Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 1925 The Battle of Wuhan begins!

Ma Ping'an strongly agrees with Dragon Boat Festival's suggestion.

However, at this time, Danwu made a new suggestion. He wanted to destroy Qisan Yao's branch in Dalian and kill two people, Akasaka Obuchi and Miyato Ichiro, including the medical doctors of Qisan Yao's Dalian branch.

These people, for the sake of their own honor, use the Chinese as experimental materials, and they deserve to die.

Ma Pingan also agreed with this. It's just that he is a little worried about the safety of Dragon Boat Festival. After all, they have now entered enemy-occupied territory and are surrounded by enemies. Once surrounded by the enemy, the consequences will be disastrous.

So Ma Ping'an added a condition that he would take action only after he contacted the Dalian underground party.

Dragon Boat Festival thought for a while and then agreed. Then he expressed another concern, which was whether Hideo Sato would return to China in the next ten days.

Ma Pingan said with a smile: "Don't worry about this. Our people are keeping an eye on Sato Hideo and are taking him to various scenic spots in Europe. He will not be able to come back within two or three months."

Danwu felt a little relieved at this time, at least before arriving in Dalian, Sato Hideo himself should not be able to come back.

So in the next ten days, Danwu dealt with Akasaka Obuchi and Miyafuji Ichiro with ease, and obtained a large amount of information from both of them. Including the start of the Battle of Wuhan.

The start of the Battle of Wuhan was expected during the Dragon Boat Festival.

In addition to being the gateway for the Japanese army to attack the mountain city, Wuhan is located in the Jianghan Plain and is the intersection of the Ping-Han and Guangdong-Han railways.

After some institutions of the National Government moved from Nanjing to Wuhan in November 1937, the place actually became the military, political, and economic center of China, and its strategic position was very important.

Wuhan is located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. It was the second largest city in China at that time, with a population of more than 2 million. The city is divided into three parts by the Yangtze River and Hanshui River: Wuchang, Hankou and Hanyang. Wuchang is the political center, Hankou is the center of commerce, and Hanyang is An important industrial town, after the completion of the Guangdong-Hankou Railway, it became an important transportation center in inland China and a hub for transporting foreign aid from southern ports to the inland.

After the Japanese invaded and occupied Nanjing, although the Nationalist government moved westward to the mountain city, most of the government agencies and military headquarters were in Wuhan. Wuhan actually became the country's military, political, and economic center and wartime capital at that time.

At that time, China's military power was concentrated on defending Wuhan. The Japanese government and the Chinese Expeditionary Force headquarters both expected that the fall of Wuhan would cause China to cease its resistance.

Therefore, for this reason, the Japanese base camp concentrated 14 divisions in central China.

而直接参加武汉作战的则是第2集团军和第11集团军共9个师的兵力,以及海军第3舰队、航空兵团等,共有各型舰艇约120艘,各型飞机约300架。

For this battle, the little devils gathered more than 250,000 Japanese troops to suppress Wuhan, in order to capture Wuhan head-on and force the Republic of China government to surrender.

But the Republic of China government was not unprepared. Perhaps no Chinese people knew the importance of Wuhan better.

Therefore, in addition to purchasing a large number of advanced weapons for this battle, many arsenals of the National Government are also operating at full capacity, transporting large amounts of weapons and equipment to the front line.

In addition, in order to enhance the command structure and combat capabilities, the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government decided to adjust the combat sequence and established a new 1938th Theater in mid-June 6.

At the same time, it was decided to defend Wuhan with troops from the 5th and 9th theaters. The troops participating in the Wuhan Defense War, as well as the Air Force and Navy, totaled 14 group armies and 50 corps, about 200 combat aircraft, more than 30 ships, and a total strength of nearly 110 million people.

Since June, troops of various corps have begun to use natural barriers such as Poyang Lake and the Dabie Mountains to step up the construction of fortifications and conduct defensive operations. But the Japanese attack was very fast. The main force of the Japanese 6th Army attacked along the south bank of the Yangtze River, while the Botian detachment had landed northeast of Ruichang and encountered the Third Army of the National Revolutionary Army head-on.

The two sides fought fiercely along the Yangtze River, but it would probably take at least half a month to decide the winner.

In this regard, Duan Wu has already done his best to obey fate. After all, everything he should prepare has been prepared for the Wuhan battle. What's more, judging from history, the little devil can't get half the advantage in this battle.

Although the Japanese army finally occupied Wuhan, their vitality was severely damaged.

···········

Time flies by like a flash. Ten days pass in the blink of an eye. On the evening of the tenth day, the port of Dalian is already in sight.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the sea, and the waves are sparkling, reflecting a golden world. Dalian's port is like a vivid picture, displayed in front of everyone.

Duanwu stood on the bow of the ship and looked far into the distance. On the wide and sturdy dock, dock workers were busy carrying goods. The dock was filled with boxes of various shapes and sizes, as well as mountains of coal. Iron ore and so on.

These are the resources that the little devils plundered from China, and they piled them on the dock to be shipped back to Japan.

Everyone knows that Japan is resource-poor. They don't even have coals to start a fire for cooking, so they like to eat raw food so much.

Because there is no way, they don't have enough coal and wood. If you don't eat it raw, you will starve to death.

That's why they covet China's territory and these mineral resources so much.

They loaded the ships day and night, eager to transport the whole of China back to Japan.

Therefore, there are a large number of Japanese transport ships docked at the port.

And some Japanese transport ships were dumping their cargo downwards. Each wooden box contains the Japanese's strategic materials.

Although the Japs established an arsenal in Fengtian after occupying Fengtian, some weapons and equipment still need to be transported from the mainland, otherwise the Japs' war machine will not be able to operate normally.

Duanwu looked at the armaments and supplies at the port, and all he wanted to do was blow them up, so that the little devil would be severely hurt.

But after thinking about it, Duanwu gave up this plan. Because the branch of the 73rd Unit in Dalian poses a greater threat to the Chinese military and civilians.

According to historical records, the Japanese army used bacterial weapons in Northeast China, North China, Northwest China, Central China, East China, South China and Southwest China.

Especially Hulunbuir in Inner Mongolia, Changchun and Nong'an in Jilin, eastern Shandong, Shangrao and Guangfeng in Jiangxi, Nanjing in Jiangsu, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Quzhou, Jinhua, Yiwu, Yunhe, Jiangshan, Longyou, Lishui in Zhejiang, Changsha and Changde in Hunan, and Yunnan In the western region and other regions, bacterial weapons have caused great harm, leading to explosive epidemics of plague, cholera, typhoid and other severe infectious diseases in the above areas, causing unimaginable human disasters.

According to rough statistics in the book "Research Report on the Bacteriological Warfare Crimes of Japan's Invasion of China": "During Japan's invasion of China, it carried out bacterial attacks on more than 20 provinces and cities in mainland China. The outbreak spread to about 298 cities and counties, causing infectious diseases. There are approximately 237 million patients, including approximately 65 deaths.

Therefore, instead of blowing up a little strategic material of the Japanese army, it is better to destroy the branch of the 73rd Unit first, give some color to the little devils, and warn the medical doctors of the devils that China is not their paradise. They dare to If the Chinese are used as experiments, then the only thing waiting for them will be death!
