Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

Because of this sudden war, living in the city of Sinuiju: all the North Korean people in order to survive, without exception, closed their doors and hid in their homes shivering, hoping to survive this war. Life.

However, as the wooden houses were quickly swept by the fire.The Korean civilians hiding in the houses are preparing to fight in the city with the help of the streets and the houses on both sides of the street, and the little devil Kwantung Army hiding in various street fighting fortifications.Without exception, all of them rushed out of the house like a bereaved dog, rushed to the street, and ran to the only Sinuiju army garrison in the city that had no houses and would not be affected by the fire in a short time.

In the city of Sinuiju, people from all directions, including ordinary Koreans and soldiers of the Kwantung Army, quickly gathered and flocked towards the army garrison.

1000 people...>

Major General Kurokawa, the supreme commander of the Kwantung Army in Sinuiju, wanted to survive and not be burned into charcoal by the fire.Also at the first time, the headquarters was moved to the training ground to prepare for open-air command operations. [

A guard squadron, more than 100 Kwantung Army elites, arm in arm, formed several thick human walls, separating a space with a radius of less than [-] square meters on the training ground full of dense crowds.Commander Major General Kurokawa, chief of staff, and officers above the rank of major in the entire brigade headquarters.Without exception, all gathered in this space.He looked at the densely packed, terrified crowd around him with a look of horror.

This moment.Nuo Da's training ground, although it has not been baptized by fire.However, the scorching air waves generated by the surrounding fires continued to hit us, roasting everyone's foreheads, and beads of sweat the size of beans continued to flow.

Major General Kurokawa, the head of the brigade, wiped the bead of sweat that was constantly flowing from his forehead with the panic when he rushed out of the headquarters.Facing the chief of staff who was also terrified beside him, he said, "Chief of staff, how are the losses in the city..."

The chief of staff, who was sweating profusely and whose face was pale because of fear, responded with a little horror: "Brigade commander, under the continuous attack of the Chinese army's incendiary bombs, so far, more than 10% of the entire Sinuiju The house has been covered by the fire. According to the speed of the fire, the entire Sinuiju will be completely engulfed by the fire within [-] minutes at the latest..."

"As for us, including the tens of thousands of North Koreans gathered here, we are also not spared. After all, the incendiary bombs fired by the Chinese at us can also be burned on the concrete floor..."

"Burning Sinuiju...>

However, when saying this sentence.Major General Kurokawa seems to have forgotten his mentality when using gas bombs, and he forgot that gas bombs were on the battlefield.The heavy casualties caused to the Chinese military and civilians.

Major General Kurokawa, with a livid face, has not yet waited for his subordinates to respond.A huge engine roar sounded from the air.

In the sky west of Sinuiju, a fleet of 12 bombers and six fighter jets flew over Sinuiju with an unstoppable momentum...>

Seeing Sinuiju, which has been mostly covered by fire, 12 bombers are like falcons who have found their prey.With rumbling and roaring sounds, they rushed to the ground in the area of ​​Sinuiju City that was still not shrouded in flames.

Nothing happened, but the former Sinuiju garrison, where tens of thousands of Kwantung Army and Korean civilians gathered, was directly attacked by three bombers.

"Buzz...>

The roar of a huge aircraft engine sounded from the sky, and a bomber, after drawing a beautiful arc in the air, passed directly over the head of Major General Kurokawa at an altitude of about 200 meters.At the same time, several black incendiary bombs fell from the belly of the bomber like laying eggs.With a whistling sound, it hit the ground full of people.

There was a dull and sharp whistling sound, several aviation napalm bombs that were more powerful than artillery shells and had a wider range.It landed very precisely on the barracks and exploded.

The shell exploded, and tens of kilograms of napalm quickly splashed out, splashing a large amount of burning attachments on everyone and everything within the bomb's killing range.At the same time, with the help of scattered flames, these combustibles with combustion accelerants were quickly ignited in an unstoppable manner...>

In the blink of an eye, five huge seas of flames with a radius of more than ten meters appeared in the empty training ground, which was crowded with all kinds of people.

Without exception, the Koreans and soldiers within the sea of ​​flames were all burned into fireballs, rolled back and forth on the ground, and let out bursts of heart-piercing screams...

After one bomber dived and bombed, the second bomber followed closely, and dived towards the ground again from different directions with a sharp whistling sound.

Seeing the Chinese bombers in the sky getting closer and closer to the ground, the chief of staff's already pale face began to tremble because of the horror brought about by death.Facing Major General Heichuan who was also in chaos beside him, he suggested with a look of horror. [

"Your Excellency, Commander of the Brigade, if the Chinese Air Force continues to bomb like this, the entire Sinuiju will no longer have a safe zone. If we continue to stay in the city, not only will we not be able to achieve any results, but the thousands of Kwantung Army will all be killed because of this." Burning to black charcoal, sacrifice in vain. Therefore, the humble staff suggested: instead of being burned to death in Sinuiju City for nothing, we should break out immediately, go outside the city, continue to fight with the Chinese army, and persist until the last person..."

