    This is Gaizhou, and the sound of artillery fire continues from yesterday afternoon to early this morning.

    Under the continuous bombardment of nearly a hundred artillery pieces from the 57th Division, Gaizhou County has now almost become a ruin.  The 57th Division has stopped four waves of infantry charges and is preparing to storm the county seat.  However, the soldiers of the Japanese 3rd Division resisted too tenaciously, and the 18th Regiment held on almost with the determination to die.  Every street, every alley, and every former residence may now have become a death fortress. Liu Jing'an threw his hat in anger.  The Japanese's determination to resist was beyond his imagination. In the past ten hours of fighting, their 57th Division had suffered close to 2,000 casualties under the sniper attacks of the 18th Regiment, which had only a quarter of their strength.

    Although the National People's Liberation Army has the advantage of infantry, the Japanese have built many bunkers in the city. Often one or two machine guns can block a street, making it impossible for dozens or hundreds of Wehrmacht soldiers to rush through.  Heavy artillery was inconvenient to move, and mortars could not cause much damage to Japanese military buildings. The two sides were in a stalemate.

    Occupying the right time and place, the 57th Division not only had the upper hand in terms of heavy weapons, but even in the hours before dark, it even called for Army Aviation planes to help them destroy many Japanese military buildings in the city. However, despite this,  They were still fighting like this.  While Liu Jing'an angrily scolded his subordinates several times, he was also secretly vigilant in his heart. The quality of Japanese soldiers was much higher than that of the National Defense Forces of the Republic of China, which was rapidly expanding its army.

    Previously, the General Staff reminded me that according to the General Staff's speculation, with the same equipment, the regular divisions of the National Defense Forces and the regular Japanese Class A divisions had a battle loss ratio of 3:1. He was still a little unconvinced. Now he is looking at the big picture from a small perspective.  The performance of the 18th Wing against them showed that what the General Staff mentioned was true.  The Japanese Army is truly a powerful force that cannot be underestimated!

    However, no matter how strong the army is, they cannot resist for long when faced with overwhelming force.

    Liu Jing'an put down the telescope, let out a long breath, pointed at the county town opposite where explosions and gunshots continued, and said to Lin Zhengyao, the chief of staff who was following him: "We captured the North City Gate at three o'clock, and in a few nearby alleys  Four hours have passed since the establishment of the forward position. At present, the county government office, Xixiaojie barracks, Beiwuxiang, and the eastern suburbs racecourse are the areas where the Japanese are resisting the most tenaciously. There are about a thousand people left.  Three to four hundred remaining Japanese soldiers resisted desperately."

    Lin Zhengyao took out a semi-old cowhide map from his breast pocket. It was a map of Gaizhou County drawn by the Qing Dynasty more than ten years ago. Since the Japanese took control of Gaizhou, they were very wary of China. It was difficult for the Republic of China to arrange manpower.  Draw the latest version of the map.

    "We should be able to take it in two hours!" Lin Zhengyao looked at the map for a while, then he clicked on the barracks with the strongest determination to resist. "There are more than three to four hundred people here, and two bunkers blocked us for half an hour.  The heavy artillery can't be hit, and the mortars can't be taken down. The Japanese built the position too carefully, and the soldiers were blocked there for a long time. I think we can call in the Army Aviation today. Let's call in a few groups of Army Aircraft.  , our encirclement has trapped the Japanese in Gaizhou here, with their help, we will try to give them a big hit in one go!"

    "Is it a plane" Liu Jing'an was in a much better mood, "I have already asked someone to contact me. Calculating the time, it is almost there! Inform the soldiers in contact with the front line to retreat and rest, and let the brothers from the Army Airlines first  Let Japan have a taste of hens laying eggs!¡±

    It is only a matter of time before Gaizhou is captured. This is something that everyone knows very well.  As one of the most elite divisions in Japan, the 18th Regiment of the Third Division stationed in Gaizhou did have the ability to stop the 57th Division from going south in a short period of time. However, it lost all its supplies in the face of overwhelming force.  The 18th Wing simply cannot sustain it for long.  Not to mention that the 57th Division that faced it had absolute advantages in heavy weapons and soldiers, and also had the help of Army Aviation.

