Under the protection of the guards, Commander Okamura Neiji of the Japanese Eleventh Army entered Wuhan in a grand manner and visited the main streets.
The buildings in some neighborhoods of Wuhan have been turned into ruins due to the destruction of the war. Groups of Chinese people are cleaning the streets under the threat of bayonets. Okamura Neji looks at the wood that is still smoking on both sides of the street, and a look of emotion appears on his face.
A smile of satisfaction. He couldn't wait for the streets to be cleaned up and then took a car to admire his masterpiece.
Since the outbreak of the war against China, has any battle been more glorious than the Battle of Wuhan? Let alone Taierzhuang. It was a shame for the imperial army. Two regiments were wiped out and the regiment flag was seized. Xuzhou used several
One hundred thousand people went to find the main force of the Chinese army for a decisive battle, but they all came to nothing, with little strategic gain. The Battle of Songhu was fought with all the strength, during which the number of troops was increased several times, resulting in more than 100,000 casualties. Such a victory
It's just like a poor tailor accidentally put together a beautiful coat, but a true military strategist would not show it off.
But Wuhan was different. Both sides of the battle invested millions of troops in an area spanning thousands of miles. After several months, after a battle of wits and courage, they finally won. As the main commander of this battle, Okamura Neiji
Ziran should be proud.
As a soldier, isn't this kind of success what you long for? And there are not many opportunities for this kind of success. Occupying Wuhan is undoubtedly a big milestone. From here, the road ahead is paved with gold. I have always been cautious.
Okamura couldn't resist the joy brought by this huge success, and he was going to get carried away today.
"Dududu..."
A three-wheeler, commonly known as an electric donkey, caught up from behind and stopped more than ten meters away from Okamura. The short and fat Miyamoto Ichiro jumped out of the car and ran quickly to Okamura Neji.
He whispered a few words next to him.
Okamura nodded calmly, and then slowly walked into a very large courtyard inside.
The main reason he inspected the neighborhood this time was to take a look at the headquarters of the main opponent Chiang Kai-shek in this battle - the Wuchang Military Commission of the Republic of China. He looked at the smashed courtyard in front of him, and after a moment of confusion he casually took a look at it.
Fighting the sword, he stepped in.
After arriving inside, he found that none of the huge courtyard and hundreds of houses were intact. There were several large craters in the courtyard, blooming towards him like plum blossoms. There were abandoned waste papers all over the ground. Okamura picked up a piece of
I opened a newspaper and saw a line of bold characters written on it: The defenders will live or die with Wuhan!
Okamura threw away the contents of the magazine casually, and then laughed uproariously. The followers stood on both sides, waiting quietly for the commander's instructions. Unexpectedly, Okamura suddenly stopped laughing and turned around and left the yard.
Okamura turned around again, squinted his eyes, and looked at the setting sun hanging diagonally in the west. His eyes fell on the wooden sign on the wall beside the gate of the courtyard, and he was pointing towards the wooden sign that was more than half a foot wide and as tall as one person.
As he passed by, his attendants hurriedly stood aside and watched him carefully remove the wooden sign. He stretched out his hand and gently touched the four bold characters "Republic of China" as if he was playing with a work of art, and mouthed
Shouting: "Yo West, Yo West!"
Suddenly, Okamura Neiji raised the wooden sign, threw it heavily to the ground, then walked up, raised his right foot wearing leather boots and stepped on the wooden sign, and said word by word: "Send a report to the base camp, from
From the 15th of this month, the Chiang government has become equal to the local government!"
After saying that, Okamura Neiji once again turned to Ichiro Miyamoto, who had been waiting behind him, and said loudly: "Send a report to Major General Oshima Youran in Xianning, ordering him to hold Xianning firmly and never let the China Three Hundred Division
Go there, otherwise he will open his belly and commit suicide to thank the emperor! In addition, send a report to the commanders of Shiro Inaba of the 6th Division and Fujiji Yasui of the 2nd Division, asking them to clear the escape route of the 300th Division.
Block it, and no matter what the cost, we must eliminate this opponent who has repeatedly brought trouble to the empire!"
"Hai!"
…………
"Report to Your Excellency General, Shota Ishida is here to report!"
In a small courtyard in a small mountain village thirty miles away from Xianning County, Shota Ishida stood upright, dressed in a gray-green 300th Division military uniform and wearing the rank of second lieutenant, looking respectfully at Suri sitting in front.
For Shota Ishida, the Chinese general in front of him was his master. It was after he surrendered that he, who had always been led by others in the army, was able to indulge his addiction to leadership.
After the surrender, Su Rui gave him the rank of second lieutenant, specifically in charge of the eight Japanese soldiers who surrendered with him. Moreover, Su Rui did not treat them badly. The standards of military pay, food and clothing were the same as those of other officers and soldiers of the 300 Division.
