Wang Mingyu feels that the threat of the Japanese poison gas bombs to him has reached a relatively small level. Unless the Japanese army takes risks, the Japanese army should not dare to use biological and chemical weapons restricted by international conventions. The batch of materials intercepted by Li Xianyu is a blow to the Japanese army. At present, the Japanese army is actively dealing with this matter. You must know that they dare not make too much noise when the materials are lost. After all, the things they transported this time are to cover up the poison gas bomb.

The defenders of Tongcheng have been in preparation for war. In addition to the daily training of the 26th Army, the 318th Army is responsible for the defense and maintenance of public order in Tongcheng. The Japanese army has surrounded Tongcheng with 70,000 troops. At first glance, it seems that the Japanese army is going to fight to the death with the 318th Army. However, since the Japanese arrived in Tongcheng, there is no intention to attack. However, the defense level of the 318th Army seems to be one level higher than before. Now the troops on the frontier positions have been equipped with gas masks.

The commander of the 6th Division, Fujita Murata Detachment, the commander of the 9th Division, Yoshikara Ryosuke, the commander of the 13th Division, Miyamoto, was holding their so-called military meeting in one go. The content was self-evident. It is naturally about how to attack Tongcheng. You must know that they have not received any orders to siege the city at all. Except for the 318th Detachment, the other division commanders were severely damaged by the hands of the 318th Army.

The former commander of the Sixth Division, Seokoo, was killed by the 318th Army, and the former commander of the 13th Division, Ogisu Ribing, was killed by the 318th Army. The three commanders of the three divisions were killed. Almost the biggest losses of the Japanese army were made by the 318th Army. The Third Division was the earliest division that was beaten by the 318th Army. Almost the number was not saved. Now their division commander has transformed into the commander-in-chief attacking Tongcheng. It seems a bit ironic.

The Japanese army has held countless meetings in recent days. It is basically arguing about whether to attack Tongcheng or not. As the commander-in-chief, Fujita Jin, has a headache. General Hata Shunji has mobilized two divisions. I don’t know the reason why Fujita Jin has mobilized two divisions for now, but it is impossible to use it to intimidate Tongcheng’s defenders. You must know that Tongcheng is currently basically passive defense. If you want to surround but not attack, even if the 9th Division and the 13th Division are not joined, they can at least be able to surround Tongcheng now.

So now Fujita Jin has to consider the intention of General Shinji Hata. Although General Shinji received a secret telegram, General Shinji Hata Jin was preparing to use poison gas bombs, public opinion is becoming increasingly unfavorable to the empire. It is said that Tongcheng has sent an international reporter team to settle in. If the poison gas bomb is really used at this time, then the empire will be isolated internationally. This influence is definitely something that the base camp does not want to see. If this is the case, then who will become the unlucky one in the end? Is it impossible for General Shinji Hata Jinji to become unlucky?

Fujita Jin sighed secretly. If he really used a poison gas bomb, maybe Kirigaki would take it down, but he would definitely become the person who took the blame in the end. Naturally, this kind of thing would not allow for the sake of the empire or something. It would be okay to coax the soldiers. It would be useless for these generals. If General Hata Shunji really planned to shift the blame to himself, then Fujita Jin would never wait to die.

Miyamoto and others did not know the plan of General Hatatsuki. They had just come here for not long. Although they knew they were facing the 318th Army, they still came over with a stern head, but they were very reluctant to come over in their hearts and said to everyone: General General will mobilize us here, but they don’t attack. This is unpredictable.

Fujita Jin's natural way of Hata Shunroku's idea, but the fewer people know about this kind of thing, the better. Although it is reported outside, only Fujita Jin received this news. The auxiliary division commander Yoshikara also said in confusion: Now that we are siegeing and not attacking, the daily consumption is amazing for the empire. Instead of letting us waste time with the 318th Army, it is better to let us stay on the original battlefield. At least we can still play our role now.

As the commander of the Jin division, Miyamoto's division is naturally incomparable to these two old division commanders. However, Miyamoto also fought with the 318th Army and even Miyamoto seized Jiangyin County from the 318th Army. Although the 318th Army voluntarily gave up Jiangyin County, Miyamoto obviously would not understand it so much. He believed that the 318th Army had already been in desperate situation by himself and Chiaki Shigefuji's troops, which led to their retreat. Otherwise, how could they retreat so quickly?

Miyamoto also said: Although we all know that the 318th Army is not easy to fight, and it can even be said to be difficult to fight, but now we are just confronting them like this. Is it not good for our army? Their purpose is to defend the city, and our purpose is to capture the city, and we must attack early and late attacks. Can we still expect the 318th Army to abandon the city and escape? I think our current task is to plan in detail how to attack Tongcheng, which is guarded by the 318th Army, so that our vision can be broadened. Otherwise, we will negotiate to seize Wuhan.

