Chapter 1169 Armageddon (6)(1/2)
"I think you all have already made up your mind... In this case, what are you still asking me to do?!" Yamamoto Isoroku lowered his head for a long time, then raised his head and said softly.
"Everyone, please stop beating around the bush. There is no way to recover from the situation. The National Defense Forces have a saying that is very true. We have tried our best. Even if we continue to fight, we have no hope of victory. We can even damage the main fleet of the National Defense Forces.
There is no power..."
Yamamoto Isoroku's mouth was full of bitterness, and he looked at Koga Peak and said: "Come down, I agree to surrender..."
As soon as Koga Mine heard what Yamamoto Isoroku said, he bowed deeply to him in silence. And all the Japanese generals in the command room all followed Koga Mine and bowed to Yamamoto Isoroku together.
Bowed deeply.
"Go...make the power clear and inform the National Defense Forces of our decision..." Yamamoto Isoroku said, rubbing his eyebrows and saying: "I'm tired, I want to stay alone for a while..."
When Koga Mine heard this, his expression suddenly changed. He knew what Yamamoto Isoroku meant by "staying alone for a while."
He was about to open his mouth to persuade, but when he saw the look in Yamamoto Isoroku's eyes, he knew that whatever he said was useless. Yamamoto Isoroku had already made his decision.
Perhaps, this result is a kind of relief for him?! He was so brilliant in the past, but now he seems so old and helpless.
"Report! The Japanese army sent a clear telegram. They agreed to surrender! And asked us to send troops to receive it!" Chen Shaokuan heard this incredible news in his command room.
For him, asking the Japanese army to surrender was more of a psychological tactic. But he never expected that the Japanese army would actually surrender!
You know, the Japanese navy has never surrendered since the war began. At most, the prisoners who were fished out after the battleship was sunk did not surrender directly on the battleship.
Unexpectedly! When they surrendered, the entire combined fleet would do this together. This was really unacceptable to Chen Shaokuan.
We are strong! This is Chen Shaokuan's true psychological feeling at this moment. Although the combined fleet of the National Defense Force and Navy has always been aiming to catch up with and surpass the Japanese Navy, when this goal was actually achieved, it caught people so unprepared.
The combined fleet of the National Defense Forces, consisting of three aircraft carriers, five battleships and more than ten cruisers, actually completely defeated the Japanese combined fleet of eight aircraft carriers, six battleships, including two super battleships, and more than thirty cruisers.
Got it!
What happened seems so incredible.
"We are strong!!" Chen Ce laughed loudly, tears of laughter came out. Every staff officer and every soldier on the National Defense Force fleet was laughing loudly.
Laughing and laughing, everyone started hugging each other and crying.
"Order the troops to receive them carefully and let them dock at Fukuoka Port first. Then come down and surrender!" Despite this, Chen Shaokuan still maintained a high degree of vigilance against the Japanese Navy.
The victory came too fast and was too incredible. This made Chen Shaokuan feel very unreal. He decided to be more cautious and never let the Japanese take advantage of the loophole.
"Yes!!" Chen Ce, with tears still in his eyes, gave a solemn military salute to Chen Shaokuan and said: "I will keep our fighter planes and fleet on alert and escort them back to port!!"
At the same time, the entire National Defense Forces front started cheering! From the Seoul headquarters to the position in Fukuoka, countless National Defense Forces soldiers were cheering.
On the Japanese side, they stopped attacking with a sullen face and retreated into their own tunnels, trying to continue resisting.
And when the news of the surrender of the Japanese navy spread back to China, Sa Zhen Binglao burst into tears. He usually paid attention to health and hardly drank, so he rushed directly to Tu Hu's home.
Without saying a word, he grabbed the Shaohu knife that Tuhu had kept in the cabinet and took a big gulp of it. Then, in the astonished eyes of Federica and others, he roared: "It's such a pleasure!!" before he passed out drunk in the living room.
inside.
Lin Sen, the chairman of the coalition government, was even more outrageous. The old man who always pays attention to his image unexpectedly danced in the conference room with tears streaming down his face. It is said that this is a Mongolian dance to celebrate victory.
But I don’t know where the old man learned it, and he jumped up in the conference room in front of all the senior officials of the United Government without any scruples.
"The mountains and rivers are magnificent, and the products are prosperous. During the Yan and Huang dynasties, the East ruled the roost! Don't give up on yourself, don't stand still, honor our nation, and promote unity among people! It's hard to start a business, remember the martyrs; it's hard to maintain success, don't just do short work..."
