After the expeditionary force occupied the commanding heights of Tapoqiao Peak, the attack speed accelerated. The New 6th Division, the New 7th Division, the 1st Marine Brigade, and the National Salvation Army of nearly 100,000 troops carried out a dragnet-style clearing on Saipan Island;
The tactic adopted was to first send the tank regiment to break through the center, only breaking through about 5 kilometers at a time, and then the infantry regiment cut to the two wings. After cutting off a piece, the National Salvation Army was sent to clean up, and the Chinese Expeditionary Force was responsible for blocking the periphery.
The National Salvation Army had tens of thousands of troops to wipe out the Japanese who were compressed within a few dozen square kilometers. They had quite sufficient troops. They used divisions and regiments as units to dig out rat holes in different areas;
The Japs hiding in the tunnels had no room to move at all, so they could only be beaten passively, and were burned to death in the tunnels one by one with flamethrowers.
The Japanese couldn't hold it any longer and rushed out to break out. As a result, they ran into the machine gun array of the expeditionary force without any suspense, and were beaten into a hornet's nest one by one.
The expeditionary force was very patient in the dragnet-style clearing of Saipan. Lieutenant General Sekigahara did this job very happily, just like Tom playing Jerry, not giving the Japanese hiding in the tunnel any chance to make a comeback.
Without room to move, the Japanese in the tunnels could only be wiped out bit by bit, without even a single fish slipping through the net.
After destroying a piece of the island, the tank regiment, with the assistance of the infantry regiment, continued to advance and cut. The entire island was only 24 kilometers deep, five kilometers at a time. It took only a few times to drive the last 2,000-odd Japanese to the cliff;
Below is the rough sea, and what drives them to a dead end is the Foot Pot Chicken National Salvation Army, which has the same ancestors as them and wears the same military uniform.
Seeing that there was no way out, a man in navy uniform walked out from among the Japs. He calmly said in Japs' language:
"I am Lieutenant General Nagumo Chuichi, the commander of the Navy stationed in Saipan. I would like to meet your commander, Lieutenant General Sekihara."
Half an hour later, Lieutenant General Sekihara and Major General Tajima came over in a jeep. He was about to meet the famous Lieutenant General Nagumo.
"Nagumo-kun, I am Sekihara Roku, the national salvation army of Takumi. Are you ready to join the great cause of saving Takumi?"
Lieutenant General Nan Yun sneered disdainfully and said contemptuously:
"Sekihara-kun, not everyone is as boneless as you. Doesn't it feel good to recognize a thief as your father?"
After hearing this, Guan Yuan was not angry and sneered:
"I'm not here to argue with you. If you call me here just to say this, then I won't accompany you. You can go on your way. I'll see you off on the last journey."
Naturally, Lieutenant General Nagumo did not want to scold Sekihara. A person like Sekihara would not be afraid of scolding at all. He straightened his expression and said:
"Swan Yuan-kun, if I guess correctly, Chuxiong promised you that you will take the lead in establishing a pro-China government in the future, right?"
Sekihara nodded and motioned for him to continue speaking. As long as he wasn't scolding him, he could stay and listen.
Nanyun continued:
"I have to admit that losing this war is a foregone conclusion. It is not impossible for you to establish this National Salvation Army. At least you can save some of the blood of the Yamato nation;
Mr. Sekihara, for the sake of being a member of the Yamato nation, I would like to advise you that you can seek refuge with China or you can seek refuge with Eagle Sauce, but you must not think about being a snake and a rat, playing both sides, and participating in the conflict between China and Eagle Sauce. The battle of giants!
That will only make the chicken fall into the abyss of eternal destruction. The chicken has lost the qualification to participate in this game. The best strategy is to demilitarize the chicken;
Take the initiative to disarm and leave security protection issues to China. This will at least preserve the continuation of the Yamato nation!
If this is the case, there is no need for the royal family to exist. They are the source of all unstable factors. If it is not convenient for General Chu to deal with it, just work hard. For the continuation of the nation in the future, the royal family should also go to hell with the old empire.
Those restless elements are sent to hell, I'm waiting for them below! "
Nagumo's words aroused great interest in Sekigahara. It seems that there are wise people who understand his behavior. At a small level, he wants to save the lives and prosperity of his family. At a large level, he also wants to preserve the continuation of the nation. This is called saving the country through curves!
Thinking of this, the last bit of guilt left in his heart disappeared. Those who called him a Japanese traitor and a Chinese dog were the only ones who knew the ambitions of a swan;
It may also be out of envy and jealousy. Not everyone is qualified to be Commander Chu and Hua Xia’s dog!
"Nagumo-kun, since you also agree with our curved cause of saving the country, you might as well join in. The post of Navy Minister in the future new government will be yours."
Sekihara's words made Lieutenant General Nagumo's heart flutter for a moment, and then disappeared again. He couldn't deceive himself, so he smiled bitterly and said:
"Sekihara-kun, neither Huaxia nor Eagle Sauce will allow footbath chickens and the navy. At most, there will only be a few small gunboats. Everyone has their own ambitions. I will disappear with this evil old empire. The continuation of the nation in the future will be entrusted to you!" "
After Nan Yun finished speaking, he bowed to Sekihara cautiously, and Sekigahara accepted it happily, and then said:
"Nanyun-kun, for the sake of what you said today, I can grant you a request before you die, including protecting your family from the upcoming purge."
Lieutenant General Nagumo originally wanted to refuse forcefully, but when he thought of his lovely little grandson at home, he instantly softened and bowed deeply to Sekihara:
"please!"
After saying that, he turned around and left, then jumped off the cliff. Other Japs followed suit, including Japs and civilians. Not a single one was left. Many of them shouted "Long Live the Emperor" until they died. Sekihara shook his head in disdain and said to Major General Tajima. :
"Tajima-kun, have you seen that except for Nagumo-kun, everyone else is an idiot!
These people jump into the sea, and when they are passed down to the footpan chicken, they will only become Nan Yunjun. No matter how much people hate him, they will no longer embarrass his family;
When we landed, his family was protected by us again, and he had all the dignity. Smart man, he just took pity on our family!
Yuren, this bastard! "
Major General Tajima asked:
"Your Majesty Commander, do we need to protect Nagumo's family for them?"
Lieutenant General Sekihara said calmly:
"Did I promise him? Some people always think that they are smarter than others. They want to be a horse rider and build a brand. How can there be such a good thing in this world?
When he chooses to accompany this old empire into the abyss, then take his family with him. Remember, no one in their family can be left behind! "
After hearing this, Tajima felt inexplicably relieved. His family was gone, so why could Nagumo have one? He asked on purpose.
Naturally, Guan Yuan also knew his little thoughts, so he didn’t point it out and said directly:
"Tajima-kun, from now on you must set a rule for all footbath chickens. If you join the National Salvation Army, you can save your family, otherwise you all must die!
Only in this way will they understand that if they want to protect themselves and their families, they can only surrender to us obediently. Those who obey will prosper and those who rebel will perish! "
Major General Tajima shivered for no reason, and looked at Lieutenant General Sekihara again with awe in his eyes.
As the last group of Japanese soldiers jumped into the sea and committed suicide, the defenders of Saipan were completely wiped out, and the nightmare of the chickens was about to come...
