**, standing on the towering city tower under the yellow glazed tiles, looking at the short figure on the Xinshui Bridge, even the most modest people felt like they were dominating the world, but Okamura Yasui did not. He stood on the city tower a little bored, Tokunaga accompanied him. Since last night, the two of them were almost inseparable.

The distant sunset wiped away the last ray of light, and the clouds in the sky were dyed red, like blood that was about to dry up. Under the night sky, the yellow covered with the palace walls lost the bright, undulating palace, covered with a layer of mystery.

Faced with this mystery, both Okamura and Tokunaga had mocked him unscrupulously, mocked his hugeness, mocked his luxury, and mocked his ignorance, but now they had an inexplicable emotion in their hearts, a kind of admiration, fear, helplessness, bitterness, and mixed emotions.

The vermilion palace walls and yellow glazed tiles, layer by layer, wrap this palace city and also wrap up hundreds of years of power and history. For hundreds of years, it was this palace city that ruled this huge empire.

, "Our friends in the world are short." Okamura suddenly said something stupid. Tokunaga was a little confused. He looked at Okamura Yasuji carefully. Okamura Yasuji's eyes were blankly looking at the hazy Miyagi.

De Yong didn't know what to say. The battle in Tianjin was going on fiercely. The team of "Zhong" was fierce. Hengshan Yong reported the situation every half hour, so they were very clear about the progress of the battle in Tianjin.

Half an hour ago, Yokoyama Yokogawa paid tribute to the North City defense line, the entire front line had been completely disrupted, the 9th Division and the 110th Division had been divided and surrounded, and the 110th Division commander Lin Fangtaro led the division headquarters to stay at Xinkaihe Station. "The 9th Division commander Harashi led the division headquarters to stay at Shizilin Street.

The 53rd Division of the 59th Army temporarily broke through from the flank of the 110th Division, and then rushed straight to the Haihe River, then turned east, attacking the 16th Mixed Brigade from the side and back, causing chaos in the 16th Mixed Brigade. He joined hands with the 60th Army that attacked the front and divided the Eight Mixed Brigade.

The Second Chinese Army, who entered the east of the city, was cleaning up the remnants of the Eighth Mixed Brigade along the street. The Sixteenth Mixed Brigade had lost its ability to counterattack. The two brigades transferred from the north of the city were intercepted by the Sixty-Eighth Army and could not get close.

Tianjin is broken on all sides. "The Chinese national team also entered the city and occupied the area south of the Fuxing River. It is attacking the Fuxing River defense line. The 69th Division rushed to the front line from the division commander Miura, and the front line fell.

Okamura Yasuji listened carefully to each report, but did not express any opinions, and did not even step into the war room. Okamura Yasuji's attitude made the combat staff anxious. "I don't know what he was thinking. But they didn't dare to go directly to Okamura Yasuji, so they had to ask Tokunaga, but they didn't get anything.

There is no sound of gunfire fighting here, nor can we see the cruelty of bloodshed. The soldiers and military police patrol the city in the village. "Beiping citizens went from their initial movements to their recent panic and uneasiness, regardless of danger.

After being surrounded for more than a month, the food stored by the residents in the city has been almost exhausted. Some citizens have lost their food. They have begun to search for food everywhere, but obviously, they can't find anything. Most of the food in the city has been plundered by the occupying troops, and the remaining small part has been hidden by the owner of the grain store. The grain store is empty.

A few years old officers stood in front of Okamura's car. When they saw Okamura's car coming, they exchanged glances with each other. The leader of the Grand Secretary finally plucked up the courage to come forward.

"Commander, I have a suggestion for the job."

Okamura Yanji nodded slightly at the Grandmaster, signaling him to continue, but his feet did not stop. He walked to the car and opened the door. The Grandmaster hurriedly said, "Weizhi believes that we should break through immediately while the Chinese army is attacking Tianjin."

Tokunaga shook his head slightly. This plan could have been mentioned again. Both Damatsu and Yamauchi's main text had been mentioned, but even they had no confidence.

Before Okamura could speak, a motorcycle drove from Miyagi. As soon as the car stopped, an officer jumped out of the car and ran to Okamura Yasuji a few steps.

"Report, Tianjin, Commander Yokoyama Yuk sent a call" The staff officer took out a telegram and said, "The north of the castle fell, Lin Fangtaro, the commander of the 110th Division, lost contact, the commander of the 8th Mixed Brigade, Orio Mixed Brigade lost contact, the 16th Mixed Brigade was divided and surrounded, and the east and west divisions of the Chinese army approached the Wanguo Bridge."

The staff officer looked up at Okamura Yasuji. Seeing that Okamura Yasuji had no expression, he continued to recite: "The Ministry of Justice has done its best, but the Chinese army is not as good as before, and the artillery fire is extremely fierce, which is unprecedented in the Ministry of Justice. If it were not for the protection of Amaterasu, Tianjin would be lost within 24 hours."

After hearing this, Okamura Yanji just looked at the young officers coldly, and without saying anything, he got into the car. Several officers were stunned and Tokuyaka sighed: "In addition to the three armies surrounding us, the Chinese general also has at least four armies in the Tongzhou area, including the elite expeditionary force. Alas, the Chinese general is the one who wants us to break through the surrounds."

