"Nani?" Matsui Ishine was stunned when he heard this.

Matsui Ishine didn't expect that Hatohiko Asakamiya really didn't want Shanghai to send a retort army to participate in the battle!

Akira Muto, Mamoru Iinuma and Tsukada Tsukasa showed such a look on their faces.

Hatohiko's reaction to the Asaka Palace had long been expected by them, His Royal Highness the Prince was mediocre, but his ambition was not small, this is probably what people often say about his great ambition and talent.

After a long time, Matsui Shigen said very depressedly: "Okay, then let Kanazawa United, as well as Nara United, continue to sweep the unswept areas in Nanjing City!" ”

Nanjing is, after all, the capital of China, and it is very large!

Kanazawa United and Nara United swept through the whole day, and only a small area was swept away! If you want to sweep it all, it will take ten days and a half months!

At this time, Muto Akira asked, "Your Excellency General, that matter has to be considered!" ”

"What's that?" Matsui Ishine sighed lightly and asked, "Which thing?" ”

Muto Akira said: "What about the 100,000 soldiers who hid in the international security zone?" ”

Long before the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, Japan sent a large number of spies to China, and Nanjing, as the capital of China, naturally had many Japanese spies lurking.

Therefore, the Japanese army knew about the situation of the national army hiding in the international security zone.

Matsui Shigen pondered for a moment, looked around and said, "Gentlemen, what do you think?" ”

Tsukada attacked: "Your Excellency, General, although these 100,000 defeated soldiers have laid down their weapons, they are always a hidden danger, and I think that they should be solved as soon as possible." ”

After a pause, Tsukada attacked again: "It's better to kill them all!" ”

Iinuma Mamoru said: "But the problem is that the international security zone in Nanjing was initiated and established by the German Rabe, and the imperial foreign ministry has already acquiesced. ”

When Matsui Shigen heard this, he immediately frowned.

Chang Yong said: "These 100,000 defeated troops must be eradicated as soon as possible, how can we be afraid of international influence? ”

After a pause, Chang Yong said again: "Especially now that Zhong Yi's 367th Regiment is also conducting a live broadcast of the battlefield, trying to reawaken the fighting spirit of these 100,000 armies, we need to be vigilant!" ”

Matsui Shigen nodded subconsciously, which was also what he was worried about.

Once Zhong Yi reawakens the fighting spirit of these 100,000 troops, and then all of them join the 367th Regiment, then their Central China Front will be in big trouble!

This not only means that the time for the capture of Nanjing will be greatly extended, but also that the Central China Front will pay a much greater price than it is now!

I don't know if the four divisions that participated in the siege of the city will be disabled by Zhong Yi!

Muto Zhang said: "Changjun's worry is exactly what I am worried about, but I personally don't agree with Changjun's handling method!" ”

Chang Yong said: "I don't know what Muto-kun thinks? ”

Muto Akira said: "I reiterate that the 100,000 troops have taken off their uniforms, laid down their weapons and hid in the international security zone, which means that they have lost the will to resist and are not ready to be enemies of the Imperial Japanese Army!" At this time, if the imperial army went in to arrest people, would it arouse the desperate heart of the soldiers? ”

After a pause, Muto Akira said: "Unless the Imperial Army can capture all the soldiers in the International Security Zone in a short period of time, otherwise, regardless of whether the captured part will resist, most of the remaining soldiers will definitely put on their uniforms again and take up arms to fight the Imperial Army to the death!" ”

Matsui Ishone, Tsukada Tsukasa and the others immediately showed a contemplative look on their faces.

It must be admitted that Muto Akira's worries are justified, and if the persecution is too urgent, the result can often only be counterproductive! After all, the Nanjing International Security Zone has a radius of nearly four square kilometers, hundreds of streets and alleys, and tens of thousands of buildings of all kinds, and it is impossible for the Japanese army to search such a large area in a short period of time!

Chang Yong also felt that Muto Zhang's worries were reasonable, and said: "Otherwise, the soldiers who have been ordered to hide in the international security zone will leave the city before noon tomorrow and accept the screening of the imperial army?" Otherwise, you will be killed? ”

"This won't work!" Matsui Shigen shook his head and said, "The soldiers are not stupid, how can they take the initiative to go out of the city?" ”

Chang Yong's face immediately turned red when he heard this, in fact, he himself thought that this idea was very stupid.

After pondering for a moment, Matsui Shigen continued: "In this case, let's ignore the international security zone for now, although Zhong Yi is trying to reawaken the fighting spirit of these soldiers through the radio, but it won't be so easy to do!" However, Zhong Yi's department will hold out until tomorrow evening at most, so there will be no major problems. ”

Hearing Matsui Ishone's words, Tsukada and the others nodded silently.

……

At the same time, the headquarters of the 6th Division outside the Zhonghua Gate.

Shigetoku Shigeta, chief of staff of the 6th Division, also made the same judgment as Matsui Ishone.

Shigetoku Shigeta said to Shiro Inaba, the commander of the 6th Division: "The commander of the division, the 10th Wing of the Independent Heavy Artillery and the 5th Brigade of the Independent Siege Heavy Artillery are rushing to Nanjing overnight, and the 5th Brigade of the Independent Siege Heavy Artillery has already passed Jurong, and it will definitely be able to arrive by noon tomorrow at the latest!" ”

After a pause, Shigeta Shigetoku said again: "At that time, it will be the end of the 367th regiment!" ”

"Really?" Inaba Shiro was still a little worried, and said with a frown, "Shigeta-kun, are you sure that the 5th Brigade of the Independent Siege Heavy Artillery can completely destroy the fortifications of Xinjiekou?" ”

"Hello!" Shigeta Shigedeton said, "The 150mm caliber cannon equipped with the 5th Brigade of the Independent Siege Heavy Artillery can even penetrate the fortifications of the fortress, not to mention several buildings with reinforced concrete structures? Division commander, don't worry, as soon as the 5th Brigade of the Independent Siege Heavy Artillery arrives, Zhong Yi's 367th Regiment will be dead! ”

"Yo Xi!" Inaba Shiro nodded happily, thought about it and specially advised, "Shigeta-kun, tell Sakai-kun that you must protect the 5th Brigade of the Independent Siege Heavy Artillery, and don't let Zhong Yi take advantage of the loophole!" This Zhong Yi is very cunning, don't accidentally let the 5th Brigade of the Independent Siege Heavy Artillery be poisoned! ”

"Hello!" Shigeta Shigetoku said, "I will remind Sakai-kun to be vigilant." ”

"Yo Xi!" Shiro Inaba nodded again, and said, "In addition, you tell Sakai-kun and Okamoto-kun that I am basically satisfied with the performance of Kumamoto United, and I hope they can continue to maintain it tomorrow!" As for the fact that His Royal Highness the Prince still has the base camp, they don't have to worry about it, everything is taken care of by me, the commander of the division! ”

"Hello!" Shigetoku Shigeta paused again.
