"General!" While eating porridge about the same as boiling water, a Japanese soldier saw his commander-in-chief approaching, quickly put down his lunch box and stood upright. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

They have been fighting in Pyongyang for three days, and God knows what happened to them during these three days.

The buildings of the city, which were originally quite tall, have now all been destroyed by the artillery fire of the Ming Empire's attack, and all that remains here is the ruins and the corpses buried in the ruins.

"Sit down! No formality! Sit down! "Mitsui Takanomiya is also familiar with Chinese military books, and he also knows what it means to undress and push food.

In between battles, he often led his men to inspect the positions on the front line, to boost the morale of those who could collapse at any moment, and to let the soldiers on the front line know that as a commander, he did not leave everyone behind.

Mitsui Takanomiya wore a decent military uniform with a cotton-filled coat over it. With his family's Japanese command knife at his waist, he walked slowly through the rubble-strewn streets.

"We have laid mines on some of the main streets, but because of the shelling, it has not had much effect." An officer walks by Mitsui's side and introduces him to the nearby arming work.

As he walked, the officer pointed to the building with three floors left in the distance: "Over there, we have set up a heavy machine gun to suppress the street over there. ”

"Good!" Seeing the soldiers in the cold wind, ready to turn everything in front of them into a battlefield, Mitsui Takanomiya nodded with satisfaction.

On the dock of Nanpu, the sound of explosions came one after another, it was that Japanese sappers were blowing up large loading and unloading machinery, destroying those port materials that could not be left for the Ming Empire.

In the place where Mitsui Takanomiya was located, he couldn't hear these explosions, but when he came out, he had already received a report on this, and naturally it seemed that he heard the sound of those explosions.

That was a means to prevent the Ming Empire from using the port, and it was also an effort to leave a worthless piece of tatter land to the Ming Empire as much as possible!

In Mitsui Takanomiya's view, wasting time and manpower and national strength to fight to the death with the Ming Empire here is a thing that is not beneficial at all.

The only motive force was to turn everything on the Korean Peninsula, which was now under Japanese control, into ruins, a scorched earth - probably the only thing they had left to do was die here!

In fact, there is nothing too valuable on the port of Nampo, after all, Japan has suspended sea transportation to the Nampo area for several days.

Everything that could be eaten, including the fish that had been caught from the sea in time, had been divided among the soldiers; Coats and cloths for keeping out the cold have also been shared.

Some of the more expensive things are naturally in demand: sake from the motherland, cigarettes and rice...... These things were divided among the high-ranking officers, and the cooks of Mitsui Takanomiya had a lot of them stocked there.

As for meat...... Japan is a large country in animal husbandry, and there are many cavalry and pack horses in Japan. These horses don't seem to be useful now, they have all been killed and eaten.

However, even so, there was still a food crisis, and there were so many Japanese soldiers in Pyongyang that they ate a large amount of stored grain, and the speed was very alarming.

"This is our barricade!" Pointing to the breastwork wall made of sandbags and fragments of buildings, and the rows of Japanese soldiers leaning against the breastwork, the officer told Mitsui Takanomiya.

For Mitsui Takanomiya, who is accustomed to regular trenches and fortifications, this position is as simple as the building blocks built by his son.

However, seeing the Japanese soldiers wearing overcoats inside, Mitsui Takanomiya still didn't blame anything, and still nodded and smiled and exclaimed: "Very good!" Very good! They are all warriors of the Japanese Empire! ”

He walked past one soldier after another, smiled at them, and watched them awkwardly pass by their garrison in overcoats that were at least half less cotton than his own.

The further they went, the worse the state of the soldiers became, because most of them had fought against the soldiers of the Ming Empire, and they realized how cruel the future they were about to face was.

"Here?" Seeing a soldier standing listlessly at the door of a half-collapsed building, dozing off in a corner where the wind could not blow, Mitsui Takanomiya pointed over there and asked.

"General, there...... There are hospitals. Glancing at Mitsui Takanomiya, the accompanying officer replied a little embarrassedly, in a vague tone, obviously hoping that the other party would not go in.

Who knows, and I don't know if it's because of a whim, Mitsui Takanomiya pointed to the hospital and commanded: "Go!" Let's go check it out! Look at the warriors who were wounded for the sake of the Empire! ”

When he passed the sleeping soldier at the entrance of the hospital, Mitsui Takanomiya didn't let anyone wake him up, but the movement of so many people still woke him up.

So the soldier hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Your Excellency, General! ”

Mitsui Takanomiya waved his hand and walked into the gate of the hospital first. It was a building that had been destroyed by artillery fire, and it was originally three stories high, but only one and a half floors remained.

There seemed to be a few soldiers on the upper half of the floor, and the lower floor was used as a front-line field hospital. It's a pity that after Mitsui Takanomiya walked in, what caught his eye was not what a hospital should look like.

There was blood everywhere, and it was like a field hospital, but there were only two medics to care for the wounded - and there were no real doctors.

Because the medical soldiers had already run out of medicinal materials, they could only accompany these wounded comrades at this time. Most of the people were confined to the ground, with only a few aisles left for people to pass through.

Even so, the place was already full of people, and Mitsui Takanomiya saw that some of the soldiers couldn't tell whether they were dead or alive at all, they were lying there motionless, and they couldn't even breathe.

"They...... ...... like this, "Seeing the blood all over the ground, and seeing the Japanese soldiers lying on the ground who didn't know whether they were dead or alive, Mitsui Takanomiya choked up a little.

Although he had already received a report that the urgently needed medicine was about to run out, reading the report and intuitively seeing the soldiers waiting to die without medicine and doctors were completely different concepts!

"Your Excellency, General! These soldiers are here of their own free will to die! They are determined to live and die with this place! Please approve it! The accompanying officer hurriedly bowed his head and made a round for his commander.
