- With the recovery of Nanping, the Japanese army was defeated across the board in Fujian. The 1st, 24th, and 15th tank divisions that were originally near Nanping were routed across the board and headed towards Zhejiang. Now only the Japanese troops entrenched in Fujian were defeated. Fuzhou's Second and Third Divisions have less than 30,000 troops, and these 30,000 troops are in panic all day long, because they know very well that if they lose their supplies and don't get reinforcements, they will be driven into the sea. It's just a matter of time.
Shocked and frightened, Yoshimoto Teiichi and Toshima Fusutaro sent rescue telegrams to Okamura Neji and the base camp almost at the rate of three times a day, causing the base camp to panic. In desperation, Tojo Hideki personally pulled the news. He humiliated himself and asked the navy for help, asking them to send a fleet to Fuzhou to pick up the 2nd and 3rd Divisions.
"Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers! Under the command of General Bai Chongxi, the Seventh Army of the Fourth Theater of my country fought with the Japanese army and fought hard in Fujian. After a bitter battle, they annihilated 100,000 Japanese troops and captured more than 4,000 people. Now, except for some Japanese troops, they fled to Zhejiang in embarrassment. , the remaining Japanese troops have huddled in the Fuzhou area and are believed to be annihilated in the near future."
"General Su Rui, commander of the Fourth War Zone, held a press conference in Guangzhou yesterday to inform compatriots across the country about the battle of Fujian and urged the Japanese 2nd and 3rd Divisions, which were still lingering in the Fuzhou area, to resist. There is no way out. If the 2nd and 3rd Divisions lay down their weapons and surrender, General Su can guarantee their lives, otherwise they will end up being shattered to pieces!"
"The Japanese government's Foreign Minister Hirota also held a press conference yesterday. He advised the Chinese government to urge the Fourth Theater Zone to quickly clear a road and allow the Japanese officers and soldiers of the 2nd and 3rd Divisions to withdraw to Zhejiang. In the spirit of humanitarianism. Foreign Minister Hirota He said that they would restrain the imperial army from causing damage to the people and buildings in Fuzhou, otherwise he could not guarantee what the out-of-control imperial soldiers would do!"
Early in the morning on June 30, 1940. A famous newspaper boy started selling money in the streets and alleys of major cities across the country.
The cries of the newsboys resounded throughout the streets and alleys. People who got up in the morning were overjoyed when they heard the cries of the newsboys. They all swarmed over with steamed buns or soy milk in their hands.
¡°Little brother, bring me a Ta Kung Pao!¡±
"Little brother, please submit two declarations!"
"Bring me a copy of the Central Daily News right away, hurry up, or I'll beat you up!" This is a grumpy one.
On this day, almost all the newsboys burst out laughing. Because the newspapers they sold on this day were almost equal to the sales volume in a previous week, and the people who bought newspapers were also very happy, because the Fourth War Zone gave them a long-awaited victory.
"Okay, you little bastard Japan is here today, so what about the eight divisions? We have overthrown them. Let's see if you still dare to be arrogant in the future!"
"Okay, let's be enlightened today after hearing this good news!"
Countless people cheered for this, and the students brought firecrackers and set them off on the street. The crackling sound resounded through the street, and countless students rushed out of the classroom. They swarmed into the street and kept shouting, as if not doing so was not enough to vent the joy in their hearts.
"We won, we won!"
"Annihilate one hundred thousand enemies, hahaha. How many hundred thousand Japanese have we can annihilate!"
The whole of China is immersed in the joy of this victory. In this time and space, what was originally a very difficult year has become somewhat unrecognizable because of the flicker of a butterfly's wings.
On the contrary, Okamura Neji¡¯s life in Nanjing is extremely sad. For a whole day, Okamura Neji locked himself in the office alone, not seeing anyone no matter who came. Because he suffered a huge defeat. The atmosphere in the entire staff department was also extremely depressing, although dozens of staff officers still stayed at their posts. But at this moment, most of their eyes were no longer on themselves, but on a colonel with his mouth in the corner.
This colonel is short and slightly fat, about thirty-two or thirteen years old, with a pair of black-rimmed eyes. Although he was also sitting in his seat, there was obviously a look of anxiety on his face. This person was Colonel Miyamoto Kazuo, the newly promoted Chief of Staff of the Central China Front less than two months ago.
At this time, Miyamoto Kazuo's mood was as anxious as the look on his face, but as the chief of staff, he had to set an example for the subordinates around him, especially when people's hearts were unstable.
