Chapter 1384: Frequent Big Moves

Under the heavy bombardment of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army's numerous anti-aircraft guns, the 16th Division had already suffered more than 10,000 casualties.

Not wanting to see more casualties, which would give other competitors an excuse to suppress him and compete for the position of commander-in-chief of the Central China Front Army, Nakajima Imago fought hard.

Relying on his qualifications as a lieutenant general division commander and his connections in the Central China Front Army, Nakajima Imago sent a telegram to Yanagawa Heisuke, the acting lieutenant general commander of the Central China Front Army.

"Mr. Yanagawa Heisuke:

I, Nakajima Imago, seriously suspect that there are defensive fortifications dug in advance by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army under this hill.

After all, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has used this tactic before.

That is to say, many extremely solid defensive fortifications were dug around the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army's submarine base before.

Therefore, in order to avoid further losses of personnel and equipment on our side, I strongly suggest that we continue the bombing.

In a word, the bombing will not end until this hill is blown down ten meters!

The 16th Division, Division Commander Nakajima Imago!"

After receiving this telegram from Nakajima Imago, Yanagawa Heisuke frowned.

Family members know their own affairs best.

Yanagawa Heisuke was deeply touched by the tunnel operations of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

The most important thing is that the 10th Army, which he led before, was severely damaged by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army because of this.

Not only did they suffer heavy losses, but they were also extremely embarrassed.

At that time, at the beginning of the Battle of Songhu, in order to cooperate with Matsui Iwane's Shanghai Expeditionary Force to encircle and annihilate China's main elite troops, Yanagawa Heisuke secretly carried out a combat mission.

Yanagawa Heisuke led 120,000 Japanese troops, and secretly went behind hundreds of thousands of China's main elite troops and arrived at the Jinshanwei area of ​​Hangzhou Bay.

If there were no accidents, they would definitely be able to suddenly surround these hundreds of thousands of China's elite troops and catch them all in one fell swoop.

Unexpectedly, man's plans are not as good as God's plans, and accidents still happened.

Attack halfway across the river!

When the vanguard of the 120,000 troops of the Tenth Army just landed on the designated beach, suddenly, something strange happened.

It turned out that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army had already ambushed there and launched a crazy blocking attack in the first time.

At that time, the many anti-aircraft machine guns, anti-aircraft guns and other weapons of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army left a deep impression on Yanagawa Heisuke.

Of course, this impression was accompanied by a large number of casualties in the 10th Army.

Unwilling to accept this reality, and having no way to retreat, Yanagawa Heisuke had to use a big move.

On the one hand, Yanagawa Heisuke urgently ordered the many warships that transported the 10th Army to bombard the designated landing site.

At the same time, automatically ignoring the fact that his own casualties were heavy, Yanagawa Heisuke solemnly ordered that the landing craft continue to risk landing and automatically ignore the firepower attack of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

On the third hand, the troops that have successfully arrived at the designated landing site immediately consolidated their frontline positions and launched a counterattack as much as possible.

What made Yanagawa Heisuke happy was that after these few big moves, the situation of the war was greatly reversed.

Under the bombardment of many large-caliber naval guns, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army really did not dare to show up again, so as to kill and injure their own side again.

Seeing this, Yanagawa Heisuke thought he had grasped the initiative, and continued to speed up the landing.

Not long after, all the soldiers of the 10th Army, except for the killed soldiers, arrived at the landing site.

However, at this time, another change occurred.

Accompanied by waves of terrifying and deafening explosions, a huge explosion actually occurred underground at the landing site.

In an instant, the Tenth Army suffered many casualties.

Most importantly, the explosion easily caused seawater to flow back and turned the landing site into a large swamp.

After completing these operations, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army chose to escape along the various underground passages that had been dug in advance.

On the other hand, the Tenth Army had to move forward with difficulty in the swamp.

A single person, without any weight, would easily fall into the swamp.

What's more, in order to fight against the main force of China, each devil carried a lot of weapons and equipment.

Taking bullets as an example, each devil carried 200 rounds.

In addition, there were melon grenades, etc.

In this way, the weight of each devil reached 20 to 30 kilograms.

Naturally, in this way, many devils were swallowed by the swamp.

That's not all, because the 10th Army had too many heavy equipment, and a single devil was often swallowed up, let alone these heavy equipment.

When the 10th Army finally got out of this swamp, hundreds of thousands of Chinese elite troops had already embarked on an orderly retreat.

Therefore, the ambitious army came here, not only failed to cooperate with the Shanghai Expeditionary Force, but first surrounded these elite Chinese main forces, and then annihilated them, and the troops also played soy sauce for a long time.

Because of this, Yanagawa Heisuke was ridiculed a lot.

It was not easy to replenish the troops and weapons and equipment, and then, not long after, Yanagawa Heisuke encountered another big thing that made him dumbfounded.

This thing was nothing else, that is, the submarine base of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army reported by Nakajima Imao.

Like almost all devils, Yanagawa Heisuke never thought that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was so cunning.

Or, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was so proficient in tunnel operations.

At that time, the numerous large-caliber naval guns of the Army Air Force, the Navy Air Force, and the Third Fleet continued to bombard the hills around the submarine base for such a long time.

Unexpectedly, the bombing was so strong and lasted for such a long time, but it failed to blow down the various defensive fortifications of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

The most important thing is that there are many large-caliber fortress guns in each fortification.

In addition, there are many anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns.

In other words, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army did not passively take the beating, but did not fight back.

At that time, these heavy weapons of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army were desperately launching a counterattack.

For this reason, the Third Fleet, including these bombing planes, suffered a huge loss.

Even the battleships, which were famous for their strong ships and powerful guns, lost two.

…

Looking at this telegram from Nakajima Imao, Yanagawa Heisuke automatically ignored its tricks, and thought of the cunning of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, and suddenly realized it.

"Baga!

There must be a lot of extremely strong fortifications under this hill!

The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is very cunning.

I order the Army Air Force of the Central China Front to continue the bombing.

No, all Army Air Forces must come.

At the same time, immediately coordinate with the Third Fleet to continue sending bombers to continue bombing here!"

After giving these orders to his deputy, Yanagawa Heisuke suddenly had an idea.
