Chapter 289: Destroying two cities in one day, who is more ruthless?
The Japanese headquarters continued to hold a meeting to discuss this thorny issue amid the noise.

The hard-line Japanese soldiers clamored for a counterattack and revenge against the Eighth Route Army.

"Fight back? How can we fight back? Just with our mouths? Right now we are completely defeated in North China! The Air Force can't even enter the skies over North China without being intercepted."

The Japanese soldier who advocated compromise said sarcastically.

Indeed, the hardliners were dumbfounded when it came to the retaliation plan, because right now, they couldn't even defend themselves in North China and Northeast China, so how could they possibly launch a counterattack? And where could they strike back?
After several previous major counterattacks, North China had already been lost. Now the core of the empire, Northeast China, is in danger and may be lost at any time.

You must know that after the elite Kwantung Army was annihilated, the Japanese headquarters also panicked. This wave of gambles on national destiny suffered a huge loss, and even led to the collapse of North China. Now the Northeast is also facing the most dangerous time in history.

Before the headquarters comes up with a new plan, it would be particularly important if the two key points of Pingjin could delay the Eighth Route Army for two or three months. With this time, the Japanese would be able to produce more weapons in their homeland and the Northeast, and recruit more soldiers to the Northeast!
According to the latest calculations by the headquarters based on the situation on the battlefield in North China, at least another 50 troops are needed to gather a 70-strong mobile combat force to set up layers of defense in the Northeast and fight a decisive battle with the Eighth Route Army!
However, after one mobilization, the potential of the Northeast had almost been exhausted. Now, in order to recruit so many troops and send them to the Northeast for gathering, it would take a certain amount of time to recruit them from the mainland and South Korea.

However, the amount to be raised this time was huge, and everyone had their own plans as to which regions to raise the funds from, so the headquarters held a meeting overnight to discuss countermeasures, and the decision was always hesitant.

Now with the Eighth Route Army's ultimatum, the Japanese plan was disrupted at once.

Make the heads of the Japanese soldiers in the base camp even bigger!
Yanjing.

Of course Shimomura Sada received the report on the attack. The old Japanese was shocked and frightened, and was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. He really didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army would do what it said without any hesitation.

Moreover, the effect of the attack was unexpectedly accurate. If a city was destroyed, it would be destroyed without any compromise.

It is too scary that a city was destroyed by the enemy in one day without even seeing the shadow of the enemy.

Shimomura Sada, who had been staying in the combat command room, looked pale. Looking at the map in front of him, he suddenly felt that everything had become a joke.

His deployments and struggles were actually of no use, and the only result left for him was destruction.

He originally thought that he could drag the Eighth Route Army and countless Dragon Clan civilians to hell together. This is something Xiacun would definitely be able to do. When the battle reaches the end, he would even set fire to the entire city and die together with the Eighth Route Army!

However, the actions of the Eighth Route Army made Shimomura Sada waver in his crazy idea.

In the past, bullies like the Dragon Clan were helpless against them. No matter what they did, they could only be helpless and furious. At most, they would die to avenge the empire. What would it matter if one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, or three hundred thousand Dragon Clan civilians died?

They are just a group of struggling ants. Just stomp them to death.

Tens of millions of Dragon Clan civilians were killed, what could they do? In the end, they just had to be obedient citizens!
Thinking of this, Shimomura Sada slammed the table hard, scaring the other Japanese soldiers in the command room. They knew the threat from the Eighth Route Army, but they didn't know the latest information that their lair had been wiped out. They looked at Shimomura Sada in surprise.

"Mr. Shimomura," the Chief of Staff of the North China Front Army next to him wanted to say something, but Shimomura waved his hand to stop him.

We dare not announce the latest news now, so as not to cause unrest in military morale.

But Shimomura knew that all this was self-deception, and the Eighth Route Army could not just do nothing.

Sure enough, less than an hour later, the Eighth Route Army sent another telegram and broadcast to the world. According to the requirements of the ultimatum, the Japanese had failed to respond positively to the ultimatum, and the Eighth Route Army had destroyed Beijing as punishment. If the Japanese insisted on using the people of Beijing and Tianjin as shields and did not withdraw from the residential areas to fight openly, the Eighth Route Army would destroy a Beijing city every day in retaliation!

The next city will be Tomioka!

The announcement was played on the radio in a loop. When the middle and lower-level Japanese soldiers heard the news, they almost exploded on the spot. However, as soon as Shimomura Sadao heard the news, he ordered all the captains and squadron leaders to strictly control their subordinates to prevent the situation from getting out of control and causing greater losses to his hometown!
The situation this time is completely different from the past. When the dragon people were as weak as ants, they could be trampled at will, but when they stood up like a lion, high-level officials like Shimomura Sada were the first to feel frightened!
Everything they do now will not be without consequences or insignificant like before. Now for every harm done to the Dragon Clan, they have the ability to retaliate tenfold!
Shimomura Sadana didn't know how many rockets the Eighth Route Army had, but they knew that since this weapon had been used so many times on the battlefield, it meant that these were mass-produced weapons.

