Lieutenant General Yoshiki Hirano, commander of the Seventh Army of the Japanese Army, was so angry that he was so angry that he could not describe the complexities of the fire, which were so intertwined that even though more than 60,000 American soldiers were beaten by the heroic soldiers of the Imperial Army, there were less than 5,000 left, and they were surrounded by a mountainous area within a radius of only 20 kilometers.

He couldn't understand, and he couldn't figure it out, how could the US Second Army, which had been beaten half-dead since the landing on Hawaii Island, dare to launch a decisive counterattack against the more than 100,000 imperial troops that were strong and ready to fight with weak troops, and moreover, it was to rush ahead of the three-dimensional attack of the combined ground and air forces and the infantry, artillery, tank, and air forces that it had carefully prepared.

Embarrassed, with great fanfare, more than 20 reporters were invited from the mainland, and they originally needed the domestic media to witness their own command ability and the combat effectiveness of the Seventh Army, but the Americans slapped themselves in the face of these reporters who lived by playing with the pen, who were able to turn black into white and round into square!

Moreover, in the melee of the past few days, his own troops have lost tens of thousands of people, most of which were caused by the sudden counterattack of the Americans in the early morning of July 6.

Amaterasu knows what these reporters will write when they return to their homeland. Thinking about the large headlines in the newspapers, Lieutenant General Hirano shuddered. I knew this was the case, so why did I bother to be in the limelight in the first place? Regret. The intestines are about to repent, this is called, lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot, Lieutenant General Hirano is most concerned now not about the less than 5,000 American troops who are surrounded, but how to let the reporters understand his intentions.

Miss Yumiko there. There is no problem at all, this coquettish beauty, after tasting her own majestic style on the couch. I was already deeply infatuated with myself, and I said to myself clearly, "Hirano-kun, after I go back." Apply to the newspaper now. Become a front-line correspondent stationed in the Seventh Army, and at that time, we can stay together for a long time!

However, Yumiko alone can't sway the mouths of more than 20 reporters, and the newspaper she works for can't represent the domestic mainstream media, for this matter. Lieutenant General Hirano is dying of sorrow, and he even continues to enjoy Miss Yumiko. The mood of the charming body is gone!

Lieutenant General Hirano, after thinking about it for a long time, did not have a safe way, if that reporter did not have a doorkeeper on his lips and shook out the troubles of the Seventh Army, then his life in the military circles would definitely be difficult, and his future would be bleak, but he could not shoot all these reporters, and when he was thinking hard, he asked Major General Nobuto, chief of staff, to discuss countermeasures.

Chief of Staff Nobuto, after listening to his boss's bitter stomach, his brows were furrowed like a ravine of soil erosion, in fact, when Commander Hirano wanted to do this, Major General Nobuto did not agree, but when he saw his boss, he was full of interest and a posture that was on his head, so he did not advise, his own words could not not work, they were still secondary, and if they didn't do it well, it would make General Hirano estranged himself.

Besides, this is a disappointing matter, as a result, things have reached such an uncontrollable point now, based on this alone, his reverence for Lieutenant General Hirano is less than half, but this matter must be solved, Lieutenant General Hirano is disgraced and falls second, but the Seventh Army has lost face, more than 100,000 troops, so that more than 60,000 American soldiers, make it unbearable, and as the chief of staff of the army, he will not be glorious!

In the face of the relationship between loss and glory, Major General Nobuto asked himself, and he could still carry it clearly, pondered for a while, looked at Lieutenant General Hirano, and with expectant eyes, Major General Nobuto said: "Commander, there is only one way to solve this matter satisfactorily!" ”

Lieutenant General Hirano's eyes lit up and urged: "Nobuyo-kun, just say it quickly!" ”

Major General Nobuto said: "Your Excellency Commander, the only way is to shut the mouths of these reporters, and the best way to seal them is to be dead, but we obviously can't and dare not do this, so the only way to avoid disasters is to give these reporters enough benefits. ”

After speaking, Major General Nobuto looked at his boss quietly, he knew that since the Seventh Army occupied Hawaii Island, His Excellency the commander, the means of collecting money are jaw-dropping, his small treasury is all from the island's aborigines, forcibly seized gold and silver treasures, and he estimated that these properties, even if Lieutenant General Hirano squandered them wantonly, he would not be able to spend them in this life, and if he came up with a way, it depended on whether he was willing to bleed!

