Pingjin.
Shimomura Sada and Kurihara Nobuo both fled back, one to Yandu, and the other to Jinmen, where they each deployed defenses for a final stand.
The Ninth Area Army and the North China Area Army have been beaten into dead dogs. There are not many strongholds left for the Japanese devils in North China.
The remaining 70,000 to 80,000 Japanese devils from the Ninth Area Army and the North China Area Army basically chose to flee back to Pingjin City.
In order to prevent the Eighth Route Army from using fuel-air explosive bombs to attack the city, Shimomura Sada and Kurihara Nobuo dispersed their troops into various residential areas throughout the city, deploying defenses layer by layer in units of companies, preparing to fight a battle to defend Pingjin!
They relied on the city's civilians and residential areas to conduct a comprehensive defense, attempting to drag the entire city down with them.
This made the Eighth Route Army headquarters, which had originally planned to take North China in one go, somewhat hesitant.
This move by the Japanese devils did make the Eighth Route Army headquarters feel a bit helpless. How could they fight? Clear each residential area one by one? Not to mention the casualties of the troops, what about the casualties of the civilians?
And considering the casualties of the civilians, the weapons that could be used were quite limited, and they could only revert to the level of rifles and bayonet fighting. If the battle started like this, even with ten times the force, it would be impossible to take the city without a protracted and bloody house-to-house battle.
"Playing dirty and shameless?" Ren Zhong slammed the table after listening, "Then let's see who is more ruthless. Staff Officer Ye, we can't indulge the Japanese devils in their nonsense. Although they have always been like this, we couldn't do anything about it before, so we couldn't deal with them. Now that we have something in our hands, and they still dare to act tough with us, then let's see who is more ruthless."
Staff Officer Ye rarely saw Ren Zhong angry, but he didn't know what Ren Zhong's solution to this problem was.
You need to know that the staff department and the Eighth Route Army headquarters had discussed it for a long time, and they really had no solution for this situation of dragging the civilians down with them.
"Old Brother Ren, do you have a good solution?" Staff Officer Ye's eyes lit up, feeling that Ren Zhong seemed to have a solution to the hot potato in his hands, and his heart relaxed.
What Ren Zhong saw was more than just this. He didn't tolerate the Japanese devils' dirty tricks, not only because of the ordinary people in Pingjin, but also because of the people in the Northeast. Now that the firepower had reversed, even if the Japanese devils still had 700,000 troops in the Northeast, they were scattered in various places, and it was difficult to concentrate them. To be precise, it would be difficult to concentrate even 200,000.
Otherwise, the sparks of the underground organization and the Anti-Japanese Allied Army could soon start a prairie fire.
The more ruthless the Japanese devils' exploitation of the Northeast was, the more intense the resistance would be now.
Therefore, Ren Zhong was not afraid of the Japanese devils concentrating for a decisive battle at all, but street fighting was different.
Especially street fighting in big cities. If the Japanese devils placed their positions in residential areas and industrial factory areas, then basically everything would be over after the battle, and the entire city would be completely turned into ruins.
Just like the numerous XXgrad in the Great Bear, only ruins remained in the end.
If it were in the past, Ren Zhong would certainly have no solution.
But now, didn't they have fuel-air explosive bombs? There were also three Dongfeng-2 samples of the latest improved Dongfeng Express second-generation product, which theoretically had a range of more than 1,300 kilometers based on propellant energy calculation, ensuring a range of 1,200 kilometers.
And the ten Dongfeng-1As that had been rushed out during this period, so Ren Zhong was very confident.
"Staff Officer Ye, this time we don't need to play any tricks, just beat the Japanese devils according to their actions, beat them to death. Haven't we already developed the second-generation new product of rockets? It's a good time to test it on the Japanese devils."
"We will order the Japanese devils through radio and open telegrams to not use urban areas as battle positions from today onwards, and to come out of the urban areas for a fair and square decisive battle.
From the date of the announcement, if anyone dares to use any urban residential area as a combat zone, the Eighth Route Army will launch a devastating blow against the Japanese mainland cities as retaliation. For every injury to residents and property, we will retaliate by destroying two Japanese mainland cities!
Starting from Pingjin, the deadline is to withdraw from urban residential areas from the date of the announcement. If you are obsessed with your own ideas, the Eighth Route Army will destroy one Japanese city as punishment for every day of delay. The list of retaliatory cities starts from Nagasaki, Saga, Tomioka, Shingu, Kumamoto, Nagato, Miyo, Onoda, Hiroshima, Takazi, Okayama, Tottori, Kyoto, Kobe, Osaka, and Tokyo!"
Staff Officer Ye was familiar with some of the city names that Ren Zhong mentioned, and unfamiliar with others.
"Old Brother Ren, is this real, or is there some exaggeration in it?" Staff Officer Ye asked excitedly.
"Of course, it's a mix of truth and fiction, but now we do have the ability to attack west of the Japanese Kyoto. Our latest rocket has a range of 1,300 kilometers. Of course, this is the extreme range. In this case, the accuracy is difficult to guarantee, but for a range of 1,200 kilometers, the circular error probability is 1,000 meters," Ren Zhong said with a smile.
"We don't have that many rockets to destroy all these cities, but the Japanese devils don't know that. As long as we actually destroy three or five of their cities, the Japanese devils will be honest."
