Chapter 847 The Japanese in Despair

In the history of the war between China and Japan, and even in the combat history of the entire Chinese Navy, the "Kyushu Island Landing Operation" is worthy of careful study no matter from any angle!

This was the first truly large-scale landing operation in the history of the Chinese Army.

To be honest, many problems were exposed at the beginning of this landing operation. For example, the landing was successful, but the heavy equipment could not be transported in time. And during the operations on the 18th and 19th, it seemed that

It's a bit chaotic, most companies are fighting there.

But starting from the 20th, this situation quickly changed.

Heavy weapons have been delivered one after another, the command system has been restored, each company has been more targeted, and its breakthroughs have been more determined, etc...

It is inevitable that problems will arise. There will always be various problems for the first time, and this is not scary at all. Timely adjustments, timely corrections, and improvements from problems are the most important...

..

On the 21st, Wang Mingzhang, the commander-in-chief of the Third Army, issued a general attack order and asked all ministries to speed up the advance.

The Asahina Battalion in Sasebo had actually been overwhelmed by the Chinese Army. A large number of Chinese Army troops rushed through Sasebo and began to advance deeper into Kyushu Island.

Asahina Sosaburo knew very well that at this point in the war, there was nothing he could do. There was nothing he could do to stop the advance of the squadron.

Even though he still had confidence, the soldiers around him were almost dead.

The empire, the empire I love so much, why has it suffered such heavy losses one after another in these years? Those Chinese soldiers who landed were simply unable to resist...

Maybe now that I am standing in front of the Chinese, the Chinese soldiers have no time to talk to me...

At this moment, Asahina Sosaburo's mood was infinitely sad.

"Your Excellency, Captain, the commander is here to inquire about the battle situation here."

The words of his subordinates made Asahina Sosaburo wake up from his thoughts. He pondered for a while: "Return to the commander, my whole brigade fought bravely and wiped out countless enemies. However, the enemy was large in number and had a large amount of superior firepower.

, Sasebo... Even though our soldiers in the brigade tried their best, they could not prevent the enemy from passing through Sasebo..."

Speaking of this, his sad voice suddenly became a little more cheery: "But please rest assured, Commander, even if I fight to the last soldier, I will fight to the end and never let down the glory of the emperor and the people."

His Majesty the Emperor hopes that I have assembled the last strength of the entire brigade for a final battle to the death, long live Yusui!"

The telegram was sent, and the "rumbling" sound of cannons was heard outside. Asahina Sosaburo knew that it was not his cannon...

All the last remaining Japanese in the entire brigade were gathered together, Asahina Sosaburo distributed weapons to them, and then gave each of them a grenade.

He knows his men know what to do...

He watched everyone leave here. Even though it was the most helpless, tragic, and last charge, it was the only thing he could do for the empire...

He didn't rush out, but turned around and sat down.

On the table in front of him, there was a machine gun and a grenade. These were his weapons. He knew what choice he should make when the Chinese rushed in front of him.

He took out a pen and paper, pondered for a while and then wrote:

"Sachiko, my beloved wife, when you read this letter, I am no longer in this world. Your husband has already dedicated his life to the empire... When I put on this military uniform

At that time, I had already assumed a responsibility for this country... Of course, I did not expect that I would have this result...

Now the island is full of Chinese troops. My brigade has been defeated, and the soldiers are fighting the bravest. When the Chinese soldiers rush in front of me, I will also fight them to the end.

.....I'm sorry that I didn't fulfill my promise to accompany you until you grow old. Please don't blame me and raise our son well. I believe that when Jiro grows up, he will become a brave soldier like his father. He will definitely

!

I am very sure that the Chinese will not only attack Kyushu Island, but also all of Japan soon. Their purpose is to destroy the Yamato nation. You must protect yourself, take good care of our son, and tell Jiro,

How did his father die? Whose hands did his father die in? His..."

When I was halfway through writing the letter, intensive gunfire suddenly rang out.

Asahina Sosaburo hurriedly wrote the last sentence, then put the letter away close to his body, and put his hand on the machine gun...

A large number of Chinese soldiers appeared, and Asahina Sosaburo frantically pulled the trigger... But what greeted him was even more crazy gunfire...

