The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

The Japanese soldier named Yuta Watanabe was shaking all over and was sure that the mission was impossible to accomplish.

And not only that... the "price" paid for this battle is so great that even Muto Nobuyoshi may not be able to afford it!

The number of soldiers lost by the two major divisions has not been reported yet, not to mention the consumption of ammunition - the loss of fighter planes alone is something that even their superiors and even the Japanese emperor cannot accept!
Thinking of this, Watanabe Yuta's body began to tremble. He couldn't help but pull out the pistol and slowly pointed it at his temple.

"Watanabe-kun, what are you going to do? Are you going to commit suicide at this moment when the outcome is still unclear?!"

Before he could pull the trigger, Shirakawa Eitoshi suddenly raised his hand and held him down, "You must not die! If you die, your future career will be completely lost--"

Watanabe Yuta looked sad and desperate, and said painfully: "Shirakawa-kun! You have actually seen the battle report from the front. Every time the Imperial Army advances, it has to overcome many difficult defenses... At this time, under the attack of the Northeast Army by sea, land and air, I am afraid that our army, those warriors who crossed the shore, are all..."

"This, what future and career can we talk about?"

As he said this, he raised his gun again with a sad look in his eyes, but was shot down by Shirakawa Eiji again.

"I still say the same thing. If you commit suicide now, everything will be gone."

Shirakawa Eitoshi continued calmly, "I was stationed in Jilin and had many dealings with Jiang Cheng—"

Earlier, before the Siping section of the railway was transferred to Jilin, Shirakawa Hidetomo stationed troops near the capital Jilin.

Later, the troops moved out of Jilin and they were stationed in North Korea... In other words, he had a certain understanding of Jiang Cheng.

"Yeah, I suddenly remembered that you...seemed to be with him,"

At this point, Watanabe Yuta swallowed hard, "Shirakawa-kun, look at the way the battle has turned out, what should we do?"

This was the first time that he, the commander-in-chief on the front line, had so humbly "asked for advice" from the other party. Before that, the division commander had always treated Shirakawa Hidetoshi, the "outsider", with disdain, and had always thought that Shirakawa Hidetoshi was no match for a Chinese boy. Not only was he driven out of the territory, but he also ended up being demoted in the military.

At this moment, Shirakawa Eitoshi smiled calmly and said, "For now, the only option you have is negotiation—"

"Yes, that's right. Just define the area and negotiate with him."

When Watanabe Yuta heard his words, he couldn't help but gasp and wanted to curse: You bastard, how can you come up with such a terrible idea at this time?
How can the Empire negotiate with such an inferior race? They should all be wiped out by the Imperial Army!

"Shirakawa-kun, you..."

Unexpectedly, the other party interrupted him abruptly: "Watanabe-kun, do you have any other solution besides negotiation?"

"The imperial army on the other side of the river is obviously under your so-called sea, land and air attack, and most of them will not be able to return - if there is no peace talk, Jiang Cheng will most likely advance towards North Korea with the support of naval guns!"

"Don't even mention how many imperial troops can be saved by then. You and I will most likely die here."

Shirakawa Eitoshi's voice was not necessarily very high, but almost every word was like a solid iron hammer, hitting Watanabe Yuta's heart heavily.

Yes, apart from anything else, the Northeast Navy that came here is so ferocious. Once hundreds of thousands of Northeast Army troops are released into North Korea, they will be driven all the way to Incheon to go to the sea!
If we negotiate, at least we can save the imperial army, even if...
But he thought of his own navy again, and he felt a wave of confusion in his heart:

The Japanese navy and army have always been at odds. When they marched into Siberia, many soldiers were so scared that they wrote suicide notes when they heard that the navy would assist them in the attack at sea. Now?

If they wanted to withdraw to their homeland or seek assistance from the navy, it would be impossible!

"I think you misunderstood me, Watanabe-kun."

While Watanabe Yuta was thinking with his eyes rolling rapidly, Shirakawa Eitoshi smiled coldly and said, "I just asked you to conserve your strength, and the most important thing is that we should delay time, and then... just like Shang Yumingcheng before, change the front line to attack!"

you mean?

Watanabe Yuta looked back at the cruel smile on this guy's face and shuddered quickly: "Could it be..."

That’s right, Shang Yumingcheng’s attack on Siping was fruitless, and then he withdrew from the front line in Jilin on his own initiative.

Although the main force of the Imperial Army in Fengtian Province was surrounded by the Northeast Army from Siping, Xinmin, Jinzhou and other directions, it was in danger of being driven into the sea from Yingkou.

But Shang Yuming City withdrew and turned to attack Shanhaiguan, and not only did they win the battle after battle and break through Luanzhou, but now they have also gained a lot of advantages in the capital area with a smaller force -

Even though he disobeyed orders and escaped at first, he opened up a new battlefield and won many victories in battles one after another. When it was difficult to make a breakthrough in the Northeast war, he was named the number one hero by the military and even asked for credit from His Majesty the Emperor!

"I...see what you mean."

Watanabe Yuta finally nodded woodenly, "You want to use the peace talks to delay Jiang Cheng's attack on us, and then you and I will go to other places in China like we did in Shangyu Mingcheng to open up new battlefields, right?"

At this moment, a cold and cunning smile bloomed on Shirakawa Hidetoshi's face.

Watanabe, you are so childish!
Think about it, you have caused the empire to suffer such losses now. Even if a new battlefield is opened up, can Commander Muto let you go?
Haha, I'm sorry, I just want to use you to preserve my strength. I don't want to drag all the warriors I have into this irreversible decline.

In the future, it will be you who will be liquidated by Commander Muto, and the hero who will open up a new battlefield will undoubtedly be me, Shirakawa.

"The Japs don't want to fight, so why do we want to negotiate?"

Zhang Xuecheng yelled, "Screw the peace talks! That's what you're saying now that you can't win the fight!"

"What? Did the brothers who sacrificed their lives these days die in vain? Our costs are so great... I will negotiate with them later!"

Jiang Cheng rested his hands on the sand table, raised his eyelids and glanced at him without rushing to express his opinion, while Zhang Tingshu on the side curled his lips and said, "I say, it seems that it is our navy that has made great contributions this time, right?"

"Look, before I came, you were basically completely suppressed by the Japanese's heavy firepower - now whether to talk or not, shouldn't it be my decision?"

After saying that, he stopped smiling and glared at Jiang Cheng, "I'm telling you, if you dare to negotiate, I will mutiny!" (End of this chapter)
