Chapter 288: The whole city is broken? Give your hometown rockets to play and see who is more ruthless
Pingjin.

Both Shimomura Sada and Kurihara Nobuo escaped back, one in Yandu and the other in Tianjin, where they each deployed their own defenses and made a final resistance.

After the Ninth Front Army and the North China Front Army were beaten to death, there are not many strongholds left for the Japanese devils in North China.

The remaining 70,000 to 80,000 Japanese soldiers of the Ninth Front Army and the North China Front Army basically chose to flee back to the city of Peiping and Tianjin.

In order to prevent the Eighth Route Army from using fuel-air explosives to attack the city, Shimomura Sada and Kurihara Nobuo dispersed their troops to various residential areas throughout the city, deployed them in layers in squadrons, and prepared to fight a defense battle for Peiping and Tianjin!

They relied on the residential areas of the city to deploy comprehensive defenses, attempting to drag down the entire city with them.

As a result, the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, which had originally planned to take over North China in one fell swoop, became a little cautious.

The Japanese used this trick, which really made the Eighth Route Army headquarters somewhat helpless. How to fight? Clear out every residential area one by one? Not to mention the casualties of the troops, what about the casualties of the civilians?
Taking the casualties of civilians into consideration, the weapons used were quite limited, and they could only revert to rifles and bayonets. Once this war was fought, even with ten times more troops, it would be impossible to win without a protracted bloody fight from house to house.

Therefore, the Eighth Route Army Headquarters temporarily surrounded Tianjin and Beijing but did not attack them. Instead, they took over all the surrounding stations and airports, preparing to besiege the Japanese for a while.

However, after Staff Officer Ye told Ren Zhong about this matter.

"Playing tough and shameless?" Ren Zhong slammed the table and stood up after hearing this. "Then let's see who is more ruthless, Staff Officer Ye. We can't indulge the Japanese in this kind of thing. 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, they still dare to play tough with us. Let's see who is more ruthless."

It was rare for Staff Officer Ye to see Ren Zhong angry, but he didn't know how Ren Zhong could solve this problem.

You have to know that the General Staff and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters had been discussing for a long time, and there was really no way to deal with this situation where the common people would be dragged down with them and all would be destroyed.

"Brother Ren, do you have a good idea?" Staff Officer Ye's eyes lit up. He felt relieved that Ren Zhong seemed to have a solution to the hot potato in his hand.

Ren Zhong saw more than that. He was not accustomed to the Japanese's dirty tricks, not only because of the ordinary people in Tianjin and Beijing, but also because of the people in the Northeast. Now the firepower was reversed. Even if the Japanese still had 70 troops in the Northeast, they were distributed and guarding various places, and there were not many who could be concentrated. To be precise, it was difficult to concentrate .

Otherwise, the sparks of the underground organizations and the Anti-Japanese United Army would quickly spread like wildfire.

The more harshly the Japanese oppressed the Northeast, the more fierce the resistance will be now.

So Ren Zhong was not afraid of the Japanese gathering together for a decisive battle, but street fighting was different.

Especially in street fighting in big cities, if the Japanese set up their positions in residential areas and industrial areas, then by the time the battle is over, basically everything will be over and the entire city will be completely reduced to ruins.

Just like XXgle where there were many big bears, only ruins were left in the end.

If it were in the past, Ren Zhong would certainly have no choice.

But now, don’t we have fuel-air explosive bombs? We also have three samples of the latest improved Dongfeng Express second-generation new product Dongfeng 2, which theoretically has a range of more than 3 kilometers based on the propellant energy calculation, ensuring a range of 1300 kilometers.

And with the 10 Dongfeng 1A missiles that were rushed out during this period, Ren Zhong is very confident.

"Staff Officer Ye, we don't need to use any tricks this time. We just need to pin the Japs down and beat them to death. Haven't we already developed a second-generation rocket product? We can try it out on the Japs."

"We have ordered the Japanese through broadcasting and clear text messages not to use the urban area as a battle position from now on, and to leave the urban area and fight an open and decisive battle.

From the date of this announcement, if anyone dares to use any urban residential area as a combat zone, the Eighth Route Army will launch a devastating attack on the local cities of Xiaobenzi in retaliation. For every damage to the residents and property, the Eighth Route Army will retaliate by destroying two local cities of Xiaobenzi!
Starting from Pingjin, the city residential areas must be evacuated from the date of the announcement. If you insist on not changing your ways, the Eighth Route Army will destroy the city of Kobenzi as punishment for every day of delay. The list of cities for retaliation includes Nagaki, Sako, Tomioka, Shingu, Shinmoto, Nagato, Meimi, Onoda, Hiroshima, Takashi, Gangshan, Tottori, Kinto, Kobe, Osaka, and Togane!"

Some of the city names revealed by Ren Zhong were familiar to Staff Officer Ye, while others were unfamiliar.

"Brother Ren, is this true or is there some water in it?" Staff Officer Ye asked excitedly.

"Of course it's real and fake, but now we do have the ability to attack the Japanese west of Jindu. Our newest rocket has a range of 1300 kilometers. Of course, this is the maximum range. In this case, accuracy is difficult to guarantee, but for a range of 1200 kilometers, the circular probability error is 1000 meters." Ren Zhong said with a smile.

