However, due to the sudden situation, the Japanese Army did not expect that the Navy's First Fleet would be defeated so quickly.

As a result, the Northeast Navy and its landing force suddenly arrived, so the Japanese on Kyushu Island were completely caught off guard.

Inside the division headquarters in Kurume, the current commander of the 18th Division, Nakamura Yaichi, and the chief of staff, Yungo Hyakuga, were anxiously discussing the military situation.

"Hakuga-kun, how is the troop gathering going?" Nakamura Yaichi asked.

"General, the 114th Infantry Regiment in Fukuoka and the 56th Infantry Regiment in Kurume are urgently gathering. The 55th Infantry Regiment stationed on Kyushu Island should have arrived at the coast of the Toga River." Chief of Staff Yungo Yungo finished his words.

.

A rush of footsteps sounded from outside, and a Japanese communications soldier ran in in a panic. Without saluting, he said: "Your Excellency, General, it's bad. The 55th Infantry Regiment encountered the China Army's armored assault force on the way to rescue. Unfortunately.

was defeated, the main force of the regiment was completely lost, and Kitakyushu has been surrounded by the Chinese. The situation is extremely urgent, and the commander of the garrison, Lieutenant Colonel Ohno, requested urgent reinforcements!"

The expressions of Nakamura Yaichi and Yuri Yungo suddenly changed, and they all took a breath of air and said: "The Chinese are so fast?"

"Your Majesty General, the current situation is critical. We don't care about waiting for the troops to be assembled. It is better to quickly set off the troops that have been assembled to help Kitakyushu Island. In addition, the Chinese have come ashore, and their troops must be quite large. It is probably not just one of us.

What the division can handle.

I humbly suggest that the general should immediately send a message to the 60th Regiment in Kumamoto and the Army Ministry for reinforcements." Yungo Momiga quickly cut through the mess.

"Yo Xi, let's do it like this." Nakamura Yaichi nodded happily.

………………

On the beach of Yuanhe River, Wang Tiehan, accompanied by a large group of staff adjutants and guards, got off the landing craft and stepped ashore.

Wang Tiehan looked around with a solemn expression, and said with some excitement and choked up: "Brothers, this is the territory of Little Japan. In recent hundreds of years, Japanese invaders have repeatedly invaded the borders of our Chinese territory.

Now it is finally our turn to take revenge. The Japanese killed my compatriots, burned our houses, and robbed our property. We must pay them back ten times and a hundred times!"

A staff officer who graduated from Longxing Military Academy advised: "Deputy Commander, your mood is understandable, but these are not the most important at the moment. Our top priority should be to quickly capture Kitakyushu, and then seize the opportunity to block the Kanmon Strait.

As for revenge, as long as we successfully capture Kyushu Island, are you afraid that we won’t have a chance?"

Wang Tiehan suddenly woke up and nodded immediately: "Yes, Staff Li, you are right to remind me, I almost forgot the top priority assigned to us by the chief executive.

Immediately order each regiment to launch an attack quickly, and we must seize Kitakyushu and block the Kanmon Strait before Japanese reinforcements arrive."

"Yes." All the subordinates stepped forward and responded, and two of them quickly took the order and left to convey the order.

Before Wang Tiehan came ashore, almost all the 60,000-strong army had landed, and all divisions and regiments were rapidly gathering.

The naval fleet also began its return voyage.

It didn't take long for the temporary headquarters to be set up. Under the guidance of a staff officer, Wang Tiehan and others arrived at the headquarters.

When the commander and others of the 117th Division saw Wang Tiehan, they all stood up and saluted.

Wang Tiehan waved his hand to indicate that they did not need to be polite, and then asked: "How is it? How are the groups gathering?"

"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, they have all been assembled. The tank regiment of the 106th Division and the 729th Battalion have reached the foot of Kitakyushu Castle. The attack is currently being organized," a division commander reported.

"Alright, Kitakyushu City will be handed over to my 106th Division. Your 107th and 117th Divisions will immediately bypass Kitakyushu and seize the ferries of the Kanmon Strait. All ships will be destroyed. All Japanese approaching the Kanmon Strait will be killed and blocked immediately.

Kanmon Strait." Wang Tiehan looked at the map and made a decision immediately.

"Yes!" Several division and regimental commanders stepped forward and responded, then turned around and took the order.

At this time, a staff officer came over with a telegram in hand and saluted Wang Tiehan: "Commander-in-Chief, the Air Force is calling. The fleet of aircraft that previously conducted air strikes on the Kanmon Strait has been re-prepared and can take off at any time to help us."

"There are not many Japanese defenders in Kitakyushu. We don't need their direct support. Let's call them back and ask them to immediately carry out air strikes and bombings on bridges, passes and other important transportation routes leading to Kitakyushu. If we can directly attack the Japanese

Reinforcements would be even better

In short, everything is to slow down the Japanese reinforcements and buy time for us to block the Kanmon Strait and build two sides of fortifications." Wang Tiehan pondered for a while, stopped the staff officer who was about to take the order and left: "Also, give the president

Commander, please send us a report on our current situation."

"Yes!" the staff officer responded loudly, then turned and left.

……………………

In Busan City, the Northeast Frontier Defense Army Headquarters.

"General, Wang Tiehan's 60,000 troops have all landed and are now attacking the Kanmon Strait. Everything is going smoothly so far." Jiang Baili took the message from the communications soldier and immediately turned to report to Zhang Xinghan with a smile.

