The Japanese government’s crazy decision
The last intelligence force of the Japanese army lurking in Nanjing is the most elite intelligence personnel of this era in every aspect. (, "")..com Ishihara Kanji's order was issued less than half an hour ago
, under the cover of several intelligence officers, Ishihara Wanji, dressed as a beggar, successfully left the city...
His speed was fast, and the intelligence personnel of the Central China Field Army who had already been prepared acted even faster. Just as Ishihara Wanji slipped out of Nanjing City, the order to "prepare to close the net" was passed to every intelligence personnel in the city.
The city of Nanjing, which had been peaceful for more than half a year, once again became noisy with the issuance of orders from the Intelligence Division of the headquarters. A group of heavily armed guard troops, led by intelligence personnel, quickly rushed towards the location of Japanese intelligence personnel in the city...
..In less than half an hour, the last intelligence force of the Japanese army lurking in Nanjing was declared destroyed.
Of course, Ishihara Kanji's successful escape from Nanjing City does not mean that he has escaped the surveillance of the East China Field Army intelligence personnel. Because, every move he made in Nanjing City, including his successful escape from Nanjing City, was a result of the Central China Field Army.
It was completed step by step under the watchful eye of intelligence personnel.
Just as he was leaving the city, about a regiment of cavalry units stuck behind them like plaster. Waiting for Ishihara Wanji to lead out one intelligence network after another in the entire Central China region...
Time passed by, and Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua stood calmly in front of the map, thinking about the next action plan of the East China Field Army. A series of rapid footsteps entered the quiet office.
The excited figure of Chief of Staff Zuo Quan just appeared at the door of the office. His slightly excited voice reached Liu Hua's ears in the office.
"Commander-in-Chief, good news... Ishihara Wanji, this old devil, has been arrested..."
"With the cooperation of a regiment of Deng Hua's 7th Corps, Ishihara Wanji and more than 300 Japanese agents responsible for escorting him along the way were successfully captured in Lijiazhuang, less than ten kilometers away from Wuhan. Except for Ishihara Wanji himself
In addition to the dozens of senior agents who followed him surrendering, all the remaining agents were eliminated and no one escaped."
"In addition, according to the latest information from the Intelligence Department: With the active cooperation of Kanji Ishihara, our Intelligence Department and the troops stationed in various places decisively attacked and destroyed all the Japanese intelligence organizations hidden in Central China. It can be said that as of now
So far, the organized forces of the Japanese army in the entire Central China region have been completely wiped out by us. From then on, the Japanese army in the entire Central China region has become truly blind and deaf..." Chief of Staff Zuo Quan said with excitement.
"Well done..." Liu Hua replied with admiration.
"However, we can't be happy too early. Order the Intelligence Division to pursue the victory for me. Through the captured Japanese intelligence personnel and seized documents, and in cooperation with the Central Intelligence Department, we will strive to destroy the entire Japanese intelligence network in China in one fell swoop and bring peace to the Chinese people.
Qiankun..." Liu Hua ordered decisively.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..."
The Central China Field Army Headquarters, because of Kanji Ishihara's escape, unexpectedly achieved the brilliant result of destroying the Japanese intelligence force in the entire Central China region. Everyone in the headquarters had excited smiles on their faces.
Far away in Tokyo, Japan, in the main hall where Japanese Emperor Hirohito held an emergency imperial meeting, the faces of all the ministers who came to attend the meeting were shrouded in solemn expressions. Standing in the main hall, they were like statues.
Not sent.
Chief of Staff Ishihara Kanji may have guessed before escaping that there was more than half a chance that he would fall into the hands of the Central China Field Army again. After all, he was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops from the Central China Field Army.
Before he even started to escape, a thousand-word telegram about the current situation of the Japanese government and his own situation was written in advance and sent to the headquarters of the Kwantung Army's South Expedition Force in Wuhan. At that time, once he appeared,
Unexpectedly, this telegram will be forwarded to the domestic staff headquarters as soon as possible.
Therefore, when Ishihara Kanji was deeply surrounded by the Central China Field Army, Emperor Hirohito had already seen the farewell telegram sent by Ishihara Kanji. At the same time, he also summoned all the ministers in Tokyo as soon as possible.
Come and participate in this imperial meeting that really concerns the fate of Japan.
Looking at the silent subordinates in front of him, Emperor Hirohito, who seemed to have aged several years after receiving the telegram in just over an hour, was the first to speak:
"You are all important ministers of the empire, and the fate of the entire empire is in the hands of us. I believe you have all read the farewell telegram from Chief of Staff Ishihara. It can be said that the entire empire has reached a critical stage of life and death.
, it is a critical moment that requires everyone to work together to tide over the difficulties. Tell me, after the failure of the Sino-Japanese negotiations, what should the empire do next and how to get out of this crisis?"
