Chapter 731 Scapegoat
731 Scapegoat
All three airports in Guangzhou were lost.
The combat aircraft they sent out faced two large waves of Kuomintang fighter jet formations that had just flown over Yangcheng.
I'm afraid it's more dangerous than good.
Even if there were some Japanese Zero fighters, they managed to escape.
There was no place for them to land.
It can only crash or make an emergency landing.
In short, after this battle, the Japanese air force in Yangcheng was completely lost.
This means that in the future, air supremacy over Yangcheng will fall into the hands of Ye Qingshan’s aviation team.
And what does losing air superiority mean?
Lengshui Junmu was scared just thinking about it.
"General, let's get out of here and go see Commander Tanaka."
There was a Japanese major officer next to him who said to Lengshui Junmu.
But this guy knelt on the spot, waved his hand at the few surviving Japanese officers and soldiers behind him, and asked them to go back by themselves.
Lengshui Junmu took off his shirt, drew out his samurai sword and put it aside.
The preparations for seppuku began.
That's right, this guy is ready to commit suicide.
The truth is, the defeat in this battle was too devastating.
Later they went to their base camp to investigate.
Even if he doesn't commit suicide now.
Most likely, he will have to bear the blame for the defeat in this battle.
He was still forced to have a caesarean section.
Even if he doesn't take the blame, he can't let the Japanese 23rd Army Commander Tanaka Hisaichi take the blame.
Lengshui Junmu, feeling disheartened, decided to die to atone for his sins.
"General!"
Seeing this, other Japanese officers tried to dissuade them.
But it was of no avail, Lengshui Junmu was determined to die.
In fact, if Ye Qingshan had followed his initial conservative fighting style in this battle, he would not have found an opportunity to wipe out the Japanese Seventh Flying Regiment in one battle.
Unfortunately, under the interference of Tanaka Kyuichi, Lengshui Junmu finally compromised.
This compromise led to a dead end.
In the end, Lengshui Junmu personally performed a very standard Japanese samurai's complete process of committing suicide by disembowelment.
At this time, in the headquarters of the Japanese 23rd Army in Yangcheng, the old Japanese soldier Tanaka Hisaichi also received the news.
Got it. Their three airports outside the city were all bombed and razed to the ground.
Pfft!
The old Japanese soldier Tanaka Hisaichi slumped in his chair with a dull expression. This result was too hard for him to accept.
After a brief moment of unconsciousness, the veins on the old devil's neck popped out and he roared, "Baga.
Damn Chinese, damn Ye Qingshan.
Why, why is this happening.
This shouldn’t be the case, this battle shouldn’t have turned out like this.”
This old devil is going crazy.
"Commander, calm down!"
The Japanese chief of staff next to him sighed and comforted and persuaded Tanaka Hisaichi.
Unfortunately, to no avail.
At this moment, the old Japanese soldier Tanaka Hisaichi was already blinded by anger.
I was so angry that I almost vomited blood.
Tanaka Hisaichi also knew that they had lost those 100 fighter planes, the airport, and the air supremacy over Guangdong Province.
What will happen.
Without air superiority, they lost their greatest support when facing the attacking 89th Army.
The terrifying offensive power demonstrated by Ye Qingshan's 89th Army in eastern Guangdong had already posed a huge threat to Guangzhou.
Now, let Ye Qingshan take control of the air.
With air bombing support.
Ye Qingshan's elite 89th Army will have both heavy artillery and aerial bombardment, double heavy firepower support.
In this case, with only 23 people left in the rd Army, if there is no reinforcement,
There is little hope of defending Guangzhou.
Once Guangzhou is really lost, they will lose Guangdong Province.
By then, their 23rd Army would be finished, and they would all be sinners of the empire.
“Where is Lengshui Junmu, what is he doing?
Why didn’t you defend the airport?”
The old devil Tanaka Hisaichi has already started to prepare to pass the buck.
Even so, he knew in his heart that he actually had the biggest problem in this battle.
But you must never take the blame on yourself.
He is the commander of the 23rd Army, and next he needs to command the entire army to fight against Ye Qingshan.
Nothing can happen to him yet.
Tanaka Hisaichi was an old devil in his heart, and he was making excuses for himself.
Therefore, he needed to find a scapegoat to take the blame for the loss of the main force of the Seventh Flying Regiment in this battle.
Lengshui Junmu is the best scapegoat choice.
The Japanese chief of staff next to him heard that Tanaka Hisaichi was about to pass the buck at this time.
I was so scared that I didn't dare to speak, because I didn't want to bring the fire to myself.
Not long after, a small number of Japanese officers who escaped from the airport also arrived at the headquarters of the Japanese 23rd Army.
"Commander, no more.
There is nothing left!"
The Japanese officers who escaped back were still lingering over the horrific bombing and cried out in sorrow.
"Baga, you have no idea, you idiot.
Why did you come back alive?"
Tanaka Hisaichi kicked these Japanese officers and cursed at them.
"Where's Lengshui Junmu? Why didn't he come back with you?"
Tanaka Kyuichi asked coldly when he didn't see Ryoumizu Shunki.
"Commander, General Lengshui committed suicide!"
A young Japanese soldier answered in a sad voice.
"Nani?"
Tanaka Hisaichi and the Japanese Chief of Staff were also surprised after hearing this.
"Hey!
Why is Leng Shui-jun so depressed? "
The Japanese chief of staff sighed and felt really sorry for Lengshui Junmu.
The other person's talents are actually quite good.
The old Japanese soldier named Tanaka Hisaichi next to him was secretly delighted.
Lengshui Junmu's suicide was good news for him.
In this way, this guy can be a scapegoat with a clear conscience, since the dead can't speak for themselves anyway.
"Commander, urgent message from the Engineer Regiment!"
At this time, a Japanese staff officer rushed in and handed a telegram to the Japanese chief of staff.
After seeing this, the Japanese chief of staff's face changed drastically.
"Commander, the Engineer Regiment reports that they are on their way to Goose City.
Encountered attack by Chinese fighter planes.
Especially, the Chinese bomber group that just attacked them.
It caused huge losses to them.
Their team has been unable to continue their journey to Echeng."
The Japanese chief of staff quickly told Tanaka Hisaichi the contents of the telegram.
"idiot!"
Tanaka Hisaichi's expression at this moment was ferocious, like a vicious tiger ready to eat people at any time.
"Your Excellency, Commander, now continue to send the Engineer Regiment to Echeng to provide tactical guidance to the 108th Regiment.
It has no meaning anymore.
We have lost air superiority, and the Goose City defense line is doomed to be lost.
Now, let the engineering regiment stop marching towards Echeng.
Let them withdraw.”
"Let the Engineer Corps step up efforts to lay mines and build fortifications around Yangcheng.
In the end, we may have to fight the final decisive battle with Ye Qingshan’s 89th Army here in Yangcheng.
We are all more prepared.”
The Japanese chief of staff gave his own suggestions.
After hearing this, the old devil Tanaka Kyuichi nodded slightly with a gloomy face and said, "Let's do it this way.
Go send a telegram to the Engineer Regiment and ask them to come back."