In the city of Yanjing, I don’t know who sang this song. Some people began to sing along with it. Throughout the city of Yanjing, there were people celebrating with lights and colorful decorations.
Some people screamed for joy, but were crying while holding wine bowls. Some people shouted "The sky will not let me down, China" as if they were crazy. Some people were ecstatic and shouted "Victory" on the streets...
The news quickly spread throughout the country, and countless people were excited to receive the news of this victory.
Similarly, Hideki Tojo, who was trying to attack the Marine Corps, also got the news. The Japanese Navy's combined fleet was completely annihilated, and three battleships, including Yamato and Musashi, were damaged. More than ten cruisers were hit.
Shen.
The remaining ships surrendered to the Combined Fleet of the National Defense Force and Navy. They are now heading to Fukuoka Port to prepare for the surrender...
"Withdraw!!" Holding the knife in his hand, veins popped out in Tojo Hideki's hand. His face was so ferocious that he seemed to want to eat people, so that no one around him dared to approach him.
The attacking Japanese divisions and tank troops quickly left the battlefield after receiving the order to withdraw. They knew that they had no chance to capture this position.
If the Japanese navy fails, then there will be no power to contain the combined fleet and air force of the National Defense Forces. Once these fleets and fighter planes rush back to Fukuoka, their attacking troops will only be targets for naval guns and bombs.
Seeing the Japanese troops receding like a tide, cheers broke out again from the position of the National Defense Forces Marine Corps. However, they did not pursue them.
On the one hand, the troops at hand were limited, and on the other hand, the Marine Corps of the National Defense Force was tired after fighting for so long. Several divisions of the Japanese army took turns attacking, which was a great test for the endurance of the Marine Corps.
Fortunately, there were still a lot of landing troops to assist in the later stage, otherwise even if the position was held, the Marine Corps' losses would have been extremely terrifying. Now that it is calculated, only a quarter of the troops were lost in battle.
The organization of the troops is still intact, and except for a few troops who suffered heavy casualties, most of them only suffered small casualties.
"Damn! We've finally withdrawn. If we don't withdraw, I'm going to fight with them personally..." Yan Chenghan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "These dogs are working hard every day, they are really afraid of people...
"
"We've already been beaten to this point, how can they do it if they don't fight?!" The adjutant next to him is an old man who has been with Yan Chenghan for many years. He smiled and said: "Commander, this is the last chance to beat us. If they don't do anything else,
If you fight hard, you can only wait for death."
"That's right... let the brothers withdraw for repairs, and hand over the entire front line to the Army brothers to guard..." Yan Chenghan lamented that this battle was really difficult to fight. How many guest roles did his Marine Corps have to play to barely hold on?
of?!
The Navy won, and the entire position was cheering. But if you pay attention, you will find that the Marines cheered and then fell down.
They were really exhausted, and the intensity of the Japanese attack was too great. It has almost never stopped for a while. Heavy artillery bombardment, mortar launches in front of positions, grenade launchers and even tank troops...
They tried their best to occupy the position. Unfortunately, their opponents were not vegetarians. After being hit hard, they had no other choice but to withdraw.
Almost everyone was shouting victory and long live. But the Marine Corps soldiers just wanted to sleep. They wanted to go back to their home port and take a rest.
They were so exhausted that they had hardly had any rest since the beginning of the landing operation. At the beginning of the landing operation, they fought to occupy the Japanese army's positions.
Then they attacked Fukuoka, and then withdrew to the landing point to make some repairs. Unexpectedly, the Japanese actually launched a combat plan against the landing point.
They had to continue to fight. They had almost no rest along the way and were engaged in high-intensity fighting. Finally, the battle was won. They could finally repair themselves temporarily...
"Malu Yelang! How can they surrender?! They should continue to fight and fight for the empire! Even if they have no ammunition, they can still crash into those Wehrmacht fleets! Even if they fail, this is a kind of courage!"
"Surrender?! What a shame! What a disgrace! These are the scum of the empire! They should be engraved on the pillar of shame for the emperor, and we should capture them and chop off their heads!!"
At the base camp headquarters, Xianyuan Gong Zairen came again without avoiding suspicion. However, he was seen yelling at everyone in the headquarters.
"What do you people do for a living?! Any plan, any attack, any preparation, it's all bullshit! Now the enemy's iron hooves have set foot on our land! They even made our troops surrender!!"
"And what are you doing?! What can you idiots do?!" Everyone who was scolded by Xianyuan Palace did not dare to say anything. Even Ishihara Wanji, who was a confidant, did not dare to touch Xian at this time.