Ren Zhong knew very well that the Japanese devils were afraid of power but not grateful for virtue, so they had to be hurt before they would learn to listen to others.
"Will this work?" Staff Officer Ye asked in disbelief.
After all, the Japanese devils were famous for their cunning and cruelty.
"For the little devils, just go all out and beat them to death. Will this strategy work? We'll know if we try it. Now, let's transport the rockets to the easternmost part of the Shandong Peninsula and get ready. Once everything is ready, we'll broadcast a clear message and repeat it on the radio, directly targeting the little devils' weak spot. Anyway, we're just wasting some rockets, it's not a loss!" Ren Zhong said with confidence.
Chief of Staff Ye felt that this strategy was a bit unbelievable.
However, he did not directly refute it.
Instead, he took Ren Zhong's suggestion back.
Unsurprisingly, Ren Zhong's suggestion caused a great uproar.
Fortunately, the high-level circle was small, and the internal debate did not leak out at all. After a series of debates, someone made the decision to just do it! Who's afraid of being criticized after death? This matter is beneficial to the country and the nation, and they will bear all the consequences!
Thus, the rocket force was dispatched once again. Fortunately, this time they didn't have to pass through the little devils' blockade, so the speed and safety were much better. The towed convoy traveled day and night, and after three days and three nights, they entered the target area and began preparations.
Ren Zhong had the top-secret coordinates of the strike zone. After ensuring secrecy, the first five target cities were directly locked.
Once preparations were complete, they directly issued a clear message and broadcast, ordering the little devils in Tianjin to leave the city on their own from that day onwards, and have a fair and square decisive battle. Otherwise, for every extra day they stayed, the Eighth Route Army would indiscriminately strike a city on the little devils' homeland!
Moreover, after the date of the announcement, if the little devils dared to destroy the city again through street fighting or other means, the Eighth Route Army would destroy two cities on the little devils' homeland in retaliation for every city destroyed!
At the same time, a list of target cities on the little devils' homeland was announced, with Tokyo prominently listed!
This move by the Eighth Route Army once again shocked the world. For the Chinese people, everyone was jubilant and eager to destroy all the little devils immediately!
Some radical people even demanded an immediate attack to retaliate for the countless crimes committed by the little devils on Chinese soil.
The latest novels are first published on 69shu.com!
On the little devils' side, when they received this information, their first reaction was disbelief!
They didn't believe that the Eighth Route Army had this capability.
Shimonura Sada and Kuribayashi Nobuo sneered at this news and ordered the little devils to continue their street fighting deployments, making sure the Eighth Route Army paid a heavy price in the city!
In the little devils' headquarters, opinions were now divided. The heavy losses in Nagasaki had already made some little devils suspect that the Eighth Route Army had a new secret weapon.
Now, the Eighth Route Army directly announced it to the world, which was tantamount to admitting that they were the ones who did it last time.
The headquarters understood the power of such a domineering weapon much more deeply than Shimonura Sada and Kuribayashi Nobuo in Tianjin. It was truly a powerful weapon that could destroy a city!
Now, the headquarters was having military experts analyze what the principle was, but there were basically not many traces left at the scene. The fire burned many things away.
The only thing that could be confirmed was that this was definitely not an explosive. TNT didn't have such a large destructive power.
This was a completely new weapon. They couldn't even deduce the principle behind many things.
How could they defend against this?
Ren Zhong had a very accurate grasp of the little devils' temperament, so after announcing it to the world, he did not take action on the first day. On the second day, he launched an attack on Kumamoto according to plan!
This time, after the last strike test and the returned on-site photos, and after careful calculations, destroying a city did not completely rely on the destructive power of the cloud-explosive bomb itself, but rather on making the best use of the secondary disasters of fire caused by the cloud-explosive bomb!
The last strike was obviously too dense, which led to the fireballs absorbing a lot of oxygen and weakening the city's burning effect, which led to the harvest of only half a city!
This time, after calculations, Ren Zhong planned to use 3 rockets to accurately calculate the ignition area and calculate the interval between the ignited fire zones. Given the large-area wooden structures used in the little devils' current city housing, if the city was successfully ignited with cloud-explosive bombs at calculated intervals, the entire city would burn, turning into a barbecue for the little devils, which would be extremely powerful!
In this regard, General LeMay was the real expert.
When the entire city burned, forming a burning fire zone of several square kilometers, it was difficult for even gods to save it. Relying on the little water from the fire trucks of this era was truly a drop in the bucket. The city would have to burn completely before it could stop. The real way to use cloud-explosive bombs was to use this method!
This new wave of attacks ignited the entire city of Kumamoto. Although the direct damage caused may not have been even 20,000, the huge urban fire formed after igniting the city almost destroyed the entire city, ultimately causing 113,612 casualties among the little devils and leaving more than 200,000 homeless!
Because it was daytime, the little devils knew to run outside when they saw that things were not going well. Before the city was completely ignited, most of them ran out.
But just like that, with three simple rockets, Ren Zhong almost leveled this city near Nagasaki, belonging to the little devils.
It was burned to almost a blank slate.
The little devils' headquarters received the news of the attack and losses. There was no need to count them. An entire city was turned into ruins. Who could bear this? The little devils at headquarters were all going crazy!
At the same time, some were also frightened!
Because in the announcement, the Eighth Route Army mentioned a very sensitive place!
Although everyone was avoiding talking about it now, this was not something they could avoid by burying their heads in the sand.
