    Lieutenant General Ma Chaoyang, deputy commander of the division's left offensive group and commander of the Southeast Mobile Corps, was disappointed. He originally commanded a partial division to attack more than 100,000 Japanese troops on the battlefield of Kyushu Island, which contained his thoughts of commanding a battlefield. He did  When they arrived, they annihilated 100,000 enemies on the Kyushu Island battlefield and achieved the final victory, but they also lost the opportunity to participate in the final encirclement and annihilation battle on the northwest battlefield of Honshu Island.

    Compared with the loss of Ma Chaoyang, the commander of the Southeast Mobile Corps, Lieutenant General Han Tie, the commander of the Marine Corps in charge of attacking Shikoku Island, received a call back from his division commander before the smoke cleared from his body. He laughed up to the sky and shouted hello repeatedly.  With luck, after defeating the little Japs on Shikoku Island, you can still win the next battle.

    The content of the reply from the division commander made Han Tie very excited and grinning from ear to ear, "Commander Han Tie of the Marine Corps, I am very pleased to hear that I have received the call. After the Battle of Shikoku Island, your department has left five brigades of troops."  , responsible for clearing out the remaining Japanese soldiers and maintaining local security. The main force immediately crossed the Kii Waterway, landed at Wakayama on Honshu Island, and headed to the outskirts of Tokyo to standby! "

    After receiving the order from the division commander, Han Tie did not dare to neglect, and ordered the deputy chief of staff of the Corps, Major General Xie Helin, to command the remaining five brigades and concurrently serve as the commander of the Marine Corps Shikoku Island Garrison. He himself commanded the main force and quickly  Crossing the Kii Waterway, passing through Nara, Gibu and other places, they approached Kofu and deployed troops outside Tokyo.

    Han Tie had no complaints about the division commander not allowing his troops to participate in the battle on the northwest battlefield of Honshu Island. In his opinion, there was no way to attack hundreds of thousands of little Japs who had lost all their energy and spirit, and how could they reach their lair?  Tokyo is enjoyable. Furthermore, the troops participating in this battle include nearly four corps and more than 1.8 million people, and what about the little Japanese?  There is less than 500,000 yuan left, which is not enough, so I will fight with all my strength.  How much will end up in your mouth?

    On the sixth day of the siege, nearly a million Japanese soldiers were surrounded by two battlefields.  Finally, they came to a dead end. The China Division troops were surrounded from front to back. There was no hope of reinforcements. There was not much ammunition left. There was no water or food. Everything that could be eaten was stuffed into the mouth. Countless bombs would fall overhead from time to time.  But such a small amount of food is enough to feed hundreds of thousands of people.

    In the encirclement, a large number of Japanese wounded soldiers died every day because they were not treated in time. Many Japanese soldiers were dying of thirst and hunger due to lack of water and food. Under such circumstances, the Japanese soldiers lost their minds and often  Because of a newly dug well.  They are still braving the muddy water, and fighting fiercely, even because of a little food.  From time to time, fights broke out between different troops.

    The desperate battlefield reduced the Japanese soldiers to a group of beasts. However, because the Japanese command system and commanders at all levels were present, no Japanese soldiers surrendered to the division troops with leaflets distributed by division aircraft. It was not that they did not want to, but that they surrendered to the division troops.  I don't dare.

    Daqu.  A small town on the battlefield in the northeastern part of Honshu Island is now the temporary base of the headquarters of the Northeastern Honshu Defense Zone in Japan.  A very serious military meeting is taking place in the town.  It was going on in a house that was half collapsed by the bombing.

    The current commander, Lieutenant General Yano, is so old and emaciated that he has almost lost his human form. He is in a desperate situation and is in constant panic. The destined final outcome has tortured him to the point of going insane. The remaining hundreds of thousands of Imperial soldiers are in  Having run out of food and water two days ago, the majestic Imperial Army Lieutenant General is also hungry and thirsty.

    Lieutenant General Yano has a bit of the spirit of a Japanese soldier. He declared to the officers around him that he and the soldiers share the joys and sorrows and are determined not to be special. In fact, there is no food to eat in the encirclement. After two days, coupled with the huge mental pressure  , this guy was so emaciated that he was skin and bones.

    "Gentlemen, you must be aware of the situation faced by the hundreds of thousands of imperial officials and soldiers in the Northeastern Defense Zone, right?" Lieutenant General Yano said, his voice hoarse and hollow, so dry that there was no moisture at all.

    The nearly one hundred Japanese officers above major generals who participated in the meeting all looked gloomy and helpless. Everyone knew very well that the final outcome would be for all of them to be crushed. Ordinary soldiers might still have a way to survive. Senior officers like themselves would fall into this trap.  In the hands of the Chinese soldiers, that is the word "death"!

    "Yano's incompetence caused nearly a million imperial soldiers to be trapped in a desperate situation. Hundreds of thousands of their jade were broken, and the rest had no hope of breaking out!" Lieutenant General Yano continued: "This is Yano's fault alone. I deeply feel ashamed of His Majesty the Emperor and the Supreme Leader.  The Japanese Empire is ashamed of the hundreds of thousands of remaining Imperial soldiers!¡±

    "As an imperial general, Yano realizes that being a prisoner is the most shameful act, especially being a prisoner of the inferior Chinese people. Therefore, I decided to commit suicide by caesarean section to apologize. Otherwise, I cannot atone for my sins. Only by dying can I understand  My ambition!"

