Section VII Lightning VII
, Standing on the towering city tower under the yellow glazed tiles, looking at the short figure on the side of the Xinshui Bridge, even the most modest people have the feeling of dominating the world, but Okamura Ninji does not have it now, he is a little bored Standing on the city tower, Tokunaga accompanies him, since last night, .qะ5, C0m/
The distant setting sun erased the last shred of brightness, and the clouds on the horizon were dyed red, like blood that was about to dry up. The Forbidden City at night, the yellow covering the palace wall, lost its bright color, and the undulating palace was covered with a layer of mystery.
In the face of this mystery, both Okamura and Tokunaga had mocked him unscrupulously, mocked his hugeness, mocked his luxury, and mocked his ignorance, but now they had an inexplicable emotion in their hearts, a kind of admiration, fear, helplessness, bitterness, mixed and intertwined emotions.
Vermilion palace walls, yellow glazed tiles, layer by layer, wrap this palace city, but also wrap these hundreds of years of power and history, for hundreds of years, it is this palace city that has ruled this huge empire.
"Our friends in the world are short. Okamura suddenly said without a head, Tokunaga was a little confused, he looked at Okamura Ninji heartheartedly, Okamura Ninji's eyes looked blankly at Miyagi in the haze.
Tokunaga didn't know what to do, the battle of Tianjin was going on, the squadron was attacking fiercely, and Isamu Yokoyama recounted the battle every half hour, so they were very clear about the progress of the battle in Tianjin.
Half an hour ago, Yokoyama Yong reported incense, the defense of Beicheng was almost disintegrated, the entire front had been completely disrupted, the Ninth Division and the 110th Division had been copied by friends, and the commander of the 110th Division, Yoshitaro Hayashi, led the division headquarters to stick to the Xinkaihe Station, "The commander of the Ninth Division, Yuan Shou, led the division headquarters to stick to the Lion Forest Street.
After the 59th Army's 53rd Division broke through from the flank of the 110th Division, it "went straight to the Haihe River, then turned eastward, and attacked the 16th Mixed Brigade from the flank, causing great confusion among the 16th Mixed Brigade.
The Second Group Army of the Chinese Army, which had entered from the east of the city, was cleaning up the remnants of the Eighth Mixed Brigade along the streets, and the 16th Mixed Brigade had lost the ability to fight back, and the two brigades transferred from the north of the city were intercepted by the 68th Army and could not get close.
Tianjin was broken on all sides, and the Chinese hand team in the south of the city also entered the city, occupied the area south of the Fuxing River, and was attacking the defense of the Fuxing River.
Okamura listened carefully to each account, but did not give any opinions, not even a single step into the war room. @ๆฌ็ซ ่ๅญค็ฌๆๆ@ๅๆๅฎๆฌก็่ฟไธชๆๅบฆ่ฎฉไฝๆ้กพ้ฎไปฌ็ฆ่ไธๅฎ "I don't know what he had in mind. But they didn't dare to go directly to Okamura Ninji, so they had to ask Tokunaga to inquire, but they didn't get any tools.
There is no gunfire of the fierce battle here, and there is no bloody brutality, and the township soldiers and gendarmerie patrol the city.
It has been more than a month since the siege, and the food stocks of the residents of the city have been almost exhausted, and some citizens have run out of food, and they have begun to look around for food, but it is clear that they cannot find anything. Most of the grain in the city was looted by the occupying forces, and the rest was hidden by the grain store, which was "empty."
Several young officers stood in front of Okamura Ninji's car, and when they saw Okamura Ninji coming, they exchanged glances with each other, and the young man led by him finally mustered up the courage to meet him.
"Commander, I have a suggestion."
Okamura Ningji nodded slightly at Shaozuo carelessly, signaling him to go on, but he didn't stop at his feet, walked to the front of the car and opened the door, Shaozuo hurriedly shouted: "I think that we should break through immediately when the Chinese army is attacking Tianjin." โ
Tokunaga shook his head slightly, this plan has already been mentioned again, both Da Forced Tongzhen and Yamauchi Masafumi have mentioned it, but even they don't have much confidence in themselves.
Before Okamura could speak, a motorcycle came from Miyagi, and as soon as the car stopped, an officer jumped out of the car and ran in front of Okamura Ninji in a few steps.
"Narrate, Tianjin, Commander Isamu Yokoyama called," the adviser took out the telegram and read: "The north of the city has fallen, the commander of the 110th Division, Yoshitaro Hayashi, has lost contact, the commander of the 8th Mixed Brigade has lost contact, the 16th Mixed Brigade has been copied by friends, and the two parts of the Chinese Army are approaching Wanguo Bridge. โ
The advisor looked up at Okamura Ninji here, and when he saw that Okamura Ninji had no face, he continued to read: "The Ministry has done its best, but the army of Ranshi is not what it used to be, and the artillery fire is extremely fierce, which has never been seen before by the Ministry of Staff, and if there is no Amaterasu God to protect it, Tianjin will be lost within 24 hours." โ
After listening to this, Okamura Ninji just glanced at a few young officers coldly, and without saying anything, he boarded the car. Several officers were dumbfounded, and Deyong sighed: "In addition to the 300,000 Zhina Army of the three group armies that outflanked us, General Zhina has at least four armies in the Tongzhou area, including the elite expeditionary force. Alas, the general of China is the most eager for us to break through. โ
Watching the car leave, the officers were at a loss, Tokunaga's words showed that Shiraoka Village Ninji knew the situation very well, there were more than 60,000 people in Tianjin, and Yokoyama Yong announced that the defenders would be lost in the next twenty-four when the Chinese began to attack only fourteen, and how long could these more than 40,000 people in Beiping get out of this Beiping city? Forty hours? Or fifty
Time?
