Age of Rebirth

Lieutenant General Ma Chaoyang, the deputy commander of the left-wing offensive group of the independent division and the commander of the Southeast Mobile Corps, was lost. He commanded a partial division to attack more than [-] Japanese troops on the battlefield of Kyushu Island, which contained his thoughts of commanding a battlefield independently. He did it, wiped out [-] enemies on the battlefield of Kyushu Island, and won the final victory, but he also lost the opportunity to participate in the final encirclement and annihilation battle on the battlefield in the northwest of Honshu Island.

Compared with the disappearance of Ma Chaoyang, the commander of the Southeast Mobile Corps, Lieutenant General Han Tie, the commander of the Marine Corps who was in charge of attacking Shikoku Island, received a call back from his division commander before the smoke cleared from his body. Fortunately, after fighting the little devils on Shikoku Island, he can still fight the next battle.

The teacher pointed out the content of the call back, which made Han Tie very excited, and he couldn't help but laugh from ear to ear, "Commander Han Tie of the Marine Corps, I have heard all the calls. I am very relieved. After the battle of Shikoku Island, you will leave five brigades of troops. , as a security mission, responsible for clearing out the remnants of the Japanese army and maintaining local law and order, while the main force immediately crossed the Kii Waterway, landed in Wakayama on Honshu Island, and went to the peripheral areas of Tokyo to stand by!"

After receiving the order from the division commander, Han Tie did not dare to neglect, and ordered Xie He, the deputy chief of staff of the Corps, Major General Lin, to command the remaining five brigades and concurrently serve as the Shikokushima garrison commander of the Marine Corps. Cross the Kii Waterway, take Nara, Qibu and other places, and approach Kofu, and Chen Bing is on the outskirts of Tokyo.

Han Tie has no complaints about the division commander not allowing his troops to participate in the battle in the northwest of Honshu Island. In his opinion, fighting the 10,000+ little devils who have lost their energy is nowhere close to Tokyo, the home of the little devils. Fun, again.There are nearly four corps with more than 180 million troops participating in this battle.As for the little devil, there are less than 50 left.Not enough points, even if I fight with all my strength, how much can I eat in my mouth in the end?

On the sixth day of the siege, nearly a million Japanese soldiers in the encirclement of the two battlefields finally came to a dead end. The Chinese Independent Division was encircled in front and back, with no hope of reinforcements, little ammunition left, and no water or food.Everything that can be eaten is stuffed into the mouth, and countless bombs will fall from the top of the head from time to time, but such a small amount of food is enough for tens of thousands of people.

In the encirclement, a large number of wounded Japanese soldiers died every day due to lack of timely treatment, and many Japanese soldiers were thirsty and hungry due to lack of water and food.And dying, under such circumstances, Japanese soldiers lost their minds, often because of a well that had just been dug.The muddy water was still braving muddy soup, and they fought a lot, even more because of a little food.And from time to time, there was a fight between different troops.

Desperate battlefield.The Japanese soldiers were reduced to a group of beasts, but because the Japanese army's command system and commanders at all levels are there.However, there were no Japanese soldiers who surrendered to the troops of the Independent Division with leaflets distributed by the planes of the Independent Division.

Omagari, a small town on the battlefield in the northeast of Honshu Island, is now the temporary headquarters of the defense zone headquarters in the northeast of Honshu Island, Japan. A very serious military meeting is taking place in the small town, a house that has been blown down halfway going on.

The current commander, Lieutenant General Yano, is so old and emaciated that he almost lost his human shape. Food and water have been cut off two days ago, and the majestic Lieutenant General of the Imperial Army is also hungry and thirsty.

Lieutenant General Yano has the spirit of a Japanese soldier. He declared to the officers around him that he shared weal and woe with the soldiers, and he was determined not to be special. In fact, there was no food to eat in the encirclement. Two days later, coupled with huge mental pressure , this guy is skinny and emaciated.

"Gentlemen, everyone must be aware of the situation faced by the hundreds of thousands of imperial officers and soldiers in the Northeast Defense Zone, right?" Lieutenant General Yano said, his voice was hoarse and hollow, so dry that there was no water in it.

Nearly [-] major generals and above Japanese military officers who participated in the meeting all looked sad and helpless for a while. Everyone knew very well that all the pieces of jade were the final outcome. Ordinary soldiers might still have a chance to survive. In the hands of the Chinese soldiers, there was the word "death"!

"Yano's incompetence caused nearly a million soldiers of the empire to fall into desperation, and 10 of them were broken, and the rest had no hope of breaking through!" Lieutenant General Yano continued: "This is the fault of Yano alone, and I feel deeply ashamed of the Emperor and the Emperor. The Empire of Japan is ashamed of the remaining hundreds of thousands of imperial soldiers!"

"As a general of the empire, Yano felt that being a prisoner is the most shameful act, especially being a prisoner of an inferior Chinese. Therefore, I decided to cut myself open to apologize. I am determined!"

"From now on, the headquarters of the defense zone in the northeast of the Empire's Honshu Island will be disbanded, and the command of the troops will be handed over to the commanders of the various divisions. You can determine your own way, but I hope that you will not be a prisoner of the Chinese, especially those present here. Imperial generals, to maintain the last dignity of the soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Empire!"

