Four o'clock in the morning is the darkest time before dawn.

Higakurimiya Nianhiko is wearing a rare formal outfit and paces back and forth in front of his command tent. The expression on his face is also unprecedentedly anxious and anxious!

Until now, the 16th and 116th Divisions have not yet delivered good news!

In other words, there are still Chinese troops in Hankou and Hanyang that are resisting desperately!

In other words, it is still unknown whether the Second Army can eventually capture Wuhan!

However, the main force of the Fifth War Zone and the Ninth War Zone are rushing towards them from three directions!

As early as tomorrow evening, oh no, today is September 1st, as early as today, as soon as today, in another fifteen hours, the main forces of China's two major war zones will be able to arrive in Wuhan!

If they still can't take Wuhan down before this, their Second Army will be in trouble!

"Damn it, damn it!" Higakuremiya Nianhiko's expression became more and more anxious. She paced back and forth while starting to curse, "What are they doing with Fujie Etsuki and Mikiyiichiro? Why can't they still take Hankou and Hanyang? Why? Why?!"

Adjutant Mi Igarashi stood beside her and didn't dare to speak, but her heart began to sink.

Because of the expression and behavior of Higashikuiri Miya, he saw a bad sign!

In fact, rumors about the Japanese royal family have been circulating in Japan, saying that frequent close relatives get married, which leads to serious problems in the Japanese royal family's genes. Once severely stimulated, there is a very likely mental problem. To put it bluntly, it is very likely to become mentally ill!

Isn’t the previous emperor just a mental illness?

From Higakuremiya Naihiko's current expression and behavior, Igarashi Mi has seen the signs!

But Igarashi Mi dared not persuade her. God knows whether his persuasion will have a counterproductive effect?

Now, the only thing Igarashimi can do is pray, praying that the 16th Division can conquer Hanyang as soon as possible, and the 116th Division can also conquer Hankou as soon as possible!

Higakurimiya Nianyan paced faster and faster, and the expression on her face became more and more anxious.

Just as Igarashi Mi was worried, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly came from the tent.

Then the curtain was lifted, and Chief of Staff Machijiri Oki's figure had already emerged from the command tent.

Higashinomiya Naihiko immediately stopped, his eyes fell on Machijiri Ryoki, and asked anxiously: "Machijiri, is there any news about the 16th Division and the 116th Division? Is it taken down by Hankou and Hanyang?"

When Machijiri Ryoki heard this, he just shook his head with a calm expression.

"Have not taken it yet?" Higashinomiya Nihiko's face immediately collapsed.

"Hayi!" Machijirikidun said first, "The 16th Division, the 116th Division, reported that their attack was stubbornly resisted by the Chinese army. The progress in the past few hours was very slow, and it could even be said to be no progress!"

After a pause, Machijiri Ryoki said again: "Especially the Chinese army in Hanyang, they used tanks!"

"Nani, tank?" Higashinomiya Naihiko said sternly, "Did the Chinese army use tanks?"

"Hayi, this should be the tank unit that caused the destruction of the 3rd Division!" Machijiri Yoshiki paused for a moment and then said, "But your Highness don't have to worry too much. Although the 16th Division's chariot defense cannons and tanks have been exhausted, you can still organize suicide squads to carry out close-up blasts!"

Higakurimiya Nianhiko frowned and said, "Is it useful to get close to the explosion?"

"It's useful!" Machijiri Ryoki replied, "In the first phase of the Battle of Songhu last year, the Marines stationed in Hongkou used this tactic and successfully destroyed two tank companies of the Chinese army! And just now, the 16th Division reported that they had blown up at least twenty tanks of the Chinese army!"

"Yo Xi, let them continue to explode!" Higashijiu Nihiko was immediately excited and waved his fists and roared, "Hurry up and blow up all the tanks. When there are no tanks, I want to see what the Chinese army can use to resist the attack of the Imperial Army, and what else they can use to resist the attack of the Imperial Army, hum!"

"This..." Machijiri Ryoki wanted to speak but stopped hearing this.

Higakurimiya Nohiko noticed the strangeness of Machijiri and frowned and said, "Machijiri, what?"

"Hayi!" Machijiri Ryoki gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, although the 16th Division in Hanyang was suddenly attacked by the Chinese tanks, the front line is still advancing little by little. On the contrary, the 116th Division in Hankou, although it was not blocked by the Chinese tanks, it was not able to advance in a stubborn manner!"

"Baga!" Higakuragu Nihiko said furiously, "What exactly did the 116th Division?"

"Hayi!" Machijiri Ryoki paused his head again and said in a deep voice, "The 116th Division reported that the Chinese army adopted the tactic of burning both jade and stone, which caused great difficulties for the Imperial Army's attack!"

"The tactic of burning both jade and stones?" said Higakuramiya Nianhiko, "What does it mean?"

Machijiri Haruki said: "This bastard Zhong Yi actually asked his soldiers to rush to the battlefield one by one with unlocked 155mm caliber shells. Every time the Imperial Army launches an attack, a Chinese soldier will inevitably come up with the large caliber shells and detonate the shells, and die with the Imperial Army that was put into the attack!"

"Nani?" Higakuramiya Nianhiko was stunned, "This is actually the case!"

The next second, Higashijiugu Nihiko turned around and left, heading straight towards the camp gate.

Machijiri Ryoki quickly followed and asked anxiously, "Your Highness, where are you going?"

"I'm going to Hankou city!" Higashijiugu Nianyan said angrily, "I want to see this Chinese army's tactics with my own eyes!"

"No, it's too dangerous!" Machijiri Lyoki quickly persuaded, "Although most of Hankou is under the control of the Imperial Army, no one can guarantee that there are no Chinese special forces hiding in the ruins! Your Highness, you are too dangerous to enter the city at this time. You can't go, you can't go!"

"Get out!" Higakurimiya Nianhiko pushed Machijiriya away with one move!

Seeing that he could not stop Higashinomiya Naihiko, Machijiri Ryoki turned around and shouted, "Yamamoto, Yamamoto?!"

Yamamoto Shigeo's figure came out from a tent next to him, and paused and asked, "What are the instructions of the Chief of Staff?"

"Take your special operations team and enter Hankou city!" Machijiri Ryoki said anxiously, "No matter what, you must ensure your highness's personal safety. You must never let any accidents happen to your highness!"

"Hayi!" Yamamoto Shigeo suddenly paused his head and turned around and shouted, "Special War Team, gather!"

The next moment, more than 200 special forces team members rushed out of more than a dozen tents in a swarm.

In just a moment, more than 200 team members completed the assembly, and then under the leadership of Yamamoto Shigeo, they quickly caught up with Higashiki Naihiko Higashiki and protected Higashiki Naihiko Higashiki into Hankou City.
Chapter completed!
