PS: Bow and thank you for the precious monthly ticket from Cangwu Plum, Dry Branches Wilting Flowers, and Knowing Summer Rain overnight, thank you!!

Sure enough, when the plane flew out of Lhasa, the houses on the edge of the Potala Palace in Lhasa were shattered in the explosion and then annihilated by the flames. Needless to say, Shinichi Nanda either suffocated to death in the tunnel or was shocked to death, and it was impossible to go up to the ground.

The news of the air raid had already reached Hideki Tojo, but he did not expect it to be so serious, and only a few hours later, there was no news from the most rear-end warning unit left behind in Lhasa.

He was near Yadong at this time, only more than 20 kilometers away from the mountain pass. When he received the greeting from the first air raid to Lin, he had already judged that the advance army was going to attack.

His judgment at this time was the same as that of Nantian Shinichi, and there was no trace of the enemy in Naqu, indicating that the enemy's attack would arrive in Lhasa in three to five days, or a little more, after all, Nagqu was more than 300 kilometers away from Lhasa.

But at this time, he had become a trapped beast, and even if the advance army arrived five days later, he could only be wiped out in this mountain pass.

For no other reason, the British army on the opposite side was very strong, with more than 200 cannons, mortars, heavy machine guns, and light machine guns, and the defense was extremely tight. With only two or three hundred mortars and 92 infantry guns, plus a small number of shells, they simply could not take the position in front. Attacking will be a game of death.

Moreover, according to the report of the reconnaissance team of the infiltration of the British army, the artillery position of the British army was divided into three positions, echelon defense, blocking the front line layer by layer, and the United States and long-range artillery could not attack at all.

When he contacted Nanda Shinichi again, and there was no response from the radio, he looked at Seishiro Itagaki and the others and asked weakly, "We are running out of time, what can you do to solve the position in front?" ”

Everyone looked at Hideki Tojo in the same way, obviously there was nothing they could do. Seishiro Itagaki pondered for a moment, then perked up and asked, "Your Excellency Nanda......

"Major General Nantian has been shattered. The radio station could not be contacted, his headquarters was strong enough to withstand the normal bombing, and the radio station should definitely be fine, so it means that he has been ...... with the radio station."

Ay......

A sigh rang out from the command headquarters. The rabbit died and the fox was sad, and they also thought of their fate soon.

After sighing. Several general-level generals in the headquarters were silent. They were desperate at this point, and they had no chance of returning to their homeland.

In the dreary, time passes slowly. Hours have passed since the first wave of air strikes arrived. It was approaching the afternoon, and the weather had turned cold, but these generals did not know that they were hungry, and they were full of thoughts about how to escape from the ascension.

At this moment, a phone call came from the large camp outside the pass, and the edge of the pass, near the village of Wiener, was attacked by enemy planes. Heavy losses.

Hideki Tojo was taken aback when he received the call, and the enemy had apparently learned the location of the army through reconnaissance a few days earlier.

Indeed, their movements and locations have all been marked on the map of the advance army, and they have long been hidden.

The last wave of Wiener's air raids was the last wave of planes with 100 bombs on their backs and 50 with oil drums, and they did not participate in the last air raid in Lhasa, but went straight to the Yadong Pass and the Cuona Pass.

The group of planes flying to Yadong began to bomb first, and the Japanese army panicked. Bombs rained down, and the loud bang would bring the only one wing. The troops on the most marginal edge of Lhasa, who were used to defend against the pursuing troops on the Lhasa side, turned on their backs, and the improvised position was wiped out in a short moment.

The Japanese army did not expect that the planes of the advance force would chase nearly 300 kilometers away, that the enemy planes would be able to find the base camp of the troops stationed in the ravine without ground guidance, and that the bombing by the planes would actually be powerful aerial bombs and gasoline bombs that exterminated everything.

It didn't even take ten minutes to arrive, and before Hideki Tojo could react and give instructions. It has turned into a sea of fire.

Thickened gasoline does not delay burning even if there is no combustible wood or the like, and at the moment of flames, it is destined to burn to the ground.

When Hideki Tojo's call was made five or six minutes later, there was no one answering there, and the headquarters was burning fiercely in flames. The living, all hiding, fled beyond the explosion and flames.

At the moment when Hideki Tojo couldn't get through the phone, he sat on the ammunition box, and he knew that they might not be able to wait for the enemy's ground forces to attack the Oroqen tribe, and the bombing of the advance army would be a bombing that would destroy everything, and it would be a nightmarish existence. There was no way they could survive the fire, they had to flee to the mountains, where they would eventually freeze or starve to death without food and supplies.

Itagaki Seishiro was much calmer than him, and at the moment when Hideki Tojo was about to collapse, he stepped forward and whispered: "Your Excellency General, I wonder if you want to remind you that since the enemy can attack here, it is not far away, and it is even a little closer than us." ”

"En......"

