    Perhaps Kojima Nobu's mouth was too vicious. Less than three days after he made a very ominous prediction about Major General Kitano's life, Major General Kitano Kenzo was hit in the back of the head by shrapnel from a howitzer fired into the city by the Northeastern Army.  At this time, the Kitano detachment had less than one brigade left, hiding among the ruins of Gongju to survive.  When the Japanese military promoted the "heroic" Major General Kitano to lieutenant general to boost morale, Lieutenant General Jianchuan realized that the Kitano detachment no longer had the ability to continue to hold on and had to invest its troops into this dilapidated city to continue to maintain it.  The Jinjiang defense line was stable, and the 8th Regiment, which had "fought bloody battles for many days" with no results, was naturally transferred into Gongju City, where only a little more than half was still in the hands of the Japanese army, as Kojima Nobu predicted.  Being sent directly to the front line and under the strict supervision of senior officers of the division, the 8th Regiment and other troops of the Fourth Division had to bite the bullet and fight the attacking First Army of the Northeastern Army.

    On August 8, there was heavy rain in central North Korea.  Late at night, at the Pyeongju Defense Line in the west of Gongju City, the officers and soldiers of the Hashimoto Battalion of the 8th Regiment were falling asleep to the lullaby playing on the tents of the military camp as the raindrops pounded violently.  A burst of close footsteps reached the sentry's ears through the rain curtain, and he immediately sharpened his loaded rifle and pointed it at the dangerous road hidden in the dark front: "Who is that person!"

    "We are the Nakagawa Squadron of the Tiaoshan Regiment. If you have urgent military matters, please contact Captain Hashimoto!"

    The other party reported that he was from the 70th Regiment of the Fourth Division, and his proficient Japanese with an Osaka accent immediately made several sentries lower their guard.  Just when the sentry was about to ask for the password, several silent submachine guns rang out dullly. Suddenly, the sentries of the 1st Brigade and the machine gunners on several machine gun positions at the entrance of the barracks were all shot and fell to the ground without a groan. It was pouring rain.  The blood they shed was immediately diluted, and the sound of rain also covered up the already weak sound of the silent submachine gun.

    "Hurry up!" Mao Zhonghua, who took the lead, waved his hand, and dozens of capable members of Special Forces Zero filed in, followed by rows of Northeastern Army soldiers with guns and live ammunition. Suddenly, there were dull sounds of fighting in the rainy night.

    "Kill!" After deceiving Mao Zhonghua and his group of "Japanese traitors" all the way, they finally successfully reached the belly of the camp of the Japanese Hashimoto Brigade and removed several machine gun emplacements blocked in fatal positions. The commander of the Northeast Army could not hold back.  When he jumped up and shouted the order to attack, "Click, click, click" the AK-35 assault rifle in his hand suddenly sprayed tongues of fire at the sleepy-eyed Japanese soldiers who didn't know what was going on. A row of people behind him  The officers and soldiers in the platoon, whose faces could not be seen clearly because of their ponchos, immediately lifted up their raincoats, took out their weapons, showed fierce faces, and started shooting violently.

    Suddenly there was an explosion in the Hashimoto Brigade camp. The Northeastern Army that got in was shooting and killing everyone in sight, which immediately upset the Japanese army.  The close combat on a rainy night was particularly chaotic, with extremely low visibility. The officers and soldiers were shouting all kinds of curse words while killing, on the one hand to boost morale and increase courage; on the other hand, this was discussed in advance.  Anyone who hears the other party speaking Chinese is one of his own. If he speaks Japanese that Jili Gulu cannot understand, he will directly greet him with bullets and bayonets.  Those selected for the night attack were all elite soldiers from the 1st Army of the Northeastern Army. They were all extremely brave and fought fiercely. No matter how heavy the casualties were, they were still fearlessly rushing back and forth among the Japanese soldiers. The direct killing rain poured down on the concrete floor with Japanese soldiers.  corpse.  Mao Zhonghua and others were even more cunning. During the charge, they saw Japanese soldiers shouting "One of our own! Don't shoot!" in Japanese, and then immediately opened fire while the opponent was stunned, killing the opponent.

    Under the pressure of this majestic momentum, coupled with the fact that the captain of the battalion, Hashimoto Kazuto, was blown beyond recognition by a grenade thrown by an anti-aircraft gun during the melee, a small number of officers and soldiers in Hashimoto's battalion finally suffered a mental breakdown, and their morale was completely exhausted.  .  In this kind of night battle, which is completely based on will and momentum, the most terrifying thing is that there are deserters on one's own side. Generally speaking, when encountering such a situation, officers will mercilessly execute the soldiers who are afraid of fighting and fleeing on the spot to suppress the morale of the army.  .  However, at this time, the top commander of the Japanese army had been killed, and not only a handful of soldiers but nearly a squadron had escaped. This was a situation that the Japanese army was unable to withstand both in terms of morale and substance.

    "Brothers, kill! The Japanese have escaped!" At the critical moment of the battle, upon hearing this exciting news, the soldiers of the Northeastern Army's commando team suddenly rejoiced and their combat effectiveness surged.

