The Battle of Kyoto fully proved that in the face of absolute firepower, the human wave tactic is to kill people. It is tantamount to wishful thinking to rely on 100 million jade fragments to block the coalition's landing.
Under saturation bombing from the air and large-caliber naval guns, the millions of Japs gathered in the Kyoto area collapsed before the coalition forces landed;
The 60,000-strong troops of the Second Group of the Expeditionary Force successfully landed from multiple ferries and encountered almost no decent resistance.
Seeing that the Chinese army had easily completed the landing, the 1st Marine Division of Yingjiang Marine Corps also began to select landing sites for landing;
In just one day, the coalition forces completely defeated Army Group Central, killing and capturing more than 600,000 Japanese soldiers, and all other Japanese soldiers were defeated;
Those Japanese who didn't even receive military uniforms threw away their weapons and hid among the civilians. No one could tell clearly which ones were soldiers and which ones were civilians.
The Second Group Army was divided into three groups to attack the urban area of Kyoto. They finally encountered decent resistance in front of the position close to the urban area. This was also the last elite group of the Japanese, with about 800,000 people, almost all from China. Withdrawn.
They built a large number of civil fortifications and adopted the tactics of intensive defense in an attempt to prevent the coalition forces from entering Kyoto.
When Yan Haoyu, the commander-in-chief of the Second Group Army, found out, he said to several army commanders with a cruel smile:
"Comrades, we are worried that we cannot find them to take revenge. Previously in China, we were afraid of causing too much harm to our fellow villagers, so we allowed them to withdraw from China easily;
At that time, Lao Chu said that if the monks could escape, they would not be able to escape from the temple. When we hit their chicken coop, all of them would be tempted to escape!
The shabby fortifications they built were nothing compared to the Wei Shen artillery group.
Concentrate all the Wei Shen cannons and use them to blast him! "
Yan Haoyu's mobilization order is still so simple and crude, but it sounds relieving, and there is not so much nonsense about the Japanese, it is just "blow the hell out of you!"
Following Yan Haoyu's order, more than 300 Weishen artillery pieces of the Second Army lined up in a row, bombarding the Japanese positions indiscriminately. Each round covered the ground with more than 2,000 130mm rockets. Human life is as fragile as paper in front of steel.
There are only a few people left to cover a division. With the Yingjiang Yuansu ship transporting artillery shells, the expeditionary force does not worry about running out of artillery shells. Any transport ship of several thousand tons is enough for them to build with all their strength.
Now the artillery preparations of the expeditionary force are no longer calculated in rounds, but in hours. Yan Haoyu ordered a direct bombardment for two hours, delivering hundreds of thousands of artillery shells to the Japanese positions;
On average, three or five Japs can receive one shot. This density of bombardment caused a devastating blow to the Japs who used the human sea tactic.
Inside the Japs headquarters, old Japs Okamura's hair turned gray overnight, and his previously straight waist became very rickety. Bad news from the front line came to the command headquarters one by one. Either an army was completely wiped out, or a vital position was lost. Tens of thousands of casualties, etc., already numb.
The situation of Tufeiyuan is not much better. Their mentality has also collapsed and they cannot accept the reality that their country is about to be destroyed. A few years ago, they were still dreaming of conquering the world with high spirits, but the war situation reversed too quickly for them to react.
Old Japanese Okamura is one of the few wise men in Takumi. His biggest pain is that he can see Takumi's future. Unlike Yuto, who is still living in a dream. He mustered up his energy and said to General Doi Madoka:
"Dohi Madoka-kun, stop fighting and surrender to the Chinese!
If the fight continues, everyone will be dead. With Yingjiang here, they will not allow the Chinese to massacre the prisoners;
Don't you see?
The Chinese are using the name of war to massacre the chickens with dense artillery. We cannot give them a chance. "
"Okamura-kun, Your Majesty will not agree to our surrender to China!"
"Mr. Dohei Yuanjun, I will not accept the fate of the foreign king. We are now responsible for the entire He clan and want to prevent it from being exterminated by the Chinese people. We can no longer control him;
Immediately order all ministries to surrender to the enemy in front of you, be quick! "
Seeing that Okamura had made up his mind, Doi Madoka said no more and followed the order.
After the artillery preparations of the Second Army were completed, the infantry began to attack, and the progress was very smooth, as if it was overwhelming;
Many Japs launched suicidal attacks on the Chinese Expeditionary Force. They held various weapons high, shouted slogans, and rushed towards the Expeditionary Force crazily, and were then eliminated by the Expeditionary Force's gun array.
The corpses of Japanese soldiers littered the fields, and rivers of blood flowed...
As Okamura's order was conveyed to all troops, many division commanders and regiment commanders were unwilling to accept this reality and led their troops to launch a suicidal charge against the Chinese Expeditionary Force;
Their madness scares the Chinese people. This nation is too perverted, so the best way to deal with them is to use guns and cannons to eliminate them all. The dead Japanese are the good Japanese.
There were not many Japanese who were really willing to surrender. They would rather die in battle, so they rushed in groups into the hail of bullets from the Chinese, and were beaten into sieves one by one.
Such Japs are the favorites of the soldiers of the Expeditionary Force. All they need to do is shoot them and eliminate them. Those who surrender are troublesome. There are many journalists accompanying the army in the army, so they should not go too far.
One day later, the Fourth Army landed on several other beaches on the continent, and the Japanese were completely defeated;
A week later, 300,000 troops from China landed in Toutonji. Together with the troops from the Toutonji National Salvation Army and the Yingjiang 1st Marine Division, a total of 500,000 troops successfully completed the landing.
The hundreds of thousands of troops were divided into more than a dozen groups, like sheep like wolves, smashing the defense lines of millions of Japanese to pieces, killing the Japanese so much that they couldn't even organize a decent resistance.
Although the population of Takumi is large, its territory is not large and there is no strategic depth. Under the combined attack of the Chinese Expeditionary Army, they quickly lost Kyushu, Shikoku, and Hokkaido, leaving only the main continent. Destruction is only a matter of time.
In the Demon Palace, Yuren finally recognized the reality. His so-called 100 million pieces of jade was just a joke. The army of tens of millions of people was improvised and was wiped out in just half a month;
At least more than 3 million people were wiped out, and more than 1 million people chose to surrender. Most of the others were defeated, leaving only hundreds of thousands of garrison troops in Kyoto. They refused to carry out the orders of the old Japanese Okamura and vowed to defend Yuren to the death.
There were more than 200,000 troops surrounding Kyoto, and among them was Takachan who died in the battle. The great honor of capturing Kyoto was naturally indispensable to them.
In the eyes of Hua Xia and Ying Jiang, the current Kyoto is just a big fat piece of meat, and everyone wants to pounce on it and take a bite.
Yuren was already planning to surrender to Yingjiang. There were some things that needed to be brought up by others. The wall was broken and the airs were not down, but he was still cursing:
"This bastard Okamura, he disrespected my trust in him and ordered the Central Army Group to surrender to the Chinese without authorization, which greatly damaged the morale of the empire. He is the sinner of the empire!"
Yukito habitually put the blame for defeat on the old Japanese Okamura, picked himself out, and left the rest to Private Tojo.
The tacit understanding between Private Tojo and Yuto was very high. He immediately understood his intention and said cautiously:
"Your Majesty, I have something to tell you!"
