Chapter 825: Unprecedented Surrender

Unprecedented surrender. Under the personal command of Wang Zhen, two regiments of the East China Field Army, totaling 100,000 troops, suddenly appeared behind the Japanese army like magic soldiers descending from the sky. Until this moment, there were only 70,000 Japanese troops remaining outside Zhenjiang City.

, only to find that he was surrounded as if he had had a beautiful dream.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that in the blink of an eye, I lost contact with the Nanjing Front Army Headquarters, completely reducing myself to a lonely army...¨

Looking at the continuous enemy situation reports sent back by the reconnaissance troops in hand, I learned that the encirclement formed by the East China Field Army around me was getting tighter and tighter, and more and more troops appeared. Lieutenant General Miyamoto, as the leader of this 70,000-strong army

The supreme commander could no longer suppress the worry in his heart.

Looking at the combat staff hurriedly coming and going around him, Lieutenant General Miyamoto couldn't help but roar loudly: "Baga, who can tell me where the surrounding East China Field Army came from? Are they heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals?

No. Chief of Staff, haven't you contacted the headquarters yet? What does the communications department do... Haven't there been any messages from the cavalry correspondents sent out?"

"Hai, your Excellency, the division commander..." The division commander Lieutenant General Miyamoto looked angry in front of him. As the subordinate chief of staff, at this moment, the only thing he could do was to lower his head and say something.

Don't say anything and bear the wrath of the division commander in front of you.

However, what he didn't expect was that the more silent he became, the more angry Lieutenant General Miyamoto in front of him would become. Because, facing a group of silent subordinates, as the division commander, he had a way of punching

Hitting it on cotton makes people feel very aggrieved, but there is nowhere to vent.

Just when everyone was mentally prepared to face the greater anger of Lieutenant General Miyamoto, the appearance of a communications staff officer broke the solemn atmosphere in the headquarters in a very timely manner.

Seeing the panic in front of him, he rashly rushed into the combat staff in the war room. Lieutenant General Miyamoto immediately changed his target and prepared to vent his inner anger on the combat staff in front of him. Then, he asked loudly

.

"Baga, what happened? You are so panicked...¨"

"Your Excellency, the commander of the division, this is a clear telegram that the radio station has just received. And it was sent from Nanjing City... Nanjing City has been lost..." the combat staff quickly replied. At the same time, on the first line,

At the same time, he handed the power in his hand to Lieutenant General Miyamoto.

"Nani, the power is clearly on, and the city of Nanjing changes hands..."

"What, what did you just say? The city of Nanjing changed hands.

How is it possible that Nanjing City is the seat of our Central China Front Army Headquarters? How could it change hands..." For a time, everyone in the entire headquarters had a look of shock on their faces. And Lieutenant General Miyamoto, who was the division commander,

, with a pair of eyes that could almost kill people, and asked loudly to the combat staff in front of him. Everyone believed that at this moment, as long as the combat staff in front of him gave an incorrect answer, he would definitely not be able to escape the fate of being killed.

"Please tell me clearly, Division Commander, everything I said is true, and there is absolutely no falsehood. This radio station has just received a clear power transmission from Nanjing City. It was sent directly by the East China Field Army Headquarters through the high-power radio station of the headquarters.

Yes, please take a look at it, the commander of the division..." the combat staff bravely replied.

Lieutenant General Miyamoto quickly took the telegram and began to browse it. As time passed by, Lieutenant General Miyamoto's already frowning brows became even deeper at this moment. At the same time,

The hands holding the telegram tightly began to tremble uncontrollably.

Standing in front of Lieutenant General Miyamoto, all officers at all levels who can stand in the headquarters are, without exception, talented people with rich combat experience and observation skills. Seeing Lieutenant General Miyamoto's constantly changing face, a trace of

Doubts and worries slowly appeared on their faces. At this moment, the chief of staff asked first.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, what happened..."

While everyone stretched their necks, waiting for Lieutenant General Miyamoto's answer, a deep look of frustration quickly appeared on his face, and at the same time, a long sigh came out.

In the quiet headquarters, the words came from the mouth of the division commander Lieutenant General Miyamoto...

