Chapter 657: The Final Battle (3)

For Fujita Jin, Han Yunhua undoubtedly gave him a difficult choice question. As a soldier, especially in the East, it is an incomparably humiliating thing to surrender to the enemy as a prisoner. There is an essential difference between the cultural values of the East and the West, in the Western world, it is normal for a soldier to surrender to the enemy in the unfavorable situation of war, but in the East, no matter how unfavorable the battle is, the real hero is the only one who persists to the last bloody battle. Surrendering to the enemy is just a sign of cowardice and is not respected by the people.

But as a commander, it is also necessary to save the lives of the fighters as much as possible in the face of unfavorable combat (5. Fastest update), that is the minimum duty. The fighting in the entire Asian region has shown a one-sided trend, and if it persists, it will only increase casualties, and there will be no more miracles, Manchuria has been lost, North China has been lost, East China has been lost, Central China has also been lost, and even Korea, which is most valued by the Japanese Empire, is about to be lost, and it is very feasible for a few provinces in South China to resist the momentum of the squadron.

The most important thing is that now that his troops have been surrounded by the Shina army, if it were someone else's troops, Fujita Shin would have ordered the troops to break through without thinking about it. But they were surrounded by Han Yunhua's department, Han Yunhua's three words haunted in the hearts of all Japanese officers and soldiers like a nightmare, from 37 years to the present, a full 7 years, this name is often accompanied by blood and killing, this general of China has reached a point of hatred for the Japanese Empire has reached a point of incomprehensibility, and no one can doubt his determination, tens of thousands of imperial soldiers in Baicheng have verified a truth with their lives, that is, this general of China will do what he says.

Now this Shina general made Fujita Jin a little overwhelmed, laid down his arms and accepted the management of the squadron, and Han Yunhua promised to leave the lives of all the prisoners. And the treatment given to prisoners of war. But if they refuse to surrender, then these hundreds of thousands of troops will be completely wiped out. Chickens and dogs are not left.

Fujita Jin knew that Han Yunhua was a man who did what he said. If the imperial army really did not surrender and resolutely resisted, then this general would definitely kill the imperial army, and no one dared to doubt this. Han Yunhua is an invincible god of war in the eyes of the Chinese, but in the eyes of the Japanese, he is a god who does all kinds of evil and kills people.

Fujita summoned all the senior staff officers of the General Staff Department and some of the commanders of the garrison divisions that were relatively close to the city of Guangzhou to discuss. In the end, more than half of the officers thought that Han Yunhua's orders should be accepted, and the troops surrendered immediately. Because now the forces of the Shina have completely surpassed the Great Japanese Empire at the strategic and tactical level. These people are just loaches trapped in the pond, and as long as the people of China are willing, as long as they pay a small price, they can completely annihilate the defenders of Guangdong. The spirit of bushido is important. However, the senior officers in the Japanese army still looked far away, and knew that the so-called bushido was nothing more than a tool for the Japanese top to control ordinary soldiers.

Ordinary soldiers can blindly send their Emperor His Majesty to death, but these high-ranking officers can see very clearly, death is equally terrible for them, since the beginning of the war, there are many Japanese soldiers who have fought bloody battles with the squadron to the end or even died together, but there are not many officers like soldiers. Especially high-ranking officers.

On the 21st, Susumu Fujita announced a telegram. Agreeing to Han Yunhua's request, the whole army immediately laid down its arms and surrendered to the squadron as soon as the telegram was issued.

The Japanese army is now a frightened bird, whether it is a soldier or an officer, one by one is afraid of the squadron, plus many years of war has exhausted the experienced veterans of the Japanese army, the 13th Army and the remnants of the 21st Army The vast majority of the soldiers are newly recruited, they are not numb to the war, and there is a sense of fear, after receiving the order of Fujita Jin, except for a few diehards of military doctrine, the vast majority of people have taken the initiative to lay down their weapons and wait for the surrender of the squadron.

The surrender of the defenders of Guangdong was undoubtedly a disaster for the Japanese army in Fujian. The Japanese army in Fujian suddenly became an annual child, and was attacked by the squadron from several aspects, and was strategically surrounded by the squadron. However, Fujian and Guangdong are not the same, Guangdong is unable to retreat, not only the 13th Army has been cut off from the back road, even the Hong Kong garrison across the river is also in danger, Han Yunhua has issued an ultimatum to the headquarters of the 25th Army stationed in Hong Kong, ordering the 25th Army to surrender immediately, otherwise the squadron will immediately cross the river and land.

Fujian is close to Taiwan, and there are more than a dozen Japanese ships moored in the port of Mawei in Fujian, including more than a dozen large troop carriers, and with the transportation volume of troop carriers, all the more than 100,000 troops in Fujian can be withdrawn in two days at most.

Taiwan was a relatively safe place for the Japanese army at this time, and the Allies did not focus their offensive on Taiwan, so the direction of Taiwan was still relatively safe. The withdrawal of troops to Taiwan will not only preserve strength, but also strengthen the strength of the Taiwan Front.

Yan Junliu has no way to deal with this erosive situation now, the squadron has become a climate under the armed forces of the United States and the Soviet Union, coupled with the tenacious will to fight and the spirit of sacrifice that Chinese is not afraid of death, China at this time is a soaring dragon, ready to devour everything.

By the end of April, except for most of Guangxi, where the rest of Chinese mainland was still in the hands of the Japanese army, all other places had been liberated, and even the squadron had occupied most of Korea, and the Japanese army had been beaten south of the 38th parallel, and a large number of Koreans had revolted, making the Japanese rule in Korea about to collapse.

On May 1, the squadron gathered in Guangxi and launched a final attack on the Japanese army. The Japanese Chinese Dispatch Army Headquarters organized troops to resist stubbornly, but in the face of the strong offensive of the squadron, the defensive effect of the Japanese army was not ideal, and soon the squadron occupied all the northern part of Guangxi, and the army continued to advance southward.

At the same time, Han Yunhua also sent troops to Hong Kong, which refused to surrender. Han Yunhua knew that now was the best time to recover Hong Kong, and if the British freed up their hands from Europe, it would inevitably cause more trouble, and no one would have an opinion on occupying Hong Kong now.

Even if the British are unwilling, it will not work, because the current Britain has no time and no strength to argue with the Chinese, and one Germany is enough to give the British a headache. Although now Hitler is also going downhill.

It will not be easy to attack Hong Kong, because what China lacks most now is a navy. The Japanese also saw this. Because Hong Kong is different from Chinese mainland, the mainland can directly parachute large forces to the rear by airborne means, and launch an attack on the enemy without its intention. But Hong Kong Island is such a small place, and there is no suitable place for airborne landing except for an airfield. That's why the Japanese are so arrogant.

Although the troops stationed in Hong Kong claim to be an army, they actually have only one infantry division and more than 10,000 troops. However, more than 10,000 people stationed on Hong Kong Island are enough, and Hong Kong's urban defense facilities are relatively perfect, mainly because there are a large number of forts on the shore of Victoria Harbour. The Japanese placed a whole reinforced artillery wing here. As long as the Chinese fleet appeared in Hong Kong, then the Japanese army was confident that the entire Chinese fleet would be sent to the bottom of the sea.

It is unrealistic to attack Hong Kong from the sea, because the squadron does not have so many naval ships, and even if there is, it may not be able to break through the fire blockade of the Japanese army, so Han Yunhua decided to take a dangerous move after thinking about it for a few days. Since there is no suitable airborne point. Then simply the army will be airborne in the city of Hong Kong.
