In the Imperial Palace in Tokyo.

Hirohito also couldn't sleep all night.

Not only did Hirohito not sleep by himself, he also summoned the Army Deputy Head Hideki Tojo to the Imperial Study room to discuss with him the severe situation faced by the Guard Division.

When it comes to Hideki Tojo, we must first talk about the famous Showa Sanyu.

The so-called Showa Miawu refers to Nagata Tetsuyama, Obata Toshiro and Okamura Yoshiji.

The three old devils had a secret meeting in a steam room in Baden-Baden, Germany a week before the assassination of Prime Minister Hara Kanei, Germany. This gathering was also regarded as the beginning of the Japanese Showa warlords, and officially kicked off the official advancement of Japan's official transformation, leaving a strong mark in Japanese history and even in world history.

In fact, there were four young officers participating in the Baden-Baden gathering at that time.

The fourth person is Hideki Tojo, but because of his lack of qualifications, he could only stay at the door to stand guard and was not qualified to participate in the discussions of the three seniors.

But now, Hideki Tojo has obviously walked in front of Sanyuwu.

Because now, Hideki Tojo has not only been in the high position of the deputy chief of the army, but is also extremely trusted by Emperor Hirohito, Hideki Tojo even has an intuition that Shunroku Lu will abdicate due to health reasons and will be able to take over in sequence and become the new Army Minister of the Empire.

"Tojo-kun, what do you think about the Battle of Yiwu?" Hirohito said.

To be honest, Ishihara Kanji's reputation in the military is far greater than that in Hideki Tojo.

But for some reason, Hirohito just doesn't like Ishihara Kanir. Maybe it's because of preconceived ideas. He always feels that people who are good at speaking like Ishihara Kanir are generally not capable. Only those who are taciturn and hardworking like Tojo Hide are the real officials of the empire.

Hideki Tojo paused and said, "About the Battle of Yiwu, the Chief of Staff of the 13th Army, Mitsunobu Usa, has a metaphor. I think it is very vivid, and Your Majesty may as well listen."

"Is that true?" Hirohito said, "Tojo-kun, please say."

"Hai." Tojo Hideki paused again and said, "Usa Mikun said that if the Chinese condemnation army was compared to a tiger, then the Guard Division was the sharpest fang in the tiger's mouth. Zhong Yi mobilized two armies to encircle and annihilate the Guard Division in Yiwu, which was like pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth!"

"Tiger mouth pulls teeth?" Hirohito nodded, "This metaphor is indeed very appropriate."

Hideki Tojo said: "The metaphor is very appropriate, but Zhong Yi's move is by no means a wise move, because around Yiwu, not far from the Guard Division, there are the 22nd Division, the 5th Division, the 15th Division, the 17th Division and the Independent Mixed 11th Brigade. The four divisions have another mixed brigade. The closest one to the Guard Division is even less than fifty kilometers, and the farthest one is only one hundred kilometers!"

"So what?" Hirohito said thoughtfully.

Tojo Hideki said: "This means that once the Chinese army cannot solve the Guard Division in a short period of time, once the situation falls into a stalemate, another mixed brigade of the four divisions of the 13th Army will arrive at the battlefield. At that time, the situation will evolve into a decisive battle between the main force of the China Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone and the 13th Army!"

Hirohito nodded and said, "If the situation becomes a decisive battle, is the 13th Army confident?"

"Of course I'm sure." Hideki Tojo paused and said, "Before the Second Battle of Zhejiang and Fujian, the General Staff of the 13th Army sent a detailed report to the Army Department, and conducted a careful and detailed calculation of the troops, materials and war mobilization capabilities of both sides. The result is that if the decisive battle is launched, the 13th Army will win!"

Speaking of this, Hideki Tojo said firmly: "So, this time the Chinese army will pay a heavy price to pull out their teeth. The hands that reached into the tiger's mouth, namely the 41st Army and the 10th Army, will be bitten off by the tiger's tiger in one bite and swallowed into their stomachs!"

...

Quzhou Hu Town, the head of the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone.

Zhong Yi has woken up and returned to the war room.

Faced with Yang Bufei's doubts, Zhong Yi said lightly: "Is that so? Chief of Staff Yang really thought that my tiger mouth was too risky to pull out my teeth this time? As a result, not only could I not break off my tiger teeth, but would hurt my hands?"

"Isn't the situation obvious at the moment?" Yang Hufei frowned and said, "In a short period of time, it is impossible for our army to solve the Guard Division, but the Japanese 22nd Division can arrive at as fast as half a day. Then the 5th Division and the independent mixed 11th Brigade can also arrive. The 15th Division, the farthest distance, and the 17th Division can also arrive tomorrow. By that time, the situation will become a decisive battle between the two sides!"

After pausing, Yang Bufei continued, "Captain Zhong wouldn't think that the 13th Army of the Japanese army in the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone alone, and the Zhejiang Provincial Anti-Enemy Self-Defense Corps, could defeat the 13th Army of the Japanese army in the frontal decisive battle?"

"No, no, no, of course I wouldn't be so arrogant that I would think that the two main armies in the Zhejiang-Fu War Zone and the Zhejiang Provincial Anti-Enemy Self-Defense Corps can defeat the 13th Army in a head-on decisive battle." Zhong Yi waved his hand and then said, "But I will not give the Japanese a chance to fight the decisive battle at all!"

He paused and said, "We will definitely be able to eat the Guard Division before the main force of the 13th Army of the Japanese arrived."

"Oh, is that?" Yang Bufei smiled and said, "Then I have to wait and see. I want to see how the 41st Army and the 10th Army took the Guard Division before the main force of the Japanese army arrived!"

"Chief Yang, you won't be disappointed." Zhong Yi smiled slightly and shouted, "Adminton Zhang!"

Master Zhang took a step forward and responded loudly: "Yes!"

Zhong Yi asked again: "How is the situation on the Rong 8th Division?"

Zhang Shiliang replied: "The Japanese attack has never stopped, but the Rong 8th Division reported that it can still persist."

"Very good." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "Tele to Rong 8th Division, be sure to persevere until tomorrow afternoon!"

"Yes!" Zhang Shiliang quickly took out his notebook and pen, and wrote it down with no harshness, because he knew that Zhong Yi must have many orders behind him.

A good memory is not as good as a bad pen.

Sure enough, Zhong Yi asked again: "Where are the Rong 1st Division and Rong 2nd Division?"

Zhang Shiliang said without hesitation: "The Rong 1 Division had a dangerous situation because of its long and wide defense. However, the division commander Zhu Liangcheng personally organized a counterattack to regain the once-lost mountain. Now it has stabilized the situation again. There has been no problem with the Rong 2 Division and has repelled more than ten consecutive attacks of the Japanese army."

"Okay." Zhong Yi nodded, "Tele to Rong 1st Division and Rong 2nd Division, hold on for another two and a half hours!"

After pausing, Zhong Yi asked again: "How much fuel is left in the 1st Flight Brigade of the 1st Aviation Division, and how many fighter jets can be deployed?"

"The 1st Aviation Division reported that it can dispatch about 300 more aircraft!"

"Leave fifty oil reserves left, and use up the rest for me tomorrow morning. There are also aviation bombs. Don't leave any one for me. It must be blown up so that the Guards Division can't even open their eyes!"

"Adminton Zhang, where are the divisions of the 10th Army now?"

"Except for the 16th Division, which has arrived at the pre-determined location, the rest of the divisions have not arrived yet."
