Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The roar of artillery and the rain of artillery shells, especially the bombardment of rocket launchers, exploded into a sea of ??death and fire. Under the artillery fire of the vanguard of the North China Field Corps, Asahikawa City burned, trembled, and was destroyed. Yuan Jinghao's face was red by the firelight.  , but with a deep cold expression, the coldness in his eyes has not diminished at all.

    Chief of Staff Han Guangqi came to report, "Commander, the troops attacking Zhixing, Yinweizifu, and Tianyan encountered the same situation. The troops suffered casualties, especially the troops attacking Zhixing. They were not prepared for the heavy casualties. They called the Corps for instructions.  department"

    Before Han Guangqi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yuan Jinghao, "What are you asking for? Aren't the orders from the division commander and the corps headquarters clear enough? Are the cannons in their hands just for food? Since the Japanese are looking for death, then they will be granted their wish!"  Use artillery fire to clear the way and destroy all targets that hinder the advancement of the troops! "

    As night fell, on a mountain peak dozens of kilometers away from Asahikawa, Lieutenant General Kase Masaga, commander of Japan's Hokkaido Defense Region Headquarters, accompanied by a large group of staff officers, looked at Asahikawa City in the north. In the night, even though  It was tens of kilometers away, the soaring fire that reflected half of the sky was still clearly visible, the thunderous sound of cannons echoed in the air, and the strong smell of gunpowder smoke and burnt smell floated in the wind!

    "Alas!" Lieutenant General Kase sighed. He knew in his heart that under such fierce artillery fire from the China Division, Asahikawa Castle must have been completely wiped out. He did not expect that the commander of the China Division attacking Hokkaido would be like this.  Cruel and cruel, after Asahikawa suffered slight losses, he resorted to razing Asahikawa.  With nearly a thousand artillery pieces, several Asahikawa Castles are not enough to blow up!

    Lieutenant General Kase sighed.  It was not because of his orders that hundreds of thousands of civilians in Asahikawa City died.  The city was reduced to ruins. He regretted that the hundreds of thousands of imperial citizens in Asahikawa City had not fully played their role and had not achieved their tactical goals and caused enough damage to the Chinese soldiers. What good cannon fodder and human bombs,  What a pity!

    The chief of staff, Major General Yamano, misunderstood the commander's sigh.  He comforted and reminded: "Your Majesty Commander, the matter is over, you don't have to worry about the broken Asahikawa civilians. They are loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. However, the brutality of the Chinese people has reminded the staff of the upcoming battle."  , do we try to reduce the use of civilian armed forces with little effect and heavy casualties?¡±

    "No. Yamano-kun, you don't understand!" Lieutenant General Kase shook his head and said: "It is their destined destiny to be born in Hokkaido, to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan. This is their only value, even if ten  The lives of a hundred armed civilians were worth the death of one Chinese soldier! They are now conscious weapons!"

    Chief of Staff Yamano remained silent, admitting that what Commander Kase said was correct.  But psychologically, it¡¯s still hard to accept.  "Okay Yamano-kun, don't worry about these things!" Lieutenant General Kase continued to say in an emotionless tone: "When the armed civilians in Hokkaido have fulfilled their obligations, it will be time for the emperor to go into battle, on the Sapporo front line  , we will fight to the death with the China Division troops until everyone is shattered, including you and me!"

    Chief of Staff Yamano's heart trembled. He could hear that Lieutenant General Kase already had a death wish in his heart, but he did not have the determination to die in Hokkaido. It was better to live than to die. He had to  Thinking of his own plan, he asked: "Commander, based on your judgment, when will the decisive battle with the China Division troops in Sapporo take place?"

    Lieutenant General Kase said with certainty: "There are millions of armed civilians of the empire in Hokkaido. They can use their own flesh and blood to block the Chinese troops for more than two months, which is enough for us to deploy on the Sapporo front line."  !¡±

    "Two months?" Chief of Staff Yamano thought to himself. Looking at the flames soaring in the direction of Asahikawa, the smell of gunpowder smoke and the booming sound of artillery blowing in the wind, he couldn't help but doubt Lieutenant General Kase's confidence.

    The bombardment of Asahikawa continues and gradually extends to the south of the city. Yuan Jinghao's plan is to use artillery shells to blast a passage in Asahikawa, even flatten the entire city, and remove this nail on the main road to Sapporo.  , the behavior of the Japanese in Asahikawa Castle completely angered him.

    After dawn, the sound of artillery subsided, and most of Asahikawa City had become ruins, enough to open a passage. Yuan Jinghao, who was sleeping in the armored command vehicle with his head covered, was awakened by Chief of Staff Han Guangqi, "Commander, it's dawn.  , according to the report of the reconnaissance force sent out, the Japanese who survived the bombardment in Asahikawa Castle began to flee the city and fled towards Sapporo. The brigade commanders asked for instructions whether to send troops to pursue them? "

    "What are you chasing after a bunch of bastards who don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin?" Yuan Jinghao said coldly: "Order the troops to clear the passage immediately and pass through Asahikawa quickly. They have already wasted about eight hours, and there is no time to delay here.put!  "

    It was indeed delayed. According to the original battle plan, it took about five hours to capture Asahikawa yesterday evening. The troops marched south overnight and should have reached the Iwamizawa line by now. However, they were delayed for more than ten hours in Asahikawa, and Yuan Jinghao was full.  anger.

