April 16 was undoubtedly a disastrous day for the Japanese Burmese Front. www.biquge.info On this day, their only two remaining intact main divisions were almost completely annihilated. A division with more than half of the casualties and an independent mixed brigade also suffered extremely heavy losses. The Mekong defense line, which had been held for a long time, had collapsed on all fronts.

"Your Excellency, Commander, we have failed. The 33rd Division, the 49th Division, the 54th Division, and the 105th Brigade were all in retreat. The Chinese have completely occupied the east bank of the Mekong River. "The Chief of Staff, Major General Tanaka Shinichi, and Lieutenant General Hitaro Kimura with a desperate face.

At this moment, Lieutenant General Kimura Hyotaro was expressionless and didn't know what he was thinking. However, how bad the current situation is for the Burmese front, Major General Shinichi Tanaka knows that Kimura Hyotaro must know very well.

"Tanaka-kun, I see. Order all the troops to retreat to Svay Rieng. Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura sighed.

"Retreat to Svay Rieng? What about the Southern Army Command? Major General Shinichi Tanaka was stunned.

You must know that the Southern Army Command requires them to defend the Mekong defense line to the death and fight until they are a soldier. Now the remnants of the troops are retreating towards Svay Rieng, isn't this a deliberate disobedience to the orders of the Southern Army Command?

"Tanaka-kun, how many people are left in our Burmese Front now?" Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura asked.

"Deployed on the east bank of Phnom Penh, the main forces on the east bank of Kampong Cham and Hung Yu were almost lost. Now all our troops are added together, and there are only more than 20,000 people in total. Major General Shinichi Tanaka said.

"Yes! There are only more than 20,000 people. With just such a small number of troops, it's not enough to stuff the teeth of the Chinese people, right? Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura said.

Major General Shinichi Tanaka nodded reluctantly. The current Burmese Front has suffered a series of heavy losses. I am afraid that the remnants of the troops will not even be able to defeat an infantry division of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

"If we hold on any longer, there will be only one final result, that is, the entire Burmese Front will be uprooted by the Chinese people. If you can save a little seed, it's a little bit. As for the responsibility, it's all up to me. Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura said.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." Major General Shinichi Tanaka nodded. He also knew that the best thing to do now was to retreat. If they continue to fight hard, it will only cause them greater losses.

After Major General Tanaka Shinichi left, Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura brought a bottle of sake and a few side dishes to accompany the sake. The entire Burmese Front Command seems to know what is going to happen next. This created an atmosphere of sadness that permeated the entire command.

Lieutenant General Kimura Hyotaro began to drink himself, and now he is only 55 years old, and among the many lieutenant generals of the Japanese army, he is definitely not big. He has even become the commander of the Front. As long as he is a little lucky, if he gets a battle merit, he may even be promoted to the grand prize.

But now, it's all over. The Burmese Front led by him was completely lost. And as a loser, he can't escape and can't survive anymore. He needs to be brave enough to stand up and take responsibility for this failure.

Just as Kimura Hyotaro was leaning towards death step by step, all the Japanese troops on the front line received the order for Kimura Hyotaro to withdraw. This shocked the generals and officers on the front line. After all, the order given before is not retreating! These generals and officers are almost ready to die on the front line. But unexpectedly, at this juncture, Lieutenant General Tetaro Kimura gave the order to withdraw the troops. This undoubtedly gives everyone a way to live!

"Your Excellency Kimura is really a good boss! He would have given such an order. Lieutenant General Yanagida Motozo sighed.

An old fox like Lieutenant General Yanagida Motozo naturally knows what the consequences will be after Lieutenant General Kimura Hyotaro gives such an order. However, this should be the last order given by Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura to the Burmese Front. This time the fiasco, Lieutenant General Kimura Hyotaro must take responsibility for it.

"Order the remnants of the troops to retreat immediately and retreat to Svay Rieng." Lieutenant General Motozo Yanagida ordered.

As a result, the remnants of the Japanese 33rd Division, without saying a word, began to abandon the last position they held and began to retreat towards Svaycliffe. The sudden retreat of the Japanese army surprised the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. After all, the fighting will shown by the Japanese army before was very tenacious. It's very different from what we do now.

Not only the Japanese 33rd Division was retreating in disarray, but the Japanese 49th Division, the 54th Division, the 105th Brigade and the remnants of other divisions began to retreat. They were already in the middle of the battle, and they were frightened by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. The combat effectiveness displayed by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was really too strong. It was so strong that these Japanese officers and soldiers no longer had the courage to continue to fight against the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

If anything, they thought they would be able to hold out until reinforcements arrived. Now, their hopes have been shattered. Some Japanese officers even pessimistically believed that even if reinforcements arrived, it was estimated that they would not be the opponents of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. In this case, they have already lost this war.

Svay Rieng, the headquarters of the Japanese Burmese Front. Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura quickly drank up the small pot of sake. However, Cai on the table did not move. If a person is dying, will he still have an appetite?

Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura recalled his voice. As a soldier, his whole body can be said to be dedicated to the Japanese Empire. However, he probably didn't expect that this would be the end of the day.

At the beginning of the war, they attacked all directions and swept the whole world, what a majesty it was, as if Japan was about to rule the whole world. But now, Japan has begun to decline on all fronts. Especially on the Nanyang battlefield, it was forced to the point of imminent defeat by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

"I hope that the Nanyang Task Force will be able to defeat the Chinese people. Otherwise, the Dainichi Empire would have been defeated at the hands of the Shina people. Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura said.

After saying this, Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura used the rib gap that had been prepared a long time ago to complete the sacred task of seppuku. At the same time, I also used this way to understand my own sinful life.
