The terrible sirens sounded on the streets of Tokyo, and the workers who were working put down their work and ran to the bomb shelters or basements, while the housewives turned off the fire, turned off the power, and then hurriedly left the house, hiding in the nearby air defense facilities, the volunteers with white armbands on the streets nervously greeted the citizens, the fire trucks rushed through the streets with bells, and there were more than a dozen thick water tanks in each alley, which were filled with water, and there were long water pipes next to the water tanks, which were now pulled open and connected to the water pipes. //。 ǒm/

The majestic palace outside the vast field, but not affected by the air defense play, the originally neat lawn is now overturned, planted with vegetables and potatoes, several women are working in the field, occasionally in awe glance at the palace close at hand, this mysterious and majestic building, and quickly bow their heads.

An officer led eight soldiers to the palace gate, the soldiers of the Guards Division changed the guard again, the palace gate opened, several cars came out of it, and the soldiers saluted the cars neatly.

Cars are a rarity in Tokyo today, and it is difficult for even managers of large companies to have cars, and only high-ranking military officials can enjoy the speed and scenery of cars.

Today's imperial meeting is extremely dull, the much-publicized decisive battle of Pingjin has completely fallen into passivity, the front of the North China Dispatch Army has been fully penetrated by the [Central] ** team, but the Kwantung Army, which Ishihara Waner has placed high hopes on, is still on the road.

Emperor Hirohito was worried, and repeatedly asked if there was a way to save the war situation in North China, but whether it was Koiso Kuniaki or Yan Junroku, Ishihara Waner could only bow his head in shame and be silent, Ishihara Waner insisted on withdrawing troops from Jiangnan, withdrawing troops from Mongolia and gathering troops to the Shanhaiguan area, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of War opposed again, and quarreled at the Imperial Meeting; Subsequently, the Navy also joined in, and the Ruihe aircraft carrier suffered heavy losses in the Bohai Bay, and the Navy was furious, and strongly accused the base camp of blind command. Ishihara ridiculed the war, saying that it was precisely because the navy had taken up a lot of resources that the army had been weakened, that tanks had not been able to be replaced, and that the army had always been short of aircraft, resulting in one defeat after another.

Seeing the ministers below arguing and Hirohito was furious, everyone quieted down, and Ishihara was desperate and offered to resign to Hirohito on the spot.

"Since the minister took office, he has done nothing, and the minister occupies his position, but the corpse is helpless for the country and the people for the bottom, and the minister asks to resign from the post of chief of staff."

This is unprecedented, in the past, only the Minister General resigned to the Emperor, and the rest of the ministers resigned to the Minister General, but today, Ishihara was saddened and resigned directly to Emperor Hirohito. Hirohito's face was gloomy, staring at Ishihara deadly, and he sighed for a long time: "Aiqing and the Minister of the Prime Minister will abandon the discussion, the state affairs are in danger, and I hope that the ministers will work together to tide over the crisis." ”

Hirohito's tone obviously contained dissatisfaction with Ishihara Waner, but Ishihara Waner really couldn't help the war situation in China, the United States and Britain in Nanyang, and Soviet Russia were all preparing for a counteroffensive, and the decisive battle in North China had actually decided the fate of the empire, and if this battle failed, the empire would no longer be able to turn the situation back.

The car sped down the empty streets of Tokyo, lined with neat houses and clean streets, and in previous years, there must have been a lot of beautiful little parasols on the streets, but now the women on the streets have vegetables on their faces, and most of the children are malnourished.

"Ishihara-kun, you were too reckless today." : Kuniaki Buiso is very dissatisfied with Ishihara's actions today, which is tantamount to roasting him on the fire.

