Age of Conquest Reborn

Han Tie's words were resounding and full of strong self-confidence. Major General Minamino Akita, Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army's Liaoxi Region High Command and Chief of Staff of the First Army, was startled at first and took a few steps back. Then, as if he had been struck by lightning, his face suddenly changed.

Shockingly pale.

Major General Minamino had no doubt about the words of the commander of the Independent Division. On the way to the 1st Brigade Headquarters, he saw a frightening scene. Independent Division artillery positions were everywhere, with black muzzles pointing diagonally towards the sky.

The artillery was densely arrayed, all of which were large-caliber howitzers, even larger than the field artillery currently owned by the First Army.

Major General Minamino noticed that the number of large-caliber howitzers in each independent division's artillery position was at least more than 200. There was more than one such artillery position. In addition to the artillery position, a large number of tanks were also seen.

Self-propelled artillery, etc.

Heavy equipment was ready to go. He knew that this was the commander of the independent division. Before the negotiations, he deliberately showed off his force and gave himself a disincentive. Even so, it also showed that the current independent division troops were definitely capable of destroying the Kwantung Army in western Liaoning.

Chief of Staff Minamino stabilized his mind and thought very sadly, "Before coming, Commander Kashii Shiro repeatedly emphasized that this negotiation on surrender is not about the Imperial Kwantung Army's inability to fight anymore, but for the hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army

The lives of the soldiers were considered and they were unwilling to cause further killings. The condition of the negotiation was that the Liaoxi Kwantung Army troops should give up all heavy equipment, officers and soldiers, and carry self-defense weapons with them."

"Furthermore, the independent division troops must agree to allow the soldiers of the Kwantung Army in western Liaoning to return to their homeland and not to announce the surrender to the outside world. In other words, although we have laid down our weapons, we must leave Manchuria with dignity, otherwise we will not hesitate to fight!"

"Your Excellency, Commander, you are too fanciful!" Chief of Staff Nanye smiled bitterly. "The commander of the Independent Division named Han made it clear that if it weren't for the order of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli, they would not want to negotiate at all!"

At this moment, Chief of Staff Minamino realized that the burden on his shoulders was as heavy as a mountain. Commander Kashii Shiro's conditions now seem to be wishful thinking. Even so, Chief of Staff Minamino still said bravely:

"Two generals, regarding the surrender of the Kwantung Army of the Empire of Japan to your army, our conditions are..."

Before Nanye finished speaking, he was rudely interrupted by Feng Jiwu, "Nanye, if you surrender, you should have the consciousness to surrender. Don't ask me for any conditions. Our condition is that the Kwantung Army soldiers in the encirclement must surrender.

Weapons, unconditional surrender, everything is subject to the arrangements of our army. Now, you do not have the qualifications and strength to negotiate conditions, and I don’t want to waste my time bargaining with you Japanese!"

"Let me tell you something. You can only survive if you put down your weapons. Otherwise, I don't mind disobeying my superiors' orders and using artillery shells to remind you. You speak Chinese very fluently, so you should understand the meaning of this sentence.

Right. 'The general is out, and military orders are not obeyed!'"

Domineering and domineering, Feng Jiwu had no intention of negotiating with the Kwantung Army. Putting down his weapons could save his life. As for what conditions he offered, in Feng Jiwu's view, it was just wishful thinking. This was incompatible with the command of Commander Kashii Shiro, Chief of Staff Minamino.

The bottom line, far from it, was unconditional surrender, which blocked all Kashii Shiro's luck.

However, since we have come to negotiate, we should still state the conditions that should be mentioned and work hard to fight for them. What if we just go back like this? Chief of Staff Minamino made up his mind and explained Kashii Shirou's conditions in detail.

Read it again.

"Hahaha!" Feng Jiwu suddenly laughed, his eyes like knives, scratching the nerves of Chief of Staff Minano, "Minano, that commander of yours, Kashii Shiro, has lost his head, hasn't he? Or was he blown up by a cannonball?

Let you bastards who have occupied Northeast China for many years leave with dignity? Ridiculous, now I declare that the negotiations have broken down, Minamino, go back and tell Kashii Shiro that your only way out is to surrender unconditionally!"

After speaking, Feng Jiwu shouted: "Chief of Staff!"

Zhang Hansheng, who was standing next to him, was holding back a smile. He knew that this was a bluff by the two commanders, and of course he had to cooperate. He immediately took a few steps forward, stood at attention and said: "Commander Feng, please give the order!"

A smile flashed in Feng Jiwu's eyes and he said loudly: "Chief of Staff, convey my order. In an hour, the troops will launch a full-scale attack to annihilate all the Kwantung Army soldiers in the encirclement. Tell all troops not to leave any prisoners!"

We have no extra food to feed the invaders!"

Feng Jiwu's words smelled of blood. Chief of Staff Nanye knew that the two independent division commanders in front of him were definitely filled with murderous intentions. He was so frightened that sweat dripped from his face and he begged: "General Feng, Han

General, you can’t do this, please think again!”

