A shrill alarm sounded on the streets of Tokyo. Workers who were working put down their work and ran to the air-raid shelter or basement. Housewives at home turned off the fire, turned off the power, and hurriedly left home and hurriedly hurriedly in the air-defense facilities nearby. Volunteers with white armbands on the street nervously greeted the citizens. Firetrucks rang through the street with bells. Each alley had more than a dozen thick water tanks, which were filled with water. There were long water pipes next to the water tank. At this moment, these water pipes were pulled open and connected to the water pipes.

The towering square outside the palace was not affected by air defense performances. The originally neat lawn was now overturned and vegetables and potatoes were planted. Several women were working in the field. Occasionally, they glanced at the palace close to the place. This mysterious and majestic building quickly lowered their heads.

An officer brought eight soldiers to the palace gate. The soldiers of the Guard Division changed their guards again. The palace gate opened and several cars came out from inside. The soldiers saluted neatly.

Cars are rare in Tokyo now. Even managers of large companies are difficult to have cars. Only senior military officials can enjoy the speed and scenery of cars.

Today's imperial meeting was extremely dull. The decisive battle between Pingjin and the widely publicized, it has been completely passive. The front line of the North China Expeditionary Force has been completely penetrated by the "Zhong" team, but the Kanto Army, which Ishihara Kaner has high hopes, is still on the way.

Emperor Hirohito was worried and asked if there was a way to save the war in North China. But whether Koiki Aki or Yan Toshiro, Ishihara Kanir could only bow his head in shame and remain silent. Ishihara Kanirir insisted on withdrawing troops from Jiangnan, withdrawing troops from Mongolia to the Shanhaiguan Region Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Army Department again opposed it, and quarreled in the imperial meeting. Then the navy also joined in. The Ruihe aircraft carrier was severely damaged in the Bohai Bay, and the navy was furious and strongly accused the base of blind command. Ishihara Kanirir retorted that it was precisely because the navy occupied a large amount of resources that the army was weakened, the tanks could not be renewed, and the army planes were still insufficient, resulting in repeated failures in combat.

Seeing the ministers below quarreled and became furious, everyone calmed down. Ishihara Kanir was desperate and proposed to Hirohito to resign on the spot.

"Since I took office, I have no choice but to do anything, but I have no help to the country and the people. I ask to resign from the position of Chief of Staff."

This is unprecedented. In the past, only the Minister of the General resigned from the Emperor to the other ministers of the Ministry of the Ministry of the General resigned from the General Secretary. But today, Ishihara Kanir was sad and resigned directly to Emperor Hirohito. Hirohito's face was gloomy and he stared at Ishihara tightly. After a long time, he sighed: "My dear and the Minister of the General shall give up the discussion. The state affairs are in critical condition. I hope you will work together to overcome the crisis."

Hirohito's tone clearly contained dissatisfaction with Ishihara Kanir, but Ishihara Kanir was really unable to do so. The war situation in China was deteriorating. The United States, Britain and the Soviet Union were all preparing for a counterattack. The decisive battle in North China actually determined the fate of the empire. If this battle fails, the empire will no longer be able to regain the situation.

The car was speeding on the empty Tokyo Street, with neat houses on both sides and clean streets. In previous years, there must have been many beautiful small parasols on the street, but now the women on the street have dishes, and most of the children are malnourished.

"Ishihara, you are too rash today.": Buji Guoao was very dissatisfied with Ishihara Kanir's actions today, which was equivalent to putting him on the fire to roast him.

Ishihara Kanir did not answer, but continued to look at the street scenes on both sides greedily. Koiki Akira felt soft and said, "Ishihara, don't say anything after resigning. As long as the Kanto Army arrives in Hebei, the situation in North China can be restored."

"Prime Minister, I will hand over the resignation report to you when I go back." Ishihara Kan's eyes were still staring out the window: "I want to take all these situations down. In a few months, all of this may not exist."

