Nishikanjiro and Okubo Haruno kept looking at each other one after another, but they quickly staggered their eyes, and neither of them spoke first, as if they were waiting for each other's initiative. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

No one expected that the war would be fought like this, and even earlier, the two of them were stupid enough to think that with the strength of their two divisions, they would be able to resist the attack of the Chinese Empire.

The previous rout was only due to the after-effects of the overly dispersed troops, and the shameless sneak attack of the Chinese Empire, which made them so embarrassed that they only needed to bring their forces together, and even the most enemies could hardly crush their troops.

However, what they did not expect was that after several days of contact, the total number of Japanese troops who finally returned to Pyongyang was only more than 20,000, and the number of Japanese troops here was less than 25,000 with the existing troops in Pyongyang.

Although these two divisions also have garrisons in other places, those garrisons are at most a thousand people, and even if they are added, they are less than 30,000 people.

But when they came out, it was a full 48,000 people, and in just a few days, they lost 18,000 people? With the strength of an entire division, this kind of blow is really too great, and this kind of consequence is unimaginable.

If, because of their recklessness, the result is not only the destruction of the two reinforced divisions, but also the loss of North Korea, then what will happen to the two of them?

Perhaps, only self-condemnation can alleviate their self-blame and save their families from punishment.

However, the two of them, who have worked hard for most of their lives, finally got into the position of division commander, who doesn't want to live? Although they knew in their hearts that their fate would only be death, but when this moment was really coming, they were a little afraid.

'Bang! ’

The door inside the house was knocked on from the outside, and this sudden knock temporarily alleviated the awkward atmosphere in the house.

"Come in!" Nishikanjiro took a hard breath and pretended to be calm as much as he could.

The door of the house was opened, it was a Zhongsa, belonging to the Second Division, and Nishikanjiro left him in Pyongyang to be responsible for dispatching the logistics and supplies of the Japanese army.

Nishikanjiro is a soldier who attaches more importance to logistics, and he believes that whether a commander can become an excellent officer depends on whether he has the qualifications to serve as the commander of a logistics unit.

Because only people who understand logistics know how to arrange troops and how to do it, so that their troops can always give full play to their combat effectiveness.

As early as the day before Nishikanjiro returned to Pyongyang, Gui Jianren arranged for the troops to send food to the troops in front, he did not know that the war had already started, and it was even about to reach Pyongyang.

According to the original plan, the next batch of grain will arrive in three days, and this batch of grain will be enough for them to eat for half a month.

"Your Excellency the division commander, Nakata-kun and Tsuka-kun have just apologized for their sins!" Gui Ji Anren lowered his head and said.

"I see, you go out first." Xikuan Jiro was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

Gui Ji Anren slowly retreated, gently pulled the door shut again, and there was a trace of despair in his eyes. For most of the day, they only collected thousands of catties of grain, and with the current level of hunger of the Japanese army, this food was enough for them to eat one meal at most, but after eating this meal, where will they go for the next meal?

The food delivery team he sent out a few days ago, if nothing else, should have been supplied to the enemy army, because no army has food on them now, which means that they did not see the food delivery team, and the food delivery team did not return.

"Okubo-kun, it seems that we have no way back." Nishikanjiro shook his head with a wry smile.

The two culprits who plotted to provoke this war have already convicted themselves, and according to Japanese custom, even the emperor will no longer hold them accountable.

These two guys died and walked happily.

As the commanders of the 2nd and 6th Divisions, the two of them had an unshirkable responsibility for bringing the troops into a state of no return.

What's more, this military operation was not authorized from above, and even Commander Obaogong was half-concealed.

Even, it wasn't until the Chinese Imperial Army entered Korea that they couldn't resist it, so they revealed some of this matter to Ao Baogong, and Ao Baogong was naturally in an incomparable atmosphere, but in order to protect his soldiers, he could only help them make up this lie more completely.

But no matter how you make up this lie, the losses of the Japanese army are real, and the Chinese Empire did invade Korea, and it is also true that the Japanese army could not resist the Chinese Empire.

It is not until now that Japan has realized that there may be something wrong with the previous situation, but it has not yet been discovered what is wrong.

Japan even placed the blame for the war on the Chinese Empire, but it was ignorant of what the Japanese had done in Korea and the Chinese Empire.

If the matter succeeds, then they will not only have no responsibility for taking the initiative to provoke the war, but will be rewarded vigorously. But now it's a fucking failure, and the defeat makes people lose their temper.