"Your Majesty..." Emperor Hirohito had just finished speaking. The old Imperial Marshal who had been clamoring that Ishihara Wanji was a traitor two weeks ago was the first to stand up. Then he said with an angry face.
"In the previous imperial meetings, the veteran emphasized repeatedly that in the face of the cunning Chinese, negotiation will never solve the current crisis in the empire..."
In the face of the iron facts, the old marshal's words were immediately approved by all the ministers. Faced with everyone's gaze, especially those who lost the negotiating leader Ishihara Wanji, they were like grass on the wall, and they flattered him.
The old marshal ignored him with a fawning look, and then continued to speak.
"Although Ishihara Kanji's initial proposal was very ridiculous and almost brought the entire empire to destruction. However, from Ishihara Kanji's farewell telegram just now, I saw the change in Ishihara Kanji, which made me feel very relieved.
.That is, the Empire of Japan, which has lost the opportunity to negotiate, has the only chance to escape the fate of destruction and has a war with China..."
Although the words of the old marshal sounded very encouraging and made the solemn atmosphere in the entire hall lighten a lot. However, there were still many rational ministers with a look of contempt in their eyes, including those who had lost their competitors.
Later, Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, who already held absolute power in the Japanese cabinet.
After a brief reflection, Tojo Hideki asked directly.
"Your Excellency, Marshal, I believe you should be very clear about the situation of the Japanese troops stationed in China. It is not easy to break through the siege of more than one million Chinese elites with the help of the 600,000 imperial troops who are severely lacking in heavy firepower..."
"Even if it is not easy, we must do it... The situation in the Pacific battlefield has become increasingly bad. Without reinforcements, more than one million imperial troops and the entire combined fleet will be buried under the sea. By then, without this
There are millions of elite imperial troops. Without the combined fleet, do the 600,000 Japanese troops stationed in China still have hope of survival? Therefore, for the sake of the empire, for the Pacific battlefield, and for the 600,000 imperial troops stationed in China, we must immediately
Issue a breakout order..." the old marshal said decisively.
Although what the old marshal said was true, he still ordered the troops to break out despite knowing that breaking out would lead to death. As the Prime Minister, Hideki Tojo still had a hesitant look on his face and asked tentatively.
road:
"Your Excellency, Marshal, having said that, the strength of the enemy and our armies is clearly there... I wonder if the old marshal has any good methods that can help the 600,000 imperial troops stationed in China to successfully break through..."
Facing Tojo Hideki's rhetorical question, after a brief period of reflection, the old marshal's face quickly flashed with a fierce murderous look. Then, he said with a sneer: "Isn't there no way?"
Seeing the faces of the ministers around him, a hint of surprise flashed across his face. The old marshal changed the subject, and then he said with a solemn face: "But if you do this, the millions of people in the entire country of China will
Japanese expatriates will suffer bloody revenge from the Chinese Communist Party... By then, these expatriates will probably not survive even one out of ten..."
"Ah... there are millions of expatriates, not even one out of ten..." For a time, the entire hall immediately let out one exclamation after another. However, just when everyone was stunned and stared at the old marshal, there was a murderous look and
A decisive look had already enveloped Tojo Hideki's face. Under everyone's incredulous gaze, he spoke to the old marshal sincerely.
"Old Marshal, for the future of the entire empire and for the billions of people of the empire, even if all the expatriates in China are sacrificed, the price is worth it. Please enlighten me, Marshal, on what method can be used to make the 600,000 elite imperial troops
Successfully broke through and reinforced the Pacific..."
"Yo Xi, Tojo Army is indeed the Prime Minister of the Empire of Japan. He knows how to make choices at critical moments. I am finally relieved to leave the Empire of Japan in your hands..." As for Tojo Hideki's decisiveness, the old marshal
Said with great appreciation.
However, just for a moment, the face that was full of smiles just now was shrouded in a serious look. Then, he said:
"In China, it is not only the 600,000 elites of the Empire of Japan who are surrounded by the Chinese army, but also millions of Chinese civilians. During the breakout process, as long as the troops use these Chinese civilians as shields, I believe that with benevolence and righteousness,
The famous Chinese Army Corps, facing the imperial army's attack, had only one option: active retreat..."
"Coerce the Chinese civilians to break out together, and use the Chinese people as a shield..." A look of excitement immediately flashed across Tojo Hideki's face. Because, having been on the battlefield in China, he clearly knew that this method would work.
feasibility.
Then, facing the old marshal in front of him, he said with a grateful face: "Thank you, Marshal, for the reminder. Marshal, here, I, Tojo Hideki, represent the subjects of the entire empire, thank you for the reminder..."
After finishing speaking, Tojo Hideki did not hesitate at all, and bowed deeply to the marshal in front of him. Then, he said to Emperor Hirohito:
"Your Majesty, I believe that the Marshal's suggestion is very feasible. I suggest that Your Majesty immediately issue an edict and order all combat troops on the front line to carry out a breakout according to this plan..."
