When the Chinese Expeditionary Force encounters a town guarded by the Japanese army, it often directly calls for bombing support, using napalm incendiary bombs and new prefabricated fragmentation cluster bombs, or white phosphorus incendiary bombs to carry out attacks, directly razing the town to the ground. For the Chinese Expeditionary Force,

It seems that it is easy to attack the Japanese troops who are resisting with simple fortifications under the cover of armored troops. However, in fact, once a brutal street fighting breaks out between the two sides, the Chinese Expeditionary Force will also suffer heavy casualties.%&*";

Because both men, women and children, carrying grenades and shouting "Long Live the Emperor", rushed toward the Chinese Expeditionary Force officers and soldiers, this made all the officers and soldiers of the Chinese Expeditionary Force feel unprepared and were in a state of mental tension all the time. Compared with Okinawa,

The war pressure was even greater. Chinese officers and soldiers shot at all suspicious targets, and there were naturally many accidental killings. However, the war had entered a white-hot stage. The 82nd Division, formed by the Japanese army from the left-behind troops in the Third Recruitment Zone of the Army and Navy,

Eighty-seventh Division

regiment, the 92nd Division, the 95th Division, the 97th Division, the 3rd Tank Division, and the 4th Tank Division as the main force, intending to launch a counterattack against Tokyo. The fierce battle caused the Japanese army to

The losses were huge. In the early morning of August 29, 1944,

The Japanese army mobilized 11 divisions, including the 82nd Division, the 87th Division, the 92nd Division, the 95th Division, and the 90th Division that took the initiative some time ago.

The Seventh Division, the Third Chariot Division, the Fourth Chariot Division and other units.

The 82nd Division, the 87th Division, the 92nd Division, the 95th Division, and the 97th Division were originally units affiliated with the Kwantung Army. The main force was destroyed during the Far East Campaign.

This time, the remnant troops were reorganized on the mainland, and their combat effectiveness was reduced. In addition, the troops were all dissatisfied with the formation of the third regiment, and they launched a counterattack prematurely. They suffered heavy losses under the ground and air firepower of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.%

However, this time the military headquarters issued an order to regain control of Tokyo within a time limit. Knowing that this was an impossible task, the Japanese troops participating in the war, mainly composed of the National Standing Team and the Endeavor Team, began to attack the Chinese Expeditionary Force from the north and south fronts in the early morning of the 29th.

To implement a north-south offensive, the Japanese army concentrated its last three hundred combat aircraft in the battle, in order to achieve the goal.

It was a last-ditch effort. Under six months of continuous indiscriminate strategic bombing by the U.S. military, Japan's industrial system had been completely destroyed, and the supply of all weapons and ammunition had also come to a halt. Many of the people who fought back only had a bamboo gun.

More people followed the main attacking force with bare hands, picking up the weapons of the fallen officers and soldiers and continuing to fight.

Operation Kikuji No. 5 was called the final madness of the Japanese after the war, so that the subsequent Operation Kikuji No. 6 was completely aborted. The Japanese army invested a total of about 50 troops in the five consecutive days of attacks.

Ninety thousand troops and civilians stood up against the Fengyang Corps, with a mortality rate as high as 90%. Before the Japanese troops attacked, the troops of each division

Division commanders, corps commanders, and chiefs of staff committed suicide by caesarean section to encourage their subordinates to fight to the death. As a result, the Japanese army, nearly 600,000 combat troops, including the Standing Team and the Endeavor Team, began to brave the fierce ground attack of the Chinese Expeditionary Force part of the day and night.

Air firepower, like a wave, launched wave after wave of fierce attacks on a 150-kilometer-long front.

Anti-Japanese blood sacrifice to mountains and rivers 978

It can be said that corpses littering the fields and piles of corpses like mountains are not the best way to describe the brutality of the Japanese army's battle. The Chinese Expeditionary Force also suffered more than 20,000 casualties. Many positions were broken through by the Japanese army. The officers and soldiers in the defensive positions called for artillery fire at me at the last moment.

!On the fifth day of the fierce battle, the Chinese Expeditionary Force landed another seven reorganized divisions, including two armored divisions, and immediately launched a counterattack against the Japanese troops. The Japanese troops participating in the attack were hit.

The counterattack troops of the Chinese Expeditionary Force pursued for nearly 100 kilometers. Along the roadside, under the hills, in ditches, between fields, and in the ruins of towns, there were corpses of Japanese troops and brave troops, and a large number of desperate Japanese troops everywhere.

The wounded used the only grenades they had to commit suicide. Using grenades to commit suicide was already a very luxurious act. A large number of Japanese wounded were gathered in depressions and abandoned. The Japanese army did not even have time to deal with their own wounded.

The Chrysanthemum No. 5 battle plan completely exploded the Japanese chrysanthemum. In fact, the Japanese army invested more than 800,000 people in the support team, the brave team, and the regular troops. However, due to the heavy bombing by the Allies, they suffered heavy losses. In the end, only

Eighty percent of the troops arrived at the combat area. In the air raid shelter located in the northern Kawasaki Mountains, the imperial meeting was held from September 6 to the early morning of the 8th.

It can be said that the failure of the Kikuji No. 5 battle plan has made the 44-year-old Emperor Hirohito feel exhausted. Although the generals attending the meeting were shouting for 100 million pieces of jade, Emperor Hirohito also heard from the diplomatic delegation in contact with the United States.

According to reports, because China insists on severely punishing all war criminals, including the abolition of Japan's emperor system, the so-called negotiations have been stagnant.

After five days of fighting, the Chinese Expeditionary Force concentrated 300 bulldozers, and it took 20 days to bury all the corpses. This made the Japanese, who were preparing to destroy their country, pour a basin of ice water on their heads.

Even women and children carried bamboo guns into battle. Even if 100 million people died as they wildly claimed, there would never be any hope of victory in the decisive battle on the mainland. The Chinese Expeditionary Force seemed to have endless artillery shells and missiles.

Endless aerial bombs.

In times of despair, many people who were extremely desperate in the face of large-scale strategic bombing by the US military gathered together and committed mass suicide using the explosives and grenades issued to them for attacking the Chinese Expeditionary Force. Some Japanese women even killed their own children.

Drowning in the water, the atmosphere of defeat pervaded the troops and the people. Continuing the battle was nothing but a dead end. There was no hope of survival. A large number of people committed suicide every day.

Even in Emperor Hirohito's underground fortifications, during the three days of the meeting, six tactical staff members of the base camp committed suicide by raising their guns or committing suicide by caesarean section. This made Emperor Hirohito completely disheartened, and Emperor Hirohito could see it.

, the reason why the Chinese Expeditionary Force demands severe punishment for

Jihe abolished the emperor system, but actually did not want Japan to surrender. If Japan announced unconditional surrender, they would lose the excuse and reason for mass murder. The brutal fighting and the continuous strategic bombing by the US Air Force had already cost Japan more than 30%.
