What kind of death is this?

Everyone thought of the fireworks last night, which were obviously caused by those strangely shaped 'fireworks', and when everyone walked on the battlefield, the scene they saw was shocking.

There are such corpses everywhere.

Cao Kun and Wu Peifu have no other thoughts, hold on to the big tree of the East China Army in the future! If there is a conflict, it will be useless for the Beiyang Army to pull out tens of millions of troops.

"China is bound to be the world of the chairman, and we still have to perform well in the future." Wu Peifu said to Cao Kun in private.

On the battlefield, at this time, it had completely evolved to the point of receiving prisoners, and many of the soldiers were made by tear gas to the point that they had no combat effectiveness at all, and they were immediately captured by the national war troops who rushed up.

The captives were taken to concentration camps and sent to work as coolies after the war.

The tactics of the national army were quite silvery, the artillery and planes in front threw tear gas, and then killed all the way, and the resistance was absolutely extremely slight.

In the event of resistance, the chariot was hit by a cannon, and the mortar was replenished with a tear gas, and the resistance was basically gone, because the army was not equipped with gas masks.

Without gas masks, there is no ability to withstand tear gas.

At this time, the army was completely crazy, and the heavy artillery division that was hiding also opened fire.

As soon as the heavy artillery division opened fire, the national army suddenly suffered huge casualties, and the power of the heavy artillery is naturally impossible to say, and it is made in the United States.

The only fortunate thing is that the national army adopts the tactics of skirmishers, and its ability to resist artillery is strong, and as soon as the heavy artillery divisions of the army open fire, the divisions immediately began to lie on the ground.

Then he shouted over the radio - "Call for air support." ...... "Call for artillery support ......"

Soon, the bombers hovering in the sky rushed towards the heavy artillery division of the Japanese army, and these bombers had been waiting for a long time, just waiting for the heavy artillery division of the Japanese army to come forward.

The heavy artillery of the Yue army was relatively scattered, obviously drawing on the experience of previous artillery bombings, but this could not stop the bombing of the East China Air Force.

Thousands of Mosquito bombers of the East China Air Force circled over the Japanese army, looking for these heavy artillery.

After finding the heavy artillery, the Mosquito bombers swooped down, swept over the heavy artillery at an ultra-low altitude, and dropped a row of bombs.

The Mosquito bomber's low-altitude bombing ability makes the hit rate extremely high, and it is very easy to hit the target when bombing at low altitude, after all, the lower the better.

In less than five minutes after the heavy artillery fired, it was silent, killing some soldiers of the national army, but it did not achieve any tactical purpose, let alone any strategic role.

The national army that rushed across the Huangshui River began to divide the army, the first division was the east, the soldiers of the army were shrouded in tear gas, and the resistance of the soldiers was extremely low, and the national army had no suspense to divide the trenches on the eastern front of the army.

Army Group D, which was in charge of the trenches on the Eastern Front, had long since left the trenches, and as soon as the large forces arrived, they immediately joined the encirclement and annihilation.

In this regard, all the five group armies of the East China Army were assembled, plus the Sichuan Army and the Beiyang Army, and the total strength of the front line reached 680,000 men, which had already suppressed the Yue Army in terms of numbers.

The army was originally estimated to have nearly 600,000 people, but after a night of barbecue, there were heavy casualties, and from the point of view of Xia Jun's points, at least 200,000 were killed by white phosphorus bombs and incendiary bombs, so the army now has a maximum of 400,000 left.

Under the blow of tear gas, rows of soldiers were pulled out of the trenches and became one of the prisoners without any suspense.

Tear gas canisters are thrown out first, then the chariots take the lead, and the infantry follows. This tactic has been tried and tested against the army without gas masks.

The strength of the national army itself is more than that of the army, and it is 1.5:1, and after the division and encirclement, the strength of the national army and the army usually rises to more than 5:1, and even 10:1 in some parts is possible.

It's like a piece of cheese that gets nibbled off bite by bite.

Once exposed to the wilderness, the Japanese army will be completely pressed and beaten by the bombers and bombers roaring from the sky, as well as the artillery shells called by the air force.

What trenches are floating clouds!

A morning of fierce fighting, well! It can barely be regarded as a 'fierce battle', and the Eastern Front Army was beaten from beginning to end by the National War Army and directly hit the mountainous area southwest of Penglai.

Army D completely withdrew, and then the troops hastily ate some canned food, and then waved their division to the west to carry out a thorough purge of the remaining army.

Uchiyama Kojiro also wanted to break through, but he just thought about it, the Shandong army was basically unable to move an inch, and when the national army formed a siege against the western army, the gap in strength had risen by 2:1.

"After beating the devil, go home for the Spring Festival!"

The soldiers of the national war army shouted this slogan, and their morale was extremely high, this war was no different from a tailwind battle, the only difference was that it was the strong strength gap that turned into a tailwind battle.

