Chapter 211: Persist at most until tomorrow evening
"Nani?" Matsui Ishione was stunned when she heard this.
Matsui Ishione didn't expect that Asakamiya Hirohiko actually wanted Shanghai to send condemnation troops to participate in the battle!
But the faces of Muto Akira, Iinuma Masato, Tsukada Oku and others showed such a look.
Asakamiya Hirohiko's reaction was as expected by them. His Royal Highness, his abilities were mediocre, but his ambitions were quite large. This is probably what people often say is a big ambition and a lack of talent.
After a while, Matsui Ishione said depressedly: "Okay, then let Kanazawa United and Nara United continue to sweep the unswept areas in Nanjing!"
After all, Nanjing is the capital of China and has a very large area!
The Kanazawa United and Nara United swept all day and only swept the small areas! If you want to sweep them all, it will take at least ten days and half a month!
At this time, Muto asked, "Great General, that matter needs to be considered!"
"That thing?" Matsui Ishigen asked lightly, "What's the matter?"
Muto Akira said: "What should I do if the 100,000 soldiers hiding in the international security zone?"
Long before the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, Japan condemned a large number of spies to China. As the capital of China, there are naturally many Japanese spies lurking.
Therefore, the Japanese army knew about the situation where the national army was hiding in the international security zone.
Matsui Ishigen pondered for a moment, looked around and said, "You guys, what do you think?"
Tsukada Attack said: "Great General, although these 100,000 defeated soldiers have put down their weapons, they are always a hidden danger. Huyi thought he should solve it as soon as possible."
After pausing, Tsukada Oku said again: "It's better to kill them all!"
Iinuma Morikuda: "But the problem is that the international security zone in Nanjing was advocated by the German Rabe, and the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also agreed. At this time, if troops are sent to enter the international security zone on a large scale to arrest people, the international situation is afraid that it will be unfavorable, and the reaction of the German government will be particularly unpredictable!"
When Matsui Ishien immediately frowned when she heard this.
Changyong said: "These 100,000 defeated soldiers must be eliminated as soon as possible. How can we be afraid of the international influence?"
After pausing, Changyong said again: "Especially now that Zhong Yi's 367th Regiment is also conducting a live broadcast on the battlefield, trying to reawaken the fighting spirit of these 100,000 troops, we need to be particularly vigilant!"
Matsui Ishigen nodded subconsciously, which was also what he was worried about.
Once Zhong Yi is asked to awaken the fighting spirit of these 100,000 troops and then join them all to the 367th Regiment, then the Central China Front Army will be in great trouble!
This not only means that the time for the battle to capture Nanjing will be greatly extended, but also means that the Central China Front Army will pay a much larger price than it is now!
Maybe the four divisions that participated in the siege would be destroyed by Zhong Yi!
Muto Akira said: "Changjun's worries are exactly what I worry about, but I personally do not agree with the way Changjun is dealt with!"
Changyong said, "I wonder what kind of insight Muto-kun has?"
Muto Akira said: "I reiterate that the 100,000 Chinese soldiers have taken off their military uniforms and put down their weapons to hide in the international security zone. This means that they have lost their will to resist and are not prepared to be enemies with the Great Japanese Imperial Army! If the Imperial Army goes in to catch people at this time, will it arouse the desperate desire of the Chinese soldiers?"
After pausing, Muto Akira said again: "Unless the Imperial Army can capture all the Chinese soldiers in the international security zone in a short period of time, regardless of whether the captured part will resist. Most of the remaining Chinese soldiers will definitely put on their military uniforms again and take up their weapons to fight the Imperial Army to the death!"
Matsui Ishione, Tsukada Oku and others immediately showed a contemplative look on their faces.
It must be admitted that Akira Muto's concerns make sense. If the force is too urgent, the result will often be counterproductive! After all, the Nanjing International Security Zone is nearly four square kilometers in a radius, hundreds of streets and alleys, and tens of thousands of buildings of various types. It is impossible for the Japanese army to search such a large area in a short period of time!
Nagayong also felt that Muto Akira was worried and said, "Otherwise, the Chinese soldiers who were ordered to hide in the international security zone will leave the city before noon tomorrow and accept the identification of the imperial army? Otherwise, they will be killed without any hesitation?"
"This is not OK!" Matsui Ishigen shook his head, "The Chinese soldiers are not stupid, how could they take the initiative to leave the city?"
Changyong's face turned red immediately after hearing this. In fact, he thought this idea was very stupid.
After pondering for a while, Matsui Ishien continued: "Since that's the case, let's ignore the international security zone. Although Zhong Yi is trying to reawaken the fighting spirit of these Chinese soldiers through the radio, it doesn't seem so easy to do it! However, Zhong Yi's troops will persist until tomorrow evening at most, so there will be no major problems."
After hearing what Matsui Ishione said, Tsukada Oku and others nodded silently.
...
At the same time, the 6th Division Command outside the China Gate.
Shigeda Shigetoshi, the chief of staff of the 6th Division, also made the same judgment as Matsui Ishien.
Shigeda Shigeto said to Shiro Inaba, the commander of the 6th Division, "The division commander, the 10th Regiment of the Independent Heavy Artillery and the 5th Battalion of the Independent Siege Heavy Artillery, are rushing to Nanjing overnight. Among them, the 5th Battalion of the Independent Siege Heavy Artillery has passed Jurong, and will definitely arrive until noon tomorrow at noon!"
After a pause, Chongtian Chongde said again: "By then, the end of the 367th Regiment will be here!"
"Is that true?" Inaba Shiro was still a little worried and frowned and said, "Kun Shigeta, are you sure the 5th Battalion of the Independent Siege Heavy Artillery can completely destroy the fortifications at Xinjiekou?"
"Hayi!" Chongda Shigedon said first, "The 150mm caliber cannons equipped by the 5th Battalion of the Independent Siege Heavy Artillery cannons, even the fortifications of the fortifications in the fortifications, let alone several buildings with reinforced concrete structures? Division commander, don't worry, as long as the 5th Battalion of the Independent Siege Heavy Artillery arrives, Zhong Yi's 367th Regiment will be dead!"
"Yo Xi!" Inaba Shiro nodded happily, thought for a while and then specifically reminded him, "Hideta Jun, tell Sakai Jun that you must protect the 5th Battalion of the Independent Siege Heavy Artillery, and never let Zhong Yi take advantage of the loopholes! Zhong Yi is very cunning, don't accidentally let the 5th Battalion of the Independent Siege Heavy Artillery be hit by the evil! "
"Hayi!" Shigeda Shigetoku said, "I will remind Sakai to be vigilant."
"Yo Xi!" Inaba Shiro nodded again and said, "In addition, tell Sakai and Okamoto again that I am basically satisfied with the performance of Kumamoto United. I hope they can continue to maintain it tomorrow! As for His Highness the Prince and the Base Camp, they don't have to worry about it, everything is supported by me, the division commander!"