"Crazy" Asahina Sosaburo died, and his whole body was beaten into a hornet's nest...

Several Chinese soldiers rushed in, glanced at the corpses on the ground, and did not pay special attention. Instead, they waved their hands and rushed out, continuing to rush towards the battlefield where the fighting was still taking place...

Asahina Sosaburo died on September 21, 1934, Colonel.

He "invented" a pure suicide charge with guns and grenades strapped all over his body, and he got the nickname "Madman" because of it.

What he missed most before his death was his wife and son. However, his wife Sachiko Asahina died in a car accident in 1935, and his son Jiro Asahina died...

Sasebo's defense line was completely broken through, and almost all of Asahina's battalion was killed, which was very surprising.

It's not that the combat effectiveness of the Chinese ** team was so strong that the Japanese army had become vulnerable, but that there were too many things worth remembering in the Sasebo offensive and defensive battle.

For example, in this battle, the suicide attack method adopted by Asahina Sosaburo is worthy of criticism.

Some Japanese researchers believe that if Sosaburo Asahina had not adopted such an approach at that time, but had made the battle arrangement more perfect, perhaps the final outcome of the Battle of Kyushu Island would not have been like this...

But everything that has happened has no ifs. Asahina Sosaburo is still dead, Sasebo is still lost, and the Chinese Army is still unstoppable and continues to develop deeper into Kyushu Island...

And this is the last thing Binjiang Xiaochun wants to see.

In his imagination, Sasebo could last for at least a month, but he did not expect that the ** team would have achieved a breakthrough in less than three days.

Now the entire Kyushu Island has become a battlefield, and the Chinese team can attack anywhere they want without encountering any hindrance.

Where are his reinforcements? Bin Jiang Xiaojun is confused... Why have three days passed and the reinforcements have not arrived yet? How long can he persist here just relying on his own strength?

"Your Excellency, Commander, the Red Army has also begun destructive guerrilla warfare." Hamae Takajun's subordinate Sato Toshi came in, looked at the commander's expression, and obviously hesitated for a moment before telling the bad news.

came out.

"Oh, I got it." Takasumi Hamae didn't look particularly angry: "Did you know? Sasebo was broken through by the Chinese army, and Captain Asahina also became loyal to His Majesty the Emperor."

"What? This is impossible!" Sato Li was shocked: "Captain Asahina is your most brave and capable subordinate. How could he lose Sasebo in less than three days? No, it's impossible, the intelligence must have leaked.

What's the problem! Your Excellency, Commander, please allow me to take my troops to reinforce Sasebo!"

Hamae Takajun slowly shook his head and sighed: "No need, the intelligence has been confirmed. Look, this is the last telegram Asahina sent me before the jade was broken..."

Sato Lee took the telegram and stayed there.

The Chinese attack was so sharp that Asahina Sosaburo, the most courageous and skilled fighter, was shattered. What should we do now? What can we do to resist the Chinese attack?

"What about the country? Is there any news about the reinforcements yet?" Sato Li cheered up and asked tentatively.

Binjiang Xiaochun was silent for a while, and then slowly said to his subordinates: "No, there is no news at all. I have a bad feeling that they will not send reinforcements!"

"What? This is impossible!" Sato Li shouted: "We are fighting bloody battles here, how could they not send reinforcements? Can they just watch us die in battle and watch Kyushu Island be lost?

?”

"If reinforcements were to be sent, they should have arrived by now." Takasumi Hamae didn't seem too surprised: "But until now, except for telegrams one after another asking about the situation of the war and verbal promises, we have received nothing.

See, this is something very abnormal. I heard vaguely before that there is a saying in the navy that as long as the super battleship is not built, there should not be a decisive battle with the Chinese. I am very worried about this."

"Yaka! Damn it!" Sato Li shouted loudly: "Those navy bastards, what do they want to do? Lose Kyushu Island to China? Lose us to China?"

He was furious, yelling, and his anger was uncontrollable. But his desperate expression was fully revealed. The feeling of abandonment stung him deeply.

Binjiang Xiaochun waited for his subordinates to vent enough, and then said with difficulty:

"Sato, no matter what, don't forget our identity. We are soldiers of the empire. Even if there are no reinforcements in the country, we must persist here until the last moment!"
