole country celebrates!
"Victory, we are victorious!"
Hundreds of millions of Chinese soldiers and civilians cheered heartily, with loud gongs and drums, and firecrackers blasting. Countless people took to the streets to celebrate this rare victory.
Thousands of miles away, above the ocean, the Chinese Expeditionary Force was also celebrating China's recovery and suspended its attack on the Ryukyu Islands for three days.
Chu Xiong, the commander of the expeditionary force, showed a rare act of generosity and gave each soldier half a catty of wine and a catty of meat. The entire army had a day off to celebrate the victory.
At this time, who will care whether the war is a tacit understanding or not? As long as the Japanese soldiers withdraw from the land of China, this will be the greatest victory, a victory that belongs to the entire Chinese people. Even overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese are cheering for the victory of the motherland;
The whole nation has been resisting the war for more than six years. They have donated money and materials overseas. Countless Chinese and overseas Chinese have returned to the country to participate in the war, and blood has been shed on the country. Victory belongs to all descendants of the dragon.
On this day, Chu Xiong, Zhong Guoliang and others got drunk in Luzon;
On this day, Yang Wei and all the staff of Taihang Investment Company were drunk in Yingjiang. It is said that Franklin sent a team of soldiers to stand guard for them to prevent bad guys from disturbing their rest;
On this day, countless Chinese people were drunk on the battlefield, and countless people were drunk in front of their ancestors’ graves——
Wang Shibei set the Central Plains Day, and he did not forget to tell Nai Weng about family sacrifices...
