The captain company commander was wearing his trouser belt and said to Zhao Dahu and the others: "Damn, what are you three doing here?" Go over there and see if there's anyone alive, do it all for me! ”

"Yes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Zhao Dahu and the three hurriedly responded, carrying their rifles and running forward.

………………

Kumamoto, headquarters of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army.

Igo Masaho and Nakamura Tanichi sat on their chairs tiredly, and a soldier had already served them a meal, and the two grabbed it without any image and began to eat and drink.

After eating a few large bowls of rice, the two who were a little choked picked up the water cup and poured it violently for a while, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.

Sitting on the chair, Igo Masaho hiccuped twice before he said to Nakamura Tani: "Nakamura-kun, I didn't expect us to be so embarrassed, even when we first joined the army, we weren't so miserable." ”

Nakamura Tanichi said with deep feelings: "Yes, I didn't expect you and me to fall to such a point." ”

Recalling the past few days, Nakamura Tanichi felt like crying, he was the commander of a lieutenant general division of the Japanese Empire, and he had been reduced to a miserable situation that could almost be compared with a beggar.

Thinking that the chief of staff and the main force of the division and regiment that they had worked together for many years were now all annihilated by the Shina people, Nakamura Tani really shed a few tears from it.

Igo Zhenghe saw it in his eyes, and his heart was also full of flavors, and he still encouraged and comforted Nakamura Tanichi despite it: "Nakamura-kun, don't be sad, we still have a cavalry wing in our hands, plus the remaining troops of our division, as long as we can quickly rush to Nagasaki, use the weapons and ammunition hoarded in the military factory to expand the troops as much as possible, and then rely on the mountains to persist in resisting, things are still promising." ”

Unexpectedly, when Yiwu was talking to him, a left-behind communication soldier ran in in with a panicked expression, and saluted the two: "Your Excellency the division commander." A telegram came from Tokyo that General Okamura Ninji had crossed the sea to Kyushu Island two days ago to direct the war, but unfortunately encountered a Shina submarine in the waters of the Seto Inland Sea, and dozens of people from Okamura Ninji and his entourage were all killed, and none of them were spared.

In addition, Prime Minister Minoru Saito has resigned, the Saito Cabinet has been forced to dissolve, and a new cabinet is still being prepared. "What?" Igo Masaho and Nakamura Tani were taken aback when they heard this, and the former stood up in disbelief. He asked, "Is everything you just said true?" ”

The signal soldier looked up at him with some trembling eyes, nodded and said, "Your Excellency the division commander, the telegram was just received by the junior officer, and it was indeed sent by the Tokyo General Staff Headquarters, so it should be true." ”

"General Okamura Ninji is the only senior officer I admire, his tactical command ability and strategic vision are second to none, I didn't expect to die so badly." Igo is in a bit of a heart-wrenching way.

Nakamura Taniichi also leaned back in his chair with a miserable face, and said extremely depressed: "Could it be that the Great Japanese Empire is really declining?" Self-sufficiency, protracted resistance? Easy to say. Without foreign aid, without weapons and ammunition, without training, what can we do against the Chinese who are armed to the teeth? ”

"What's the use of talking about that now? The order from the General Staff Headquarters has come down. What else can we do but do it? Did you flee back to Tokyo? Let's not talk about whether you can escape or not, even if you successfully escape back to Tokyo, it is estimated that you will have to go to a military court.

Of course, we have one other option than to escape. That is to surrender to the people of China, and then we will be nailed to the pillar of shame of the history of the Yamato nation forever and be reviled to the fullest. Lingering for 10,000 years. Igo Zhenghe said helplessly with some self-deprecation.

At the port of Busan, the third batch of landing troops also successfully boarded the ship under the command of Jiang Baili, chief of staff of the Northeast Frontier Army, and began to march towards Kyushu Island.

With this addition, more than 180,000 troops of the Northeast Army gathered in the port of Busan have left for Kyushu Island.

Within a week, all 600,000 troops will land.

At the same time, there was an astonishing scale of national celebrations in various parts of the country, especially in the major cities under the jurisdiction of the Northeast Frontier Army's base areas.

When the news of the great victory of hundreds of thousands of troops of the Northeast Frontier Army was transmitted back to China, the 40,000,000 soldiers and civilians celebrated and the crowd was boiling.

Beiping, Tianjin, Baoding, Cangzhou, Shenyang, Changchun, Dalian and other places are all empty alleys, and the grand occasion is unprecedented.

Countless Chinese people poured into the streets to shout long live Commander-in-Chief Zhang and long live the Northeast Frontier Guards, in order to vent the unparalleled excitement and excitement in their hearts.

Zhang Xinghan's photo portrait has been posted all over the streets and alleys of major cities, and everyone knows about it.

Zhang Xinghan's personal prestige reached its peak at this time, and he had become the greatest hero of the Chinese nation.

It has only been a few years, and the Chinese, who have been bullied by foreign enemies, have finally raised their eyebrows and exhaled a word, and in major cities, those foreigners no longer dare to easily bully the Chinese people.

The people have an unprecedented sense of pride and national identity.

The news that the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy had been completely annihilated and that the Northeast Frontier Guards had attacked Kyushu Island not only thrilled the Chinese nation but also shocked the Western world.

