"A large number of Chinese troops?" Tian Guci didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, and frowned and asked, "How many people are there in the Shina Army that appeared at Nanjiekou?" A company or a battalion? ”

"I'm afraid it's more than that." The communications soldier gasped and replied, "At least one regiment!" ”

"Nani?" Tian Guji's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief, "A group? ”

If there was only one company or one battalion of Chinese reinforcements at Nanjiekou, Tian Guji didn't care much, and with the strength in his hands and the 4th Squadron of the 3rd Infantry Brigade, which had not yet been engaged in battle, Tian Guji still had full confidence to win the final victory in this street battle.

However, if the Chinese reinforcements that appeared at the entrance of Nanjiekou exceeded one regiment, the situation would be troublesome.

After all, the three infantry brigades that had been put into battle were exhausted, and it was impossible to stop a regiment of Chinese reinforcements with just one 4th squadron in any case.

Especially after experiencing this tragic street battle, Tian Guci has a deeper understanding of China, the army's strong combat effectiveness, the Dameishan Independent Regiment is definitely all the China he has ever met, the strongest combat effectiveness in the army, in the face of opponents at this level, Tian Guci does not dare to take it lightly.

"Hello." The signal soldier paused and repeated, "At least one regiment, if not more." ”

"Yaga." Tian Guji gritted his teeth, turned his head and shouted, "Order, all squadrons will go on the defensive, and the 4th Infantry Squadron under the 3rd Infantry Brigade will immediately go out of Nanjiekou, and at all costs, be sure to block the Chinese's reinforcements, block them, block them, and block them for me......"

At this moment, Tataniji's hysterical roar resounded throughout the battlefield.

However, it was no longer possible for the devils to block the attack of the Chinese, and it was also the end of the strong crossbow, but the remnants of the independent regiment and the 88th Division suddenly became morale-like due to the arrival of reinforcements, while the devils suddenly turned from advantages to disadvantages, and the morale of the officers and men was suddenly discharged.

Under the rise of one after another, the balance of victory began to tilt sharply in favor of the Chinese.

In less than a moment of fierce fighting, the wolf's tooth squad that attacked from the flank took the lead in tearing open the devil's defense line, and as a point was broken through, the entire defense line of the devil collapsed in an instant, the 1st battalion of the independent regiment, the two remnant battalions of the 88th division, the 2nd and 3rd battalions of the independent regiment, the 1st battalion of the 1st regiment of the puppet army, and the ninth regiment of the four detachments, launched an overwhelming onslaught on the devils in the east of the city from seven or eight different directions.

The war is like this, the two sides that were originally evenly matched, as the balance of power is broken, it will always take a sharp turn in a short period of time, under the onslaught of the independent regiment, the ninth regiment of the four detachments, and the puppet army, the devils in the east of the city were defeated in an instant, and even worse, the city gate was blocked by a company of the four detachments, and the remnants of the devils trapped in the east of the city even lost the opportunity to break through.

In the end, Tian Guji only retreated to a compound with more than 40 remnants of soldiers, and resisted stubbornly.

The gunfire on the battlefield was still fierce, showing that there were still many remnants of the Japanese army who were resisting stubbornly, but Tatani was no longer able to get in touch with these remnants, and now, the only people he could effectively command were the more than 40 remnants around him, half of whom were signal soldiers.

At this time, Tian Guji was finally determined, and I am afraid that this battle will not be lucky.

Tatani called Second Lieutenant Ohara of the communications team to him and said miserably: "Ohara-san, please record, this will be the last farewell telegram I sent to the front headquarters." ”

Second Lieutenant Ohara took out his notebook and looked at Tatani with a miserable expression.

Tian Guji smiled miserably at Second Lieutenant Ohara and said: "Your Excellency General Junjian, after three hours of hard fighting, when our troops were about to break through the defense line of China and recover Feicheng, a large number of reinforcements from China suddenly arrived on the battlefield. The Central China Front of the Imperial Japanese Army, the Hijo Station Garrison Brigade, the captain, Tatani Ji, May of the 12th year of the Showa, the Great Japanese Empire, long live, His Majesty the Emperor, long live! ”

Second Lieutenant Ohara weptly recorded the distance, then translated it into dots and dashes according to the codebook, then turned and sat down in front of the telegram, and began to send Tataniji's farewell telegram.

After Tatani finished dictating the telegram, he took out a sweat towel from his trouser pocket, carefully wiped the saber, and then ordered the guards to open the gate of the courtyard, the courtyard gate opened, Tatani shouted "Long live the Great Japanese Empire", then held the saber, rushed out of the courtyard gate, and the next moment, dense bullets came from all directions, and in an instant, Tatani was beaten into a sieve, and Tataniji's short body trembled violently, and then slowly fell backwards.

