The Red War God of Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 301 Encircling and Annihilating Hisao Tani 2

However, just after Hisao Tani issued the postscript order, Kenji Doihara's telegram arrived. Doihara's telegram only contained a short sentence: "The Chinese navy has blocked the Yangtze River!"

"Ba la!" Hisao Tani, with a strong personality, panicked and smashed a teacup at hand after seeing this line of words.Gu Hisao has calculated thousands of times, but he has not counted the National Defense Forces Navy, which is enough to wipe out the 11th Army.

Hisao Tani is in the army, so he doesn't know much about the navy. Besides, he subconsciously doesn't think that the Chinese have any decent navy.But this omission is enough to destroy the 11th Army!

Tani Hisao, who has always been authoritarian, had to find several division heads to discuss countermeasures.

"Your Excellency, Commander, since we can't cross the Yangtze River north, we might as well stay and fight to the death with the China National Defense Forces!" Lieutenant General Shanpu Gangqing, head of the 115th Division, gritted his teeth.

Like Tani Hisao, Yamaura Kokiyoshi was also a fanatical activist for the invasion of China.

"If our heavy artillery, tanks, and heavy ammunition had not been bombed by the Chinese army, it would be worth fighting to the death with the Chinese army at this time!" Lieutenant General Higashihara Kiji of the Japanese 32nd Division was not optimistic about the decisive battle in place.

Although Hisao Tani made the move of "resisting orders and not surrendering", not everyone in the five divisions of the 11th Army thought the same as Hisao Tani. For example, Kiji Higashihara, his 5nd Division was It was newly formed, and it had been training in Jiading before, and there was also a wing stationed at Hongqiao Airport, and it was not very familiar with Lieutenant General Hisao Tani before.For this series of reasons, his views on the battle situation are very different from those of Tani Hisao.

Higashihara Kiji believes that if the 11th Army succeeds in crossing the Yangtze River north, even if it still has to surrender to the Chinese in the future, it will be considered a success.But Hisao Tani did not talk about the strategy of "crossing the Yangtze River north". If Hisao Tani did, Kiji Higashihara might suggest that Hisao Tani should pay special attention to the movements of the Chinese Navy.

In addition, Higashihara Kiji did not think that the 11th Army had any other way out.To attack Nanjing to the west, it is difficult for the 11th Army, which lacks ammunition, to break through the German weapon reorganization division composed of more than 10 Nanjing government; to return to Shanghai to the east is obviously impossible; to cross the Yangtze River to the north, it suddenly becomes impossible; to the south ?It's even more of a joke, because the two armies of the China National Defense Army with 30 troops are chasing after them.

In this state of being besieged on all sides, Gu Hisao could not escape the fate of being surrounded and annihilated even though he had all kinds of means.

"Higashihara-kun, I have one thing to ask you." At the end of the meeting, Tani Hisao left Kiji Higashihara behind.

"Your Excellency, what's the matter, please tell me." Higashihara Kiji stopped and said.

"I think the Chinese Army will not give us a chance to leave, so I would like to ask you to act as the commander of the 11th Army." Gu Hisao said calmly.

"Your Excellency, General, you can't do this!" Although Higashihara Kiji has an official addiction, he knows that the commander of the 11th Army is not easy to be.

"Mr. Dongyuan, please don't refuse. Because if I don't die, it means that nearly 11 imperial soldiers of the 10th Army will be buried with me! And as long as I die, these 10 imperial soldiers can Return to the country safely. Mr. Dongyuan, do you know the difference?" The meeting just now did not reach any valuable opinions or suggestions, but Gu Hisao suddenly understood that the steps he took at noon and afternoon today have already Completely ruined his vitality.

"Your Excellency, General, I understand your feelings and respect your choice, but why didn't you choose Yamaura-kun to preside over the 11th Army?" Higashihara Kiji quickly figured out the reason. Only this last move saved the lives of 10 imperial soldiers.

General Matsui Iwane has put down his arms, and other soldiers of the Imperial Army can return home safely, but his soldiers of the 11th Army were wiped out because of Gu Hisao alone. Gu Hisao will not only become a sinner of the Japanese nation, even if other Family members will also be humiliated or even assassinated by the families of officers and soldiers of the 11th Army!

"If it's a charge, I will definitely choose him. However, the next step is to contact the Chinese army, but you are none other than you!" Tani Hisao said.

"This... okay." Higashihara Kiji agreed with some embarrassment, because he really couldn't tell whether Tani Hisao's words were praising him or belittling him.

Ten minutes later, Hisao Tani sent a secret telegram to the Japanese base camp, saying that he was going to commit suicide to report to the emperor, and at the same time recommended Kiji Higashihara as the acting commander of the 10th Army.

Half an hour later, Gu Hisao committed suicide by caesarean section in a private house in Shuangfeng Town.

An hour later, Kiji Higashihara, acting as the acting commander of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army, issued an order to surrender to the Chinese National Defense Force in person.This is the only order issued by Kiji Higashihara in his life as the commander of the Israeli army.

When Kiji Higashihara issued the order to surrender the 11th Army, from the southeast, the Fourth and Sixth Army of the National Defense Forces had advanced to Kunshan and Taicang, and the forward troops had found traces of the Japanese army; The Ministry of National Defense has reached Yangcheng Lake, and the furthest from the Japanese army is only about ten kilometers away.

