Only by annihilating all the more than 20,000 little Japs in the city, will we not be attacked by the Japs from both inside and outside when facing the next war.
However, although the little devils are a bit beastly, their fighting power cannot be underestimated.
In the early days of the war, the combat effectiveness of the Japs was still very strong, otherwise it would not have been possible for a small group of Japs to chase a battalion or even a regiment of Jiangjun troops around.
As soon as the 20th Independent Brigade joined the battlefield, they immediately launched a fierce attack on the little Japanese.
"Bang bang bang..."
"Boom boom boom..."
The battle became intense as soon as it started.
Facing the national hatred, the soldiers burst out with tenacious will and refused to retreat.
But the Japs are Japs after all, they are obsessed with the sun, and their marksmanship is still very accurate.
In order to capture the Guizi Jiangwan Road headquarters, the 20th Independent Brigade had to pay huge casualties every time it took a step forward.
The once bustling streets were now reduced to ruins under the shroud of artillery fire.
"Captain, the little devil's marksmanship is so accurate that the brothers can't even deal with him!"
"But we must also give justice to labor and management. Behind us are the people of Daxia. Even if we die, we cannot take a step back!"
"yes!"
Soldiers have the duty to protect their home and country!
From the moment war comes, everyone can retreat, except soldiers.
However, there were still too few Japs in the city guard, and among them there were five to six thousand Japs from the irregular army.
Therefore, as the fighting continued, the Japanese strongholds protecting the city were eliminated one by one.
The reason why it was so fast was not only the bravery of the soldiers, but also the great contribution of Zhang Zhizhong's Ninth Army Headquarters.
As early as after the 128 Incident, they came to protect the city, and in the name of the school, they secretly probed for information about the Japanese who were protecting the city.
Therefore, every time you attack a Japanese stronghold, you can easily find its weak points and poke them open in one fell swoop.
...
August 15th.
Hirohito ordered Matsui Mugen to be the commander of the dispatched army to protect the city, commanding the 3rd Division, 11th Division and other troops directly under the army to attack the city and further expand the war of aggression against Daxia.
The Japanese reinforcements who received the order began to land behind the Ninth Army.
At this time, facing the still resisting Marine Corps, the Ninth Army was unable to eliminate them.
Faced with the reinforcements from the Footpot Pigs to protect the city, the Daxia High Command considered that fighting in the city was more convenient than fighting in the distant northern plains for supplies.
You can avoid the little devils who have superior mobility.
Moreover, Hushi has many foreign concessions from other countries. Once a war breaks out in Hushi, in order to avoid the destruction of Hushi, it is very likely to cause interference from other international forces.
After all, they still want to make money in the protection market and suck Daxia's blood.
When other countries come forward, the little devils have to pay attention. After all, the combat effectiveness of those established Western powers cannot be ignored, and the little devils now dare not confront them head-on.
In this way, it is possible for the battle in Daxia to win a glorious peace under foreign mediation, thus thwarting the Japanese ambitions in North China.
This is extremely beneficial to Daxia, which is currently relatively weak.
To put it bluntly, you couldn’t see us beating us in other places, but now we are beating you right in front of your eyes, and I don’t believe you can’t see it.
However, in today's world, if you want to have the right to speak, you must be strong enough to attract attention.
In the end, we had no choice but to let it go.
The little devils are so insidious and cunning, they will not give Daxia a chance.
...
As reinforcements were about to arrive, the little Japs guarding the city began to gather their forces and retreated to the Marine Corps headquarters, using the surrounding buildings as bunkers to resist the Ninth Army's attack.
They decided to stay here and become a nail in protecting the city. Once reinforcements arrived, the center could bloom.
The Marine Special Marine Corps Headquarters was the base camp of the Japanese invading troops protecting the city before the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.
The barracks was built in 1924. It is a 4-story reinforced concrete frame building, covering an area of about 6,130 square meters. It is surrounded by office buildings and warehouses, and in the middle is a 2,200 square meter playground.
It can be said to be indestructible, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Taking advantage of the terrain, the little devil hid in windows and rooftops, and relied on precise marksmanship and powerful machine gun firepower to stop the Jiangjun from moving forward.
The bloody battle starts from this moment.
Both sides began to continuously increase their troops to protect the city, and the Battle of Sh, known as the "Oriental Meat Grinder", officially began.
...
At this time, after four days and four nights of non-stop rapid march, Yang Dingguo's 34th Independent Division had reached a place more than 100 kilometers away from the protected city.
Instead of entering a nearby county, Yang Dingguo asked the soldiers to rest on the plains in the wild and make final preparations for the next battle.
Looking away from the map, Yang Dingguo solemnly said to the political commissar beside him: "Old Chen, the soldiers must do a good job in ideological work. We must show the prestige of the Thirty-fourth Division in this battle."
"We want the little devils to know that Daxia is not something that anyone can trample on at will!"
Chen Fei, the political commissar sent after the establishment of the 34th Independent Division was restored, is also a student who returned from overseas and joined gCd as early as when he was studying abroad.
He is now 24 years old, quite young, and he gets along very well with Yang Dingguo on weekdays.
Except for fighting matters of the 34th Independent Division, Yang Dingguo left everything to Chen Fei.
Chen Fei is also very capable. He does everything very well, which saves Yang Dingguo a lot of headaches.
"Don't worry. The soldiers knew they were going to fight the little Japs. They were all howling and screaming, wishing they could have a fight with the little Japs right now."
Chen Fei felt that he was a bit redundant as a political commissar.
The soldiers of the 34th Independent Division were basically veterans of the Long March. Every one of them wanted to be more enlightened than him, so it was not his turn to do ideological work.
The company and platoon leaders below have all done it themselves.
For this battle, Yang Dingguo made a lot of preparations.
The first is the artillery. Considering that large-caliber artillery is difficult to move and the artillery fire of the Japs is stronger, the entire division is equipped with 82 mortars and grenade launchers, just to fight urban warfare with the Japs.
In terms of light weapons, Uni-President is the Big Eight Grain. Although some of them are not suitable for the hands of Daxia people, in general it is not an insurmountable difficulty.
Needless to say, the MP40 submachine gun and the Czech light machine gun are both established. In addition, each squad is equipped with a Czech light machine gun.
