Chapter 193: Surrender or Not to Surrender?
"Ahh
With a scream, Okamura sat up violently, and immediately after, a sharp pain hit his brain, making him break out in a cold sweat, and at the same time made him immediately recall the previous situation: he was shot! β¦β¦ That guy really didn't take him, the commander of the 11th Army of the Great Japanese Empire, in his eyes, and actually shot at him, wanting his life...... Thinking of the scene at that time, more cold sweat gushed out from every part of his body. Since becoming an officer, he has not felt "pain" for a long time, especially since becoming a senior officer, he has not even been injured. Can ...... now He would have been courteous to Chiang Kai-shek.
"Someoneβ"
The intense pain made Okamura Ninji feel an extreme fear, and seeing the gauze on his abdomen soaked red again by the wound that suddenly got up and cracked, he just thought about finding someone to save his life quickly. However, no matter how much he shouted, there was no response. It also made him more and more afraid. There are white rooms, white quilts, white sheets...... This is obviously a ward, for what, for what is there no doctor? Even if it's a nurse, why is there no one?
"Did I just use Japanese?"
Okamura Ninji couldn't believe the facts in front of him, there must be something wrong with this. However, even if he was in Japanese, and when he heard such a hurried voice, those people should have known that something was wrong on their side, why didn't they react?
"Do these people really want to kill me?"
"No, it won't. There is no precedent for this. β
"A high-ranking general of my level, Chiang Kai-shek will definitely not be willing to kill him. He will definitely try to persuade me to surrender, and may even come forward himself. But, for what, for what, for what is there such a guy? β
Think about the man who suddenly broke into his cell and wanted to surrender without saying a word...... At first, he thought it was just a gangster. I also feel that talking to the other person will lower my identity. But he never thought that the other party would dare to shoot at him...... A general of his level, even if he goes to the battlefield, as long as he doesn't appear on the front line, the shells should go around in a twist and turn, how can that person dare to shoot? Who the hell is he? What authority does he have to do so? Did Chiang Kai-shek want to force all the Japanese officers to fight to the death with the Chinese army? Yes, those middle and low ranks, especially young officers, have always done this, but the real senior officers don't think like that.
Okamura Ninji felt that his mind was going to be messed up, and he couldn't figure it out. How could anyone come and kill themselves? Could it be that the young man's family, or some other relative or friend, had died on the battlefield, at the hands of the Imperial army, or even the troops he had once led?
"It's possible."
Okamura Ninji only felt that his eyes lit up, if it was only for this reason. I don't have to worry about any danger to my life in the hands of Chiang Kai-shek. But then, his meticulous brain immediately threw this thought out of 108,000 miles. Because he suddenly remembered the situation again...... Li!
He was sent to the scum cave before. It was Dai Li's person who went to "pick up" him.
But Dai Li followed the young man!
Seem. Dai Li was not still tied with the young man, but slightly behind!
That guy's status is higher than Dai Li?!
"This can't be, this can't ......" Okamura Ninji shook his head repeatedly, he firmly did not believe this inference, but no matter how much he denied it, his brain seemed to continue to delve into the question uncontrollably: "That guy seems to be wearing a military uniform. Yes, it's a military uniform, is he Chen Cheng? No way, Chen Cheng is also in his forties. But that guy looks like he's thirty years old at most, and at such a young age, he can get a higher status than Dai Li, which is impossible. Chinese also pay attention to seniority, so young can get a higher position than Dai Li, this is incredible? But if his status is not higher than Dai Li, how can he shoot me in front of Dai Li? The Chinese are the most particular about this kind of thing, even if it is only the difference in status from Dai Li, it is impossible to shoot me in front of Dai Li. But if you count it that way, what other young person ......"
"Ahh
The sharp pain in his abdomen came again, and Okamura Ninji was so painful that tears were about to flow. However, after shouting "come on" again, there was still no response. He wanted to get out of bed and go out to see, but the pain was so intense that he couldn't move. Moreover, he was also very afraid that his movement would cause the wound to widen, in that case......
"Baga Ya Lu!"
"What the hell is that......
