In addition to catching an Uehara Sawawa, the night of December 10 can be described as boring. The Ming army did not continue the offensive www.biquge.info, and the Japanese army hurried overnight - there was no large-scale battle between the two sides, not even a symbolic sneak attack and a counter-sneak attack.

When the sky was illuminated by the sun the next day, the Ming troops, who had rested all night, began to move, most of the army began to bury pots and cook, and a small number of mechanized troops even took action, finding the right direction of the attack and starting a new round of advance.

Because Mo Dongshan had captured a great person, he was ordered to turn back and go to the group army headquarters to report the incident. However, his unit was ordered to attack eastward, and began its own march in the direction of the underwater interior. At the same time, attacking to the east, there were also various units under the command of the 2nd Panzer Corps of the Praetorian Guard.

In the early morning of December 11, the third day of the official battle on the front line, General Takanomiya Mitsui, who succeeded General Yuhito Miyamoto, the commander of the army's front, walked onto the dock to prepare to leave the Japanese mainland.

"Your Excellency General Mitsui, this time you are going to Korea, please be sure to cherish it and stabilize the war situation for our Great Japanese Empire." The one who sent Mitsui Takanomiya, the minister of war with the highest official rank, Sato Fumi, who stood in the sea breeze, held Mitsui Takanomiya's palm, and said with a melancholy face.

The situation of the army was already very bad, and although the retreat at night did give Japan a little time to breathe, after all, the defense line of the Yalu River and the northern part of Korea had been lost, and no one could say that the situation was favorable to Japan at this time.

Sato-kun...... I heard that the secret weapon of the navy sank a warship of the Ming army and scared away the North Sea Division fleet of the Ming Empire, is it true? Holding Sato's palm, Mitsui Takanomiya opened his mouth and asked.

Sato Wen nodded and replied with some bitterness: "Yes, His Majesty the Emperor summoned the relevant submarine designers and production factories overnight, and asked to build 10 of these new warships within three months. It should be true, otherwise the navy would not have the courage to move the crowd so much. ”

"Then the burden of our army will be heavier...... Sato-kun, you know, I've been trying my best to study the armored forces of the Ming Empire, and when we have lost the first-line defense system, the possibility of reversing the defeat is not very high. Knowing what he wanted to know, Takanomiya Mitsui brought his topic back to the battle.

In fact, he just wanted to ask for a testimony of the navy's results and cheer himself up. Knowing that the navy has achieved a small advantage, even if the army losses are greater, the motherland is not in great danger, which makes the pressure on Mitsui Takanomiya's shoulders a lot less.

However, there are still more than 500,000 Japanese main troops stationed in Tuntun on the Korean Peninsula, more than 300,000 troops assisting in defense, and millions of immigrants - all of which cannot be abandoned, and the same pressure from Mitsui Takanomiya also makes him feel that the current war situation is so erosive that it makes people despair.

Including the Korean Auxiliary Defense Force, Japan can mobilize more than 1.1 million troops on the Korean Peninsula, and although most of these troops are not very strong in combat, they are really fundamental to the destiny of the Japanese nation. The Korean Peninsula, together with the original Anshan Iron Mine, was the engine of the development of the Japanese Empire. However, with the pacification of Liaodong by the Ming army and the flames of war on the Korean Peninsula, it can now be said that Japan is only left with its own homeland hanging overseas, lacking the nourishment of its colonies, and it is only one step away from collapse.

After all, Japan has been in a cycle of pathological development since the beginning of the rebellion against the Ming Empire. Japan's economy has always been unstable, and it spends more time in a state of war and preparation for war than it does for peaceful development, and it relies on encroaching on Korea and exploiting Liaodong to replenish its own blood.

Now there is no place to replenish blood, and it is impossible to rely on the so-called British Ceylon relief in the long run. Japan wants to shake hands with the Ming Empire, but unfortunately, people have always regarded Japan as a rebellious rebellious rebellious minister and thief, and they don't give you equal national relations at all.

"Stabilize the battle as much as possible, and if you can't stand Suncheon, you will retreat to Pyongyang...... If Pyongyang still can't hold on, I may not be there at that time, and I can't do anything for you. Sato Wen said to Mitsui Takanomiya with some emotion. He estimated that if Pyongyang was lost, he, the Minister of War of the Ministry of the Army, would be able to do it, and even if His Majesty the Emperor did not trouble him, he himself would not have the face to continue his work.

So he didn't have to help Mitsui Takanomiya, because he didn't have to wait to deal with Mitsui's front-line command mistakes, and he, the Minister of War, had already stepped down and gone home. In this case, it is a waste to say anything, and the only thing that can be done is to work hard for each other, for each other, for themselves and for the motherland.

In the Sasebo Military Port, a huge ship transporting troops sounded its whistle, Mitsui Takanomiya squeezed out a smile, bowed deeply to Sato Fumi, who had the grace of knowing him, and then, surrounded by adjutants and guards, pressed his command knife, and walked up the suspension ladder that was most reserved for him.

Sato also squeezed out a smile and waved at Mitsui Takanomiya, who was walking up the ship's suspension ladder, hoping that his right-hand man could bring victory to Japan, because this might be the last hope for the entire Japanese Empire.

"Come on, Mitsui-kun, please win. Not for me, but for the country. Sato watched as the giant ship in front of him left the port dock and slowly sailed into the distance. The troop carrier would sail directly to Haizhou, where it would unload a full 2,000 reinforcements and a new set of Japanese command leadership.

The Japanese Minister of War stood on the dock for a long time, until he could no longer see the distant steamer, and then turned back and walked to his carriage. Japan will suffer heavy losses in this war, and now we can only pray that Japan can maintain a situation of not losing despite heavy losses.

At the same time that the Japanese army general Mitsui Takanomiya left Japan, the 2nd Division and the 20th Division of the Japanese front got rid of the entanglement of the Ming army and retreated to the Tokugawa line. Now only these two units remained of the elite 3rd Army of the Japanese Empire, like frightened birds, waiting for orders for further action near Tokugawa. At the same time, the 18th Division of the Japanese army reached Akutagawa, the 9th Division fled to Dingzhou, and the 15th Division arrived at Hakutagawa. (To be continued.) )