Zhang Xinghan nodded when he heard this and said: "Well, very good. Call Wang Tiehan back. You must be quick. Before the Japanese army can react, quickly seize the Kanmon Strait. After that, kill me like a nail at all costs."

Where is the dead nail?

Whether they can win this battle on Kyushu Island depends on them."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Jiang Baili turned around and left.

Zhang Xinghan waved his hand to stop him and said: "Are the preparations for the second echelon of landing troops?"

Jiang Baili stopped and turned around and said: "Everything is ready. We can set off immediately after the naval fleet returns."

Zhang Xinghan bowed his head slightly with satisfaction and said: "Give the navy fleet power and ask them to return as quickly as possible. Time is the most important thing for us now! One minute less delay may save many lives."

"Yes, I will inform them right away." Jiang Baili stood up, turned and left.

………………

In the island city of Kitakyushu, a fierce battle is raging.

Hundreds of Panzer IV tanks and more than a thousand Chinese soldiers have surrounded this small town on Kitakyushu Island from all sides and are currently attacking it fiercely.

Since the main force of the alliance left the city to reinforce Toga River, there were only less than one brigade of troops stationed in the city. With the addition of a group of remnant soldiers who returned from the defeat of the alliance, the force could reach the size of a brigade.

Although there were not many regular troops, tens of thousands of Japanese civilians in the city learned that the Chinese Army had actually attacked their doorsteps. In fear, the young and middle-aged people in the city picked up various swords, guns and sticks and organized themselves to join the ranks of the defenders.

Many of them are veterans who have served in the military, so once a soldier is killed in battle, they can quickly take over their guns and continue fighting.

Outside the city, the tank guns of hundreds of Panzer IV tanks kept firing, and the on-board machine guns on the tanks kept roaring. The infantry guns, mortars, and rocket launchers carried by the 729th Battalion also showed their power.

Continuous explosions and dense rain of machine gun bullets suppressed the Japanese soldiers and civilians on the top of the city, unable to raise their heads at all.

From time to time, unlucky Japanese were hit by stray bullets and fell into the city screaming.

Not long after, the city wall, which had been in disrepair for a long time, could not withstand the intensive bombardment of artillery fire, and a large section collapsed.

Dozens of the Japanese soldiers and civilians above fell to their deaths.

As soon as the city wall collapsed, hundreds of wolves and tigers from the Northeast Border Guard immediately rushed in with guns in hand and howls under the cover of more than a dozen tanks.

Under the cover of dense machine gun bullets, the Japanese troops who wanted to block the gaps in the city wall fell in droves.

More than 300 soldiers from two companies of 729 took advantage of the situation and swarmed in. The Garand rifles and MP38 submachine guns in their hands formed a rapid assault fire. The Japanese soldiers and civilians who came to resist fell like grass.

"Brothers, charge forward. Attack this city and leave no chickens or dogs behind!" Amidst the frenzied shouts of killing, a low-level officer who was not known to be a soldier or ruffian roared fervently.

This immediately aroused the bestiality and ferocity of these tiger and wolf soldiers.

With an absolute advantage in troops and firepower, they broke through the Japanese city defenses before the main force of the division arrived.

Since the Japanese civilians in the city also joined the ranks of the resisters, after entering the city, the red-eyed officers and soldiers of the Northeast Frontier Army launched an unprecedented indiscriminate fire.

More than 30,000 people in the city, young and old, were all slaughtered. Soon this small town on Kyushu Island turned into a hell on earth.

When Wang Tiehan led the main force to arrive, he saw dead Japanese corpses everywhere on the streets. Burnt houses were still billowing smoke, and in some remote corners, there were also naked Japanese corpses.

The woman's body is a desolate scene in the apocalypse.

Wang Tiehan watched all this with an expressionless face, turned around and said to the adjutants behind him: "Let the commander of the 729th Battalion come to see me immediately!"

"Yes!" An adjutant stood up and responded, but he was worried about the commander of the 729th Battalion.

Not long after, the commander of the 729th Battalion, with a gray face and wet blood stains on his uniform, came to Wang Tiehan.

Wang Tiehan looked at his subordinate and asked in a serious tone: "Who asked you to massacre the city?"

The commander of the 729th Battalion was happy and undaunted. He raised his head and held his chest high and said: "Reporting to the teacher, I did not intend to massacre the city, but the Japanese resisted throughout the city and killed our soldiers. I had no choice but to fire back!"

Wang Tiehan was so happy that he kicked the commander of the 729th Battalion on the buttocks and cursed with a smile: "You talk like farts, will children and old people resist? Also, why do all the women in the city like him?

Mother is naked, do they still need to take off their clothes when resisting?"

"Uh, um..." The commander of the 729th Battalion lowered his head in embarrassment.

"You kid!" Wang Tiehan patted him on the shoulder again and whispered: "Well done, the little Japanese have committed all kinds of crimes on our Chinese land, burning, killing, looting, and it's time for them to pay for their blood debt, but please remember this for me.

, if the Commander-in-Chief returns to pursue the case, he must do what you just said, and in addition, take people to clean up the city immediately to prevent the news from leaking!"

"Yes!" The commander of the 729th Battalion was overjoyed when he heard this and stood up to answer.
Chapter completed!
