The largest guerrilla force on Kyushu Island, with a total of 20,000 to 30,000 Japanese people, is distributed in more than a dozen mountains of various sizes around Grandmother Mountain.

In an attempt to use the cover of the terrain to establish a stable base and carry out a long-term war of resistance.

At the beginning, the development of the Grandmother Mountain base area was relatively good, because a large number of civilians were trapped in the base area, and these civilians could provide troops and food supplies for the guerrillas.

However, as the situation in the Kyushu region continued to develop, the surrounding guerrilla forces were annihilated one after another, and the Grandmother Mountain base area became isolated and helpless.

Zhongxia's bombers would carry out indiscriminate bombings every two days. Regardless of whether the target on the ground was civilian or military, Zhongxia's pilots would not hesitate to drop a large number of aerial bombs and incendiary bombs.

The villages and towns within the base area were reduced to ruins and ashes due to the indiscriminate bombardment by the Central Xia people, with transportation in and out cut off, and even communication between various mountaintops became extremely difficult.

Since November, the Zhongxia 28th Group Army, with the cooperation of the naturalized army, has surrounded the Grandmother Mountain base area from all directions.

They did not immediately launch an attack on Grandmother Mountain, but adopted blockade and isolation methods, directly cutting off the base area's communication with the outside world.

The tattered guerrilla soldiers can only hide in caves or mountains and forests, without having a full meal for ten days and a half.

The poorer people in the civilian team and the army have died one after another, and the remaining people are demoralized and do not think about how to fight. All they think about every day is how to find something to eat in the mountains and forests.

Food shortage is the most serious problem facing the Grandmother Mountain Base Area.

The Zhongxia people set up a loudspeaker broadcast station at the mountain pass, and used different tricks every day to persuade people to surrender.

For the remnants of the original Sixteenth Front Army, the Zhongxia people's persuasion to surrender has become a fixed program. Some people listen to it with relish every day, but from time to time they rub their withered stomachs with their palms and sigh.

Some people could no longer hold on, so they quietly slipped out of the base area and surrendered to the naturalized troops and Zhongxia people in the periphery.

The people who slipped out reported in detail the situation inside the base area, and the Zhongxia people were even less willing to launch a large-scale encirclement and suppression operation.

Because in their opinion, as long as the entrances and exits are blocked, the 20,000 to 30,000 little devils in the base area will starve to death sooner or later.

Winter has arrived, but the snowstorm has not yet arrived.

When the blizzard comes to the mountains of Kyushu, the cold will become the comrade-in-arms of the mid-summer people.

Major General Matsumoto, chief of staff of the Japanese Sixteenth Front Army, tried his best to maintain the operation of the base area, trying every means to raise food and boost the morale of the troops.

The supreme leader, Masazumi Inada, completely lay down.

On November 18th, news came one after another from the mountain pass.

All the news points to one thing,

That is, the Central Xia army landed on Shikoku Island.

After thinking carefully, Major General Matsumoto concluded that the news should be true, and immediately rushed into the dark and damp cave to report to Inada Masazumi.

Inada Masazumi was disheveled, with a gray face, dull eyes, and a beard all over his chin.

After listening to Major General Matsumoto's report, he just raised his eyelids, sighed deeply, and stopped moving.

"Your Excellency, Commander, once Shikoku Island is lost, Kobe and Osaka will also be under threat from the Nakagami Force Peak, and Marshal Seishiro Itagaki will be forced to abandon his carefully constructed defense line and retreat to the Kyoto area."

"We will not be able to get support from the General Army Headquarters and the base camp, and I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for too long."

Inada Masazumi rummaged through a pile of empty wine bottles, trying to numb himself with alcohol again.

He had already finished the wine, but Inada Masazumi got nothing. He became a little anxious and broke the jar and said:

"The matter has nothing to do with us anymore. I have already said, let the warriors surrender."

"The people of Zhongxia regard themselves as the king's master. Presumably they will not kill prisoners on a large scale. After surrendering, the warriors can at least have a hot meal."

"The common people have surrendered, so what reason and motivation do we have to continue fighting?"

"Surrender, surrender..."

His hands kept waving, and sometimes he pulled his hair tightly, looking a little crazy.

Matsumoto sighed silently, asked the orderlies to take good care of the Commander, and then left the damp and dark cave.

Ever since he knew that the people no longer supported the emperor and had turned to trusting the supreme liberator of Japan, Inada Masazumi was completely discouraged and lost all fighting spirit.

He talked about surrender every day, and after hearing it too much, Major General Matsumoto also considered it an option when he was desperate.

After leaving the cave where the Commander was, Major General Matsumoto summoned his two division commanders to discuss the next course of action.

