Chapter 250: The End of the Kwantung Army (16)
When he heard that He Rui sent an envoy to escort Lieutenant General Kawahiko Kawahiko leaving Lushun, Major General Fukuhara Kawahiko felt that he had heard it wrong at the first time. Then, many thoughts arose in his mind. Does He Rui want to capture Lieutenant General Kawahiko alive, so he used such fraudulent means? Or does He Rui want to use such means to humiliate the Kwantung Army?

But an impulse emerged immediately. Major General Fukuhara Kawaya hoped that Lieutenant General Kawaka could return to Japan, so that the experience of the Kanto Army could be told to the Ministry of Army and the General Staff. This defeat did make Major General Fukuhara Kawaya feel a huge shame, and at the same time it also caused too much confusion. The war should not be fought like this. The weapons in He Rui's hand were not unexpected. It was impossible to build an army that was so powerful that it was impossible for six years to build. There must be unknown factors in this. Chief of Staff Fukuhara Kawaya wanted to figure out where the problem was.
At this moment, Lieutenant General Kawahisa spoke, "Take that person in."
Chief of Staff Kaya Fukuhara was delighted and turned to look at Lieutenant General Kawahara Kawaka, and the joy in his heart was completely extinguished. Lieutenant General Kawaka was so firm that it was the determination to die.
Not long after, the Northeast Army envoy came in. Chief Fukuhara Kaya felt familiar and recalled it immediately. This person was the one who came to the Kwantung Army Headquarters to declare war two days ago.
Chief of Staff Kaya Fukuhara remembered correctly. Major Yu Cen did not expect that he would come to the Kwantung Army headquarters again to meet Commander Kawaho Cao. Although Yu Cen was not understanding He Rui's thoughts, he was really happy to see the tragic situation of the Kwantung Army.
Saying to Lieutenant General Kawaho Cao, Yu Cen said: "His Excellency, Commander of the Kanto Army, is hereby ordered by Chairman He Rui, the commander of the Northeast Army, to escort you away from Lushun. The car has been waiting outside, and we will send you to the port. Before that, we have contacted the Japanese Navy and asked them to send a ship to pick you up from Lushun Port."
Lieutenant General Kawaho did not raise any questions about whether the action was credible. He sneered, "What is the reason?"
"You are Chairman He's teacher. Chairman He has always admired you. In this situation, please leave Lushun. And you can take any items you want to carry. Our Northeast Army is an honorable army and will never detain or search your personal belongings."
"Where is my subordinate?" Lieutenant General Kawahisa asked.
Yu Cen did not hesitate, "We will persuade them to surrender according to the convention. If they want to uphold the honor of soldiers, the Northeast Army can only follow the rules of the battlefield. But you can lead three personnel as your guard."

Lieutenant General Kawahiko Kawahiko was a little moved, but the honor of the soldiers made him unable to shake it at all. Lieutenant General Kawahiko Kawahiko said coldly: "Since that's the case, why didn't He Rui come here in person?"
Yu Cen smiled slightly, "Can you please move?"
Kawaho Cao was stunned. He didn't expect that He Rui had actually arrived in Lushun. But then he thought that the battle in Kanto Prefecture turned out like this, and the officers who had followed He Rui for six or seven years would not have such command ability. It would be reasonable if He Rui personally commanded it.
Not long after, the Northeast Army drove to the Kwantung Army commander's department and started to drive to a pavilion in a park. The pavilion was also a small attraction in Lushun. At this time, it had been affected by bombs and a big hole was broken on the top. However, after a brief cleaning, the stone table and benches below were cleaned.
Kawaho got out of the car and saw a person standing in front of the pavilion. He was not wearing a military uniform, but wearing a blue shirt. It was He Rui.
Seeing He Rui coming up, Kawaka smiled and said, "Is He Jun going to see me off in this outfit?"
He Rui stepped forward and bowed before saying, "Principal, I have no intention of hurting the principal."
Kawaho Kawa did not take the conversation. He looked around and said, "Since it's a farewell, how can there be no food or food?"
He Rui pointed to the pavilion and said, "Please take the seat."
Kawahisa was not polite, and walked to the stone table and saw a three-layer food box next to it. He Rui opened the food box and took out Japanese-style dishes such as tempura, pickled vegetables, and finally took out two bottles of Japanese-made Daginjo.

Kawahisa was not polite, so he picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of tempura. After eating, he sighed: "Ho Jun, the taste of your chef is still different from that of Japan."
He Rui also ate one, and it turned out to be as Lieutenant General Kawahisa said. Probably, the production of edible oil in Northeast China has increased rapidly in recent years, so it was too bold when frying tempura. In Japan, the method of making tempura is very different from the model of frying fried dough sticks in the Northeast military.
So He Rui picked up the wine and drank a glass with Lieutenant General Kawahiko, then said: "Principal, Ms. Oda, the owner of the Hongye Tingura shop in Tokyo, is a great choice for being a tempura. I wonder if the principal has been there."
Speaking of Tokyo's food, Kawaho sighed, "Ms. Oda passed away last year. It was her second son Yuji Oda who inherited the family business."
"Oh? Ms. Oda's eldest son has been admitted to the military academy?" He Rui was a little surprised.
"I heard from Yuji Oda that his brother ranked first in the written test among candidates. He will naturally pass the exam." After that, Lieutenant General Kawahiko tasted other dishes happily.
He Rui actually advised Lieutenant General Hakka to leave, but he couldn't find a chance. He put down his chopsticks and looked at him. He saw that many trees in the park were charred, probably affected by incendiary bombs. Further away, thick smoke came out of the burning houses. The destroyed smoke column of Lushun Fortress was undoubtedly the most eye-catching.
At this moment, Kawaho Kawa asked, "Mr. He, I heard that when you left Tokyo, you said to many people that it would be merciless to meet on the battlefield in the future. Is there any such thing?"
He Rui turned around and nodded again, "But this happened."
Kawaho put down his chopsticks, stared at He Rui and asked, "Why is He Jun like this today?"

