Age of Conquest Reborn
Chapter 3260 War of Attrition
"The emperor is interested! I know my own safety!" Hirohito shook his head and said. He didn't believe that Zain could do this. Millions of troops from the China Independent Division, from the sky to the land, surrounded Tokyo.
Even a mouse can't get out, let alone a large group of people he brought with him?
"Brother Emperor!" Zai Ren said in a low voice: "Brother Emperor, don't question my brother's backup plan. If the fighting continues for a few more days, once the second line of defense is lost and the China Independent Division troops break into the city, I will drive more than a dozen
Ten thousand Tokyo citizens leave Tokyo from the east, and the emperor's brother mixes among the citizens and leaves the city. His subordinates will pick him up on the way, and then he arrives at Sendai and takes a boat from Sendai to the South American continent!"
"Wherever the Germans controlled the territory, Tang Qiuli was beyond his reach. In this way, the emperor's brother, his wife, and several of his nephews could escape safely and preserve the blood of the imperial family in order to make a comeback. That China devil would never kill all the Japanese.
Human?"
"As long as Brother Emperor is here, the Empire of Japan is here. The surviving subjects of the Empire will not despair, but will have obsession, and the Empire will have hope of restoration. Everything has been arranged, Brother Emperor.
We have to go, the imperial brother shoulders the important task of restoring the Japanese Empire, but it is much heavier than holding Renyu broken in Tokyo!"
At this point, Hirohito had believed Zai Ren's words. He did not take into account Zai Ren's tragic tone. Instead, all he could think about was his future. However, he was also worried, so he said: "Brother Emperor, the Germans
If you refuse to be the intermediary in our peace talks with Tang Qiuli, will you accept my escape? In Hitler's mind, the weight of a country-destroying king is not as important as the fierce Tang Qiuli!"
"About this, please relax, Brother Emperor!" Zai Ren comforted: "The Imperial Ambassador to Germany, Ryuichi Kato, has had close contact with Himmler, the head of the German Gestapo, and Himmler agreed to take Brother Emperor in.
Take refuge in Germany!”
"Himler can be ranked fourth in Germany's power structure. He is very important. He controls the Gestapo all over Europe. It is easy to arrange the safety and residence of the emperor brother. By then, the emperor brother will be safe.
After leaving Tokyo, my brother feels relieved and can freely fight against the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli!"
Hirohito was convinced by his clever brother, and most of his fear of death disappeared immediately. Then he remembered that Zayen had already had a death wish, and the two brothers would be separated forever from now on. He couldn't help but feel sad. It was a rare hug.
With benevolence, I began to feel sad and painful.
The division commander issued an order to completely stop the offensive. Not only the commanders of the brigades who were fighting smoothly were confused, but also the commanders of each regiment were confused. According to the current attack speed of the troops, the Japanese army's second attack in the suburbs of Tokyo
If this line of defense cannot survive tonight, it will be completely broken through.
In Yokohama, the phone calls in the frontline headquarters of the Independent Division began to get busy. The commanders of various regiments called one after another to inquire about the reasons for stopping the offensive. The first call came from Tang Qiusheng, the deputy division commander and commander of the North Road Operations Command.
Headquarters.
"I said Xiaoqiu, what are you doing? The troops were fighting smoothly, why did they suddenly stop?" On the phone, Tang Qiusheng's tone was very dissatisfied.
Tang Qiuli held the microphone, smiled, and explained unhurriedly: "Brother Qiu Sheng, simmer slowly, don't rush, we have enough time to capture Tokyo, give the Japanese army time to mobilize troops to the second line of defense, and give the troops time to
Wouldn’t it be great to create opportunities to annihilate the effective Japanese forces in the suburbs of Tokyo?”
Tang Qiusheng was silent for a while and said: "Xiaoqiu, from your tone, it seems that you have other plans? It's not just the purpose, right? Well, I won't interfere with your command!"
Putting down the phone, Tang Qiuli smiled and shook his head, thinking to himself: "Brother Qiu Sheng is really a thoughtful and delicate person. With just a few words, he guessed that he had another purpose."
The second caller was Feng Jiwu, commander of the Niangziguan Garrison and commander of the West Route Offensive Force. He was even more straightforward, "Division Commander, you ordered the troops to stop attacking. I can understand it. Based on my understanding of the division commander.
, there must be a reason for doing this, but the brigade commanders under me couldn't stand it, and some of them went directly to my headquarters and asked me what was going on?"
"Jiwu, solving the ideological problems of the brigade commanders is your responsibility as the commander!" Tang Qiuli simply gave up and said, "Are you responsible for explaining it?"
Listening to the busy tone on the phone receiver, he was still confused as to how to explain it. Feng Jiwu was stunned, and then started to think...
After putting down the phone, Tang Qiuli said to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, I will not answer any such calls. You can block them for me. In the name of the division commander, issue orders to each corps starting tomorrow."
The attack is mainly based on repeated battles with the Japanese army on the second line of defense of the Japanese army to eliminate the effective strength of the Japanese army. Breakthroughs are not allowed and the Japanese army is attracted as much as possible from the urban area of Tokyo!"
