Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The sunshine at noon in Western Liaoning is spreading its heat without hesitation. The sea surface of Liaodong Bay in the distance seems to be dancing with countless golden lights. The autumn air is crisp and clear. It is the most beautiful season of the year in the Northeast. But the Supreme Commander of the Western Kwantung Army  The heart of Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro, the commander of the First Army, was as cold as a severe winter, and the blood in his body was almost solidified. In a single thought, hundreds of thousands of brave and capable Kwantung Army soldiers put down their weapons. The shame was boundless.  Shame!

    With trembling hands, he folded the telegram, put it into an envelope, and wrote "Urgent, send immediately!" on the cover of the envelope. After a few words, Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro's hand touched the pistol at his waist. Since he had chosen  Surrender, hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army soldiers can live, but you can't live in humiliation, so use your humiliation and life to find a way to survive for them!

    Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro was determined to die, but he exclaimed, "Your Excellency, Commander, you can't!" A senior staff officer with the rank of colonel rushed up to him and took away his pistol. He knew this colonel, he was the commander of the army.  Matsuo Shiro, the senior operational staff officer, is somewhat related to him. He is his absolute confidant in the First Army.

    "Matsuo-kun, why did you stop me?" Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro asked feebly.

    The muscles on Colonel Matsuo's face twitched painfully, and he took out a telegram and said: "Commander, this is the telegram sent by Chief of Staff Minamino at the independent division commander's station using their radio.  Commander of the Independent Division, accept the terms of our surrender!¡±

    "Oh?" Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro rolled his dull eyes and received the telegram. After reading it, he became furious and a sickly flush appeared on his face. He roared and roared: "Baga! The Chinese are bullying others too much! Unconditionally.  Surrender, it can't be done! Matsuo-kun, convey my order immediately, all troops prepare to break out!"

    Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro roared hysterically.  While breathing heavily, Colonel Matsuo lowered his eyebrows and did not carry out his order. "Matsuo-kun, didn't you hear my order?" His eyes were red.  The whole person has fallen into a state of madness, glaring at Colonel Matsuo fiercely, asking.

    Colonel Matsuo sighed and said: "Commander, please calm down. Breakout? Is it possible? Look at how many independent division artillery positions are around us. I'm afraid they can blow us to pieces in an instant. Like this  What¡¯s the point of breaking through? The reason why the independent division troops stopped attacking is probably to give us a chance to surrender!¡±

    "Moreover. Even if you want to fight again, do the other army commanders have the determination and courage to continue fighting and fight to the end? With only our First Army, even if all of them are broken, what can be changed? The soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Empire, no  You are afraid of life and death, but you cannot die needlessly. Matsuo believes that the commander also knows this, otherwise, you would not send Chief of Staff Minano to discuss surrender!"

    Colonel Matsuo¡¯s tone was as humble as ever, but his words were like knives.  It stabbed deeply into Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro's heart. Yes, if he refused to surrender until death, why send Minano to negotiate?

    "Could it be that our majestic Kwantung Army of the Imperial Japanese Empire, with hundreds of thousands of brave and skilled warriors, unconditionally accepted such a humiliating surrender?" Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro asked weakly, and the bitterness in his heart almost overwhelmed him.

    Colonel Matsuo nodded affirmatively and said: "Commander, you are the clearest about the situation we are currently facing. I am afraid that we can only accept the other party's conditions. There is no time to hesitate anymore. The commander of the independent division only gives us  Thirty minutes of consideration time, the lives of hundreds of thousands of imperial soldiers are all at your fingertips, and Chief of Staff Minano is still waiting for your decision!"

    Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro didn't seem to be interested in his words, but kept rolling his eyes. Colonel Matsuo couldn't guess what he was thinking about at this time, "Matsuo-kun, you just said, Nanno is  Did you use the radio station of the independent division's troop headquarters to contact us?" Suddenly, blue light appeared in his eyes and he asked eagerly.

    "Yes, Commander, that's what Chief of Staff Minamino said in the telegram!" Colonel Matsuo answered truthfully.

    The blue light in Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro's eyes became even brighter, and he then asked: "Headquarters Telecommunications Room, monitoring radio station, can you locate the specific location of this radio station?"

    "It should be possible, there is no technical problem!" Colonel Matsuo replied doubtfully.

    "Hahaha!" Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro suddenly laughed wildly, "God help me! The location of the radio station is where the top commander of the Liaoxi Army of the Independent Division is located. I gathered two field artillery regiments and more than 80 large-caliber field artillery units.  Artillery, bombard the location of that radio station, Matsuo-kun, what will the result be?"

