Around the riverside Shozo, there were also Ichigawa Yoshiji, the commander of the 12th Division, Yukio Kasahara, and the commander of the 44th Division, Torota Sano and other senior generals of the devils, frowning and eating canned food and rice balls with a sour smell. After the defeat in the previous battle of Burma, Hebian Shozo had no choice but to lead his troops to break through and plunge into the primeval jungle of the Bunlong Mountains for hundreds of kilometers. But it is not the glorious avenue that greets the devil, but a road of no return.

The Tiger Ben special forces, who had long been ambushed in the Benlong Mountain Range, ruthlessly intercepted and sniped all the way, and they would not have given them a chance to escape from the ascension easily. Under the never-ending pursuit and attack, the little devils went all the way to their deaths, and almost fell into a complete collapse in just a few days. In view of this situation, the Japanese Emperor Hirohito "opened his brain" and instead ordered the 19th Army to establish a guerrilla base in the Honlong Mountain Range and wait for reinforcements.

Later, after some hard work, the 19th Army of the devils established a relatively stable defense line in the Benlong Mountains, but just when the old devils such as Zhengsan by the river thought that they could be obscene for a few months or even half a year, a fire directly smashed the wishful thinking of the devils. With the ubiquitous caves and intricate cave system of the Benlong Mountains, the old devils survived and survived the long encirclement and suppression.

Luckily they are still alive, but unfortunately, they are now more miserable alive than dead, you know, they have been suffering in the endless darkness, hunger, cold, and fear for more than two months! And these devils have survived until now completely by stepping on the bones, not only slaughtering thousands of Burmese natives, taking all their already small rations for themselves, but also committing a series of heinous bestial acts against those indigenous women.

But food is always limited, and there is a shelf life limit, like rats in the depths of the intricate karst cave for more than two months, but still eat everything they can eat, including sour and smelly spoiled food. In the end, there is no other way to continue to survive except to eat human flesh from each other.

"Your Excellency Commander, we have no way to continue to hold on, if we continue like this, even if we don't starve to death, we will die of disease here!" Yichikawa Yongji swallowed the last bit of sour rice balls, leaned weakly against the cold and damp rock wall, sighed and said, "Instead of that, it's better to go out and fight with the hateful Chinese soldiers while we still have a little strength!" Kasahara Yukio shook his stinky and moldy military uniform, and said quietly: "I also agree with the chief of staff's opinion, there have been more than a dozen reconnaissance teams sent out these days, and none of them have survived to come back, which can only show that our retreat has been completely cut off by the Chinese army!" ”

Sano Tiger said bitterly: "Yes, this cave is also a dead end, and you can't get out of it if you go inside!" Instead of continuing to wait like this, it is better for us to go out and fight to the death with dignity! "Alas! Since everyone thinks so, let's do it! The warriors of the Great Sun Empire deserve to die on the way to charge, not in obscurity in this dark corner! ”

Hebe Shozo sighed, in fact, he had long wanted to die, give himself a good time, and no longer have to suffer in this environment where life is worse than death, it's just that people's survival instinct and desire to survive made him step on the last foot at the last moment! After all, the ants are still stealing their lives, not to mention a well-known devil lieutenant general, even if he has long fallen into boundless despair, but after all, there is still a trace of luck!

After a while, Kawabe Shozo asked bitterly: "Yizhichuan-kun, how many people do we have now, how many weapons and ammunition do we have?" Yi Zhichuanjun smiled bitterly: "Your Excellency Commander, in addition to a few of us, there are still 57 surviving imperial troops, weapons and ammunition, alas, don't mention it!" "Do we only have 57 Imperial soldiers left?"

Although he had long known that the 19th Army was almost completely wiped out, when he heard this, Hebian Zhengsan's heart still couldn't help but twitch, when he was full of troops, there were more than 100,000 people! Even when he led his troops to break through into the Benlong Mountain Range, there were more than 50,000 people? After all the fighting, now there is only one squad left?

"Prepare to gather troops, the Imperial Army of the Japanese Empire, if you want to die, you can only die on the way to the charge!" Hebian Zhengsanqiang stood up and turned on the pretending mode, ready to take the only remaining remnants of the soldiers, and go out to send people to a hundred! However, there is a good saying, "A good man does not live long, and the disaster lasts for a thousand years", just when the old devil was about to lead the team out to send off the head, there was a sudden burst of excited shouts.

