    While the Eighth Route Army launched a general attack on the Japanese army in the Hengshan Mountains, a Zero transport plane, escorted by four Falcon fighter planes, flew into Tokyo Bay, and after a few minutes, began to land slowly along the runway of Tokyo Airport.  At this time, the area with a radius of 5 kilometers centered on Tokyo Airport has been completely blocked. Thousands of military police and police with live ammunition are standing behind the cordon to prevent the people from approaching.

    On the tarmac, hundreds of soldiers stood solemnly. At the front were Hideki Tojo, Moto Sugiyama, and the director of education. These three giants led a group of Japanese army leaders.  There are generals and lieutenant generals who have been transferred to the reserve service, and the Minister of Internal Affairs, who is the spokesperson of His Majesty the Emperor, is also on the list.

    Behind the group of high-ranking generals, there were three hundred soldiers of the Guards Division. All of them lined up in a horizontal and vertical order with solemn expressions and guns in one hand.  The military posture and the faint murderous aura that inadvertently flowed out of his body all showed the elite and demeanor of Emperor Habayashi.

    After that, there is a military band composed of more than one hundred people. Surprisingly, at the end of this orchestra, there is a double-sided taiko drum with a height of more than three meters and a width of more than two meters.  The drum surface made of thick cowhide is painted with three or eight patterns representing the god of war.  In Japan, such Taiko drums have a special name-calling soul drums!

    Following the taxiing and landing of the plane slowly coming to a stop on the runway, the army chiefs who were still talking in low voices immediately shut their mouths, and then they all showed a sad expression on their faces.

    The door of the plane opened slowly, and several Japanese soldiers with white cloth strips on their heads and white undershirts transported a high-quality mahogany coffin out of the cabin.  The coffin contained the remains of Neiji Okamura.

    General of the Imperial Japanese Army and Commander-in-Chief of the North China Front Army.  In this way, he returned to his homeland.

    As soon as the coffin appeared, the military band played the national anthem of the Empire of Japan, and everyone on the tarmac stood upright with their heads upright.  He looked at the coffin with sad eyes.

    After the national anthem was played, Hideki Tojo, then Minister of the Cabinet and Minister of War, Moto Sugiyama, Chief of Staff, Members of the House of Representatives, General Hatohiko Asaka, and Lieutenant General Toshishiro Obata immediately stepped forward to support the coffin.  , Use this way to bid farewell to your old subordinates, old seniors and old friends.

    The moment the person's hand touched the coffin, the two bare-chested drummers standing beside the taiko drums waved the drumsticks in their hands and smashed them hard on the drum surface.  .

    "Boom!"

    "Boom boom!

    "Boom, boom, boom!' Summon the soul!

    Accompanied by the heart-pounding drumbeat, the four generals and four soldiers carried the coffin and walked slowly, each step stepping on the drumbeat.  All the generals took off their hats and bowed, and paid the highest tribute to Okamura Ningji, a famous general who had made great contributions to the empire.  Some people also shed hot tears, among which Toshishiro Obata cried the most sadly.

    Toshishiro Obata and Ningji Okamura are both Showa Sanbau. They and another member, Nagata Tieshan, were already very good friends in the Army Elementary School. Later, they were admitted to the Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy and Army University together.  Go to Europe as a military attache.  The relationship between each other is very close.  In the words of our Chinese, it is the kind of ferromagnetism that makes Xiaojia's best friends.

    Nagata Tieshan was killed in August 1935 by members of the Huangdao faction who disagreed with him politically.  Now Neiji Okamura is dead again, and he is the only one left of the majestic imperial Sanba Ura and best friend.  Thinking of all the memories when we were together, Toshishiro Obata was heartbroken!

    The loud drumbeat suddenly became hasty.  300 soldiers of the Guards Division raised their rifles at the same time and fired three shots into the sky.

    Amidst the impassioned soul-calling drums and deafening gunshots, the coffin containing Neiji Okamura's body passed the people on the tarmac to the truck that had already been waiting aside, and as the coffin was loaded, the drums  The sound also stopped immediately, and then everyone shouted with all their strength: "Your Excellency Okamura, you will live forever!"

    Immediately, the truck, escorted by several military vehicles, drove straight out of the airport and headed for the cemetery personally selected by the Emperor for Neiji Okamura.

    So far, the whole ceremony is over.

    This corpse reception ceremony is the highest and most solemn one for the Japanese army since World War II. This can be seen from the four people who hold the coffin: Kamiya Hatohiko represents the royal family.  Hideki Tojo represents the cabinet government, Gen Sugiyama is the Ministry of War, and Toshiro Obata is not only a close friend of Ningji Okamura, but also represents the Chinese (newly established after the Meiji Restoration).established aristocracy.  Members include the old Wusho family, the Tokugawa family of the former shogunate, and feudal lords from various places who made great contributions during the Meiji Restoration. Later, new heroes such as Ito Hirobumi, Dashanyan, and Yamagata Aritomo were added one after another.  The status is second only to the royal family and enjoys many political and economic privileges.  It is the real ruling class of Japan.  ) The emperor, government, army, and honor are all in place, which shows the importance of Neiji Okamura to Japan.