    "From now on, the headquarters of the Northeast Defense District of the Empire's Honshu Island will be disbanded, and the command of the troops will be handed over to the commanders of each division."You can decide your own way, but I hope that you will not become a prisoner of the Chinese people, especially the imperial generals here, so as to maintain the final dignity of the Emperor of Japan!  "

    In despair, Shoichi Yano, the commander of the headquarters of the defense zone in the northeastern part of Japan's Honshu Island, committed suicide by caesarean section. The senior officers who followed him to have their stomachs cut included, in addition to Chief of Staff Shun Yokota, there were dozens of Japanese military officers above the rank of major general.  .

    Yano Shoichi committed suicide, which was a good start and set an example for other senior Japanese military officers. Within the next day, senior officers from various divisions, brigades and other senior officers affiliated with the headquarters of the defense zone in the northeastern part of Honshu Island committed suicide one after another.  , this trend soon spread to middle and lower-level officers, and many Japanese officers at all levels committed suicide as a result.

    On the battlefield in the northwest of Honshu Island, Lieutenant General Takiro Morita, commander of the defense zone headquarters, who was also in a desperate situation, adopted another method to accelerate his own demise. He also convened a military meeting, and the scale was quite large.  Large, including officers at all levels above the rank of colonel.

    "Gentlemen, we are in a desperate situation and there is no hope of breaking out. Don't hope for reinforcements to rescue us. This is an unchangeable reality!" It seemed that Lieutenant General Morita was in good spirits, with a fierce light in his eyes as he spoke.  Come feel very energetic.

    "However, as a soldier of the Empire of Japan, even if you are in a desperate situation, you cannot lose your fighting spirit and bushido spirit. Dedicating yourself to His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan is the emperor's highest honor and his final destination!"

    "I order the troops to take the regiment as a unit, and from now on, launch a desperate charge towards the blocking position of the China Division troops in the east direction. Even if all the jade is broken, it reflects the emperor's fighting will and dignity. Officers at all levels, including me,  Inside, we must be at the forefront and set an example for the soldiers!¡±

    "The time has come to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan. Samurai, lead your soldiers and launch a final desperate charge towards the hateful China people. Let the blood of our imperial soldiers flow on the land of the empire.  The Chinese soldiers fell under our bayonets! Let the inferior Chinese tremble in front of the imperial warriors!"

    It must be said that Morita, an old Japanese soldier, is very good at eloquence and incitement. His words aroused the emotions and spirits of nearly a thousand Japanese officers who attended the meeting. These Japanese soldiers pulled out their command knives one after another and shouted fanatically at the top of their lungs.  As they shouted, each beast's blood boiled and they took on a desperate posture.

    After the Japanese officers returned to their respective units, they held the same military meeting. Then, officers at all levels forced the soldiers who could still move but were weak to form a charge formation, with 38 guns pressed on the bayonets and platooned.  They formed a queue of different lengths and started shouting slogans, which were nothing more than nonsense about being loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and dedicating themselves to the Empire of Japan.

    In the end, hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers stood still, holding 38-guns with bayonets in their hands, like puppets, and pressed towards the division's positions.  Lieutenant General Morita even led by example, waving a command knife with a steel and gold handle, and organized the staff and guards of the defense zone headquarters together to form a charge formation, with him at the front.

    The unusual movements of the Japanese soldiers in the encirclement and the wolf-like shouts in Japanese had already alerted the commanders at all levels in the forward positions. They immediately reported the situation to Tang Qiusheng. Tang Qiuli and the chief of staff, Major General Yu Guanghan,  Lieutenant General Jing Zhanqi, deputy commander of the 29th Corps, and Major General Wang Bingde, chief of staff, climbed to the top of a mountain closest to the front-line position, overlooking the entire battlefield.

    After raising the telescope and observing for a while, Tang Qiusheng turned around and asked Jing Zhanqi: "Zhanqi, do you see anything?"

    "You kid, you're going to do your best, the same old thing!" Jing Zhanqi put down the telescope and said contemptuously: "There is another name, called Long Live Charge, which means preparing everyone to die. Deputy division commander, just get rid of them all and just have a meal.  As for the artillery shells, if the division commander hadn¡¯t stopped him from firing, how could the little Japs in the encirclement still be fighting to the death?

    "It's easy to get rid of the hundreds of thousands of Japanese remnants and defeated generals in the encirclement!" Tang Qiusheng said with a smile: "But the division commander's intention is to capture as many prisoners as possible. If we shoot down with artillery shells, doesn't it violate the division commander's intention?  These Japanese prisoners of war are of great use to the division commander!"

    "Did you notice that in front of the Japanese charge formation, the people waving command knives were all officers? Guanghan immediately contacted Le Yiqin and asked them to send fighter jets to specifically attack the Japanese officers, knocking out the leader, and the rest were ordinary  The Japanese soldiers are easy to deal with. In addition, order the artillery to conduct precise shelling and specifically look for Japanese officers to attack, a two-pronged approach!"

    Fighter planes roared, artillery shells roared, and they landed accurately in front of the Japanese officer commanding the charge, bursting into flames. Lieutenant General Morita realized his wish, and was first hit by a machine gun from a fighter jet.?, he was hit with holes all over his body, and then a large-caliber artillery shell flew in, leaving no bones left.
