Chapter 204: The Japanese Army Surrenders
The Manila Five-Nation Roundtable was held very successfully, and Taizu participated in the country-level meeting for the first time, which was quite respected. The Han Emperor completely talked to him as the two giants in the Grand Alliance, which made Taizu's evaluation of the Han Emperor rise again. The two sides agreed that the Allied forces in the China Theater would accept the surrender of the Japanese army in the area controlled by the Allied forces in the China Theater, and that the Japanese army's weapons, equipment, and war materials would be received by the Yan'an side.
For Yan'an, Zhong Yi did not make any requests, in His Majesty's opinion, China is the China of the Chinese, it is enough! If you want to grab land and fight for national interests, there are many places! China and Nanhua have the same ancestry, and between brothers, it is best to protect and help each other!
At the end of the Manila summit roundtable, the five countries again issued a joint statement, urging Japan to surrender as soon as possible and announcing the "five articles" of the surrender rules.
On April 27, 1941, after many consultations between Ishihara and Jiang Yunzhi, the Japanese "six generals" jointly issued a statement to unconditionally accept the "Manila Five", and Ishihara, in his capacity as chief of staff of the Japanese army's base camp, ordered the Japanese troops in all parts of the country to lay down their arms and surrender to the nearest Allied forces by May 1.
Ugaki of Kitakyushu and Seigaki Seishiro of the Seto Inland Sea, the last hope of the Japanese army in the Emperor's mouth, the Navy Ugaki and the Army Sakagaki were the first to announce the surrender of the base camp, and nearly one million Japanese troops from the two major military groups in southern Japan laid down their rudimentary weapons on the last day of April.
On behalf of the Allied forces, the commander-in-chief of the Taiwan Front, Quanguo Lin, presided over the surrender ceremony of the Japanese army in Kitakyushu. The whole loudspeaker took the command knife handed over by Seishiro Sakagaki bent over, and the Allied soldiers around him let out a tsunami-like cheer. Countless military hats and leather helmets were thrown into the sky, and those who knew and those who did not know, Han Chinese, whites, and natives all embraced together. After a brutal war, under the gaze of death, everyone understands that only their comrades-in-arms are the most reliable, and narrow national prejudices have long been thrown into the Pacific Ocean. "It doesn't matter what color his skin is, you just need to know that he will fight alongside you and pull you in times of danger!"
On May 1st, the Ishihara cluster of the Nasudake defense line in northern Japan also began to surrender, and one after another Japanese army wings walked out of the Nasudake volcanic group in rags, and after the fall of Tokyo, the Judah army quickly captured various cities on the Kanto Plain and cut off the supply lines of the Japanese army.
The surrender ceremony of the DPRK was carried out on the battleship New Bongxian of the Northern Fleet, and the commander of the Northern Fleet, Guan Canghai, specially chose the anchorage for the surrender in the waters near Bailing Island, and before the Japanese Korean Governor Nakamura Kotaro was picked up on the Bongseon, the fleet also collectively lowered the flag at half-mast and fired a salute to pay tribute to the martyrs who sacrificed their lives in the Battle of the Yellow Sea!
In the Chinese battlefield, General Nishio Shouzo ordered the Central China Front and the North China Front to surrender to the Allies nearby. The chairman of the committee also didn't care about the face thrown into the South China Sea during the Manila meeting, and ordered Chen Cheng's troops in Shanghai to march quickly, "Be sure to seize the Han army in Wuhan and recover Nanjing!" ”
If the capital is surrendered by the Han army, the chairman of the committee will probably be mad. But Jiang Guangtou's hand is obviously a gentleman's belly with the view of a villain. After Wang Yizhe's Southern Group Army captured Wuhan, the whole army went north after a short rest, and arrived in Shijiazhuang before the surrender day on May 1, and the 77th Panzer Army did not even get off the train, and rushed directly to Baoding. After getting off the train, the troops of one armored division were stationed in Yi County, and the other division drove its tanks to Zhuolu on the banks of the Sanggan River, forming horns to separate Shanxi from Pingjin.
Wang Yizhe claimed that this was to monitor the surrender of the Japanese army, but Wei Lihuang smiled bitterly.
Who are these armored masters spying on the Japanese army? This is clearly aimed at his second war zone, can he use such a big formation? This little army in his own hands, even if he adds Yan Laoxi's Jin Sui army, is not enough for Chen Shukang's three legions, do you still need the two major group armies to gather in Hebei?
No matter how the officials and men in Chongqing shout, Wei Lihuang and Chen Shukang and even the Eighth Route Army have always cooperated happily, but the more this is the case, the more Wei Lihuang knows better than others, and the army in Chongqing and the Han army are not of the same grade. Not to mention the navy and air force, which are incomparable at all, just compared to the army, how many troops is enough to fight Chongqing? If the tactics are right, twenty Chongqing divisions may not be able to stop others, right? In the ordinary army, a brigade of the 13th Han Army has more artillery fire than an army in Chongqing, how can this battle be fought? The gap between the two aspects is even greater than that of the Chinese and Japanese troops on the Songhu battlefield in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War...... Wei Lihuang, known as one of the five tiger generals, also shook his head frequently.
If General Wang Yizhe knew that Wei Lihuang had so many thoughts in his heart, he would definitely think it was too funny, but the people in Chongqing were like that, they liked to think a lot. In their opinion, Japan's surrender was the best opportunity to grab territory, but they didn't know that His Majesty had never taken Chongqing to heart. The 77th Army marched quickly, and it was really to prevent changes in the Japanese army in North China, and there was no news from the Kwantung Army for a long time, and the intelligence of MI2 also showed that the Kwantung Army was not calm inside. Wang Yizhe really hoped in his heart that the guys in the Kwantung Army could make some trouble.