The great powers of various countries were deeply shocked that China, which had always been poor and backward in their eyes, had burst out with such an astonishing combat strength, and Japan, which had always been assessed as the strongest country in Asia, had been completely annihilated by the poor and backward China of its powerful naval fleet, which they were proud of and feared by other countries in the world.

This was so shocking news for the Western powers that they would rather believe even in Satan's resurrection than believe that it was true.

But the messages sent back by their intelligence agents and agencies across Asia confirm that this is true.

The Russians, who had been busy with European affairs and tried to increase their voice in Europe and their international standing, were also shocked.

For a long time, SDL did not take the weak Northeast Frontier Army seriously, even if its Far Eastern Group Army suffered defeat under Zhang Xinghan twice, SDL did not take it too seriously.

Because his strategic focus and main focus were on Europe, not on Northeast Asia, which was thousands of miles away from the Soviet Union.

In his opinion, as long as the Soviets gained a foothold in Europe and turned around, they could destroy Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Army, and the weak Northeast Frontier Army would inevitably be drowned in the torrent of Soviet ironclads.

But the development of things greatly surprised SDL, the Northeast Frontier Army, which had always been weak and vulnerable in his heart, actually attacked the Japanese mainland?

The Japanese SDL is not to be underestimated, because the impact of the Russo-Japanese War has not yet dissipated, and although this country is small, its military strength is indeed not to be underestimated.

In shock, the SDL was reported, and the Japanese ambassador to Moscow asked for a meeting, and the SDL ordered his men to arrange a meeting immediately.

At the same time, the British, who had always been at odds with the Japanese, also received the Japanese ambassador's request, and France and Germany were no exception.

The Japanese government's foreign policy is proceeding steadily, and the outcome of the negotiations is not known for the time being.

A week later, more than 400,000 troops of the Northeast Frontier Army, the main force of the army, plus the navy and air force, totaling more than 600,000 troops, all landed on Kyushu Island.

The first air base near Kitakyushu Island Castle broke ground a few days ago and began emergency repairs.

The Navy, in cooperation with the Air Force and submarine forces, began to carry out non-stop air strikes and strikes on ports, docks, factories, military facilities in the coastal areas of the Japanese island of Honshu.

In addition, the foreign trade and fishing of the Japanese were blocked, but all Japanese ships flying plaster flags were attacked by sea, air and underwater fire from the Northeast Frontier Guards.

For a time, Japan fell into a precarious situation, the fishing industry could not be developed, foreign trade could not be carried out, and the maritime connection with Taiwan, the Ryukyus and other places was also cut off.

With the landing of more than 400,000 main army forces, Zhang Xinghan also issued an order to completely capture the entire Kyushu Island and flatten all the resistance forces on the island.

More than 400,000 troops launched a fierce attack on the central and southern parts of Kyushu Island in dozens of routes.

The commander of the 18th Division, Taniichi Nakamura, and the commander of the 6th Division, Igo Masa, hastily assembled more than 20,000 resistance troops were easily defeated.

Except for a few who fled to the mountainous areas and the vast countryside, most of them were basically wiped out.

On July 19, the 24th year of the Republic of China, the Northeast Frontier Army invaded Kumamoto, and on the 24th, captured Nagasaki.

At the same time, Sasebo, Takeo and other places were also captured by the Northeast Frontier Army.

At the end of July, the 6th Division of the Northeast Frontier Army, with the cooperation of the paratroop brigade, captured Kagoshima, the southernmost part of Kyushu Island.

At this point, the large-scale fighting on Kyushu Island has basically ended.

On 3 August, with the cooperation of the navy, Zhang Xinghan sent two reorganized divisions to attack the affiliated islands around Kyushu Island from the east and west, which lasted half a month, and dozens of islands of various sizes, including Kagoshima Ma, Tanegashima, Mamojima, Iwo Jima, Takeshima, Yakushima, Kuroshima, and Kuchinagarabu Island, including the Goto Islands in the west, were captured by the Northeast Frontier Army.

The island's weak resistance was destroyed.

At this point, the waters around Kyushu Island, with the exception of the distant Naha Islands (i.e., the Ryukyu Islands), were all included in the Chinese territory.

In order to maintain stability on Kyushu Island, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili discussed and decided, and the troops were temporarily stationed on Kyushu Island and nearby islands.

On 15 August, Zhang Xinghan appointed Wang Yizhe as commander-in-chief of the occupation forces on Kyushu Island, and he flew back to China with Jiang Baili, Zhao Zhenfan, and others.

At this point, the battle for the Eastern Crusade against Japan came to an end.

As soon as Zhang Xinghan got off the plane, he received an urgent secret report from the Shen Xingye Secret Bureau, and when he learned that the situation was urgent, Zhang Xinghan did not even see the celebration banquet prepared by Huang Xiansheng and others, and flew directly back to the base camp Jilin.

At the airport, Shen Xingye, director of the Secrecy Bureau, had already arranged for the vehicle to wait for a long time.

Seeing Zhang Xinghan coming back, Shen Xingye didn't say much, opened the door and asked Zhang Xinghan and the others to get in the car, and the group went straight to the base camp headquarters. (To be continued......)