"What the students said at that time was meeting on the battlefield. The situation was settled, so the students still sincerely wanted to ask the principal to leave."
Kawaka smiled and shook his head, "He Jun is still so emotional. I won't leave, but I want to ask, can I let others leave?"
He Rui sighed: "Principal, the battlefield has its own rules. If the principal does not leave, no one can leave. However, students will definitely treat prisoners of war well in accordance with the Geneva Convention. When the war is over, they will also exchange prisoners of war according to the rules."
Kawaho nodded and praised: "This is what a soldier should be."
After saying that, he picked up the chopsticks and started eating and drinking. The two of them didn't talk about military affairs, and they were talking about the things in Tokyo and the past of the school. During this period, Kawahika Kawahika asked a few things about the students he cared about but didn't know about, and He Rui also told them one by one. Kawahika only knew what kind of ghosts the students had plagued in private, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
When he was at a high place, Hehecao knocked on the node with chopsticks and sang: "Fifty years in the world have been like a dream. If there is life and death, what regret is the hero?"
He Rui was stunned. This was when he drank too much and sang loudly at a New Year's party at the Japanese Army University. This was actually an adaptation of Oda Nobunaga's famous poems. The poems of Oda Nobunaga passed down from 'fifty years on earth, like a dream. How can there be immortality in the world?' Unexpectedly, Kawakao actually remembered what He Rui sang at that time.
After Kawaho finished singing, he stood up and smiled and said, "Jun He, after we parted this time, we won't know how long it will take to get back together again. On that day, I will invite Mr He to drink and say goodbye."
He Rui quickly stood up and wanted to make the final persuasion. As soon as he said 'Principal', he was interrupted by Kawahoo. "Jun He, after losing today, I have been reflecting on the past two days, but I have not found any possibility of turning the tables. I can do this so far and deserve to be an excellent soldier. I am proud of teaching Mr. He in my life."
After saying that, Kawahika went away. Looking at Kawahika's back, He Rui sighed slightly. If possible, He Rui really wanted to let Kawahika go back. Even if it was considered to be a utilitarian approach, it was to show Japan that He Rui was not hostile to Japan and showed kindness, and He Rui did not want to kill his teacher.

But He Rui also knew very well that with Kawahara's personality, it would be difficult for him to accept such kindness.
Kawaka returned to the Kwantung Army Headquarters and called Chief of Staff Kaya Fukuhara to talk alone. When there was no one in the room, Kawaka immediately bowed deeply to Kaya Fukuhara, "Fukuhara, I have a reluctant request, please Fukuhara must agree."
Fukuhara Kawasaki hurriedly helped Kawahisa up, "Commander, please don't give this great gift."
Kawaka sighed, "I should have borne this matter, but it is my responsibility to have such a big defeat. If I do not apologize, all the guilt will be borne by the entire Kwantung Army."
"Commander..." Although Fukuhara Kazuya knew that Kawahiro would definitely have such an end, he was still sad to say it.
Kawaka Kawaka continued: "I just talked with He Rui, and He Rui promised to guarantee the rights and interests of prisoners of war in accordance with the Geneva Convention. Therefore, after I cut off my stomach, I asked Fukuhara Jun to lead the troops to surrender. The soldiers have done their best, and we have no reason to let them break after I die. As for the experience of this battle, Fukuhara Jun needs to be released and to state the military to the General Staff Headquarters, so that later soldiers can learn from this battle."
When Fukuhara Kaya heard this, he shook his head, "Commander, the subordinates have a responsibility, and the subordinates must also take responsibility."
"Kun Fukuhara! The responsibility you have to bear is not at this moment!" Kawaka's voice was full of tragic, "If you and I commit suicide, when the officers and soldiers return to Japan, officers with lower levels than you and me will be held accountable. If you and me are still alive, they can continue to serve the Great Japanese Empire. Kun Fukuhara, I know what I am talking about is an extremely inhumane request, and Kun Fukuhara can ignore it at all. If you can't accept it, you can shoot directly at me."
After saying that, Kawahara Kawa pulled out the gun and handed it to Kawahara Kawahara. Kawahara was stunned for a while and pushed away the pistol handed over by Kawahara. His expression was full of pain, but he also felt a little relieved. "Your Excellency, since that's the case, please live and take responsibility. Please rest assured that the commander will definitely try your best to defend those officers and soldiers in the military court."
"Thank you!" Kawaka said, bowing deeply again.
