It is self-evident what the cessation of artillery fire on Tinian Island and Guam meant to the surviving Japanese troops on Saipan. Every day on the radio, the news of the victory of Junzhidai and Saipan Island was broadcast, but including Saipan Fuji Yoshiji and Nagumo Tadaichi no longer believe in this. The most shameful thing for Saito Yoshiji and Nagumo Tadaichi is that Obata Hideyoshi was captured in Guam. This is a very difficult result for them to accept. The guy who yelled the loudest didn't kill himself?But captured by the US military?

In the cave fortifications of Mt. Tatia, Yoshiji Saito and Nagumo Tadaichi sat face to face in despair. The capture of Hideyoshi Obata can be said to have completely crushed the last will of the Japanese army on Saipan to resist. Yoshiji Saito It never occurred to me that Hideyoshi Obata would be captured this time, because after the Chinese Expeditionary Force landed and occupied the beachhead and attacked in depth, Hideyoshi Obata had already ordered the three infantry regiments under his command to burn the regiment flag. He ordered Rear Admiral Takano's Fifth Marine Garrison and Lieutenant General Fujita's Yokosuka First Special Marine Corps kia to burn documents and military flags, and concentrate their forces to prepare for Operation Yusha. %&*";

Saito Yoshiji looked at Saito Yoshiji Nagumo Tadashi who seemed to have a dull expression: "Nagumo-kun, is the combined fleet of the Imperial Navy really defeated?"

Nagumo Chuichi took a deep breath and said: "Actually, the empire's expansion in Southeast Asia is simply unwise. The empire cannot maintain operations on three battlefields at the same time. The result is the collapse of the Chinese battlefield and the Far East battlefield. In general, as Admiral Yamamoto 56 said, we can only maintain short-term victories. The terrifying industrial strength of the United States is the biggest factor in our defeat in the Pacific Ocean. The annual shipbuilding tonnage of the Imperial Navy is less than one-seventh of the American wartime system. First, the aircraft manufacturing is even less than one-tenth of that of the Americans. The Americans train pilots for the Chinese. The first phase of training takes half a year, and each batch of at least 2000 people. In the United States, there are tens of thousands of pilots in combat. Their pilots are actually Can we take turns to rest? Our pilots can only have ten hours of training fuel indicators, and even so, they often cannot meet the flight hours. Moreover, American fighter planes are getting more and more advanced, and our zero-fight advantage has long since ceased to exist. .i^"

Although Nagumo Chuichi did not clearly say that the United Fleet suffered a disastrous defeat, Saito Yoshiji is not a fool or an idiot. He complained more about Nagumo Chuichi's complaints. In 1905, the rifles and mountain cannons were used to fight the Chinese army. If the navy hadn’t insisted on attacking Southeast Asia, why would they have given the Americans an excuse? The Japanese General Staff has always suspected that the Americans blew up their warships in the Philippines, and then found a non-excuse Declaring war on Japan as an excuse, this shameless and despicable method is an outdated trick for the Great Japanese Empire.Anti-Japanese Blood Sacrifice Mountains and Rivers 936

Saito Yoshiji sighed helplessly and said: "Then Nagumo-kun, Saipan is no longer fortified, and the existing troops are divided and surrounded at the west end and southeast of the island. I am determined to launch a jade broken attack tomorrow night. What do you think about the landing of the US troops and the amphibious land forces of the Chinese Expeditionary Force to carry out the final counterattack?"

Nanyun Zhongyi hesitated for a moment and said, "Is Saito-kun going to open his abdomen to inspire his subordinates to fight to the end?"

Saito Yoshiji hesitated for a moment and said, "What do you think Nanyun-kun, our army's current strength will not exceed 2000 combatants, and there are about 20 more lightly or severely wounded. To counterattack, the troops need to maneuver forty kilometers under the cover of night, passing through the connection gap between the No.[-] Seventh Division of the U.S. Army Infantry and the Chinese Expeditionary Army Amphibious Marine Force, so we can only let these wounded soldiers be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor."

Nan Yunzhong was slightly stunned and said: "Are you going to deal with more than 2000 lightly and seriously wounded? I'm afraid we don't have so many grenades for the wounded to commit suicide. Our navy doesn't even have many bullets. The fifth naval garrison under the command of Rear Admiral Takano The existing force is less than 500 people. Lieutenant General Fujita’s Yokosuka No. 800 Special Marine Corps has less than [-] people, with an average of less than three bullets per person. Many officers and soldiers have no weapons, such as artillery, and even bayonets. Woodcutters and bamboo knives joined the attack, and our navy really couldn't deal with the wounded."

Yoshiji Saito pondered for a moment and said: "Concentrate the wounded in the large cave in Tucker. We still have a lot of gasoline. I will choose a military police unit to carry out this task."

Nagumo Chuichi was extremely surprised: "Are you really going to burn your own people to death? They were all wounded fighting for the empire! Such a result may be unacceptable, at least there is no such precedent in the navy."

Saito Yoshiji stared and said: "Then leave them to the Chinese and Americans? When did the Chinese Expeditionary Force leave the imperial prisoners of war? Their principle has always been to kill them all. It is better for me to kill them for us now than It is much better to have their heads cut off by the Chinese and Americans. The warriors of the empire should die on the battlefield, shouting long live His Majesty the Emperor. Hideyoshi Obata, as the commander of the No.30 First Army, has been captured in disgrace. We must not follow in his footsteps, there are still our families in the empire."

Nanyun Zhongyi sighed for a long time and said: "Then follow your plan! Extraordinary times should be taken with extraordinary measures. I hope these generals will forgive our actions."

Saito Yoshiji said in a deep voice: "Nayun-kun, you and I should have a laparotomy before all the assault troops, and then execute all the wounded to motivate the counterattack troops to fight to the death. The Imperial Japanese Army would rather die than surrender."

Saito Yoshiji shouted the slogan loudly, but Nagumo Chuichi also secretly slandered, is there still a few soldiers who surrendered and were captured?Especially in Jinzhou, two divisions laid down their weapons in an organized manner. Fortunately, those bastards had a little shame and burned the infantry regiment flag to avoid the humiliation of the infantry regiment flag awarded by His Majesty the Emperor himself.

In the early morning of October 1943, 10, the only remaining 18 defenders on Saipan, Japan, which suffered heavy casualties, took advantage of the paralyzed mentality of the officers and soldiers of the US Army and the Chinese Expeditionary Force who landed, and passed through the US Army Infantry No. 20. There is a gap of [-] meters between the Seventh Division and the Chinese Expeditionary Army Amphibious Marine Force.

The Japanese army, who also knew how to buy persimmons, concentrated all their forces, regardless of the possibility of being attacked by the enemy, and launched a fierce attack on the position held by the No. 20 Seventh Division of the U.S. Infantry. With reinforcements from the 40nd Marine Division, the Japanese counterattack force, which was pinched from the front and back, was completely annihilated. Nagumo Chuichi and Saito Yoshiji, the commander of the No.[-] [-]rd Division, committed suicide by caesarean section before the offensive launched. The amphibious landing force of the Chinese Expeditionary Force commanded by Song Xilian completed the occupation of Saipan.
