Umezu Mijiro was now full of sadness, and he already knew that he had fallen into a trap carefully laid by the Wehrmacht. ¤ Website address: 5¤ But now I know that it's too late.

In such a brutal combat environment, the troops that rushed to the positions of the Wehrmacht were all the most elite units of the Japanese army. And these elite units were all killed in the explosion caused by the Wehrmacht.

After a hard battle, the 100,000 Japanese troops who rushed out of the 38th parallel are now less than 50,000 left. And the 119th Shiozawa Division that went to Pyongyang was undoubtedly more than lucky.

"Chirp...... Rumble! Rumble!! ......"Even so, the Wehrmacht's shelling continued. They don't seem to rest until they drain the last of the Japanese army's counterattacks.

And when all the remnants of the army were gathered, Umezu Mijiro found that he could control less than 30,000 troops. What can you do with just 30,000 people?!

And these 30,000 people are not all soldiers who can fight. Many of them were seriously wounded and carried back, and when several of them were carried in front of Umezu Mijiro, he saw that the stomachs of the Japanese soldiers had been blown open.

The intestines were hanging on the belly, and the Japanese soldiers had fallen into a coma. And Umezu Mijiro wanted to pass out most at this time. This devastation made him just want to apologize for his sins......

"Umezu has been in the military for nearly 40 years since he joined the military in the 37th year of the Meiji era. The years are long, Umezu has never talked about it, and his life can be expressed as the sun and the moon. Loyalty to the Empire, loyalty to His Majesty, Umezu has never lost ......"

In this battle, Umezu also hesitated. Correct. The future of the empire is greater than Umezu's personal glory and disgrace. Despite the defeat, Umezu never regretted it......"

"Far away, fighting for the country and dying. It is the glory of the emperor's ** people! Umezu at the moment. There is no hope of survival. Only here, I wish my empire a prosperous martial arts, Your Majesty for thousands of generations! ”

"Commander of the Kwantung Army of the Imperial Japanese Army, General Umezu Yoshijiro, February 18, 1942"

By the time this telegram reached the Tokyo headquarters, Umezu Mijiro and his Kwantung Army had been almost completely destroyed. Except for a small number of troops who were still struggling on the positions of the 38th parallel, the rest of the main combat forces were all annihilated.

And it is only a matter of time before the remnants of those troops in the 38th parallel are annihilated. The last vestiges of resistance to the Wehrmacht's landing operations against Japan were also completely gone.

"Your Excellency Ishihara! I'm so ashamed......" Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura slowly stood up. He bowed deeply to Ishihara and said in his hoarse voice, "I disagree with your opinion and support this operation......"

And it turned out. You are right. Everything looks like a good cake, but in fact it hides poison......"

"It's not your fault, General Kimura......" Ishihara sighed, stood up and bowed to Kimura, "Actually. I had already stood up for myself. But since there is no conclusive evidence on hand. And the benefits of this operation are simply too great. I've always had some luck with it......"

Ishihara said with a wry smile in his heart. Maybe it's a national character, the Japanese are always full of gambling. They habitually use all their capital to fight.

And if you're lucky enough, you'll be rewarded for your gains. Of course, once you fail, you will lose everything you have.

But Japan has always enjoyed it. Even Ishihara is no exception. In fact, he had sensed that something was wrong with North Korea's movements.

But the psychology of potential gamblers still made him choose to let the War Department fight. Had he been adamantly opposed at the time, the War Office would not have been able to launch this campaign.

Ultimately. Either the Wehrmacht can only choose to lay down the 38th parallel at a huge cost. Or continue the siege while expending a large number of troops to garrison it.

But alas. Ishihara didn't hold on after all. He is still Japanese, and he still has the gambling nature of this nation in his bones. This kind of gambling has made Japan brilliant. In the end, Japan fell into loneliness.

"It's useless to say that now, what we need to think about is when exactly the Wehrmacht will launch a landing operation on our homeland......"

Hideki Tojo said with a wry smile: "This is the most serious problem in front of us, losing the elbow of the 38th parallel. They could launch a landing operation at any point along our coastline......"

"According to the last information from our intelligence network, more than 2,000 Wehrmacht aircraft have been transferred. In short, they are now fully equipped to attack our homeland......"

"They also have a large bomber force, and although there is no exact information, we can roughly estimate that at least three aircraft carriers have entered service Chinese ......"

None of what Hideki Tojo said was good news. Everyone grimaced, listening to the news from the intelligence services.

Ishihara remained silent at the meeting, and it was rare that he did not argue with Hideki Tojo. He has now lost that interest.

"How to deal with it, this is our biggest problem......" Hideki Tojo said with a wry smile: "We don't have much fuel on our hands, according to the estimate of the Army Aviation Department." Our fuel supplies support the Army Aviation Force for up to three full-fledged operational ......"

"The production of fighter jets has also fallen sharply, and our reserves have long been depleted. Now it's almost a poor ......."

"Your Excellency, we all know the difficulties. But what we want to know more is if the Wehrmacht comes in. How much support can we hold on?! ”

Kimura Hyotaro stood up again, bowed deeply to Hideki Tojo, and said, "It's not that I want to offend, but the chief...... It makes no sense to say this......"

"We've lost everything, and all we can resist is this shell. The last thing we can do for the Empire is to burn this body out for the Empire......"

Ishihara still didn't speak, and there was no joy or anger on his face. He was like a clay bodhisattva, silent in the conference room. But everyone was waiting for him to have his say.

"General Ishihara, can you tell me what you think......" Hideki Tojo rarely used honorifics to Ishihara Waner, and a trace of surprise flashed in Ishihara Waner's eyes, and then said with a wry smile.

"You let me talk about it, but what can I say?!" Ishihara Wan'er leaned back in his chair and said extremely tiredly: "The current situation of the empire is like this, we have no choice......

"Wait for them to come, or we can drag them to death on our doorstep. Or, they will beat us outright ......"

"But it seems to me that the tiger's claim of 'Drinking Horse Tokyo Bay' may be about to come true" (To be continued............
