Chapter 206 Go south, go south
The news that the Republic of Texas declared war on Japan quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of the world!
Xu Yan looked at the newspaper in his hand with a calm expression.
"Commander, these Japanese are so bold! They even have the mind to provoke Texas at this time!" Zhao Wenyu whispered on the side.
"If you want to destroy them, you must first make them crazy! Japan is not far from death if it does this! Just wait, Texas will definitely contact us!" Xu Yan said leisurely while crossing his legs.
"Then what should we do?" Cheng Jun asked.
"Wait! We don't need to do anything now, just stabilize the current front! Strictly order each team not to attack rashly! Just hold the current front!"
"What should we do about the Northeast? Commander Fang is under a lot of pressure! After all, hundreds of thousands of troops are trapped there, and Xianli Country is in chaos now, with fighting everywhere!"
"Same here, tell him to hold his ground and trap these bastards! Japan will be mobilizing troops soon!"
"Can they really attack Texas' mainland?" Zhao Wenyu said in disbelief.
"That's not the case. Japan is not that stubborn! But the colonies of countries like Texas in the south will definitely suffer. What a pity for our rubber!"
Xu Yan said with a long sigh.
As Xu Yan expected, at the same time as the action on Tanshan Island, Japan launched a blatant attack on the colonies of many powers in the south through the occupied areas of the Chinese mainland!
Let's talk about the situation on Tanshan Island! Their attack was launched very suddenly! The entire southern region was not prepared at all! They were caught off guard by Japan!
The original Central China Expeditionary Army mobilized almost all of its main forces to move south to participate in the attack!
The Japanese Army is determined to fight the Navy to the end!
The Japanese Marines also carried out a forced landing in Maharlika, a colony of the Republic of Texas!
Commander Masaharu Honda led his 14th Army and launched an operation against Maharlika ten hours after the operation on Honolulu Island!
As a result, in less than three hours, the Japanese Marine Corps completed the landing operation on Sanhara Island, the largest island in Maharlika!
A large number of Japanese troops landed here and quickly moved inland!
The total number of Texas troops stationed here is 20,000, but they did not conduct effective anti-landing operations!
This was far beyond Honda Masharu's expectations!
"General, the Texas are all cowards! We didn't encounter any decent resistance on the beachhead!"
Major General Hiroshige Morii of the 14th Division under the 16th Army said with a smile on his face.
"Yes! They really don't deserve to have so many occupied territories! Our Great Japanese Empire should have dealt a severe blow to them long ago! Only in this way can we achieve the ultimate goal of our Great Japanese Empire!" Lieutenant General Tsuchimoto Gao of the 48th Division echoed.
Masaharu Honda held up a telescope and looked into the distance from time to time.
Listening to the conversation between the two, he slowly said: "Gentlemen, please do not be careless! Don't underestimate the enemy! General Yamamoto once said that Dexa is a steel behemoth! We can't underestimate it! What we have to do is to defeat this behemoth with all our strength! Make sure it never wakes up!"
"Hi!"
The people around him responded loudly.
"Order the naval guns to continue bombarding Manila! I want there to be no intact house in Manila! No upright electric pole! We must completely conquer them psychologically! I want them to come out and surrender to our army on their own! Order the troops to continue advancing and fire indiscriminately!"
Honda Masaharu said loudly with a sinister smile on his face!
The famous Manila Massacre in later generations began its bloody curtain at this moment under the command of Honda Masharu!
The Japanese soldiers were like wild beasts, killing anyone they saw, burning, killing and looting along the way!
Everywhere was filled with people's shouts and screams!
The most unlucky ones are women! In the eyes of these demons, women have become the best prey!
The cruelty of war is vividly demonstrated at this moment!
Under the continuous attack, the entire city of Manila turned into ruins!
There were corpses everywhere! There were people everywhere who were too frightened and demented, and the streets were full of blood!
Such a huge city, a fairly modern city with a population of 13 million, was almost completely destroyed by continuous indiscriminate shelling!
At this time, the Japanese army was still hundreds of kilometers away!
Admiral Maxson, the commander of the Texas army stationed in Manila, was hiding in an underground fortification, feeling terrified!
"General, we need to defend outside Manila! Baguio Mountain is the only way for the Japanese army to pass, and we can't just sit there and wait for death! Sooner or later we will be blown to pieces by the warships' cannons!" suggested the Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Badan.
"No! Bataan, I will never let my soldiers go to die! We don't have the support of the navy now, and we will become sitting ducks in Baguio Mountain! I have decided that we must evacuate here! Leave this damn place!" Maxson said helplessly!