Seeing Lieutenant General Miyamoto's face, and then thinking about the answer given by the combat staff just now. No matter how stupid a person is, he should understand what happened, not to mention, standing in front of Lieutenant General Miyamoto is a group of people.

Refined.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, is the city of Nanjing really lost... Then, Your Excellency, Commander, how is the front army headquarters..." At this moment, a young Japanese officer with the rank of major general on his shoulders,

He quickly asked.

Seeing the anxious looks on everyone's faces, Lieutenant General Miyamoto knew that it was impossible for him to hide this matter. After all, the East China Field Army sent out clear power, and in his own troops, all the brigade

All headquarters at the above level are equipped with radio stations. In other words, so far, this news has spread at least among the officers at the brigade level and above.

Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Miyamoto could only shake his head helplessly, and then said.

"Everyone, all the situations are true. Nanjing City was breached six hours ago with the cooperation of Wang Jingwei and others. The entire Central China Front Army Headquarters was also completely destroyed during the entire siege battle. Your Excellency, Commander, Chief of Staff

Your Excellency, including all officers above the rank of major general in the entire city of Nanjing, all committed suicide..."For a time, the entire command headquarters fell into chaos.

However, this chaos only lasted for less than five minutes at this moment. Because everyone knew that with the destruction of the Central China Front Army Headquarters, they, including the 70,000 troops around them, were in the entire Central China region.

, has completely become a lonely army, and it is still a lonely army without any supplies.

Thinking of this, everyone immediately set their sights on Lieutenant General Miyamoto. They hoped that Lieutenant General Miyamoto in front of them could find a way out for everyone...

Seeing everyone's gazes, Lieutenant General Miyamoto, who had also thought for a few minutes, spoke directly.

"Now after reading this telegram, I finally understand where the East China Field Army around us comes from. However, even if I know it now, it is too late, because we have all fallen into the plot of the East China Field Army. Chief of Staff, now

How long can the ammunition and food and grass in our hands last at most?" "All the ammunition in reserve combined can only sustain a medium-sized battle. As for food and grass, because when our army set out, in order to speed up the march, we only carried

A week's supply of grain and grass. Adding in a few days of consumption, the remaining grain and grass can only last four days even if used sparingly...¨" the chief of staff replied very clearly.

"Four days... Everyone, it seems that we only have four days left to use. Within four days, if we break through the surrounding East China Field Army defense line, we can go all the way to the East District and march towards Shanghai. If in these four days,

If we cannot break through the encirclement of the East China Field Army, then there is only one way waiting for us, and that is to starve to death here..."

Seeing the look of approval on everyone's faces, Lieutenant General Miyamoto directly ordered: "Now I order that from now on, all departments will concentrate their forces and ammunition to launch successive attacks on the East China Field Army in the east...

¨”

In the next four days, the 70,000 Japanese troops in the encirclement, like a group of mad dogs, launched one attack after another against the East China Field Army encirclement without any pause. However, in the face of superior artillery fire and light and heavy machine gun fire, in addition to the East China Field Army positions,

Apart from adding a large number of corpses, it did not achieve any substantial results...

In the Japanese army's former enemy headquarters, with the end of the four-day offensive, all officers at the rank of colonel or above in the entire army sat in their seats with solemn expressions and said nothing. Because, after several days of fighting, they were deeply

It was deeply realized that the Japanese Imperial Army, which had lost its firepower advantage, could not break through the dense fire net organized by the East China Field Army with its own enthusiasm. After all, the thick, almost stinky corpses surrounding the encirclement circle,

It shows very well the heavy casualties suffered by the Japanese during the attack during several days of fighting...

In the command headquarters where the atmosphere was solemn, the chief of staff, as the steward of tens of thousands of troops, first spoke in his own heavy tone.

"Everyone, after several days of bloody battles, we have consumed almost all of our ammunition reserves. So far, all the bullets left in the army combined are not enough for the entire army to fire a round of salvos. At the same time, several

During the two-day attack, the total strength of our army has been reduced sharply to more than 50,000 men, and about 20,000 soldiers were lost in the two-day attack."

"Of course, what I want to talk about here today is not the casualties of the troops, but the existing food and fodder of the troops. According to the statistics of the logistics department, today's dinner may be the last dinner for our 50,000 troops...