The bad luck in the palace.
Kanin Miya Zaihito suddenly appeared in the base camp, and it was not without reason that he cursed everyone. He had just gone to see Hirohito, after Yamamoto Isoroku and others clearly sent a telegram accepting the surrender.
Hirohito was so furious that he almost drew his gun and killed Hanin Palace directly. If the old minister Saionji hadn't hugged him tightly, Hirohito might have beaten Hanin Palace to death in the palace.
Xianyuan Gong Zairen, who almost died, was naturally covered in cold sweat. After coming out, he was so angry that he chose to go straight to the base camp headquarters, grabbed everything and pointed it at their noses and cursed them.
He also thought that if any ignorant person dared to talk back at this time, he would definitely beat that person to death without saying anything. Unfortunately, all the officers in the base camp were very honest.
Even though he was already scolded by him, he was worse than a pig or a dog, but he was still able to endure it without making a sound.
"From today on, all military affairs are temporarily suspended! All operations are temporarily suspended, and the troops are ordered not to think about Fukuoka for support. Frontline military affairs will be taken over by His Excellency Saionji..."
After scolding people, Hanyuan Gong Zairen softened his tone and said to the officers in the base camp: "Your Majesty has decided to ask Mr. Xiyuanji to go and have peace negotiations with the National Defense Forces..."
Hearing this, Ishihara Wanji couldn't help but smile bitterly. Peace talks?! This is just a fig leaf hung up for defeat. Could it be that if this fig leaf is hung up, it can cover up the fact of Japan's failure?!
Obviously, this is impossible. Japan still has to accept failure, whether it wants to or not. But Ishihara Kanji agrees with Hirohito's decision from the bottom of his heart.
It is meaningless for Japan to continue this war. Because the situation is already obvious, Japan will definitely be defeated. The difference lies in whether to defeat the entire Japan and defeat it, or to preserve the integrity of Japan and accept the defeat.
Unlike the United States, if it was the United States that invaded Japan, Kanji Ishihara would support the continuation of the war and use the war to promote peace. After all, the United States would be worried about its own manpower losses, and at the same time consider the investment in the European battlefield.
So once they find that Japan has become a difficult nut to crack, they will consider whether they should continue to fight at a high price. But China is different.
The tiger and his army are thinking about drinking in Tokyo Bay all the time. No matter how heavy the losses are, they will continue to fight until Japan surrenders or is completely defeated.
First of all, this was not in the interest of Japan, and secondly, it was not in the interest of the royal family. Therefore, Hirohito asked Saionji to take over all these matters and be responsible for negotiating the surrender with the National Defense Forces.
"Your Highness, no!" But when Xianyuan Gong Zairen announced the order, a man stood up. He saw this person bowing deeply to Xianyuan Gong Zairen and said.
"Your Highness! The empire has not completely failed yet. We still have a chance! As long as we can withstand the attack of the National Defense Forces, announce our withdrawal from the Axis Powers, and apply for mediation from the United States, we still have a chance to save the empire..."
The one who spoke was Yamada Otsuzo, the current commander-in-chief of the Japanese base camp. In fact, everyone knew in his heart that he was just a puppet. The ones who really walked the talk in the base camp were the Japanese royal family.
But as a Japanese soldier, he never believed that the war should end like this. If it did end, it should be spectacular.
"Your Highness! We still have millions of troops, as well as a large number of tanks and fighter planes! These are our negotiating capital. With these, we can compete with the National Defense Forces!"
"As long as we can block the attack of the National Defense Force for a period of time, then the Americans will definitely consider mediating." Yamada Otsuzo paused and said: "Now the Soviet Union and the United States are very hard to support in Moscow, and we need the main force of the National Defense Force to go to the Soviet Union
Support instead of spending money on Japan!"
"So, as long as we insist on fighting, the United States will choose to mediate. At least we can still have some initiative by surrendering at that time, otherwise we can only be at the mercy of others..."
Ishihara smiled, lowered his head and couldn't bear to look at Yamada Otsuzo. If the army was really wiped out, what would the royal family do to negotiate with the National Defense Forces?!
If we go to negotiate now, there will be at least millions of troops as bargaining chips. If these troops are all gone, the royal family's surrender will be irrelevant.
Moreover, does Yamada Otsuzo really think that China will listen to the United States?! If they really listened to the United States, they would not fight this war. They would watch helplessly as Japan and the United States negotiate, and then watch
To be continued...
