Age of Rebirth

Chapter 550

The troops in the Xuzhou theater under the command of Li Zongren were tightly encircled by Isoya Rensuke in Xiao County. They were very clear about their fate. When it started, it was the moment when the Chinese army launched its final blow. When they set off from Zhengzhou, they led 13 troops, and they were really invincible.

Once upon a time, Feng Shui was reversed, Kaifeng and Shangqiu were blocked again and again, and they were defeated by the city of Xuzhou. They were besieged in the land of Xiaoxian Maru, and there were only less than 3 people in their hands. Crowded in such a small area, the Chinese army would seize it if they fired a cannon. The lives of several imperial soldiers, why is this happening?

Under the dim light, Isotani Rensuke is like a sculpture, and his whole body is in a state of confusion. If you look closely, this confident and invincible commander in the past is now lax and dull, with a series of blows. It has completely drained his energy.

Surrounded by a large group of senior Japanese military officers who behaved similarly to him, these invaders who set foot on the land of China with bloody swords, ambitions of conquest and bloodthirsty desire, once they understood their destiny, they were destined to be unable to change , the spirit of samurai, the honor of the people of the Japanese Empire, etc., are smashed by reality like soap bubbles, and the cowardice, fear, panic, etc. hidden in the bones and deep in the heart are stripped of them emotionally. A veil of iron and blood. [

The desire to survive spread uncontrollably in their hearts. If they had the opportunity to surrender at this time, they would raise their hands without hesitation and walk into the prisoner-of-war camp. Of course, this was their secret plan in their hearts. Trying to save face, the room was as quiet as a cemetery. If it weren't for the sound of heavy breathing, under the flickering lights, these senior officers of the Japanese army would be like a group of wandering souls.

The silence at night is terrifying, without even a single gunshot. As a soldier, we all know that the silence on the battlefield is a sign before the storm. Tomorrow, they will bear the fierce attack of 10,000+ Chinese soldiers. The cold wind is blowing, and the night sky Dotted with stars, staring indifferently at this group of invaders who wanted to conquer a nation but faced the fate of death. Therefore, in this silent night, whether it was Rensuke Isotani or ordinary Japanese soldiers, they all felt chills from the bottom of their bones. This cold air travels through every cell in their bodies, until it reaches the depths of their souls.

The eastern sky was gradually showing a fish belly. Rensuke Isotani, who had been sitting withered all night, finally moved, surrounded him, and the senior Japanese officers who stayed with him all night discovered that their commander, Your Excellency, Mr. A lieutenant general of the Japanese Empire, with a dark beard covering his lips, he is also much older.

But in his eyes, there was a wolf-like desperate and ferocious light. Looking at him, these senior Japanese officers couldn't help shivering, and they roughly understood the choice they were about to face.

Isoya Rensuke looked at his subordinates, and said in a hoarse voice: "Masters, the situation of the war has reached the point of no return. You must be very clear about what fate we and the tens of thousands of imperial soldiers will face. We are the emperor. Your Majesty’s loyal subjects, the pride of the Imperial Army, must not let the despicable Chinese nation defile our personality, be surrounded by them like monkeys, and live in a prisoner-of-war camp of the Chinese.”

"For this reason, I have decided that all officers above the rank of major general in the First Army will cut themselves open to apologize to His Majesty the Emperor, and more importantly, use our blood to boost the morale of the soldiers and arouse their determination to fight the enemy bravely. Remember, The imperial warriors of the First Army can choose to die in battle, they can choose all the jade fragments, and they must not choose to be prisoners of Chinese soldiers!"

After Rensuke Isotani finished speaking, he stared fiercely at these senior officers. These officers felt a chill in their hearts. It's over, the chance of survival is gone, and tens of thousands of soldiers will be buried with him. This commander is already crazy, but, They had no choice, and the tradition of the Japanese army taught them this way.

The matter was decided in this way, and more than 100 young officers at the rank of second lieutenant to captain were selected to watch the spectacular scene of their commander committing suicide by caesarean section. Isoya Rensuke wanted to take this opportunity to arouse the fierceness of the soldiers, At the last moment of his life, he caused the greatest casualties to Chinese soldiers. Before he died, this guy actually used such perverted methods to deceive ordinary Japanese soldiers. It is really abhorrent.

A temporarily cleaned basement, with military blankets on the floor, more than a dozen senior officers of the Japanese army above the major generals, with their upper body bare, in front of each of them stood a two-foot-long samurai sword, a glass of sake, and a snow-white Towels, this is a three-piece set necessary for Japanese officers and soldiers to commit suicide by caesarean section. Of course, ordinary soldiers and junior officers do not have such high specifications.

Outside, the sound of rumbling guns suddenly sounded, shaking the basement into a cloud of dust. Isoya Rensuke glanced at the Japanese generals and said calmly, "Masters, it's time!" He picked up sake, raised his neck, poured it into his mouth, left half of it, sprayed it on the samurai sword, wiped the cold blade with a dusty towel, closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and stabbed the knife into himself belly.

