Let’s talk about the Japanese side.

At the request of Ogisu Ribuki and Machijiri Ikiki, Yoshio Shinozuka and Eifu Fujie handed over the troops to their respective chiefs of staff, and then passed Hanyang first and came to the Second Army Command.

At this time, Yoshio Shinozuka and Keisuke Fujie were not worried about the safety of the troops.

Although the battle to capture Wuhan has failed and their Second Army has suffered extremely heavy casualties, the Chinese army in Wuhan has been completely destroyed and has no power to launch a counterattack!

What we really need to worry about is the main force of China's Fifth and Ninth War Zones!

Intelligence shows that the main forces of these two major war zones are less than one day away from Wuhan!

Because of this, they must evacuate immediately, otherwise, if they were given a few more hours, Hanyang might have taken it down. Unfortunately, if it is just if after all!

When Yoshio Shinozuka and Eifumi Fujie walked into the command tent in a complicated mood, they saw Ogisu Riki and Machijiri standing in front of Higashiramiya with a serious expression.

When I looked at Higashijiugu, my eyes were distracted and my expression was dull.

He kept muttering: "Bandits, a bunch of bandits, scoundrels, a bunch of scoundrels!"

Yoshio Shinozuka and Keifumi Fujie looked at each other and saw a hint of worry in each other's eyes.

The battle to capture Wuhan was lost. If the commander, Nianyan Hiroshi, who was the commander, had any more good things, then the morale of the entire Second Army would definitely fall to the bottom and his combat effectiveness would be severely weakened. This would definitely have an immeasurable and serious impact on the subsequent battle to survive!

At that moment, Shinozuka Yoshio said, "Machijiri, what's wrong with Your Highness?"

Machijiri Ryoki sighed, "The military doctor said that your highness is suffering from mental stimulation!"

"Symptoms?" Yoshio Shinozuka and Etsutsuka Fujie's faces turned completely dark. Isn't Symptoms a mental illness? Doesn't this mean that His Highness Nianyan was schizophrenia because of his mental stimulation?

After a pause, Shinozuka Yoshio frowned and said, "Can it be cured?"

"Through long-term rest and treatment, there is still a chance to recover." Machijiri Ryoki said this and said, "But it is impossible to heal in a short time, and..."

Yoshio Shinozuka said in a deep voice: "And what?"

Machijiri Ryoki sighed: "And you can't be stimulated any more! Once you are stimulated by the outside world, your highness's illness will have no hope of curing it!"

Yoshio Shinozuka was shocked when he heard this.

At that moment, Machijiri Oki waved his hand again and signaled that Igarashi Mi to support Hiromiya Naihiko.

When Higashinomiya Naihiko was helped out, Machijiri Iki said to Yoshio Shinozuka again: "Shinozuka, the Front Command ordered that you will be the second army for the time being before reinforcements arrive!"

Ogisu Ribuki and Fujie Etsuki's eyes flashed, but they had no objection to it.

Because in terms of qualifications and ability, Yoshio Shinozuka is better than the two of them!

Yoshio Shinozuka was not pretentious and asked immediately: "Have all the retreats been arranged?"

"All have been arranged!" Machijiri Ieki said, "The 13th and 116th Divisions are the first echelons, the 10th and 116th Divisions are the second echelons, and the four cavalry corpses are responsible for the leading, defending and protecting the two wings respectively! Given that the main forces of the two major war zones in China have not yet reached the end, safety is still guaranteed!"

"The key is the retreat speed!" Shinozuka Yoshio said, "Due to the presence of a large number of wounded and heavy equipment, this will inevitably have a serious impact on the speed of the march. Machijiri, how did you arrange this?"

Machijiri Ryoki sighed softly and said sadly: "Shinozuka, there is no arrangement in this regard."

"Nani? No arrangements?" Shinozuka Yoshio said sternly, "Machijiri, what do you mean?"

"This is not the meaning of humbleness." Machijiri Ryoki shook his head and said, "This is the meaning of the Front Army Command. All wounded people who have lost their rescue value will give up. All heavy equipment that may drag down the speed of the marching will be blown up! The Second Army must retreat to Xiaogan before dark and wait for reinforcements!"

"Sodesna!" Yoshino Shinozuka nodded slightly.

After a long time, Yoshio Shinozuka continued, "Machijiri, accompany me to see the wounded."

"Hayi!" Machijiri Oki paused his head suddenly, and then said with a stern hand, "Commander, please come here!"

When Shinozuka Yoshio came to the field hospital accompanied by Machijiri Ieki, he found that the hospital's medical soldiers were carrying people out, and the open space outside the hospital was filled with abandoned wounded people.

Most of these abandoned wounded were too seriously injured and were on the verge of dying.

But there are also a considerable number of people who have only been amputated on both legs or one leg. Because such wounded people cannot return to the team to participate in the battle after recovering from injury, they are directly judged by Machijiri Yoshiki to give up.

Of course, Oshiki Machijiri Oshiki would definitely not say that.

Machijiri Ryoki and these wounded soldiers with certain combat effectiveness said that the main force of the Second Army was in a bad situation and needed to retreat immediately in the direction of Xiaogan, but they still needed to stay behind and cut off the rear. These wounded soldiers were all soldiers of the lower class who were brainwashed by ****'s thoughts. When they heard this, they immediately expressed their enthusiasm to stay!

At this moment, seeing Yoshio Shinozuka and Machijiriki coming over, the injured who were still able to move sat up from their respective stretchers and raised their hands to salute them.

"Your Excellency General, you can evacuate quickly!"

"I'll leave it to us here. With us here, the Chinese army cannot pass by here!"

"You can retreat with confidence. We will definitely fight for the empire and His Majesty the Emperor until the last moment!"

"The Great Japanese Empire is on board!"

"The Great Japanese Imperial Army on board!"

"His Majesty the Emperor" is on-load!"

Shinozuka Yoshio and Machijiri Oki quickly returned the gift.

Looking at the wounded man sitting on the stretcher and shouting slogans frantically, Yoshio Shinozuka felt sorry for him.

Unlike other old Japanese, Yoshio Shinozuka actually cherishes the lives of his officers and soldiers.

Because Yoshio Shinozuka has more vision than other Japanese generals and understands that human resources are the foundation of a country and a nation. If a country and a nation’s middle-aged men are consumed in large quantities, the consequences will definitely be disastrous!

However, now, Yoshio Shinozuka could only make up his mind and abandon these wounded people in the way of gecko's tail!

Because they refused to abandon these wounded people, the remaining 80,000 to 90,000 people in the entire Second Army were about to be destroyed. This was the real disaster for the Japanese army!

At that moment, Shinozuka Yoshio nodded slightly to Machijiri.

Machijiri Ryoki turned his head and waved his hand, and soldiers stepped forward and distributed grenades to the wounded.

Each of the seriously injured people who are dying, and each of them has a certain combat effectiveness is given a southern pistol!

Finally, Yoshio Shinozuka paused and said, "Please, please!"
Chapter completed!