"Your Excellency the Commander, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff, good news, great news! We've found the exit, we've found the exit! "It didn't take long for a ragged devil Shaozuo to run to the riverside with excitement." Nani? Are you sure? ”

Kawabe Shozo was about to cry in an instant, he was so excited that he grabbed the arm of the devil lieutenant and kept asking; "Did you really find a safe exit? Are you sure? Isn't this an illusion? The devil Shao Zuo nodded heavily and said, "Hai! We searched the cave for two days and finally found a waterway to the other side of the river. ......" After listening to the explanation of the devil Shaozuo, Kawabe Shozo still asked in disbelief: "With such a complicated terrain, can you still go back the same way and find that safe exit?" ”

The devil Shaozuo nodded proudly and said: "Please rest assured, Your Excellency Commander, not only have I made a good note along the road, but there are also people left behind at key points to ensure that I can return the same way!" "Great! Well done, if you can really return to Thailand safely, you have a great credit! "We really have a chance to go back alive, haha!" "Anameasu bless! Amaterasu bless! "Woo woo, these days of hard work have finally not been in vain!"

After some understanding and confirmation, the old devils such as Shozo Kawabe and Yongji Ichikawa all cried with joy, and they never dreamed that they would really be able to survive! In a large fortress on the Thai-Burmese border, Okamura Ninji and a group of devil staff officers are inspecting their masterpieces on the spot. While following along, Kimura Hyotaro lost no time in complimenting: "Your Excellency, you are worthy of being a famous general of the empire, in just a few months, we have built such a strong and solid defense system.

Now even if 1 million Huaxia Expeditionary Force comes to attack, it can only be impossible to cross the thunder pool by half a step! It's amazing, it's amazing! Okamura Ninji waved his hand with a smile and said: "Kimura-kun praised it, in the final analysis, the credit belongs to everyone, where is the thing that I can do alone!" After a pause, Okamura Ninji continued: "The Great Nippon Empire already has an unprecedentedly vast territory and a huge population, which is equivalent to having endless war resources!"

The most important thing for us at present is to digest these war resources and quickly transform them into military and economic strength, so that our great Japanese empire can truly be invincible and truly usher in an unprecedented prosperity that has not been seen in thousands of years. "What Your Excellency the General said is very true!" Kimura Hyotaro nodded thoughtfully, and then said with a fierce look in his eyes: "After the Great Japanese Empire completes its historic transformation, all opposing enemies and forces will be crushed in front of the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire, and the Chinese soldiers who dare to oppose the Imperial Army will not be let go, and all of them will die!" ”

"Don't worry, there will be this day, and it will come soon! As long as there are no mistakes in decision-making, the path of the Great Japanese Empire will be unstoppable! With a million soldiers and the "Oriental Maginot Line" on the Thai border, Okamura's confidence and confidence have also swelled. "Your Excellency, important information from Burma!"

At this moment, a devil communication staff officer took a telegram and ran to Okamura Ninji. "Nani? Is this true? How so! After reading the telegram at a glance and ten lines, Okamura Ningji was instantly stunned, what is this girl, she has worked hard and hard to defend the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and it is so solemn and grand, but others don't take themselves as a thing at all!

"Your Excellency, what's going on?" Seeing Okamura Ninji's stupid appearance, Kimura Hyotaro thought that there had been another unfortunate incident of "pretending to be forced to be struck by lightning", and hurriedly cast a concerned and inquiring look. "Kimura-kun, take a look for yourself!"

Okamura handed the newspaper to Kimura Hyotaro and paced to a guardrail. Think about it with your hands behind your back. "What? Jiang Qiang wants to lead the Asian People's Liberation Army to the North African battlefield? The Chinese army actually wanted to go to the African theater to fight the German army? "Baga, this group of arrogant and ignorant Chinese people actually want to challenge the German allies, are they full of straw in their heads?" "Yagayalu, this simply doesn't take the Imperial Army of the Great Sun Empire into account!"

After reading the telegram, Kimura Hyotaro and other devil staff officers were all angry, and they spent countless manpower, material and financial resources to build such a strong and solid defense system, you just left? Wasn't the Great Japanese Empire a busy affair in vain? After a while, Kimura Hyotaro paced to Okamura Ninji's side and asked softly, "Your Excellency General, Jiang Qiang's dispatch of elite troops to North Africa will be an opportunity for us?" ”

"Opportunity?" Okamura Ninji shook his head and said: "Jiang Qiang will never leave such a big flaw, even if they send 200,000 elites to the North African battlefield, the Chinese armed forces in Myanmar are still as high as seven or eight hundred thousand. They rely on a solid and complete defense system and superior technical equipment, and their combat effectiveness can be increased by at least two times, what can we do to conquer Burma! Kimura-kun, we have lost the opportunity to conquer Burma forever, and even if we organize the Burma Conference again at any cost, the chances of success are slim! ”

After a pause, Okamura Ningji said very seriously: "Even if the industrial base of Myanmar is developed well, there is no way to reinvent the Chinese army in a short period of time. On the contrary, the Japanese Empire is growing at an unprecedented rate, and we don't have to worry too much about the existence of the industrial base in Burma! ”

"Your Excellency the General is right." Kimura Hyotaro nodded, and then asked with some incomprehension, "Then Your Excellency General, what are you thinking about now?" How do I feel that you are not happy? Jiang Qiang was arrogant and arrogant, and even agreed to the request of the Americans to lead the elite of the Chinese Expeditionary Force to the African battlefield, which was sure to be defeated. Isn't the great weakening of Jiang Qiang's Asian Liberation Army a great piece of good news for our great Japanese empire? "Do you really think Jiang Qiang will really be defeated?"

