"Zhang Zuolin is dead? Then Zhang Xueliang or Zhang Zuoxiang sent the news, but why did they cover up the truth? Who attacked Zhang Zuolin's train again." Pan Wenhua frowned.

"Could it be Japanese people?" Cai Songpo whispered noncommittally, but when he looked up, he saw Zhao Shouhong giving him a thumbs up.

"Brother Songpo hit the nail on the head, Zhang Zuolin was definitely killed by the Wa people." Zhao Shouhong laughed.

"That's not right, Zhang Zuolin has always relied on the Japanese people. He also used the Japanese warships to invade Dagukou and fought with Feng Yuxiang. Why did he suddenly turn around?" Bai Chongxi said with a frown.

Zhao Shouhong said with a smile: "The fact is very simple. Zhang Zuolin and the Japanese are just hypocrisy. They have never really betrayed the interests of the country. This is why I never hit him. This time, the Japanese should have a showdown with him and ask him to come back from the side. Attacking the West Special Army. Zhang Zuolin couldn't bear the pressure, so he decided to electrify his son to inherit the Fengjun position. Zhang Zuolin cooperated with the Japanese and gained a lot of benefits, but his son did not. Zhang Zuolin was no longer in power, and the Japanese could not expose both sides Threatening his son with his relationship, the plan of the Japanese has come to nothing."

"It turns out that the people of the Japanese country did such a stupid thing when they became angry from embarrassment." Shen Shoukun sighed.

"I've been waiting for such an opportunity. Zhang Xueliang must know that the Japanese did it. He will definitely draw a line with the Japanese. As long as the Feng family decides to join us or cooperate with us, the Japanese will die." Zhao Shouhong I was very worried about the Feng family. After all, Zhang Zuolin also has an army of 30 in his hands.Although the combat effectiveness of these troops is not strong, they are a difficult force to move.

The Feng faction has always stayed out of the civil war. If the West Special Army took the initiative to launch an attack, it would be easy for outsiders to create the image of the Western Special Zone being bullied by the big and the small.Although such an image will not have much impact after the unification of the country, it is easy to be seized by the domestic resistance forces in the future.If you don't move them, Feng Faction is a ticking time bomb. When the West Special Army and the Japanese Army are at a stalemate, Zhang Zuolin's sudden dispatch of troops is likely to make Zhao Shouhong fall short.

After Zhao Shouhong explained, everyone understood Zhao Shouhong's previous worries.What they have to do now is to help Zhang Xueliang secure his position as commander-in-chief. With his father's hatred in his heart, he can easily lean towards the Western Special Zone. As long as the pro-Japanese faction in the Feng clan is wiped out, it will be a matter of course for Fengjun to surrender.The West Special Army has no worries, and the Japanese Army is completely finished.

"Now Jiang Ruiyuan is only left in Fuzhou, and he can't survive for half a month. After the Red Army lost troops, the attack on the Urals became weaker and weaker. The Gauls have been building fortifications in Lang Son, and it seems that they have not made any progress. With the protection of the Lanfang Fleet commanded by Commander Cheng Biguang, the Eastern Continental Fleet of the Saars dare not leave Mumbai for a short time. After all the powers are restrained, we have ushered in a period of strategic opportunities. Now We have to concentrate on facing the Japanese country, this is a good time for us to destroy it." Jiang Fangzhen explained the battle situation to everyone.

"No, it's not maiming but eliminating." Zhao Shouhong suddenly raised his voice, and his words made everyone's eyes shine. "A country that has been coveting the land of Hualan for thousands of years, a nation that wants to invade as long as it has a little national power, is simply the most inferior existence on this planet. There is no need for the Japanese government to exist. The only way to put 7000 million Japanese people in Under our rule, we can let them play a little bit of residual heat."

"The principal means..." Bai Chongxi asked anxiously.

Zhao Shouhong looked at the many generals and said with a smile: "From the beginning, I didn't intend to just destroy the Japanese country. I worked hard and was careful not to make any mistakes. I would rather wait for a few more years than take risks, because What I want is not just to cripple the Japanese country, let them lie dormant for decades, and then come back again. We Hualan have defended long enough, and it is time for us to fight back. Since they like aggression so much, we will Let them invade, they like to slaughter, we will slaughter them. I want to plant the seeds of fear in the hearts of the Japanese, and let them mention that the first thing that comes to mind in Hualan is not wealth and plunder, but fear and death."

Zhao Shouhong's tone gradually became high-pitched, and the generals also straightened their backs, each of them looked energetic.Zhao Shouhong's words have many meanings, but there is only one in the center, which is to completely solve the Wo Kingdom, so that the Hualan Kingdom will no longer have any worries.They all watched Zhao Shouhong, waiting for his final order.

