[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 1188: The North China Front Surrenders (Ask for Subscription!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

At this time, the world anti-fascist war had entered the final sprint stage, and on the European theater, the Allies successfully landed in France and opened up a second battlefield. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The Soviet-German battlefield on the Eastern Front has also entered the moment of a major counteroffensive, and the heroic Soviet army has driven the invincible German Army out of the border, and now the front has been pushed to the territory of Poland.

In the Pacific theater, the U.S. military is also winning, under the command of MacArthur and Nimitz, hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops are counterattacking the Philippines and have landed on Luzon.

In addition, the Japanese army also suffered heavy losses in the battle for the islands in the South Pacific, and a large number of elite losses were lost in the South Pacific region, which undoubtedly made the Japanese army in decline even worse.

The Chinese battlefield, which was the most troublesome for the Allies, seemed to have ushered in the spring of a counteroffensive, and although the negotiations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were in full swing, the two sides did not back down on some key issues and were at a stalemate.

However, militarily, it seems that the previous decline of defeat and retreat has been stopped, especially in the North China battlefield, Ma Zheng's department is preparing to swallow up hundreds of thousands of troops of the North China Front Army in one bite.

Nanking. The General Headquarters of the Japanese Invasion of China.

At this time, the entire headquarters was lifeless, and all the officers turned their eyes to General Okamura Ninji, as the supreme commander of the Japanese invasion of China, Okamura Ninji's heart was full of helplessness and despair.

Regarding the sudden southward movement of the Japanese Empire to wage war with such a behemoth as the United States, Okamura Ninji has always thought that this is the stupidest thing that the Great Japanese Empire has done in the world.

In Okamura's view, the United States is a real tiger. It's not like China, which is just a plate of loose sand, a little sheep waiting to be slaughtered. The United States is a powerful capitalist power, and it is undoubtedly foolish to confront Japan head-on with such a powerful country in terms of land area, population, and economic strength.

Now the consequences are manifested, the Great Japanese Empire is full of war, and the 5 million troops are not enough to meet the needs of each battlefield. More importantly, Japan's land area is so small, and Japan's population is more than 70 million, so it is simply impossible to recruit more young and middle-aged people to join the army.

Looking at the allies, China alone far surpasses Japan in all aspects. Now the Great Japanese Empire is fighting against American money, Soviet weapons, and Chinese people, and the chances of the Great Japanese Empire winning this war are almost zero.

As far as the current situation in North China is concerned, Okamura Ninji understands better than anyone that the North China Front is finished.

As the previous commander of the North China Front, no one knew this army better than Okamura Ninji. This imperial legion with a glorious record is now just a showmanship, and the main force of the North China Front has been annihilated by Ma Zheng's division two years ago.

Although the base camp has been constantly transfusing blood for the North China Front, the result is that this once glorious army has more and more soldiers, but its combat effectiveness is getting weaker and weaker, so that it now looks like a bloated pus, once an external force punctures the skin outside, the filth inside will be exposed.

Thinking about the prestige of the North China Front Army back then, a mere Fifth Division defeated hundreds of thousands of troops in China's Second Theater and captured Taiyuan, an important city in central Jinzhong, in one fell swoop.

But look at the present, although the North China Front Army has hundreds of thousands of troops, it can't even break through a small encirclement of the Zhina. And the worst thing is that he can't mobilize more troops to the north to reinforce the North China Front now, which is really sad.

Although he was very helpless and sad, Okamura Ninji couldn't show it, he knew his current identity very well. If he was still the commander of the North China Front, he would definitely not hesitate to order the soldiers under his command to lay down their arms and surrender unconditionally to Ma Zheng's troops.

However, his current identity is the commander-in-chief of the China Dispatch Army, and his identity, status and position determine that he can only harden his head and order the troops on the North China battlefield to continue to resist, even if he can't break through, it can greatly consume the sharpness and ammunition of the China people.

