"Order authorization complete, plan begins!"

At about 9 o'clock in Hanjing time, General Xu Geng, commander of the 201 biochemical warfare unit, and General Huo Weiguo, the supreme commander of the theater, jointly completed the procedure of obtaining orders and authorization from the base camp, and the poison gas operation plan was officially launched.

This operation was dedicated to the name "Sakura Remnant".

As soon as the plan was launched, the order was quickly communicated to the units carrying out the operation.

More than 200 Wehrmacht fighters, including large and medium-sized bombers such as the H-3 and T-35 bombers, and even the T-42 bombers, loaded with a large number of poison gas bombs, took off from more than 20 Far East airfields under the escort of 400 night fighters of various types, and flew mightily to the areas where the Far Eastern troops were finally held.

According to the plan, Unit 201 will drop hundreds of tons of poison gas bombs by plane in batches to create initial chaos and damage, and then continue to drop them, and finally create a poison gas belt to block the escape of the main force of the Japanese army.

At the same time, another group of planes tried to bomb Sakhalin Island and parts of Hokkaido at night, trying to contain the night fighter group of Yumei and provide the safest conditions for the air group to carry out the Sakura Grass plan.

The 19th Group Army, on the other hand, not only stopped advancing, but even retreated more than 10 kilometers again to avoid the spread of the poisonous gas from an absolutely safe distance.

At this time, the Wehrmacht, which lacks comprehensive biological and chemical protection capabilities, does not have the conditions to take advantage of the chaos and assault, whether it is tanks or armored vehicles, and avoiding the front is the right way.

At home and in some parts of the world, news is spreading rapidly that the Chinese army first used poison gas on a large scale, and in some places it has even used false rumors that the Wehrmacht has suffered heavy losses, and China has vowed to retaliate against the Japanese army with more brutal poison gas warfare.

All kinds of rumors, although there are rumors in the country to refute them, the people also believe in the political axe. However, in the eyes of some foreign journalists, the squadron must have suffered heavy losses, and the so-called early knowledge of the information may be just a cover to conceal the casualties. How could they have thought that China had indeed received accurate information, and that the front-line troops were almost not affected, but instead were called troops, and self-harm was more serious.

...... "General Yamashita, our fleet has arrived!! ”

A lieutenant general of the Chinese army excitedly said to Yamashita Fengwen beside him, not only him, but also the senior officers of the Japanese army who were present, and some of the Japanese soldiers who had arrived nearby, including the Japanese soldiers who had cleaned up the temporary evacuation site, began to cheer.

Besieged by the Chinese, facing the sea on the one hand was too uncomfortable, the army had experienced almost months of desperate battlefield life, and now saw the hope of returning home, how could it not be overjoyed.

On the sea in the distance, the ships that were about to dock began to turn on their lights, preparing to approach the temporary port, saying that it was a port, but in fact, it was just a lot of trestle bridges that could allow the army to board the ship quickly.

"Report, the transport fleet reported that they had a safe journey and did not encounter a group of Chinese night raiders. At present, 150,000 troops of our army have been withdrawn to nearby areas. ”

A staff officer came over and reported.

"Did you spot a Chinese plane over the Vanino area?"

Yamashita asked.

The most worrying thing about him is the Chinese's night attack group, and God knows if the Chinese will get the information to send a night attack group to bomb the evacuated troops.

After all, in the early days of the Dunkirk retreat, when the Germans did not use large-scale mechanized troops to crush hundreds of thousands of allied troops, the Germans used aircraft to repeatedly bomb the evacuated coastal beach areas, of course, it also caused huge casualties to the Allies, although the Germans made a mistake in the use of bombs, causing the bombs to fall on the beach and plunge headlong, and the lethality was not very ideal.

But the answer he got was that a large Chinese fleet had not yet been detected, but radar had spotted Chinese planes hovering over the edge of the control zone.

"General Yamashita, maybe the Chinese are having a headache with the poison gas barrier we made. Perhaps their army suffered heavy losses as a result. ”

A lieutenant general said with a triumphant smile.

Yamashita shook his head, just now he got the news that the Chinese held an emergency press conference overnight, condemning the use of poison gas by the Yue army in the Far East on a mass extermination, and China will reserve all means of retaliation.

This is not good news, although the Chinese [***] team was blocked by poison gas is already the best news, but he vaguely feels that the Chinese's revenge may be terrible.

"Order the troops to board the ship according to the plan!"

Unable to think about it much, Yamashita had no choice but to put aside the uneasiness in his heart and ordered the fleet to start boarding as soon as it arrived. According to the report he received, the first batch of more than 1,000 ships had arrived in the open sea, but there were only a dozen or so boarding locations in this area, and the speed could not be fast, and even the ships could only dock in one place, otherwise they would be chaotic.

