Section 4 The Destruction of the North China Dispatch Army XVII
The cheers were deafening, covering the entire valley and dispelling the cold of early spring. /.0M\\ Rolling in the mountains, soaring into the sky, converging in the sky, rising high into the sky, and then rushing and pouring down in all directions.
Zhengzhou, Jinan, and Wuhan, which are recovering from the war, are cheering, and the whistles of Chongqing and Guangzhou are soaring into the sky.
The cheers continued, and I don't know who fired the first shot into the sky, and then countless fire dragons sped into the sky. A flock of resident birds flew up from the forest, flapping their wings and flying into the dark sky in panic.
Suddenly, someone began to stomp their feet, and then the whole valley was stomping sound, and small songs from various regions began to be sung in the dark night.
"It's a pity that there is no wine!" In the firelight, Song Xilian said loudly with some regret.
Fan Hanjie took out a bottle of red wine and poured half a glass for everyone as if he were juggling, and Pan Wenhua jokingly laughed: "This is the advantage of tank soldiers." ”
Fan Hanjie smiled and shook his head and poured wine for everyone: "That is, no matter what, we still have a tank, and there is no problem with bottling wine." ”
In fact, each of Fan Hanjie's tanks has tankers who carry their own things, of course, these things are based on the premise that they do not affect the operation, and officers at all levels know that no one cares, this is mainly because Fan Hanjie believes that this can boost morale.
After everyone raised their glasses and drank the wine, they threw the cup on the ground and smashed it to pieces.
In all directions, cheers thundered.
"The commander gave us three days to reorganize the troops, replenish food and ammunition" and then launched an attack on eastern Hebei. Song Xilian turned around and said to everyone with a smile.
"Three days?!" Pan Wenhua was a little surprised, Fan Hanjie, Dai Anlan and others were also very surprised, Zhuang Jihua has always emphasized that the soldiers are fast, "In three days, Umezu Mijiro has long been gone."
"Yes, three days" Song Xilian said: "You still don't understand what the commander means, in three days, Umezu Mijiro still dares to stay in Tangshan, and I have his surname!" ”
Say it haha laugh" Everyone also laughed together, they all understood what Zhuang Jihua meant, after a big battle, the troops destroyed a lot of enemies, the losses were also very large, the ammunition consumption was very large, and the troops urgently needed to replenish "It's nothing to let go of Umezu Mijiro, a huge victory, it can be successfully ended."
Sure enough, it didn't take three days, and the next day, "Umezu Mijiro of Tangshan led his troops to retreat to Shanhaiguan, and it took only three days to retreat to Shanhaiguan, and rendezvous with the Kwantung Army and Sword Division that had arrived at Shanhaiguan, and build a defense line at Shanhaiguan. @本章节孤独手打@
Song Xilian led his troops to rendezvous with Lan Yundong, and Zhuang Jihua ordered Song Xilian to serve as the commander-in-chief, commanding the First Group Army, the 52nd Group Army, the Fifth Group Army, the 74th Army, the 72nd Army, the New Eighth Army, and the Kou Army to "pursue Umezu Mijiro in three ways."
The Fifth Army and the First Army, under the command of Van Hanjie, pursued along the Bac Ninh Line".
The 52nd Army and the 72nd Army formed the Northern Front Corps, which "attacked and marched simultaneously" along both sides of the Great Wall.
The 74th Army, the New Eighth Army, and the Kou Army, formed the Middle Route Army and stayed in Tangshan.
Outside the Great Wall, Zhuang Jihua did not give Okabe Naosaburo any respite, and resolutely ordered Qiu Qingquan and Fu Zuoyi Wei Lihuang to continue the attack, Guo Xunqi occupied Chengde before Okabe Naosabu, and north of Chengde, the 101st Army and the old 2nd Division, the vanguard of Okabe Naosaburo, launched a jī battle, and the 101st Army defeated the 4th Division and conquered Gaositai in the pursuit.