Ishihara didn't answer, but continued to look greedily at the street scenes on both sides, and Koiso Kuniaki's heart softened and said: "Ishihara-kun, don't say it again in the future if you resign, as long as the Kwantung Army arrives in eastern Hebei, you can save the situation in North China." ”

"Prime Minister, I'll hand you my resignation report when I get back." Ishihara's eyes were still staring out the window: "I want to take a picture of all these situations, and in a few months, I'm afraid all this will not exist." ”

Koiso Kuniaki smiled bitterly, and Ishihara was reminding him that the people of China were rushing to build airports in Shandong, and these airports would be completed in six months to eight months, and at that time, the China planes would be able to visit Japan, and Tokyo would become their first target.

Ishihara had already made up his mind to go, and Koiso Kuniaki said again and again that Ishihara had made a condition to withdraw his troops from Jiangnan and negotiate peace with Soviet Russia and China, even if the people of China demanded the return of Manchuria, they could agree.

This is a complete retreat, giving up all the benefits gained since the September 18 Incident, and even some of the benefits since the Sino-Japanese War, so to speak, to seek peace at any cost. Koiso Kuniaki didn't even think about it, this proposal would not have been approved by the cabinet at all, let alone Manchuria, even if it was difficult to withdraw troops from Jiangnan.

The situation in Pingjin continued to deteriorate, Ishihara Waner handed over his resignation report after returning to the base camp, no one kept him, and after Koiso Kunitaki and the military discussed, Koiso Kuniaki came forward to retain Ishihara Waner, hoping that he could continue to command and leave his post after the Battle of Pingjin.

"Ishihara-kun, the Battle of Pingjin is at a critical moment, and this resignation is irresponsible to the front-line soldiers." Koiso Kuniaki sighed: "When the time comes, we may have to go together." ”

Koiso Kuniaki's position was already shaky, Emperor Hirohito was dissatisfied with his inability to save the war, and the army was even more dissatisfied with his weakness, and if the Battle of Heijin was won, it could be maintained for a while: if it failed, all contradictions would erupt, and Koiso Kuniaki would have to resign.

Ishihara was very bitter in his heart, he knew that it was difficult for him to resign, although the Battle of Pingjin was not his strategy, but now who is willing to come out and carry this black cauldron, they want Ishihara to fail. Discredited this alternative in the Army.

Ishihara finally agreed, but what if he agreed? There was no other way, Ishihara could only pin all his hopes on Okamura Ninji and Umezu Mijiro, and even if he failed, he hoped to keep more troops.

The signs of failure in the Battle of Pingjin have been very obvious, the second day of the Imperial Meeting, news came from Beiping, the first team surrounded Beiping, the chief of staff of the North China Dispatch Army, Oshido Sanji led the dispatch army headquarters to retreat to Tangshan, but Okamura Ningji unexpectedly stayed in Beiping, and there are now two lonely cities left in the Pingjin area, Beiping and Tianjin.

In Beiping and Tianjin, the first team took a completely different approach. In Beiping, the ** team was only surrounded by "no sign of an attack; Tianjin, on the other hand, is different, and the "Middle" team is constantly attacking, narrowing the encirclement from all sides.

Further north, the 49th Group Army on the Pingzhang Line of Changping Huairou conquered Pingzhang, and attacked Yanqing with the 51st Group Army, Maruyama and Nakajima led their troops to retreat to the east of Hebei, and Gu Shoufu met by the river, and the two joined forces and fled to the east of Hebei.

After a few days of fighting, the Beli people cleaned up the perimeter of Zhuolu, and the heavy artillery and tank units that were going north along the road also arrived at Zhuolu at this time. With heavy artillery, Sun Liren's offensive became more violent, and the New First Army and the New Sixth Army rushed into Zhuolu City from the east and west, and after two days of fierce fighting, the defenders were completely annihilated and 10,000 divisions.

In the past two days, Yoshiki Sadachi led his troops to launch an attack on Wanquan, Yoshiki Sadachi did not simply attack, but to, the old division and regiment attacked the "main force" in the front, but the old division made a detour through Fanghuling, suddenly appeared on the flank of the 35th Army, and then launched a strong attack, the 35th Army was caught off guard, and was killed by Yoshiki Sadachi to open a bloody road "Peng." In a hurry, Fu Zuoyi was strictly ordered to plug the gap, and Fu Zuoyi hurriedly transferred the reserve force to the 3rd Army to plug the gap.

