Bright Sword: Starting from the Improved Grenade

"Sorry Commander, I failed to defend Shenyang!"

At eight o'clock in the evening, Hou Gongjun, who was riding on a professional fishing boat for officers, came to the tent and saw the gloomy-faced Umezu devils.

"Where did the enemy attack?"

The Umezu devil asked calmly.

"We just captured Shenyang and Siping not long ago."

Hou Gongchun said with a guilty conscience: "But I have re-arranged a circular defense line in Meihekou, Qingyuan, Xinbin, Hengren and other places. The enemy cannot reach Tonghua for a while!"

"asshole..."

"Report, Commander Kita Seiichi has arrived!"

Just as the Umezu devil was about to start cursing, the guard at the door came in and reported.

Upon hearing this, the Umezu devil waved his hand, and soon Kita Seichi walked in.

"Sorry Commander, Changchun and Jilin have been lost!"

"Ok!"

Facing Kita Seiichi, the Umezu devil seemed much more generous: "How many troops did you bring back?"

"About 10,000 people!"

Kita Seiichi whispered.

“That’s pretty good.”

Mei Jin said comfortingly: "The Eighth Route Army is fierce. It's hard for you to retreat all the way. Go down and rest quickly. I will arrange for your people to cross the river as soon as possible!"

"Thank you, Commander!"

Kita Makoto bowed and saluted, then, led by a guard, entered a tent to rest.

After being interrupted one by one by Kita Makoto, Umezu no longer had the heart to continue cursing.

He just ordered Hou Gong Chun to quickly return to Tonghua to organize defense work and buy time for the soldiers to retreat!

But now the Japanese army is losing ground, and with Korea as their retreat route, the defending Japanese army has no intention of continuing the fight.

Everyone was thinking about crossing the river and escaping as quickly as possible. With this in mind, the Eighth Route Army reached the city of Tonghua in less than three days.

"You guys hold on, I'll go get some reinforcements!"

While the main force of the Eighth Route Army had not yet arrived, Hou Gong Chun left a message and took his guard troops on a pre-hidden fishing boat to cross the river first.

Without Hou Gong Chun as the backbone, as soon as the Eighth Route Army arrived, the defenders in the city became chaotic before they could even fire a few shots. They opened the South Gate and ran towards the Yalu River.

"Baga, let me cross the bridge first!"

"Asshole, I saw this ship first!"

At the Yalu River Bridge, Yukio Kasahara, who was patrolling the shore, suddenly noticed a quarrel on the other side of the river.

"Call and ask what's going on over there, there's so much noise!"

"Hi!"

A Japanese soldier quickly ran to the guard post near the bridge and made a phone call.

I don't know what he heard, but the Japanese soldier's face changed drastically. He put down the phone and quickly ran to Yukio Kasahara.

"Report to the Chief of Staff, the other side said that the Eighth Route Army is coming, and the defeated soldiers are fighting for the opportunity to cross the bridge!"

"what!"

As Kasahara Yukio walked towards the temporary headquarters, he ordered: "Get ready to blow up the bridge!"

"Commander, the Eighth Route Army is about to reach the Yalu River!"

Hearing this, Meijin put down the cup of tea he had just passed to his mouth and asked: "How many soldiers have crossed the river now?"

"Report to the commander, 40,000 people!"

"Including those who crossed the river earlier, we have transported a total of 120,000 people across the river!"

"very good already!"

The Meijin devil stood up and while collecting the items on the table, he said, "Blow up the bridge and order the soldiers on the other side of the bridge to fight the Eighth Route Army on the spot!"

"Hi!"

Yukio Kasahara did not hesitate, as long as he did not have to fight against the Eighth Route Army.

After packing up the things on the table, the Umezu devil began to retreat with the staff of the headquarters. This time he would retreat directly to Seoul.

At this time, the Japanese soldiers who were still fighting for the opportunity to cross the river had almost no idea what was waiting for them!

"Order the soldiers on the bridge to get off immediately and blow up the bridge in one minute!"

After giving this order to the captain of the Jiang defense team, Yukio Kasahara chased in the direction of the Umezu devils without looking back.

"Captain, are you really going to blow up the bridge?"

A Japanese soldier whispered to the captain of the Jiang Defense Team.

"this......"

The captain of the river defense team was troubled when he saw the densely packed Japanese soldiers on the bridge.

All the officers of some degree or higher rank had run away, leaving only him, a small river defense captain, to blow up the bridge.

Blowing up the bridge is not a big deal, but the problem is that once the bridge is blown up, more than 100,000 Japanese soldiers on the opposite side will be killed, and he cannot take this responsibility!

"Bomber, bomber~"

Just as the captain of the Jiang defense team was hesitating, cries of fear were heard.

"Blow up the bridge."

The captain of the Jiang defense team looked at the plane in the sky and gave the order to blow up the bridge without hesitation.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

Several loud noises were heard, and this bridge that spanned the borders of China and North Korea and could carry thousands of people at the same time collapsed. The Japanese soldiers on it were caught off guard and fell down one after another.

"let's go!"

After completing the mission, the Jiang Defense Captain did not hesitate and began to flee with his men, leaving behind a group of Japanese soldiers who looked at the broken bridge in disbelief.

"Boom boom boom...."

The bridge was broken, and the bomber captain was also confused for a moment.

But since they were already here, it would be unreasonable not to blow something up, so they decisively chose to drop incendiary bombs at the crowded area near the river.

Incendiary bombs quickly ignited the shore, and the high-rising black smoke also attracted the Eighth Route Army who were acting as vanguards.

After discovering the Japanese soldiers running around near the bridge, they immediately sent the news back via the radio.

Less than half an hour later, the main force of the Eighth Route Army arrived.

"on!"

An Eighth Route Army Corps commander took the lead and said: "Those with flames on their bodies will be shot directly. As for the rest of the Japanese, we will warn them once. If they don't listen, we will shoot them to death!"

.............

Shenyang.

The commanders of the five armies successfully gathered in the city!

"Commander-in-chief, now all the major cities in the Northeast are in our hands."

In the meeting room, the chief of staff held a telegram and said to the commander-in-chief: "There's news just now from the front that the troops have chased to the Yalu River, but the Japanese blew up the bridge themselves."

"The frontline troops asked if we should find another place to cross the river and continue the pursuit?"

"no need!"

The commander-in-chief looked at the many officers present and said jokingly, "We have been fighting for almost a month. It's time for everyone to take a break, drink some wine and eat something delicious!"

"Haha, what the commander-in-chief said is very good!"

Xu Shiyou quickly replied, "In order to fight this battle well, I haven't drunk for two months. This time I'm going to drink enough!"

"Hahaha, don't worry."

Commander Luo smiled faintly and said, "The Logistics Department has already started collecting supplies for us. To celebrate the recovery of Northeast China, cigarettes and alcohol are being shipped to Northeast China by trainloads!"

"That's daring!"

Looking at everyone happily discussing the conference dinner, the commander-in-chief pulled the domineering man aside.

"The war in the Northeast is almost over. What's next is to eliminate the bandits and defeat the Japanese scattered across the country."

"But there is a group of Japanese bunkers in Hulun Lake and Hailar area!"

"Don't worry about this."

The domineering man immediately understood what it meant: "I will send the troops back immediately to see if I can persuade them to surrender. If not, I will starve them for a few months!"

"Yes, I think so too!"

The commander-in-chief nodded and said, "We have already conquered the Northeast. There is no need to waste troops in small places."

"Okay, then I'll arrange for Li Yunlong to go. This guy has a lot of tricks!"
