Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Unlike many Japanese officers today who are always shouting "Jade Crushing", Tanaka Shizuichi can be regarded as an alternative among the Japanese army. He is not very interested in Nogi Nogi, who is regarded as the god of war by the Japanese.  The fool who wants to hit it with a meat bullet is even more despised. In his opinion, no matter how much you brag about the effects of a meat bomb, it is still a meat bomb, and no matter how much you brag, you can't make it as hard as a steel bullet.

    Therefore, retreating is not something that is difficult for a person like him to talk about.  After hearing what Machijiri Yuuki said, he thought for a while and said: "Okay, we can report the situation to the commander of the garden, but we must also be prepared to retreat while reporting. If we miss tonight, we will  It¡¯s also difficult to retreat.¡±

    Machijiri Ryouki smiled bitterly, his friend was really different.  For the Japanese army, which regards retreat as a shame and even refers to the word retreat as turning in, this guy is simply an anomaly.

    Just as he said, Tanaka Shizuichi immediately ordered the radio station to report the situation here to Sonobe and Ichiro, and explained directly that if they did not retreat immediately, the 13th Division and the 6th Division were in danger of being annihilated.  .

    After the telegram was sent, Tanaka Shizuichi immediately ordered the entire army to begin retreating toward Huanggang without waiting for Sonobe and Ichiro to reply. There was still a Japanese division stationed there and equipped with solid fortifications. It was safe only there.  .

    The large-scale retreat of more than 30,000 Japanese troops was quite a movement, and naturally it could not be hidden from the 400 Division and the 1st Armored Division in front. The news was quickly reported to Wu Chengfeng and Li Chenzhe.

    After receiving the news, Wu Chengfeng pondered for a while and then said to Li Chenzhe: "Old Li, the Japanese are trying to escape. What should we do? Do we want to give chase?"

    "Can't chase!" Li Chenzhe shook his head without thinking. "Although the armored division is extremely powerful when charging, it currently does not have the ability to fight at night. The Japanese only need to randomly send a few hundred people to carry explosive bags and ambush on the roadside.  It¡¯s enough for us to drink a pot. We can¡¯t do this kind of loss-making business. If you want to pursue it, you 400 divisions can go on your own.¡±

    "Shall I go?" Wu Chengfeng rolled his eyes at Li Chenzhe, "You don't even dare to go with the tortoise shell on. Why should we go? Besides, the 400th Division has been fighting continuously for almost a week, so we should let the brothers rest.  Just one night!¡±

    ??Wu Chengfeng knows his own affairs.  Although the 400th Division has been on a roll these days, first defeating the 39th Division and then severely damaging the 6th Division, the casualties of the troops are not small, and the soldiers are very tired after fighting for five or six days in a row.  If you don't take a good rest, it will easily cause non-combat attrition.

    The two looked at each other helplessly.  At the same time he shook his head.  It's not a pleasant feeling to see the enemy retreating in a swaggering manner, but being unable to do anything about it.

    Li Chenzhe finally said helplessly: "Forget it, let's report the intelligence to the theater headquarters, and then ask the Air Force to start the search at dawn. Let's make a decision after discovering the Japanese army."

    Wu Chengfeng nodded: "That's all. There will definitely be new orders from the theater headquarters tomorrow."

    Just when Wu Chengfeng and Li Chenzhe were still lamenting the retreat of the Japanese army, major media outlets across the country received an anonymous message almost at the same time. Moreover, this message was not just empty talk. Many newspapers also received the news.  After receiving a lot of photos, the media immediately started to get excited.

    An office in Zengjiayan, Chongqing

    "boom¡­¡­"

    "Great, I didn't expect that Su Zhongxin would do such an unwise thing. He himself handed the clues into our hands. Then don't blame me, Mr. Jiang, for being rude! If someone comes, please notify our party newspaper and  All major newspapers and periodicals will immediately send this news out, and we will expose the true face of this anti-Japanese general in front of the people of the country!"

    "Sell newspapers and sell newspapers! The Japanese army was so crazy that they took the people as hostages, and the troops of the fourth theater were shelling their compatriots at the expense of human lives!"

    "Selling newspapers, the troops of the Fourth Theater District fired at the people regardless of their safety during the battle with the Japanese army, causing hundreds of deaths!"

    "For selling newspapers, the central government has issued a reprimand order to the Fourth Theater District and ordered Commander Su of the Fourth Theater District to immediately severely punish those involved in shelling the people."

    These messages were not only transmitted in the Kuomintang-controlled areas.  Even in the occupied areas, the news spread everywhere. Soon all the Chinese people knew about it, and newspapers across the country were discussing it.  Suri and the troops in the Fourth Theater Zone have always appeared in newspapers in a positive image. When the news first came out, many people did not believe it.  But this time the newspaper not only had burning words, but also included many photos. In the photos, it was obvious that groups of people tied together were swallowed up by the flames of the explosion. This had to be done.  Once people are convinced,During this time, Suri and the troops in the fourth theater were caught in a chorus of accusations.