Hideki Tojo slowly came back to his senses, a muffled voice came out of his neck, and then grabbed the phone, and as soon as it was connected, he ordered loudly: "I'm Hideki Tojo, and I order the troops there in the mountain pass to prepare for air raids!" ”

"Hayi!"

The chief of staff who answered the phone over there gave the order.

But before he could put down the phone, he heard a loud bang, and then the chief of staff shouted in panic: "Report to Your Excellency General, the air raid here has come!" The air raid here has come!! ”

Hideki Tojo was startled, he heard the roar of an explosion coming from the microphone, and he knew that it was too late to prepare there, and the result would be the same as here.

"I order, all the troops withdraw to the periphery and abandon their positions! Abandonment of positions !!"

"Hayi!"

The other end yelled loudly and hung up.

Hideki Tojo sat back, staring blankly ahead, not saying a word or moving.

"Your Excellency General, should we be ready for the attack of the sky tomorrow, it is obviously impossible to fly over the mountains at night, their positioning is a problem, as long as we hide in the ravine during the day, dismantle the camp, and cover up the traces, we will not be easily discovered."

Itagaki Seishiro's words echoed in Hideki Tojo's ears, and he didn't listen to them at all. His eyes were still looking straight ahead, and he didn't react at all.

It's no wonder, even if you dodge an air raid? They still have a hard time escaping. With all the supplies and no food, how long can they survive? After the end of the air raid, a third of their food was destroyed, and the surplus food could survive the troops for a month at most. They stole all the food along the way, but it was so barren that there was not enough food for a brigade to eat for two months.

This is cornered, they have a strong British army in front of them, a line of defense that is difficult to penetrate, and an advance army that is even more difficult to resist behind, and an air attack that cannot be resisted. Escape for a while, and wait for the arrival of the ground forces of the advance army, what will happen to them? The guns of the advance army have a long range and high accuracy, and they are not waiting for death when they have no artillery?

But he is not willing to die so silently, killed or burned by air raids, he is not afraid of death, but this kind of death has no value at all, he is really unwilling.

Itagaki Seishiro has already seen that Hideki Tojo is about to get out of control, although he looks down on Hideki Tojo, the suppression of the third level, he will not make a mutiny, he keeps saying his thoughts, trying to ventilate Hideki Tojo's courage, don't collapse, after all, he is the commander-in-chief designated by the most rearly appointed commander of the base camp.

Countless thoughts swirled in his mind, and he gradually heard Seishiro Itagaki's voice, and his unwillingness did not make him completely lost, and he came back to his senses.

Taking a deep breath and exhaling heavily, Hideki Tojo straightened his clothes, looked up at Seishiro Itagaki who was close at hand, and said: "It is difficult for us to change the fate of being strangled when we flee into the surrounding mountains, the air raids of the advance army are too domineering, and the tunnels in this place without materials cannot withstand the bombardment at all, plus their unresistible gasoline bombs, we have no room to survive at all." ”

As he spoke, his momentum rose sharply, and his voice raised an octave: "Since both horizontal and vertical are dead, then we will have a fish to die and break the net, and since the British will not save them when they see death, then we will make them pay the price!" ”

In the almost roaring voice, a murderous aura spread, making Itagaki Seishiro, who was close at hand, feel it clearly.

Itagaki Seishiro was stunned, and his anger was also stimulated, he stood up and said loudly: "Your Excellency General, you give an order!" ”

Hideki Tojo slowly stood up, looked at the commanders who were already standing, and said loudly: "The tone is waiting to be killed, it is better to fight to the death!" We have to teach those British guys a lesson, let them die and make them pay for their bad decisions!! ”

Crash!

Everyone stood upright, all stood quietly, they mentioned that you were unwilling to die in the air raid like this, or starved to death and froze to death, they also hated the British army who could not be saved, and they did not equate the strength of the British army with their own troops, although there was a gap in weapons, but they believed that the British army could not compare with the advance army, and it was better to defeat the British army in front than to face the advance army without any power to fight back.

In that way, they will have food, ammunition and weapons, and they will have the hope of reaching the seashore and waiting for their warships to meet them.

"I command!"

Hideki Tojo shouted: "All troops move forward, stationed twenty kilometers away from the target, radio silence, prepare for a strong attack, give up the defense behind, we will die and live, fight a bloody way, and return to our country!" ”

"Hayi! Fight your way out!! ”

The momentum in the headquarters has risen sharply, sweeping away the previous decadence, and he already has the courage to fight a decisive battle.

Then, telephone messages flew around. One order after another was delivered, and the troops were ready to spend the night in a tense atmosphere, and at the same time, they all knew that they would march tomorrow morning. (To be continued......)
