Central mall, rooftop rooftop.

As soon as the 367th Regiment started to counterattack, several old Japanese soldiers in the observation post immediately discovered it!

"Baga, here again, damn it is here again!" Inaba Shiro saw the Japanese infantry rushing forward suddenly falling in rows from the sight of the artillery mirror, and he knew that the 367th Regiment had counterattacked again!

"I can't believe it!" Sakai Tokutaro said, "The 367th Regiment can still organize a large-scale counterattack!"

According to the information provided by the secret service, the total strength of the 367th Regiment is only 2,000. Even if many Chinese defeated soldiers have defected from the safe area to the 367th Regiment in the past two days, the total number will not exceed 3,000!

But in the past two days of battle, the 367th Regiment was killed at least two thousand!

This means that there are less than a thousand people left in the 367th Regiment!

With only one thousand people left, Zhong Yi can launch a large-scale counterattack?

Are these Chinese soldiers really not afraid of death? How is this possible?

"Sodesne!" Kazushima Manta nodded and said, "Also, the counterattack of the 367th Regiment was as fierce as ever, and Kumamoto and Kagoshima United could not stop it at all!"

Hearing this sentence, Shiro Inaba's face immediately collapsed.

Because Kumamoto United and Kagoshima United really can't resist it!

Under the fierce rush of the 367th Regiment's counterattack force, the infantry of the two regiments dissipated and melted instantly and collapsed!

"Bagayaru!" Inaba Shiro said with a dark face, "How could this happen?"

Shiro Inaba really couldn't figure it out. Shouldn't it be the Chinese soldiers who were about to collapse at one touch? Why did the situation reverse when we arrived in Nanjing? It turned into the imperial army that was about to collapse at one touch?

Moreover, it was Kumamoto's division that was about to collapse!

The Kumamoto Division is the top main force among the seventeen regular divisions of the Imperial Army!

Niu Daoman said: "Secretary Commander, it's not surprising that this situation has happened."

停顿了一下,牛岛满又接着说道:“原因有三,其一,钟毅此人确实很厉害,尤其善于鼓动人心,什么溃兵只要到了他手下,转眼就能成为精锐!其二,支那军属于退无可退,困兽犹斗,六成战斗力却能发挥出十成!其三,皇军实在太疲惫了,从金山卫登陆,这一个多月我们熊本师团始终处于高强度行军以及作战之中,没有得到哪怕半天时间休整,将士们无论体力还是精力,都已经到达极限了!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Tokutaro Sakai continued: "There is probably another reason, that is, the individual firepower of the Chinese army is far better than that of our division! Although the Imperial Army has chariot troops and heavy artillery units to assist in the war, the heavy artillery units cannot directly participate in street fighting in close combat. The chariot troops have no absolute advantage in facing the artillery of the Chinese army! On the contrary, the powerful individual firepower of the Chinese army can play a role in street fighting!"

The analysis of Utsushima Manta and Sakai Tokutaro is undoubtedly correct.

But after hearing this, Shiro Inaba became even more angry!

"Bagayaru!" Inaba Shiro said angrily, "I don't want to listen to these things. As a result, I only care about the final result!"

After pausing for a moment, Inaba Shiro turned his head and shouted at Shigeto Shigeto, "Shigeon, tell Okamoto and Kanda to immediately organize a third wave of attacks. If it is dark, the Kumamoto United and Kagoshima United still cannot take the Xinjiekou position, so they will prepare to thank His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Hayi!" Chongda Chongde bowed his head heavily and turned around.

Watching Shigeta Shigeto leave, Niushima Man suddenly said: "Teacher Commander, Kumamoto United and Kagoshima United are exhausted and cannot fight again. It is probably useless to attack again!"

Shiro Inaba glanced at Niushima coldly and said in a deep voice: "Kun Niushima, do you mean to give up the attack? Then I will go to His Highness to the prince and commit suicide by septum?"

"The division commander was joking, but Bei Zhi didn't mean that." Niu Daoman shook his head, and then a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Teacher Commander, we probably have no other choice at this point!"

"What do you mean?" Inaba Shiro reacted instantly and said sternly, "Use chemical weapons?"

"Hayi!" Niushima said with a heavy blow, "At this point, I can only rely on chemical weapons!"

"The problem is that the Xinjiekou battlefield is close to the international security zone!" Inaba Shiro said, "If chemical weapons are used in the Xinjiekou battlefield, it may be difficult to hide the suspicion of Western countries!" After pausing, he said, "Also, the Chinese military's radio stations may not ignore it, and will definitely announce this news to the world!"

Niujima Man said: "As long as the imperial army does not admit it, what can the West do to me?"

After pausing, Niu Daoman said in a deep voice: "On the contrary, if Xinjiekou cannot be captured for a long time, it will be very likely that more than 100,000 defeated soldiers hiding in the international security zone will be repeated, and it will be a big trouble at that time! Which of these two is more important? Please be sure to consider it clearly!"

After hearing this, Shiro Inaba was silent for a long time.

...

At the same time, it was at the 10th Army Headquarters of Chunhua Town.

Asakamiya Hirahiko was furious in the war room.

The reason why Asakamiya Hirohito got angry was actually very simple. Just now, Hirohito sent him a telegram in his personal name. There was no reproach on the telegram, but Asakamiya Hirohito could feel that Hirohito's inner dissatisfaction with him, to be precise, was very disappointed with his performance in the battle to capture Nanjing!

This is untolerable for Hikari Asakamiya, who has always been conceited!

But Hirohito is the emperor, and Asakamiya Hirohiko could not expose his anger on Hirohito's head!

Therefore, Asakamiya Hirohiko could only pour out his anger on the Sixth Division!

"Waste, all are waste!" Asakamiya Hirohiko angrily swept all the corner ruler, map, gauge and other tools on the table to the ground, while cursing, "A bunch of waste!"

Yamada Tetsujiro and the staff of the General Staff stood beside him, not daring to say a word.

After a long period of fire, Asakamiya Hirohiko finally calmed down and asked Yamada Tetsujiro: "Yamada, tell me, before dark today, is the Kumamoto division still possible to take Xinjiekou?"

Yamada Tejiro said: "Your Highness, you probably have the only way to do it now!"

When Asakagumiya Hirohiko heard this, he was immediately excited and said anxiously: "Yama Kanta, what's the solution?"

Yamada Tetsujiro said word by word: "Your Highness, I'm afraid you can only use chemical weapons!"
