"A breath of wind calls for distant memories

A few puffy clouds adorn the green of life

The earliest breath passes through the moving beauty

The first beauty is here

Hometown~~~ Hometown

The most beautiful place in my heart

The footsteps away from home are drifting away

The simple vernacular is still clear and ......"

……

The fresh and melodious sound of music resounded in Nishio Shouzo's office, and if you are knowledgeable, you will definitely be able to hear that this is the famous work "The Original Scenery of the Hometown" by the later Japanese ocarina master Sojiro, through this song, even people who do not understand music, it seems to see a beautiful river and a quiet valley...... And those who have a little attainment will definitely be captivated by this song at the first time. Because, the artistic conception of this piece has gone beyond the music itself. From it, they can hear the vitality, hear the loneliness, hear the sadness, and the player uses the heartfelt musical emotions to express his feelings for all things in nature and the mountains and rivers through the fresh and melodious ocarina.

Nishio Shouzo was immediately moved by this music.

"Just like the 'self-purity' of Zen Buddhism, there is something from the void, like the purity of the lotus flower, far away from the hustle and bustle!"

At the end of the song, Nishio Shouzo still squinted his eyes, and couldn't help but reminisce about what he had just felt.

"It's really a classic track that I've never heard before, far better than the ones I've ever heard. But Nishio-kun," Kenji Dohihara was also thinking about the music just now, but his face was extremely heavy: "Since the appearance of this song "The Original Scenery of Hometown", the morale of our front-line soldiers has been greatly weakened. Well, in fact, it's not just one, but also "Spring in the North", "Song of the Four Seasons", "Moon in the Deserted City", ...... are constantly demoralizing our soldiers. ”

"The Chinese are becoming more and more incomprehensible." Nishio Shouzo sighed slightly, "I've heard all these tunes you said. It's all wonderful, and I can't help but miss my hometown and my life in Japan. And the most important thing is that in addition to "The Original Scenery of Hometown", these songs are all sung in Japanese, and "Moon in the Deserted City" is just that, it is the work of Tataro Takihim, which has a history of several decades, but "Spring in the North" and "Song of the Four Seasons", which are also classic songs, who made them? The Chinese actually thought of this tactic to undermine our morale. It's very different from what they've always done. ”

"According to the inference, this tactic should come from the political department under Chiang Kai-shek." Kenji Dohihara said in a deep voice: "There are the best artists in all of China gathered there, and there are the communists who are best at propaganda to promote it, so ......"

"Nope." Nishio Shouzo shook his head directly. "The music is completely different from what we are used to hearing. Although Chiang Kai-shek's political department brought together some of China's best artists, it was because they were so good. So their styles have all been decided. But. Who do you think can make such beautiful and heartwarming music? Most importantly, these songs are also in Japanese. How can we write something that goes straight to our hearts without having lived in Japan for decades and has not been immersed in Japanese culture for a long time? I know that many of those people have lived in Japan, but. I still don't think they can do that. What's more, this time the music that appeared was not just these few songs, but appeared in large quantities...... The song "Keep the Roots" that Taiwan is strictly banning, and "My Chinese Heart" that overseas Chinese are singing. There is also "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" sung by their soldiers on the front line, plus "My Motherland" that appeared at Wang Jingwei's inauguration ceremony some time ago...... Do you think Chiang Kai-shek's men have the ability to create so many classics all of a sudden? ”

"Nope." Although Kenji Dohihara wanted to nod his head, what Nishio Shouzo said was very reasonable. Not to mention Chiang Kai-shek, who was in a difficult situation, even those European and American powers who were idle and had nothing to do, even if they brought in all the people who were engaged in music and creation from all over the country, it would be impossible to create so many classics in a short period of time.

"We have one more very formidable enemy." Nishio Shouzo sighed lightly, touched the folds on his face that had deepened a lot, "Tuhihara-kun, do you know the way?" The base camp has deliberately removed me from the post of commander of the dispatch force. ”

"What?" Rao is Kenji Dohihara has deep roots in the Japanese army, and his hands and eyes are all over the sky, and he was also shocked by this news. Because he had never heard anything like this, "Who is it?" Why do you want to get rid of you? ”

"They thought I was too indulgent to Okamura Ninji and agreed that he would only use the strength of three divisions to attack the Nanchang line, where the Chinese had accumulated heavy troops, but now? Okamura Ninji was already under siege, with the 101st and 106th Divisions, as well as the 6th Division, all losing more than half...... Luo Zhuoying's more than 20 divisions surrounded them under the city of Nanchang...... And the amount of force we sent to support was also unable to arrive in time because the Nanxun Railway was blown up by the Chinese Air Force. ”

"Okamura Ninji will definitely be able to hold out until reinforcements arrive." Soil fertilizer original road.

