Chapter 1257 The Growth of Xiangfeng
1257 Xiang Feng received telegrams from various division commanders on the front line, saying that the Japanese suddenly stopped resisting and even fired a white flag. They stopped fighting, so Xiang Feng didn't know what to do.
Xiang Feng did not expect that the Japanese would attack and stop attacking. According to his expectations, the Japanese would definitely resist to the end and wait for their reinforcements to come.
But now they suddenly chose to surrender, and the other staff members looked at Xiang Feng. Now Xiang Feng needs to decide whether to accept the surrender of the Japanese.
The combat orders they issued before were not to be captured, but now the devils are no longer resisting. Although it is okay to kill them, the soldiers could not bear the warriors who directly shot and killed the surrendered Japanese devils, so Xiang Feng had to make a decision.
"Telephone to Brother Bin, ask, what should we do now?" Xiang Feng thought for a while, and decided to ask Hu Bin what he meant. When the staff officer heard it, he went to telegraph Hu Bin.
Soon, Hu Bin's command center received a telegram from Xiang Feng, but Hu Bin was sleeping at this time.
"Brother Bin, Brother Bin, Brother Feng's telegram is coming!" A staff officer went over and shouted in a low voice.
Hu Bin heard this, opened his eyes and looked at the staff officer.
"Brother Bin, Brother Feng's telegram said that the Japanese were not resisting and they were going to surrender. Now he asked you what to do?" The staff officer said to Hu Bin with the telegram. Hu Bin heard it, sat up, took the telegram and looked carefully.
"Surrender? Now?" Hu Bin saw the telegram and thought carefully, and the staff officer was looking at him.
"What kind of telegram do you, Xiang Feng? Now he is the front-line commander. He has the final say whether he accepts it or not!" Hu Bin said to the staff officer.
"Yes, but I think Brother Feng may want you to give me some advice!" The staff officer said to Hu Bin.
"I know, I can't give him advice now. He has to make his own decisions and just go there like this!" Hu Bin said to the staff officer.
When the staff officer heard Hu Bin say this, he nodded immediately and left.
Hu Bin took out a cigarette, lit one, and sat there and began to think about it.
"Brother Bin, is it not good for the Japanese to surrender? Is there any problem?" A staff officer on duty asked, looking at Hu Bin.
"There's a big problem!" Hu Bin stood up and thought in the command center.
"What's the problem with this?" Several other staff officers on duty looked at each other, not understanding what the Japanese stopped fighting, but instead had a big problem. They didn't know what Hu Bin was worried about.
"Nara Takeji is not a surrender. He just wants to kill our troops. He must have received a telegram from Okamura Nishi. If Okamura Nishi is in the base camp, he will send a telegram to Nara Takeji. Nara Takeji may not listen. What I am worried about is that Okamura Nishi may come to America!" Hu Bin said.
"Impossible, he came to inspect it too!" said the other senior staff.
"How is it impossible? They don't take responsibility for this failure. You are so easy to talk to when the emperor is? Moreover, Takeji Nara is from Okamura Nishiji. Logically speaking, he should have been arrested now, but he didn't go back, which means someone has protected him. I guess it's Okamura Nishiji.
So, with the telegram from Okamura Nara Takeji, I guess it is very likely that Okamura Nara Nara was demoted here and we two will become rivals again!" Hu Bin said.
"No, right? Gangmura Yanji is here again?" The senior staff officers heard this and looked at Hu Bin in surprise.
"Is it strange? Only Okamura Yanji was able to issue a non-resistance order in Toronto. This bastard knew that we would not kill their prisoners and that we would not kill his wounded, so he dared to surrender.
The most important thing is that he knew that I would dispatch air forces to bomb the troops he came to reinforce, so in order to reduce the losses, he ordered the troops in Toronto to surrender so that he could minimize the losses.
Moreover, he also knew that we would not occupy Toronto, and we would leave tomorrow dawn, so the wounded would return to their hands. If I did not infer the mistake, tonight, the Japanese troops defending in Detroit would retreat, retreat directly, and leave the passage between Toronto and Detroit!
This was something that Okamura Yasuji could do. This old fox is becoming more and more difficult to deal with!" Hu Bin stood there and said, holding a cigarette in his mouth.
"Brother Bin, then according to what you said, we will be hard to fight next?" a senior staff officer looked at him and asked.
"What's wrong with fighting? It's very easy to fight. This bastard must come to me for negotiation. He is afraid that I will kill all their troops in the Americas. He is waiting. When I return to China, the generals and troops of the United States will not be his opponents. You can wait, he will definitely come to find me!" Hu Bin said after looking at the senior staff officer.
"Will he come to find you?" The other staff officers couldn't believe it even more.