Hatan Mitsuye is the smallest here, but they are also independently organized, so Hatan Mitsuye still has a say, Hatan Mitsuye said: We have recently heard news that the empire is preparing to attack the Chinese army with chemical weapons. Now the Chinese army is circulating outside. If the Chinese army speaks, it has intercepted a batch of imperial chemical weapons. I don’t know.

Fujita Jin knew that if he wanted to take the blame by himself, he would have to pull them all in. Now that Hata Mitsuya had already spoken, Fujita Jin was naturally happy to tell them that this matter is no longer a secret. All this must not be blamed on him. General Hata Shunji's telegram may have been deciphered by the Chinese army. Anyway, this matter would not hinder him. Fujita Jin said with a solemn expression: Yes, General Hata Shunji wants to try chemical weapons to attack Kiryu, or this may lead to a reduction in our army's casualties.

Miyamoto said disapprovingly: If the 318th Army is so easy to defeat, then I don't mind using such a thing to give them a fatal blow.

Ji Jialiangfu also frowned and said: But the news I received was that it seemed that the Chinese army intercepted a batch of imperial gas bombs. If this was the case, our army would use such weapons. Could it be that the Chinese army could not use it at that time, and it would still be a situation where both sides suffered losses.

Hatan Mitsuyo also said: Yes, these are exactly the questions I want to raise. You must know that if the soldiers of the Empire know that the weapons they produce are being used by the Chinese army to attack them, it will be a huge blow to our army's morale, and our army does not have a large-scale equipment such as gas masks, it will be really difficult to control the situation.

Fujita Jin didn't know the consequences of using poison gas bombs, so he said: Actually, I don't quite agree with the use of such weapons. You should know that these weapons are prohibited in the Geneva Convention and there are a large number of international journalists in Tongcheng. I think they are just waiting for us to use poison gas bombs and provide them with smelling materials.

Everyone was a little silent when they heard Fujita Jin's words. Now there was no news from General Hata Shunji. They could only figure out what Shinji Hata Shunji meant here, but no matter how they were doing, it would not be of much benefit to the Japanese army. This was a question that made them hesitate. They were hesitant whether to use poison gas bombs.

Fujita Jin continued: If the Chinese army really intercepts poison gas bombs, once our army uses poison gas bombs, they will inevitably suffer revenge. The Wuhan battle is ongoing. However, we are a huge variable in the battle in Wuhan. Who can guarantee that using poison gas bombs can completely take down Tongcheng. If using poison gas bombs but not Tongcheng, then congratulations to everyone, we are all direct orderers of the use of poison gas bombs this time. It is very likely that the empire handed over by the scapegoats under public pressure.

Fujita's words changed the faces of everyone present. Fujita's words were not unreasonable, but very reasonable. If that was true, they would naturally make the scapegoat. Could it be that General Shin-Ruo Hata said that his buddy was loyal to him alone? At least in the eyes of these division commanders, this probability is not much greater than the probability of receiving the empire's sudden attack on China.

Yoshika Ryosuke said in a deep voice: Fujita, what do you think we should do now

Fujita said: I think our army now has 70,000 people. For Tongcheng, it is inevitable that even if our army cannot take Tongcheng, at least we can fight for a loss-win situation. At that time, the Empire can still take Tongcheng. I think as a general of the Empire, we must use the weapons in our hands to let the Chinese army know that even if we die in battle, the warriors of the Empire are fearless, and everyone knows that since we fought with the Chinese army, we have encountered very few hard bones, and the 318th Army is unique. I think as long as we solve them, it is worth it. Although I don’t know what you think, my idea is to fight the 318th Army to the end and never retreat. As for using poison gas bombs, I think this seems to be the best method, but in fact it is undoubtedly the worst method for us.

Everyone was in deep thought. They were weighing the pros and cons. If they used poison gas bombs, their final outcome would probably not be much better. If this is the case, it would be better to fight with the Chinese army. Even if they died in battle, they would still be the glory of the empire assassination. Moreover, they also knew that unless the Chinese army attacked and assassinated, they could lead to their accidental death. Otherwise, even if the attack was not good, they could escape without a loss of fate. One was that fate was in the hands of others and the other was in their own hands. These senior Japanese officials were not stupid, so they would naturally choose the latter.

Miyamoto immediately continued Fujita's words and said: I think Fujita's words are very reasonable at least I know that in addition to the Hatan Detachment, our three divisions and the 318th Army have great hatred or can be said to be in a state of undying life. If we want to regain the lost dignity, I think we should have a head-on confrontation with the 318th Army. Miyamoto is obviously showing that his choice is to fight the 318th Army to the death, rather than to risk being sent to the military court in the end using poison gas bombs. If Tongcheng does not have an international press regiment, if the 318th Army did not intercept the poison gas bomb, then Miyamoto may agree. The current situation has forced them to share the same hatred of the enemy.