"Commander, if you issue such an order, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the commanders at all levels to accept it?" Zhao Yuhe reminded: "The troops are in high spirits. Is it likely to affect morale?"
"It doesn't matter!" Tang Qiuli said calmly: "The significance of this tactic is to put great pressure on the Japanese army and make the Japanese army's second line of defense crumbling, but unable to attack. In this way, Zai Ren will inevitably continue to defend from
Mobilize troops in depth to supplement losses. After continuous attrition, the strength of the Japanese troops in Tokyo will be greatly weakened, and future battles will be easier to fight!"
"Even if Zai Ren knew that I was deliberately consuming his troops, he would still have to bite the bullet and accept the move. We will fight this way for two weeks. If the commander of the regiment calls, tell him
, just execute the order!”
The independent division's attack started early the next morning, leaving the Japanese commanders on the second line of defense a little confused. The attack was as fierce as ever, and the artillery fire became more ferocious. Fires were everywhere on the position, and smoke was rising into the sky. The Japanese army
The long-range artillery group located in the urban area of Tokyo tried to suppress the artillery fire of the independent division artillery, but as soon as it emerged, it was hit by more than ten times the intensive artillery fire.
In addition to ground artillery fire, a large number of independent division bombers joined the battlefield. The Japanese positions trembled in the artillery fire and bombing, and were submerged in smoke and fire. After the shelling and bombing stopped, a large number of tanks covered the independent division infantry.
attack.
From the Japanese commanders to the ordinary soldiers, everyone's face turned pale. They did not think they could hold the second line of defense, but they still organized a fierce counterattack. What shocked the Japanese was that within thirty minutes of the fight, the independent division
The troops' tanks and infantry retreated after being subjected to fierce counterattacks!
However, what followed was an overwhelming barrage of artillery shells, which continued until dusk. After repelling the last attack of the Independent Division, all the Japanese officers and soldiers breathed a long sigh of relief, followed by a puddle of mud.
As if they collapsed in the trench, they couldn't believe that they actually held the second line of defense and repelled several fierce attacks by the China Independent Division.
As night fell, the Japanese commander began to count the casualties of the troops. The battle was very miserable. The defensive troops on the second line of defense suffered nearly one-fifth casualties, which can be regarded as heavy casualties. However, the commanders in several directions
, still regarded this as a remarkable result, reported it to the Home Defense Zone Headquarters, and at the same time, requested additional troops.
The Japanese commanders had reason to believe that under the fierce artillery fire and bombing of the China Independent Division, they repelled multiple enemy attacks, held impossible positions, and completed the impossible mission. It was a miracle!
After receiving the report, Prince Zai Ren rolled his eyes and pondered for a long time, but could not come to a conclusion. He could only attribute it to the combat bravery of the imperial soldiers. The attack momentum of the independent division troops weakened. As for replenishing the second line of defense,
Strength was inevitable, so more than 40,000 Japanese troops marched from Tokyo to the second line of defense in the suburbs.
In this way, in the vicinity of the Japanese second line of defense in the suburbs of Tokyo, the independent division troops and the Japanese defenders launched a tug-of-war. Every day, fighter planes roared, artillery roared, and the shouts of killing shook the sky. The Japanese position was crumbling, but it never stopped.
was breached, but the Japanese casualties were increasing every day.
After fighting for more than ten days, Prince Zai Ren also thought about it. The Chinese devil Tang Qiuli was forcing himself to fight with him. However, Zai Ren did not feel annoyed or angry about being fooled. No matter how he said it,
The troops of the China Independent Division, which had an absolute advantage, were blocked in front of the second line of defense. This was victory. They never set foot in downtown Tokyo. The second line of defense has become the spiritual support of Tokyo citizens.
As for the consumption of troops, it was a normal situation. In order to maintain the current stalemate, Zai Ren could only continue to add troops to the second line of defense, and successively mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops from the depth of the defense. However, Zai Ren also kept a careful eye on it.
, the troops transferred up during the meeting were all newly recruited civilians, and even shooting was learned temporarily before going to the battlefield.
After seeing Tang Qiuli's path clearly, Zai Ren sneered in his heart, "Isn't it just a fight for consumption? Well, I will fight with you Tang Qiuli. You have millions of soldiers, and I have millions of citizens in Tokyo.
There are more people than your soldiers! It’s worth trading five for one!”
After two weeks of fighting, the Japanese army was also familiar with the independent division's fighting style. The commanders of the attacking corps were bored to death. They repeated the fighting style every day, watching the little Japanese's defense line follow the same pattern.
It's like a layer of paper. It doesn't take much effort to blow on it and it can have a devastating effect. But the master's finger just presses down to prevent him from hitting him to death. Although he can kill many little devils every day, that's it.
Doesn’t the fighting style drive people crazy?
Several corps commanders gradually began to figure it out, while the brigade commanders below were full of resentment, but Tang Qiuli knew that it was time to implement his plan.
