Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

Tokyo, South,

On Meguro Street,

The whole street was immersed in a depressing silence, with ruins everywhere, and more than half of the houses had been destroyed in the artillery fire!

Thick black smoke hung low over the sky, like a heavy lead plate that could fall at any time.

The 2th Regiment of the 5nd Division of the Indonesian Army attacking Tokyo was like a black torrent, slowly advancing through the streets.

The soldiers' leather boots made a "tapping" sound as they stepped on the stone road, and every step was filled with tension and vigilance.

The huge and cold body of the tank moved slowly in the team. The "clicking" sound made by the friction between the tracks and the ground was like the ominous sound of the gears of fate turning.

Suddenly, the silence was broken by the muffled sound of footsteps, like the faint thunder before a storm.

Then, a dozen Japanese soldiers hiding in the ruins on both sides of the street suddenly jumped out from the dark corners like ghosts. Their eyes were red, their hair was messy, their faces were full of determination and madness, and they held explosive packs tightly in their hands, looking like evil spirits summoned by death.

A thin Japanese soldier jumped out of the window of a half-collapsed house. His steps were staggering but firm, and the bag of explosives in his hand flashed a dangerous canvas luster in the sun.

He ran towards the nearest tank, roaring like a wild animal. The machine gunner on the tank reacted quickly, pulling the trigger with his finger, and bullets flew out like locusts, splashing dust on the ground in front of him.

But the devil was not moved at all, and still rushed straight towards the tank like an enraged bull. With a loud "bang", he and the explosive pack exploded in front of the tank, and flames and thick smoke rose up instantly, covering the tank. Fragments flew like raindrops, and some hit the Indonesian soldiers next to them. They fell down screaming, and blood quickly spread on the stone road.

More Japanese soldiers poured out from the doors and windows of each house, and they pounced on the Indonesian army like a group of crazy ants.

The streets were instantly plunged into chaos, with shouting, gunfire, and explosions intertwined together, making people's eardrums hurt.

A Japanese soldier carrying a bag of explosives rushed towards a group of Indonesian soldiers huddled together. He was hit by several bullets while running, but his body only shook slightly and he still rushed forward tenaciously.

When he approached the soldiers, he threw the explosive pack with his last bit of strength, and then threw himself forward. With a "bang", blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the bodies of the Indonesian soldiers were blown away by the powerful air wave, with their limbs and arms flying in the air. The scene was horrible.

The Indonesian army quickly recovered from the initial shock and quickly organized a counterattack.

The soldiers raised their submachine guns and fired fiercely at the crazy Japanese soldiers. Bullets whizzed through the air, and Japanese soldiers were constantly shot down, but their offensive did not weaken at all. The streets were filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder and blood, and corpses were lying all over the ground, and the blood dyed the stone road dark red.

A tank lost its way in the chaos and was surrounded by a group of Japanese soldiers. They rushed in from all directions, like a group of hungry wolves besieging their prey. Some Japanese soldiers climbed onto the top of the tank and tried to stuff explosive packs into the tank's hatch.

Others looked for weak points around the tanks, ready to detonate the explosives in their hands.

The soldiers in the tank watched all this in horror, and desperately turned the turret and fired machine guns at the surrounding Japanese soldiers.

But there were too many Japanese soldiers. They kept coming forward, with people constantly falling and being replaced by others.

Finally, a pack of explosives exploded at the bottom of the tank, causing it to shake violently several times. The soldiers who climbed out of the tank were immediately overwhelmed by the swarming Japanese soldiers, and screams echoed in the streets.

The battle continued, and both sides were furious. The Japanese soldiers continued to charge frantically with explosives, while the Indonesian army resisted tenaciously.

Meguro Street turned into a huge slaughterhouse, every inch of land was soaked in blood and every inch of the air was filled with the smell of death.

From morning to noon, in the five-hour fighting, the Indonesian Army's 2nd Division Heavy Tank Battalion and the 5th Infantry Regiment lost a total of 37 tanks and more than 900 soldiers were killed or wounded!

By two o'clock in the afternoon, the 5th Regiment, which had suffered more than half of its casualties, withdrew from the battle, and was replaced by the Indonesian Army's 6th Regiment!

Haizhou State,

Army Headquarters,

The combat command center on the eighth floor!

Army Commander General Ding Shan, Army Deputy Commander Lieutenant General Zhang Wenjiu, Navy Deputy Commander Lieutenant General Guo Qiang and other senior military officers gathered around the sand table on the table!

Guo Qiang held a baton and pointed to a location on the sand table and said,

“今天下午3点开始，我们海军陆战队第2旅（欠1个营）和菲律宾第1师在仙台登陆，海军陆战队第3旅（欠两个营）和菲律宾第2师在名古屋登陆！”

"Old Guo, it looks like you need to expand the Marine Corps. The manpower is really too tight!"

Guo Qiang was also somewhat grumbling.

"Who said it wasn't? Our navy currently has 23 bases around the world, and we have to send people to garrison each base. The Marine Corps only has four brigades, which is not enough. Currently, not a single brigade is fully staffed!"

Ding Shan said,

"The president said that after this war, the ground forces will continue to expand. The army will increase to 10 brigades and the marine corps will increase to 8 brigades. Lao Guo, are you happy now?"

Guo Qiang was surprised.

"Really? If we can double the manpower, that should be enough!"

"Of course, this time we will first organize eight infantry battalions from the police across the country. Your vacancy will be filled soon!"

The largest reserve force in Haizhou State is actually the police, and the number of active police officers has reached 63.77!

Of course, the main problem is that starting with Yin Xinjun, all the senior executives felt that the usefulness of the army was weakening, and all the focus was on the navy and the air force! Another reason is that the national population is less than 4000 million, and the total number of the navy and air force has reached 107 million. Together with the police, the proportion of the national armed forces is actually not low!

However, this time, mainly because there were large-scale landing and occupation plans in both the Asian and European battlefields, Yin Xinjun thought of temporarily expanding the infantry strength!

Zhang Wenjiu said,

"Our Army Airborne Brigade plans to conduct a parachute drop in Gunma Prefecture, Japan tomorrow afternoon. This is the northernmost part of the Kanto Plain. Dropping here will block the Japanese devils' retreat!"

Guo Qiang smiled.

"Japan is an island country. No matter where the Japanese troops run now, they will die, unless they run to the mountains to fight guerrilla warfare!"

Ding Shan said excitedly,

"Haha, if they dare to run to the mountains, we will launch a winter crusade. Think about the past in the Northeast, the Japanese always crusade against us! This time it's our turn to crusade against them!"
