After the Japanese troops made a full landing on Kyushu Island, Japan, the entire Japanese army on Kyushu Island, from Takasumi Hamae to the most ordinary soldiers below, fell into a huge panic, but some Japanese cheered.
Masahiro Suzuki and his Red Army are struggling to hold on in Mount Kirishima.
They endured the cold winter with great hardships, but then the government troops also stepped up their offensive, putting them into an extremely dangerous passivity again.
They even feel that they can no longer hold on.
But just when they were desperate, the Chinese ** team suddenly landed in large numbers!
It's like a drowning person suddenly grabbing a piece of wood.
When the Chinese Army's artillery fire sounded on Kyushu Island, the Red Army thought it was the government's offensive that had restarted. But as the artillery fire became more intense, they quickly discovered that something was wrong.
Masahiro Suzuki was the first to react. Could it be that the time he had been looking forward to had arrived? Could it be that the president had fulfilled his promise?
The inquirers came quickly and brought them news that was enough to make the people excited:
The Chinese ** team began to land on Jiuzhou Island!
Kirishima Mountain erupted in cheers, and Suzuki Masahiro was even moved to tears.
We've landed, we've landed, we've landed! The President has not lied to himself. The President has never lied to himself. If the President says he will definitely support him, then he will definitely do so!
"Counterattack! Counterattack!" Masahiro Suzuki, who had regained his normal thinking, yelled at the top of his lungs.
The development of things confirmed that the Chinese ** team had fully landed on Kyushu Island!
The government troops surrounding Mount Kirishima immediately retreated. Like dogs that had been bitten on the butt, they evacuated hastily and headed towards the beach for reinforcements.
There, the Japanese army must have suffered a major attack
Starting from September 2, most of the weapons and equipment of the Chinese ** team have been transported to Kyushu Island, which has further strengthened the firepower of the Chinese ** team that was already stronger than the Japanese army.
There is no doubt about the victory of the landing battle on Kyushu Island. The key is the form in which the Chinese team won the victory.
This is the first large-scale landing operation of the Chinese ** Corps. In the previous landing operations in Taiwan, the Chinese ** Corps encountered almost no resistance, but this time the landing operation had to face the resistance of the Japanese regular army.
A miserable victory or an extremely hard-fought victory is not what the Chinese ** team wants to see. If despite such careful preparations and such a comprehensive weapon advantage, it can still only achieve a hard-fought victory, then it will be completely different for the Chinese ** team.
It can be seen as a failure.
Wang Mingzhang, commander of the Third Army Corps, began to gradually increase the intensity of the attack.
The entire 9th Division was deployed on the front-line battlefield, and the 1st Division deployed support from both sides and steadily advanced deep into Kyushu Island.
2. The Japanese regiment, the 9th Division of the National Defense Forces, fought more than ten times with the Japanese garrison, including the battle with the Japanese Asahina Brigade at 3 p.m.
In order to prevent the fierce advance of the Chinese National Defense Forces, the Asahina Brigade opened up in Sasebo and assumed a decisive battle posture.
The 18th Brigade of the 9th Division of the National Defense Forces, which stood at the forefront, immediately launched a sustained assault on the Asahina Brigade. With the support of aircraft, tanks and artillery, it quickly broke through many positions.
Asahina Sosaburo was unable to do anything about this bad situation and had no good way to deal with it.
He repeatedly requested reinforcements from Commander Hamae Takajun, but what could Hamae Takajun do? The Japanese artillery fire on Kyushu Island was completely suppressed by the Chinese. No matter what kind of reinforcements were sent, they were bombarded by the overwhelming and fierce artillery fire of the Chinese.
was crushed.
In fact, Hamae Takajun knows better than anyone how to get no support, so the fall of Kyushu Island will only be a matter of time.
But where are the reinforcements?
At this time, the Japanese government was extremely passive!
The sudden landing of the Chinese on Kyushu Island caught the Japanese government off guard, and the intensity of the landing stunned Japan even more.
What should I do? What should I do now?
Fight? That means an all-out war! An all-out war? Japan is not prepared at all. This is first. Secondly, can Japan's economy and current domestic conditions support an all-out war?
The navy suffered a defeat in the previous Diaoyu Islands War. The super battleship that was about to be completed sank in the Great Kanto Earthquake, and its strength was greatly weakened.
Now, Japan's new super battleship is about to be completed. Is it feasible to choose an all-out war at this time?
Japanese Navy Minister Ohkaku Sumio reflected this mentality of the Japanese Navy very well. He believed that it would be very unwise to rush into a decisive battle with the Chinese Navy when the super battleship was not completed.