"Breakthrough..." Hearing these two words, Major General Kurokawa suddenly showed a mocking smile on his face.

After shaking his head, he opened his mouth and responded: "Chief of Staff, now I finally know: more than an hour ago. Why did the Chinese army specially deploy three regiments in its limited strength to block the remaining three in Sinuiju. City gate...>

Seeing the expression of loneliness and despair on Major General Kurokawa's face.I heard the screams of the surroundings because they were covered by raging fire, under the burning of your fire.A trace of nameless fear quickly surfaced in the chief of staff's mind.Thinking of the scene where I was engulfed by the fire and then burned to black charcoal.Thinking of all the pain I had to endure when I was engulfed by the fire.

The face of the chief of staff, who was already very frightened, already showed a trace of fear.Facing Major General Kurokawa beside him, he suggested loudly: "Your Excellency, brigade commander, as an officer of the Imperial Japanese Empire, I would rather die in battle, at the gunpoint of the Chinese army, than die in this fire without the slightest meaning. Among..."

"So, I thought that it would be better to fight to the death than to be burned to death in the city of Sinuiju. At least, on the way to break through, we can also kill and injure some Chinese troops guarding outside the city through our counterattack. Before dying .Pull a Chinese soldier to give us a back..."

Maybe it was the chief of staff's words that helped, maybe Major General Kurokawa couldn't bear to watch himself being engulfed by the fire.As soon as the chief of staff finished speaking, he decisively ordered: "Yoxi, you are right. Warriors of the Great Japanese Empire. You must not just die in this fire..."

"Order, all troops in the city, start to break out immediately...>

On the face of the chief of staff.A hint of surprise flashed quickly.Facing Major General Kurokawa, he assured loudly: "The commander of the brigade is wise, and I will give orders immediately..."

At the west gate of Sinuiju, under the watchful eyes of thousands of officers and men of the Ninth Army, more than 500 Kwantung Army soldiers, carrying more than 1000 Korean civilians, filed out and appeared outside the west gate.

There are more than 1000 people, the Korean people are in the front, and the Kwantung Army is more than 500 behind.Holding the rifle with the bayonet already installed in his hand, he forced the North Korean civilians in front to block bullets for themselves, and pushed forward step by step towards the Ninth Army's defense line outside the city.

Standing on this line of defense was none other than Zhou Xingguo's remaining two regiments who had escaped the Japanese poison gas attack.As the saying goes, 'When enemies meet, they are extremely jealous'.Although I know that once I open fire, the North Korean civilians standing between the two armies will definitely be decapitated and die first on the battlefield.

However, since the former commander-in-chief of the enemy has issued an order to burn Sinuiju, it means that the headquarters does not value the lives of tens of thousands of Korean people in the city.

Therefore, in the face of more than 1000 little devils and Koreans who were getting closer and closer to the defense line, the faces of the commanders at all levels of the defenders not only did not show any intolerance, but showed a trace of bloodthirsty murderousness.

"Brothers, just the night before yesterday, how did our comrades die... It was a little devil, a cruel little devil, who actually used gas bombs on us... >

All of a sudden, all kinds of responses, like breaking a dike to control a flood, sounded on the battlefield one after another...>

"Revenge, revenge for the sacrificed comrades...

"Kill all the little devils and avenge my comrades...>

Seeing that everyone's morale has been lifted invisibly.Everyone looked angrily at the Japanese attacking troops in front of them, and no one showed an expression of intolerance.The head of the regiment nodded very politely, and ordered decisively: "Very well, now I order that once the Japanese army enters the 500-meter range, all light and heavy machine guns will fire immediately to destroy all enemies who dare to go out of the city, and let thousands of people in the city Little devils, all were burned to death in the city..."

At a distance of 500 meters, hundreds of light and heavy machine guns fired together under the command of the regiment leader...>

At the gate of the city with a clear view and no hidden objects.The swarming rain of bullets is like a god of death, constantly harvesting the life that you can see on the battlefield...>

More than 1000 Korean civilians and more than 500 Kwantung Army elites were swept under such fierce firepower.After only persisting for less than 10 minutes, they all fell on the battlefield.Become a corpse. [

The other gates of Sinuiju are without exception.All became the graves of the Kwantung Army's breakout troops.

Thousands of Kwantung troops were brave though, and twice as many North Koreans provided cover for themselves.However, under the unprecedented firepower of the Ninth Army, their breakthrough, apart from leaving piles of corpses outside the city, did not even touch the edge of the blocking positions deployed by the Ninth Army outside the city...

