Chapter 257: Hatohiko's counterattack

Chairman Chiang's focus is not on this.

No matter how beautiful a battle is, what is the use of birds? It's all about lasting!

At that moment, Chairman Jiang asked: "Jiansheng, you can analyze and analyze the next battle situation." ”

"What's next?" Bai Chongxi looked embarrassed and said, "Commission, this is really difficult to say, because there is no way to contact the 367 regiment directly, and I don't know the specific situation of Nanjing City." ”

Chen Bui, who came with him, took the opportunity to give Zhong Yi eye medicine and asked Qian Dajun: "Mu Yin, your attendant room still can't get in touch with the 367 regiment?" ”

Qian Dajun shook his head and said, "No, I haven't been in touch so far." ”

Chairman Jiang frowned, and said to Bai Chongxi, "You just say whatever you want." ”

"Okay, then let's analyze the known situation." Bai Chongxi said, "First of all, one thing we can already be sure of, that is, just now, another national army of at least 1,000 people has joined the 367th Regiment, with this national army joining, I believe that at least tomorrow, Xinjiekou will definitely not be lost!" ”

Chairman Jiang nodded, and said, "So, what about the day after tomorrow?" ”

Bai Chongxi sighed lightly and replied, "Then it depends on whether there will be more defeated troops to join the 367th Regiment tomorrow." ”

Chen Cheng said: "In other words, if there are no more routs to join the 367th Regiment, the 367th Regiment will hold out for another day at most?" ”

"I'm afraid so!" Bai Chongxi said, "Most of the 367 regiments have now obtained military supplies from the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps and the 74th Army, so there is no shortage of weapons and ammunition, but there is a lack of soldiers!" If you can't get the rout replenishment in the security zone, at noon the day after tomorrow at the latest, the Xinjiekou formation will definitely be lost! ”

Chairman Jiang said: "Tomorrow can't repeat today's miracle?" ”

"No way, take a seat." Bai Chongxi said, "The same mistake, no matter how stupid the devil is, it is impossible to make it twice in a row!" If nothing else, tomorrow will be the final battle of the 367th regiment! ”

Chairman Chiang's face fell again.

……

At the same time, the headquarters of the 10th Army in Chunhua Town.

"Hayi, this Zhong Yi is very cunning!" Inaba Shiro paused, and then said, "But rest assured, Your Highness, no matter how cunning Zhong Yi is, the 367 regiment will not be able to survive tomorrow!" ”

"Really?" Hatohiko of Asaka Palace said coldly, "Inaba-kun, are you sure? ”

"Hello!" Inaba Shiro paused again, and said, "In this evening's attack, although the 6th Division suffered a big loss, it also figured out the exact strength of the 367th Regiment, and so far, the 367th Regiment has at most 500 people left!" ”

"Isn't that right?" Hatohiko said, "Didn't more than 2,000 of the routed soldiers flow out of the security zone and cross Zhongshan Road into the defense area of the 367th Regiment?" ”

"Hay, that's true." Inaba Shiro paused, "But even if that's the case, it doesn't matter!" ”

After a pause, Shiro Inaba continued: "The reason why the 6th Division failed today is not because of how strong the 367th Regiment is, but because we have made mistakes ourselves, but tomorrow, we will not be able to make the same low-level mistakes again, the 367th Regiment and Zhong Yi have no chance to take advantage of it, so they can only be wiped out!" ”

"Yo Xi!" Hatohiko of Asaka Palace said happily, "Inaba-kun, the base camp and the royal family, you don't have to worry, I will bear everything for you, but tomorrow, you must take Xinjiekou and take Zhong Yi's head to give the imperial army's Rizhang Banner to sacrifice the flag!" ”

"Hello!" Inaba Shiro paused suddenly, and then said, "However, Your Highness, the 6th Field Artillery Wing and the 10th Independent Field Heavy Artillery Wing, which are working together, are no longer out of shells. ”

"You don't have to worry about that." Hatohiko waved his hand and said, "I have already coordinated with the Shanghai Dispatch Army, and a batch of shells will be delivered before dawn tomorrow!" ”

"Hello!" Inaba Shiro paused again and said loudly, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, tomorrow, our 6th Division will definitely take the Xinjiekou position and take Zhong Yi's head to sacrifice the flag!" ”

"Yo Xi!" Hatohiko nodded happily and said, "Go ahead." ”

"Hello!" Shiro Inaba paused for the third time, then walked away with his saber on his shoulder.

Seeing Shiro Inaba disappear, the chief of staff of the Tenth Army, Tetsujiro Yamada, said: "Your Highness, I'm afraid you still have to keep an eye on the soldiers in the security zone, and you can't let them flow into the defense area of the 367th Regiment, otherwise, the 367th Regiment will be able to continue to replenish its troops from the security zone, and the difficulty for the Imperial Army to completely annihilate the 367th Regiment will be greatly increased!" ”

"Do you still have to say that?" Hatohiko of Asaka Palace didn't have a good breath, "The key thing to ask is that the imperial army can't take drastic action against the Shina rout hiding in the safety zone for the time being, otherwise it will cause a backlash from the Shina rout!" In this way, even if some of the defeated troops can be solved, most of the remaining branches will definitely join the 367 regiment immediately, and the situation will be even more tricky! ”

Yamada Tetsujiro said: "You can not take drastic actions, but you must take care of these broken soldiers!" ”

"What do you mean?" Hatohiko Asakamiya said with a stir in his heart, "Send troops into the security zone and take care of the various refugee camps where the defeated soldiers are hidden?" ”

Tetsujiro Yamada said: "Your Highness, I'm afraid it's only like this!" ”

"Nope." Hatohiko Asakamiya was very rigid and self-serving on some issues, but when it came to Western countries, especially Germany, he was very hesitant, and immediately shook his head and said, "If you really send troops into the security zone, it will be equivalent to no longer recognizing the legitimacy of the security zone, and it will cause international criticism!" Damage the image of the Imperial Army! ”

My Royal Highness, what kind of international criticism and the image of the imperial army do you care about at this time? Victory comes first!

But in this case, Tetsujiro Yamada finally didn't dare to say it, he only dared to say: "Your Highness, then you can only adopt a compromise plan and ask the boundary of the security zone to retreat two hundred meters to the west, so that the imperial army can occupy the block west of Zhongshan Road, and the security zone can be isolated from the defense zone of the 367th Regiment!" The routed troops in the security zone will no longer be able to enter the defense zone of the 367th regiment! ”

"Yo Xi, that's a good idea!" Hatohiko nodded happily and said, "I'll call the German embassy!" ”

Tetsujiro Yamada hesitated, and finally said: "Your Highness, after these two days of fierce fighting, the 6th Division is already exhausted, I'm afraid it is not able to fight anymore, why don't you withdraw from the city to rest first, and change to the 114th Division to attack?" ”

"No way!" In this regard, Hatohiko of Asaka Palace refused without hesitation, and said categorically, "The glory of completely capturing Nanjing must belong to and can only belong to Kumamoto United!" ”

"Hello!" Tetsujiro Yamada slammed his head and said no more.

In fact, Tetsujiro Yamada could probably guess the thoughts of Hatohiko Asakanomiya, and the reason why he insisted on using the 6th Division to attack was nothing more than because of face.