Even if the Japanese army does not surrender, at most half an hour later, the two sides will meet fire on a large scale.

When the news of the surrender of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army reached the naval flagship "Dingyuan 01", Wu Aihua had already fallen asleep, because he used the "Dragon Nest" again at the Yangtze River Estuary and Chongming Island to attack small Japanese ships and Chongming Island. The Japanese army's fortifications were "collected and destroyed", and they were really exhausted.

However, the surrender of the Japanese 11th Army was a major event. Duan Shengen, Commander of the First Fleet of the Navy, and Lin Guozhang, Commander of the Navy, still took some risks to call Wu Aihua in time.

The navy general's understanding of Wu Aihua is far less profound and comprehensive than that of the army. If he were an army general, he would definitely not wake up Wu Aihua at this time, but just hand over the news to the security adjutant Shen Ren, and Shen Ren will know the news Judge the importance and decide whether to wake up the commander-in-chief.

"Where is Hisao Gu? How could it be Kiji Higashihara?" After Wu Aihua woke up, he was not happy because the 11th Army put down its weapons, but asked about Hisao Gu's whereabouts. It can be seen how deep Wu Aihua's resentment towards Hisao Gu was.

"Tani Hisao? There is no information about him in the intelligence." Lin Guozhang said.

"Send a report to Ye Si and order all the troops to move forward steadily according to the established deployment. We must prevent the Japanese army from breaking out of the siege and counterattack! We must especially prevent Gu Hisao and senior Japanese officers from absconding!" Wu Aihua thought for a while, and then said yes Lin Guozhang and Duan Sheng'en said, "The naval fleet should strengthen patrols, and if they find ships on the river, they should immediately go forward to interrogate them. If they encounter ships that do not cooperate with the interrogation, they will be shot and killed!"

"Yes." The two replied with a salute.

Obviously, the two naval generals understood what Commander-in-Chief Wu was concerned about.

Why did the Japanese base camp, which was so arrogant before, happily choose to surrender on the spot at this time?It cannot but be said that Wu Aihua has used a certain amount of thought.

The National Defense Force officer responsible for negotiating the surrender with the Japanese East China Front Command was Major General Lin Fengxiang, Chief of Staff of the 024 Division.Before he set off, Wu Aihua personally sent a report to the 024 Division, giving some surrender conditions, the most important of which are two: First, all Japanese soldiers who lay down their weapons, after negotiations between the two countries and the two armies, the National Defense Forces can Let them all go back to Japan; second, the senior generals of the Japanese army in this war, the National Defense Forces will not investigate the crimes they committed in China, but they will not be allowed to take any military positions that are unfavorable to China!

Wu Aihua did not think too much about whether such "cheap" Japanese prisoners would bear the corresponding political responsibility, but Wu Aihua would not explain anything to other people in the society.Even at the top of the National Defense Forces, Wu Aihua's decision was not very clear. They just vaguely felt that Commander-in-Chief Wu's actions must have some deep meaning.

Of course, Wu Aihua's move has "deep meaning". The system is willing to take action, which shows that Wu Aihua has the ability to maintain the security and unity of the country at any time. He is not afraid that Japan will become bigger because of this, but hopes that Japan will grow bigger than in history!In history, Japan was almost the enemy of the whole world except Germany in World War II, which means that if the Japanese are fattened up, the world will be more exciting.

However, he would never have dictated these words.

Perhaps in his later years, Wu Aihua will reveal this shocking secret in his memoirs.I just don't know how the Japanese will feel when the time comes. It turns out that since 1937, the Japanese nation and the Japanese army are just a pawn in Wu Aihuaruo's big chess game!

Perhaps, at that time, the Japanese will feel awe of China.

After the 11th Army of the Japanese Army announced the news of its surrender, the National Defense Forces continued to advance step by step and did not rush forward to capture prisoners. However, Huang Wei and Wang Dongyuan, the two division commanders of the 11th Reorganized Division and the 15th Reorganized Division of the National Army, pleasantly ordered the troops to Accelerate forward, must capture some Japanese soldiers, this is a military exploit!

Even if 100 people can be captured, it is a great achievement in the national army system.

At about 3 o'clock in the middle of the night on March 6, the vanguard of the 1th Reorganized Division of the National Army formally contacted the Japanese army.

However, the Japanese army still ran forward crazily, completely ignoring the pursuing national army.Seeing this, the battalion commander of the national army screamed angrily, and immediately ordered his soldiers to shoot at the Japanese army. However, the Japanese army was not a vegetarian. The Japanese army had never been afraid of the lack of training in the Nanjing government army. This Japanese army is still a rear brigade of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army.

"Da da da..." A dozen or so crooked machine guns of the Japanese army suddenly fired in a fan direction. The pursuing national army was caught off guard, and dozens of people were swept down in an instant. ten people.Only then did the battalion commander of the national army understand that capturing prisoners was not such an easy task.

This cannot be blamed on the aggressiveness or greed of the national army, because they do not know the psychology of the Japanese army.The Japanese have always admired and even revered the strong, as long as you are stronger than him, he will obey you.In the Chinese army, all the experience the Japanese army has gained in the past year is that the National Defense Forces of Fujian and Guangdong are powerful, basically chasing the Japanese army, and the Japanese army has never achieved even annihilation of a battalion in their battles; while the national army, At any time, they were chased and beaten by the Japanese army. The two sides fought, and the Japanese army never lost a brigade-level force.
