Chapter 316: The End of the Fuso Kwantung Army Minamino Tojiro's Head
When the news of the fall of Jiamu City reached the Kwantung Army Headquarters in Liaodong City, Minamino Tojiro slumped in his office chair with only one thought in his mind: it was all over.
The fall of Jiamu City and the bloody massacre of 30,000 Northeastern civilians completely aroused the anger of the entire Northern Expedition Corps!
The Fuso Kwantung Army also lost its last bargaining chip.
After the loss of Jiamu City, the entire Liaodong City was left with only one major city, Beisai City, to the south. The original 300,000 main forces of the Kwantung Army in Hakushu were reduced to less than 100,000 people by now, and more than 200,000 Fuso soldiers were completely buried in this land of white mountains and black waters.
"Liu Chengxu! I want you to lead the First Army to storm Beisai City! Two days, I will only give you two days. I want the two major divisions in Beisai City to become fertilizer that nourishes this black soil!"
"Yes! Commander!"
“Captain Brand! You lead the Storm Assault Division and go around the eastern coast to cut off Minamino Tojiro’s retreat. Once the situation becomes irreversible, the remaining Kwantung Army will definitely find a way to evacuate to the Liaohai Military Port, Bei’an Military Port and other coastal areas! I will make it impossible for them to escape and keep them on this land forever to atone for the sins of the people who died! For generations to come, they will never be reincarnated!”
"All other main forces of the Northern Expedition Corps, get ready! Encircle Liaodong City! Take off Minamino Tojiro's head!"
"Please rest assured, Commander! I will complete the mission!"
After the meeting, Su Zhengyang personally came to Jiang Yanlin's residence. Since he issued the order to attack the city and witnessed the tragic conditions in the concentration camp, Jiang Dapao, who was nearly 60 years old and usually had a strong voice and a hot temper, began to become taciturn and fell ill, lying in bed all day.
"Uncle Jiang! You don't have to blame yourself. As the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition Army, I have an unshirkable responsibility for this matter! You are the King of the Northeast, the iron-blooded general most loved by the people of the Northeast. You can't give up. I am still waiting to fight my way into Fuso with you and take off their emperor's head to use as a chamber pot!"
Jiang Yanlin was lying on the bed, covering his head with a quilt, his body shaking uncontrollably. For a man who was born and raised in the Northeast, who fought his way up from a bandit to the King of the Northeast, who founded the Northeast Army, who loved this land immensely and treated the people here as his own children, the fact that 30,000 people lost their lives because of his orders was a heavy blow to him psychologically.
On the battlefield, even if more and more Northeast Army soldiers shed their blood, Jiang Yanlin never frowned. The soldier's final destination is the battlefield. In his words, there are loyal bones buried everywhere in the green mountains, so why should we return home wrapped in our horse's hides!
But it's different for ordinary people. Soldiers fight to the death for the people to live and work in peace and happiness. Even though he knows that the fate of those 30,000 ordinary people is already determined, Jiang Yanlin still can't get over it in his heart.
Seeing that Jiang Yanlin still didn't respond to him, Su Zhengyang shook his head and stood up.
"I will fulfill your promise and use Minamino Tojiro's head to commemorate the souls of 30,000 dead people! I hope that by that day, you can really cheer up. The Northeastern Army cannot be without the Northeastern King! Just like the West cannot be without Jerusalem."
After saying this, Su Zhengyang left Jiang Yanlin's room without looking back.
On January 7, the 13th year of the Republic of China, under the fierce offensive of the First Army led by Liu Chengxu, the Beisai City was breached, and the two Class A division troops stationed in the city were completely annihilated, and the prisoners were buried alive on the spot.
On January 11, Liaodong City was captured. Minamino Tojiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, led 20,000 remnants of the army and retreated to the area where Liaohai Port was located in the east, attempting to resist with the help of the Fuso naval fleet.