When he was dying, Tatani looked up at the heavy rain above his head and thought gloomily, calculating the time, the cherries in his hometown of Kagoshima should almost be ripe, but unfortunately, I can't taste the cherries of my hometown in this life and this life, and I really miss the wonderful taste of my hometown cherries.

Then, a tall Chinese soldier appeared in front of Tian Guji.

Tian Gu Ciqiang refused to swallow his breath, staring at the Chinese soldier.

Then, Tian Guji watched as the Chinese soldier raised a large knife that was thicker and longer than an ordinary piece knife, and slashed it down on his neck, and then, Tian Guji felt the world spin violently, and then his consciousness completely fell into darkness.

(Dividing Line)

Sugimoto sat behind the desk, staring at the saber on the knife stand opposite, and never moved away for a quarter of an hour, but in Sugimoto's mind, all kinds of childhood and after joining the army flashed one by one like a movie, especially after the end of the Russo-Japanese War, when he returned to Japan with honor and accepted the cheers of all the people on the streets of Kyoto, the scene was extremely clear.

Without any opinion, the corners of Shanshan Yuan's mouth bloomed into a knowing smile.

At that time, he was really young, and he was so high-spirited!

Since then, his career has entered the fast lane, from the second lieutenant all the way up, and soon became the youngest non-royal major general in the history of the empire, and entered the War Department Operations Course with great ambition, since then, his military career has opened a new page.

But in the next moment, Shanshanyuan's heart was filled with boundless pain.

It's all over, thanks to that damn Xu Rui, it's all over!

Now, in order to maintain his personal decency, but also to maintain the dignity of the entire family, he seems to have only one choice left, yes, he would rather apologize than retire and return to Fukuoka to live with his puppies, Sugi Sugimoto never wants to be the second Matsui Ishine.

Wouldn't it be an honor to be the first general to have his seppuku due to defeat since the Meiji Restoration? The corners of Shanshan Yuan's mouth suddenly appeared with a hint of mockery.

Thinking of this, Shanshan Yuan got up from his seat and strode to the knife holder.

However, Shanshan Yuan did not reach out to grab the Emperor's imperial saber on the knife rack after all, not because he was afraid of death, but because it was not yet at the last moment, although Tsukada attacked and said that the battle of Feicheng was hopeless, but before the final result came out, Shanshan Yuan always retained the last trace of fantasy in his heart.

At this moment, the closed door was suddenly pushed open.

Then, Tsukada Tsukashi hurriedly walked in.

Seeing Sugi Yuan standing in front of the knife holder, staring directly at the emperor's imperial saber on the knife stand, Tsukada couldn't help but feel his heart jump, Sugi Sugimoto wants to cut his stomach?

At that moment, Tsukada hurriedly persuaded: "Your Excellency, you must not think about it, even if Feicheng is lost, the situation is far from the worst, we still have enough time to open up the Feiwu Highway, and we still have the opportunity to resume the transportation and supply lines of the northbound cluster, Your Excellency General, you must think twice." ”

Shanshan Yuan waved his hand with a lonely expression and asked, "Tsukada-san, is there any news from Feicheng?" ”

Tsukada snorted and whispered: "Yes, I just received a farewell telegram from Tatani from Feicheng, following the airport garrison brigade, the station garrison brigade and the two recruit brigades that counterattacked Feicheng from the east of the city were also collectively shattered, and the battle situation in Feicheng has completely collapsed." ”

"Got it." Shanshan Yuan's face became more and more gloomy in an instant, and then he waved his hand and said, "You go out." ”

"Your Excellency, you must not think about it, it will not come to this." Tsukada persuaded him, "There is still a response after the loss of Feicheng, and it still needs to be presided over by His Excellency the General." ”

"You and Changsang can just watch this matter, I want to be alone." Shanshan Yuan said.

Seeing that Sugimoto had already issued an eviction order, Tsukada had no choice but to leave the office with his back turned around, and then carefully closed the door of Sugimoto's office.

The door closed, and the room fell silent.

Shanshan Yuan let out a long sigh, and finally reached out to take off the emperor's imperial saber from the knife holder, stroking the chrysanthemum and star patterns engraved on the hilt, Shanshan Yuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion, when he graduated from the Army University and His Majesty the Emperor personally gave the saber, how could he have thought that this saber would become his murder weapon for self-execution?

The world is impermanent, and that's probably it, Shanshan Yuan smiled miserably, and then slowly drew his saber.

The quality of the Japanese Imperial Saber is really good, half a meter away, Shanshan Yuan can feel the chill of the forest on the blade, Shanshan Yuan holds the Imperial Saber in his hand, slowly walks into the living room behind the office, sits down on the carpet in front of the tatami mat, and then picks up the sweat towel and carefully wipes the saber.

The saber was actually very clean, and there was no trace of dust, but Shanshanyuan still wiped it carefully for a long time, until the blade of the saber could show the human face, Shanshanyuan turned the saber horizontally and rested on his knees, and then reached out to untie the white shirt on his body, exposing his abdomen.
