"Kimura-kun stays, everyone else goes out!"

These were the first words of Major General Sakai when he woke up!

After confirming that Kimura Nakasa was the only one left in the tent, Sakai continued to speak: "Kimura-kun, we have received the telegram in clear code, and the military headquarters and the front army must have also received it!" I'm sure their interrogation telegram is already on its way! ”

"We can't hide this matter now!"

"And judging from the battle situation in the city, it is impossible for us to take Lingqiu City before dawn!"

"After waking up, I carefully sorted out the whole battle process, although I didn't want to admit it, but the facts are the facts, this time we were tricked by the Eighth Route Army again, and we were fooled!"

"Although I haven't figured out where the hundreds of Eighth Route Army are hiding, I have already analyzed the operational ideas of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Our troops stationed in the city have been fighting for several days and nights, even if they have just arrived, they have marched more than 100 kilometers in a hurry, and everyone is very tired!"

"The Eighth Route Army rested yesterday for a day, and its morale is high and its physical strength is abundant!"

"Suddenly attacking us, and fighting a night battle, the warriors are exhausted, even if they fight 120,000 spirits, they can't be opponents!"

"So, the first order I give you is to withdraw all the troops in the city, and don't make any more pointless struggles and lose troops in vain!"

"The second order, to send a telegram back to the military headquarters in your name, just say that I am sorry for the Japanese Empire, and for the sake of face to force everyone to lie about their war exploits, I have already apologized at the headquarters!"

"I am alone to bear all the responsibility for lying about the military situation, making command mistakes, and making the empire lose face again!"

"Don't be soft-hearted, after I die, you must return all the responsibility to me and reduce your guilt!"

"Why?" Kimura Nakasa subconsciously asked, puzzled!

In this way, not only Sakai will suffer the wrath of the empire from years ago, but his family will also be affected!

A wry smile flashed at the corner of Sakai's mouth and replied: "This matter, no matter how the responsibility is apportioned, I, as the main responsible person, will definitely die!" ”

"In that case, it doesn't matter if you add more guilt!"

"As for my family, it's up to you!"

"I will help you bear the responsibility that belongs to you, and try to save you from punishment!"

"But I also have one condition!"

"After I die, you must use all your power to protect my family and keep them from punishment!"

Taiyuan Japanese Army Military Headquarters, the press conference ended a few hours ago!

But the celebration banquet of the military headquarters lasted until the early hours of the morning!

Back in the room, I put my arms around the two geisha, and I was just about to vent the anger I had been holding back for days!

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

A quick knock on the door interrupted his sweet dream, and the commander shouted angrily, "Bage Yalu, didn't I say don't come and disturb me if there is no emergency?" ”

The chief of staff stood at the door and reported in a hurry: "Sir, something has happened, something has happened!" ”

"The Eighth Route Army in Lingqiu City has not been wiped out by us, Lingqiu is still in the hands of the Eighth Route Army, and the front-line attacking troops have reported fake news!"

"There is also Lieutenant General Norihide Abe, who was killed by artillery fire from the Eighth Route Army when he was directing operations on the front line!"

"The Jinchaji Military Region of the Eighth Route Army is conducting a major counteroffensive, and the front-line sweeping troops have suffered heavy casualties!"

The lieutenant general couldn't sit still, kicked the two geisha away, and then got up from the bed, put on his military uniform and rushed out!

"What's going on?"

When he walked into the war room, he asked the chief of staff who was following behind him!

"The radio station has just received a telegram in clear code, the telegram is sent by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and what the humble post just reported is the content of the telegram!"

"Send me a telegram!"

The commander snatched the telegram, ten lines at a glance, and the speed of browsing was very fast!

After reading it, a face turned red, which was angered!

"Smack......

The right hand holding the telegram slapped it on the table in front of him, and exclaimed with an incredulous expression: "How is this possible? ”

"We even sent out a telegram in clear code, and even held a press conference to announce to the world the good news that the imperial army had taken Lingqiu City! If this clear telegram of the Eighth Route Army is true, isn't it a slap in the face of the imperial army, and the empire will lose face in front of the world again, and lose face! ”

"Eight Grid Tooth Road, we will never allow this to happen!"

"Otherwise, all of us will bear the wrath of the Empire!"

"Contact Sakai immediately to confirm if the contents of the telegram are true!"

"If it's true, he's going to take all the blame, and then he's going to have to find a way to remedy it!"

"That's right, it's a remedy, as long as the remaining Eighth Route Army in Lingqiu City is eliminated before dawn and Lingqiu City is completely occupied, this clear code of the Eighth Route Army will become a joke!"

"There is also the incident that Lieutenant General Norihide Abe was killed by an artillery shell, and immediately contacted the front-line sweeping troops, what are they doing to eat, why didn't they report such a big thing!"

"There is also a counteroffensive of the Eighth Route Army, contact the front-line sweeping troops to confirm whether it is true!"