The blockade between the Zhongxia people and the Naturalized Army became increasingly tight, and staying at Grandmother Mountain was the only way to a dead end.

Either rush out and fight to the death, or surrender collectively as the Commander said.

After Major General Matsumoto explained the current situation, the atmosphere in the cave became lifeless.

The two division commanders lowered their heads, seeming to be studying the origin of the rocks under their feet.

Seeing this appearance, Major General Matsumoto realized something in his heart.

'I guess everyone is more inclined to surrender.'

A vigorous battle death only occurs in a moment, but hunger erodes one's body and soul all the time.

What people fear most is not failure, but the complete loss of faith and hope.

After the collapse of faith, the mentality plummets, and people become useless.

Major General Matsumoto was determined to turn the tide. He worked hard to establish the Grandmother Mountain base and maintain its operation.

However, there was no reward for the blood and tears, and the situation was getting worse day by day.

Starvation and cannibalism began to appear on some mountains!

All this happened in just two months.

The Zhongxia people are no longer the greatest enemy of the imperial warriors, hunger is.

On the evening of November 18, representatives from the Grandmother Mountain Base Area were sent out to convey the idea of ​​unconditional surrender.

The 28th Group Army Headquarters was the first to learn of the news and immediately reported it to the Dang Kou Operations Headquarters.

Deputy Commander-in-Chief Cao Bin flew overnight to the outskirts of Grandmother Mountain, and with him was the "Ambassador of Persuading Surrender" Juichi Terauchi.

In the early morning of the 19th, Cao Bin and Yan Yilun, commander of the 28th Group Army, appeared outside Grandmother Mountain together.

The little Japanese only conveyed his desire to surrender unconditionally, but did not say that he would surrender immediately.

However, in the opinion of Cao Bin and Yan Yilun, the matter should be finalized within a day or two.

While the two sides were negotiating for unconditional surrender, Juichi Terauchi continued to broadcast letters of surrender to the mountains.

Every soldier and officer in the Japanese Army knows the name of Juichi Terauchi. When they heard the voice of the Marshal, many people cried bitterly and dropped their weapons at the same time.

Major General Matsumoto has already conveyed the decision to surrender to the entire army.

Some diehards could not accept such a result and committed suicide.

On the morning of November 20, Masazumi, who had tidied up his rice field again, appeared at the mountain pass.

Masazumi Inada carries a general's command sword on his waist, wears white gloves on his hands, is in meticulous military uniform, and has a dignified and solemn expression.

Uninformed people thought that the general was going to lead an army on an expedition.

Behind Masazumi Inada followed 26,000 soldiers.

Unlike the Commander, these soldiers were unkempt and skinny, and some even supported each other, as if the stronger wind could blow them down.

Nearly 2,000 people could not accept surrender and committed suicide yesterday evening.

Among them, the one with the highest military rank is Chief of Staff Major General Matsumoto.

He was doing the work of stabilizing the base area, and he was also in charge of the early stages of the surrender negotiations.

After the matter was settled, he did not leave Grandmother Mountain, but became a pile of rotten meat in an unknown cave.

Cao Bin personally presided over the surrender ceremony and accepted the saber from Inada Masazumi. Yan Yilun, commander of the 28th Group Army, accepted the sabers from the other two major general division commanders.

Witnessed by a large number of Chinese and foreign reporters, the largest Japanese guerrilla force on Kyushu Island announced its unconditional surrender.

The Japanese soldiers placed their weapons at the gathering place, and then walked dejectedly among the officers and soldiers of the 28th Group and the soldiers of the naturalized army.

When facing the reporters' cameras, their eyes dodge a little.

But when he saw the food, his eyes that were averted due to shame disappeared instantly.

All they saw was food, which seemed to be the most wonderful and precious thing in the world.

Since the outbreak of the war, this is the first time such a large-scale Japanese surrender has occurred.

There were 26,000 of them. What a terrifying force this was at the beginning of the war.

But now these 26,000 little devils obediently threw away their weapons and surrendered unconditionally under the leadership of the supreme commander.

This will definitely shock the entire Japanese country and Zhongxia, and it also means that Japan is getting closer and closer to its destruction.

The surrender of the Grandmother Mountain base area was just the beginning. After that, the Japanese guerrillas scattered throughout the Kyushu Mountains would also surrender one after another.

In this security operation, the 28th Group Army achieved great results at a very small cost.

This also verified the success of the campaign to persuade people to surrender, the offensive of public opinion, and the offensive of ideological transformation.

The public security war on Kyushu Island has accumulated rich experience for the Dangkou War Command. When it comes to dealing with the Japanese-occupied areas, the Chinese soldiers are no longer confused and crossing the river by feeling the stones.
