Just when the news came out, which shocked Yucheng and shocked all those who learned about it, leading to surprises, at this moment in the Changsha Theater, the people who encircled and suppressed the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army had also cleaned up the battlefield and dealt with the aftermath, and began to move towards the northern Hunan region, intending to encircle and suppress the remaining two divisions of the Japanese army with other participating troops.

That is, the 6th Division plus the 101st Division.

At this time, these two troops have fallen into the heavy encirclement of the army because of heavy losses, and it is conceivable that when all the troops gather together, it will be even more difficult for the little devil to escape.

At that time, it will be impossible to escape even if it is really heaven and earth!

At the same time when all the troops were converging towards the northern Hunan region, the pre-war headquarters of the Central China Front of the Japanese army on the Xianning side was gloomy.

Commander Okamura Ninji had already received the news that the 33rd Division had been completely annihilated.

When he got the news, Okamura Ninji was speechless in the command headquarters for a long time, although he was not angry, but these Japanese staff officers in the command headquarters did not dare to gasp, because anyone could see that Okamura Ninji at this time definitely contained infinite anger in his heart.

No one wants to provoke him at this time, lest he be used as a channel for venting by the commander, in case he is implicated, he really doesn't even know how to die.

Inside the headquarters, Okamura Ninji sat alone in a chair, looking at the message in front of him, his face gloomy.

He sat there alone, covered with a dangerous aura, the whole person looked like a fierce beast that was about to choose people to devour, the staff officers next to him were cautious, no one dared to approach, no one dared to talk to him, no matter what he did, he was cautious, for fear of touching his brows.

These staff officers didn't even dare to take a breath, and even if a phone rang, they answered it as soon as possible, and then spoke in a low voice, not daring to announce it loudly.

However, even so, it didn't take long for these staff officers to be sweating profusely, their foreheads covered with sweat, and their backs soaked with sweat.

This is because the atmosphere in the command is too oppressive!

They want to leave here, but they don't dare to leave at all, so they can only bear this pressure here silently.

And in such a situation, Okamura Ninji suddenly stood up, and his movement immediately startled all the staff officers, and even his body trembled unconsciously.

Just when everyone was terrified, Okamura Ninji didn't pay attention to them, but walked outside the headquarters alone, looking at the sky, with a worried look on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.

His mood was very complicated.

There is anger, helplessness, unwillingness, and depression......

All kinds of emotions are intertwined, on his face, in his eyes - it is really hard to imagine that such complex emotions can be so perfectly expressed on the same face, which has to make people feel a little surprised and ...... Shudder.

Okamura Ninji was thinking about something.

He was thinking about the next development of the Battle of Changsha and the future fate of their empire, and more precisely, the future fate of their Central China Front.

Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that the fate of their Central China Front is really very bad, and to put it mildly, they have almost reached the brink of danger.

He Okamura Ninji is more like walking on the edge of a cliff, and if he is not careful, he may fall into the abyss and be smashed to pieces.

If you keep going, the road ahead will be narrower, steeper, more difficult, and easier to fall into the abyss, but if you go back, although the path is a little wider, it will be just as difficult.

But at least there's room to turn around.

It stands to reason that in such a situation, as long as a smart person should know to retreat, Okamura Ninji is also a smart person, and he is still a very smart and smart person, it stands to reason that he should be able to judge the situation, but ...... He's not reconciled!

Continue to move forward, nine times out of ten you will fall into the cliff, even if you are lucky to get to the highest peak, but chasing the highest peak in front of you will be five ways, which is also a dead end.

He was not willing to climb the peak, but he did not know when he gradually took the wrong path, from a wide straight road to a fork in the road, to this peak.

This was not what he wanted.

But there is no way back!

The retreat had been cut off, and there was no choice, so he could only stubbornly continue to move forward, even if he knew that there was a dead end ahead.

But he was still unwilling!

He was wondering, why did he and his Central China Front get to where they are today?

Why the hell is that?!

He couldn't figure it out, he couldn't figure it out even after thinking about it.

Why did the Battle of Changsha come to this point, and what is the reason? Could it be that my own command was wrong? Could it be that the warriors of the empire do not need to die?

No, it's neither!

But why?

He couldn't figure it out.

He stood alone in front, and behind him was a group of staff officers looking at him worriedly.

Looking at his own commander looking up at the sky alone, even if he couldn't see Okamura Ninji's face, he could see a trace of loneliness and loneliness from his back.

"Your Excellency, Commander...... I guess I was under a lot of pressure! ”

"This battle is not the responsibility of His Excellency the Commander at all!"

"Your Excellency Commander, that's right, it's this world that's wrong!"

The staff officers thought so.

Just as they were thinking like this, they saw Okamura Ninji suddenly turn his head, looked at this large area of staff officers, and suddenly showed a smile on his face, and then said: "Gentlemen, tell me, what is the reason for this battle to end so far? ”

"I really can't figure it out!"

Hearing this, the staff officers were stunned at first, but then they saw the sadness in Okamura Ningji's eyes, and at that moment, countless staff officers were palpitating in their hearts, and a touch of discomfort emerged.

"Your Excellency, Commander, it's not your fault in this battle!"

"You don't have to blame yourself so much!"

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander, this battle is not because of your fault!"

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, the responsibility for this battle ......"

"You don't have to say it!" Okamura Ningji interrupted them with a wave of his hand, shook his head and said, "I know what you mean, I did wonder if it was my fault just now, but in the end I figured it out...... I'm not wrong, none of us are wrong......"

"But precisely because we didn't make a mistake, it was our biggest mistake!"