It is said that the army has been completely suppressed in terms of sea, land, and air, and that it is completely backward behind China in terms of equipment and operational thinking, and that it is basically delusional to be undefeated.

On the battlefield where artillery is flying everywhere, the artillery fire is all from the national army, and on the battlefield where the bullets are raining down, the bullet rain is basically all from the national army.

As soon as the army's firepower point was fired, it would not take long for it to attract all kinds of blows until it was dumbfounded.

When the national army approached, tear gas grenades followed, and more than 300,000 Japanese troops in the encirclement were so suppressed by the strong firepower that they could not raise their heads, and they were even unable to fight back by tear gas.

Uchiyama Kojiro was in the general headquarters, knowing that the general trend was gone, knelt on the ground, facing the direction of Dongfang Yumoto, drew his saber, and aimed it at the belly.

But for a long time, he didn't stab down.

Uchiyama Kojiro was struggling in his heart, as the fourth chief graduate of the Army, he was deeply favored by the emperor, and at this time he had to apologize with death as an example.

However, what makes Uchiyama Kojiro struggle is that he has never believed that it was his command that caused the war to fail, which should not have been a crime that he should have been burdened.

The defeat was not his fault, but the fault of the War Ministers, or the Navy Ministers, who insisted on fighting this war in which there was no way out, and the result of their extreme self-confidence and excessive arrogance.

If he dies, he is a scapegoat.

If he may, perhaps, be able to argue for himself.

On the one hand, he wanted to muster the courage to give himself a sword, show the glorious spirit of bushido, and take all the charges on his body.

However, on the other hand, he is also scared and hesitant, who can not frown and stab his stomach? And Kojiro Uchiyama feels innocent.

This defeat is not his fault!

"Commander, do you want me to do it for you?" The adjutant on the side, Takeda Daisho, saw that Uchiyama Kojiro had not made a move, and couldn't help but say to him out loud.

Many samurai did not have the courage to commit suicide, and would often seek out a knife for them.

Uchiyama Kojiro stared at Takeda Daisho for a while, put down the knife, and said to Takeda Daisho, "No, I can." You'd better come first! ”

"Hello!" Takeda Daxiang nodded heavily, pulled out his snow-bright sword, and knelt down facing east.

Then wrap the white towel around the knife, grasp the part of the white towel with both hands, and aim the blade at the stomach, and the whole process Takeda Daisho looks solemn.

Gritting his teeth, Takeda Daisho held the sword in both hands and thrust it down, directly into the abdomen.

"Yikes!" With a loud shout, Takeda Daxiang crossed his hands, cut horizontally with the sword, his eyes were round, his gaze gradually lost focus, and then his whole head hung down weakly, but Takeda Daxiang's body did not fall.

The standard of Takeda Daisho's seppuku technique, and the highest level of seppuku without falling, can be included in the classic textbook of seppuku.

"Bang Bang!" Uchiyama Kojiro on the side couldn't help but applaud, stretched out his hands and applauded gently.

However, after the applause, Uchiyama Kojiro put the sword away like a scabbard, admitting that he did not have the courage of Takeda Daisho.

He didn't have the courage to let others intervene, and he didn't have the courage to be a scapegoat.

"I'm such a coward." Uchiyama Kojiro stood up and muttered, but Banxiang continued, "But I'm also a warrior." ”

He can not be afraid of the opinion of his own people, he can defend himself loudly after the speech, and he can also add an assessment that he does not want to make senseless bloodshed and sacrifice of wise decisions.

While he may be infamous temporarily, he won't allow himself to be infamous forever.

When the other personnel of the headquarters re-entered the headquarters, they saw the pool of blood still flowing on the ground, and when the deputy commander Takeda Daisho had already cut his stomach, he did not feel too surprised, the only surprise was that Uchiyama Kojiro looked like he was going to cut his abdomen before, but he did not cut his abdomen.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't think it's our responsibility to say that the Imperial Army has been defeated, because we have done our best, what do you say?" Uchiyama Kojiro asked the high-ranking personnel of the Shandong Army in the headquarters.

"This is a war that was doomed from the start." The Chief of Staff spoke, and then fell silent, but he made his attitude clear.

Soon, there was a lot of accusations against the Minister of Army and Navy and the Führer's Cabinet in the General Staff, and Uchiyama Kojiro saw that the momentum was almost over, so he said: "Now that we have completely failed, if the war continues, our Imperial Army will pay more bloodshed and sacrifices, and in the end there will be no effect." The wisest option now is to surrender, which will still preserve some strength for the Empire, and perhaps the Empire will try to get our soldiers home. ”

"Hello!"

"Hello!"

"Hello!"

One by one, Haiyi passed, and those who didn't want to Hai were also Haiyi, and everyone understood what Uchiyama Kojiro was thinking at this time, and it could be seen from his abandonment of seppuku that he was a pseudo-bushido believer, and he was scared.
