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

Tokyo, Musashi-Koyama Shopping Street,

The sun began to set,

The noise of the fierce battle during the day has dissipated, leaving only a mess of ruins, like hideous wounds torn open on the earth.

The soldiers of the 55th Philippine Regiment began to assemble beside the ruins, dragging their slightly tired but still upright bodies.

Today, the 55th Regiment of the Philippines is responsible for clearing this neighborhood. Now it is not called an attack, but clearing one house at a time!

The so-called cleanup attack is a new tactic adopted by the siege troops in the past two days. First, call in heavy firepower to cover the area, and then send a small reconnaissance force forward. If they encounter resistance, they will simply bomb every house into slag and no longer pursue the rapid occupation of Tokyo!

To this end, each siege force assigned all of its tanks, armored vehicles, and recoilless guns to the front-line troops, and Ding Shan ordered that 1000 million artillery shells of various calibers be provided to each unit from the country!

Don’t the Japanese like to die with honor?

Then welcome to die with honor!

Anyway, we have endless ammunition!

Musashi Koyama Commercial Street is close to the core area of Tokyo, and is even less than three kilometers away from the Emperor's Palace! Therefore, the resistance of this commercial street is also particularly fierce!

On that day, the 55th Regiment of the Philippines, with 6 medium tanks, 29 armored vehicles, and 4 recoilless guns, fought from morning to night with the cooperation of aircraft and naval guns, firing more than 5000 shells continuously!

Finally, all the remaining buildings in the entire commercial street were razed to the ground!

After clearing out the remaining enemies in the ruins, the regiment commander Jose was somewhat complacent. The casualties of the entire regiment were less than two hundred in one day. Everyone said that the Japs were so powerful, but in front of the 55th Regiment, they were nothing but trash!

At the east end of the commercial street,

Trucks coming from the rear were lined up in an orderly manner, loaded with abundant logistical supplies.

Among them, brand new tents are stacked like mountains. These tents are specially designed to cope with various harsh environments. They are tough, waterproof and windproof. They will provide soldiers with a relatively safe and warm shelter on these nights filled with the smell of gunpowder.

The soldiers acted quickly and cooperated tacitly. A dozen strong soldiers skillfully unloaded the tent parts from the car and began to build them. Their movements were quick and neat. Soon, tents rose from the ground beside the ruins, forming a unique landscape in the dim twilight.

At the same time, the field dining car was bustling with activity. The fire in the dining car was burning, and the beef and radish stewed in the pot exuded a rich aroma. The mellow meat aroma and the sweet radish flavor intertwined and filled the air, causing the soldiers to swallow their saliva from time to time. In the thermos bucket next to it was steaming hot milk, and the rich milk aroma added a touch of warmth to this battlefield filled with gunpowder.

"Let's eat!" With the loud shout of the cook, the soldiers gathered around, holding their plates with satisfied smiles on their faces.

Some soldiers couldn't wait to scoop a big spoonful of beef and radish, and the heat instantly blurred their faces; others poured a glass of milk first, took a sip gently, and let the warmth flow down their throats into their hearts.

After Jose arrived in Japan, what he liked and appreciated the most was the equal treatment of the coalition forces in terms of logistical supplies by the Haizhou Kingdom.

In addition to tents, the troops received unlimited supplies of ammunition and food!

For example, in terms of military rations, the variety is extremely rich, ranging from canned food, biscuits, cigarettes, wine, milk powder, instant noodles, pre-prepared dishes, various types of meat to rice, flour, etc., and each unit can place an order according to its own needs!

In short, the main point is that you can eat whatever you want!

Night is coming soon.

After eating and drinking,

After a day of exhaustion, the Philippine soldiers fell into a deep sleep in the makeshift camp on the street. Their faces looked particularly peaceful in the night, as if they had forgotten the cruelty of war and the turmoil of life, and soon they began to snore!

However, at this seemingly peaceful moment, deep underground, pairs of green eyes were flashing in the darkness.

Groups of Japanese soldiers, their eyes burning with enthusiasm and determination, tightly grasping their weapons, rushed out of the underground fortifications like ghosts. Their uniforms were shabby and messy, like ghosts in the night.

The exits of these underground fortifications are extremely hidden, like the mouths of giant beasts hidden in the darkness.

They are hidden in the basements of abandoned houses on the street, and those shabby door panels seem to connect to another world; or they are disguised under the manhole covers on the street, which are almost integrated with the surrounding road surface. If you don’t observe carefully, it is difficult to find the hidden mystery. Some exits are cleverly integrated into the flower beds and bushes on the street. The cover of branches and leaves makes them blend perfectly with the natural environment, as if they were born as part of the street landscape.

Although more than half of the exits had been destroyed or buried in the melee during the day, there were still some exits hidden in unknown places!

These crazy Japanese soldiers did not say a word. Some of them held grenades tightly in their hands with their fingers on the pull rings, as if the slightest carelessness would trigger the death switch; others carried bags of explosives, and the heavy bags of explosives looked particularly abrupt on their thin bodies.

When they rushed into the camp of the Filipino soldiers, there was still silence, no shouting, no roaring, only the cold murderous intent filled the air.

They rushed straight towards the tents!

Like deadly bullets!

A Japanese soldier entered the tent and rushed towards a group of sleeping Filipino soldiers. The moment he approached, he suddenly pulled the ring of the grenade. With a loud "bang", the flames instantly illuminated the dark night sky. Debris and blood splattered everywhere. The surrounding Filipino soldiers were awakened by the sudden explosion in their sleep. Before they could react, they were swallowed up by the air wave and shrapnel.

When the first explosion sounded, the eyes of several patrolling Filipino sentries widened instantly, and the expressions on their faces froze at that moment, followed by extreme panic.

The sentinels looked around in panic, trying to figure out where these Japanese soldiers came from. Their eyes were full of fear and confusion, and their heads turned rapidly, but they could not find the answer.

Some sentries stumbled back a few steps, almost falling to the ground. Their minds were in a mess, and they could not comprehend what was happening before their eyes. The defense line that they thought they were vigilant on weekdays collapsed in an instant in front of these sudden appearances of Japanese soldiers.

After a brief moment of consternation, a sentry finally shouted in fear: "Enemy! The enemy is coming! I don't know where they are coming from!"

But at this time, the Japanese soldiers had already poured into the street like a tide, holding grenades and explosive packs, with determination and madness in their eyes, rushing towards the Filipino soldiers who were still sleeping.

The loud explosions continued!