With Okamura's orders, the Japanese troops on the North China front could only charge the Chinese defenders outside the encirclement again and again, and then they were killed in batches. But after all, human life is not like a leek, it will grow up if it is cut, and if it is gone, it will be gone.

The large number of Japanese casualties greatly affected the morale of the Japanese puppet army in the encirclement, coupled with Ma Zheng's order to continuously launch the final blow to the Japanese army, and finally the last bit of morale of the North China Front Army was lost.

On the afternoon of September 28, Ma Zheng issued an ultimatum to the North China Front in Zaozhuang's former enemy headquarters, demanding that the Japanese troops in the encirclement immediately lay down their arms and surrender unconditionally, and they would give these prisoners of war the corresponding treatment, otherwise they would no longer accept the surrender of the Japanese army.

At the same time, Ma Zheng also hoped that Genbo would proceed from the overall situation, take the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the North China Front Army as the ultimate starting point, and seriously consider the future of the department. In addition, they will cease fighting for 12 hours, and the army will not attack until 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, waiting for a reply from the North China Front.

Ma Zheng put a difficult choice question in front of Gen Bo, surrender is extremely humiliating for any soldier in any country, especially in Asia. No one would think that surrender is a matter of course, and as a soldier, surrender is the greatest stain on life.

After receiving the news from Ma Zheng, Genbo's first reaction was to resolutely fight back. But Genbo knew that Ma Zheng had caught his pulse, it was a full 300,000 troops, and most of them were 16 or 7-year-old teenagers, and he couldn't let these people go to death.

What made Nemoto even more entangled was that he had already spoken on the phone with General Okamura Ninji before, and the result was that the possibility of reinforcements appearing was very small, which made Okamura Ninji go crazy.

Although Tokyo called Hiroshi several times and told him that even if the whole army was broken, he knew that if he did not surrender, he was afraid that the entire 300,000 troops on the front line would really become homeless and wronged in a foreign land.

After some discussions with some high-ranking officials on the same side and several lieutenant generals and division commanders, Hiroji still couldn't make up his mind, because as far as the North China Front was concerned, there was no unity of opinion.

Some division commanders believed that even if the whole army died in battle, they would never surrender, because taking the initiative to surrender to the people of China would be disastrous for the entire Imperial Japanese Army and for the whole of Japan. However, some division commanders believe that now that the general trend of the front army has gone, it is extremely unwise to drag hundreds of thousands of young people to accompany the front army to the funeral.

The most important thing is that the front army now wants ammunition and ammunition, and even if it has the belief that it will win, in the face of the bullet net made of steel, the flesh and blood are simply vulnerable. Therefore, if the war continues, the whole army will be annihilated, and as the supreme commander of this army, Genbo will inevitably become a sinner for hundreds of millions of people.

On September 29, after receiving no specific reply from the Japanese army, Ma Zheng issued an order to the whole army for a general attack.

After the total launch, Ma Zheng's 800,000 troops launched a final attack on the Japanese army from the southwest, north and south, even if the Japanese army still had a large number of air force support in the sky, but the battle showed a one-sided situation from the beginning.

Soon, the Japanese defensive line in the north was crushed, and then the entire Japanese defensive line completely collapsed.

At 3 p.m. on the 30th, after seeing that the general trend had gone, Nemobo issued an order to the whole army to stop the return fire.

At the same time, Gen Bo announced to the outside world that he would unconditionally surrender to Ma Zheng's department.

Soon, Ma Zheng also personally responded to the outside world, accepted the surrender request of the North China Front, and guaranteed the lives and safety of the surrendered Japanese officers and soldiers with the honor of soldiers.

In addition, Ma Zheng also reiterated the prisoner policy of the Eighth Route Army, indicating that the Saibei Corps was not as brutal as the outside world rumored, whether it was the Japanese army or the puppet army, as long as they had not committed any bloody crimes in China, they would be regarded as prisoners and given preferential treatment after surrender.