    Asahikawa has become an empty city full of ruins. The cannonballs flying and falling in the sky, the explosions shaking the earth, the collapse of houses, and the fire rising into the sky instantly transformed into a pile of human bodies of flesh and blood. They will always be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.  The idea was practical and cruel. The Japanese in Asahikawa City threw away the bombs on their bodies and at the same time discarded the idea of ??being loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. They scrambled to escape from the hellish city and headed towards Sapporo.

    Therefore, when the troops were clearing the roads in Asahikawa Castle, they did not encounter any obstacles. At noon, Yuan Jinghao's command post passed through the rubble-filled Asahikawa Castle and headed towards Sapporo.

    A few hours later, the leading troops of the division's right-wing attack group and the troops that captured other targets also gathered in the direction of Asahikawa. They saw a ruined city. No one among the officers and soldiers was surprised because they had seen everything they had done last night.  The target was captured using the same means. What was left behind was the same town in ruins, as well as an unknown number of Japanese who survived.

    One day later, Lieutenant General Sun Zhenbang, commander of the right-wing offensive group and commander of the North China Field Corps, commanded the second echelon of troops to reach the north of Asahikawa City. Although along the way, he saw that the target areas of the attack, such as Edasuki, Einweizifu, and Tianyan, were turned into ruins.  But none of them were as big as the scene in Asahikawa.

    Sun Zhenbang jumped off the armored command vehicle, smelled the pungent burnt smell, and looked at a spacious road passing through the ruins of the city. He couldn't help but grinned and muttered: "Good guy, Yuan Jinghao is enough."  It was so cruel that it flattened a city. I wonder how many shells were consumed? "

    A military map was spread out on the front of the car. Sun Zhenbang's eyes wandered over the map. He suddenly turned to Major General Wang Jun, Chief of Staff of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps and said: "Chief of Staff, order the logistics department to urgently allocate artillery shells to Commander Yuan's vanguard.  And oil, the more quantity, the better. On the way from Asahikawa to Sapporo, you really have to use artillery shells to blast it!¡±

    Sun Zhenbang is not exaggerating. After Yuan Jinghao's vanguard troops left Asahikawa, they went to the Iwamizawa area, which is less than 70 kilometers away from Sapporo. The journey of several hundred kilometers was really bombed and shot with artillery shells along the way.  The journey lasted seven days.

    The civilians in Hokkaido, Japan, have indeed tough and aggressive folk customs. Probably because of the lessons learned from Asahikawa Castle and other areas, they have not aroused the fear of these Japanese who are full of ideas of loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor. In other words, the Japanese who want to die are even more  many.

    Cold guns, suicide bombs and landmines, as well as the destruction of bridges and roads, will appear at any time. Yuan Jinghao's vanguard is like a magnet, strongly attracting the Japanese. In this regard, Yuan Jinghao's response method is absolutely simple, which is ruthless firepower  The attack was such that the Japanese did not dare to move forward, and the Japanese fled after seeing the division's flag.

    If a bullet is fired from a cold gun on the roadside, I will fire ten shells at you. Until the gunman is blown to pieces, a suicide bomber will be thrown out. Immediately, he will be greeted by raindrops of bullets from light and heavy machine guns. When he encounters villages and towns, he will first be bombarded with shells.  Smash it over, and then give the Japanese inside time to get out. Then, the target disappears in the storm of artillery fire.

    At that time, the staff officers of the North China Field Corps Headquarters were all whispering in private, "Have you noticed that our commander's eyes are all red now! He has murderous intent all over his body!" "What's so good about it?  It¡¯s strange, they killed so many people, they naturally have murderous intent!¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you see that the eyes of the brigade commanders who came to the Corps Headquarters were all red and purple!¡±

    Lieutenant General Kase Masaga, commander of Japan's Hokkaido Defense Region Headquarters, expected to use the flesh and blood of more than a million armed civilians in Hokkaido to hold off the division's troops for more than two months, but Yuan Jinghao commanded a 150,000 vanguard force and it took a week  , they hit the Iwasawami area near Sapporo, and the troops approached Sapporo, the location of Lieutenant General Kase's final decisive battle.

    Wherever the leading troops of the division's right-wing attack group passed, villages and towns were left in ruins, and an unknown number of Japanese armed civilians were buried. Their minds were filled with loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor, and killing the soldiers of the China Division was the highest honor. This is  A road of killing, in the end, the killing made the Japanese in Hokkaido lose their souls and lose their courage.

    When the troops arrived at Iwamizawa, Iwamizawa Castle, which has a population of nearly 100,000, heard the roar of tank engines from the north and smelled the thick murderous aura in the air.  The family members fled directly to Sapporo without any courage.

    Iwamizawa was left with an empty city for Yuan Jinghao, but for Lieutenant General Kase,It's a huge problem.