Han Tie said slowly: "What are you considering? Commander Feng has made it very clear just now. In view of the fact that during the surrender negotiations, the Kwantung Army negotiators were without sincerity and made unreasonable demands. The negotiations have broken down. There is only one

War is possible! Chief of Staff, after the attack begins, order all artillery units to conduct bombardment for two hours. It is an all-round, full-coverage bombardment. We have enough artillery shells!"

Chief of Staff Nanye almost fainted with fright. If this Major General named Feng is ruthless enough, then this Major General named Han is even more ruthless. After two hours of shelling, I am afraid that hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army soldiers will be dead. He is considered

I completely understand that the two commanders of the independent division have no intention of negotiating at all. It doesn't matter whether they talk or not. The big deal is just a cannonball!

"Two generals, please calm down and give me a few minutes to contact Commander Kashii Shiro. After asking for instructions, I will give you a clear answer to your army. Is this possible?" Chief of Staff Minamino continued to plead.

Feng Jiwu and Han Tie looked at each other, and Feng Jiwu said coldly: "Well, I'll give you this opportunity to use our radio station to contact that Kashii Shiro and tell me and Commander Han's words intact.

Pass it on quickly, thirty minutes, you only have thirty minutes, Director of Communications, take them to send the telegram!"

"Thank you two generals for your kindness!" Chief of Staff Nanye bowed deeply. He felt weak and had a feeling of escaping from death. The few Kwantung Army lieutenants were also going to follow. Han Tie glanced at them and said to him standing aside.

Shang Jinshu, commander of the guard company of the 3rd Marine Brigade, said: "Shang Jinshu, let these little devils be honest!"

Shang Jinshu waved his hand, and more than a dozen Marine Corps soldiers came up and gave the three Kwantung Army colonels and five majors some rifle butts unceremoniously. They jumped up and down especially when they handed over the command knife just now.

The five majors, more

It was extra care. He rounded the butt of the gun and hit him, "Hold your head with both hands and squat on one side!" Under the shouts of the soldiers, eight junior officers of the Kwantung Army had no choice but to hold their heads with their hands and squat on the ground.

On the side, I feel such hatred in my heart!

Feng Jiwu took a sip of tea comfortably and asked Han Tie: "Commander Han, how are you doing?"

Han Tie replied with a smile: "It's wonderful! The power is used just right!"

"Can you surrender?"

"I can definitely do it. The turtle in the urn has no other choice but to surrender!"

"You must also be prepared for a fight. The little devil cannot use common sense to deduce!"

"I agree that fighting to promote surrender is also one of the methods! If you don't fight, it will be enough. If you fight, you must use thunderous momentum to completely dispel the luck of the Kwantung Army commander!"

After a brief conversation, Feng Jiwu and Han Tie had a tacit understanding. "Chief of Staff, order the troops to be prepared to deal with the Kwantung Army's desperate attempt to jump over the wall!" Feng Jiwu said to Zhang Hansheng.

When Feng Jiwu and Han Tie were waiting for Chief of Staff Minano to ask for instructions from Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro, the supreme commander of the Kwantung Army in western Liaoning, they were surrounded by Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro, who was surrounded by enemies on all sides. He hid in a secluded corner and planned to write to the base camp.

telegram.

In the telegram, Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro deliberately emphasized the current difficulties and huge casualties faced by the Kwantung Army troops in western Liaoning, and said that no matter what difficulties they faced, he would command all Kwantung Army troops to fight to the end and fight to the end.

To the last person.

At the end of the telegram, Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro wrote, "...there is no food and grass inside, no reinforcements outside, and the independent division has more than a million tigers and wolves watching with eager eyes. In addition, our Kwantung Army troops have completely lost air superiority. We

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Imperial Kwantung Army are trapped in a corner, and the battlefield space has been suffocated. Today, the situation on the battlefield in western Liaoning has become irreversible, and the fate of the Imperial Kwantung Army has been doomed!"

"I can't bear to talk about all these things, and the only option is to fight to the death! This is the responsibility and duty of the soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Empire. The department will fight to the end. Maybe there is a glimmer of hope to preserve a trace of blood for the Kwantung Army!"

In the telegram, Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro certainly did not dare to mention that he had sent Chief of Staff, Major General Minamino Akita, to discuss the surrender with the commander of the independent division. He knew very well that as long as the telegram to the base camp revealed that even if

Just a few words I want

The idea of ​​surrender, immediately, will bring great disaster to the local relatives and families, the factions in the imperial military circles, His Majesty the Emperor's ruthlessness, meanness and unkindness, Shiro Kashii, a senior general of the Japanese Army,

Will, it’s so clear!

Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro's original intention was not to surrender. However, at the previous military meeting, several other military commanders showed their unwillingness to fight again. In fact, it was not these die-hard and stubborn senior Kwantung Army commanders.

The generals don't want to fight, but the current Kwantung Army soldiers no longer have the courage to fight anymore. The situation is over, the morale of the army is weakened, and things can't be done!

After writing the long telegram, almost all the energy of Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro was exhausted. The humiliation and pain tortured his heart to the point that he was in a trance. A senior staff officer walked up to him and said,

They didn't notice it in time.
