Oil City.
Kwantung Army Headquarters.
In a spacious war room.
The commanders of the 75th, 76th, 77th, 78th and 79th Divisions of the Kwantung Army and their chiefs of staff were present.
Sitting in the middle of the seats were Uchida Yasusai and Honjo Shige.
They came from afar and spent hundreds of millions in tolls...
If the Kwantung Army cannot contain the Northeast Army in China, they will have no capital to negotiate with Ye Anran or Jinling.
When it comes to conquering China, they cannot compromise at any time...
They want the Chinese people to surrender to the Locust and become their loyal subjects.
There is only one way to deal with this nation, fight!
Only by hitting hard can the warrior spirit of the empire be revealed.
Ling Yidi faced several division commanders. He pointed at the map in front of him and used the wooden stick in his hand to draw a circle at the place marked Crane City...
Honjo Shigeru raised his head.
He looked at the circle drawn by Ling Yidian, Crane City...
A city that once kept him awake at night and often gave him nightmares...
Honjo Shige swallowed, his eyes suddenly turned red and his face became increasingly ugly.
Ling Yi looked at Benzhuang Shige out of the corner of his eye. He seemed to be deliberately provoking, and the corners of his mouth turned up involuntarily, "Generals."
"The Chinese, no, it's the ignorant Northeastern Army who drove our warships to the Shuangma Island Strait."
"Blocking our maritime traffic routes from Nagasaki to the North Silla Strait and East Asian countries."
"What's more annoying?!"
Ling Yi Deaf's eyes suddenly filled with bloodshot eyes. He clenched his jaw and said angrily: "What's more polite is that their stupid and ignorant China pigs actually occupied our Shuangma Island!!"
"Our 30,000 soldiers and civilians on Shuangma Island were all killed by the artillery fire of the Northeast Army!"
"Even our minister, Mr. Yasusai Uchida, flew to China... He had to take a detour through the Soviet Union and pay more than 100 million rubles to reach Xinjing safely..."
The more Ling Yi Deaf said, the more angry he became.
Beside him, Okamura Neiji sat quietly.
When it comes to setting off the atmosphere of the soldiers, General Ling Yidi is indeed an outstanding speaker.
Uchida Yasusai nodded slightly.
He is still very satisfied with Ling Yidian's current performance.
It is even more believed that under the attack of the five divisions of the Kwantung Army, it is only a matter of time before they eliminate the defenders of Hecheng and eliminate Ye Anran's remaining forces.
Ling Yi deaf eyes widened.
"From now on, we will use a new method to eliminate China pigs!!"
"We will make the lower ethnic groups of China pay a heavy price for attacking Shuangma Island, for the locust guards who were shattered on the island, and for the locust people of the empire!!!"
"We want to tell the Chinese people, let them know who is their master and who is the master of their lives!!"
…
An impassioned speech.
It mobilized the atmosphere of the entire war room.
Suddenly, there was a crash, and all the Kwantung Army officers sitting around the table stood up.
Their eyes were sinister, and every twisted face showed resentment towards the Chinese people.
murderous look.
Spreading wildly throughout the war room...
"Hai!!"
They neatly responded to Ling Yidian's order...
Yasusai Uchida applauded.
He looked left and right at the generals standing neatly, his eyes narrowed to a slit, "Generals."
"The dignity of the empire has been severely hit by the Northeast Army."
"There's nothing we can do."
"You can only use machine guns and artillery fire to defend the motherland and defend the dignity of the Locust!"
"For the sake of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, we must take back all the lost territory of Manchukuo. At the same time, we must give a harsh lesson to those lower-class ethnic groups who are wavering and do not adhere to the belief in the Locust!!"
"War has casualties."
"It doesn't matter whether it's civilians or soldiers, even hospitals, schools, women or babies. Any lower-class ethnic group that obstructs the unification of the Locusts can become victims of the empire's conquest of East Asia."
…
His lingering voice fell.
All the Japanese officers, including Ling Yidian, responded in unison: "Ha Yi."
Calm returned to the war room.
Ling Yidian issued combat orders.
The 75th Division, the 76th Division, and the 77th Division launched attacks on Hecheng from three directions.
Along the way, any living lower-class people can become victims of the empire's display of military might.
With Ling Yi deaf's order.
All the Japanese officers seem to have Shangfang swords.
after an hour.
Chenjiadian.
More than 30 Renault tanks of the Japanese 75th Division's armored brigade crashed into ordinary people's houses.
Hundreds of bungalows turned into ruins in an instant.
The people in the town fled in panic.
Coaxial machine guns deployed on tanks fired violently at the people...
Countless people fell on the way to escape.
Under the command of the Japanese commander, the tanks launched fierce shelling at the crowd.
Boom!
An explosion rang out.
The entire Chenjiadian was shaken and houses collapsed.
A group of fleeing civilians were blown away by artillery fire.
Just for a moment, people’s limbs and arms were everywhere, and blood was flowing everywhere...
There were stumps of limbs all over the ground, falling on the scorched earth after the artillery fire.
There are half-broken arms and bloody intestines...
Following the rhythm of the advancing tanks, the Japanese walked and danced the Awa dance on the streets of Chenjiadian Town.
Their machine gunners sat on the tanks, twisting their bodies constantly, watching the unarmed people running away in a hurry, they were extremely excited...
Almost at the same time.
The 76th Division of the Kwantung Army moved from Jiejiazhuang to Xiangyang Village.
Their tanks drove in the middle of the road, and the cavalry regiments were on both sides of the tanks.
Whenever they see a living person, the Japanese cavalry will rush towards the crowd with their sabers in hand.
They hooked the common people's chests with their sabers, then straddled their horses diagonally and dragged them into the enemy's marching route...
Place the corpses of ordinary people in front of the tank, and then watch the tank's tracks ruthlessly crush the people...
Every time blood splashes...
It can cause the devils to laugh crazily.
…
Gejiatun.
It is 20 kilometers away from Chenjiadian.
The forward headquarters of the Independent 1st Column of the Sichuan Army.
Feng Tiankui was an expert in fighting. He sent out an infantry regiment and asked them to pretend to be ordinary people to detect the actions of the Japanese.
The original artillery brigade of Feng Tiankui's Yongzhou garrison was not equipped with 150 howitzers.
Only 30 75mm field guns were equipped.
Because no one in the army has used the 150 howitzer, there are technical barriers.
He could only ask the artillery brigade to arrive in Oil City with the 75mm infantry cannon that had been used before...
Although I envy Ye Anran's troops.
but.
He doesn't know how to use those heavy artillery.
It would be a pity if it was captured by the Japanese later or had to be blown up due to the shift of battle lines...
Forward finger.
Chief of Staff Li Chunhua walked quickly to Feng Tiankui.
"commander."
"We received a telegram from the Crane City headquarters asking us to relocate the local people as much as possible."
"The deputy commander is also worried that the Japanese will be cruel to the people."
Feng Tiankui nodded.
"Didn't we already arrange for people to relocate the people?"
He stared at the surrounding villages on the map.
If you want to say that, you have to fight with Ye Anran.
His first thought was the safety of the local people.
In Sichuan Province, they fought hundreds of battles with local warlords.
No officer would care about the lives of the local people before going to war...
Ye Anran is the first.
