Chapter 243: The final madness of the Fuso Army, the Southern Alliance becomes history
More than 50,000 soldiers from the 1st and 2nd Marine Divisions surrounded Guangzhou on three sides.
After delivering the letter to General Miyamoto Hashimoto, the two divisions did not launch an attack on Guangzhou, but waited for the next order.
Or in other words, he is waiting for Miyamoto Hashirō's choice.
Miyamoto Hashirō didn't let the Marines wait too long.
"Commander, the reconnaissance helicopter spotted a large number of Fuso troops rushing in our direction. There are trucks in front of them. They want to attack our defense line."
In the Dongjiang District, more than 30,000 Fuso troops gathered on the edge of the city.
The organization of this Fuso army was very disorganized. The soldiers came from two divisions and were temporarily organized together after their organization was broken up.
As the troops gathered, the Fuso army also began to use tactics to attack the Fusion Army positions outside the city.
The 7th and 8th Amphibious Infantry Regiments of the 2nd Marine Division, with a total of more than 6,000 troops, were responsible for defending the Dongjiang River.
The 2nd Marine Division's headquarters was right behind the two regiments.
Upon hearing that a large number of Fuso troops were coming, the commander of the 2nd Marine Division cheered up and said excitedly: "Great, they are finally here!"
"Order the 7th and 8th Regiments to deploy in formation and stop the Fuso Army's offensive.
Order the Second Artillery Regiment to concentrate all divisional artillery fire to intercept the attacking Fuso Army convoy."
The Fuso army was not equipped with tanks.
The navy suffered heavy losses, and most of the steel was used to build new ships.
The steel allocated to the army is only enough to build cannons, and is not enough to build tanks.
However, if you want to attack the defense line of the Renaissance Army, it is definitely not enough to rely on your two legs alone.
Therefore, concentrating trucks for a quick assault became General Miyamoto's best option.
On the highway, more than two hundred trucks of various types loaded with gasoline barrels and explosives were running wildly on the plains, like the charging of fire bulls in ancient times, charging desperately towards the defense line of the 2nd Marine Division.
Behind the 52nd Marine Division, a number of M105 44mm self-propelled howitzers and M155 mm self-propelled howitzers are ready to go.
Guided by the coordinates provided by the reconnaissance helicopter, dozens of self-propelled artillery pieces began to roar.
One shell after another cut through the air and landed in front of the truck convoy.
The explosion caused dirt and rubble to fly into the sky, and the entire area was shrouded in smoke.
"The Emperor is onboard!"
The Fuso pilot at the front roared like a madman with a distorted face.
With the car doors welded shut and the brakes removed, they had no choice but to charge forward.
"boom....."
A 155mm shell directly hit the Suzuki light truck in the front.
The gasoline barrels and explosive packs loaded on the car were instantly ignited.
The huge explosion sounded like thunder, and a dazzling fireball spread out in all directions.
The truck was torn into pieces at the moment of the explosion.
"Boom...boom..."
Even though the road was blocked by artillery shells, the trucks driven by the Fuso army still stopped without hesitation.
One car after another was blown to pieces.
Moreover, the craters formed by the exploding shells also blocked the trucks' progress.
Some trucks crashed directly into the bomb craters, and the Fuso soldiers driving the vehicles broke through the windshield and flew out.
The device on the vehicle directly ignited the explosives after being subjected to a huge impact force, and the entire truck was instantly engulfed and torn apart by the fireball.
After seeing all this, the commander of the 2nd Marine Division said solemnly, "This Japanese is truly crazy, completely disregarding life and death.
Fortunately, their equipment is outdated, otherwise they would be a really tough opponent!"
He wouldn't have said that if he knew the trucks' doors were welded shut, their brakes removed, and the soldiers had taken assault pills before setting off.
Although Fuso's soldiers were influenced by Bushido and took life and death lightly, they were not completely fearless.
They are afraid too, but they can only control the steering wheel and cannot even control the speed. What else can they do?
Despite the blockade of artillery, dozens of trucks still rushed out of the line of fire. At this moment, they were less than 2 kilometers away from the defense line of the Second Division.
"Fire!!!"
The Fuxing Army did not build positions outside the city. Instead, infantry fighting vehicles were scattered across the plains, forming an iron line of defense.
The vehicle's 20mm and 30mm machine guns opened fire.
The Fuso truck rushing in the front was directly hit and exploded and disintegrated.
Although the 20mm caliber is small, it is still a cannon after all.
It may not be able to attack tanks, but it can be used to attack light vehicles and blow them up one by one.
The vehicle-mounted machine gun was like a broom on the battlefield, blowing up dozens of Fuso trucks that were rushing towards it on the road with the momentum of autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
Not a single vehicle came within 1 kilometer of the defense line.
"Extend the artillery fire and fire at the Fuso army's assembled troops to force them out!"
The artillery group in the rear stopped firing, and the fire started again in less than two minutes.
This time, the shells landed on the Fuso army that was gathering on the edge of Dongjiang River.