Yoshika Ryosuke also nodded and said: Miyamoto said it is right. The current situation is quite unfavorable to us. Since the General has transferred us here, I think we cannot let down the original intention of the General. I think we must now ask to attack Tongcheng. As for whether to use the poisonous gas bomb, I think it is necessary to not use it as much as possible. Yoshika Ryosuke's attitude is a bit ambiguous. If you can use it, you will not use it. This sentence shows that he neither opposes nor supports this kind of advancement, attacking and retreating or defending, which made Fujita's brows also frown.

Hirota said very poorly: Since the Fujita Division Commander has analyzed the interests, I think we still use frontal attack as the main means, no one can stop the empire's progress. I think the 318th Army is naturally impossible. I think it is necessary for us to analyze how to attack Tongcheng instead of waiting for the above news all day long. You must know that Tongcheng is a place we must take down. The above news is just hesitant whether to use poison gas bombs.

The top leaders of the Japanese army basically expressed their will. Their choices were almost the same, that is, they did not want to be scapegoats because even if they died in battle, they were still Japanese heroes. If they were sent to the military court after using poison gas bombs, they would not be any heroes, and they might be despised. This kind of business is naturally known how to choose.

General Hata Shunji of the Central Front Army received a telegram from the Tongcheng Front Army. Fujita Jin clearly pointed out their position in the telegram and they also stated that the 318th Army had intercepted Japanese supplies. He hoped that General Hata Shunji could reconsider the plan. When he received the news, he was shocked because he had just received news from the North China Front Army that the train transported from the Northeast was attacked by an unknown armed force.

When Hata Shunji was struggling with who it was, he didn't expect that the 318th Army had already released the wind. It was they who intercepted the supplies. Hata Shunji was shocked and he was very hesitant to use poison gas bombs. Coupled with the tough attitude of Fujita Jin and others, Hata Shunji felt pressure even as the commander-in-chief of the Central China Front Army, Tsubasa Chief of Staff and Hata Shunji seemed to be quite helpless. Originally, this method was produced by Tsubasa Chief of Staff. Now the Chinese Army has intercepted some poison gas bombs, so this matter has to be considered seriously.

Chief of Staff of Tsukata Attack said to General Hata Shunji: General, the news suddenly came out of the 318th Army, which was even faster than the news we received. Obviously, they were probably the ones who intercepted the materials. Although I don’t understand why they could find out our transportation route so quickly and organize people to intercept our materials.

Hata Shunruo nodded and said: This is exactly what I am strange about. You must know that this operation is very secretive, but the Chinese army knew that we should use poison gas bombs at the first time. I have a feeling that I am being peeped at. Not only is the international journalist group coming to Tongcheng, but the Chinese army has also intercepted a batch of poison gas bombs. If we are using poison gas bombs, then we have to bear more things.

Tsukada Attack: Yes, the General's base camp cannot stand up and be responsible for this matter. Now that the troops attacking Tongcheng have to choose their own attack method, we might as well let them attack the poison gas bombs and then put them in the first place. If it is necessary, we are using it. The current Tongcheng is definitely not suitable. Otherwise, the General's may be

Don’t Hata Shunji also know what Tsukada Oku meant. In fact, he had already thought about it and wanted to transfer the conflict to the commanders of the Sixth Division and other divisions. But now those personal spirits have clearly expressed their attitude. If Hata Shunji insists on his own actions at this time, then I’m sorry. In the end, Hata Shunji is likely to be the culprit of this incident.

Is Hata Shunji willing to be this vanguard? Naturally, I don’t want to end up like General Matsui Ishione. If you don’t get it right, you’ll go to the military court if you don’t do it well. You know, he is already very old and is at the peak of his life. I think if this matter ends up like this, who will care about him, a frustrated general?

Hata Shunji's decision was soon over. This time, the method of using the poison gas bomb was directly put on hold by Hata Shunji. Hata Shunji immediately telegraphed the base camp and said that the use of the poison gas bomb was not considered, and the impact on the empire was very bad internationally. The Central China Front Army decided to temporarily stop using the poison gas bomb. The base camp had no clear statement at this time, so it was naturally hard to say anything, although the base camp also hoped that they could take down Tongcheng, no matter what method was used.

After half an hour, Fujita Jin and others also received a telegram from General Hata Shinjiro Hata, the Central Front Army. The telegram clearly stated that the task of the Tongcheng offensive troops was to form the Tongcheng Command, and the 6th Division commander Fujita Jin was appointed as the chief executive of the Tongcheng Command. Their only task was to take down Tongcheng.