"The front-line sweeping troops no longer have the advantage of strength, if the Eighth Route Army really starts a counteroffensive and has already killed thousands of us, then the remaining troops must retreat immediately, otherwise they will definitely be chased and beaten by the Eighth Route Army, with heavy casualties!"

"Hey!"

The chief of staff rushed out of the command in a hurry!

Looking at the disappearance of the chief of staff, the army commander was upset!

Pacing back and forth in the command headquarters with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed, nervous and anxious!

In less than ten minutes, the chief of staff came back with a solemn face!

The commander chuckled in his heart, and a very bad premonition appeared!

Before he could speak, the chief of staff reported with a calm face: "Sir, there is no call back from the direction of Lingqiu!" ”

"There's news from Lieutenant General Norihide Abe, he's indeed dead! was first seriously injured by a shell of the Eighth Route Army, and then died! ”

"This battle took place in the area of Loess Ridge, and the imperial army lost nearly 2,000 men! If you add the losses of reinforcements, the total casualties are more than two thousand people! ”

"Also, the Eighth Route Army is indeed very abnormal tonight, at least it rarely shows its head, and all of them came out to attack us tonight!"

"So far, we haven't encountered a brigade-sized unit being besieged, and they are all small-scale sneak attacks!"

"Because the sky is not yet dawn, the enemy and us are still killing seven times on the battlefield, and the specific losses have not yet been counted, whether there are 2,000 people in the Eighth Route Army's clear code telegram is still unknown, I don't know if this telegram is just that the Eighth Route Army wants to bluff with the help of the Loess Ridge battle to force the imperial army to retreat!"

The commander's eyes lit up, and then he fell into deep thought!

Half a minute later, he replied: "It's really possible!" ”

Just when his tense nerves were about to relax, the communications staff officer hurriedly ran in, with a solemn face!

"Sir, Lingqiu City is in an emergency!"

The commander directly bypassed the chief of staff and snatched the telegram!

After just looking at it for a few seconds, his face became gloomy, and he scolded while watching!

"Bage Yalu, this Sakai is simply a coward, he actually committed suicide in fear of sin, does he think that suicide can be exempted from punishment?"

"Delusional, the Great Japanese Empire will definitely lose face this time, and someone must be in charge to bear the wrath of the Empire! Even if he is dead, he will still have nothing less to bear! ”

After saying that, the commander also sat on the chair with his ass, twisting his brows and falling into deep thought!

At this moment, his heart seemed to have fallen into an abyss, cold and cold, as if he had seen the anger of the empire rushing towards him!

The chief of staff took the telegram and panicked after reading it!

The clear code telegram and press conference were all released and held by him!

It is certain that the current empire has once again become a laughing stock, and it has lost face!

If the above wants to hold him accountable, he and the military commander will definitely not be able to run away with joint and several responsibility!

"There has to be a way to remedy it!"

This is the only thought in the mind of the chief of staff at this moment!

Then he suggested to the commander: "Sir, we must immediately telegraph our troops in Lingqiu to launch an attack now, and completely take Lingqiu before dawn, so that this clear telegram of the Eighth Route Army will lose its basis and will not have a bad impact on the imperial army!" ”

"Then what are you waiting for, go and send a telegram right away!" The commander roared and ordered!

"We have been slapped in the face by the Eighth Route Army again and again, and this time we can't be slapped in the face by them again no matter what!"

Before the chief of staff moved, the staff officer who had just left the command headquarters rushed in again, his face even more solemn than just now!

"Sir, it's still a telegram from Lingqiu!"

The chief of staff who bumped into the communications staff officer face-to-face snatched the telegram!

After glancing at the contents of the telegram, his last hope of redress was also dashed!

A look of despair quickly appeared on his face, and he reported while handing the telegram to the commander!

"Sir, the telegram doesn't need to be sent!"

"Lingqiu City Report: After the Eighth Route Army suddenly emerged from the city, they made the decision to wipe them all out at that time!"

"However, after almost two hours of fighting, I found that I couldn't do it at all!"

"We are a tired division, the morale of the Eighth Route Army is high, and it is a night battle, and the advantages are almost all on the side of the Eighth Route Army!"

"In less than two hours of fighting, we lost more than two thousand people!"

"The remaining troops have all withdrawn from Lingqiu City, and almost all of their heavy weapons have been lost!"

"Now in addition to continuing to surround Lingqiu and trapping the garrison in Lingqiu, they don't even have the ability to attack!"

The commander sat down on the stool again as if he had lost his strength in an instant!

The last shred of hope to save the situation is shattered, which means that he will definitely bear the wrath of the Empire!

The chief of staff also looked desperate, he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the battle situation would be so bad that he didn't even give himself a chance to save it!

After being stunned for a long time, he reacted, stared at the commander and asked, "Sir, what should we do next?" ”

"What can I do?" The commander replied with a dejected face!

"Report it truthfully to the front army, and put the responsibility on Sakai, who has already been disemboweled, as much as possible! He did all this! Eight grid tooth road! ”
