Age of Conquest Reborn

Seeing Commander Feng Jiwu's rhetorical question, Zhang Hansheng, chief of staff of the Niangziguan Guard Corps, was also stunned and quickly repeated: "It's the Italians who want to surrender! The leader is their top commander, named Orozzo."

"Italians! It's really interesting!" Feng Jiwu patted his head and was happy. He had a ridiculous feeling. The reconnaissance force had obtained intelligence. The Italian Asian Expeditionary Force's 100,000 troops were transferred to the front line to prepare for his attack.

position for counterattack.

The Niangziguan garrison troops on the front line were already prepared for the battle. Feng Jiwu even designed a big trap and prepared to eat 100,000 Italian soldiers in one bite. Unexpectedly, the Italians came and surrendered.

Okay, this gap is too big, no wonder he didn't react for a while.

"Hansheng, you call Jin Tieshan and ask him to send troops to escort the Italians to Shankou City!" The enemy surrendered voluntarily. This is a good thing, Feng Jiwu ordered.

That afternoon, General Orozzo, commander of the Italian Asian Expeditionary Force, took a dozen senior officers, staff, and security personnel by car to Yamaguchi City, the frontline headquarters of the left-wing offensive group.

Feng Jiwu stood on the second floor of the headquarters and watched more than a dozen Italian officers get off the bus. He couldn't help but feel happy. The Italians were also quite strange. They all had straight military uniforms, shiny riding boots, and natural demeanor. What about that posture?

Surrendering is almost like visiting a relative.

The top commanders of the Chinese and Italian armies met. Feng Jiwu looked him up and down. This Italian army general, who was well-dressed and did not have the fear or shame of a surrender, first introduced himself.

"I am Feng Jiwu, the supreme commander of the theater squadron. If you have anything, you can discuss it with me!"

General Orozo looked at it carefully. A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of this Chinese general, who was only in his thirties. He felt that this Chinese general was too young, but the iron-blooded military aura inherent in him was very impressive.

Not daring to look down upon him, he said with a smile: "Dear General Feng, I am General Orozzo, the commander of the Asian Expeditionary Force of the Kingdom of Italy. I am here to discuss the surrender of our Italian army with the general!"

"Wait!" Feng Jiwu interrupted Oroso and asked in confusion: "General Orozzo, didn't your Italian Asian Expeditionary Force come to cooperate with the Japanese army and fight with our army? Why didn't we fight a single battle?

, just want to surrender? I really want to know the reason?"

General Orozzo was not very happy and emphasized: "General Feng, first of all, let me make it clear that our Italian army has no responsibility to fight for the Japanese, and we do not want to be enemies of your army. Moreover, we are not under the command of the Japanese. Please

Please pay attention to this!"

A cold light flashed in Feng Jiwu's eyes, and he said rudely: "Then let me ask, how did the Italian army appear in Japan? And how did they display their troops in front of our army?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed in General Orozo's eyes, and he explained: "As a soldier, I can only obey. Personally, I have absolutely no intention of fighting with your team. Of course, this is a matter at the government level.

Let’s discuss in detail the surrender of our army to your army!”

Feng Jiwu smiled, but he knew in his heart that the Italians were smart enough and made a wise choice. They killed 100,000 Italian soldiers without any blood. Of course, it was a good thing that he was happy to see. There was no need to provoke them further.

Regarding the specific matters of the surrender negotiations, there were no twists and turns or disputes. General Orozzo was determined to surrender and did not want to impose any conditions. In the Battle of the North American Continent, hundreds of thousands of Italian troops were wiped out, which is a living example.

The matter of surrender was very simple. The Italian army carried all the equipment and military supplies, and in the name of launching a counterattack, passed through the Niangziguan garrison defense area, and then assembled in the area west of Yamakou City, held a surrender ceremony, handed over weapons to the squadron, and waited for the next step.

arrange.

After the negotiation, perhaps in order to strive for better treatment, General Orozo gave Feng Jiwu a big gift and pretended to be mysterious: "General Feng, I have a piece of information that I think you will be very interested in!"

"Oh?" Feng Jiwu raised his eyebrows and said, "Then tell me!" He found that he fell in love with Italians, they were very cute, and that's how it felt!

General Orozo did not hide anything, saying: "Lieutenant General Morita Takiro, commander of the headquarters of the defense zone in the northwestern part of Honshu Island, Japan, ordered our Italian army to launch a full-line counterattack against your army, and at the same time dispatched four divisions of about 100,000 people.

The troops are deployed behind us. Once our Italian army breaks through your army's position, the Japanese will take advantage of the situation and seize back their lost second line of defense!"

"It is indeed a very good gift!" Feng Jiwu said calmly: "General Oroso, I can tell you formally that because of your gift, the Italian army officers and soldiers after the surrender will enjoy the benefits.

Some prisoners of war treatment!"

General Orozo left with a group of officers satisfied. He went back to arrange the surrender and dig a big hole for the Japanese. Chief of Staff Zhang Hansheng said cautiously: "Commander, could it be that the Italians and Japanese

A trap designed by two people together to recapture Yamaguchi Castle and the second line of defense?"