Originally, it was determined that Chiang Kai-shek would persuade him to surrender, and Okamura Ninji was very calm. He always believed that as long as he fully grasped that degree and did not let Chiang Kai-shek feel that he was a particularly rigid character, he would be safe. And a general of his own level, I believe that Chiang Kai-shek will also be very patient. You should be able to take one to two years, and if you grasp it well, maybe it will be longer. In that case, the dispatch army headquarters in Nanjing, or the base camp, will have plenty of time to rescue themselves. And for such a long time, the bad effects caused by his defeat and capture should have passed, as long as he uses his imagination a little more and describes the process of being captured a little more brilliantly, maybe he will become a hero who still persists in the struggle after being captured...... Even if he can't return to the position of commander of the army group, it should not be a problem to get through the most difficult period with all his beard and tail. Even, Okamura Ninji was a little glad that he was captured. Because he is well aware of the predicament that Japan is facing now. Not to mention the economic aspect, the military aspect, it is possible to open fire with the Soviet Union at any time, and the Chinese side is pinching the veins of their war with the Soviet Union, and a large-scale counteroffensive is being brewed...... Fighting on two fronts at the same time, and facing a powerful country like the Soviet Union, would be an unbearable burden for Japan. And Chinese after the initial discomfort, the army of the Empire is no longer as unbearable as before...... Such a complex situation is deeply difficult even for a man like him, who has always prided himself on his resourcefulness. It is clearer that if one is not good, Japan may fall into the quagmire of war ten times more terrible than it is now. But now the whole country of Japan is in a frenzy, and the first war with the Soviet Union is even more promoted by the army...... Therefore, even if they knew what kind of calculation the Chinese were playing, and what kind of situation they would face, they could only silently bear this torment and try to open the situation.
Why should the base camp take revenge at any cost after the Wuhan airport was blown up by the Chinese? The emperor even appointed General Sugiyama Moto, who was about to be transferred back to the mainland, to personally supervise the battle? Because it is necessary to deter the Chinese, especially Chiang Kai-shek, who is about to move! Let that guy know that even if the empire were to go to war with the Soviet Union, the strength left in China would still be enough to crush him to death.
In addition to the retaliation of the air force, the Battle of Nanchang was also aimed at gaining a strategic advantage over China, and the attack on Guangxi was also being carried out secretly. Unfortunately, the air force's retaliation ended in the near annihilation of the entire army, and even Sugiyama Mototo and Yamashita Fumimi also lost their lives; The attack on Nanchang under his command should have been able to pull back a game, but he didn't expect it to end in failure at the end, with three divisions and a heavy artillery brigade being wiped out, and he was captured alive by the paratroopers of Chinese......
Thinking of this, Okamura Ninji felt a sharp pain in his abdomen again, and at the same time there was a sense of vigilance from the heart. He found that the Chinese were gradually regaining their advantage. This poor country now has paratroopers that the empire is not equipped with...... What else can't they have? They were even aware of the Soviet military disposition, not only in the Far East, but even about Stalin's impending aggression against Finland...... Thinking of the shock he felt when he first heard the news from Nishio Shouzo, and then looking at his current situation, he suddenly realized another more serious problem: he didn't seem to be as important as he thought.
"Could it be that Chiang Kai-shek didn't have too strong a desire to persuade me to surrender?" Cold sweat flowed down his forehead again, and Okamura Ninji's heart began to tighten: "Yes, that's a person who likes to be proud." Once you are proud, it is easy to empty your eyes. Now that he has gained advantages one after another, and knowing that the war between the Dao Empire and the Soviet Union is already on the line, he must have become very confident, so how can he care about me as a captured defeated general? β
"If that's the case, what should I do?"
β¦β¦
"Bang!"
The door of the ward was rudely pushed open, Okamura Ninji's thinking was forcibly interrupted, he raised his head, and was about to question, but he was startled by the person who broke in, and his seriously injured body actually shrank back sharply.
"You, what do you want to do?" Why is this guy again? Okamura Ningji looked at the comer, although his face remained unchanged, but he kept beating the drum in his heart...... This man is very cruel!
"It's nothing, it's just to see what you're injured into......" Qin Wei leaned forward with a smile on his face, and saw that Okamura Ningji was so "frightened" that he shrank back again, and his smile became brighter and brighter: "Tsk, I heard that you were born in less than a month, and if you didn't die at that time, you were already very sorry for your Amaterasu, and now you haven't died after being shot three times...... Your life is really not ordinarily hard. β
"Who are you?"
Okamura Ninji sat up straight with pain and asked with a gloomy face.
"You don't care who I am," Qin Wei smiled, "I just want to make an exception and ask you again for the sake of not dying after being shot three times-whether to surrender or not?" (To be continued......)