Starting tomorrow, the entire army will face the situation of running out of food, medicine, and ammunition..."

Seeing the Chief of Staff's words fall, the entire headquarters fell into silence once again. Lieutenant General Miyamoto, the division commander who seemed to have aged several years overnight, spoke up.

"Everyone, the situation is clear to everyone. I hope everyone can speak about the next thing and think of a way out for the remaining 50,000 troops of our army..."

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, what else can you say? We fought with the East China Field Army on the periphery... Even if we die on the battlefield, we can't wait here to starve to death..." One of his subordinates almost died during the several days of offensive.

The Captain of the Colonel Company, who had suffered all casualties, stared with a pair of red eyes and roared loudly.

"Fight... What are you going to fight for... Don't you know that we have no ammunition in our hands? Do you want 50,000 imperial troops to all fall under the machine guns and cannons of the East China Field Army because of your stupidity...¨" Another

A captain of the Colonel's Alliance asked in dissatisfaction.

However, his words obviously aroused the denial of several young officers. Just as he finished speaking, a young officer stood up from his seat and roared loudly: "Bagh Ya Road, you

Not a warrior. As a senior officer of the Empire of Japan, the first thing you need is to dare to sacrifice and be ready to sacrifice for the Holy War and the Emperor at any time... You are not a soldier of the Empire of Japan, you are a disgrace to the Imperial Army of Japan.

…¨”

Of course, there are always young people and conservatives in the army.

It can be said that the young officer's reply of criticizing Sang and Huai severely stung the nerves of the conservative officers in the headquarters. A major general officer directly took out the gun from his waist, slammed it on the table, and then, loudly

Cursed.

"Baga... You are extremely stupid. As a mid-level and senior officer in the Japanese Imperial Army, the first thing you need to think about is whether the casualties of your own soldiers can bring benefits to the empire and the entire jihad. If it is just for a short time,

You are a coward if you allow tens of thousands of imperial warriors to die with you in a battle of will without benefiting the empire..."

Before the young officer could react from his shock, the major general continued to curse.

"As a true officer of the Japanese Empire, the first thing you need to think about is the interests of the empire and the interests of His Majesty the Emperor, not personal honor and disgrace...¨In continuous battles, we have lost hundreds of thousands of elite imperial troops due to wrong command. Everyone wants to

Think about it, if 50,000 elite imperial troops were lost again in the entire territory of China, how many Yellow Army troops would be left..." At this point, the entire command, including Lieutenant General Tanaka, already clearly understood what was before them.

What did the major general mean? After a brief reflection, Lieutenant General Tanaka asked.

"So, Mr. Liquor Industry, what do you think we should do next..." "The report came from the head of the regiment. I think our best approach is to find a way to preserve the 50,000 elite members of the imperial army and serve the great Japan."

For the future of the empire, keep some blood..." the major general answered straightforwardly.

Faced with Major General Liquor's answer, several officers from the Young Faction immediately glared angrily and wanted to pull out their pistols and shoot him dead. However, after seeing the almost murderous eyes of the division commander Lieutenant General Tanaka, they still closed their eyes obediently.

Keep your mouth shut, return to your actions, and wait for Lieutenant General Tanaka’s decision...

"Everyone, there are two ways to go before us. Here, as your division commander, I will not force anyone, including the soldiers below, to make a choice. Now I order that those who are willing to continue fighting,

Major General Honda took command and launched the final round of counterattack against the current East China Field Army an hour later. Those who agreed with Major General Liquor's opinion would be commanded by Major General Liquor. When conditions are ripe, they would collectively surrender to the East China Field Army...

"Facing everyone's gaze, Lieutenant General Tanaka gave the final order.

"Ha Yi, your Excellency, the division commander is wise..." In the end, faced with the choice of life and death, most of the Japanese troops in the encirclement found out and continued to live. There were only less than 5,000 die-hard Japanese troops, under the command of Major General Honda.

Under his command, he died on the way to charge.

As for the remaining 50,000 troops, they surrendered collectively with the East China Field Army ensuring their lives. It became the largest surrender in the history of China's Anti-Japanese War and also had the largest number of Japanese surrenders.
