After a long time, Zhu Liangchengcai said again: "I don't know what happened to the 2nd Guard Company and the other five battalions?" ”

In this night attack arranged by Zhong Yi, the five main battalions and two guard companies attacked from Hanxi Gate, Shuixi Gate, Zhonghua Gate, Wuding Gate, Tongji Gate, Guanghua Gate, and Zhongshan Gate.

Judging by the timing, it's almost time to come back.

"Lao Zhu, don't be lucky." Zhong Yi said, "It's definitely all the same." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a chaotic footstep behind the four people, and when they looked back, they saw He Yunpeng, Liang Feng, Zhao Zhiguo, Li Sifu, Yuan Qiang, several battalion commanders and Chi Peng walking over with their heads bowed.

Chi Peng was also smoked into a flower face, and obviously like Zhao Hanxing, he personally led the team to charge.

As soon as they saw the six people like this, Zhong Yi and the others knew that there must be no good result, and they must have suffered a big loss.

Sure enough, the six people walked up to Zhong Yi, and He Yunpeng said: "Tuanza, the little devils outside the city have already taken precautions, and we have not been able to succeed, but we have lost a lot of brothers. ”

After finishing speaking, He Yunpeng waited to be trained by Zhong Yi.

Even Liang Feng and the other five have done a good job in psychological construction.

The battle was not fought well, and it was natural to be disciplined by the commander!

However, to He Yunpeng's great surprise, Zhong Yi did not reprimand them.

Zhong Yi waved his hand and said: "The reason why this night attack failed, the responsibility is not you, the main responsibility lies with me, I was negligent, I should have thought that the devil would dig a trench!" ”

What Zhong Yi said was all psychological words, like Qiu Qingquan didn't know that the devil's habit was still willing, but as a modern person who has crossed over from the 21st century, it is unforgivable to forget that the devil still has the habit of "groundhog", it seems that after successfully awakening more than 100,000 national troops, he began to get a little carried away!

"Let's go, let's go back to the regiment headquarters first." After Zhong Yi finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Qiu Qingquan and the others silently followed.

……

At the same time, in the town of Tanghua.

Matsui Ishine was woken up from his sleep by adjutant Kakura Yoshiharu, took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, it was already more than 5 o'clock in the morning of the 17th, and it would be dawn in another hour.

Dressed and put on his hat, Matsui Ishine went straight to the war room of the headquarters.

When the old devil arrived in the war room, Tsukada Tsukashi, Iinuma Mamoru and Nagayong and Muto Akira and other staff officers had already arrived.

Seeing Matsui Ishine walk in, Tsukada and the others hurriedly bowed deeply and said in unison: "Your Excellency the General!" ”

Matsui Ishine waved his hand, and while walking to the sand table in the center of the hall, he asked casually, "Gentlemen, nothing happened last night, right?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Tsukada attacked: "There really is." ”

"Nani?" Matsui Shigen's heart jumped when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" ”

Seeing Matsui Shigen's expression, Tsukada knew that he wanted to fork out, and quickly explained: "Your Excellency, General, it's not a big deal, it's just that there are several groups of Zhina troops attacking from seven cities such as Hanxi Gate and Zhonghua Gate at the same time. ”

"Breakout?" Matsui Shigen first breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then sneered, "The Shina army is really naïve, surrounded by the imperial army, and even wants to break through?" ”

"Hello!" Tsukada paused and said, "These Shina troops are not only naïve, but also stupid!" ”

"Let's not talk about them yet." Matsui Shigen waved his hand and said, "Tsukada-kun, has there been a reply from the base camp?" ”

"Your Excellency General, you haven't ...... yet" Before Tsukada finished speaking, a young officer suddenly strode in.

Officer Shaozo walked straight to Matsui Shigen, straightened his feet and paused again: "Your Excellency General, the base camp is in an emergency!" ”

Without waiting for Matsui Ishine to speak, Tsukada had already received the telegram, and after reading the telegram in a hurry, Tsukada immediately froze in place, his face full of shock.

Chang Yong, Muto Zhang and other staff officers immediately looked at each other, what is the situation?

Matsui Ishone's heart also sank suddenly, and asked, "Tsukada-kun, what does the base camp say?" ”

However, Tsukada didn't seem to hear it, and he didn't react until Mamoru Iinuma shouted twice, and Tsukada woke up like a dream, and quickly apologized to Matsui Ishone.

Matsui Ishine waved his hand and asked impatiently, "Tsukada-kun, what does the telegram say?" ”

"Hello!" Tsukada took a deep breath of cold air, suppressed the agitation in his chest, and said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency, the base camp has raised 200 million yen in accordance with the will of His Majesty the Emperor!" Moreover, all this money will be used to reward the officers and soldiers of the imperial army who participated in the battle to capture Nanjing! ”

"Nani? 200 million yen? ”

"All for our rewards?"

"Amaterasu, is this true?"

In an instant, the entire war room exploded.

Matsui Ishone was also full of disbelief.

This is 200 million yuan, according to 200,000 people, each person can also get 1,000 yuan, which is enough to buy a big house or a prosperous shop in a good location in the county!

……

When Hirohito had a secret conversation with Tada, the bounty was 700 million, and each officer and soldier was rewarded with 5,000.

However, this was only an immature idea, and after Tada returned to the General Staff Headquarters, he would refine it with the Chief of Operations Shimomura and a senior staff officer from the General Staff Headquarters.

First of all, egalitarianism certainly doesn't work.

If you engage in egalitarianism, there will definitely be people who play tricks, such as finding a place to hide during the war, anyway, as long as you capture Nanjing, everyone will have a reward, so why take the risk?

So, the reward has to be tied to the number of kills!

Secondly, the total bounty of 700 million yuan is too exaggerated, as soon as this bounty comes out, the morale of the five divisions and detachments participating in the battle of Nanjing will definitely rise sharply, but the morale of other troops will definitely plummet.

Finally, there must be a distinction between the reward criteria for killing ordinary Chinese soldiers and killing officers of the national army!

In the end, the Japanese base camp determined a standard according to the approximate number of national troops in Nanjing, with a reward of 100 yuan for each Chinese soldier killed, 1,000 yuan for each officer killed, and 100,000 yuan for killing Zhong Yi!

If you can occupy the whole city of Nanjing within three days, the bonus will be increased tenfold on the original basis!

In order to capture Nanjing as quickly as possible, to force China to surrender as quickly as possible, and to restore the international image of the Japanese government and the Japanese imperial family, in the face of the Ministry of Finance's resolute refusal to provide funds, he even persuaded the Minister of Naval Command, Fushimi Miyahiro, to stop the funds originally used for the construction of the battleship Musashi.

Because of Zhong Yi's little butterfly, history has taken a small turn here, and in this time and space, the Yamato-class battleships of the Japanese Navy will not have a second ship, the Musashi.