On the night of January 12, in Donggang Town, 57 kilometers east of Liaodong City, the remnants of the Fuso army were ambushed by the Storm Assault Division. None of the 20,000 remnants managed to escape. Minamino Tojiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army and a Class A war criminal who led the Jiamu City Massacre, was captured alive by Brand and personally delivered to Su Zhengyang. With Su Zhengyang's deliberate release, Ningji Okamura led the guard troops and successfully arrived at Liaohai Port.
At the same time, Asano Atsuyoshi, who had been at the Kwantung Army Headquarters, mysteriously disappeared on the eve of the Northern Expedition Corps' siege of the city and his whereabouts are unknown.
In Xingzhou in the northeast, with the steady advance of the Viking Division and the Zhenxing Division, the 200,000 Kwantung Army stationed in Xingzhou did not gain any advantage. Instead, they were defeated under the relentless pressure of the two ace forces.
On the third day after the Battle of Baizhou ended and the Northern Expedition Corps officially took back the Baizhou territory, the capital of Xingzhou, Dongling City, was captured. The two ace combat troops finally met in Dongling City. In the continuous wars, the two division commanders strictly carried out Su Zhengyang's orders, and the Fuso troops left no one alive wherever they went.
After resting in Xingzhou for three days, the two troops headed north again, heading straight for Mozhou, which fell into the hands of the Kwantung Army after the Soviet Empire withdrew. What was extremely dramatic was that facing the attacks of the Zhenxing Division and the Viking Division, the Mozhou Kwantung Army, with only less than 100,000 troops, fled in an attempt to cross the border and enter the Soviet Empire's Suiye City, but was hit head-on by the Soviet Central Seventh Army and was almost wiped out.
You know, Fuso has now formed an offensive and defensive alliance with the Bird Empire and other countries that started the European war, and it can be regarded as a mortal enemy of the Soviet Union. In addition, there was already deep resentment between the two sides when they were in Mozhou. If the Soviet Union attacks Fuso's Kwantung Army, it will really be a fatal attack.
On January 29, which was the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the eve of the Chinese New Year, the Northern Expedition Army officially announced that it had taken back the three northeastern provinces that had been occupied by Fusang for 27 years! This was an unprecedented feat!
At this time in Jiamu City, the cold wind was howling. The icy north wind was like a sharp blade, blowing people's cheeks painfully. At this time, Su Zhengyang stood solemnly in front of the former site of the Jiamu City Concentration Camp. Now it has become the Jiamu City Memorial Cemetery, where 30,000 massacred Northeastern people are buried. Su Zhengyang took the trouble to send people to collect their names and information, and set up graves and tombstones for them.
Next to Su Zhengyang, Jiang Yanlin, who was wearing a brown military coat, tucked his head into his collar, staring coldly at Minamino Tojiro, who was being guarded by several soldiers and kneeling in front of the monument.
"Minamino Tojiro! I, Su Zhengyang, now declare that you have violated the Qiuhelin Treaty and ordered the mass killing of civilians. The evidence is irrefutable! You are sentenced to death by slow slicing!"
Kneeling in front of the monument, Tojiro Minamino had disheveled hair and his body was covered with scars, and he let out a neurotic laugh.
"In this world, the winners are the kings and the losers are the bandits. The strong will never say sorry to the weak! It is precisely because of the poverty and backwardness of your country, China, that these people were eventually massacred! I refuse to repent for my actions, you can kill me or chop me up as you please!"
"Li Yunlong! Skin him alive! Cut off his head and offer it to the people who were slaughtered. Cut off his flesh and blood and feed it to the dogs! Throw his ashes into the cesspool. I want him to never be reincarnated!"
"Yes! Commander!"
Next, Li Yunlong personally took charge of the operation, and in the presence of tens of thousands of soldiers from the Northern Expedition Corps, the screams of Minamino Tojiro resounded throughout the cemetery. In the end, this Fuso Army General, the once-renowned commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, was completely buried in the land of the Northeast. Even his skeleton was burned to ashes and poured into a cesspool.
