Chapter 125 7. The Mystery of the "Mopping Up" Plan Abandoned Halfway

In this anti-sweeping campaign, a total of nearly a thousand Japanese soldiers were killed. On the evening of December 8, the Japanese army held a ceremony of "condolence" to the fallen Japanese army in Linyi City.Lieutenant General Dohashi once dressed in a kimono with a white cloth on his head and personally led hundreds of officers to kneel down and worship the spirit.The bodies of the Japanese dead were placed on a pile of firewood, and barrels of acrid gasoline were poured on them.After Tuqiao finished the sacrificial oration, he walked around the field barefoot, and then threw a torch into the pyre. There was a loud "boom", and the blazing fire shot up into the air, and a strong smell of burning flesh quickly permeated.

The cries of the warriors resounded through the sky. At this time, Takeo Ohashi, the staff officer of the 12th Army, hurried to Dohashi Ichi and whispered something to him.Tuqiao was kneeling on the ground crying, suddenly his face changed drastically, he got up and walked towards the car by the woods in the distance, he didn't even bother to put on his shoes, his bare feet stepped on the cold frozen soil, making crackling noises crisp sound. The car carried the general on the earth bridge and rushed towards Linyi Airport like lightning. General Junliu stood next to the plane in military uniform and kept raising his wrist to look at his watch.The car from Tuqiao sped up, and the dust raised behind the car quickly covered the outline of the airport control tower.

Dohashi hurriedly got out of the car, his kimono and the white cloth wrapped around his head made Junliu feel very unhappy. "Are you seeing me off, or at the funeral? Damn it!" Jun Liu cursed secretly. "Your Excellency, why did you bid farewell in such a hurry?" Tuqiao once asked in surprise, "We haven't destroyed the main force of the Yimeng Chinese Communist Army yet!" "The strength of the 11th Army will be used in the new battlefield. The main force of your 12th Army must withdraw from the Yimeng Mountains as soon as possible and wait for deployment." Jun Liu turned around and prepared to board the plane.

"Your Excellency, may I ask why this is? We have spent half a year preparing to wipe out the Yimeng Chinese Army, and have spent a lot of manpower and material resources. How can we give up halfway?" "The bastard Tojo is at war with the Americans!" Shunroku yelled, "The Combined Navy Fleet attacked Pearl Harbor this morning, Yamamoto Isoroku became the new Togo Heihachiro, and the whole of Tokyo is going crazy! From prostitutes to ministers Celebrating the great military exploits of the Navy!" "Your Excellency, we don't have time to consolidate North China, do we?"

"Of course the army is not to be outdone. Tojo ordered me to mobilize troops to attack Nanyang. All my plans have been disrupted by these radicals!" Junliu said angrily, "Who are you wearing this mourning clothes for? For Yimeng Dead in battle? No! You wore it for the entire Imperial Army and the Great Japanese Empire!" Tuqiao was so frightened that he quickly removed the white cloth from his head.Jun Liu boarded the plane laughing loudly, the laughter was not laughing, not crying, it was creepy. The plane rushed up the runway with a huge roar, shooting like an arrow into the dusk sky.The bleeding sun slowly sank into the western mountains, Dohashi stared at the fuselage that was about to melt into the sunset, Junroku's terrifying laughter still echoed in his ears, he couldn't help but think of the funeral bells in the Tokyo shrine.