Wealth does not return home, such as brocade clothes at night. Ten years ago, the Northeast Army was like a lost dog that should not flee from his hometown, and Wang Yizhe still remembers the low sobbing sound from time to time in the team on the march. Everyone's eyes were on their toes, and even when the sound of airplanes came overhead, no one looked up, maybe in the hearts of the soldiers, the feeling of being killed by the bombing was much better than abandoning their hometown like this, right? In Wang Yizhe's heart, why is this not the case?
Now, "Lao Tzu is back!" "I am in Beiping, but Wang Yizhe's mind has already flown out of Shanhaiguan, Black Mountain and White Water, where is my hometown! If the Kwantung Army can really make something happen and give the Allies an excuse to fight all the way back, it will be even cooler, and it will be more refreshing to run out in the ashes at the beginning, and when they go back, they will have more face when they appear in the flames of war and gunsmoke, right?
It's just a pity that at such a time, the young marshal is not there! Wang Yizhe remembered that he had mentioned the matter of the young marshal in front of Ye Zhiqiu in front of the chief of staff several times, but the chief did not answer positively. Wang Yizhe also understands that it can be seen from the incident of Lao Yu making trouble with the "return to his hometown" flag that His Majesty still has a lot of problems with the young marshal in his heart, and the identity of the young marshal is different from these generals who lead the troops after all.
"It's okay if you don't come back, as long as our gang mixes well, Lao Jiang won't dare to look down on the young marshal. With the mind of the young marshal, to His Majesty...... Not necessarily a blessing! Wang Yizhe looked up at the busy ground crew of the Air Force on the runway outside the window, and sighed lightly, "If the young marshal has half of His Majesty, he will not lose the foundation of the marshal!" ”
The Chinese General Headquarters of the Allied Forces followed the rule formulated by His Majesty that "the headquarters should not enter the city" and set up a military airfield in the western suburbs of Beiping. The high-rise buildings in the city are for government officials to make pomp, a leading general lives in such a good house, such a tall building, are you looking for a boom or a boom? Think about it from another perspective, if the commanders of our enemies like to live in high-rise buildings, then our Royal Air Force must be the happiest.
The surrender ceremony of the Japanese army in the Pingjin area was presided over by the Yan'an side, and His Majesty strictly ordered: The Han army in China should only fight devils, and everything else is China's internal affairs, and military personnel are not allowed to participate.
This is actually quite false, not participating in internal affairs and giving Pingjin to Yan'an,? also scared the old guard and flew back to Chongqing.
"But it's cool!" Thinking about this, Wang Yizhe felt funny, thinking that after the Northeast Army followed the young marshal into the customs, Wei Lihuang was a member of the lineage, and he didn't take a look at himself, and now the feng shui is turning, but let the first guard division move in Yangquan for a while, and the "tiger general" was so scared that he went back to Chongqing to complain, "Do you say that your brother is as for you?" That's still far from Taiyuan! ”
Thinking of this, Commander Wang's black face couldn't help but smile happily, and he didn't even feel it himself, until the sound of "report" came from outside the door.
It was the staff officer of the telecommunications office who came in, and the telegram sent made Wang Yizhe smile again, "I'm afraid this is the fastest telegram in the world, say Cao Cao, the telegram will arrive!" ”
The telegram was sent by Yan Baichuan from Taiyuan, this bull who couldn't even look down on the young marshal at the beginning, and now his tone in the telegram is quite polite. even used honorifics for Wang Yizhe: Brother Dingfang!
Wang Yizhe was also stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Dingfang is his own word, saying that Nanhua is not popular with words, His Majesty doesn't like this, saying that it is feudal dross, everyone calls each other by big names, and no one calls their own words for a long time! And...... Yan Laoxi can't call himself a "brother", right? Back then, when I saw the young marshal, they all regarded themselves as elders.
Looking at the contents of the telegram again, Commander-in-Chief Wang couldn't hold back anymore and laughed. This Huo Lu is really powerful, just let him go to Yangquan City for a walk, but he didn't expect him to play an armored cluster charge outside Yangquan City, and also flattened a small hill. This tank target not only scared Wei Lihuang away, but also scared Yan Baichuan, the king of Shanxi, into calling himself a brother. This is afraid that the 1st Guards Division will charge again and drive the Tiger tank outside Taiyuan.
Holding the telegraph in his hand, he was thinking about how to call back this slippery and treacherous Yan Laoxi, when the phone on the table rang again, and Wang Yizhe reached out to pick it up...... Yes, Yan Laoxi went to the doctor when he was sick, and the telegram just arrived, and the lobbyist arrived again.
The call was from the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, who was presiding over the surrender ceremony of the Japanese army in Beiping, and the boss's voice on the phone was quite loud, and the thick Sichuan accent was also funny about Yan Laoxi's fuss, "Yan Baichuan asked me to ask General Wang to release Shanxi as a horse, and said that he and Chongqing were just inseparable, and supported Jiang and rejected Jiang." ”
After being polite and putting a few words with the boss, Wang Yizhe put down the phone, of course, such a thing is not the right of the Allied Command to decide, it is the work of the Imperial Foreign Minister. "Soldiers don't do politics, professional work must be done by professionals!" This is what His Majesty often says on the corner of his mouth, and of course Wang Yizhe will not make this impulse.
"Embrace Jiang and reject Jiang?" His Majesty received a telegram from the Chinese side and muttered to himself, "Nima is still anti-Japanese and Japanese, and the United Communist Party is anti-communist......
"Don't swear, the baby will hear it!" Qin Yingxue's big eyes rolled her majesty fiercely, in the minds of expectant mothers, no national major event is as important as prenatal education for the baby.