No matter how much they can produce, even if it's only three or five missiles a month, according to the current situation, as long as they can't destroy the Eighth Route Army, the Dragon Clan can continue to play this game of destroying a city a day! They are already covered in wounds, and they are not afraid to repay blood with blood, but the Empire, can the Empire withstand such damage? .
Shimomura Sadana couldn't believe what kind of blow would fall on Tokin!
The same thing began to happen in Tianjin and other places. The Japanese high-ranking officials became frightened and began to restrain their subordinates.

When the Eighth Route Army issued the ultimatum, almost all the middle and lower-level Japanese soldiers thought that the Eighth Route Army was joking!

Just destroy it if you say so?
Now even the most powerful Rogue Eagles do not have this ability. Even though they have the most powerful air force on the planet and have experienced numerous difficulties in bombing cities, they dare not say that they can directly destroy a city.

However, the opponent's announcement and the strong control from their superiors made most of the Japanese realize that this matter was not simple.

The dragon people were not just making false threats, they were serious! And their homeland was actually destroyed by them.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the upper echelons to not come out and refute the rumors. This is an obvious reality, but many Japanese devils cannot accept it!

It was impossible to control all the lower-level Japanese devils, so after the announcement, some crazy Japanese devils caused new killings, and ordinary Dragon people were harmed in some places.

Ren Zhong could imagine all of this, so he had to be more ruthless than the Japanese devils in order to defeat their brutality!
Therefore, in the evening of the same day, after collecting some solid evidence through the underground organization, they once again sent out telegrams and broadcast the news to the world. Due to the many killings of civilians by the Japanese devils, the Eighth Route Army decided to seek revenge for these innocent people!
Next, we will destroy the two Japanese cities to fight back! In addition to Tomioka, Shingu will also be buried with him!
This time, in the early morning of the third day, Ren Zhong fired three shots at Fukuoka, but the target of the second attack was changed to Shenfu!

Of course Ren Zhong did it on purpose. Xingong is just a small town. For the Japanese, the lesson might not be profound enough and they cannot experience the feeling of excruciating pain. That would not work. The rockets in Ren Zhong's hands are not cabbages, and he cannot keep torturing the Japanese.

So in this attack, Ren Zhong actually played a trick, but it was a ruthless move that dealt a big blow to the Japanese.

After this big move was launched, the Japanese suffered more than just billions of losses.

Tomioka and Jinfu are both large cities with dense Japanese populations, and their areas are an order of magnitude larger than the previous Nihon!

The urban population density was also a little higher. Even if the entire city could not be set on fire, the urban fire caused was completely not on the same order of magnitude as the original fire. Because it was night, the rescue would not be launched. After directly causing more than 2 Japanese soldiers to be cremated on the spot, the spreading fire burned through most of the city, directly burning more than 50 Japanese soldiers to death and injuring more than 30, and leaving more than people homeless!

Of course, it will take several days to calculate the final results of the damage caused by the attack.

However, when the news of the attack on the Shenfu reached the Japanese base camp, the meeting that had been full of debates suddenly fell silent, and even the most stubborn Japanese dared not speak anymore.

However, Ren Zhong unexpectedly attacked two cities in one day, telling the Japanese that he was serious! And he didn't necessarily play by the rules, occasionally jumping to attack a big city for fun!

This is much more effective than making false threats from a distance.

After a moment of silence, the Japanese base camp started to stir again. They had no idea how the other side would proceed. But now that three cities had been destroyed, causing millions of casualties and homelessness, the Japanese had to admit that they could not afford to play this game anymore!
No one in the Japanese base camp knows where the enemy's limit is? ! No one dares to bet that the next city will not be Dongjin! Will they aim at Tianhuang? !
If we aim at Dongjin like this and set the whole Dongjin on fire, there is no need to fight at all. The entire land can just sink and everything will be destroyed!

What makes the Japanese very frustrated is that at this stage they have no means to deal with the Eighth Route Army's large-scale city-destroying attacks!

The Japanese headquarters quickly reached a consensus this time. They could not and dared not turn a deaf ear to it anymore.

Soon they completed the final telegram statement, stating that the Locust Army never targeted civilians and would not use civilians for street fighting. The Japanese expressed their position through the telegram, and at the same time criticized the Eighth Route Army for not abiding by martial ethics, being inconsistent with the statement, and directly attacking the Shenfu!

The Japanese headquarters now had no choice but to surrender. The Eighth Route Army was too scary and did not give them any chance to delay.

The Japanese headquarters even had to order the Japanese in Pingjin to retreat from the city and break out overnight!
Even the original plan of decisive battles in some cities in the Northeast has now ordered the Kwantung Army to stop using civilians as shields in street fighting!

They were already frightened. If they really encountered urban street fighting in the next battle and caused a large number of civilian casualties, they could easily predict the revenge of the Eighth Route Army.
