Umezu Mijiro and Ishihara walked along a path next to the headquarters building, looking at the lush trees next to them that began to exude spring colors, Umezu Mijiro said with emotion: "Ishihara-kun, look at how beautiful the scenery here is, but it's a pity that we can't take it away." Ishihara Wan'er stretched out his hand and grabbed a leaf from the side, and said with a wry smile: "I thought that we would occupy this rich and beautiful land forever, but I didn't expect that there would be a day when we were driven away.

"Hey! I didn't expect that the flower of the so-called invincible Imperial Army would be driven away one day......" Umezu Mijiro said self-deprecatingly: "The telegram from the base camp ordered us to rely on the favorable terrain of Korea to block the Shina people west of Dandong after retreating to Korea, and then counterattack Shina when the time is ripe." Ishihara-kun, do you think we still have that chance? …”

Ishihara was speechless for a long time before he sighed, "I've been thinking a lot lately, is there something wrong with our strategy, should we settle down and wait for another chaos in China after we occupied Manchuria, and it would be better to attack China in a big way after we have digested Manchuria." As a result, I found that if we could operate in Manchuria for another twenty years with peace of mind, and truly run Manchuria as if it were the mainland of our empire, it would be easy to encroach on the interior of China at that time, but unfortunately, the good situation was ruined by the fools of the young Zhuang faction in the military department. …”

Umezu Mijiro smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Those officers can't wait to swallow the entire Shina overnight, where can they have the patience to wait for twenty years?" Don't talk about them, I'm afraid the first one who doesn't agree is His Majesty the Emperor, right? …”

Ishihara didn't speak, in fact, the officers of the Young Zhuang faction launched the trick of the lower restraint again and again, if it wasn't for Emperor Hirohito's support behind their backs, how could they have such courage. Ishihara has always believed that it is necessary to properly suppress those old chaebols and military bigwigs, but it is not necessary to encourage young and strong officers to assassinate them again and again. At least Ishihara never believed that any country had become strong by assassination. For this reason, Ishihara even wrote a special letter to Emperor Hirohito, "In the recital, he vaguely put forward some suggestions to restrain the domestic young Zhuang faction officers, but he did not expect to be suspicious of the emperor, if it wasn't for Umezu Mijiro's right pull on him, he might still be staying at home and writing books."

Seeing that Ishihara was silent, Umezu Mijiro knew that he had talked about the sore spot of this friend, and then changed the topic: "Now our war situation is very unfavorable, and North Korea also needs someone to preside over the overall situation" Ishihara-kun, you might as well take the train to North Korea first to coordinate the command, and I will stay here in the back of the palace. ”。

Ishihara thought for a while and nodded, "It's okay, but Umezu-kun, you have to be careful, regardless of whether our troops have withdrawn or not" You must withdraw to North Korea within three days, otherwise you will be in danger if you stay here. Now that their Siberian Army has arrived in Jilin, I estimate that Yoshioka Yasunao will be in danger of collapsing in less than three days at most. If you wait until the Siberian cluster and the Far Eastern Army Group meet", then their 400,000 troops will go straight to Dandong, and if they occupy Dandong, you can't leave even if you want to, and you must not expect to fly to Korea or other places, now the sky of Manchuria is already the world of the Chinese people. ”。

A trace of bitterness appeared on Umezu Mijiro's face: "Ishihara-kun, don't worry, I still cherish my little life......"

Speaking of which," Umezu Mijiro's face showed a hint of unbearability, "Ishihara-kun, can't you really order Yoshioka Yasunao to withdraw his troops to Mukden, there are 200,000 elites of the Imperial Kwantung Army there." ”。

"No! Ishihara said resolutely: "If Yoshioka Yasuaichi retreats, we won't even have three days to prepare!" ”。

On the railway from Mukden to Dandong, "trains full of soldiers and supplies whizzed by, and on both sides of the railway were crowded with immigrants from the Japanese reclamation regiment who had fled to Korea. They were all a small group of immigrants who lived around Mukden and were lucky enough to get the news in time for the retreating Japanese Reclamation Regiment.

But they are unfortunate again: "The journey from Mukden to Dandong is not long, only more than 300 kilometers, and it takes less than ten hours for this year's train." But for them, the civilians who walked on their feet, it was a difficult way to escape, and from time to time a few Chahar warplanes whizzed by in the sky, "If they meet a pilot who is in a good mood, they may not bother to pay attention to them, but if they are killed by a pilot who is in a bad mood", their days of suffering will come. While those planes weren't enough to bombard civilians with valuable aerial bombs, a few rounds of machine-gun fire were inevitable.