Watching the car leave, the officers were confused. Tokuyen's words showed that Okamura Yanji was very familiar with the situation. There were more than 60,000 people in Tianjin. Yokoyama Yokoyama started attacking in the Chinese people for only fourteen hours before announcing that the defenders would fall in the next twenty-four hours. How long will the more than 40,000 people in Peking have to walk out of this Beiping city? Forty hours? Or fifty small ones

hour?

The car was smoothly towards Zhongnanhai, and Okamura Yanji was speechless along the way. When the car stopped, Tokuyaka pushed open the door, but Okamura Yanji was still sitting in his seat. Tokuyaka couldn't help but remind him, but Okamura Yanji still didn't move. After a while, Okamura Yanji got off.

After returning to the room, Tokunaga was about to leave, but Okamura called him. After wandering for a while, Okamura Yasuji looked up at him: "Tokunaga, is it easy for a samurai to sacrifice his life, or is it easy for a warrior to sacrifice his reputation and endure humiliation?"

"Of course, it's to endure humiliation." Tokunaga did not hesitate at all. He knew that after several days of hesitation, Okamura Yanji finally had to make a decision.

Okamura Yasuji put his hands in the ku bag, his tone was heavy and painful: "The Chinese people said that they had a history of five thousand years, and the recorded history should have a history of more than two thousand years. But our Japanese Empire also had a history of more than two thousand years. In the past two thousand years, the Yamato nation flocked to countless great samurai, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Toku 11 Ieyasu. They all rose from setbacks, founded the country by the black ship, and the Yamato nation signed a humiliating treaty, but we took this opportunity to start the road to the Yamato nation's strength.

, "This war, the failure of the empire is inevitable." The flesh on Okamura's cheek trembled slightly, and Tokuyaka was a little sad. Okamura looked at the palace wall, and after a while, he walked to the table and picked up the teacup and drank the water, then turned to face Tokuyaka: "There is a saying by General Chinar that is right. As long as we preserve our history, the Yamato nation will be revitalized in the future."

, "What does the commander mean?" Although I had guessed Okamura's decision, Tokunaga could not help but be shocked. In the history of the Japanese army, there was no precedent for established troops to surrender. Now Okamura wants to start this and fall first.

, "I decided to negotiate with the Chinese generals to preserve the culture of the Yamato nation and preserve these 40,000 soldiers." Okamura Yasuji was extremely distressed: "Tokunaga, I will invite the general and the general Yamauchi to come later and tell them my decision."

That night, Omatsu Toshizaki and Yamauchi Masahisa rushed to Zhongnanhai respectively. Okamura Yamahiro told them about the battle situation in Tianjin and his decision. To Tokuyō, Toshizaki and Yamauchi Masahiro did not jump up to object, but just sat there blankly without saying a word.

, "Omako, Yamauchi, I know this decision is incompatible with the spirit of the Imperial Samurai." Okamura Yanji looked at the two of them with heavy and calmness: "But this is my decision. I hope you can ensure the stability of the troops. Can you do it?"

The two still didn't answer. After a long time, Omatsu Toshitaya looked up at Okamura Yasuji and asked, "Commander, are there no other way?"

Okamura Yanji shook his head bitterly, Tokunaga interrupted: "These days, the commander has been thinking of ways. The Chinese army has strong military strength. The Chinese army surrounding us have the 31st Army, the 22nd Army, and the 24th Army. In addition, there are four armies in Tongzhou. In addition, there are probably one army to another in the Tangshan area."

Tokuyong's words made the meeting even more silent. Yamauchi sighed heavily. In fact, these situations and Yamauchi knew about them. Both of them had proposed a breakthrough plan, but even they themselves did not believe that they could rush to Shanhaiguan or Tanggu.

, "The Chinese people have built a large number of airports in Shandong and are about to bomb the local area. Tokyo will definitely become the focus of their bombing. Your Majesty's safety will be threatened. If our sacrifice can be exchanged for the royal palace and the preservation of the Yamato nation's thousand-year culture, it is more valuable than rushing out and sacrificing for nothing." Okamura Yanji's mood began to stabilize. He looked at Okamatsu Tuosaki and Yamauchi's main text with majestic force.

The sound of the aircraft engine was boring and regular to the cabin. The cabin remained silent all the time. The huge fleet passed through the mountains on both sides of the Great Wall and flew eastward. Song Yunfei sat at the cabin door, which was open and the wind blew inward.

For this operation, the North China War Zone mobilized more than 90 transport aircraft. For these 90 transport aircraft, Zhuang Jihua almost started working with Chen Cheng again. Finally, Stilwell broke into Wei Demai through his channel. After hearing the details, Wei Demai immediately asked to list the needs of this operation as the highest priority, so that all the materials needed for the operation can be mobilized in the shortest time.

The plane was in a neat formation. Looking out from the hatch door, you could clearly see another C47 not far away. The navigation lights flashed under the belly of the plane.

The air in the cabin is very good. The wind pouring in blows away the smell of engine oil, which gives a fresh ocean smell. Today's weather is very good, with stars in the night sky, like gems dotted on the black curtain.

, "Doudu!Doudu!Doudu!" The red light flashed and issued an alarm. Song Yunfei stood up, turned around and shouted in front of the cabin: "Everyone stood up and checked the equipment!" @.
