Asaka Miya Hatohiko was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Kyushu Crusade Army more than a month ago. Regarding the counter-insurgency operations in Kyushu, there are irreconcilable conflicts within the Japanese military. The main force of the Japanese army is scattered in Asia. On various battlefields, the Japanese mainland is now in a situation of north-south pincer attack by the Russian and Allied forces. It is difficult to mobilize the elite army troops back, and the generals of various ministries are also scattered in various places. It is true that there are still a group of generals who can be appointed in the mainland. However, the parties have different opinions on who should be appointed to take on the task of counterinsurgency. Generals of the Emperor's faction such as Masaki Jinzaburo will never be recognized by the army's top brass, and Ishihara Kanji and other generals who represent pragmatism in the army will also not be requisitioned. However, the few remaining choices are more or less representatives of With the interests of various factions in mind, no matter who is appointed, there will be opposition. Because of this, King Jiuyan of Asaka Palace, who had been jumping up and down, unwilling to be dull and lonely, suddenly became the most suitable candidate. First, he is from the royal family, so appointing him will at least not attract criticism; second, after all, he has led soldiers and fought in battles, and he cannot be regarded as a loser who knows nothing about soldiers; third, at this time, he is the most active . When the Ministry of War and the base camp reported the final list to Emperor Hirohito, Hirohito looked at that familiar name and his nose was almost twisted with anger. However, when Yoshijiro Umezu and others from the Ministry of War listed the reasons one by one, Hirohito was speechless. I was speechless, so I had to hold my nose and sign the appointment order. So, Asaka Palace Kituhiko took office under such circumstances. The main body of the Kyushu Crusade Army consists of two parts. One part is the original Kyushu garrison. This part is basically the original reserve force with average combat effectiveness and even worse equipment. The other part is one of the standing divisions that was transferred back, the 11th. Part of the division's troops, this unit is the backbone of the Kyushu Crusade Army. Asaka Miya Kituhiko once served as the commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Force, and his prestige and qualifications were naturally unparalleled. When he took office, he began to vigorously appoint officers from the standing field divisions, promoted some officers from the 11th Division, and gradually took over He took over the entire command of the crusade and borrowed several officers from Army University to form a staff team. It should be said that these measures he took were effective. After taking over, he won several battles and defeated the rebels. They rushed back to Kyushu from the Shufang and Nagato areas, and then swept across Northern Kyushu with a devastating force. Even Hirado, the home base of the rebels, was taken back. When the Kyushu Crusade Army was complacent, it also made the royal family and the base camp far away in Kanto cheer. Now it seems that the Kyushu rebels are just a ragtag group of mud-legged people. As long as they are quickly calmed down, the end of the country can continue. , the domestic situation has finally improved somewhat. As the supreme commander of the Kyushu Crusade, Asaka Miyakohiko doesn't think so. Because he is on the battlefield, he understands the specific situation much more comprehensively than the base camp. In his opinion, although the rebels' combat effectiveness is nothing, An elite division, but it can never be described as a "rabble". It is true that the main body of the rebels is hungry people, bankrupt farmers, and handicraftsmen, but these people have grown up rapidly in more than a year of fighting. , has transformed into a qualified army force, and their equipment is not inferior to that of a standing division. There is also the most elite force among them. Their number is only a thousand, but they are so elusive that they have been annihilated. The invading enemies far exceeded their own numbers. Moreover, their tactics were flexible and changeable. This series of victories did not touch their main force. It is still too early to talk about quelling the rebellion. The most difficult thing is that here is In mainland Japan, the scorched earth tactics that Asaka Miyakohiko is most proud of do not have a market here. If he wields the butcher knife again, it is certain that Hirohito and the base camp will dismiss him as soon as possible. Therefore, Chaoxiang Palace Jiuyan is now in a dilemma. So, under this circumstance, Asaka Palace Hatohiko's troops captured the important town of Nagasaki. Aoyama, Fukuda Heihachiro's deputy, held Nagasaki for just one day before announcing the fall of the city. It was not that Aoyama didn't try his best, but that the troops assigned to him only numbered 10,000, and they were all miscellaneous troops. , the elite troops he originally expected did not come one by one. The battle was far from fierce. As for the reason for the victory, it was due to the collapse of the Nagasaki garrison. When the crusade army rushed into the city, they captured a large number of rebel soldiers. Asakamiya Hatohiko only had to look at these soldiers. At a glance, you can tell that these are just cannon fodder, and the real main force of the rebels has long since fled. Asaka Palace Hatohiko rode a war horse, surrounded by his men, and entered Nagasaki Castle with a heavy heart. Fortunately, not long after, his men sent a message that cheered him up. It is said that a large number of main rebels were found around Nagasaki, including eliteThere are traces of troops and heavy equipment, and it seems that they are preparing for a decisive battle with the punitive forces in Nagasaki. Hearing the news, King Jiuyan of Asaka Palace suddenly became excited. What he feared most was that Pan Zhijun would retreat all the way south into the mountains of Southern Kyushu. If so, it would be impossible to completely annihilate them. It now seems that the rebels intended to use the long-term defenders as bait to lure the crusaders to attack, and then surrounded them on all sides, intending to decide the overall situation of Kyushu in one battle. But what they did not expect was that the Nagasaki defenders could not help but fight. , the current tactics of outflanking the outside and blooming in the center will definitely