Okamura Ninji frowned and said, "No, I'm worried about the German-Italian coalition forces in the African battlefield, maybe this feeling is ridiculous, but I'm really worried about them!" "Nani? Your Excellency, do you think that Jiang Qiang has the ability to defeat the Afrika Korps led by the famous German general Rommel? Kimura Hyotaro was very confused, if the person who said this was not Okamura Ninji, even if he didn't scold, he would roll his eyes and say a few sarcastic words:

You stupid bird, did you really be afraid of the well rope after being bitten by a snake for ten years, and regarded Jiang Qiang as a fairy? But Okamura Ningji is not only a general of the Imperial Japanese Army, but also a few outstanding among the many famous generals of the Japanese Empire, to Okamura Ningji said very seriously: "I also feel that this is ridiculous, but according to the analysis of past experience, although Jiang Qiang will always make risky and radical actions, but when did he suffer?"

Although I can't figure out where Jiang Qiang got the courage and confidence to lead his troops to the African battlefield now, I have a very strong intuition, maybe this will be a great variable! This variable could even affect the balance of power between the Axis and the Anti-Axis Alliance! "Nani?" The more Kimura Hyotaro listened, the more confused he became, and he looked at Okamura Ninji with wide eyes and said, "Your Excellency, are you really sure that it will be so serious?" Rommel is a famous German general known as the fox of the desert, and he has more than one million elite German troops under his command? ”

"It's just a gut feeling on my part, and there's no real basis for inference!" Okamura Ninji shook his head slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "Nevertheless, I think it is necessary to remind the German and Italian allies through the intelligence system that they must pay attention to this powerful opponent. Although the Axis has the upper hand and it seems that victory is within reach, we still need to maintain a sense of reverence for victory until the final victory is achieved. ”

"Hello!" Kimura Hyotaro nodded heavily, no matter what, Okamura Ninji is a general, and it is absolutely necessary to maintain a heart of awe. "We're finally back alive, woooooooooo "Ah, I can finally breathe freely in the sun!" Under the leadership of the devil Shaozuo, the cave shuttled for a whole day, and the three people by the river walked out of the intricate cave and smoothly waded through the Salween River on the Thai-Burmese border.

Coming to the other side of the river is equivalent to entering the territory of Thailand, and after continuing to walk forward for a while, the devil Shaozo who led the way in front of him excitedly shouted at the river side Shozo and the others behind him: "Your Excellency the commander, Your Excellency the chief of staff, Your Excellency the division commander, look, that is already the defense area of our Great Japanese Empire!" We're going to be completely safe soon! "Yo Si! We're really safe! Woooooo ”

When he looked at the riverside, he saw a flag of the rising Japanese army erected on a fortress in the distance, and he couldn't help crying. "Woooooooo

"Quick! Coming home soon, Imperial Warriors, forward! "Hurry up and drop! Advance! Ichikawa Yongji and the others were also so excited that they were about to cry, and after the excitement, they all began to spread their feet and run towards the Japanese fortress in front. However, Le Ji often gets sad, just when these devil soldiers think they are completely safe, but they unexpectedly break into their minefield.

Jumping up, several mines exploded one after another, and the dozen or so devil soldiers who rushed to the front were instantly blown apart, and all kinds of flesh and blood organizations were splashed everywhere. "Ahh A large pool of hot blood and minced flesh smashed over, and Zhengzo by the river, who was trotting, was suddenly frightened, and almost urinated himself.

Fortunately, this old devil is very weak, although he is also like an arrow, but his strength does not allow him to run very slowly, otherwise I am afraid that he will have been blown to pieces. "Yaga!" Removing a piece of hot intestine from the door of his head and throwing it aside, he looked back at the large piece of stump and severed arm in front of him, and Kawabe Shozo began to have stomach acid gushing again, and his abdominal cavity twitched rapidly.

Vomit! Vomit! After a while, Kawabe Shozo finally vomited out all of yesterday's overnight dinner very "luxuriously", and the fishy and unpleasant smell instantly overshadowed the strong smell of blood. Also lucky are Ichikawa Yongji and other devil generals, not because they can't run either, but because they are embarrassed to run faster than the commander, so they can only huddle around the riverside Shozo! "Help!" "Help me, I don't want to die!" The devils who were directly killed by the explosion were a hundred dead, and they died happily, but those devil soldiers who were blown up with missing arms and legs were miserable, covered in blood and in severe pain, and collapsed to the ground and wailed in pain.

