Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 428 I'm sorry for you

The Japanese North China Dispatch Army was following the battle plan formulated by Neiji Okamura. The Japanese Twelfth Army first carried out a large-scale mopping up of our Eighth Route Army troops in Lu Province. In the early days, the Eighth Route Army in each base area could only continue to shrink its troops and head towards the Yimeng Mountains. transfer.

The Japanese army mobilized more than [-] people to encircle the Yimeng mountain area with multiple lines and multiple echelons of iron walls, and a large number of puppet troops assisted in the blockade.

At this time, more than 115 people from the division headquarters of the [-]th Division and the Shandong Sub-bureau were besieged by the Japanese army in the Liutian area.
Just when everyone had different opinions on the direction of breaking out, whether to enter the coastal base area eastward or to enter Mengshan Mountain westward.

After careful analysis of the enemy's situation, Commissar Luo of the 115th Division advocated breaking out in the direction of the Japanese-occupied area in the south, changing from passive to active.

LY, an important town in the south, was the base camp of the Japanese army, but the Japanese army had concentrated in the Yimeng Mountains in the north, so the rear must be empty, and the defense force was weak. Moreover, the Japanese army had always been arrogant, and it would never have occurred to the Eighth Route Army to advance to its old nest.

This proposition was soon unanimously approved by everyone. After going south, the team detoured through the enemy's gaps, and after breaking through three Japanese blockades one after another, they found that the enemy's rear defense was empty. encircled by .

Compared with the Twelfth Army in Lu Province, the sweep of the First Army in Jin Province ended in disgrace.

First in the southeast of Shanxi, the main force of the [-]st Division of the Japanese Army was wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, and then faced with the active offensive of the National Army in Zhongtiao Mountain in the south of Shanxi, the Japanese army lost ground one after another.

Finally, the National Army even reported that the Changzhi area had been recovered by the National Army, and the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the people across the country was high.

In the eyes of the Japanese army, although the national army organized counterattacks many times, all of them ended in failure. This defeat was regarded by the Japanese army as the biggest defeat since its development.

The news quickly spread to Japan, and many high-level officials in the Japanese army base camp were extremely outraged.

While international allies were making strides in Europe, high-level Japanese military leaders were eager to resolve the incident in China and aimed at Southeast Asia, which was richer in resources.

At this moment, the defeat of the Japanese army in southern Shanxi and southeastern Shanxi is undoubtedly a hindrance to the established national policy formulated by the Japanese army base camp.

The defeat of the war, of course, the Japanese base camp must be held accountable, Okamura Ningji, as the commander of the North China Dispatch Army, is inevitably responsible for dereliction of duty.

However, Okamura Neiji, as one of the Showa Sanyuwu, the core figure of the Showa warlords, and the members of the group behind him continued to work hard, so Okamura Neiji only received a telegram reprimanded by the little devil emperor.

Yoshio Shinozuka, as the commander of the Japanese First Army, was the first to bear the brunt of the responsibility for the defeat in the defense zone, and he undoubtedly became the best candidate to take the blame.

Taiyuan, the headquarters of the Japanese First Army.

In a secret room, mats and thick quilts are spread on the floor, and fine sand is sprinkled on it to absorb blood and filth.

The three sides of the secret room are surrounded by curtains, and the four corners are lit with white lanterns and many white candles.

Chief of Staff of the North China Dispatch Army Moritake Tanabe and Yoshio Shinozuka knelt on the ground around a table.

The expression on Shinozuka Yoshio's face was neither sad nor happy. After the defeat in the war, Shinozuka Yoshio understood that he was doomed to blame.

"Tanabe-kun, thank General Okamura for me, for giving me the way an imperial soldier should die!" Yoshio Shinozuka raised a glass of wine, gestured at Moritake Tanabe, and drank it down.

"Hey, Shinozuka-kun, you are a warrior of the Great Japanese Empire, and I admire you!" Mori Tanabe lowered his head, showing great respect.

Moritake Tanabe came here to act as Yoshio Shinozuka's intermediary, while Toshi Miyano, the chief of staff of the First Army, was directly dismissed, escorted back to the country, and sent to a military court.

"Tanabe-kun, I don't know who the headquarters will arrange to take over my position?"

"The base camp appointed Yoshio Iwamatsu as the commander of the First Army, and Masa Hanagu as the chief of staff!"

"Yoxi, I hope Iwamatsu-kun can make some achievements in the security battle in the rear!" Shinozuka Yoshio said in a deep voice.

The rib cage used for seppuku was placed under the knife with a white cloth. Yoshio Shinozuka picked up the rib cage and gently slid his fingers over it.

"When I was young, I wanted to be a teacher who taught and educated people, but unfortunately I joined the military. In a blink of an eye, thirty-five years have passed!"

"In the past thirty-five years, I have witnessed the step-by-step growth of the Great Japanese Empire, first defeating the Goose Country, and then occupying China. It is a pity that I cannot see the time when the light of the Showa era shines on the world!" Yoshio Shinozuka felt quite regretful Said.

"Mr. Shinozuka, please rest assured that the sun flag of the Great Japanese Empire will be planted all over the world!" For a dying person, Tanabe Moritake was full of patience.

Afterwards, Yoshio Shinozuka picked up a glass of salt water with firm eyes, drank it in one gulp, and shouted: "Long live the Emperor!"

Then he uncovered the kimono, picked up the rib cage, and slowly cut it open on his belly from left to right. Beads of sweat kept flowing on Yoshio Shinozuka's face.

Generally speaking, laparotomy has one, two, three, and cross shapes. The so-called "one-shaped" means that the left rib is pierced into the abdomen, and then stretched horizontally to the right abdomen in a one-line shape.

The "two-shaped, three-shaped" is based on the "one-shaped", and then drawn vertically from the chest to the navel.

The "cruciform" is the most painful. The laparotomy has to cut the "cross" shape in his abdomen without assistance from anyone, so that all the internal organs flow out, and eventually he dies due to excessive blood loss.

Yoshio Shinozuka adopted the straight line, and his face was full of pain at this time, but this old devil was really cruel, and he hit him even harder, his eyes widened, and the strength in his hands continued to increase.

Moritake Tanabe, who was acting as the intermediary, was holding a Taidao in his hand, but his body was trembling slightly, obviously his heart was not at peace.

Finally, Yoshio Shinozuka put the ribs used for seppuku in front of him, then put his knees together, leaned forward, and fell to the ground in front of him.

The blood stained the thick quilt on the floor red, Tanabe Moritake stepped forward and touched Yoshio Shinozuka's breath, then bowed his head and said, "Mr. Shinozuka, you are a real warrior!"

After speaking, he walked out of the house, and two Japanese military officers waited for a long time outside the door.

"Contain Shinozuka-kun's body!"

"Hi!"

And outside the headquarters building.

Many fanatical Japanese officers and soldiers blocked the exit of the building, and many little devils sat kneeling at the door, performing the ritual of self-abuse, as if they wanted to follow Yoshio Shinozuka.

However, some little devils obviously did not have the perseverance of Shinozuka Yoshio, and in the end the pain was exhausted, and the ceremony could only be ended by the intermediary on the side.

Moritake Tanabe, who came out to see this scene, was not outraged, but praised him greatly.

"It seems that Shinozuka-kun is very popular in the First Army, warriors, Shinozuka-kun is a real warrior!" Moritake Tanabe shouted.

In Japan, no matter how big a crime he committed, as long as he chooses to commit suicide by caesarean section, he will be sought after by people after death. There is no doubt that this is a ridiculous way to cover up crimes and wash away stigma.