not be realized. This is indeed a God-given opportunity for Asaka Miyakohiko. If he can annihilate the main force of the rebels in Nagasaki in one fell swoop, he will become the first real "famous general" in the royal family. This has always been the case. Asaka Miyakohiko Unable to help but feel hot all over, he immediately ordered his troops to shrink into Nagasaki to show weakness, attracting a large group of rebels to surround Nagasaki as quickly as possible, and at the same time ordered nearby troops to quickly move closer to him. But one day passed, and Asaka Miyakohiko was still unable to wait for the rebels. According to reports from the frontline troops, the rebels continued to contact the vanguard troops. The two sides fought several sporadic battles, but the rebels never made a decision. Determined to advance toward Nagasaki. During this period, Asaka Miyakohiko received a piece of news about Hiroshima. Hiroshima was attacked by a new type of bomb of the U.S. Air Force, killing and injuring hundreds of thousands of people. From the perspective of Asaka Miyakohiko's heart, he did not value new bombs very much. In his opinion, this was just another intensive bombing by the US military, but it also reminded him from the side that a large number of troops gathering in Nagasaki was not a good thing. Once the US military attacked, with the local defense capabilities It is absolutely impossible to resist. When the time comes, it will become the burial place of tens of thousands of army soldiers. Therefore, the top priority is to fight the rebels as soon as possible. Asaka Palace Jiuhiko secretly said in the letter: "If you wait one more day, if tomorrow If the battle can't start yet, then disperse out of the city immediately and continue to pursue the rebels northward. " Sporadic fighting in the city continued until the early morning, so Asaka Palace Kituhiko was not able to fall asleep until the early morning, waiting for him. When he woke up, rubbing his sleepy eyes, the sky was already bright, and the guard outside the door was carefully calling his name softly. King Jiuyan of Chaoxiang Palace jumped up from the bed with excitement and looked at his watch. The time was ten o'clock in the morning. The wooden door cup opened, and Asaka Gong Jiuyan shouted: "What are the movements of the rebels." The guard replied: "I just received news from the vanguard that the rebels have withdrawn south." Asaka Gong Jiuyan shook his head in disappointment and gently With a sigh, he immediately ordered: "The troops will follow the previous plan and immediately leave the city in batches to pursue southward." The guard looked troubled, "Your Excellency, the battle in the city has just ended, should we let the soldiers take a brief rest. Asaka Miyakohiko suddenly roared, "Nagasaki is close to the sea and is within the strike range of Allied fighter planes. Since so many troops cannot go to war and huddle in a city, they are a living target for bombers. Do you even understand this? I don¡¯t even understand.¡± ¡°Hey,¡± the guard agreed quickly. "It's ten o'clock in the morning. All units are ordered to assemble within an hour and leave the city as a whole." Asaka Palace Jiuyan drove away the guards, washed himself, and then walked out of the temporary command post with a group of staff officers and officers. It was close to eleven o'clock, and the order on the streets had returned to calm. The people of Nagasaki emerged from the rubble and started another busy day. They were no longer unfamiliar with war. Across the street, many soldiers in uniform gathered, standing next to an abandoned four-story building and pointing. Asaka Gong Jiuyan frowned. Even though some guards came forward to disperse the onlookers, the guards' faces were extremely ugly when they came back. "Your Excellency, the soldiers found a slogan in that building. It should be It was hung up last night." Asaka Miyakohiko looked up and saw a white cloth banner about one and a half meters wide and seven meters long hanging on the top floor of the building, swinging in the wind, with a row of red Japanese characters on it. The big characters are particularly eye-catching: "To commemorate the soldiers and civilians who died in Nanjing, Chaoxiang Gongjiuyan was buried here." Chaoxiang Gongjiuyan's heart shrank, "Baga, who is it, who did it." The Battle of Nanjing was the battle of Chaoxiang Gongjiuyan The pinnacle of Yan's military career, conquering the enemy's capital, was his greatest achievement as the temporary commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Force, and it was also a highlight in his personal military career. Now there are actually people who want to avenge the Chinese who were killed and injured in Nanjing. How can this prevent Asaka Palace Jiuyan from becoming angry from shame? "Go and take it off quickly. Also, find out immediately who hung it up. We must find the mastermind behind it." A staff officer shouted. Asaka Miyako's face turned red, sweat dripping from his forehead.After expressing his anger, he suddenly noticed something was wrong. This is Japan, but judging from the tone of this banner, it was clearly written by the Chinese. Could it be that he had fallen into a conspiracy? He suddenly remembered that he had ordered him to The mesmerizing story of ancient Chinese art of war unfolds one scene after another. "Quickly, order the troops to withdraw from the city." Asaka Palace Kituhiko didn't know what was going to happen, but in view of the upcoming danger, he instinctively gave the order to retreat. At this time, the air defense siren sounded without warning, shrill and harsh. The city was in chaos, and the retreating troops coincided with an Allied air raid, which added to the chaos. Asaka Gong Jiuyan stared at the sky blankly, "Could this be my burial place?" There was no roar of bombs, no heart-shaking screams, but an unusually bright light in mid-air. Flashing by, there seemed to be a sun suddenly appearing in the sky. Immediately, the earth began to tremble violently, and a coquettish mushroom cloud appeared from the ground like a demon, getting bigger and bigger, starting from the center of Nagasaki, rolling toward Devoured from all sides. In fact, when the bright light flashed, Asaka Miya Kituhiko's eyes could no longer see anything. He just held the katana in his hand in fear, feeling the increasingly intense hurricane in a daze, until the black clouds came to the sky. He was swallowed up in it, instantly turned into countless dust, and was carried by the hurricane towards the boundless darkness. The whole of Nagasaki went to hell in an instant.