The shells fell on the crowd, causing a series of explosions.
The 155mm large-caliber high-explosive grenade is like a killer.
With one shot, the Fuso troops within 50 meters were wiped out. The Fuso troops near the center of the explosion were directly blown into a bloody mist, with minced meat scattered everywhere.
"Kill him!"
More and more Fuso troops were forced to launch an attack under the bombardment.
Tens of thousands of Fuso people shouted various slogans and launched the final desperate charge!
"The Emperor is onboard!"
Tens of thousands of people gathered into a torrent and swept forward.
At this time, the people rushing in the front were swept forward by the Fuso army behind them, and even if they wanted to retreat, they had no way to do so.
At this time, F-8 carrier-based fighters and A-4 Skyhawk attack aircraft took off from two aircraft carriers and roared in from a distance, continuously launching dive attacks and dropping bombs and rockets into the crowd.
The explosions of artillery shells and aerial bombs created gaps one after another in the crowd.
But these gaps were quickly filled by soldiers rushing up from the rear.
When tens of thousands of Fuso troops rushed to about three kilometers away from the defense line, 120mm and 81mm mortars opened fire.
The dense fragments were like the scythe of the god of death, constantly shuttling through the crowd, stirring up wave after wave of bloody storm.
The Fuso Army, which was forced into a desperate situation, was so crazy that even the two Marine division commanders were surprised.
The defense line of the Restoration Army was like a meat grinder, and as many Fuso soldiers rushed forward, they fell down.
"This is not a war, this is a massacre!"
The battlefield now is a huge killing field.
More than 100,000 Fuso troops fearlessly attacked the defense line of the Fuxing Army.
General Miyamoto Hashirō's final stand did not cost the Restoration Army any great price, resulting in only a few hundred casualties.
It was caused by the Fuso infantry artillery and mortars.
The three lines of defense in front of the Restoration Army were covered with corpses and rivers of blood, like a purgatory.
The two divisions of the Fuxing Army fought from morning to afternoon, a total of four hours, before ending this one-sided massacre.
After receiving the news that his troops were completely wiped out, General Miyamoto Hashirō of the Fuso Army also returned to his room.
When the adjutant opened the door, he saw the general lying in a pool of blood with a samurai sword stuck across his abdomen.
At this time, the adjutant also pulled out the pistol from his waist and shot himself in the temple without hesitation.
Sporadic gunshots continued to ring out in the command center until they stopped after several minutes.
An hour later, the vanguard of the 1st Marine Division rushed to the Presidential Palace occupied by the Fuso Army and found the bodies of Fuso Army soldiers all over the ground.
When the officer saw Miyamoto Hashirō's body, he said to the communications soldier beside him.
"Send a telegram to your superiors and tell them that we have occupied the presidential palace and found Miyamoto Hashi Ryo's body."
More than 200,000 Fuso troops were completely wiped out, Guangzhou was occupied, and tens of thousands of John and Gaul prisoners were captured.
The Fuxing Army won a great victory in this battle.
Moreover, this battle was not just about occupying Yangcheng, but also completely defeated the Southern Alliance.
When the generals on the front line learned from the telegram issued by the Fuxing Army that Guangzhou had been occupied and the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces had been completely wiped out.
All the troops on the front lines of Liangling left their positions and surrendered to the Fuxing Army.
Although there are still a few diehards, they have not caused any waves.
Because the lower-level soldiers were simply unwilling to fight, even if these diehards wanted to fight, no one would follow them.
On May 5, the Fuxing Army announced that Guangzhou had been occupied.
On May 5, the front-line troops of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation surrendered one after another.
On May 5th, the Fuxing Army occupied the entire territory of Liangling, completing the recovery of the two provinces. Update the power map. This battle caused a huge sensation both domestically and internationally.
However, because John and Gaul blocked the news of the coalition forces, the people in their own countries did not know about these things.
But the top leaders of both countries knew very well that they could no longer stop the rise of the Renaissance Army.
The problem facing them now is how to face the Renaissance Army in the future.
For the Fuso people, this war was no less than a catastrophe.
They don't have many veterans.
The destruction of these five divisions dealt a heavy blow to the Fuso Army, killing all of their few remaining veterans.
Although the divisions could be rebuilt, they would soon be able to mobilize millions of troops.
But veterans are the soul of an army.
This is not the most critical.
The most important thing is that the Fuso army's ambition to continue to interfere in the ancient country and Dongzhou was completely shattered.
At this point, even the most radical radicals would not dare to cry out for revenge.
The pro-war cabinet was ousted by the angry emperor on the same day, and a new cabinet was supported to take power.
The next strategy of the Fuso people is to continue to lie dormant, accumulate strength and wait for the future.
However, Jiang Hua would not give them time to develop.
After sweeping away the warlords, unifying the country, and dealing with Tsarist Russia, the first target he attacked was the Fuso Empire.
The top priority now is to eliminate other warlords and factions, and then beat Tsarist Russia back so that they dare not reach out to the East again.