Therefore, if you see the bloody corpse of a Japanese civilian on both sides of the railway or road, do not doubt that it must be a good thing done by those Chahar pilots who used Japanese civilians to vent their anger.

On April 7, the 27th year of the Republic of China, the Siberian Group Army, which quickly crushed tens of thousands of third-rate garrisons in Heilongjiang, rushed towards Jilin like a tide.

On the 8th, Changchun was recovered, and the puppet Manchukuo emperor Fuyi, who had no time to escape, was captured. On the 9th, the Siberian Army and the Expeditionary Army formally joined forces and surrounded the 150,000 remnants of the regiment stationed in Jilin.

Under the joint attack of Bai Chongxi and Sun Liren, the 150,000 Japanese troops led by Lieutenant General Jiwang Anzhi were immediately annihilated in less than three days, and Lieutenant General Jiwang Anzhi committed suicide by disembowelment. After annihilating Jiwang Anzhi, Bai Chongxi and Sun Li's soldiers rushed straight to Mukden, so that even the stupidest people in the world could see that the Japanese Kwantung Army, which had been glorious for less than seven years, was over......

In a small village more than 100 kilometers away from Mukden, more than 300 immigrants from the Japanese Reclamation Regiment lived here, and because of its remote location, although some time ago there was news of the defeat of the Kwantung Army, they did not believe that the invincible Japanese Kwantung Army would be defeated in the hands of those humble Shina people in ordinary times, and until now they continue to live their old lives as before.

These peasants or unemployed people, who were originally only in China and relied on selling their daughters to brothels to support their families, came to Manchuria as if they had entered a paradise that they could never have dreamed of.

In this land, they can bully the peasants here as much as they want, just as they were oppressed by their landlords in Japan before, and the rapid change of status makes them a little carried away, and they plunder the land and wealth of the peasants who originally lived here with the help of the Japanese government and army, spurring them to work for themselves.

They have completely forgotten that they themselves were once oppressed in Japan, and now that they have come to this rich land, they seem to want to make up for the pain of being cut down by the Japanese landlords and chaebols, and they have passed on all the suffering they have suffered to the people here.

They drove out all the original inhabitants with bayonets and sticks, robbed them of the land and houses that their ancestors had worked so hard for, and left the original villagers to freeze and starve to death. Then he leased the land here to local farmers to cultivate, and collected the rent himself like a landlord, so as to live the life of a landlord of his dreams.

But they forgot that there is an old saying in China: good and evil will be rewarded in the end! Today it was finally their turn.

At noon, the peasants who were working hard around the village were still tending to the fields that had belonged to them but now had to be rented from the Japanese to cultivate, when suddenly several young people who were working in the fields suddenly heard a roar that they had never heard before, and soon a long procession appeared in everyone's sight.

Soon, a group of swarthy iron guys that the villagers had never seen before appeared on the improvised road in the fields, and when they drove not far from the fields, a group of iron guys led by them stopped, and a middle-aged man wearing a dark green military uniform with a fur hat on his head jumped off the iron guys. He was followed by several heavily armed soldiers.

After getting out of the car, he walked to the field and greeted several farmers with a little frightened eyes in the field with a smile, "Hello fellow villagers, I want to ask you for directions."

More than a dozen peasants were a little stunned at first, but after half a ring, an old man stammered and asked, "Boss, where are you from?" ”。

The middle-aged man smiled kindly, "We are a team from Chahar, and we are here to fight the little devils." Look at the markings on our cars! ”。

The old man squinted his old eyes for a while before he said in surprise: "Is it the blue sky and the white sun is full of red, are you, are you all sent by Zhang Shaoshuai?" …”

"Huh! The middle-aged man smiled, "Old man, we weren't sent by Zhang Shaoshuai, but it's all the same, we're all here to fight devils." …”

"Are you really here to fight the emperor and fight the devil? The old man asked incredulously.

Seeing the middle-aged man nodding with a smile and reconfirming, the old man knelt down to the middle-aged soldier tremblingly, choked and cried, "Sir! It's been seven years since you came, and we hope you've had a hard time! The little devils and the villagers are going to make us miserable! You want to avenge my son!" He was beaten to death by the beasts of the Reclamation Regiment. …”

The middle-aged man hurriedly helped the old man up, "Old man, I can't help it, you will lose my life if you do this." ”。

"You just have to tell me where those deflated people of the Reclamation Regiment are, and I'll have someone clean them up......," the middle-aged man said loudly with a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.

"There it is!." The old man's hand pointed to the village in front of him, "It was originally our village, but now it is occupied by those beasts of the Japanese reclamation group, and they all live there!" ”！ ~！