"A trap?" Feng Jiwu said with a disapproving smile: "The Italians have lost their courage. How to save their lives is the most important thing. That Orozzo is very smart and knows what is the most correct choice. Besides, I have hundreds of thousands in my hands."

The army, are you still afraid of his dirty tricks?"

"If you want to trick, you also want to trick the Japanese. Han Sheng, just look at it. Deputy Commander Liu is collecting a lot of gold and silver in North America. We will also make a fortune. You have to make careful arrangements. One hundred thousand Italian soldiers,

Each one of them is a moving gold bar, and I feel sad if one of them is missing!"

"After the surrender ceremony, contact the Shipping Command of the Logistics Department. We will immediately send troops to escort 100,000 Italian prisoners of war back to the Korean Peninsula and hand them over to the left-behind command. Leaving 100,000 prisoners of war in the war zone is also a big trouble. You can handle this personally.

Keep an eye on it!"

At four o'clock in the morning the next day, on the battlefield in the northwestern part of Honshu Island, which had been a small fight for the past few days, guns and artillery suddenly started firing, and it looked like the beginning of a large-scale decisive battle. Italian troops, one after another, followed the previous agreement.

, while firing his gun into the air, he followed the road signs marked with numbers and drove towards the rear of the Niangziguan garrison position.

The frontline troops of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps also cooperated in this drama. The artillery fire was absolutely fierce. However, the shells all landed in empty areas where there were no people. The battlefield was filled with dense gunfire and smoke. It was definitely a war.

A realistic enough attack and defense battle.

"Ding ding bell!" The phone in the operations room of the headquarters of the defense zone in the northwestern part of Japan's Honshu Island suddenly rang. Major General Takashima, the chief of staff, took a few steps over and answered the phone, "I am Takashima, the chief of staff of the headquarters. What can I do?

Situation report?”

After hearing a few words, Chief of Staff Takashima showed an excited look on his face. He covered the phone receiver and said to the commander, Lieutenant General Morita: "Your Excellency, Commander, the commander of the unit behind the Italian army reported that the Italians

There was a fight with the Chinese, and the exchange of fire between the two sides was very fierce. The Italians advanced very quickly, which was unexpected!"

"What's so strange!" Lieutenant General Morita said with a wise expression: "The commander of the China Division always thought that our counterattack would be dominated by the imperial army, and the Italian army would be dispatched just in time to hit it.

Unexpectedly, this is the only chance, order the counterattack troops to follow immediately, and we must recapture Yamaguchi Castle and the second line of defense!"

A few hours later, Lieutenant General Morita was as pale as a defeated rooster, staring straight out of the window, with three words in his mind: "I've been fooled!"

Lieutenant General Morita would never have imagined that one hundred thousand Italian troops would surrender to the China Division and dig a big hole for themselves. The four fully-equipped divisions that followed followed, nearly ten

Ten thousand soldiers fell into the trap of the Chinese and were beaten to the point of almost annihilation. Only about ten thousand people escaped.

"Damn Italians! Damn Chinese people!" Lieutenant General Morita roared through gritted teeth. Then, he took matters into his own hands and wrote a telegram to Prince Zai Ren, deputy commander-in-chief of the Home Defense Headquarters, requesting punishment for this matter.

, I can’t hide it, I don’t dare to hide it, I can only report it truthfully.

As for any punishment, Lieutenant General Morita could only wait passively. One hundred thousand Italian soldiers surrendered on the battlefield, almost joining four divisions. This was such a big deal that it was natural to find a scapegoat. The only chance of recovery was to take the initiative.

To take responsibility, maybe Prince Zairen would let him go in recognition of his loyalty to serve His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan?

After receiving the telegram from Lieutenant General Morita, Prince Zai Ren was so angry that he almost lost his breath. Venus was flying in front of his eyes. His breath was blocked in his chest. He couldn't spit it out or swallow it. He was suffocating to death. For the Italians, he

I didn't expect to create any miracles, and treated Quan as cannon fodder, but I never expected that 100,000 Italian soldiers would surrender on the battlefield, and what was even more annoying was that they would dig a big hole for the Imperial Army.

Prince Zai Ren felt that he was despicable and shameless enough, but in front of the Italians, he felt that what he did was almost like a gentleman. In this matter, he could not ask the Italian Prime Minister Mussolini for an explanation.

Your Excellency, you are a complete scoundrel and villain. As for the protests and negotiations at the level of the two governments, based on the political wisdom of Prince Zain, there will be no results.

Therefore, this dumb loss can only be swallowed, and we have to consider how to withstand the anger of the emperor's elder brother and the criticism of the political opponents in the base camp. Now that the matter has come to this, Prince Zai Ren is thinking about crying. Even if you can't steal a chicken, you can't peck a handful of rice.

A terrible thing.

It is not that Prince Zaihi has not thought about punishing Takiro Morita, but even if Morita is shot, what can he do? The damage has been irreparable. The commander of the defense zone headquarters in the northwestern part of Honshu Island cannot be changed too frequently. Doesn't that mean that,

Did you employ people inappropriately?