Chapter 85 Street Fighting Is Difficult

"The existence of the Wa Kingdom was originally a mistake. Since our ancestors made a wrong judgment and accepted this wolf-like nation in good faith, they made them harm Hualan for thousands of years and caused us to lose many rises and revivals in modern times. Then today is the time to correct this mistake. We must comfort our ancestors, we must be worthy of future generations, and let the country of Japan become history. I announce that Chen Hu will personally lead the team to Mingjing to assist Zhang Xueliang in suppressing the pro-Japanese faction. Immediately start the plan for the second phase of the rodent control operation."

"Follow the general order." Everyone agreed loudly.

After this meeting, the West Army, which had not been mobilized for half a year, started to move again. The navy, army and air force made major adjustments one after another. At the same time, the Huang Gonglue Department of the No.16 Army of the Central Military Region and the Wang Bailing Department of the Fifth Army of the Eastern Military Region were also transferred to the Far East by train. Even the three garrison divisions in Baikal Province were moving closer to the border area.

The cavalry was transferred across the military region for the first time, and Liu Hongkui of the Hualan Cavalry Army stationed in the Central Military Region secretly went to Baikal Province to stand by.In addition, under unknown circumstances, the No.15 Fourth Infantry Division under the jurisdiction of No.20 Army Zhang Yunfeng in Gwanghae Territory began intense pre-war preparations.

The West Special Army suddenly increased its troops on the front line in Pyongyang, and the second independent artillery division and the Kokang independent artillery division that were transferred up entered Koryo for the first time.A large number of 240mm super-caliber howitzers were sent to the battlefield. The dense large-caliber shells almost turned over all the fortifications on the periphery of Pyongyang. The anti-tank trenches that were originally five meters deep were blown into shallow pits. The Japanese army was either shaken to death or buried alive.

On the offensive road paved by the artillery, Sun Liren led the Sixth Tank Division to quickly pass through the Japanese army's position and invaded the city of Pyongyang.Takao Suzuki has persisted in Pyongyang for half a year. Although the Japanese army is disappearing at a rate of one division every half a month, they are defending the city after all.Suzuki Takao even clamored that the West Special Army would not be able to capture Pyongyang for 100 years. This is the Verdun Fortress in the East.

It is a pity that although the Verdun Fortress persisted for a long time, it was finally captured by the Teutonic Army, and the city of Pyongyang where the Japanese army was stationed was far from being as strong as the Verdun Fortress.The Benlang 3 tank quickly rushed into the street with its slender tank gun held high.

When Sun Liren led his team into the city, he suddenly found himself in a trap.The narrow gap made it difficult for tanks to turn around, and it was impossible to avoid the anti-tank guns behind the barricades.Fortunately, the Japanese army is generally equipped with 25mm cannons modified from anti-aircraft guns, which are not powerful enough to penetrate the front armor of the Benlang 3 tank, but the threat from the top is more direct.

Although there are no tall buildings in the city of Pyongyang, there are still many small buildings with three or four floors after years of operation by the Wa Kingdom.The Japanese army hid in the room upstairs, neither firing nor speaking, until a tank passed by downstairs, and then they blasted with grenades with increased charges.

The power of these grenades is not great, but it is enough compared to the weakest tank top armor.In bursts of explosions, the top armor of many tanks was blown through, and the crew suffered heavy casualties.If it weren't for the diesel engine used by the Benlang 3 tank, it would not be ignited at all. It is estimated that Sun Liren's troops suffered even greater losses.

Faced with this situation, the only way for the West Army is to equip infantry with tanks.They hid behind the tanks and specially observed the situation of the surrounding buildings. Once they found a muzzle coming out, their Type [-] semi-automatic rifles or the latest Type [-] general-purpose machine guns would fire immediately, sealing the Japanese soldiers to death. at the window.The tanks will not move on until the infantry rushes into the buildings to destroy these remnants of the enemy.

Because the Type [-] light machine gun was more flexible than firepower, after the last Zhennanguan battle, the arsenal invested in the development of new machine guns.After several months of trial production, the arsenal came up with this new concept machine gun.As the name suggests, the general-purpose machine gun can be used as a light machine gun with a bipod, or as a heavy machine gun with a tripod.

This machine gun uses a large number of stamped parts. Although it looks ugly, it is extremely practical. It takes into account the firepower of a heavy machine gun and the flexibility of a light machine gun. Its rate of fire is as high as [-] rounds per minute, which is enough to scare any enemy.Its only disadvantage is that the bullets are consumed too quickly due to the high rate of fire, and the barrel turns red quickly and cannot be used.The ammunition problem can only be remedied by sharing bullets with semi-automatic rifles, letting other infantry carry ammunition for them, or using mechanized transportation.The problem of the barrel turning red is easily solved. There is a wrench on the side of the barrel of the Type [-] general-purpose machine gun. Just pull the wrench to easily separate the barrel from the gun body.At that time, just pour the red barrel on the ground and replace it with another one.

