Age of Rebirth

Han Tie's words were resounding and full of strong self-confidence. Major General Nanno Akita, the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army's Supreme Command in the western Liaoning region and the chief of staff of the First Army, was startled at first, and took a few steps back. Terribly pale.

Major General Nanye had no doubts about the words of the commander of the Independent Division Corps. On the way to the headquarters of the First Brigade, he saw frightening scenes. There were artillery positions of the Independent Division everywhere, with black muzzles pointing obliquely at the sky. The artillery is heavily arrayed, all of which are large-caliber howitzers, which are larger than the field artillery currently owned by the First Army.

Major General Nanye should pay attention, the number of large-caliber howitzers in the artillery positions of each independent division is at least more than 200. There are more than one such artillery positions. Heavy equipment such as artillery is ready to go. He knows that this is the commander of the Independent Division. Before the negotiation, he deliberately showed off his force and gave himself a disgrace. Even so, it also shows that the current Independent Division troops are definitely capable of destroying the Kwantung Army in western Liaoning. ability.

Chief of Staff Minano stabilized his mind and thought very sadly, "Before coming, Commander Kashii Shiro repeatedly emphasized that the negotiations on surrender this time are not for the imperial Kwantung Army's inability to fight anymore, but for the sake of hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army troops." Considering the lives of the soldiers, they are unwilling to reproduce the slaughter, and the condition of the negotiation is that the troops of the Kwantung Army in western Liaoning should give up all their heavy equipment, and the officers and soldiers should carry self-defense weapons with them.”

"In addition, the Independent Division must agree to allow the soldiers of the Kwantung Army in western Liaoning to return to their homeland. They must not announce all the details of their surrender. In other words, although we have put down our weapons, we must leave Manchuria with dignity, otherwise, we will not hesitate to fight!"

"Your Excellency, Commander, you are so far-fetched!" Chief of Staff Nanye smiled wryly. "The commander of the independent division surnamed Han made it clear that if it wasn't for the order of Tang Qiuli, the devil of China, they wouldn't want to negotiate at all!"

Only now did Chief of Staff Nanye realize the burden on his shoulders.As heavy as a mountain, the conditions of Commander Kashii Shiro, now it seems, may be wishful thinking.Although it is so.However, Chief of Staff Minano still bit the bullet and said: "Two generals, regarding the surrender of the Kwantung Army of the Great Japanese Empire to your army, our condition is..."

Before Nanye could finish his words, Feng Jiwu interrupted him violently, "Nanye, if you surrender, you should have the consciousness to surrender. Don't ask me any conditions, our conditions are just that. Soldiers of the Kwantung Army in the encirclement, put down Weapons, unconditional surrender, everything is subject to our army's arrangement, now, you don't have the qualifications and strength to negotiate conditions, and I don't want to waste time bargaining with you Japanese!"

"Let me tell you a word, you can only survive if you lay down your weapons, otherwise, I don't mind disobeying the orders of my superiors, I will remind you with cannonballs, you speak Chinese very fluently, you should understand the meaning of this sentence , 'I will be outside, and the military order will not be accepted!'”

Domineering, domineering, Feng Jiwu had never thought of negotiating with the Kwantung Army, and he could save his life by putting down his weapons. As for what conditions to offer, in Feng Jiwu's view, it was wishful thinking. The bottom line, far from it, surrendered unconditionally, blocking all of Kashii Shiro's luck.

However, since we have come to negotiate, we still have to say the conditions that should be said, and try to fight for it, just go back like this, what's the matter, Chief of Staff Nanye made up his mind, and said Kashii Shiro's conditions in full over again.

"Hahaha!" Feng Jiwu burst out laughing suddenly, his eyes were like knives, scratching the nerves of Chief of Staff Nanye, "Nanye, your commander Kashii Shiro, didn't he lose his head? Or was he dumbfounded by the bombing? You bastards who have occupied the Northeast for many years, leaving decently? It’s ridiculous, now I declare that the negotiations have broken down, Minano, you go back and tell Kashii Shiro that the only way out for you is to surrender unconditionally!”

After finishing speaking, Feng Jiwu shouted: "Chief of Staff!"

Zhang Hansheng, who was standing next to him, suppressed a smile in his heart. He knew that this was a bluff by the two commanders. Of course he had to cooperate. He immediately took a few steps forward, stood at attention and said, "Commander Feng, please give me an order!"

A smile flashed across Feng Jiwu's eyes, and he said loudly: "Chief of Staff, convey my order. An hour later, the troops will launch a full-scale attack to gather and annihilate all Kwantung Army soldiers in the encirclement, and tell all troops that no one will be left prisoner!" We have no surplus food to feed the invaders!"

Feng Jiwu's words smacked of blood. Chief of Staff Nanye knew that the two commanders of the independent division in front of him were definitely full of murderous intent. General, you can't do this, please think again!"