    However, no matter how important it is, Okamura Ningji also received the same treatment as Yamamoto's fifty-six times in history. In order to stabilize the morale of the army and the people, the Japanese government did not announce his death to the public, and it was a secret to come to the burial  It was done, otherwise the airport would not have been blocked.

    After the ceremony, the military band and the soldiers were brought back separately, and Toshishiro Obata, whose eyes were a little red and swollen from crying, also started to walk towards the direction where the car was parked.

    Unexpectedly, Hideki Tojo grabbed him from behind: "Toshi-kun Xiaohata, His Majesty the Emperor is going to hold an imperial meeting, you go with me."

    Obata Toshishiro rubbed his eyes, and said angrily: 'I am a little reserve lieutenant general, what are you going to do to attend the imperial meeting?  "Although Hideki Tojo is the Prime Minister of Japan, he is also the apprentice of Toshiro Obata and others, and he also worked as a follower for Sanha Ura. When the three of them gathered at the spa in Baden-Baden, they would light cigarettes and refill water.  , It was Tojo¡¯s younger brother who was watching the gate, and Toshishiro Obata was also of Chinese ethnicity, so he was naturally not too much of a bird.

    As expected, Hideki Tojo didn't get angry, and said with a smile: "This is what His Majesty the Emperor meant. I don't know exactly what I want you to do!"

    Hearing this, Toshishiro Obata was not happy, so he could only agree, but he rejected Hideki Tojo's invitation, and still insisted on making his own vehicle to go to the imperial palace.  War mongers on chariots, he is extremely contemptuous!

    ?In addition to Hideki Tojo and Toshishiro Obata, the other army leaders in power also drove towards the palace in a car. Toshiro Obata nodded secretly when he saw this, and said to himself, it seems that this time the matter is not small!

    Half an hour later, everyone arrived at the palace, and under the guidance of the internal officials, they walked straight to the meeting place. This imperial meeting will only be held when an extremely important event occurs.  It may not have been held once a year before.  Now it has been held twice in a month, which shows how unfavorable the situation is to Japan.

    When a group of army generals arrived, the cabinet members and navy generals had already made preparations in the hall.  Although everyone looked solemn, the army generals always felt that there was a little smile in the eyes of the naval generals.  But they didn't care about it, after all, Neiji Okamura has always been one of the faces of the army. Now that he is dead, it's normal for those navy red deer to gloat a little. If they don't hold a banquet to celebrate, they have already learned  .

    After everyone arrived, Emperor Hirohito walked into the hall and sat straight in his seat. After accepting the audience, he said in a hoarse voice: "Masters, I believe everyone already knows that General Nei Okamura  The country died!  Now please let us sit in silence for three minutes.  "

    Everyone immediately got up together with His Majesty the Emperor, and remained silent for Ningji Okamura. During this period, Emperor Hirohito's eyes became crystal clear, hey, after all, he was a confidant whom he admired and relied on very much since he was the crown prince.

    At the end of the silence, Hirohito adjusted his mood a little, and continued to open his mouth to say: "Mr. Okamura did his best to serve the empire during his lifetime. From the Japanese-German Shandong War to the Manchuria Incident, and then to the Shanghai Incident, he played a very important role in it.  He even won the entire Beijing-Tianjin region for the empire by himself. After the outbreak of the Japanese War, Mr. Okamura led his troops to fight in the north and south, attacking Wuhan, occupying Nanchang, besieging Suizao, besieging Changsha, and annihilating more than a million people.  The Chinese army, those so-called famous generals who fought against the enemy and fled, can be said to have made great contributions to the empire. Therefore, I decided to posthumously make Okamura Neiji a field marshal of the imperial army, and posthumously award the "Golden Medal of Merit First Class."

    I have to say that Emperor Hirohito was really kind to his confidant.  The Gold Medal is a medal specially formulated by Japan to commend soldiers with military exploits.  Founded in 1890, it is divided into seven levels from merit seven to merit. The level of level is directly proportional to the size of military merit.  The decades from the Russo-Japanese War to the Manchuria Incident.  Among the millions of Japanese soldiers who were awarded the First Class Gold Medal of Merit, there were only sixteen of them, and they were basically meritorious generals who played a key role in the war.

    After the start of the Sino-Japanese War, Emperor Hirohito granted eight more people.  Ningji Gangmura is ninth.

    As for the title of field marshal, it is even more serious. As the saying goes, a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier.  That general who doesn't want to be a marshal is definitely not a good general.  But this marshal is not quite easy to be. After Emperor Hirohito ascended the throne until the spring of 1943, the Japanese Army had a total of four marshals, three of whom were members of the royal family and the other was of Chinese origin. That is to say,  Neiji Okamura was the first person to be promoted to a marshal as a civilian during the Showa period, and he was also the first Japanese field marshal after the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War.  Although it is a posthumous award, it is enough to honor the future.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)?, the Japanese Army had a total of four marshals, three of whom were members of the royal family, and the other was of Chinese origin.  He was also the first Japanese Field Marshal after the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War.  Although it is a posthumous award, it is enough to honor the future.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