    "Our soldiers should take it as our duty to protect our homeland and the country. Today, the four war zones are brazenly launching artillery bombardments on the people regardless of their lives. This kind of army is worse than nothing!" - Central Youth Daily.

    "We have always thought that Chief Su Rui was a hero of the Anti-Japanese War. We never thought that such a tragedy would happen today. Regardless of whether Chief Su ordered this, he was lax in his subordinates." - Ta Kung Pao!

    "It can be seen from this battle that there is still a custom in China today, that is, generals never take the lives of the people at heart, which is why such a tragedy happened. I wonder if the commander of the army at that time had let  If the army had made a little concession, the tragedy would not have happened and hundreds of lives would have been saved. But the tragedy still happened. Who is to blame for this?" - Report!

    With the help of thoughtful people, almost all the media, whether it was the enemy-occupied area or the Kuomintang-controlled area, accused Suri and his Fourth War Zone with one voice. For a time, Suri and the Fourth War Zone fell into a predicament that many people have criticized.

    "Humph! These newspapers are so outrageous, they dare to say anything!" In the office of the Fourth Theater Command, Bai Chongxi slapped his hands on the table in anger, making a clear sound.

    Li Zongren took the tea cup and took a slow sip, then said: "Jiansheng, why are you angry? Those newspapers have always been like this. They don't care what the truth of the matter is? As long as it can catch people's attention, they will definitely  Everyone will write a lot about it, let alone such sensational news. However, this news spread so quickly and widely. I don¡¯t believe it if there are no Japanese or Chongqing people who added fuel to the flames and killed it.  "

    Suri also sat aside and refused to agree. He had expected that this matter would be exposed by the media, but what he didn't expect was that so many media outlets would all accuse him in unison, even if there was one  The two media outlets who spoke for him were quickly drowned in a flood of spit.  Although Su Rui had already been mentally prepared for this, she still felt a little sulky about it.

    "These media really dare to say anything. No wonder later governments will control the news so strictly. There is a reason for feelings!" Su Rui couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

    Seeing Su Rui sitting silently aside, Li Zongren couldn't help but said to him: "Zhongxin, how are you going to handle this matter?"

    Su Rui said calmly: "What else can we do? Hold a press conference. As the saying goes, you can tell others everything, right and wrong, just put the truth out for everyone to criticize!"

    Seeing Su Rui's nonchalant look, Bai Chongxi couldn't help but feel a little happy, "You're really not nervous. When do you plan to hold a press conference?"

    "The day after tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, in the lobby of the Guangzhou Hotel, we will give the Japanese and the Chongqing man a big surprise!" At this point, Su Rui showed a fierce look on his face

    ? 23:450 midnight on October 7, 1940 AD

    It was quiet in an airport located deep in the mountains of Fuzhou. Except for a few weak lights, everything was shrouded in darkness.

    Zhang Yang sat quietly in the cockpit of his beloved P-51D Mustang fighter. With the help of the faint red light in the cockpit, Zhang Yang carefully looked at the navigation map.  Although he had seen it countless times in the past two days and was already familiar with the route, he still kept watching it, as if he wanted to imprint this picture into his heart.

    After a while, Zhang Yang finally raised his head and took a few deep breaths, finally calming down the tension in his heart.  Zhang Yang turned his head around and found that the wingman's cockpit not far from him was also shaking with figures. It seemed that Lao Tuo was as uneasy as him.

    The hour hand of the clock slowly pointed to twelve o'clock, and a steady and calm voice suddenly sounded on the originally silent channel: "Attention all units, I am Zheng Shaoyu, commander-in-chief of the Fourth Theater Air Force, and it is now 1940 AD.  At exactly midnight on October 8th, 2018, I now order as the commander-in-chief of the Air Force that Operation Sun Hunting will officially begin and all units will depart as planned!"

    Following Zheng Shaoyu¡¯s order, a light suddenly flashed around the airport, and blazing bonfires began to burn around the runway.  As the fire lit up the mountainside, huge figures on the runway suddenly appeared in everyone's sight. It turned out to be B-24 Liberator heavy bombers. Dozens of huge bombing secrets were densely placed on the runway, crowding the runway.  It must be densely packed.

    Almost at the same time, the propellers of dozens of bombers began to rotate, and the originally silent airport suddenly erupted with deafening roars.

    ¡°Bang bang bang¡­¡±

    Three in a rowA green signal popped up in the sky, and the leading bomber immediately began to glide slowly on the runway, getting faster and faster, and soon broke away from the shackles of the earth's gravity and rushed into the sky