"Yes, Japan has a huge weakness. I know, I think he knows it too. He definitely hopes to stabilize me. When I go back, he can continue to fight with the United States!" Hu Bin nodded and said.
At this time, on Xiang Feng's side, Xiang Feng was stunned for a moment after seeing the telegram from Hu Bin, but he immediately knew what Hu Bin meant. Now he was the commander here. Hu Bin attacked Toronto, in order to train himself, so only Xiang Feng could make this decision.
"Brother Bin doesn't care?" Shi Hao looked at Xiang Feng and said after seeing the telegram.
"Brother Bin wants me to give orders by myself!" Xiang Feng said with a smile.
"You can still laugh?" Shi Hao asked in confusion as he looked at Xiang Feng.
"Why can't I laugh? Brother Bin is for my own good. I'm just thinking about it!" Xiang Feng said after thinking for a while.
"Tell the frontline troops to accept their surrender and separate the Japanese officers from the Southeast Asian soldiers!" Xiang Feng ordered his staff.
"Yes!" The staff immediately telegrammed the troops on the front line.
"You gave the order not to be captured before, but now you have accepted the surrender of the Japanese. What would you think if the soldiers below you asked them to think?" Shi Hao looked at Xiang Feng and asked.
"What do they think? What will they think? They fought for a night, and the troops also suffered considerable casualties. In addition, the Japanese have already fired white flags. If you think of our troops, you will think of massacre?
Except for the Japanese, no country's troops are not disgusted with the massacre of prisoners? We are all soldiers. Do you hope that one day we will be captured and will be massacred?" Xiang Feng asked as he looked at Shi Hao.
"But they are Japanese, they are inhumane!" Shi Hao said to Xiang Feng.
"We have it, we are human. It's not that we should be nice to those Japanese, it's not that we don't want to make ourselves upset, do you understand?
Also, now those Japanese surrender. If we continue to fight, the Japanese will resist fiercely and completely desperately. At that time, our troops will suffer greater casualties. Such casualties are not worth it.
Since they surrender, we will accept their surrender and take away all the prisoners at that time, and those prisoners are in their hands. I think the Japanese will not be too powerful to block them. These Japanese prisoners can still escort us back!" Xiang Feng said with a smile.
"You mean, use these Japanese to threaten the reinforcements behind Japan?" Shi Hao asked at Xiang Feng.
"I don't threaten them. The Japanese must think we are a threat. We just want to take them away!" Xiang Feng said with a smile.
"Okay, you are the commander of the army! However, you seem to be a little different from before, and you can't tell!" Shi Hao said to Xiang Feng.
"Ha, it's different!" Xiang Feng nodded with a smile.
At this time, in the Toronto city, Chinese troops accepted the surrender of the devils. When the sky was just dawn, the statistics also came out.
"Such a big casualty?" Xiang Feng stood up in surprise after seeing the war damage on his side, staring at the data sheet with his eyes tightly. When the other staff members heard it, they all lowered their heads.
"We have artillery and armored troops, and there have been such a large casualties?" Xiang Feng held the table with his hands trembling a little. This was something he had never expected last night. After a battle, more than 67oo people were sacrificed, more than 11oo people were seriously injured, more than 11oo people were slightly injured, and more than 40,000 troops were injured, and more than 40,000 casualties!
"How could this happen?" Xiang Feng put down the form in his hand and wanted to light a cigarette for himself, but he couldn't light it. Shi Hao, who was behind, saw it, took Xiang Feng's match, and then lit it for Xiang Feng.
"The arrangement last night was not a problem, there was no problem at all. We have considered the issues that should be considered. Why did such large casualties still occur? The front-line division commanders are all commanders with very rich command experience, and there is no problem! What happened to Made?" Xiang Feng stood there and spoke, cursing.
"Brother Feng, we don't know about this matter yet, but look at the results of the battle. Last night, the number of Japanese killed was more than 140,000, the number of Japanese surrendered troops captured 180,000, and the number of Japanese wounded soldiers was more than 110,000. The results of this battle were still very great!" The chief of staff behind persuaded Xiang Feng and said.
"Big, what's the point? This is called the result of war? More than 40,000 casualties, more than 40,000! Brother Bin was on the Western Front before, killing hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops, and there would not be such a big casualties!" Xiang Feng shouted directly.
"Brother Feng! Brother Feng! Calm down, calm down!" Shi Hao immediately grabbed Xiang Feng when he saw Xiang Fengbiao.
"Huh, I'm sorry, I'm a little hard to accept!" Xiang Feng heard Shi Hao's reminder, exhaled, and apologized to his chief of staff and said, he also knew that he could not blame others for this. (To be continued.)8
