Age of Conquest Reborn

The sunshine at noon in Western Liaoning is spreading its heat without hesitation. The sea surface of Liaodong Bay in the distance seems to be dancing with countless golden lights. The autumn air is crisp and clear. It is the most beautiful season of the year in the Northeast. But the Supreme Commander of the Western Manchurian Kwantung Army

The heart of Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro, commander of the First Army, was as cold as a severe winter, and the blood in his body was almost solidified. In a single thought, hundreds of thousands of brave and capable Kwantung Army soldiers put down their weapons. The shame was boundless.

Shame!

With trembling hands, he folded the telegram, put it into an envelope, and wrote "Urgent, send immediately!" on the cover of the envelope. After a few words, Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro's hand touched the pistol on his waist. Since he had chosen

By surrendering, hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army soldiers can live, but you cannot live in humiliation. Just use your humiliation and life to find a way to survive for them!

Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro was determined to die, but he exclaimed, "Your Excellency, Commander, you can't!" A senior staff officer with the rank of colonel rushed up to him and took away his pistol. He knew this colonel and was the commander of the army.

Matsuo Shiro, the senior operational staff officer, is somewhat related to him. He is his absolute confidant in the First Army.

"Matsuo-kun, why did you stop me?" Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro asked weakly.

The muscles on Colonel Matsuo's face twitched in pain, and he took out a telegram and said: "Commander, this is the telegram sent by Chief of Staff Minamino at the independent division commander's station using their radio. The above is

Commander of the Independent Division, accept the terms of our surrender!"

"Oh?" Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro rolled his dull eyes and took the telegram. After reading it, he suddenly became furious, with a sickly flush on his face, and roared: "Baga! The Chinese are bullying others too much! Unconditionally.

Surrender is impossible! Matsuo-kun, convey my order immediately, and all troops are ready to break out!"

Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro roared hysterically. He was breathing heavily, but Colonel Matsuo lowered his eyebrows and did not execute his order. "Matsuo-kun, didn't you hear my order?" His eyes rolled.

They were all red. The whole person had fallen into a state of madness. He glared at Colonel Matsuo fiercely and asked.

Colonel Matsuo sighed and said: "Commander, please calm down and break out? Is it possible? Look at how many independent division artillery positions are around us. I'm afraid they can blow us to pieces in an instant. Like this

What's the point of breaking through? The reason why the independent division troops stopped attacking is probably to give us a chance to surrender!"

"Moreover, even if you want to fight again, do the other commanders of the army have the determination and courage to continue fighting and fight to the end? With only our First Army, even if all of them are broken, what can be changed? The soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Empire, no

You are afraid of life and death, but you cannot die needlessly. Matsuo believes that the Commander also knows this, otherwise, you would not send Chief of Staff Minamino to discuss surrender!"

Colonel Matsuo's tone was as humble as ever, but his words were like a knife. They pierced deeply into Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro's heart. Yes, if he refused to surrender until death, why send Minano to negotiate?

"Could it be that our majestic Kwantung Army of the Imperial Japanese Empire, with hundreds of thousands of brave and skilled warriors, would unconditionally accept such a humiliating surrender?" Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro asked feebly, the bitterness in his heart almost overwhelming him.

Colonel Matsuo nodded affirmatively and said: "Commander, you are the clearest about the situation we are currently facing. I am afraid that we can only accept the other party's conditions. There is no time to hesitate anymore. The commander of the independent division only gives us

Thirty minutes of consideration time, the lives of hundreds of thousands of imperial soldiers are all at stake in your single thought, and Chief of Staff Minamino is still waiting for your decision!"

Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro didn't seem interested in his words, but kept rolling his eyes. Colonel Matsuo couldn't guess what he was thinking about at this time, "Matsuo-kun, you just said, Nanno is

Did you use the radio station of the independent division's troop headquarters to contact us?" Suddenly, blue light appeared in his eyes, and he asked eagerly.

"Yes, Commander, that's what Chief of Staff Minamino said in the telegram!" Colonel Matsuo answered truthfully.

The blue light in Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro's eyes became even brighter, and he then asked: "The headquarters telecommunications room, monitoring radio station, can you locate the specific location of this radio station?"

"It should be possible, there is no technical problem!" Colonel Matsuo replied doubtfully.

"Hahaha!" Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro suddenly laughed wildly, "God help me! The location of the radio station is where the top commander of the Liaoxi Army of the Independent Division is located. I gathered two field artillery regiments and more than 80 large-caliber field artillery units.

Artillery, bombard the location of that radio station, Matsuo-kun, what do you think the result will be?"

Without waiting for Colonel Matsuo to reply, Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro said hurriedly: "Matsuo-kun, please send a telegram back to Minami immediately and ask him to delay as much time as possible to buy enough time for me to mobilize the artillery. But don't say that in the telegram.