Fu Zuoyi is the deputy commander of the Eighth Theater, the Eighth Theater is a strange theater, Zhu Shaoliang, the commander of the theater, has no real power, and the real power is in the hands of the deputy commander below" Hu Zongnan, deputy commander of the theater, Fu Zuoyi. Hu Zongnan's troops were mainly in Shaanxi, and they controlled two group armies and two other armies: Fu Zuoyi had only one 35th Army in name in the Hetao area, "but in recent years, Fu Zuoyi had expanded his troops to three armies, two independent divisions, and four independent cavalry brigades.

Out of the fortress, interspersed with Zhangbei, Fu Zuoyi concentrated the 35th Army, the 3rd Provisional Army, the 11th Independent Cavalry Brigade, and the 12th Independent Cavalry Brigade; The Fourth Army was temporarily formed, and remained in the front to pretend to be the 35th Army.

After conquering the invincible, Peng. Huai adjusted the deployment and ordered Fu Zuoyi to block Yoshiki Sadachi, and Lin B led the Xin, and the army to seize the wild wolf ditch and join the encirclement and annihilation of the mortar division and the prisoner division.

Dong Qiwu led the provisional Third Army to seize Gufengling in the northeast of Wanquan, with the provisional 11th Division in the front, the provisional 17th Division on the flank, and the 3rd Cavalry Division in a roundabout flank, and the two sides fought on the Gufeng Ridge line. In the fierce battle, Fu Zuoyi ordered Guo Jingyun to lead the ,,, division back to Zhangbei and rush over from the Na Lenggou in the southeast of Gufengling.

Yoshiki Sadachi noticed that after the increase in troops again, he showed his killer copper, Yoshiki Sadachi, the old division and the old division Araki Wing formed the Hoshino Detachment, and stole across the Yanghe River "from the south of Wanquan to kill the past, the division and the prisoner division in the encirclement concentrated the last strength and launched an assault, the new army was caught off guard, and was rushed open a gap by the Japanese army.

Peng. Huai De was furious and ordered Lin B to plug the gap, ordered the 86th Army and the 94th Army to strengthen the attack, and at the same time put the 6th Army of the Jin Army into battle.

Around this gap, the two sides launched a tenacious and brutal offensive battle.

The Japanese soldiers understood that they had no way out but to fight to the death; The officers and men of the Eighth Route Army resolutely rushed up, sealed the gap, and annihilated the Japanese army in the mountains of northern Cyprus.

On both sides of the enemy, we attack resolutely and defend tenaciously. The barren hills soon turned into black soil, so bloody that even the winds from the south could not blow it away.

The loud military horn sounded again, and a large area of gray military uniforms under the military flag climbed up the hill, covering half of the mountainside, the Japanese troops on the hill did not shoot, the Japanese army's ammunition was running out, and on the other side of the hill, the troops were running quickly towards the quilt.

The sound of horses' hooves shattered, and a group of cavalry rushed out of the ravine, the red circle was a little tattered, and in the sun, the sword was shining, and the cavalry quickly rushed through the open field, blocking the waist and cutting off the crowd of people who were attacking.

"Order the strikers not to stop, keep attacking!" Lin B's expression remained unchanged, and in the telescope, the Japanese cavalry was imposing, but he had already seen that this group of cavalry was only more than 100 people, and it must be the remnants of the Japanese cavalry in the encirclement, but there were only 100 people, and this strength could not shake his offensive.

"Order He Byan, the cavalry regiment will attack!" Lin B then gave another order.

Following his order, a group of cavalry rushed out of the recess on this side and killed the Japanese army. Lin B no longer cares about the battle at the foot of the mountain, and focuses on the top of the mountain. This hill has been attacked four times, and the remains of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army are scattered from the top of the mountain to the mountainside.! ~！