When Guo Xunqi led the 101st Army to occupy Chengde, he commanded the New First Army and the New Liucao to occupy Luanping, and then the troops were divided into two routes, Sun Liren commanded the New First Army to attack Longhua, and Liao Yaoxiang commanded the New Sixth Army to detour west of Longhua along the Luanhe River. After Guo Xunqi received the report, he immediately ordered Chen Mingren to lead the 101st Army to attack Longhua from the southeast.
In the face of the attack of the ** team, Naosaburo Okabe did not dwell too much, and soon gave up Longhua and retreated to the paddock.
The good news came one after another, Fu Zuoyi and Wei Lihuang pursued Jimu Zhenyi in two ways, and finally Fu Zuoyi caught up with Jimu Zhenyi in the lion ditch north of Chongli, and after a bloody battle, Jimu Zhenyi's entire army was wiped out, and Jimu Zhenyi committed suicide by breaking his stomach.
After annihilating Jimu Zhenyi, Wei Lihuang and Fu Zuoyi planned to stop the attack and turn to rest, but Zhuang Jihua's telegram arrived and ordered them to continue the attack. Xu Zuyi rushed to Shizigou by plane and told them in detail the strategic purpose of attacking Ménggu, and at the same time, Zhuang Jihua urgently airdropped a batch of ammunition and food, and the troops recovered a little.
Zhuang Jihua ordered the establishment of the Méng Ancient Column, with Wei Lihuang as the commander of the column and Fu Zuoyi as the deputy commander, and all the Sixth Group Army of the 86th Army and the 94th Army were incorporated into this column, and Wei Lihuang led the pursuit of the Japanese army to Méng Gu.
At the same time, Peng. Huai led the Xin, the Army and Ye T's New Fourth Army to attack Neiméng Gu through Zhangbei, and Chen G led the guerrilla corps and the Zhan Division Task Force to conquer Fengning, and then crossed Binglang Mountain and marched towards Duolun.
In the face of the menacing "Middle" ** team, Naosaburo Okabe was very keen, and after the striker was unfavorable in the initial battle, he immediately retreated, and then abandoned the paddock and retreated to Chifeng. After Guo Xunqi occupied the enclosure, he stopped the pursuit and moved closer to the west, compressing the gap with Chen G's troops.
Song Xilian announced at the foot of Longquan Mountain that the North China Dispatch Army no longer existed, and in his opinion, the North China Dispatch Army only left two isolated cities in Beiping and Tianjin, and the total strength of the defenders was only 60,000 or 70,000 people, surrounded by hundreds of thousands of large army regiments, and it was effortless to destroy them and recover Beiping and Tianjin.
But there are two people who will not agree with his judgment, and the commander of the North China Dispatch Army, Okamura Ninji, will not agree, as the commander of the North China Dispatch Army, he is still guarding the city of Beiping, and the North China Dispatch Army will not perish.
Zhuang Jihua also disagreed, without the capture of Beiping Tianjin, this battle would not have ended, and there would be no victory.
In Tokyo, Kuniaki Koiso walked out of the palace heavily, looked up at the brightness of the sky, and sighed heavily, he had just submitted his resignation to the emperor, and yesterday, Ishihara had already submitted his resignation to the emperor.
In North China, the Imperial Army suffered the heaviest defeat since the Meiji Restoration, with a total of 360,000 troops annihilated, and only Nakajima Yasuken escaped with more than 7,000 men across the Great Wall and joined the Kwantung Army north of Chengde with the south; In addition, Okamura Ninji and Isamu Yokoyama, who were heavily surrounded in Beiping and Tianjin, and these two armies, whether it was Umezu Mijiro or Nishio Toshizo or Tokyo, were ready to expel them from the battle sequence.
At the Imperial Council held a few days ago, the atmosphere of the whole meeting was sad, Hirohito shed tears in public, and the ministers described it as desolate, but no one was helpless, Sugiyama Mototo and Ishihara Waner were angry at the Imperial Meeting in public, and from the beginning of the Shina Incident, Sugiyama Mototo and the military department made mistakes in decision-making on the Sino War, and interfered with the military command.