    The fact that more than a thousand officers and soldiers of the Hashimoto Battalion, which is part of the "First Wasteful Division of the Imperial Army", can fight bloody battles with fierce opponents for several hours on such a rainy night is already a testament to the character of the commander of the Jianchuan Division. At such a critical moment  I actually heard that some of my brothers were unloyal and left me alone to run away, so that's okay!  Suddenly, the officers and soldiers of Hashimoto's brigade, who were engaged in a fierce battle, ran towards Gongju in a chaotic manner with oil on their soles.

    The officers and soldiers of the Northeastern Army's commando team who attacked at night did not pursue it. Their mission was to seize this position.The 8th Regiment Wing Headquarters - a dilapidated cave hidden under the rubble.  More than 30 leaders, including Colonel Tamura Xinzhi, commander of the 8th Regiment, and the surviving captains, squadron commanders, etc. gathered here, quietly listening to the conditions brought back by Deputy Commander Kojima.

    After a long while, the commander of the regiment, Tamura Xinzhi, asked tiredly: "Are there really Japanese in the Northeast Army serving them?"

    "Yes, they were also responsible for the loss of the Pingku position. In order not to do hard labor after the surrender, we can also choose this path."

    "Your Excellency, Captain!" The captain of the 2nd Battalion, Sakai Yongkui, burst into tears. "We can only surrender, but we can never join the Northeastern Army! Then we will really be treason and betrayal of the Yamato nation!" As soon as these words came out,  It was immediately supported by nearly half of the officers.

    "Sakai-kun, do you think that our act of surrender is not an act of treason and betrayal of the Yamato nation in the eyes of the Japanese military? If you want to continue to maintain the part of you that the country does not recognize after surrender,  If you have integrity, then go do hard labor!" Even if Tamura, who had a fierce face, got angry, he could still shock the restless elements below who were ready to make a move. After all, he had called this unit his home for more than two years.

    "Your Excellency, Captain, do you really want to surrender?" Sakai had an angry look on his face.

    Tamura looked at him calmly: "The 8th Regiment is now desperate. If we don't surrender, we will die meaninglessly. If you want to live well after surrendering, join me in the Northeast Army. Northeast.  The army has promised to announce to the public that all the main officers of the 8th Regiment have been killed, and our families will not be implicated. There is no chance of winning the war between Japan and China. I believe that we will return to our hometown alive within ten years."

    Iwasaki, the captain of the 1st Squadron of the 2nd Battalion, said coldly to Sakai, who was one rank higher than him: "My subordinates and I are basically apprentices adopted from various companies in Osaka since childhood. We were originally orphans and joined the army.  We were also forced. Japan has given us nothing, and there is no need for us to sacrifice our lives to serve Japan. We only live for ourselves."

    "Baga! You are all traitors! Traitors of the Yamato nation!" Sakai, who was almost crazy, shouted at the top of his lungs at his superiors and subordinates.

    "Baga Ya Road! Since you want to be loyal to the emperor, then go! The artillery and tanks of the Northeast Army outside will satisfy you! Whoever wants to go can go together!" Tamura also said angrily.

    There was a dead silence in the command room for a minute. Sakai bowed to Tamura calmly: "Your Excellency, commander, thank you for your care over the years. Please take care of yourself! Farewell!" After that, he rushed out and rushed towards  The Northeastern Army's position was followed by seven or eight low-level officers. Their loyalty to the nation was still firmly in their hearts.  The remaining nearly twenty officers lowered their heads one by one. They still wanted to continue living, let alone live well.

    Tamura looked at everyone and said in an unusually calm and low tone: "If any of your subordinates are unwilling to surrender, then go with Sakai! Kojima-kun, please do some more legwork and tell the commander of the Northeastern Army,  The 8th Regiment surrendered! But please let them give us some time to use up all the bullets and artillery shells for the last "symbolic resistance." The 8th Regiment surrendered when the senior officers were dead and wounded and the ammunition was exhausted."

    Kojima¡¯s expression was gloomy, but his eyes showed a morbid hope of living: ¡°Yes! Your Excellency, the captain!¡±

    Amidst the gunfire of the 8th Regiment of the Japanese 4th Division's last cover-up of "last resistance", the messengers on the Northeastern Army positions rode wildly on horseback while unable to restrain their excitement and shouted: "  The Japanese surrendered! The 8th Regiment surrendered!" This joyful voice echoed in every position in Gongju. Every Northeastern Army soldier on the battlefield jumped out of the trenches and jumped to high places to cheer, and the cheers resounded through the sky.

    After making symbolic resistance, the 8th Regiment of the 4th Division of the Japanese Army became the first unit in modern Japan to surrender as a regiment. After this news electrified the world, the international uproar had a great and widespread impact.

    The surrender of the 8th Regiment also caused the entire Gongju defense line to fall into the hands of the Northeastern Army. The tanks of the Northeastern Army's 101st Armored Division soon rumbled into the back of Cheongju, the headquarters of Japan's Korean Expeditionary Force.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
