"On May 22, the Chinese army on the Western Front moved south from the Shan Plateau and occupied Chiang Mai." Kenji Doihara reported to Koiso Kuniaki, Sugiyama Gen, Itagaki Seishiro and others:

"There are more than 6,000 imperial warriors belonging to the 16th Army, and the servant armies of the two divisions have collapsed or surrendered on the spot!"

"The Chinese army has entered the hinterland of Siam, and Lieutenant General Imamura Jun of the 16th Army is nervously arranging defenses."

The enemy's advance was so fast that Koiso Kuniaki and others had no choice but to frown.

Kenji Doihara continued:

"The Southern Army on the West Route crossed the mountains and captured Banta Thongna, Kanchanaburi, etc. Their next target will be Nonthaburi, and then Bangkok!"

"Two divisions of the Chinese army took control of Natawi, cutting off the connection between Indochina and the Malay region."

"The imperial army in the south tried to attack north to coordinate with the 16th Army, but the Chinese army's firepower was so fierce that they were unable to establish contact!"

"Then there's the middle road and the east road."

Doihara Kenji did not stop and said directly:

"China's central army captured Wan, and the Xiang Empire's army had to retreat south."

"To the east, the Chinese entered Annan from Lao Cai and Zhennang Pass, and successively conquered Lao Cai, Lang Son, Langzhuang, Bac Giang, Yen Bai, etc. The two armies are approaching Hanoi. The situation is not optimistic!"

"The situation worsened the fastest on Hainan Island. In just two days, the imperial army had lost all coastal cities."

"Judging from the report of Lieutenant General Fukuda Ryozo, the 1st Independent Infantry Battalion, 6th, 8th and 4th Special Marine Corps suffered heavy losses. Currently, there are less than 3,000 Imperial warriors still resisting, and the rest have all surrendered to the Empire.

His Majesty the Emperor’s jade is shattered!”

"Lieutenant General Fukuda Ryozo sent a report to the base camp. They will hold on until the last man and will never surrender!"

"but………"

Doihara Kenji stopped talking when he said this. Everyone knew from the next words that Hainan Island was no longer safe.

Koiso Kuniaki said after a moment of silence:

"Send a report to General Judai Terauchi and ask him to tell the Fourteenth Army and the Sixteenth Army that the imperial army must make full use of the servant army, fully mobilize the local people, and learn from the Chinese in the scorched earth war of resistance!"

"At the moment, the Chinese army is very powerful, but this situation will not last forever. As the front expands, they must be powerless and tired of dealing with harassment from servants or local resistance forces."

"You must persist, don't give up easily, and persist for at least half a year!"

Doihara Kenji recorded Oiso Kuniaki's words.

The conference room quickly became quiet as they realized there was only so much they could do.

Not only China's Southern Expeditionary Army is marching mightily, but the American navy and land forces moving south are also constantly marching towards the Japanese mainland.

Yamashita Fengwen is known as the Malayan Tiger, but his tiger obviously cannot stop the Americans.

The battle in the Philippine Islands has entered a fever pitch. With the continuous advancement of the United States Navy and Army, the area controlled by the Japanese is getting smaller and smaller, and they are about to be driven off the island.

The three remaining main forces of the Southern Army were all fighting and unable to support each other.

Discussing the war situation would only make everyone feel heavy. Koiso Kuniaki shook his head and took the topic in another direction.

"Have the losses in Tokyo City been calculated?"

Itagaki Seishiro nodded, twitched the corners of his mouth a few times and said:

"About 120,000 houses were damaged, nearly 80,000 people died directly in the fire, 250,000 people were injured, and more than 600,000 people are waiting for resettlement from the government!"

"The factories around the city were severely damaged and will not be able to carry out industrial production within two or three months."

"11 radar stations were destroyed and 3,300 air defense warriors were killed!"

"Nearly thirty warships were injured or sank in Tokyo Bay, and the number of naval casualties exceeded 5,000!"

"The sacred toilet was completely destroyed, and His Majesty's palace was also hit. His Majesty temporarily lives in a palace outside the city."

As the damage reports were listed one by one, the old Japanese were silent again, with sad and solemn expressions.

Koiso Kuniaki kept sighing in his heart.

If the situation continues to deteriorate, he will not be able to serve as prime minister for long.

He wanted to negotiate with China and the United States for conditional surrender.

But the officers of the navy and the army did not agree to surrender, and China and the United States did not tolerate him.

The most likely path he thinks is dead, so is Japan really the only path to destruction?

Sugiyama Gen and Itagaki Seishiro were already preparing for local operations. Koga Mineichi of the Navy did not dare to organize a large-scale fleet to fight the United States Navy in a decisive battle at sea like Yamamoto Isoroku. He adopted harassment and sneak attack tactics.

The generals of the navy and the army were still stubborn, refusing to admit their defeat and never surrender.

At noon on May 23, the fire in Tokyo City was completely extinguished, and the smoke and dust overhead also dissipated.

More than 500 kamikaze fighters, led by fanatical officers, lined up in neat lines and walked through the ruins of Tokyo.

Beside them stood hundreds of thousands of disgraced people busy cleaning up the ruins.

These people's clothes were in rags, their faces were stained with black ash, and only a pair of numb eyes were exposed.

Tokyo suffered a devastating blow, but the people still believed in the emperor.

Under the emperor's instigation, nearly one million people began to sort out the ruins and prepare to rebuild their homes.

These more than 500 suicide squads came from the navy and army, and Ogura and Kuroki were among them.

When they saw the tragic situation in Tokyo city, most of the suicide squad members were so angry that their eyes turned red and their teeth chattered.

The sound of suppressed heavy breathing could be heard in the queue.

A small number of people like black trees are shocked by the power of China and lament the insignificance and preciousness of life.

A suicide squad of more than 500 people came to the ruins of the sacred toilet.

Huaxia's attack was so thorough that Kuroki could hardly tell that this was the solemn and solemn divine toilet before.

The suicide squad members lined up neatly in front of the ruins. A major general officer from the base camp led everyone to bow three times in the direction of the palace, and then bow three times to the ruins.

Afterwards, the major general officer began hysterically detailing Hua Xia's crimes. His cheeks turned red and saliva flew everywhere.

After talking about the crimes, he started talking about the incompetence and guilt of contemporary Japanese soldiers.

It aroused the emotions of most of the suicide squad members.

Then there is the same mountain call.

After the ceremony, most of the suicide squad members believed that China was their life and death enemy, and they were willing to sacrifice their lives just to stop the Chinese.

After that, we visited the miserable conditions in the refugee camps and hospitals outside the city.

After this series ended, even people like Kuroki had some changes in their mood.
