Chapter 257: Dove Yan's Counterattack
Chairman Jiang’s focus is not here.
No matter how beautiful a battle is, what kind of birds are used for? The key is to last!
Chairman Jiang asked: "Jiansheng, you can analyze the next battle trend."
"The next battle trend?" Bai Chongxi said with a look of embarrassment, "Committee, this is really hard to tell, because there is no way to contact the 367th Regiment directly. Bei Zhi did not know the specific situation in Nanjing."
Chen Bulei, who came with him, took the opportunity to give Zhong Yi an eye drop and asked Qian Dajun: "Mu Yin, your servant room still can't contact the 367th Regiment?"
Qian Dajun shook his head and said, "No, I haven't been in contact so far."
Chairman Jiang frowned and said to Bai Chongxi: "Just say whatever you want."
"Okay, that's how many points you know about Beizhi's situation." Bai Chongxi said, "First of all, we can be sure of one thing, that is, just now, another defeated army of at least a thousand people had joined the 367th Regiment. With this national army joining, Beizhi believes that Xinjiekou will definitely not be lost at least tomorrow!"
Chairman Jiang nodded and said, "So, what about the day after tomorrow?"
Bai Chongxi sighed and replied: "It depends on whether more defeated soldiers will join the 367th Regiment tomorrow."
Chen Cheng said: "That is to say, if there are no more defeated soldiers joining the 367th Regiment, the 367th Regiment will last for one more day at most?"
"I'm afraid it's!" Bai Chongxi said, "The 367th Regiment has 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 no source of troops! If the replenishment of the defeated troops in the safe area is not available, the Xinjiekou formation will definitely be lost at noon the day after tomorrow!"
Chairman Jiang said: "Tomorrow cannot repeat today's miracle?"
"Impossible, council." Bai Chongxi said, "For the same mistake, no matter how stupid the Japanese are, they will never make twice in a row! If nothing unexpected happens, tomorrow will be the final battle of the 367th Regiment!"
Chairman Jiang's face collapsed again.
...
At the same time, the 10th Army Command of Chunhua Town.
"Hayi, this Zhong Yi is very cunning!" Inaba Shiro paused his head and said, "But don't worry, no matter how cunning Zhong Yi is, the 367th regiment will never last tomorrow!"
"Is that true?" Asakamiya Hirohiko said coldly, "Aoba Jun, are you sure?"
"Hayi!" Inaba Shiro paused again and said, "Although the 6th Division suffered a great loss in the attack this evening, he also found out the exact strength of the 367th Regiment. So far, there are at most 500 left in the 367th Regiment!"
"Not right?" Asakagumiya Hirohiko said, "Are you not more than two thousand more defeated soldiers running out of the safe area and crossing Zhongshan Road and entering the defense area of the 367th Regiment?"
"Hayi, this is indeed happening." Inaba Shiro said, "But even so, it doesn't matter!"
After a pause, Inaba Shiro continued: "The reason why the 6th Division failed today is not because of how powerful the 367th Regiment is, but because we have made mistakes ourselves, but tomorrow, we cannot make the same low-level mistakes again. The 367th Regiment and Zhong Yi have no choice but to take advantage of it, so we can only destroy the entire army!"
"Yo Xi!" Asakagumi Kuchihiko said happily, "Mr. Inaba, you don't have to worry about the base camp and the royal family. I will take care of everything for you, but tomorrow, you must take down Xinjiekou and give Zhong Yi's head to the Imperial Army's Japanese-Sealing Flag Sacrifice Flag!"
"Hayi!" Inaba Shiro suddenly paused his head and said again, "However, Your Highness, the 6th Field Artillery Regiment, and the 10th Field Heavy Artillery Regiment, which is in concert, have no shells."
"Don't worry about this." Asakagumiya Hirohiko waved his hand, "I have already coordinated with the Shanghai condemnation army. A batch of shells will be delivered before dawn tomorrow!"
"Hayi!" Inaba Shiro paused his head again and said loudly, "Please rest assured that tomorrow, our 6th Division will definitely take the Xinjiekou position and take Zhong Yi's head to sacrifice the flag!"
"Yo Xi!" Asakagumiya Hirohiko nodded happily and said, "Go."
"Hayi!" Inaba Shiro paused his head for the third time, then left with a saber.
Watching Shiro Inaba's figure go away, the Chief of Staff of the 10th Army Yamada Tetsujiro said: "Your Highness, I'm afraid you have to keep a close eye on the Chinese soldiers in the safe area. You can no longer let them rush into the defense zone of the 367th Regiment, otherwise, the 367th Regiment will be able to continuously obtain replenishment from the safe area. It will be greatly difficult for the Imperial Army to completely annihilate the 367th Regiment!"
"You still need to say this?" Asakagumi Kuchihiko said angrily, "The key to asking is that the Imperial Army cannot take excessive actions against the Chinese soldiers hiding in the safe area for the time being, otherwise it will cause the Chinese soldiers to rebound! Even if some of the Chinese soldiers can be solved, the remaining Chinese soldiers will definitely join the 367th Regiment immediately, and the situation will be even more difficult!"
Yamada Tetsujiro said: "You can not take extreme actions, but you must take care of these Chinese soldiers!"
"What do you mean?" Asakamiya Hirohiko said in his heart, "Send troops into the safe zone to take care of the various refugee camps with Chinese soldiers?"
Yamada Tetsujiro said: "Your Highness, I'm afraid this is the only way!"
"No." Asakamiya Hirahiko was very stubborn on some issues, but when it came to issues involving Western countries, especially Germany, he seemed very hesitant. He immediately shook his head and said, "If you really send troops into the safe zone, it is equivalent to no longer recognizing the legality of the safe zone, which will cause international criticism! It will damage the image of the Imperial Army!"
My Prince, what else should I care about international criticism at this time? The image of the Imperial Army? Victory is the first priority!
But in this case, Yamada Tetsujiro finally dared not say it. He only dared to say: "Your Highness, then you can only adopt a compromise plan, requiring the boundary of the safety zone to retreat two hundred meters westward. In this way, the Imperial Army can occupy the block west of Zhongshan Road and isolate the safety zone from the defense zone of the 367th Regiment! The defeated soldiers in the safety zone can no longer enter the defense zone of the 367th Regiment!"
"Yo Xi, this idea is good!" Asakamiya Hirohiko nodded happily and said, "I'll call the German Embassy now!"
Yamada Tetsujiro hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Your Highness, after these two days of fierce battle, the 6th Division is exhausted and may not be able to fight again. Why not evacuate from the city first and rest and be attacked by the 114th Division?"
"No!" Asakamiya Hirohiko refused without hesitation and said decisively, "The glory of completely capturing Nanjing must belong to, and can only belong to Kumamoto's United!"
"Hayi!" Yamada Tetsujiro paused his head suddenly and stopped saying anything.
Chapter completed!
