Siheyuan: Hang Jia Dongxu, smash Banggeng to death!

"Commander, where's our next stop?" Zhao Dazhuang asked in a muffled voice, clutching his machine gun.

"Jinan".

Ma Yongzhen put down his binoculars.

Zhao Dazhuang grinned, "You little devils, Grandpa Zhao is here!"

The towns along the way were liberated.

The people lined the streets to welcome them.

The Japanese army built a strong defensive line around Jinan.

Trenches, bunkers, and barbed wire were densely packed together. Ma Yongzhen observed through binoculars, his brow furrowed.

"Commander, the Japanese are heavily guarding the area," Zhao Dazhuang said, lying down beside him.

"No matter how strict the measures are, we must crack down on it."

Ma Yongzhen put down his binoculars and ordered, "Pass down the order to prepare for the attack."

The classic firepower flip-top, shells slamming into the Japanese positions, trenches collapsing.

The infantry followed behind the tanks and charged.

Zhao Dazhuang charged ahead with a machine gun, followed by Liu Liuliu, with Dajun and Zhou Xingxing close behind.

The shouts of battle were deafening, bullets flew everywhere, and the Japanese troops fought desperately, with machine guns firing and mortars bombarding them.

But they couldn't stop the steel torrent. Tanks rolled over the trenches, and machine guns swept across the enemy, making it impossible for the Japanese to raise their heads.

The army used its special abilities to locate the concentration of the Japanese troops ahead and guide the artillery fire.

"Charge!"

The battle raged from dawn till dusk.

The Japanese defenses were breached one by one, and the bunkers were destroyed one by one.

The remaining troops fled, pursued by the Independent Brigade.

Zhao Dazhuang, carrying a machine gun, was at the forefront of the chase. He saw a Japanese officer fleeing on horseback, so he raised his machine gun and aimed it.

"Da da da!"

The Japanese officer fell off his horse and died on the spot.

Liu Liuliu followed behind him, panting heavily.

"Big Zhuang, you run way too fast!"

"How can we catch up with the Japanese if we're not fast?"

Zhao Dazhuang laughed heartily, "Let's go, keep chasing!"

Night fell.

The soldiers of the Independent Brigade stood in front of the former Japanese headquarters building, cheering with joy.

Lin Tian stood on the city wall, looking at the brightly lit city in the distance. The wind blew up the corner of his clothes, and his eyes were a little red.

He thought of his predecessors who were killed by the Japanese invaders, and of his suffering compatriots. Now, he could comfort their souls in heaven.

The Japanese troops began their retreat.

They knew they couldn't stop the iron torrent of the Chinese Independent Brigade, so it was better to preserve their strength than to be completely annihilated.

Chen Lü reported on the latest battle situation.

"Commander, the Japanese army is retreating, and most areas have been recovered."

The remaining Japanese troops are fleeing towards South China, preparing to join forces with the troops there.

"Chase."

Lin Tian stood up. "We can't let Xiao Rizi get away. Tell the troops to give it their all and wipe them out."

"yes!"

When the news reached Tokyo, Hideki Tojo slumped weakly into a chair, knowing that more bad news was on his mind.

It’s over.

Emperor Showa also received the battle report in the Imperial Palace and remained silent for a long time.

"Prime Minister, let's stop the war. If we continue, the empire will truly be finished."

Hideki Tojo lowered his head, his voice hoarse, "Your Majesty, I..."

"Stop."

The Emperor's voice was soft, yet unquestionable.

Hideki Tojo knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face, and said, "Your subject obeys."

……

Brigade Commander Chen said happily, "Sir, news has come from Tokyo that the island nation is preparing for a ceasefire."

Lin Tian sneered, "Ceasefire? They can fight whenever they want and stop whenever they want? It's not that easy."

Tell them that if they want a ceasefire, they must first disarm all the invading Japanese troops, hand over the war criminals, and return the occupied land to us.

There's also compensation. This matter won't end until we receive ten billion taels of silver; otherwise, we'll fight to the bitter end, all the way to the island nation.

When the news reached Tokyo, the military headquarters fell into a deathly silence.

Hideki Tojo sat in his office, a telegram from the Chinese Independent Brigade spread out in front of him, his hands trembling.