Koiki Akira smiled bitterly, Ishihara Kanir was reminding him that the Chinese were rushing to build airports in Shandong, and these airports were completed within half a year to eight months. At that time, the Chinese planes could visit Japanese airspace, and Tokyo would become their preferred target.

Ishihara Kan'er's intention to leave was decided. Koiki Akira said repeatedly that Ishihara Kan'er offered a condition to withdraw troops from Jiangnan and negotiate with the Soviet Union and Russia. Even if the Chinese people requested to take back Manchuria, they could agree.

This is a complete withdrawal, giving up all the benefits obtained since the September 18th Incident, and even some of the benefits since the Japanese-Qing War. It can be said that it is a peace at any cost. Koi Iso Kyoshi didn't have to think about it. This proposal could not be approved in the cabinet. Not to mention Manchuria, it would be difficult to withdraw troops from Jiangnan.

The situation in Pektoki continued to deteriorate. After returning to the base camp, Kanir Ishihara handed over his resignation report, but no one tried to keep him. After Koiki Showaki discussed with the military, Koiki Aki stepped forward to try to keep Kanir Ishihara, hoping that he could continue to command and leave his post after the Battle of Pektoki.

"Ishihara, the Battle of Heijin is at a critical moment, and this resignation is irresponsible to the frontline soldiers." Koiki Aki sighed: "We may have to go together at that time."

Koizuki's position was already shaky. Emperor Hirohito was dissatisfied with his inability to save the situation of the war. The army was even more dissatisfied with his weakness. If the Battle of Heijin was won, it could be maintained for a while: if it failed, all conflicts would break out, and Koizuki could only resign.

Ishihara Kaner felt very bitter in his heart. He knew it would be difficult for him to quit. Although the Battle of Heijin was not his strategy, who would like to take the blame now, they would rather Ishihara fail. This alternative in the army was ruined.

Ishihara Kanir finally agreed, but what if he agreed? There is no other way, Ishihara can only pin all his hopes on Okamura Nagaji and Umezu Mijiro. Even if he fails, he hopes to retain more troops.

The signs of failure of the Battle of Pingjin were already very obvious. On the second day of the imperial front meeting, news came from Peking that the "Zhong" ** team surrounded Peiping. The chief of staff of the North China Expeditionary Army Daego Mizhi led the Expeditionary Army headquarters to retreat to Tangshan, but Okamura Yasuji stayed in Peiping unexpectedly. There are now two lonely cities in the Pingjin area, Peking and Tianjin.

In Peiping and Tianjin, the Zhong** team adopted a completely different approach. In Peiping, the Zhong** team only surrounded "there is no sign of attacking; while Tianjin is different". The Zhong** team continued to attack and narrowed the encirclement from all sides.

Further north, the 〖Zhong** team conquered Changping Huairou" The Forty-ninth Army on the Pingzhang line broke out and attacked Yanqing with the 51st Army. Maruyama and Nakajima led their troops to retreat to the east of Hebei. Tanishou met by the river, and the two joined forces to flee to the east of Hebei.

After several days of combat, Berliers cleaned the periphery of Zhuolu. The heavy artillery and tank troops heading north along the highway also arrived in Zhuolu at this time. With heavy artillery, Sun Liren's offensive became even more fierce. The New First Army and New Sixth Army rushed into Zhuolu City from both east and west. After two days of fierce fighting, they wiped out the defenders and the 10,000 divisions.

In the past two days, Ji Muzhen led his troops to attack Wanquan. Ji Muzhen did not have a simple force attack, but instead, a unit of the old division attacked the front. The old division took a detour to Fanghuling and suddenly appeared on the flank of the 35th Army and then launched a strong attack. The 35th Army was caught off guard and was killed by Ji Muzhen. Peng Huai was very anxious and ordered Fu Zuoyi to block the gap. Fu Zuoyi hurriedly transferred the reserve team's temporary 3rd Army to transfer it to block the gap.

