Chapter 2258: Worst Case

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Fengtian City, the headquarters of the Kwantung Army.

    After receiving the last telegram from General Yokohama, Otozo Yamamoto felt that the situation was not good.  He knew that for General Yokohama, this was the only choice, and they could only rely on their own strength to break out of the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army.

    However, it is also very dangerous to rush out on their own strength. I don't know how much loss this army will suffer.

    Thinking of a good encirclement and suppression war, it turned out like this.  Otozo Yamamoto was very annoyed in his heart.

    No matter what the outcome is, after this battle is over, the prestige of the Kwantung Army will be hit hard, and the situation in the entire Northeast region will become worse and worse in the future.

    Thinking of this, Otozo Yamamoto had the urge to vomit blood.

    He has been waiting, waiting for the news that General Yokohama has broken through with the main force.  He wanted news of a successful breakout.  But at the same time, he knew in his heart that this hope was too slim.  If the situation is not satisfactory, it is even possible that the entire main force will be left there.

    Just like that, while waiting, time passed little by little. According to General Yokohama's news, the breakout will begin at noon, so if there is any news, it should be available in the afternoon.

    And now, until the evening, he has not received news of a successful breakout.

    However, Otozo Yamamoto still has some expectations at this time. There is an old Chinese saying that no news is good news. Although there is no good news of a successful breakthrough, there is no bad news after all.

    ?I don¡¯t know if Otozo Yamamoto has read Mr. Lu Xun¡¯s works. At this time, his behavior is exactly like Ah Q in the book, just comforting himself.

    After dark.  Otozo Yamamoto is still looking forward to it.  Just as he was expecting, time passed by little by little, until nine o'clock in the evening, he finally got a piece of news: the troops that had successfully broken through had returned to Binjiang City.

    Binjiang is the closest big city to the battlefield, as long as they can retreat there, it means that the breakout has been successful.

    However, there were only a few dozen troops who arrived in Binjiang City, that is, the size of a small team.  With tens of thousands of troops, if only such a few people come back, it would be too sad.

    "This is just the beginning. As long as there are those who break through, they will go back one after another." Yamamoto Otozo said: "I am very sure that our main force will succeed in breaking through."

    Sure enough, this was really just the beginning. Afterwards, there were constant news reports, some in the nearby gun towers, some in Binjiang City, and even further county towns. People who broke out from the encirclement continued to report their whereabouts.

    More and more people gathered together, gradually changing from a squadron to a squadron and a brigade.  By 12 o'clock in the evening, the total number of people had almost reached the level of an alliance.

    Although the number of people is still very small compared to when the little devil set off, this is a good start after all. If it continues to develop in this way, then it is not impossible for the big army of the little devil to break through.

    The people in the headquarters gradually became optimistic, but unfortunately they didn't have mathematicians, so they couldn't make an accurate mathematical model.  At the beginning, the number of people may increase, but it will reach a peak, and after the peak, the number of people will decrease.

    But Otozo Yamamoto became anxious again. Although more and more people came back, Otozo Yamamoto did not hear the name of General Yokohama among these people.

    Since the founding of the Kwantung Army of the little devil, there has never been a case where the deputy commander died on the battlefield. If General Yokohama fell on the way to break through, it would be troublesome.

    When Yamamoto Otozo thought of this, he couldn't sleep peacefully.  In his headquarters, he has been waiting anxiously.  It was past midnight, and then it was one, two, three in the morning.

    The hands of the clock were ticking.  Otozo Yamamoto has been sitting there waiting, but has never received any news from General Yokohama.

    I don't know how long it took, when Otozo Yamamoto opened his eyes, he found himself lying on the table and fell asleep, and the sky outside was already bright.

    "Is there any news about General Yokohama?" Yamamoto Otozo asked.

    "Report to Your Excellency, Commander, so far there is still no news about General Yokohama. We have counted, so far, there are more than 8,000 troops who have broken out of the encirclement."

    The scale of more than 8,000 people made Yamamoto Otozo quite satisfied, indicating that the army was not completely wiped out.  But there has been no news of General Yokohama, and??Yamamoto Otozo was very worried.

    Where exactly is General Yokohama?

    Just as Yamamoto Otozo was struggling, suddenly, the phone at the headquarters rang again.  When the adjutant picked up the phone, he suddenly became excited: "Please tell me, where is General Yokohama now?"

    When he heard this sentence, Otozo Yamamoto ran over quickly, grabbed the phone and shouted: "I am Commander Yamamoto, quickly, let General Yokohama answer the phone."

    Otozo Yamamoto urgently needs to know the current situation of General Yokohama.  When he heard what he said just now, he thought that General Yokohama had already arrived at a certain blockhouse, county town or Binjiang City, so he hoped to talk to General Yokohama on the phone immediately.

    "Report, Your Excellency Commander, you cannot speak to General Yokohama on the phone."

    "Why? Could it be that he was injured?" Yamamoto Otozo asked.

    "No, he's not injured, he should look fine."

    "Then why didn't you let him answer the phone?"

    "Because he is outside the city now, in the hands of the Eighth Route Army."

    "Nani?" When he heard this, Otozo Yamamoto was suspicious.  The next thing he understood what happened, his complexion changed drastically. He let go of his hand, and the phone clanged and fell on the table.

    Regarding the whereabouts of General Yokohama, Yamamoto Otozo has thought about many situations. He may have died in battle during the breakout, he may have been seriously injured, he is hiding in a certain place, and cannot return, or he may have successfully escaped from the encirclement, but that is  It never occurred to me that General Yokohama might be captured.

    As a proud imperial soldier, how could he be captured sadly?  You can die on the battlefield, but you must not be a prisoner!

    This is bad. If General Yokohama becomes a prisoner, it will be a heavy blow to the prestige of the Kwantung Army.

    This will not only make other armed forces in Northeast Shandong, including the people in Northeast China, look down on the Kwantung Army, but it will also have adverse effects within the Kwantung Army.  Even their deputy commanders can be taken as prisoners, so if ordinary soldiers encounter unfavorable situations, it seems that there is no psychological burden to be taken as prisoners.

    In the future, the situation in the Northeast will be even worse.  Yamamoto Otsumi sat on the chair next to the table dumbly, his eyes were empty.  How could the most powerful Kwantung Army in the empire fall into what it is now?  What exactly is this for?  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
