Agents of the Republic of China

Asaka Gong 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 contradictions among the Japanese military.The main force of the Japanese army is scattered on various battlefields in Asia. Now, the Japanese mainland is already in a situation where the Russian army and the Allied forces are attacking from the north to the south.It is true that there are still a group of generals who can be appointed in the mainland, but there are different opinions on who should be appointed to take on the task of countering the rebellion.

Generals of the imperial way faction such as Masaki Jinzaburo must not be recognized by the top army, and generals such as Ishihara Kanji who represent pragmatism in the army will also not be requisitioned, and the few remaining choices more or less represent According to the interests of various factions, no matter who is appointed, there will be opposition voices.

Because of this, King Jiuyan of Chaoxiang Palace, who has been jumping up and down, unwilling to be ordinary and lonely, suddenly became the most suitable candidate.

First, he is a member of the royal family, so appointing him will at least not attract criticism; second, he has also led soldiers and fought in battles, so he cannot be regarded as an idiot 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 the familiar name, and his nose was almost crooked.But when Umezu Yoshijiro and others from the Ministry of the Army listed the reasons one by one, Hirohito was speechless immediately, and had to hold his nose and sign the appointment decree.

Therefore, Asaka Palace Hatohiko took office under such circumstances.

The main body of the Kyushu Crusade Army consists of two parts, one part is the original Kyushu garrison, and this part is basically the original reserve force, with average combat effectiveness and poor equipment.The other part is one of the standing divisions drawn back, part of the No. 11 division, this force is the backbone of the Kyushu Crusade Army.

Asaka Gong Hatohiko used to serve as the commander of the Shanghai Dispatch Army, so there is nothing to say about his prestige and qualifications.At the beginning of taking office, he began to vigorously appoint officers from the standing field division, promoted some officers from the No. 11 division, and gradually took over the entire command of the crusade army, and seconded several officers from the Army University to form a staff team.It should be said that these measures of his are still effective. After taking over, he won several victories. He drove the rebels back to Kyushu from the Zhoufang and Nagato areas, and then swept Kitakyushu with a devastating force. Even Hirado, the home 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 the Kanto cheer. Now it seems that the rebels in Kyushu are just a mob composed of mud legs. As long as they are calmed down quickly, the end of the country can continue , the domestic situation finally has some improvement.

As the supreme commander of the Kyushu Crusade Army, Asaka Miyato Hatohiko didn't think so.Because he was on the battlefield, he knew the specific situation far more comprehensively than the base camp.In his view, although the combat effectiveness of the rebel army is not an elite division, it must never be described as a "crowd". It is true that the main body of the rebel army is indeed starving people, bankrupt farmers, and handicraftsmen, but these people are After more than a year of fighting, it has grown rapidly and has transformed into a qualified army unit.Moreover, their equipment is not inferior to the standing divisions, and there is a most elite force among them. Their number is only a thousand, but they are elusive, and they have wiped out the invading enemies far exceeding their own number.Moreover, their tactics are flexible and changeable. This series of victories has not touched their main force. It is still too early to talk about quelling the rebellion.The most troublesome thing is that this is Japan, and there is no market for Asakamiya Hatohiko's most proud scorched-earth tactics. If he wields the butcher's knife again, it is certain that Hirohito and the base camp will abolish him as soon as possible .

Therefore, the current Asaka Palace Hatohiko is quite in a dilemma.

So, under such circumstances, Asaka Miya Hatohiko's troops captured the important town of Nagasaki.

Fukuda Heihachiro's deputy, Aoyama, stood firm in Nagasaki for just one day, and then announced the fall of the city. It wasn't that Aoyama didn't do his best, but that the troops assigned to him were only 1 people, and they were all miscellaneous troops. However, the elite troops he had expected did not come here one by one.

The battle was far from fierce. As for the reason for the victory, it was due to the collapse of Nagasaki's defenders. When the crusade army rushed into the city, they captured a large number of rebel soldiers. As long as these soldiers, Asakamiya Hatohiko At a glance, I knew that these were just cannon fodder, and the real main force of the rebel army had long since slipped away.

Asaka Miya Hatohiko rode a war horse, surrounded by his subordinates, and entered Nagasaki City with a heavy heart.Fortunately, not long after, a message was sent from his subordinates, which lifted his spirits.

It is said that around Nagasaki, there are a large number of shadows of the main force of the rebel army, including traces of elite troops and heavy troops. It seems that they are preparing to fight the crusade army in Nagasaki to the death.

Hearing this news, King Chaoxiang Palace Jiuyan suddenly became excited. What he was most afraid of was that Pan Zhijun would retreat all the way and go south into the mountains of Southern Kyushu.

Now it seems that the rebels deliberately use the long-term defenders as bait to lure the crusade army to attack, and then surround them on all sides, intending to decide the overall situation of Kyushu in one battle.But what they didn't expect was that the Nagasaki defenders could not help fighting so much. Now the tactics of outflanking the outside and blooming in the center will definitely not be realized.

This is indeed a god-sent opportunity for Asaka Palace Hatohiko. If he can gather and annihilate the main force of the rebel army in Nagasaki, he will become the first real "famous general" of the royal family. I can't help feeling hot all over my body.He immediately ordered the troops to shrink into Nagasaki to show weakness, attracting a large group of rebels to surround Nagasaki as soon as possible, and at the same time ordered nearby troops to quickly move closer to him.