The Chinese Navy currently has two super battleships, which has greatly increased its strength. According to incomplete intelligence, the Chinese Navy has six aircraft carriers.
Of course, aircraft carriers cannot be compared with super battleships at all. At least this is how most people in the Japanese Navy view it...
The Japanese Navy without super battleships has little chance of winning against the Chinese Navy with two super battleships!
"By the end of this year, or at the latest by the beginning of next year, our super battleships will be incorporated into the fleet. That will be our day of revenge!" Dajiao Cen Sheng said with a solemn expression: "I heard that Zhi Tong has a saying, 'Keep your head down for ten years.
They raised their heads to meet Japan in 2016. The Chinese have also done it. Why can’t the empire temporarily endure it? When our super battleships begin service, that will be the time when the empire completely strikes back, and we will return all the shame to China!”
Although Japanese Army General Juichi Terauchi is ambitious in wanting to start a decisive battle with China, the situation is now very clear. Without the support of the navy, the army cannot go to Kyushu Island alone.
The debate was fierce, and in the end the navy's opinion prevailed.
Rushing to a decisive battle with China without complete preparation will only cause further defeat. And once Japan is defeated again, the consequences will be very terrible...
Be patient for the time being and wait for Japan's ultimate weapon, the super battleship, to enter service! At that time, all the shame that the Chinese have imposed on Japan will be returned to the Chinese intact!
As for Kyushu Island, the Japanese are confident that with the current military strength of Kyushu Island and the bravery and proficiency of Hamae Takajun, there will be no problem in persisting for ten months to a year.
And as long as the Japanese government has this period of time as a buffer, then the entire war situation may be greatly changed...
The Japanese government quickly sent electricity to Hamae Takajun and told him that the Japanese government was actively preparing for reinforcements and that he must continue to hold on to Kyushu Island.
After receiving the government's promise of reinforcements, Binjiang Xiaochun's confidence greatly increased. He did not know that he and the defenders on Kyushu Island had actually been betrayed...
All he got was an empty promise that he would not receive any reinforcements until the Japanese super battleship was launched.
Japan has also adopted the same strategy as China: endure!
It should be said that this is a strategy adopted by Wang Hengyue, the President of the Republic of China. When one's own strength is inferior to that of the opponent, one must endure resolutely, develop silently, wait for the opportunity, and then attack in one fell swoop.
But Wang Hengyue knew when to endure and when to attack, but the Japanese did not.
Super battleship? What you are waiting for is Japan’s super battleship
The fierce battle on Kyushu Island reached a fever pitch on the 2nd. The Asahina Battalion was the first to bear the brunt of the fierce attack by the Chinese Army.
The firepower of the Chinese was too fierce. From warships, from cannons, from airplanes... they smashed tons and tons of shells crazily at the Japanese positions!
The roaring artillery shells continued to burn the Japanese positions with soaring flames and loud noises. Teams of Japanese fell under the bombardment of artillery fire...
The Chinese infantry were not in a hurry to attack. They waited patiently for their artillery fire to continuously weaken the Japanese strength, and then they could easily seize the position.
Asahina Sosaburo roared loudly, trying his best to prevent the collapse of the position and boosting morale.
Only then did he learn from Commander Binjiang that the empire's reinforcements were approaching Kyushu Island and would arrive soon, and this also greatly inspired Asahina Sosaburo's confidence.
He firmly believes that he can persevere, and his soldiers can persevere.
Although positions one after another were broken through by squadrons, Asahina Sosaburo was not afraid at all. He even moved his headquarters to the place closest to the battlefield.
He believed that by taking the lead, he would be able to inspire the soldiers' determination to fight to the death to the greatest extent.
He found that the Chinese's attack methods on this day were very consistent. They first bombed the Japanese fortifications with artillery fire, and then swarmed up under the cover of tanks to seize the position.
Although this method of attack is simple, it is very effective. Not only is it much easier for the attacker, but it also minimizes the attacker's casualties.
Faced with such a passive situation, Asahina Sosaburo frowned deeply.
A solution must be thought of, otherwise it will only be a matter of time before all the positions are lost. And once Sasebo falls into the hands of the Chinese, the entire Kyushu Island will be covered by the Chinese attack range.
But, how can we stop the Chinese? How can we delay the Chinese attack? How can we deal with those terrible Chinese artillery fire?
Asahina Sosaburo thought for a long time and finally thought of a way, but Asahina Sosaburo didn't know if this method was effective!
On the night of the 20th, in Sasebo, Kyushu Island, Japan, the "crazy" Asahina Sosaburo was born! (To be continued