Now the standard configuration of an infantry squad in the West Army has become that the head and deputy squad leader use a Type [-] submachine gun, a sniper uses a Type [-] sniper rifle, a machine gunner uses a Type [-] general-purpose machine gun, and the other eight infantrymen use a Type [-] submachine gun. Type [-] semi-automatic rifle, the rate of fire is enough to beat a Japanese battalion.In addition, there are two grenade launchers and two [-]mm mortars that do not occupy the establishment in a squad.

Despite the huge difference in weapons, the resistance of the Japanese army was very fierce. After being blocked by the firepower of the infantry of the West Special Army, the Japanese soldiers upstairs changed their targets to the infantry behind the tank.This kind of head-to-head shooting, the infantry of the West Special Army who attacked from the back was very disadvantaged. Although the weapons were much more advanced than the opponent, because of the need for passive reaction, the battle loss rate could only be maintained at about [-]:[-].

Exchange one soldier of the West Special Army for two Japanese soldiers. This kind of exchange is not what the West Special Army is willing to see. For this reason, Cai Songpo, who just took office as the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Conquest Army, immediately issued an order.All the West Special forces that entered Pyongyang City left the city. After the troops blocked Pyongyang City, they did not have to enter the city to fight in the streets and wait for the next order.

Originally, Sun Liren fought more and more smoothly. Seeing that he had already occupied more than ten blocks, he received a withdrawal order.The army is a place where discipline is strictly observed. No matter how dissatisfied you are, you must obey the military orders, otherwise you will be punished, even if Sun Liren is the brother-in-law of the general.

In desperation, Sun Liren had no choice but to order the remains of the martyrs to be collected, and the whole army will fight and retreat.Realizing that the West Army was retreating, the Japanese soldiers regained their spirits. They thought it was their fighting spirit that overwhelmed their opponents, and immediately launched a counter-charge along the street.

Chapter 86 Playing hard to get

However, it is a pity that the Japanese army expressed their wrong feelings in the way of retaining them. The tanks fired violently with the coaxial machine guns facing forward during the retreat, and the Japanese soldiers lost many people as a result.Seeing that the opponent retreated without chaos, Suzuki Takao quickly ordered to stop this meaningless pursuit.

"Commander, why did you tell us to retreat? I'm about to hit the Datong Gate." As soon as Sun Liren came back, he hurriedly found Cai Songpo.He believes that his tactics are reasonable, and it is only a matter of time before he can win, and he should not retreat and let the attack give up halfway.

"There are too many casualties among our people, we can't continue fighting like this." Cai Songpo said lightly.

"There are no immortals in a war. In order to achieve the final victory, I think such sacrifices are worthwhile." Sun Liren retorted.

Cai Songpo looked at this young man with admiration, he had a decisiveness that didn't belong to his age.This is a special temperament cultivated by serving in the army for a long time. His tactical flexibility is deeply loved by his subordinates, and he is a rare general.Cai Songpo knew very well that Sun Liren was a general, and his ability to reach his current status had nothing to do with Zhao Shouhong's support.Relying on his own ability, he has made great achievements from blood and fire, and every step of his promotion is very solid.

Cai Songpo believes that such young people should be cultivated more, and they will be the pillars of Hualan's army in the future.Cultivating a future marshal is not something that can be achieved through patient explanation. He needs to think about many things by himself.So Cai Songpo didn't give any explanation, just answered him with a smile: "You go back and make preparations. Your Sixth Tank Division will be the first to enter the city tomorrow morning. Remember to ask everyone to polish their leather shoes." After speaking, he waved his hands and left.

"Entering the city tomorrow morning? Isn't it a siege? Could it be that the Japanese soldiers will die if they don't fight? Do you think they are made of mud, or do you think they were killed by lightning?" Sun Liren scratched his head, not understanding where Cai Songpo's confidence came from.

Suzuki Takao was also very surprised, the fighting power of the West Army made him feel terrified.If it weren't for the desperate resistance of his subordinates, it is estimated that the whole of Pyongyang would have changed hands.Even so, Suzuki Takao felt distressed seeing the most elite infantry soldiers of the Japanese kingdom continue to die in battle.

The Wa Kingdom must stick to the Koryo Peninsula, because once it is captured, the Far East and the country will not be able to look at each other end to end, and the Wa Kingdom will lose all strategic initiative.If you want to stick to the Koryo Peninsula, Pyongyang is the best choice, because there are large plains further south, and there is no danger to defend.

Only by sticking to Pyongyang can the Koryo Peninsula be preserved. This is the consensus of the Japanese army's top leaders, so they spare no effort to invest their troops to defend the city.In fact, since Takao Suzuki decided to stick to Pyongyang, he has fallen into the trap carefully prepared by Jiang Fangzhen.