It stands to reason that the corruption in the Fujian battlefield has directly affected the atmosphere and work of the Central China Front Army Headquarters. As the chief of staff, he has the responsibility to stand up and cheer for the people below, but Miyamoto Kazuo did not do so because he knew that even now he Even doing so would not have much effect. His prestige in the headquarters was still high.To put it bluntly, some people in the staff department really can't be suppressed. After all, the original position of Chief of Staff of the Central China Front was definitely not something that he, a person with only the rank of Colonel, could pry into. However, at the insistence of Okamura Neiji, the base camp had no choice but to approve the appointment, but those in the staff department had eyes that usually reached their foreheads. , the staff officers who regarded themselves as elites were not convinced. Although the staff officers in the staff department rarely showed it, Miyamoto Kazuo clearly felt this silent resistance.
Just as everyone was getting more and more restless, Miyamoto Kazuo knew that he had to do something. He picked up a food box from the table and stood up, then walked to a room not far from him. In front of the office. He stopped and took a deep breath, then knocked on the door three times.
After a while, Neji Okamura¡¯s deep voice came from the office.
"Come in, the door is unlocked!"
Miyamoto Kazuo opened the door and walked in.
When Kazuo Miyamoto entered Neji Okamura¡¯s office, he immediately saw Neji Okamura sitting motionless by the window with his back to him, as if he was just a lifeless body.
Kazuo Miyamoto tiptoed slowly and walked behind Okamura Neiji and said softly: "Your Excellency, Commander, you haven't eaten for a day. Your body will not be able to bear this. You'd better eat something!"
After a while after Miyamoto Kazuo's voice sounded, Okamura Neji's body slowly moved.
Slowly turned around, Okamura Neji glanced at Miyamoto Kazuo, and then nodded: "Thank you, Miyamoto-kun, I'm fine. I'm just thinking about some problems, you don't have to worry about me."
Miyamoto Kazuo said anxiously: "But"
"It's nothing to worry about." Okamura Neji waved his hand, "It's okay if I say it's okay. You put the things aside and record the order first."
"Hai!" The helpless Miyamoto Kazuo had no choice but to put the food box on the coffee table aside, and then took out a notebook and pencil from his pocket to make an accurate record.
Okamura Neiji pondered for a while and then said: "Army Lieutenant General Okamura Neiji, commander of the Central China Front of the Empire of Japan, called the base camp: The defeat in the Fujian battlefield was really my fault, and I am willing to take full responsibility for it. "
"ah¡¡"
Hearing this, Miyamoto Kazuo¡¯s hand couldn¡¯t help but tremble, and the pencil drew a black line on the note.
But Okamura Neiji continued as if he didn't see it: "But I would also like to ask the base camp to pay attention. The current Fourth Theateror the Seventh Army has grown into a force that can threaten the empire's rule in China. An armed force. It can be said that, except for the navy, it can rival or surpass the Imperial Army in terms of number of troops and equipment. As long as this army exists For one day, the empire's Greater East Asia strategy became empty talk. Therefore, the encirclement and suppression of the fourth theater is also imperative. Okamura is not talented, but he is willing to take the blame and perform meritorious service to contribute to the annihilation of this army"
The more Kazuo Miyamoto wrote, the more frightened he became. What happened to Commander Okamura? He had just suffered a huge defeat, and now he was not thinking about how to restore the base camp's impression of him. He actually wanted to be the commander of the fourth theater of encirclement and suppression. Is he crazy? If this telegram is sent, I am afraid that what is waiting for him is an order from the headquarters to relieve him of his post.
Seeing Miyamoto Kazuo¡¯s dull expression, Okamura Neji raised the corners of his mouth, ¡°Miyamoto-kun, what¡¯s wrong? Didn¡¯t you hear what I said clearly?¡±
Miyamoto Kazuo swallowed before he stammered: "OkamuraCommander Okamura, you must think twice. Once this telegram is sent, the consequences may be disastrous!"
"Consequences, what are the consequences?" Okamura Neiji sneered, "Miyamoto-kun, do you think that I can't protect myself now? After this telegram is sent out, I am afraid that what is waiting for me is the telegram from the headquarters to relieve me of my position. ?¡±
Miyamoto Kazuo lowered his head silently and said nothing, which was equivalent to acquiescence.
The sneer on Okamura's face became even more obvious, "Then do you think this position is a good job for others? Will there be many people competing for this position?"
"this¡¡"
Okamoto Kazuo was stunned for a moment, yes, is this position really popular? Will many people come to snatch it?
Others don¡¯t know, but Miyamoto knows very well what a terrifying monster the current Fourth War Zone has grown into under Suri¡¯s management. The defeat of an army of 200,000 people within a month is the best proof. I'm afraid no one is willing to take over this position from Okamura Neji.
Thinking of this, Kazuo Miyamoto realized that he and the staff in the headquarters had fallen into a misunderstanding in the past few days. They only thought about OkaIf Ningji loses the battle, the base camp will probably change its generals, but he didn't expect that the Central China Front Army is now a hot potato, and no one is willing to take over.