"We don't have that many rockets to destroy all those cities, but the Japanese don't know that either. As long as we can destroy three or five of their cities, they will behave themselves."

Ren Zhong knew very well that the Japanese were afraid of power and not morality, so he had to hurt them so that they would learn to listen to him.

"Is that all?" Staff Officer Ye was a little bit unconvinced.

After all, the Japanese were well-known for their cunning and cruelty. "We should just kill them. Let's try my strategy and see if it works. Now we should transport the rockets to the easternmost part of the Qilu Peninsula and get ready. When everything is ready, we can turn on the power and broadcast the signal repeatedly and directly hit the Japanese's weak spot. Anyway, we just waste some rockets, so it's not a loss!" Ren Zhong said confidently.

Staff Officer Ye found this strategy a little unbelievable.

But he did not directly refute it.

Instead, he went back with Ren Zhong's advice.

There is no doubt that Ren Zhong's suggestion caused an uproar.

Fortunately, the scope of the top leaders was limited, and the internal debate on this matter did not spread at all. After a series of debates, someone decided to do it! Why worry about the bad reputation behind you? This matter is beneficial to the country and the nation, and I will bear any consequences!

In this way, the rocket troops were dispatched again. Fortunately, this time they did not have to pass through the Japanese blockade zone, so the speed and safety were much better. The towing 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 longitude and latitude of the strike area in his hands. After ensuring its confidentiality, the first five target cities were directly locked on.

After all preparations were completed, they were ordered through clear telegrams and broadcasts to leave the cities on their own and have a fair and open decisive battle. Otherwise, for every day they stayed, the Eighth Route Army would indiscriminately attack a city in their native land!
Moreover, after the date of this announcement, if the Japanese dare to destroy the city again by street fighting or other means, the Eighth Route Army will retaliate by destroying two cities on the Japanese mainland for each city destroyed!

At the same time, a list of Japanese urban clusters to be attacked was announced, and Dongjin was on the list!

This action of the Eighth Route Army shocked the world again. As for the Dragon Clan, everyone was excited and wanted to destroy all the Japanese devils immediately!
Some radicals even demanded an immediate attack in retaliation for the numerous crimes committed by the Japanese on Dragon land.

As for the Japanese, when they heard this information, they didn't believe it at first!

They didn't believe that the Eighth Route Army had this ability.

Shimomura Sadao and Kurihara Nobuo scoffed at the news and ordered the Japanese to continue their street fighting deployment and make the Eighth Route Army pay a heavy price in the city!
The Japanese's base camp was now divided into two factions with different opinions. The heavy losses in Changqi made some Japanese suspect that the Eighth Route Army had a new secret weapon.

Now that the Eighth Route Army has directly announced it to the world, it is tantamount to saying that it was them who did it last time.

The headquarters had a much deeper understanding of such a powerful weapon than Shimomura Sada and Kurihara Nobuo in Pingjin. It was truly a powerful weapon that could destroy a city!
The base has now asked military experts to analyze the principle behind this, but there are basically not many traces left at the scene as the fire burned many things.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that this is definitely not an explosive. Even TNT does not have such a great destructive power.

This is a brand new weapon, and there are many things about it that they can't even figure out the principles behind.

How can one defend against this?
Ren Zhong had a good grasp of the Japanese's temper, so after announcing the matter to the world, he took no action on the first day, but launched the attack on Japan as planned during the day on the second day!

After the last strike test and the on-site photos returned, after careful calculation, it was concluded that destroying a city now does not rely entirely on the destructive power of the fuel-air bomb itself, but rather on making the best use of the secondary disasters of fire caused by the fuel-air bomb!
The last attack was obviously too intensive, causing the fireballs to absorb a large amount of oxygen, which weakened the burning effect on the city. This resulted in only half of the city being harvested!

After calculations, Ren Zhong prepared to use three rockets. He had accurately calculated the ignition area and the intervals between the fire zones after ignition. Given the large-scale wooden structures used in the houses in the Japanese cities at this stage, if the city was successfully ignited with the calculated intervals of the fuel-air bombs, the entire city would burn and become a barbecue for the Japanese.
In this regard, General Li Mei is an expert.

When the whole city is on fire, a blazing fire zone of several square kilometers is formed. It is difficult for even gods to save the city. Relying on the little water from fire trucks in this era is just a drop in the bucket. The fire can only be stopped after the whole city is burned. The real use of fuel-air bombs is to adopt this method!
This new wave of attacks set the entire city of Yanben on fire. Although the direct damage may be less than 113612, the huge urban fire formed after the city was set on fire almost destroyed the entire city, ultimately causing 20 Japanese casualties and more than homeless!

Because it was daytime, the Japanese knew to run away when they saw that the situation was getting worse. Most of them ran away before the city was completely set on fire.

But with just three simple rocket fire, Ren Zhong almost flattened the Japanese city near Changqi.

It was burned till it was almost white.

When the Japanese base received the news of the losses caused by the attack, they didn't even bother to count the losses. They just turned the whole city into ruins. Who could bear this? All the Japanese in the base were going crazy!

At the same time, I was a little scared!

Because in the notice, the Eighth Route Army mentioned a very sensitive point!

Even though everyone is avoiding talking about it now, it's not something they can avoid by playing ostrich.