The conditions imposed by China were too harsh; the empire could not accept them.

Lu Xiang lowered his head and stammered that he would not accept it, and that they were going to attack the Japanese mainland.

Hideki Tojo gritted his teeth. When Minister Lu asked what to do, Tojo remained silent for a long time before finally managing to squeeze out, "Let's talk again."

When the news reached Chongqing, Chiang Kai-shek was holding a meeting at his official residence.

The generals were overjoyed, but he remained somber.

The peace and quiet of our lives is about to end, which is a good thing.

But the Chinese Independent Brigade refused to stop; they wanted to keep fighting.

If they were to invade the Japanese mainland, their power would be even greater.

Chen Cheng cautiously asked if they should try to persuade Commander Lin, but Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand: "Persuade him? Do you think he'll listen to us? Can we even defeat him? Let him be."

The Yan'an general was beaming with joy.

The Japanese devils are doomed. Commander Lin said we should fight all the way to the Japanese mainland.

This is truly gratifying.

The chief of staff asked if we wanted to cooperate, and the commander-in-chief laughed heartily: "Cooperate! Of course we'll cooperate! Tell the troops to prepare for an amphibious operation and fight alongside Commander Lin to the island nation!"

The Japanese troops in South China were still putting up a desperate struggle.

They built defensive lines in Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Hainan Island, preparing for a final stand.

The Independent Regiment, acting as the vanguard, marched from southeast China toward south China.

The outskirts of Guangzhou.

After observing the situation, Ma Yongzhen ordered an attack. Once the cannons fired, the Japanese were doomed.

The battle raged from dawn till dusk, with the Japanese defenses being breached one after another.

The remaining troops fled, pursued by the Independent Brigade.

Lin Tianyi shot and knocked a colonel off his horse.

Soldiers of the Independent Brigade cheered in front of the former Japanese headquarters building.

Half a month later.

Hong Kong, a colony of the British.

The Japanese army retreated while holding their position and occupied the area.

"Commander, Hong Kong is the territory of the British. If we invade, won't it cause international disputes?" Ma Yongzhen asked boldly.

"Forget about international disputes, Hong Kong is Chinese territory. If we take it over, we'll take it back."

As for the British, what does it have to do with us? This was a cession agreed upon by the Manchu Qing dynasty, not something we, the men of Han Chinese, would accept.

The decrees of the previous dynasty have no effect on me.

Tanks led the way, followed by infantry.

The battle lasted for half a day, and Hong Kong was liberated.

The Governor of the United Kingdom stood at the entrance of the former Governor's House, his face ashen, and questioned Commander Lin about the meaning of this, saying that this was British territory and that they had no right to enter.

Lin Tian replied calmly, "Hong Kong is Chinese territory. You Americans, if you want to find someone to sell the land, go find them yourselves."

Now, we've taken it back. If you have any objections, you can sue me in the International Court of Justice; otherwise, get out!

The British governor cursed them under his breath as shameless.

But amidst the torrent of steel, he followed his heart.

The news spread around the world, and British Prime Minister Churchill was furious, slamming his fist on the table and cursing.

However, the United States is at war with the United Kingdom and is unable to look eastward, so it can only protest.

Even Roosevelt of the United States expressed concern, but was equally powerless to do anything about it.

The Huaxia Independent Brigade is too powerful; they dare not act rashly.

Hainan Island.

The last stronghold of the Japanese army.

The Japanese army fought desperately, but could not stop the torrent of steel.

The battle lasted for three days.

The Japanese flag was torn down.

With this, the war against the Japanese pirates came to an end.

The news reached Tokyo once again, and Hideki Tojo slumped into his chair, his face ashen.

It’s over.

Emperor Showa remained silent for a long time in the Imperial Palace before finally ordering a ceasefire.

Another telegram arrived from the Chinese Independent Brigade.

We do not accept a ceasefire.

Hideki Tojo lowered his head, his voice hoarse.

When asked what to do, Lu Xiang gritted his teeth and said, "Agree to them?"

Chiang Kai-shek received the telegram and remained silent for a long time.

A complete victory has been achieved.

But he felt a mix of emotions, because the victory was not one he had won.
