    However, what the Japanese army did not expect was that Lu Dashan's troops did not reinforce Jinzhou. Instead, they went directly north from Kalaqin to fight the 148th Division heading south, and directed their troops towards Jianping and Chaoyang.

    This move greatly surprised the Kwantung Army headquarters. The actions of the national army made them realize that Li Guoyao's army was obviously seeking not just Jinzhou, but the entire South Manchuria, including the important town of Fengtian.

    The national army on the western front went north to attack Jianping and Chaoyang, ostensibly to intercept the 148th Division. However, Yamada Otsu and others were not stupid. They knew very well that an infantry division with only more than 10,000 people was not worth dispatching by Li Guoyao's troops.  With tens of thousands of elites, the opponent's target must be Fengtian City.

    At that moment, Yamada Otsuzo immediately ordered the 148th Division to give up going south and instead withdraw to Chaoyang. At the same time, the defenders in Jianping, Lingyuan, Hiraizumi and other places west of Chaoyang immediately abandoned their current positions and withdrew to Chaoyang.

    Xinjing. Kwantung Army Headquarters.

    After receiving the telegram from the front line, Yamada Otosan was extremely shocked and immediately ordered someone to connect the phone to the garrison headquarters in Fengtian City.

    The moment the call was connected, Yamada Otsuzo heard a harsh rumbling sound, and at the same time there was an alarm sound.

    "Moxi Moxi!"

    "Your Excellency, Commander, I am Qin Yansanlang!"

    "Qin Yanjun, what happened in Fengtian City? Why are there explosions and sirens!" Yamada Otsuzo asked immediately.

    "Your Excellency, Commander, Fengtian City was bombed by the US aviation force just now. Two aerial bombs fell near the headquarters, and the guards are dealing with them!" Lieutenant General Qin Yanzaburo replied.

    ¡°The U.S. Air Force is a big bastard, this is the sixth time they have bombed Manchuria this month!¡±

    "Not just six times, but eight times. Yesterday afternoon, the US Air Force attacked Anshan and Fengtian successively!"

    "Bagaya road!"

    After roaring, Yamada Otsuzo remembered the business and immediately asked: "The Japanese are marching towards Chaoyang. Their main force has reached 50,000 or 60,000 people. The headquarters concluded that their main strategic target should be Fengtian. Don't step up your guard."  ah!"

    "Hai"

    Before he finished speaking, he heard the door of the office being pushed open, and then he saw a major officer running in hurriedly and said to Lieutenant General Qin Yansanlang: "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, there is an urgent call from the airport!"

    Although Lieutenant General Qin Yansanlang was a little disgusted with the rashness of this major officer, he also knew that something must have happened, otherwise no one would be so unruly.

    He didn¡¯t bother to say hello to Yamada Otsuzo on the phone, and said directly: ¡°Nani, what happened?¡±

    "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, there is a call from the airport. Ten minutes ago they were suddenly attacked by Japanese troops. The defenders were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses. In addition, half of the 35 fighter planes parked at the airport were destroyed, and the remaining  Emergency liftoff in progress"

    "Baga, how come there are Japanese troops outside Fengtian? How many troops are there?" Lieutenant General Qin Yansanlang said hurriedly.

    "The opponent's troops are not large, but their combat effectiveness is very strong. There are only less than 200 people, but they defeated the 500 to 600 troops stationed at the airport!"

    "idiot!"

    At this time, the voice of General Yamada Otsuzo came over the phone: "Qin Yanjun, immediately order the troops in the city to reduce their strength. What you encountered may be Japanese special forces."

    "Special Forces?"

    "Youxi, according to the information we have received, Li Guoyao has a special force with powerful combat capabilities, which is specially used to carry out various uncertain combat missions and is very destructive."

    Then Yamada Otsuzo said in a deep voice: "There are various signs that the Japanese are preparing to seize Fengtian. Your troops must be more alert!"

    "Your Excellency, the total number of defenders in Fengtian City is less than 3,000. Once the Japanese break through the Chaoyang Defense Line, the consequences will be disastrous!"

    "Youxi, I will order the 125th Division in Xinjing City to go south to reinforce your department. I will also order the troops in the direction of Jinzhou to speed up. If the crisis in Jinzhou City cannot be resolved, the Imperial Japanese Army will have to consider all aspects of  Give up the plan of Nanman!" Yamada Otsuzo said.