The car smoothly moved towards Zhongnanhai, Okamura Ningji was silent along the way, when the car stopped, Tokunaga pushed the car door, but Okamura Ningji always sat on the seat and did not move, Tokunaga couldn't help but remind, but Okamura Ningji still did not move, and after a while, Okamura Ningji got out of the car.
After returning to the room, Tokunaga was about to leave, but Okamura stopped him, and after lingering for a while, Okamura Ninji looked up at him: "Tokunaga-kun, is it easy for a samurai to sacrifice his life, or is it easy to sacrifice his reputation and bear the burden of humiliation?" โ
"Of course, it is a burden of humiliation." Tokunaga didn't hesitate at all, he knew that Okamura Ninji was finally going to make a decision after a few days of hesitation.
Okamura Ninji put his hands in his ku-bag, and his tone was heavy and painful: "The people of Shina say that they have a history of 5,000 years, and the recorded history should be more than 2,000 years, but our Great Japanese Empire also has a history of more than 2,000 years, and in two thousand years, the Yamato nation has flocked to countless great samurai, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokushi-11 Ieyasu, they all rose from setbacks, the black ship opened the country, and the Yamato nation signed a humiliating treaty, but we took this opportunity to start the road to the strength of the Yamato nation.
, "In this war, the defeat of the empire is inevitable" The flesh on Okamura's cheeks trembled slightly, Tokunaga was a little sad, Okamura looked at the palace wall, and walked to the table with a teacup and drank it halfway. Shui, then turned to face Tokunaga: "General Shina is right, as long as we preserve our history, there will be a time for the Yamato nation to rejuvenate in the future." โ
"What does the commander mean?" Although he had already guessed Okamura Ninji's decision, Tokunaga couldn't help but be a little shocked, there was no precedent in the history of the Japanese army for the surrender of a formed army, and now Okamura was going to take this first.
"I decided, negotiate with General China, preserve the culture of the Yamato nation, and preserve these 40,000 soldiers. Okamura Ninji was in great pain: "Tokunaga-kun, I'll bring in General Osako and General Yamauchi later, and tell them about my decision."
That night, Osako and Yamauchi Masafumi rushed to Zhongnanhai separately, and Okamura Ninji told them about the battle situation in Tianjin and his decision, to Tokunaga's surprise, Osako Tosada and Yamauchi Masafumi did not jump up to veto, but just sat there in a daze, without saying a word.
, "Osako-kun, Yamauchi-kun, I know that this decision is not in line with the spirit of the imperial samurai. Okamura Ningji looked at the two of them heavily and calmly: "However, this is my decision, I hope you can ensure the stability of the army, can you do it?" โ
The two of them still didn't answer, and after a long time, Osako Tongzhen looked up at Okamura Ninji and asked, "Commander, is there no other way?" โ
Okamura Ninji shook his head bitterly, and Tokunaga interjected: "These days, the commander has been thinking about the example, the Chinese army is strong, and the Chinese army that outflanks us will have the thirty-first group army, the twenty-second group army, the twenty-fourth group army, in addition, there are four more armies in Tongzhou, in addition, it is estimated that there will be one or more group armies in the Tangshan area. โ
Tokunaga's words made the meeting even more silent, and Yamauchi sighed heavily, in fact, these situations were clear to both Daqiu and Yamauchi, both of them had proposed a breakthrough plan, but even they themselves did not believe that they could rush to Shanhaiguan or Tanggu.
"The Chinese have built a large number of airfields in Shandong, and they are about to bomb the mainland, Tokyo is bound to become the focus of their bombing, and the peace of His Majesty will be threatened. Okamura Ninji's mood began to stabilize, and he looked at Tsusada Osako and Masafumi Yamauchi majestically.
The sound of the plane's thoughts was dry and regular to the cabin, the cabin was always silent, the huge fleet swept over the mountains on both sides of the Great Wall, flying to the east, Song Yunfei sat at the cabin door, the cabin door was open, and the wind was whistling inward.
For this operation, the North China Theater gathered more than 90 transport planes, for these 90 transport planes, Zhuang Jihua almost fought with Chen Cheng again, and finally Stilwell stabbed Wei Demaier through his channel, Wei Demaier listened to the details, and immediately asked to list the needs of this operation as the highest priority, so that in the shortest possible time, all the materials needed for the operation were assembled.
The planes are connected in a neat formation, and looking out from the cabin door, you can clearly see another C47 not far away, and the navigation lights are flashing under the belly.
The air in the cabin is very good, the wind blowing in the smell of engine oil blows away, there is a fresh smell of the sea, the weather is very good today, the night sky is full of stars, like jewels dotted on the black curtain.
"Toot toot! Doodle! Doodle! The red light flashed and the alarm sounded, Song Yun stood up in high spirits, turned to face the cabin and shouted, "Everyone stand up and check the equipment!" โ@