But one day passed, Asaka Miyato Hatohiko still couldn't wait for the shadow of the rebels. According to the report from the front troops, the rebels kept contacting the vanguard troops. The two sides fought several sporadic battles, but the rebels never made up their minds. Determined to advance in the direction of Nagasaki.

During this period, Hatohiko Asaka received a piece of news about Hiroshima.Hiroshima is bombed by new U.S. Air Force bombs, killing and injuring 10 people.From Asaka Miya Hatohiko's heart, he doesn't value any new bombs very much. In his opinion, this is just another intensive bombing by the US military, but it also reminded him from the side that a large number of troops gathered in Nagasaki , It is not a good thing, once the US military attacks, the local defense capabilities will be absolutely irresistible, and by then, it will become the burial place for tens of thousands of army soldiers.Therefore, the most urgent task is to fight the rebels as soon as possible.Chao Xianggong Hatohiko secretly said in the letter: "Wait another day, if you still can't start the war tomorrow, then immediately disperse out of the city and continue to pursue the rebels north."

The sporadic battles in the city continued until the early hours of the morning, so Hatohiko Asakamiya did not fall asleep until the early hours of the morning. When he woke up rubbing his sleepy eyes, the sky had already brightened, and the guards outside the door Cautiously calling his name softly.

King Chaoxiang Palace Hatohiko jumped up from the bed and looked at his watch. The time was ten o'clock in the morning.

The wooden door cup was pulled open, and he shouted at Xianggong Jiuyan: "What is the movement of the rebels?"

The guard replied: "Just received the news from the vanguard that the rebels have withdrawn to the south!"

Asaka Miyato Hatohiko shook his head in disappointment, sighed softly, and then ordered: "The troops will follow the previous plan, and immediately leave the city in batches and pursue south!"

The guard looked troubled, "Your Excellency, the battle in the city has just ended, should the soldiers take a short rest?"

Hatohiko Asakamiya roared angrily, "Nagasaki is close to the sea and within the attack range of the Allied fighter planes. Since so many troops can't go to war, they are a living target for the bombers in one city. Don't you even have this reason? don't know!"

"Hi Yi!" The guard hurriedly agreed.

"It's ten o'clock in the morning. Order all the troops to complete the assembly within an hour and leave the city as a whole!"

Asaka Miyato Hatohiko drove away the guards, washed himself, and then led a group of staff officers and officers out of the temporary command post. It was almost eleven o'clock at this time, and the order on the street had returned to calm. They got out of the pile and started another busy day. They are no longer strangers to war.

Across the street, many soldiers in full gear gathered, pointing at an abandoned four-story building.

Asaka Gong Hatohiko frowned, and even though some guards stepped forward to disperse the onlookers, but when the guards came back to report, their faces were extremely ugly, "Your Excellency, the soldiers found a slogan in that building, it should be Hang it up last night!"

Looking up at Hatohiko Chaoxiang, a white cloth banner about one and a half meters wide and seven meters long was hanging on the top floor of the building, swaying with the wind, and a row of large red Japanese characters on it was particularly eye-catching: "For Nanjing Sacrifice for the dead soldiers and civilians, Asaka Palace Hatohiko was buried here"

Asaka Palace Hatohiko's heart shrank fiercely, "Baga, who did it, who did it!" The First Battle of Nanjing was the pinnacle of Asaka Palace Hatohiko's military career. He conquered the enemy's capital and was the temporary commander of the Shanghai Dispatch Army. The biggest record of the war is also a highlight in his personal military career.

Now there are actually people who want to avenge the dead and injured Chinese people in Nanjing. How can this make Asaka Gong Jiuyan not become angry from embarrassment.

"Hurry up and take it off, and immediately find out who hung it up, and we must find the mastermind behind it!" A staff officer shouted.

Asaka Gong Hatohiko's face was flushed red, and sweat dripped from his forehead. After being furious, he suddenly noticed something was wrong. This is Japan, but the tone of this post is clearly written by the Chinese. Could it be that, Have you fallen into a conspiracy?He suddenly remembered the ancient Chinese art of war stories that had fascinated him, one scene after another.

"Quick, quickly order the troops to withdraw from the city!" Asaka Gong Hatohiko didn't know what was going to happen, but he instinctively gave the order to retreat in view of the imminent danger.

At this time, the air defense siren sounded without warning, shrill and ear-piercing.

The city was in chaos, and the retreating troops coincided with an Allied air strike, which added to the chaos.

Asaka Gong Hatohiko stared blankly at the sky, "Could it be that this is my burial place?"

There was no whistling of bombs, let alone heart-pounding screams.In mid-air, an unusually bright light flashed across the sky. It seemed that there was a sun in the sky suddenly. Immediately, the earth began to tremble violently, and a bewitching mushroom cloud appeared from the ground like a monster. It grew bigger and bigger. It started from the center of the crag, rolled and devoured it in all directions.

In fact, when the light flashed by, Asaka Miyato Hatohiko's eyes could no longer see anything.He just held the samurai sword in his hand in fear, and felt the increasingly intense hurricane blankly, until the black clouds engulfed him in it, instantly turned into countless dust, and was engulfed by the hurricane and charged towards the boundless darkness.

The whole of Nagasaki went to hell in an instant.