In desperation, Yano Masaichi, the commander of the Northeast Defense Zone Headquarters of Honshu Island, Japan, committed suicide by cutting his abdomen. The senior officers who followed him to cut their stomachs, in addition to Chief of Staff Hayao Yokota, there are dozens of Japanese officers above the rank of major general .

Yano Masaichi committed suicide, which was a good start and set an example for other senior Japanese military officers. In the next day, senior officers of various divisions, independent brigades and other senior officers of the headquarters of the defense zone in the northeastern part of Honshu Island, etc. Suicide, this trend, quickly spread to middle and lower rank officers, and Japanese officers at all levels who committed suicide abound.

On the battlefield in the northwest of Honshu Island, Lieutenant General Morita Takiro, the commander of the defense zone headquarters who was also in a desperate situation, adopted another method to speed up his demise. He also held a military meeting, and the scale was still very large. Large, including officers at all levels above the rank of Colonel.

"Gentlemen, we are in a desperate situation, there is no hope of breaking through, and don't expect reinforcements to save us, this is an unchangeable reality!" It seems that Lieutenant General Morita's spirit is not bad, his eyes gleamed fiercely, and he spoke Come full of energy.

"However, as a soldier of the Empire of Japan, even if you are in a desperate situation, you must not lose your fighting spirit and Bushido spirit. Dedicating your life to His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan is the highest honor and ultimate destination for soldiers of the Empire!"

"I ordered the troops to use the wing as a unit. From now on, launch a desperate charge to the blocking position of the China Independent Division in the east. Even if all the jade is broken, it also reflects the fighting will and dignity of the imperial soldiers. Officers at all levels, Including me, we must go to the forefront and set an example for the soldiers!"

"The time has come to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and the Great Japanese Empire. Samurai, lead your soldiers and launch a final decisive charge towards the hateful Chinese. Let the blood of our imperial soldiers flow on the land of the empire, and let the blood of our imperial soldiers flow on the land of the empire. The Chinese soldiers fell under our bayonets! Let the inferior Chinese tremble before the imperial warriors!"

I have to say that the eloquence and provocative power of this old devil, Morita, are quite good. His words mobilized the emotions and spirits of nearly a thousand Japanese military officers who participated in the meeting. Shouting, each animal's blood boiled, and they put on a desperate posture.

After the Japanese officers returned to their respective units, the same military meeting was held. Then, the officers at all levels forced the soldiers who were still able to move, but they were exhausted, to form a charge formation, and the [-] guns were pressed on the bayonets. , lined up in a queue of varying lengths and lengths, and first shouted slogans, nothing more than nonsense such as being loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and dedicating oneself to the Great Japanese Empire.

In the end, hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers stood still, holding bayonet-mounted [-]-guns, like puppets, and pressed towards the position of the independent division troops.Lieutenant General Morita even set an example, brandishing a command knife with a steel gold handle, he organized the staff officers and guards of the defense area headquarters together to form a charge formation, and he walked in the front.

The abnormal movements of the Japanese soldiers in the encirclement and the howling cries of Japanese wolves had already alarmed the commanders at all levels in the forward positions. They immediately reported the situation to Tang Qiusheng. Tang Qiuli led the chief of staff, Major General Yu Guanghan, to Lieutenant General Jing Zhanqi, deputy commander of the No. 20 Ninth Corps, and Major General Wang Bingde, chief of staff, climbed to the nearest mountain to the first-line positions, overlooking the entire battlefield.

After raising his binoculars to observe for a while, Tang Qiusheng turned his head and asked Jing Zhanqi: "Zhanqi, do you see any tricks?"

"Little devil is going to do his best, old-fashioned!" Jing Zhanqi put down his binoculars, and said contemptuously: "There is another trick called Long Live Charge, which means that everyone is going to die. Regarding the cannonball, if the commander hadn’t refused to fight, the little devils in the encirclement could have survived to this day, why would there be a suicide charge? It’s just a dying struggle!”

"It's easy to get rid of the hundreds of thousands of Japanese remnants and defeated generals in the encirclement!" Tang Qiusheng said with a smile: "But the commander's intention is to capture as many prisoners as possible. If we go down with shells, isn't it against the commander's intention? These Japanese prisoners of war, the commander is of great use!"

"Have you noticed that in front of the Japanese assault formation, all the officers wielding command knives were officers. Guanghan, immediately contact Le Yiqin and ask them to send fighter jets to attack the Japanese officers. The leader was knocked out, and the rest were ordinary The Japanese soldiers, it’s easy to solve, and in addition, order the artillery to shoot accurately, and specifically look for the Japanese officers to fight, two-pronged approach!"

The roar of the fighter plane and the whistling of the shells landed precisely in front of the Japanese officer commanding the charge, causing a burst of flames. Lieutenant General Morita realized his wish. First, he was hit all over by the machine gun bullets from the fighter plane. The hole was blown up by a large-caliber shell that flew over, leaving no bones left.