"Everyone, be careful, don't run around, this is a minefield!" "Quick, raise the military flag, tell the imperial army on the other side is your own people, let them come and save us quickly!" Where did the surviving devil soldiers dare to move, the devil flag guard officer hurriedly carried a military flag, climbed a big tree, and began to wave the military flag for help.

"Nani? What's going on? Okamura Ninji, who was above the fortress, heard the movement, and hurriedly picked up the telescope hanging around his neck and looked ahead. Quick, it's our own people, and it's very likely that Hebian-kun is back, quick, quick, send someone to answer immediately! Hurry up and drop! "Through the telescope vision, Okamura Ninji suddenly found a ghost soldier waving a Japanese military flag on a big tree, and at a glance, he knew that most of it was the remnants of the 19th Army trapped on the other side of the river!" Hello! ”

Kato Shoji, the captain of the devil wing who was in charge of guarding the fortress, was also excited, and hurriedly rushed out of the fortress with a small team of devil soldiers and several medical guards. These days, dozens of devil soldiers have been received piecemeal, but there has been no news of senior generals such as army commander Kawabe Shozo and army chief of staff Ichikawa Yongji. originally thought that they were all hung up, but at this moment, they suddenly saw the military flag appear, so it is very likely that the senior general of the third rank of Hebian came back alive.

"Huh? Quick, you guys, save people! It didn't take long for Kato Shoji to lead the team to find Shozo Kawabe and the others, and when he saw the group of compatriots in front of him, his eyes immediately turned red. A whole 3 Imperial Lieutenant Generals, 1 Imperial Major General, have become so embarrassed, they are worse than the beggars on the side of the road, you can imagine how many sins they have suffered these days!

Without too much delay, Kato Massaji walked quickly to the inhuman-looking riverside Shozo and paused: "Your Excellency General, hello, I am Masaki Kato, Wing Commander of the 47th Infantry Wing of the 91st Division of the Burmese Dispatch Army!" "Kato-kun, you've worked hard! I'm Shozo Kawabe, commander of the 19th Army! Kawabe Shozo nodded in a good mood, and pointed to Ichigawa Yongji and others after reporting to his home: "This is Major General Ichigawa Yongji, chief of staff of the 19th Army, this is Lieutenant General Yukio Kasahara, commander of the 12th Division, and Lieutenant General Torota Sano, commander of the 44th Division!" ”

It stands to reason that Kawabe Shozo's military rank is two levels higher than Kato Shoji, so there is no need to be so polite and modest, and there is no need to introduce each other like this at all, but he who escaped death and suffered a lot, the pride in his heart has long been smoothed out, and there is only endless excitement and joy at the moment. "Hello Commander, Hello Shogun Ichikawa,......!" Kato Masaji's eyes lit up instantly, and it turned out that it was really a group of "big guys" who came back alive, which was great news for the imperial army, and a great credit for him.

"Hurry up and escort your Excellency the generals back to the fortress immediately!" After saluting again, Kato Massaji hurriedly roared and hurried. At this time, Kawabe Shozo asked again: "I want to know what is the situation of the Burmese army now?" Kato Shoji replied respectfully while helping Shozo Kawabe forward, "Your Excellency Commander Hui, now ......."

"Kawabe-kun, Ichikawa-kun, Kasahara-kun, Sano Jun, it's good for you to come back! You have suffered these days! "After meeting with Shozo Kawabe and the others, Okamura Ninji didn't think they smelled sour, and they all gave a strong hug, looking extremely happy and excited." Your Excellency, General! It's great to see you alive! "Hebian Zhengsan's eyes were red, and he almost cried, now he finally has food and clothing, and he no longer has to go hungry and be afraid.

It's better to die than to live, and it's really fragrant to be able to live well! After a while, Kawabe Shozo relieved himself and said with a shameful face: "Your Excellency, General, I am really incompetent, I failed to hold out until the reinforcements arrived, and the 19th Army was finally wiped out!" "Riverside-kun, you can't be blamed for this, you've done a good enough, and it's already the biggest victory for you to come back alive!"

You've worked hard these days, so go back and recuperate and recover your body. "Okamura Ninji comforted him very sincerely, and then let people take Shozo Kawabe and the others back to settle down." Baga Ya Road, this pen of blood and sea of deep hatred, the Japanese Empire will sooner or later want the Chinese army to get back ten times and a hundred times! Looking at the embarrassed backs of Shozo Kawabe and the others, Okamura Ninji was deeply stung again, and couldn't help but recall the 500,000 elite imperial army that died.