    Destroy Jinzhou within 48 hours of the start of the war, the first and second lines of defense of Japan's Liaodong Peninsula where the Japanese Third Division is stationed.

    This is the order given by the General Staff to Li Jishen. With a stroke of his pen, Li Jishen gave another order to the 57th Division: to capture Gaizhou County, one of the two major checkpoints in Jinzhou, within 24 hours of the start of the war.

    It was not easy to capture Gaizhou within 24 hours. Under the desperate resistance of the Japanese 18th Regiment, the 57th Division suffered heavy casualties.  The Japanese once set up four 88mm Japanese infantry cannons on the city wall, causing a lot of casualties to the attacking troops. When their infantry tried to spread their wings to outflank Gaizhou County, the Japanese had earlier built  Other positions and traps also began to show off their power one by one, blocking their attempts.

    Liu Jingan actually knew very well that if the time given to them by the superiors was not too tight, they would have been given three or four days or even more to occupy all the soldiers and equipment.With their superiority, they could capture Gaizhou County without paying such a high price.

    But now, this death and injury has to be done.

    This is war, a cruel war!

    When the densely packed aircraft began to appear in the northwest sky again, Liu Jing'an's complicated mood had completely calmed down.

    This is the second day of the war. Since the Japanese were caught off guard by the undeclared war yesterday by the National Defense Forces, they have completely gained the upper hand in places such as Liaodong and North Korea.  Now the Japanese were completely caught off guard. Liu Jing'an understood the above meaning very well. It was nothing more than to expand their advantage at the expense of sacrifice before the Japanese could fully react.

    Colonel Kamomi Ichiro was already a bit hysterical. Lushun had high hopes for his troops and gave his 18th Division the responsibility of guarding the front line. He hoped that one day, he could become the sharp blade of the empire and penetrate China.  The person's body and flesh contributed to the empire's plan to annex Manchuria and Mongolia.

    Since receiving the order, Kamomi Ichiro has been meticulously implementing the tasks assigned to him by the empire.  The 18th Regiment not only established hundreds of miles of positions on the front line adjacent to China's Northeast Military Region, but also established a large number of permanent fortifications, which is not a bad job.  However, no matter how hard he tried, he never expected that the Chinese people, who he regarded as cowardly and incompetent, would dare to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese garrison in Liaodong. The two groups of defenders he sent out on the first line ended up in  During the bombing, not only were a large number of frontline positions destroyed, a large amount of baggage, arms and ammunition were bombed, but seven to eight hundred people were killed or injured in the sneak attack due to unpreparedness.

    When he learned that the front line had been attacked by the Chinese, he was shocked and reported the news to Lushun, while ordering the front line to be on guard.  It is a pity that the 18th Regiment, which has always been known for its bravery, was attacked by several main divisions of the National Defense Force within hundreds of miles from the opposite side. It relied on only two brigades and was unable to resist after losing its position.  After suffering heavy casualties from the shelling, he decisively issued the order to withdraw to Gaizhou County and defend it tightly, waiting for support from Lushun.

    But now, Gaizhou County cannot be defended!  This county town that he had been building for a long time, after several hours of bombing and more than ten hours of shelling, the main buildings in the city suffered heavy losses. Judging from the current bad situation, they may not be able to hold on for much longer.

    "These damn Chinese people!" Kamomi Ichiro's face was blackened by gunpowder smoke, but he usually paid attention to his appearance, but now he had no intention of cleaning up.

    He was worried that he would not be able to defend Gaizhou County and would be taken away by the Chinese.

    He is even more worried about the complete collapse of the Jinzhou defense line. The Chinese army will invade Kantung State in large numbers. The 18th Regiment of the Third Division with a long tradition and history will fall in his hands.

    A few years ago, two Japanese divisions that landed in Shandong were attacked by the Chinese and were almost wiped out.  This matter has always been regarded as a shame by the Japanese Army. Even after there was a plan to expand the army later, the two divisions have not been restored to their establishment, as if they had been blocked by the army's top brass tacitly.

