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

The crowd suddenly exploded with screams, cries and shouts mixed together in chaos.

The children were so frightened that they cried loudly, and the women covered their mouths tightly, suppressing their inner fear. Some brave people picked up stones on the ground with trembling hands, preparing for the final resistance.

However, the leader in white shouted in Japanese!

"Don't be afraid, we are from Ibaraki Prefecture. I am Major Haruo Sagawa!"

In an instant, the extremely tense atmosphere in the crowd relaxed like a punctured balloon.

Some people let out a long and heavy sigh, as if they had let out all the fear that had been accumulating in their hearts for a long time; some people rubbed their eyes in disbelief, fearing that this was an illusion caused by their extreme fear; others were so excited that tears filled their eyes, and the tears flowed down their cold cheeks.

Yumiko Watanabe was the most emotional one among them. Because she was from Ibaraki Prefecture, her face, which was originally as pale as paper, was flushed at this moment. She covered her mouth with trembling hands, and the tears in her eyes rushed out like a flood.

Next to her was her young son Jiro, who was trembling with fear and snuggling tightly in his mother's arms. She gently stroked her son's head and said in a tearful voice: "Don't be afraid, that's our own team!"

Major Haruo Sagawa quickly came to the front of the people. He had an upright posture and a stern look, and seemed to bring everyone the much-needed sense of security!

He briefly asked the people who escaped from Tokyo about the situation in Tokyo. The people talked at once, and described the current miserable state of Tokyo with tears and fear!

After listening to this, Major Haruo Sagawa's eyes flashed with anger and determination. He nodded slightly, then raised his arm and waved goodbye to everyone. The action was firm and decisive, as if to show everyone his determination.

The Japanese soldiers turned around in unison and continued to march towards Tokyo with firm steps.

These are the real warriors!

Yumiko Watanabe and others had tears in their eyes, leaving clear streaks on their cheeks. They kept waving their hands, mumbling words of thanks and blessings, their hearts full of respect and reluctance to part with these brave soldiers.

The Warriors just turned around!

A few dazzling streaks of fire flashed across the distant sky, and then a sharp whistling sound pierced the silent air like a devil's roar.

A string of machine gun shells came down like raindrops, exploding around the Japanese troops. The huge air waves stirred up layers of snow and fog, instantly shrouding the entire team in chaos.

Major Haruo Sagawa's eyes widened instantly, and he realized the danger in that brief moment. He shouted loudly: "Disperse!" The sound was so weak in the explosion.

A string of shells instantly penetrated his body. The major's head was also smashed to pieces by the shells. Blood and brain matter splashed everywhere like a fountain, splashing on the white snow, forming a shocking pattern. The originally resolute face became fragmented in an instant, and there was no trace of life anymore.

Machine gun shells were still flying, mixed with the sound of machine gun fire, and the snow was already littered with the bodies of soldiers!

Yumiko Watanabe was covered in blood and brain matter. She stared blankly ahead with her eyes wide open, as if she couldn't believe what was happening before her eyes. Her body was as stiff as a stone, and her hands hung limply at her sides!

Her lips trembled slightly, and she wanted to shout, but it was as if an invisible hand was strangling her throat, and she couldn't make a sound. Tears rolled in her eyes, but they didn't fall, as if she was stunned by this cruel reality and fell into a numb stalemate.

On the land stained with blood and snow, Major Haruo Sagawa's broken body collapsed to the ground. Blood was still flowing, entangled with the white snow, forming a shocking picture.

The tragic situation of the soldiers was also being played out all around them, with broken limbs and arms scattered all over the place. The roar of machine guns and the screams of the soldiers before their death were still echoing in the air.

The eyes of the Japanese people, which originally still held a glimmer of hope, were instantly filled with greater fear.

The crowd reacted instantly, like a flock of frightened sheep. Some ran to the east, some ran to the west, completely lost.

About 1 km away,

Dozens of chariots were lined up in a row.

In a command vehicle,

Tan Rongfei, the commander of the 3nd Battalion of the 2rd Brigade of the Haizhou National Army, was yelling at the liaison officer of the Land Aviation,

"Call for an air strike! Quick! Quick!"

He received an order from the brigade in the afternoon to close the road out of the city!

The army is short of manpower, so it usually relies on the support of the navy and air force.

This has led to a habit in all army battalions: no matter what enemy situation they encounter, they will first call for planes!

Not long after, 16 Qinglong 2 fighter jets of the Army Aviation flew in from the direction of Yokosuka. This time, what were mounted under the wings were not air-to-air missiles, but 500-kilogram bombs!

It's dark now.

Tan Rongfei ordered the firing of flares to the north to guide the air strikes on ground targets.

The Qinglong 2 fighters circled for a while but didn't see any valuable targets, so they threw their bombs randomly and flew back in a hurry!

At this moment, the city of Tokyo was still ablaze with flames, explosions and fierce gunfire.

Naval gun air strikes are now online 24 hours a day!

The front-line commander Hou Zhuangzhuang has not ordered a general attack. The attacks launched from the south and east are actually tentative!

He had a serious shortage of troops and could not attack Tokyo by force, so Hou Zhuangzhuang's strategy was to surround three areas and release one, hoping that the defenders of Tokyo would withdraw.

However, it seems that the effect has not been good in the past few days. The defenders of Tokyo are now desperately defending.

Therefore, Hou Zhuangzhuang decided to surround but not attack, first cutting off the communication channels between Tokyo and other regions, and at the same time opening up new landing points in other parts of Japan!

The crazy bombardment and bombardment over the past few days has caused the population of Tokyo to drop rapidly from 550 million to 400 million! And 50% of the buildings in the city have been destroyed.

In addition, today, the third batch of reinforcements dispatched by Dingshan also began to land. Hou Zhuangzhuang decided to shrink the encirclement and cut off all the roads out of the city to the north!

The third batch of reinforcements included the newly formed 7th Infantry Brigade, the 8th and 15th Divisions of the Philippine Army, the 11th Division of the Indonesian Army, the 3rd Division of Malaysia, etc.

In this way, the total number of ground troops besieging Tokyo has reached more than 27! The day of the general attack should be getting closer!