Lieutenant General Hirano, his face was blue and pale, distressed, for these gold and silver treasures, he had done a lot of tragedy, distressed and painful, Lieutenant General Hirano was embarrassed for a while, and finally, gritted his teeth, "It's still Nobuto, this guy is right, break the wealth and avoid disasters, as long as he is still in the position of the commander of the Seventh Army, this money will come back sooner or later!" ”

So, the night before these reporters returned home, Chief of Staff Nobuto, on behalf of the Seventh Army Headquarters, was in one of the most luxurious hotels in Pearl Harbor to practice for these reporters.

Chief of Staff Nobuto, his face did not change and his heart did not beat, and he replied calmly: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is originally a military secret, and it is inconvenient to disclose it, but seeing that you have come to the battlefield on Hawaii Island thousands of miles away to report for our Seventh Army, then simply reveal that Your Excellency Commander Hirano is commanding the troops to encircle and suppress and eliminate the remnants of the American soldiers!" ”

"Therefore, I was entrusted with this banquet on behalf of the general himself, and practiced it for all journalists! And thank you all for your hard work over the past few days! Major General Nobuto is also a master, telling lies, his face did not change, there was a burst of warm applause, many reporters, took out the interview book, and recorded the words of Major General Nobuto, in fact, the reporter with a lively heart has already understood what is going on?

Commander Hirano lost face and was embarrassed to appear in front of everyone, and introduced the chief of staff, Major General Nobuto, as a shield, but since he took the benefits of others, he naturally wouldn't spoil the good deeds of others!

Major General Nobuto struck while the iron was hot and continued: "Gentlemen, as a reporter of the Great Japanese Empire, I naturally know what my responsibility is, that is, to let the people at home know that our Imperial Army troops, in the Eastern Pacific, have fought successively, and the soldiers of our Seventh Army are brave and good at fighting, and all the enemies are trembling with fear in front of the samurai of our Yamato nation! ”

Applause, and a more enthusiastic applause, and at this time, Lieutenant General Yoshiki Hirano, who was hiding in his official residence, gritted his teeth and deployed troops, he had ordered all the artillery to immediately assemble in the area surrounding the American army, and to use tons of steel to blow up the Americans who had lost face and ruined their fortune to pieces! Otherwise, Lieutenant General Hirano has this wretched spirit in his heart and can't get rid of it!

On the night of 10 July, in a cave in the middle of Hawaiian Island, Lieutenant General Harrison, commander of the US Second Army, was sending a final telegram to the Supreme Command and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, informing China that the Second Army was in a desperate situation, with less than 5,000 soldiers left, and was about to be wiped out.

In the early morning of 11 July, with an overwhelming burst of artillery shells, the area surrounded by the US troops immediately fell into a sea of fire, and the Japanese Seventh Army mobilized all its artillery and used thousands of shells to repeatedly plow and plow in an area of only 20 square kilometers, and the shells shattered the rocks and collapsed the cave where the US soldiers were hiding.

After the shelling stopped, there was a sea of crazy shouts of Japanese soldiers, Lieutenant General Harrison, looking at the remaining dozens of guards soldiers around him, calmly pulled out his matching gun, a gunshot rang out, blood splattered on the paper scattered all over the ground, the commander of the US Second Army, Lieutenant General Harrison, shot himself when the Japanese soldiers were about to rush into the cave.

The sound of gunfire for a whole month finally subsided, and the battle for Hawaii Island ended with the annihilation of the American army!

For the sake of this vanity, the empire put in the lives of more than 10,000 soldiers, more than 30,000 soldiers, became crippled, and the Hawaiian Islands campaign was delayed for five days before it ended, and Lieutenant General Yoshiki Hirano became a laughing stock in military circles, and almost lost the position of commander of the Seventh Army.

And Lieutenant General Yoshiki Hirano's practice of inviting more than 20 reporters to conduct battlefield interviews is even more of a casual conversation among the Japanese military bigwigs after tea and dinner, which can be summed up in one sentence: "Lieutenant General Hirano wanted to be in the limelight, but as a result, the Americans slapped him hard in front of the reporters!" ”

It is said that Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, who was leading the Combined Fleet and was on a cruise in the waters near Midway, did not comment too much after hearing about this, but only said meaningfully, "The generals of the army have always been like this, as expected, and I have the honor of serving the Imperial Navy!" "Snarky? Mean streak? Or seem peaceful, or both, and scold all the generals of the army in one word.

As the gunfire on the battlefield of the Hawaiian Islands subsided and the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, a total of more than 200,000 American soldiers before and after lost their lives, the two Pacific Fleets were completely annihilated, the Americans lost the gateway to the east coast, and the Japanese took control of the waters around the eastern Pacific Ocean, and the Pacific War entered a new stage!
