At the 10th Division Headquarters.
With a telegram in hand, Moritake Tanabe hurriedly went to find Yanagawa.
"Commander, something bad has happened!”
Yanagawa's face darkened as he said,""What happened? So flustered. Was there any news worse than the annihilation of the 6th division?”
"Commander, the 18th division's commander, Lieutenant General Yoshishima Sadao, just sent a farewell telegram?" Tanabe Moritake lowered his head and said.”
"Nani?"
Yanagawa Heisuke stood up with a whoosh. He widened his eyes and stared at Moritake Tanabe.
"What did you say?"
"The 18th division was ordered to retreat to Guangde, but they were attacked by the Chinese army on the way.”
"The enemy's attacks were swift and fierce. After a fierce battle, the imperial army was defeated. By the time Lieutenant General Niu Dao sent the farewell telegram, the main force of the 18th division had been completely destroyed.”
Yanagawa Tairasuke slumped into the chair and said in a daze,""How did this happen?"
"When did such a powerful army appear in China?”
"Have you found out who did it?”
Tanabe Moritake lowered his head." We haven't found out the specific number of this unit yet, but according to the information we have so far, this unit is indeed well-equipped.”
"It is said that they are also equipped with a large number of chariots, and the light weapons used by the soldiers are basically German machinery equipment. They also have a large number of submachine guns and machine guns, so their firepower is very strong.”
Yanagawa Heisuke's heart turned cold. The news of the 6th division being wiped out had just been reported, and now the 18th division was finished.
Now, he was still waiting for the punishment from the headquarters!
There might have been a chance of survival, but Yanagawa was now completely finished.
Thinking about how his future was ruined just like that, Yanagawa could not help but feel heartache.
In 1936, because of the 226 incident, Yanagawa was dismissed from his post and placed in the reserves.
At that time, Yanagawa thought that his military career was probably over.
However, the Lugouqiao incident gave Yanagawa a glimmer of hope.
As expected, Yanagawa was re-recruited into the army and became the commander of the 10th army.
Following that, Yanagawa Tairasuke led his troops to land at Kanayama Guard, completely breaking the stalemate of the Battle of Songhu.
As their flanks were threatened, the Chinese army began to retreat. Soon after, the Japanese army advanced together, and the Chinese army was completely defeated.
They were routed from the Songhu area to the vicinity of Jinling.
It could be said that in the Battle of Songhu, Yanagawa's 10th Army played a decisive role, and Yanagawa also made great contributions.
All the major newspapers rushed to report on it, and Yanagawa became the hero of the Wei Nation and was highly sought after.
If things developed according to this trend, it wouldn't be long before Yanagawa Heisuke could get the military rank of general that he had always dreamed of because of his military achievements.
But now…
Everything was over!
Not to mention the rank of general!
It was already good enough that he could keep his life!
At this moment, a Japanese officer rushed in and said with his head lowered,"Commander, the base camp just sent a telegram.”
Yanagawa Heisuke acted as if he didn't hear him. He was still sitting there in a daze, his eyes lifeless.
Moritake took the telegram and read it carefully.
"Commander…"
"Speak!"
Yanagawa said weakly,""I can handle it."
Tianbian Shengwu said carefully,""The headquarters have ordered that the commander be removed from his position and the 10th division be removed from its name. All the troops under his command will be under the direct jurisdiction of the Central China dispatch army.”
"And order the commander to return to the country immediately for investigation!”
Yanagawa Heisuke looked up at Moritake Tanabe and squeezed out a smile, but it was an ugly one.
"Just being transferred back to the country?"
"I thought I would be ordered to commit suicide!”
"Good, good, good!"
"That's great!"
Seeing Yanagawa's strange expression, Tanabe Moritake couldn't help but ask,""Commander, are you alright?”
Yanagawa waved his hand." I'm fine! Very good!"
Then, Yanagawa stood up with difficulty.
At this moment, Yanagawa's face was pale, and beads of sweat kept appearing on his forehead.
"I'll go back and pack up now. I'll return to China now!”
Yanagawa said as he stood up and walked out of the office.
However, he had only taken two steps when he fell to the ground.
" Commander!"
"Hurry up! Call the military doctor!"
The military doctor rushed over in a hurry. After a few hours of resuscitation, he still could not save Yanagawa's dog life.
Because of a sudden heart attack, Yanagawa ended his sinful life prematurely.
After the news spread, all the major newspapers in China rushed to report on how the Chinese army defeated the Japanese pirates and wiped out two and a half divisions of the Japanese pirates. They also scared the commander of the 10th division of the Japanese pirates to death.
Of course, it was an exaggeration to say that he was scared to death. This was only for the sake of publicity.
However, Yanagawa had indeed suffered a series of heavy blows and died of a heart attack.
(Note: In history, Yanagawa died of a heart attack in 1945, so this old man had heart disease.)）
[Apologize: I'm really sorry. I made a mistake yesterday. I wrote chapter 34 as chapter 34, but I missed chapter 35. Now, I've corrected everything.]
