The Japanese invaders, who were usually extremely active, now all had their heads drooped.
The Japanese military police patrolling the streets disappeared.
All were destroyed, including the Japanese military police headquarters.
Except for the military police who were out, no one was left behind.
Total destruction.
All Japanese troops were lifeless.
Especially near the headquarters of the Japanese First Army, you have to be careful when breathing.
No one dared to make any sound.
The most unlucky people at this moment are definitely the staff officers of the First Army. They feel that every second is as long as ten thousand years.
If the battle fails, first of all, these staff officers will take the blame.
"Snapped!"
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound.
However, a staff officer committed suicide in the next room with a southern pistol and ended his life.
No one cares.
Because he is not the first person to commit suicide. He will not be the last one.
There are also suicides where there is no sound.
Including a certain garrison captain who committed suicide with a dagger.
If you see someone come in and hand over a suicide note, it means that someone has committed suicide again. It needs to be recorded and archived.
No one found it strange.
Many people are repeatedly weighing whether they should commit suicide?
Should he wait to be ordered to commit suicide by his superiors, or should he commit suicide on his own initiative?
They are both suicides. But there is a big difference.
Being ordered to commit suicide would be a very disgraceful thing. There would not even be any compensation for the aftermath.
If you die, you will die. Worse than a dog.
If you commit suicide on your own initiative, you can still save a little honor. Your family can get a settlement fee, but the amount is not large. It will also be embezzled and misappropriated by your superiors.
As the casualties of the Japanese invaders continued to increase, more and more shady stories were exposed.
It turns out that after someone dies in battle, the aftermath expenses are very small. Half of it is deducted as a supplement to military expenses. The family can only get a very small part.
When an ordinary soldier dies in battle, he only gets 50 yen for the aftermath. Half of it is deducted, leaving 20 yen.
When an ordinary second lieutenant is killed in battle, the aftermath fee is about 200 yen. Half of it is deducted, leaving 100 yen.
What can you do with 20 yen?
Nothing can be done…
It is said that Major General Norihide Abe died in battle last year, and more than half of the aftermath fees were deducted, leaving his family with only a few hundred yen.
That's the major general!
It's a general level!
Only one general can emerge out of thousands of soldiers!
The general is still like this.
One can imagine what the consequences will be for others.
Before, many Japanese soldiers were extremely fanatical and believed deeply in serving their country. They died without regrets or regrets. Now they finally know that their deaths were worthless.
What he even brought back to his family were not ashes, but ashes from randomly burned plants and trees.
When you are victorious, everything can be covered up.
But if you fail every step of the way, all the negative consequences will be infinitely magnified.
"idiot!"
"You must take responsibility for this."
"idiot!"
Saburo Saito pays tribute.
It is not enough for a garrison captain to commit suicide.
The garrison captain is nothing more than a leftist military rank.
Just a big leftist...
Base camp won't even notice.
There must be a heavyweight who commits suicide to apologize before it can be said to be true.
At least he must be a major general.
The issue is……
The most suitable candidate is Saburo Saito.
He is the Chief of Staff of the First Army...
The rank of major general again...
There is no more suitable candidate than him.
real.
However, Saburo Saito himself did not want to die.
He knew very well what kind of treatment he would receive after committing suicide. He said he would never commit suicide.
because……
He and Norihide Abe were at the same time.
Abe Kihide died in battle, and the aftermath money his family received was simply not enough to survive. The family became poor from then on, and life was worse than death.
That was a dignified brigade commander, military attaché of the Emperor, and had been promoted to lieutenant general!
If you don't die, you will have a bright future and unlimited glory. However, if you die, you will have nothing. Even your family will have no food to eat and no clothing to cover your body.
so……
It is impossible to commit suicide.
It is impossible to commit suicide in this life.
It can only force others to commit suicide...
So, here comes the problem.
He is just the chief of staff. He has no authority to order others to commit suicide.
Only Yoshio Shinozuka has such power.
Yoshio Shinozuka is the commander.
But……
Yoshio Shinozuka is no longer a walking corpse. He no longer cares about the military.
He was wiping his sword all the time. He felt that he would commit suicide at any time. But he never committed suicide. He just wiped it like this for two or three months.
The bosses at the base camp knew about it and were too embarrassed to do anything to him.
After all, others can commit suicide at any time.
After all, he was the military commander.
If this precedent is set, everyone will be in danger.
Who knows when it will be the turn of the elders in the base camp to commit suicide.
What about the general?
There is also the Emperor above...
What's more, Yoshio Shinozuka committed suicide, what about Jun Tada? Where about Seishiro Sakagaki?
Do they also want to commit suicide?
There are still a large number of division commanders, do you want to commit suicide?
"Report……"
Suddenly, a young staff officer cautiously appeared at the door.
My voice was weak and I didn't dare to express it loudly.
"What's up?"
Saburo Saito asked slowly.
It must be bad news again.
I estimate how many more people were lost.
It is estimated that which unit suffered heavy casualties and was unable to fight anymore.
idiot!
Isn't there a little bit of good news?
Just need a little bit...
"Tuba Road fled into the mountains and escaped without a trace..."
"Nani?"
Saburo Saito was slightly startled.
Then I was happy.
It was as if all the pressure was released instantly.
Tubal ran away?
Tubal Road disappeared?
Is there such a good thing?
Ahhhh...
Ahhhh...
God Amaterasu bless you.
Those damn Tubal roads have finally disappeared.
Cheer up immediately.
"idiot!"
"We must find out!"
"How many Tubal Roads were eliminated?"
Saburo Saito shouted solemnly.
Little staff officer:......
Eliminate Tubal Road?
ah?
Has Tubal Road been eliminated? I don’t think I’ve heard of it.
But I heard that Tubal Road was very fierce. The Japanese soldiers were unable to take care of themselves and were defeated miserably...
"idiot!"
"Tubalu must have suffered heavy casualties before escaping."
"This is a great victory!"
"Immediately send a telegram to the front line. Did they wipe out a few thousand or tens of thousands of Tubal soldiers?"
Saburo Saito was furious.
Why is this staff officer so stupid? He doesn’t even understand what he means?
False reporting of military exploits!
fool!
Not even this!
At this time, if you want to survive, you must falsely report your military exploits!
Even if not one Tubal was killed, thousands or tens of thousands of Tubal were still reported to have been wiped out.
Even if the base camp is suspicious, it will not be revealed.
Because what the base camp needs is also a "good news". A "good news" that can be reported to the emperor.
The North China Front Army needs it!
China needs to dispatch troops!
Needed by all!
As for whether it is true...
Is it important?
Tubal roads are everywhere!
Many people on Tubal Road do not wear military uniforms.
"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, I am humble enough to verify this!"
A Shaozuo staff officer understood this clearly.
Saburo Saito nodded.
very good!
There are still people who understand.
really……
Soon, the front line reported that 9,758 people on Tubal Road had been eliminated.
Well, this number is very sophisticated.
Nine thousand, less than ten thousand. But it is very close to ten thousand.
The presence of zeros and rounded numbers indicates that the data has been strictly verified and is definitely not a false report.
Saburo Saito was relieved.
Youxi!
Those guys on the front line are not stupid! They understood what they meant so quickly!
very good!
Just have this data.
All high-ranking officers no longer had to commit suicide. Everyone survived safely.