Ishihara's attitude angered almost all the generals and ministers who accused Ishihara of making many mistakes in the past year or so in his command, and should bear the main responsibility, and Sugiyama Mototo also took the opportunity to ask him to seppuku, but Ishihara Waner did not give in to the hardliners of the military department, especially Sugiyama Moto's interference in his command, and denied that he should bear the responsibility for the defeat.
Hirohito was extremely disappointed, and resolutely interrupted the two of them, asking them to come up with a way to solve the current crisis of the empire Before Sugiyama could speak, Ishihara's emotions were completely out of control, and he blurted out at Emperor Hirohito: "Accept the treaty of the allies!" End this damn war! ”
After shouting this sentence, Ishihara Waner's matter could no longer be reversed, and Ishihara Waner immediately took out the resignation letter that he had prepared in advance and resigned to the emperor in public at the imperial meeting, but Hirohito did not keep it and would not keep it.
The car stopped in the palace, and the immortal ghost Kantaro Suzuki got out of the car with great difficulty, and when he looked up, he saw Koiso Kuniaki standing in front of the temple gate, he slowly walked in front of Koiso Kuniaki, everyone was relatively speechless, just a long sigh.
"State affairs are up to you!" Kuniaki Koiso bowed deeply to Suzuki.
Kantaro Suzuki sighed again, wanting to say something, but he didn't know what to say, and in the end he could only sigh. He actually didn't want to be the prime minister, but Kido consulted all the important ministers, and all the important ministers except Hideki Tojo believed that only Kantaro Suzuki, who was born in the navy, could suppress the army and save the situation.
But no matter how Kido or the ministers persuaded him, Kantaro Suzuki didn't do it, everyone knew that the prime minister at this time was a tricky position, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a crater. As the war has developed to the present, it seems that Japan has not been able to find any other way than to accept the conditions of the allies.
To be the last prime minister, surrender to the prime minister, no one wants to do it.
Of course, Kantaro Suzuki will not bring it up, but thinks that he is a soldier and a soldier does not interfere in politics, and secondly, he is too old and in his seventies, so he is really unable to take on this important responsibility. But these conditions didn't work, and Emperor Hirohito couldn't convince him in person, and in the end, Empress Setsuko came forward, and he really couldn't push it down.
Kido came out of the hall and looked at the two relatively silent prime ministers, sighing slightly in his heart. angry, and then said to Suzuki Kantaro, "Tanuki is waiting to be raised." ”
Suzuki Kunitaro bowed slightly to Koiso Kuniaki, raised his steps and slowly walked towards the hall, Koiso Kunitaki looked at Suzuki Kantaro's back, and saluted again.
Suzuki Kantaro walked into the hall, Hirohito had been waiting on the throne for a while, and after Suzuki Kantaro had given the salute, Hirohito spoke first.
"Aiqing, the state affairs are difficult, and the ancestors are ghosts...... Since then, this is the most critical moment, the important ministers have recommended you, I am also optimistic about you, and I look forward to your ability to turn the tide. Hirohito had a cry in his voice, the defeat in the war, the fate of the last emperor, he was deeply afraid.
"Minister,......" Suzuki Kantaro just opened his mouth to say a word, he couldn't go on, the monarch and the minister were relatively choked, Kido was also secretly weeping next to him, after a while, Suzuki Kantaro collected his tears and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the current situation, the minister, the minister, can only say that as long as the conditions of the allies are acceptable, the minister suggests, if necessary, Your Majesty can decide." ”
Kido was taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "Prime Minister, it would be best if we could stop the bloodshed and stop the war, but the empire should also have a bottom line." ”
"Of course," Kantaro Suzuki replied immediately, "The bottom line of the empire is to retain the emperor system, not to pay indemnities, and the war criminals will be tried by the empire itself." ”
Neither Suzuki Kantaro nor Kido mentioned in the Cairo Declaration that Penghu and Taiwan would be returned to China, Korea would become independent, and Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands would be returned to Soviet Russia. @。