    Without waiting for Colonel Matsuo¡¯s answer, Kashii Shiro said:The general said hurriedly: "Matsuo-kun, please send a telegram back to Nanye immediately and ask him to delay as much time as possible to buy enough time for me to mobilize the artillery. But in the telegram, don't say that, just say, Commander of the Independent Division."  We still need to hold a meeting to discuss the conditions proposed, and let Nanye continue to send telegrams to us to facilitate the determination of the specific location of the radio station!¡±

    Having said this, Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro was almost extremely proud, immersed in his own fantasy, "This is the only opportunity to reverse the situation in Manchuria and Liaoxi, and it is also an opportunity gifted by Amaterasu. In one fell swoop, we destroyed the highest level of the Liaoxi Independent Division."  The morale of the command organization will be chaotic. We will take advantage of the situation and head towards the Korean Peninsula. Everything will change. What does it mean to survive from a desperate situation? Hahaha!"

    Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro laughed like a madman, while Colonel Matsuo stared at him dumbfounded, as if he was looking at an idiot. This look made Lieutenant General Kashii very uncomfortable, and he stared at him fiercely.  Asked: "Matsuo-kun, do you still doubt my wisdom?"

    Colonel Matsuo swallowed hard, his mouth was bitter. He simply didn't know what to say to this commander who was obviously in a state of madness. After thinking about it, he still said: "Your Excellency, Commander,  This is simply an impossible plan. Our current battlefield space is only a few dozen kilometers in radius. It faces the sea on one side and is surrounded by the Independent Division troops on three sides. The battlefield is unobstructed and all our actions are under the surveillance of the Independent Division soldiers.  Among them!¡±

    "Can such a large-scale artillery movement of two field artillery regiments be hidden from the surveillance eyes of the soldiers of the Independent Division? This is one, and the other is, since the top commander of the Independent Division dares to let Chief of Staff Minami use them to command  The radio station of the headquarters is not afraid of exposing its position, which means that the cunning commander of the independent division has been prepared and is not afraid of our artillery attack. Moreover, the enemy's top commander on the battlefield will set up his headquarters within the range of our artillery fire.  ? Commander, let¡¯s not think the enemy is too stupid!¡±

    "Therefore, Your Excellency Commander, your plan seems to be a surprise, but there is no possibility of success. I am afraid that as soon as our artillery makes a move, it will attract a hail of artillery fire from the independent division's artillery. Then what is the point of negotiating?  ? Commander, you'd better give up these unrealistic ideas! Commander of the Independent Division, give us more time to think about it, you have to make a decision!"

    Colonel Matsuo is calm, but reality is cruel. Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro is like a deflated rubber ball. Not to mention anything else, just placing the high command within the range of the opponent's artillery fire is enough to dispel it.  All of his fantasies, if it were him, he would not do this, "Matsuo-kun, please send a telegram back to Nanye and tell him that I accept all the conditions put forward by the commander of the independent division!"

    When Chief of Staff Minamino presented the telegram from Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro to Feng Jiwu, for some reason, he suddenly felt extremely relaxed, as if he had escaped the shadow of death and saved his life.

    Feng Jiwu read the telegram with a contemptuous sneer at the corner of his mouth. Then, with a cunning light in his eyes, he handed the telegram to Han Tie and said, "Commander Han, I don't know why, but I suddenly felt dizzy and felt dizzy all over."  It¡¯s comfortable, maybe I didn¡¯t sleep well. In this case, you, Commander Han, will take care of the rest. I¡¯ll go catch up on my sleep!¡±

    After saying that, without waiting for Han Tie to speak or looking at the hopeful eyes of Chief of Staff Minami, he strode away. Han Tie shook his head with a wry smile and said with contempt in his heart, "This guy is clearly unwilling to accept the Kwantung Army troops."  Worrying about surrender and blaming everything on yourself is just a poor excuse!¡±

    Seeing Feng Jiwu suddenly leave, Chief of Staff Nanye was shocked. He thought Feng Jiwu left in anger. At the same time, he felt a little relaxed. After all, among the two top commanders of the independent division, the one who left seemed to have a bad temper.  A little more irritable, the remaining one seemed to be easier to deal with, so he cautiously asked Han Tie: "General Han, look, what's next"

    Han Tie glanced at him coldly and said: "Okay, accept the surrender of the Liaoxi Kwantung Army. In this case, you rush back immediately and convey the order of the Independent Division Liaoxi Theater Command to all the Kwantung Army officers and soldiers in the encirclement.  1. From now on, all officers and soldiers of the Kwantung Army must immediately put down their weapons and pile them up in a centralized manner. Second, they must gather at designated locations in accordance with our requirements. Third, all Kwantung Army troops will still be in accordance with their original establishment.  There are soldiers, including the wounded, registered so that our army can count the number of prisoners of war!"

    "In addition, I will send a large number of liaison officers to follow you there to supervise your surrender. Finally, all officers of the Kwantung Army at the rank of junior or above must report to the location designated by our army after gathering their troops!"

    Since they all surrendered unconditionally, they naturally have no bargaining power. Han Tie said the same thing, and NanyeJust as the chief of staff agreed, Han Tie's sudden change of conversation and his ferocious tone made Chief of Staff Nanye, the Kwantung Army's surrender negotiator, feel chills all over.