After six months of continuous consumption, Pyongyang City has almost become a flesh and blood mill, and most of the elite Japanese army died here.It can be said that in the past six months, the West Army has used 150 million tons of steel shells in exchange for the lives of nearly 20 elite soldiers in the Japanese country.Suzuki Takao can say very responsibly that even if the West Special Army withdraws this time, the Japanese army will not be able to recover without ten years.Now not only the elite troops in the country, but also the Far East have all been mobilized. Now all the recruits stationed in various places are recruits who have been in the army for less than half a year, or even less than a month. Only a genius knows what their combat effectiveness is.

Suzuki Takao was a little relieved by the retreat of the West Army. He knew that the time to stick to Pyongyang was running out.If Wa had no new trump card, he would order the Japanese army to retreat to Pusan ​​to stand firm in a week at most, otherwise his men would have no soldiers to use.General Suzuki Takao, who was thinking about how to retreat, didn't know, and he didn't have to worry about it soon.

After this period of high-intensity bloody battles, the physical and mental strength of the Japanese soldiers was almost at the limit. Today, the West Army suddenly retreated, and the fronts of both sides calmed down. The feeling of sleepiness naturally came to them.Takao Suzuki was also very tired, so he went to bed early after setting up the necessary guard posts.

Just when most of the Japanese soldiers fell asleep, in the clear sky, the faint sound of motors came from far to near.Because these planes are flying at high altitude, not much noise can be heard on the ground. In addition, the soldiers of the Japanese army are tired, and even the guard posts standing upright in various parts of the city are half asleep and half awake. There is no one at all. Will take into account the situation on the top of the head.

At an altitude of 5000 meters from downtown Pyongyang, Guan Zhongming, the commander-in-chief of the Third Air Force, was driving a H-3 heavy bomber, coming slowly in a large formation.All the bomber units stationed in the north of Koryo came for this sortie. In addition to the [-]th Light Bomber Division of the [-]rd Air Force, they also had bomber units drawn from the [-]st and [-]nd Air Forces. The number was very large.

The bombardier Liu Qun, who was putting his eyes on the bombing scope, shouted excitedly: "Captain, the target has been found. It is definitely Pyongyang, and it is on the bank of the Datong River."

Guan Zhongming said: "Very well, we are finally here." Then he picked up the radio transmitter and shouted in the bombing formation channel: "Attention all night owls, the Eagle's Nest has been found and is ready to lay eggs."

"Ye Xiao understands." Several teachers agreed in unison.Soon the channels of several divisions became busy. Under the assignment of commanders at all levels, the bomber group lowered to an altitude of 500 meters, and a neat team passed over Pyongyang.

Suzuki Takao was woken up by the louder roar of the engine. He got up and muttered, "Who is making such noise and keeping people from sleeping?" A person was able to send it out.

Takao Suzuki was shocked, he even scrambled and pulled off his military uniform, before he even had time to get his boots on, he limped out of the room just like that.Standing in the yard, Suzuki Takao looked up at the sky. With the help of the faint moonlight, he saw huge black shadows moving across the night sky, and some small black spots moved from far to near at an extremely fast speed, heading towards the city of Pyongyang. The ground rushes.

A small black spot quickly enlarged and appeared in front of Takao Suzuki. He watched the huge aerial bomb with a tail fall in the yard and exploded more than 30 meters away from him.The power of the bomb explosion was not great, and Suzuki Takao, who was more than 30 meters away, would not be killed directly, but he probably hoped that he died directly, because it would make him feel better.

With the sound of a slight explosion, the expected shrapnel flying horizontally did not appear, replaced by a large canopy of flames.Viscous colloidal gasoline was splashed around by the power of the explosion, burning everything that could be ignited. This is obviously the unique napalm bomb of the West Special Army.

Chapter 87 Burning Pyongyang

This is how Takao Suzuki was burned to death by jelly gasoline. At the same time, there are not a few Japanese soldiers who died in the same way as him.Because the target was the entire city of Pyongyang, the bombers did not lower their altitude for safety reasons. They opened the magazine at an altitude of 500 meters. A series of napalm bombs fell on the ground one after another, turning the entire city into a sea of ​​flames. .

Facts have proved that all soldiers who have been on the battlefield have a hard side, and Cai Songpo is no exception.In the face of heavy casualties of soldiers, he chose to resolve the battle in the fastest way.

The bombers dropped their bombs in circles from the outside to the inside. They did not leave any passage for the Japanese soldiers to escape. Even the winding Datong River was burned to boiling water.The fire burned all night, and when the east was slightly pale, the entire city of Pyongyang had become a smoldering ruin. No one could escape from more than 20 Japanese soldiers and nearly 50 Japanese immigrants. Burnt to death in this great tomb.