Han Tie said slowly: "What are you thinking about? Commander Feng has made it very clear just now. In view of the fact that during the surrender negotiations, the Kwantung Army negotiators were insincere and made unreasonable demands. The negotiations have broken down. Only one The battle is possible! Chief of Staff, after the offensive begins, order all artillery units to shell for two hours, it is an all-round, full-coverage shelling, and we have sufficient shells!"

Chief of Staff Nanye almost fainted from fright. If it is, this major general surnamed Feng is ruthless enough, then this major general surnamed Han is even more ruthless. After two hours of bombardment, hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Kwantung Army may be left without bones. I fully understand that the two commanders of the independent division have no intention of negotiating at all.

"Two generals, please calm down. Give me a few minutes to contact Commander Kashii Shiro. After asking for instructions, I will give your army a clear answer. Is this possible?" Chief of Staff Nanye continued to plead.

Feng Jiwu and Han Tie met their eyes, and Feng Jiwu said coldly: "Well, I will give you this opportunity to use our radio station to contact that Kashii Shiro, and take the words of Commander Han and me exactly the same. Pass it over quickly, March 10 minutes, you only have thirty minutes, Director of Communications, take them to send a telegram!"

"Thank you for the kindness of the two generals!" Chief of Staff Nanye bowed deeply, feeling weak all over his body, feeling like he had escaped from death. Those Kwantung Army officers also wanted to follow. Shang Jinshu, commander of the guard company of the [-]rd Brigade of the Marine Corps, said: "Shang Jinshu, let these little devils be quiet!"

Shang Jinshu waved his hand, and more than a dozen soldiers of the Marine Corps came up and unceremoniously gave the three Kwantung Army chiefs and five majors a few gun stocks, especially when they handed over the command saber just now, they jumped up and down. The five majors took extra care of him. He swung the butt of his gun round and said, "Hold your head with your hands and squat down!" Under the yelling of the soldiers, the eight junior officers of the Kwantung Army had no choice but to feel aggrieved. Putting your head in your hands, squatting aside, the hatred in your heart!

Feng Jiwu took a sip of tea comfortably, and asked Han Tie, "How is it, Commander Han?"

Han Tie replied with a smile: "It's wonderful! The use of Xia Mawei is just right!"

"Can you surrender?"

"Sure, the turtle in the urn has no other way but to surrender!"

"Be prepared to fight, the little devil can't be deduced with common sense!"

"I agree that using strikes to promote surrender is also one of the means! If you don't fight, it's fine. If you fight, you must use thunderous momentum to completely dispel the luck of the Kwantung Army commander!"

In the short conversation, Feng Jiwu and Han Tie had a tacit understanding, "Chief of Staff, order the troops to prepare for the battle against the Kwantung Army's dog jumping over the wall!" Feng Jiwu said to Zhang Hansheng.

Feng Jiwu and Han Tie were waiting for Chief of Staff Nanye to ask for instructions from Lieutenant General Kashiishiro, the supreme commander of the Kwantung Army in western Liaoning. Lieutenant General Kashiishiro, who was in the encirclement, hid in a secluded corner and planned to write to the base camp. Telegram.

In the telegram, Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro deliberately emphasized the current difficulties and huge casualties faced by the Kwantung Army troops in western Liaoning, and said that no matter what kind of difficulties they face, he will command all the Kwantung Army troops to fight to the end and fight to the death. to the last person.

At the end of the telegram, Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro wrote, "...There is no food and grass inside, no reinforcements outside, and more than one million tigers and wolves in the independent division are watching. In addition, our Kwantung Army troops have completely lost their air supremacy. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Imperial Kwantung Army are trapped in a corner, and the battlefield space has been suffocated. Today, the situation on the battlefield in western Liaoning is irreversible, and the fate of the Imperial Kwantung Army is already doomed!"

"I can't bear to say anything about all these things. The only thing I can do is fight to the death! It's the responsibility and duty of the Imperial Japanese Army. The Ministry will fight to the end. Maybe there is a glimmer of life to preserve a trace of blood for the Kwantung Army!"

Of course, Lieutenant General Kashiishiro did not dare to mention in the telegram that he had already sent his chief of staff, Major General Nanno Akita, to discuss the surrender with the commander of the Independent Division. Just a few words of wanting to surrender, immediately, will bring great disasters to the local relatives and families, factions in the imperial world, His Majesty the Emperor's ruthlessness, meanness and ungratefulness, as a senior general of the Japanese army Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro, is too clear!

Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro's original intention was that he would not surrender. However, at the previous military meeting, several other army commanders showed that they did not want to fight anymore. In fact, it was not these stubborn and stubborn senior Kwantung Army The general doesn't want to fight, but the current Kwantung Army soldiers don't have the courage to fight again.

After finishing the long telegram, Lieutenant General Kashiishi almost exhausted all his energy and energy. The shame and pain tormented his heart, so that he was in a trance. A senior staff officer walked up to him, Did not notice in time.