"Yes, there is no way back, you and I have become sinners of the Japanese Empire, we should not rush to believe Nakata and Tsukasuka." Haruno Okubo said helplessly.

"In any case, the Second Division and the Sixth Division cannot be destroyed, we cannot afford such losses, and the Japanese Empire cannot afford such losses." Nishikanjiro said firmly.

"Yes, the empire has invested a lot of effort in these two divisions, once these two divisions are annihilated, the Great Japanese Empire will not be able to slow down within a year, and even lose the threat to Korea, the Chinese Empire does not have a navy, so even if we are defeated, there will eventually be a place to settle in Korea, but once our army is annihilated, even if there is a strong navy, they can't fight on land after all." Haruno Okubo said.

"What's worse is that the Great Japanese Empire will lose the possibility of an alliance with Britain, and once we are destroyed, Japan will not be able to play a role in holding Russia back in the short term, and then there will be no need for the alliance to exist. Once the opportunity to form an alliance with Britain is lost, it will be difficult for the Japanese Empire to develop, and overseas, we will only be left with the colony of Taiwan, and Taiwan's resources are not much, and it will not be able to support the needs of the empire. At this point, we couldn't have been more wrong. Nishikanjiro added.

"Make a decision early, so that there will be fewer dead soldiers, and as long as they can return to Japan, these two divisions can be rebuilt soon." Haruno Okubo said.

Now he has no choice, things have developed to this point, he has completely escaped their control, and if he wants to keep a trace of strength for Japan, the only way is to surrender. At least that way, the remaining 10,000 or so soldiers will be able to return to Japan.

After most of the day's fighting, the original 25,000 Japanese troops have been sharply reduced to less than 20,000, and as the battle continues, the Japanese side will definitely have more and more casualties due to lack of food and ammunition, and at that time, the number of casualties every day will be more than the previous day, and it may even increase exponentially.

In this case, even if it is conservatively estimated, the Japanese troops in Pyongyang will only be able to last four days at most.

Even three days later, without the need for the Chinese Empire to attack, the Japanese Army had already lost the strength to take up arms.

Waiting for reinforcements? Do you have to wait for the Fourth Division to come to the rescue? Or come to the rescue by the half-hung level of the North Korean puppet army? One is a nest, it's okay to defend North Korea, it's better to rely on them than on sows. One is that he doesn't even have all the weapons, and when he comes, he can only be sent to death.

Therefore, waiting for reinforcements will not work at all, and if they still want to keep the rest of the people, then the only way to go is to surrender.

But the road of surrender is not easy to follow, first of all, they are not sure whether the Chinese Empire will let them go back, if they open their mouths, will the Japanese government agree to their demands? When you return to Japan, will these people be reused? According to the past practice, if you lose on the battlefield, if you have a relationship, you will be transferred to the reserve service, and if it doesn't matter, you will either directly cut yourself or wait to go back to prison.

"Surrender, the responsibility for this war, let the two of us bear it!" After a long time, Nishikanjiro finally made the final decision, and after saying this, Nishikanjiro surrendered as if his entire body had been evacuated, they were the first Japanese army to surrender to a foreign army since the Meiji Restoration, and it was also a one-time surrender of two divisions.

It's ridiculous that they were still mocking the 3rd and 5th Divisions for being defeated by the Chinese Empire and throwing away their armor. However, now that it has fallen to them, it has become a luxury to even collapse the army and lose their armor, and now, Nishikanjiro wants to exchange with the 3rd and 5th Divisions, at least then they will not be the first Japanese army to surrender.

As for the two of them, Nakata and Tsuizuka were too low, although they took the initiative to provoke this war, but at that time, Nishikanjiro and Okubo Haruno were also kept in the dark, and the two of them were not notified until their plan was almost completed, and the rumors were spread after the Korean army.

Nishikanjiro and Okubo Haruno were pushed to the death line by Nakata and Uizuka, and it is also very strange to say that one Osa, one Nakasa, would make two Japanese lieutenant generals have to do things according to their arrangements.

But if you think about it, it is not surprising that this happened in the Japanese army, and there are many cases in history where superiors were forced to obey the arrangements of their subordinates.

Why did Wang Sirui severely deal with the commanders of the 23rd, 52nd, and 60th Divisions? Or even to remove them while there is a war? It is because Wang Sirui is also afraid that if this matter is not handled harshly enough, it will make other officers learn from them to do it, and eventually it will become a trend, just like the current Japanese army.

It can be said that North Korea was completely lost in the hands of Nakata and Yi Tsuka. (To be continued.) )