"If the Sixth Division hadn't been detonated by a bomb from the Chinese Air Force during the attack, I would have dared to say that, but now, eh, ......," Nishio Shouzo let out a long sigh. The Battle of Nanchang organized by Okamura Ninji originally seemed to be a good one, except for the fact that there were some problems in using the 101st and 106th divisions, which had been frequently defeated after entering the Chinese battlefield, as the main force, the other arrangements could be said to be seamless. In particular, the concentrated use of heavy artillery and tank armored vehicles gave him a feeling of "fearful in the future". And this is indeed the case, at the beginning of the battle, under the concentrated force of heavy artillery and tank armored vehicles, the two main divisions easily broke through the defense line set up by the Kuomintang army in Xiushui and occupied Fengxincheng. At the same time, the 6th Division launched an attack from the north bank of Xiushui to the west, and although it was stubbornly resisted by the Chinese 73rd Army and the 8th Army, after a night of fierce fighting, the 6th Division still attacked the south bank of Xiushui.

Unexpectedly, the next battle took a sharp turn.

The Chinese Air Force suddenly attacked from Nanchang and braved the fire of nearly 100 antiaircraft guns to bomb the logistics baggage of the 101st and 106th Divisions in a manner that was not afraid of death. And that's not all, the Chinese Air Force actually bombed the artillery of the 6th Division, causing a large number of poison gas bombs to explode in its accumulation. The poison gas was pervasive, which directly caused the loss of a large number of soldiers in the 6th Division. What is even more unexpected is that the Chinese Air Force actually aimed at the heavy artillery brigade and tank armored cluster that had just crossed the Xiushui River, and those guys threw incendiary bombs at their treasures, and in just two hours, more than half of the more than 250 heavy artillery pieces were lost, and the tanks and armored vehicles were almost completely burned out, and only less than 10 of them were still able to move, but what was even more terrifying was that the heavy artillery brigades also carried a large number of poison gas bombs. Therefore, although they kept less than half of their artillery under the bombardment of the Chinese Air Force, due to the spillage of poison gas and other reasons, the artillery suffered heavy losses and basically lost its combat effectiveness. And this, it is also "thankful" that the Chinese Air Force used incendiary bombs, so that a large number of poison gases were burned at high temperatures, otherwise, the heavy artillery brigade would definitely be wiped out, and there would not be even a single living person left.

Faced with such a situation, Okamura Ninji had to choose to retreat. But at this time, Luo Zhuoying suddenly launched a counterattack, and more than a dozen divisions appeared in Nanchang City and its surroundings at once, pinching Okamura Ningji under Nanchang City. At the same time, the Chinese Air Force swept up the 116th Division, which was patrolling east of Poyang Lake, destroyed the Murai Detachment, which belonged to the 116th Division, and sank a number of patrol boats.

Okamura Ninji was besieged, three divisions were trapped, and of course he had to carry out a rescue. However, when his reinforcements were advancing along the Nanxun Railway to Nanchang, it was the Chinese Air Force that blew up the railway, blocking the passage of his rapid support.

……

From the beginning of the momentum, to the sudden demise of imminent. Nishio Shouzo didn't know what to say. Not long ago, he was mocking Sugiyama Moto's incompetence and stupidity, mocking that "fool Moto" had lost hundreds of planes in the empire and lost his life, but now, he may lose three divisions in ...... In particular, if the Sixth Division were to be destroyed in this battle, the most prestigious unit in the Imperial Army would disappear forever. This is something that the base camp could not have allowed anyway.

But the Chinese apparently do not intend to stop there.

The generals who are still besieging him over there are "embattled" here!

"Actually, it's not like we can't rescue Okamura Ninji." Of course, Tu Hihara also knew the situation of Nishio Shouzo at this time. But these things happened so fast and so fast that people didn't even have time to react. In his opinion, Okamura Ninji suddenly fell into the enemy's encirclement after the initial success, which was a defeat on the intelligence side; But after that, he was trapped under the city of Nanchang and couldn't break out, which is the sin of Sugiyama Motozo. The Chinese air force repeatedly appeared at their vital points, wantonly bombing their various baggage with almost no hindrance, making Okamura Ningji unable to counterattack. It can be said that if there were no major losses in heavy artillery and various tanks, Okamura Ninji would have broken through long ago, and might have even occupied Nanchang. But now, everything is empty talk.

"What's the solution?" Nishio Shouzo raised his eyes to look at this guy who had just officially become his chief of staff not long ago, and asked weakly. It's not that he hasn't thought of a way, but he can increase his troops, and the Chinese can also increase their troops. Xue Yue, commander of China's Ninth Theater, has already entered Nanchang, and hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops in the entire Ninth Theater are also leaning towards Nanchang...... In the face of so many enemies, how many people can he transfer to save Okamura Ninji?

"Kill!" Tu Feiyuan's eyes showed a hint of fierceness, "Catch the Chinese people in the past and force Luo Zhuoying to open a hole in the encirclement!" (To be continued......)