Fu Zuoyi was the deputy commander of the Eighth War Zone. The Eighth War Zone was a strange war zone. The Commander of the War Zone Zhu Shaoliang had no real power, and the real power was all in the hands of the deputy commander below. "Hu Zongnan, the Deputy Commander of the War Zone, and Fu Zuoyi, the Deputy Commander of the War Zone. Hu Zongnan's troops were mainly in Shaanxi, and controlled two armies and two other armies under his command: Fu Zuoyi had nominal one thirty-five army in the Hetao area. But in recent years, Fu Zuoyi has expanded his troops to three armies, two ** divisions, and four ** cavalry brigades. This time, Fu Zuoyi advanced eastward and left two ** cavalry brigades to guard the house. The rest of the troops were brought out.

Outside the frontier, interspersed with Zhangbei, Fu Zuoyi gathered the 35th Army, temporarily organized the Third Army, the 11th Cavalry Brigade, and the 12th Cavalry Brigade (the brigade commander was E Yousan, the famous King of Daqingshan); temporarily organized the Gu Si Army to stay in front of pretending to be the 35th Army.

After conquering Wanquan, Peng Huai adjusted his deployment and ordered Fu Zuoyi to block Jimu Zhenichi. Lin B led Xin and the army to seize the Yelanggou and join the encirclement and annihilation of the Yu Division and the Prison Division.

Dong Qiwu led the temporary third army to seize Gufengling in the northeast of Wanquan, with the temporary 11th Division on the front, the temporary 17th Division on the flank, and the temporary 3rd Cavalry Division detoured, and the two sides killed each other on the line of Gufengling. During the fierce battle, Fu Zuoyi ordered Guo Jingyun to lead the division back to Zhangbei and rushed over from Nayangou southeast of Gufengling.

After the attack on the 〖中〗*** increased his troops again, he showed off his killer. Yijiki Taku, the Hoshino corps and the old division, formed the Hoshino detachment, and sneaked across the Yanghe River. The division and prison divisions in the encirclement concentrated their last force and launched an assault. The army was caught off guard and broke a gap by the Japanese army.

Peng Huaide was furious and ordered Lin B to block the gap, ordered the 86th Army to strengthen the attack, and at the same time put the Sixth Army of the Jin Army into battle.

Around this gap, the two sides launched a tenacious and cruel attack battle.

The Japanese soldiers knew that they had no way out and could only fight to the death; the Eighth Route Army soldiers were determined to rush up, seal the gap, and wipe out the Japanese army among the mountains in the north of the border.

Both sides of the enemy and us attacked resolutely and defended tenaciously. The barren hills quickly turned into black soil, and were so bloody that even the wind blowing from the south could not be dispersed.

The loud military horn sounded again, and a large area of ​​gray uniforms under the army climbed up the hill, covering half of the mountainside. The Japanese army did not shoot, and the Japanese army had no more ammunition. On the other side of the hill, the troops were running quickly towards the hill.

The sound of horse hooves broke, and a group of cavalry rushed out of the ravine. The red circle center was a bit broken. In the sun, the sword light shone brightly. The cavalry quickly rushed through the open ground and cut off the attacking crowd in half.

"Order the vanguard not to stop and continue to attack!" Lin B's expression remained unchanged. In the telescope, the Japanese cavalry was imposing, but he had already seen that there were only more than 100 cavalrymen, and they must be the remnants of the Japanese cavalry in the encirclement, and there were only a hundred people. This little force could not shake his offensive.

"Order He B Yan, the cavalry regiment will attack!" Lin B then gave another order.

With his order, a group of cavalry rushed out of the mountain cave and rushed over to the Japanese army. Lin B no longer cared about the battle at the foot of the mountain and focused his attention on the mountain. This mountain had been attacked four times, and the bodies of Eighth Route Army soldiers were scattered from the top of the mountain to the back of the mountain...!~!