It's the same. Although they haven't been given weapons for the time being, the Japanese surrendered soldiers are already very satisfied with this situation. What moved Ishida especially was that the day before yesterday, Su Huanrui rewarded him with a captured Japanese saber and announced his promotion.
He was a second lieutenant, which made Shota Ishida extremely excited.
There are regulations in the Japanese army that only officers with the rank of second lieutenant or above can wear command swords. Ishida probably never dreamed that one day he would be able to wear a command sword and lecture the soldiers with dignity.
As a Braku man, Ishida's original idea was to return to his poor village after retiring, and then use the little money he had saved during his more than four years of service to ask someone to introduce a woman who was also from Braku.
Get married, and like my ancestors, continue to work in a career that is considered a despicable job in the eyes of the Japanese, and live a mediocre life.
Now, this Chinese general actually made himself an officer, and also managed eight second lieutenants who were also Japanese soldiers. Ishida felt that he was so happy. Whenever he saw these few who originally looked down on him in the team,
When the soldiers were now obeying his orders, Ishida felt a huge sense of satisfaction.
Looking at Ishida Shota who was standing respectfully in front of him, Suri smiled slightly. Although he was very rude to those Japanese soldiers who refused to surrender, and could even be said to be cruel, he treated those who had surrendered and were willing to sacrifice their lives for him.
I don't mind giving them a way out.
"Lieutenant Ishida!"
"Hai!" As soon as Suri said the words, Ishida in front of him stood up and bowed.
Suri smiled, "Don't be nervous. I asked you to come here because I have a task for you to do. Are you willing to accept the task?"
Ishida said loudly without hesitation: "I am willing to serve you, General!"
"Very good!" Su Rui nodded, put on a smile and said seriously: "The task you have to complete this time is very difficult, and it may be life-threatening. If you don't want to accept it now, you can explain it in advance, and I won't blame you.
.”
Ishida quickly stepped forward and said loudly: "General, please rest assured that I will complete the mission assigned by you even if it costs my life."
Although Ishida is a Braku man who was abandoned by Japanese society, he is not stupid or gives up on himself. On the contrary, this person who grew up in the eyes of discrimination is more eager to succeed. He is eager to return to his hometown in glory in the future.
, trampling under his feet one by one those who had discriminated against him in the past.
Of course, all this has a premise, which is to go back after Japan's defeat. It's ridiculous to say that a Japanese actually longs for his country to be defeated. This sounds very ridiculous and very bloody, but that's the way it is.
In reality, Ishida knew very well that he had betrayed Japan, betrayed that government, and became a traitor in their eyes. If the Japanese government had not been defeated, he would never be able to go back in this life, nor would he be able to realize his dream.
Now when he hears that a combat mission has been assigned to him, Ishida thinks that this is what he should do. He will make all his efforts to defeat the army he served in the past.
Seeing Shota Ishida standing respectfully in front of him and showing his loyalty, Su Rui nodded, "Okay, you can go down and take your people with you immediately to report to Chief of Staff Liang. He will tell you what to do."
"Hai!"
Ishida bowed respectfully and stepped back. Looking at Ishida's back, Su Rui showed a hint of worry on his face and said softly: "I hope tonight's operation can be successful. If it fails, we will
The road ahead can only be paved with blood..."
The last ray of the setting sun set over the mountains, and the sky began to slowly turn dark. The weather in October was already a little chilly, and two Japanese soldiers stood boredly chatting at an intersection outside Xianning County.
A soldier walked over and asked: "Hey... Miura, do you have a cigarette?"
Another soldier said dissatisfiedly: "You guys, can't you buy it yourself? You always slap me."
"Who has no burden on you? I have two younger brothers and sisters to support at home. You are an only child and you have no burden. If I don't slap you, I will slap someone else." Another soldier was obviously very concerned about his companion's family background.
familiar.
"Hey... you are really smart. Even though this is the case, I still need to save some money. After all, I will be discharged from the army in two months. I still have to ask someone to find me a wife after I go back.
.”
While they were talking, the two people standing together lit up cigarettes and started puffing away at the intersection.
Taking a puff of thick smoke, the soldier from before said: "There will always be a wife. If not, I can introduce my sister to you. Then you will become my brother-in-law. What do you think, Miura-kun?"
"
"No." My companion refused without thinking. "I can tell what your sister looks like just by looking at you. I don't want to live in a nightmare in the future."
"Baga...what are you talking about? Although my sister is not a beauty, she is in good health and will be a good helper for you in the future. You will definitely not suffer any loss if you marry her."
Just when the two of them were chatting about something exciting, a burst of neat footsteps came from ahead, and then a bright light lit up not far away...