Just say that we still need to hold a meeting to discuss the conditions proposed by the commander of the independent division, so that Nanye can continue to send us telegrams to facilitate the determination of the specific location of the radio station!"

Having said this, Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro was almost extremely proud, immersed in his own fantasy, "This is the only opportunity to reverse the situation in Manchuria and Liaoxi, and it is also an opportunity gifted by Amaterasu. In one fell swoop, we destroyed the highest level of the Liaoxi Independent Division."

The morale of the command organization and its troops will be in chaos. We take advantage of the situation to break out and head straight for the Korean Peninsula. Everything will change. What is survival from a desperate situation? This is it! Hahaha!"

Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro laughed like a madman, while Colonel Matsuo stared at him dumbfounded, as if looking at an idiot. Such a look made Lieutenant General Kashii very uncomfortable, and he stared at him fiercely.

Asked: "Matsuo-kun, do you still doubt my wisdom?"

Colonel Matsuo swallowed hard, his mouth was bitter. He simply didn't know what to say to this commander who was obviously in a state of madness. After thinking about it, he still said: "Your Excellency, Commander,

This is simply an impossible plan. Our current battlefield space is only a few dozen kilometers in radius. It faces the sea on one side and is surrounded by the Independent Division troops on three sides. The battlefield is unobstructed. All our actions are under the surveillance of the Independent Division soldiers.

Among them!"

"Can two field artillery regiments and such a large-scale artillery movement be hidden from the surveillance eyes of the soldiers of the independent division? This is one, and the other is, since the top commander of the independent division dares to let Chief of Staff Minami use them to command

The radio station of the headquarters is not afraid of exposing its position, which means that the cunning commander of the independent division has been prepared and is not afraid of our artillery attack. Moreover, the enemy's top commander on the battlefield will set up his headquarters within the range of our artillery fire.

?Commander, let’s not think the enemy is too stupid!”

"Therefore, Your Excellency Commander, your plan seems to be a surprise, but there is no possibility of success. I am afraid that as soon as our artillery makes a move, it will attract a hail of artillery fire from the independent division's artillery. Then what is the point of negotiating?

?Commander, you'd better give up these unrealistic ideas! Commander of the Independent Division, give us time to consider, there are still more than ten minutes left, you must make a decision!"

Colonel Matsuo is calm, but the reality is cruel. Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro is like a deflated rubber ball. Not to mention anything else, just placing the high command within the range of the opponent's artillery fire is enough to dispel it.

All of his fantasies, if it were him, he would not do this, "Matsuo-kun, please send a telegram back to Nanye and tell him that I accept all the conditions put forward by the commander of the independent division!"

When Chief of Staff Minamino presented Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro's telegram to Feng Jiwu, for some reason, he suddenly felt extremely relaxed, as if he had escaped the shadow of death and saved his life.

Feng Jiwu read the telegram with a contemptuous sneer at the corner of his mouth. Then, with a cunning light in his eyes, he handed the telegram to Han Tie and said: "Commander Han, I don't know why, but my head suddenly feels dizzy and I feel sick all over."

It’s comfortable, maybe I didn’t sleep well, so Commander Han will do the rest for you, and I’ll go catch up on some sleep!”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Han Tie to speak or looking at the hopeful eyes of Chief of Staff Minami, he strode away. Han Tie shook his head with a wry smile, feeling contempt in his heart, "This guy is clearly unwilling to accept the Kwantung Army troops."

Worrying about surrender and blaming everything on yourself is just a poor excuse!"

Seeing Feng Jiwu suddenly leaving, Chief of Staff Nanye was shocked. He thought Feng Jiwu left in anger. At the same time, he felt a little relieved. After all, among the two top commanders of the independent division, the one who left seemed to have a bad temper.

A little more irritable, the remaining one seemed to be easier to deal with, so he cautiously asked Han Tie: "General Han, look, what's next..."

Han Tie glanced at him coldly and said: "Okay, accept the surrender of the Liaoxi Kwantung Army. In this case, you will rush back immediately and convey the order of the Independent Division Liaoxi Theater Command to all the Kwantung Army officers and soldiers in the encirclement.

1. From now on, all officers of the Kwantung Army

and soldiers, immediately put down their weapons and pile them up in a centralized manner. Secondly, they must gather at the designated location in accordance with our requirements. Thirdly, all Kwantung Army troops should still follow the original establishment, verify the existing soldiers, including the wounded, and register them in order to

Our army counts the number of prisoners of war!"

"In addition, I will send a large number of liaison officers to follow you there to supervise your surrender. Finally, all officers of the Kwantung Army at the rank of junior or above must report to the location designated by our army after gathering their troops!"

They all surrendered unconditionally, so naturally they had no bargaining power. Han Tie said the same thing, and Chief of Staff Minamino agreed. Suddenly, Han Tie changed the topic, and his fierce tone made Chief Minamino, the Kwantung Army's surrender negotiator, feel cold all over.