More than 100 tons of napalm bombs are enough to burn the entire Sinuiju into ruins.Coupled with the results achieved by the defenders outside the city of Sinuiju.The thousands of elite troops carefully deployed by the Kwantung Army in Sinuiju, including the head of the brigade, Major General Kurokawa, were all eaten up by the Ninth Army.

certainly.While eating up the elite of the Kwantung Army, the Ninth Army set fire to Sinuiju.In the city of Sinuiju, the reputation and prestige of burning tens of thousands of Korean civilians to death was quickly spread to the headquarters of the Kwantung Army along with the news of the fall of Sinuiju.

Lieutenant General Shigeru Honjo, commander of the Kwantung Army General Headquarters, after reading the battle report, he yelled angrily at Major General Miyake Miyake, the chief of staff in front of him: "Baga. The despicable Chinese used incendiary bombs again. No way. , we must take revenge, take bloody revenge against the Ninth Army..."

but.When the chief of staff, Major General Miyake Miyake's bitter and helpless expression fell into Honjo Shigeru's eyes.Honzhuang Shige, who was so angry, slowly began to calm down.Because, Benzhuang Fan's slowly recovering rationality told him.To retaliate against the Chinese army, for the current Kwantung Army.It is already a near impossible thing.

The strength of troops is several times that of oneself, and the firepower is several times that of oneself.Not only does it have a large number of fighter planes that the Kwantung Army did not have, but it also possesses a terrifying incendiary bomb with mass destruction... Facing such a powerful enemy, the Kwantung Army, which has lost its home base, will use it for military revenge.Could it be that once again disregarding the power of international public opinion, the poison gas bombs that have been banned in the world are used.

You must be clear, the reason why your opponent, the Ninth Army, burned Sinuiju, and burned thousands of elites from a brigade of the Kwantung Army to death in Sinuiju.One of the important factors is that the Sinuiju defenders used poison gas bombs without authorization, which caused very heavy casualties to the Ninth Army, and eventually attracted bloody revenge from the opponent's incendiary bombs.

Once you use gas bombs yourself, it is conceivable that the entire Kwantung Army may be burned to death innocently under the attack of the opponent's incendiary bombs.Since the opponent has a lot of retaliation methods that are as powerful as gas bombs, the use of gas bombs is completely unacceptable.

After abandoning this method of revenge, Lieutenant General Shigeru Honjo, after a brief analysis of the current strength of the Kwantung Army, discovered very painfully that in the face of the mighty Ninth Army, the Kwantung Army, which claims to be invincible in combat power, has no power. Any way and means that can be confronted...

After sighing at the chief of staff, Major General Miyake Miyake, the expression of despair appeared directly on Honjo Shigeru's face.Facing the chief of staff, he asked in a helpless tone: "Chief of staff, do you have any specific measures to curb the pace of the Chinese army's attack?"

The helpless expression on Major General Miyake Miyake's face directly expressed his inner thoughts.Under Honjo Shigeru's disappointed eyes, he said, "Your Excellency, the Kwantung Army is no match for the Ninth Army based on the strength of our Kwantung Army alone. What we can do is rely on North Korea's large mountainous terrain to slow down as much as possible." The Ninth Army's offensive speed. At the same time, I will ask for tactical guidance from the country, and with the help of the military department, I will save the last bit of vitality of my Kwantung Army."

The chief of staff replied, to put it nicely, it is called tactical guidance.To put it bluntly, it can be called asking for help.As the once-popular Kwantung Army in the military department, not only lost the Kwantung State that penetrated into the territory of China in its own hands, but also caused tens of thousands of Kwantung Army elites to lose more than half of them in just a few months, so they had to lower their own pride head, to the country for help.

It is conceivable that once this matter is expanded, what will be lost is not only his own face, but also the face of the entire Kwantung Army, and even the Imperial Army of the Japanese Empire.

However, the embarrassment is the embarrassment, for the Kwantung Army to no longer be destroyed by its own hands, and for the remaining tens of thousands of Kwantung Army elites under its command.The proud Lieutenant General Benzhuang Fan had to lower his head and make a decision with a bitter face.

"Chief of Staff, I will entrust you with the task of slowing down the Ninth Army's attack speed...>

It is a matter of life and death for the future of the entire Kwantung Army, although the chief of staff, Major General Miyake Miyake, knows that it is very difficult to complete this task.However, under the expectant eyes of Honjo Fanzhuang, he still became ruthless and replied with a firm face: "Please rest assured, Commander, I promise to complete the task...>

Lieutenant General Honjo Fan subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and replied to the chief of staff. After nodding his head very politely, he continued to speak: "In this case, I will leave this important task to you, chief of staff... As for reporting the current battle situation to the military headquarters, at the same time I will personally handle the matter of requesting tactical guidance... >

"I believe that the Empire of Japan will never watch the Kwantung Army being wiped out by the Chinese army. Therefore, it will not be long before reinforcements from the Empire of Japan will arrive..." (To be continued.)