Although the beach where the boarding ship was cleared, it was not very open, and there were only 100,000 troops in the vicinity.

Therefore, evacuating in batches and the difficulty of retreating are also difficulties that the army must face in escaping.

Soon, the first wave of ships to arrive will board at this largest embarkation site. About a wing of the army had been lined up, and the artillery and the like were left for the follow-up troops, who carried only the simplest weapons and items.

"Board the ship!"

Thousands of Yue soldiers began to line up to board the ship, and all of them had tired smiles on their faces, and they were able to return to Yueben, although the Yueben mainland was also bombed by the Chinese, but after all, the area was larger, and it would not be dangerous in a corner of the Far East, let alone the horror of being completely annihilated overnight.

"General Yamashita, please come aboard."

Although some high-ranking officers of the Imperial Army were asking Yamashita Fengwen to board the ships first, in fact, their eyes could not stop looking at those ships, which were the greatest hope for returning to the original book.

Before the Chinese could react, perhaps the fleet would have arrived on the eastern shore of Sakhalin, and Huiben would be close at hand.

And once the Chinese react and send fighter planes to bomb and block, the casualty rate will continue to rise.

"General Yamashita, I just received the news that the Chinese Air Force is massively bombing the airfields, ports and parts of Hokkaido on Sakhalin Island, and at present the Chinese aircraft group is entangled with the night fighter aircraft group of our army, which is one of the reasons why they can't take care of us."

A staff officer of a major general happily ran to Yamashita Fengwen's side and reported.

"I hope that the Chinese are really blocked by our poison gas and turn their targets to Sakhalin and parts of Hokkaido."

Yamashita Fengwen said secretly in his heart.

"No, let them go first, I'll go later, the Chinese have been blocked, we just need to be careful of their air force and evacuate in an orderly manner."

Yamashita Fengwen didn't leave in advance, and naturally no one dared to raise the question of leaving first, and Yamashita Fengwen didn't seem to know about it, so he took a group of senior generals of the Yue Army on the top of the mountain to watch the evacuation of the Yue Army.

Said to be evacuating, now in the dark night I can't see anything clearly, but I can see some flashlight light moving towards the water, which is the army through the trestle to board the ship.

Watching the soldiers board the ship, Yamashita smiled heartily.

Soon, after only fifteen minutes had passed, a ship was already full of troops, layered on top of each other to the maximum number of people, ready to set off.

"The first ship will soon set sail back to the south of Sakhalin. According to the plan, if Sakhalin lacked landing conditions due to the bombing pursuit of the Chinese, the fleet would go directly to the Hokkaido region. ”

The voice of the staff officer came again, and Yamashita Fengwen just waved his hand to signal that he knew, and continued to look at the faintly visible escape scene in the dark night, there were many more near the same boarding location, so as to ensure that more than one million troops could be withdrawn within a week.

Ten minutes later, when the first batch of the first ships had just left the Far East and some more ships had docked, a sudden change gave the army a great deal of panic.

"Woo woo woo ......"

At this moment, suddenly, a terrible air raid siren sounded. It is a siren sound that is directly controlled by the air defense combat unit, and the radar detects the target and sounds to warn it.

"Yaga, what's going on!!" Yamashita Fengfumi's face changed drastically, and he asked angrily at the communications staff officer beside him.

Soon, several officers of the Chinese army came running over in an American jeep and reported to him, "Your Excellency, our radar has just discovered a large number of Chinese planes, and they are less than 10 minutes away from us. ”

The most important thing is that they have lost the radar station on the front line, and they lack the ability to give early warning, so they can only give an early warning in the surviving radar detection range, and the distance is not enough to respond.

"Quick, speed up and board the ship, immediately ask for help from the military department, we need support!!"

Yamashita knew that there were a large number of US and American planes over the battlefield and on the sea at this time, after all, such a large retreat operation naturally needed air cover.

Soon, however, when the sound of screeching aircraft engines came overhead, most of the soldiers could tell that it was the roar of a Chinese jet fighter.

Sure enough, an exchange of fire began in the air, apparently between Allied aircraft over the battlefield and Chinese escort groups.

At the same time, one after another behemoth bombers loaded with poison gas bombs have come to the sky above the target area, and with this area as the center, the Wehrmacht will drop more than 1,000 tons of poison gas bombs to create a disaster area of several tens of square kilometers.

What the Wehrmacht did not expect when formulating the plan was that it would be able to meet the assembly of more than 100,000 Japanese troops in the sky above the target area of the operation, and of course, the next poison gas bombing is likely to envelop more Japanese troops, but at least this is a very good start, and it is a big luck.

At this time, the personnel of the Yue army boarding the ship and going to sea were less than one wing, and the speed was too slow, and the Chinese had already come.

"Ready, start dropping bombs!!"