Then, with both hands, he pulled horizontally to the left side, blood splashed on the army blanket suddenly, a pair of beast's heart, liver, spleen, lungs and intestines flowed all over the floor, and his body fell to the ground, still in constant convulsions, the moment when the blade entered his body For a moment, Isoya Rensuke seemed to see the white snow on Mount Fuji and the cherry blossoms falling all over the mountains and plains in his hometown, but his soul could never return to the Japanese archipelago.

Not all Japanese generals behaved as crisply as Isotani Rensuke. There were four or five senior officers whose hands were shaking with samurai swords, gesticulating on their stomachs, but couldn't do it , when they killed the Chinese, they were relentless, and there was a pleasure of conquest, but when it was their turn, they couldn't be cruel, and greeted themselves with knives. A few bloody corpses scared them to pieces guts.

Waiting to see the generals they admired, the low-level Japanese officers who accomplished feats, they were somewhat disappointed. These generals who are usually majestic and majestic are also cowards. Seeing the trembling hand, the samurai sword almost fell to the ground, and the one in charge of the ceremony The Colonel became impatient and gestured towards several officers.

Several young officers passed by, and two of them helped one, and finally stabbed the knife into their stomachs. This is also the Japanese rule. The stage is set up, and the audience is also in. You don’t want to continue acting, that’s not going to work, someone Help you go on, don’t get your intestines and stomach out, it’s not over, you can also play tricks on the spot, but don’t mix with the Japanese in the future, so most of the Japanese who committed suicide by caesarean section were raped Killed by his own countrymen.

Corpses were strewn all over the place, and the strong smell of blood mixed with the smell of internal organs made the low-ranking Japanese officers who watched the ceremony uncontrollably vomit. However, they had finally seen what mass suicide by caesarean section was. It is estimated that most of them, I will not follow this kind of trick that seems tragic but is actually farce and self-mutilation.

The news that all the generals committed suicide by caesarean section was quickly conveyed to every Japanese soldier. As expected by Rensuke Isotani, the heroic actions of these generals completely inspired the fighting will and inner ferocity of the Japanese soldiers. On a cold day, these Japanese soldiers took off their shirts, tied the white cloth straps with the words "Must Victory" on their heads, and pressed the bayonets on their [-] guns, and stood upright in the cold wind, ready to rush up. The Chinese soldiers fought to the death and used their lives to imitate the feats of the generals. For a while, there was a solemn and solemn atmosphere rising in the Japanese positions.

However, they were very disappointed. The idea of ​​bloodshed was just wishful thinking. Until the last trace of heat from the body was taken away by the cold wind, the shadow of the Chinese soldiers was not seen. Instead, they were greeted with cannons as dense as migratory locusts. Li Zongren, who has tasted the sweetness, will not let the dying mad dog splash a drop of blood on the soldiers, and leave the cannons unused, what kind of hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese?

The howling cannons smashed their heads and brains at the Japanese positions. The Japanese positions seemed to be boiling. In such a small area, all the artillery bombardments of the No. 20 First Army and the eight divisions of the Sichuan Army were concentrated. The density of the bombardment reached The extent of the explosions is impossible to calculate. The explosion points are one after the other, and the smoke column that was stirred up flew into the air with the remaining limbs and broken arms of the Japanese soldiers. The Japanese army's position was like a volcanic eruption, shrouded in thick smoke and rain In the middle, the slices flew horizontally, happily cutting the fleshy body of the Japanese soldier, bringing up a cloud of blood, and happily burrowing into the body of another Japanese soldier.

The Japanese soldiers cursed, the Chinese soldiers are cowards and cowards, they dare not face to face with the Imperial Japanese Army, the roaring cannons can't understand the Japanese birdsong, so they just keep saying hello, so some of the commanders Under the leadership of the Japanese army, the Japanese soldiers began to counterattack in despair. The warriors of the Great Japanese Empire should not die in this way. They should stab the bayonet into the chest of the Chinese soldier and die with a smile. The old man Amaterasu likes this kind of Japanese very much . [

They made a wrong calculation again. Xiao County is destined to be a place of despair where all Japanese soldiers will die unwillingly. What greets them is the roar of light and heavy machine guns. Li Zongren is very creative. Concentrated on the forefront positions, there is no threat of Japanese artillery fire. These light and heavy machine guns that spit out flames are the best killers.

Thousands of light and heavy machine guns formed an impenetrable fire net. The Japanese army's desperate counterattack just sent more live targets and corpses everywhere.

The bombardment lasted for two full hours. The Japanese army's position in Xiao County was as desolate as the moon. Li Zongren was deeply shocked by the firepower of this large-scale bombardment. He put down the binoculars and looked at Liao Lei beside him Said: "Let's begin!"