    If the 18th Regiment loses its honor in his hands, Kamomi Ichiro knows that he may be finished for the rest of his life. What will the big guys in the country think of him?  He himself was so ashamed that he committed seppuku!

    "But what is competing on the battlefield is national strength and iron will. How can they hold this position when their manpower, material resources, and preparations are seriously insufficient compared to the Republic of China?"

    Kamomi Ichiro no longer has any hope that he can still defend Gaizhou. The only thing he thinks about now is to hold on for a longer time, because the longer he holds on, the more imperial reinforcements will be able to arrive. He has to do it for  The Empire bought enough time to react.  If the Chinese army is allowed to break through the Jinzhou defense line and reach the gates of Lushun, then he will be the eternal shame and sinner of the Japanese Empire!

    There was an explosion not far away, and the adjutant threw him to the ground.  After the explosion, Kamomi Ichiro patted the flying soil on his body, held on to his saber, and stared at the sky with red eyes. He didn't know when more than a dozen aircraft suddenly appeared and swooped down from time to time to drop bombs.  The Chinese planes were cursing and urging their officers to seriously supervise the battle. The Chinese must not be allowed to take Gaizhou County so quickly.

    He is ready to be broken into pieces.

    The Chinese people on the opposite side were organized into the 57th Division. After a night of fighting, he already knew the number of the opposite army.  This unit is no stranger to Kamomi Ichiro. After all, the distance between the stationed Jinzhou and the Liaodong Peninsula is not far, and it has always been one of the key targets of Japanese intelligence organizations.  But what he didn't expect was that this army, which had only been in existence for a few years and many of them were new recruits, had become so tenacious.

    He knew that the Chinese army had fought many large and small battles in recent years, but the Japanese domestic army had always looked down upon the Republic of China., so that they always look down on the Chinese people's combat effectiveness.  From the perspective of Japan, the defeat of Shandong and the defeat of Russia was just a coincidence caused by the Chinese people. Although domestic people have not been aware of the need to pay attention to the rise of the Republic of China, for this new military force, many people, including Iran,  Japanese soldiers are still looked down upon very much!

    Just as he was roaring loudly at a group of gray-faced officers at his starting position, a staff officer ran up to him, stood up and saluted, his face was full of joy, and his little eyes were so excited.  Full of energy: "Reporting to Colonel, I have received a telegram from the Lushun headquarters. The domestic government has sent reinforcements and is about to board the ship. The Governor ordered us to hold on for three days to buy time for the subsequent deployment of troops. After three days, our troops will be free.  Choose to retreat"

    "Three days!"

    Kamomi Ichiro¡¯s lips trembled for a while, and his eyes turned as gray as death.

    A plane kept circling over their heads, and soon after, a bomb exploded nearby. Kamomi Ichiro looked at the sky with a wry smile, and with a pale face, he murmured, "Don't say it's been three days, today can  Not being able to survive is still a problem! Why do only the Chinese have planes? What about our planes Without the sky, we are attacked from both sides. Even if we have cities and fortresses, what's the use! The 18th Regiment is over!"

    When more and more aircraft roared in the distance, his right hand holding the command knife began to tremble.

    Two hours later, as dozens of Army aviation fighters arrived, under the threat of bombs landing from the sky one after another, the 18th Wing suffered heavy losses and lost positions one after another. Soon after, it was driven away by the 57th Division, which cooperated in the attack.  Concentrated in several areas of the city.  Another hour later, Gaizhou was brokenThe commander of the 18th Regiment, Kamomi Ichiro, committed suicide. Except for the 421 wounded who surrendered, all the others died in the battle.

    Two hours later, Xiuyan County was defeated.  Jinzhou was broken. The Third Division was defeated by several main divisions of the National Defense Force and completely withdrew from Jinzhou. The first and second lines of defense built by Japan on the Liaodong Peninsula were declared completely destroyed. At five o'clock in the afternoon that day, Xiongchuan arrived at Qianzhou.  Yunshan was broken, and the 75th Division of the National Defense Force, which was the fastest charging, was only 35 miles away from Wafangdian, only 170 miles away from Dalian, and only 212 miles away from Lushun.