    "Hai!"

    ?¡­

    After hanging up the phone, Yamada Otozo slumped on the chair, looking a little depressed.

    He is not only worried about the current war situation, but also worried about the future of the entire empire.

    Two days ago, he received a letter from his brother-in-law from Tokyo. The content of the letter made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

    ?Yamada Otsuzo¡¯s brother-in-law is not a soldier or a politician, but a businessman. His family used to have a big business in Europe, so the brother-in-law also lives there.

    But last month, the situation in Europe got out of control, so my brother-in-law and his family returned to Japan and told Yamada some of his experiences in Europe, mainly the German capital.

    The original text in the brother-in-law's letter read: "Berliners are living under food shortages and heavy life pressure. Even the important Christmas has nothing to celebrate. Many places in the capital of the Third Reich have been transformed by bombing.  In the rubble pile, the black humor of Berliners has also become full of resentment. On such days when there is no festive atmosphere, what people often say is "Be realistic, let's buy a coffin""

    "The street-facing wall of the house has collapsed, and photos hanging on the walls of former living rooms or bedrooms are still visible - the actress Hildegarde Knife looking at a piano protruding from the crumbling floor. No one  Touching it, she wondered how long it would be before it fell into the rubble below. A few words were scrawled on the wall of the destroyed house, telling her son who had returned from the front that the family was okay and had been transferred to  Somewhere else"

    "There were also unsubstantiated stories of young women making peace with strange men they had never met in the dark corners of zoos, stations and bomb shelters. As the Red Army drew closer to Berlin, more women were desperate  The earth will forsake its chastity.¡±

    "In the air-raid shelter that exudes blue light, you can already feel the leisurely and terrifying atmosphere of hell. People are huddled together in their warmest clothes, and their small boxes contain sandwiches and hot water bottles. In theory, all basic needs of life  Everything was catered for in the air-raid shelters. There were sanitary facilities and there was a nurse where the women could help.¡±

    "Pregnant women's labor also seemed to be faster due to the vibrations caused by bomb explosions, which were felt as if they came from the center of the earth. The roof of the bomb shelter was painted with luminous paint to cope with the frequent power outages.  The lights would first dim and then flicker out. The water supply was stopped because the main pipes were bombed, and an unpleasant smell emitted from the toilets. This was a great pain for a country that had been very clean before. The government often  Seals would be put on toilets because many depressed people locked themselves in there and committed suicide"

    The tragic scene in Berlin reminded Yamada Otsuzo of his mission to Germany two years ago. In fact, the atmosphere in Germany had already changed as early as two years ago.

    Rumors were already flying before Christmas 1942 that General Paulus' Sixth Army had been besieged by the Red Army on the Volga River. The Nazi regime was unable to admit that the largest corps of the Wehrmacht was doomed to the ruins and ice of Stalingrad.  The fact that the Russian steppes were annihilated.

    To prepare the country for bad news, Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels declared this Christmas a "German Christmas."  In Nazism this meant maintaining frugal habits and firm will, no more candlelight, pine wreaths, and singing.

    By 1944, the traditional Christmas roast goose had become a distant memory.

    In fact, the situation in Germany at this time was far worse than outsiders imagined. Air raids were very frequent. They were British at night and Americans during the day. The cycle continued. Berliners felt that they spent more time in cellars and air-raid shelters than in their own beds.  The time will be longer.

    Lack of sleep makes people more hysterical and more convinced of fate.

    "There are fewer and fewer people worried about being reported by the Gestapo for promoting defeatism, because everyone is saying the same thing.  People in the air-raid shelters were saying, "Learn some Russian!" Most Berliners no longer greeted people with "Hi, Hitler."

    From such black humor, we can see the absurdity of people, and sometimes this is also a manifestation of surrealism.

    Berlin¡¯s largest air defense facility was built in the Zoo, a huge steel and concrete fortress built during the totalitarian period.  There is an anti-aircraft gun as a barrier above it, and a spacious bunker on the lower floor. Whenever the air defense siren sounds, a large number of Berliners will crowd here.

    There is a sense of destruction everywhere in Germany, and people's lives will perish along with this country.  People are desperate to spend their money because soon it may become worthless.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
