Chapter 210 Don't Intervene
Southeast Nanjing, Chunhua Town.
This morning, the headquarters of the 10th Japanese Army had moved forward to Chunhua Town.
At this moment, Asakamiya Hirohiko, the commander of the 10th Army of the Japanese, was reading the battle report with a gloomy face.
As he looked, Asakagumiya Hirohiko's anger came up, turned his head and shouted, "Yamada-kun?"
The Chief of Staff of the 10th Army, Yamada Tejiro, walked in and shouted heavily and said, "Your Highness!"
Asakamiya Hirohiko said in a deep voice: "Have you sent us the war report from the Shanghai condemnation army?"
"Hayi, I've given it." Yamada Tetsujiro said with a headshot, "I'm about to report to Your Highness!"
"Soga!" Asakamiya Hirohiko gritted her teeth, "Then Yamada, please tell me, when the Kumamoto United fought with the Chinese army at Xinjiekou, what were the 9th Division and the 16th Division's troops doing?"
Kumamoto United attacked all day today, but still failed to take down Xinjiekou. This made Asaka Miyaki Hikari very angry, and also made him feel embarrassed!
What made Asakamiya Hikari feel embarrassed was that Kumamoto United performed poorly.
Asakamiya Hirohiko really didn't expect that the head unit of the 6th Division, the Kumamoto United, which has always been known for its bravery and good combat, would become like this now!
Asakamiya Hikari even seriously suspected that this was really Kumamoto United?
The black skin and bright red blooded Satsuma warriors have all become like this?
What made Asakamiya Hirohiko feel angry was the 9th and 16th Division that actually stood by and watched!
Yoshizuru Ryosuke and Nakajima Ashigo, the two old foxes, watched the Kumamoto United be destroyed at Xinjiekou, and they refused to support each other from Zhongshan East Road and Zhongshan North Road!
Asakamiya Hatohiko could even guess what Yoshisu Ryosuke and Nakajima Atsugo were thinking because he gave the glory of "the first unit that broke through Nanjing" to the 6th Division, and he was filled with resentment!
Now I am deliberately embarrassing him!
So, Asakamiya Hirohiko really wanted to know what these two old foxes would say in the battle report?
"Hayi!" Yamada Tetsujiro paused and said, "The 9th Division and the 16th Division report said that they were sweeping away the remaining enemies in the southeast and northwest areas of Nanjing City."
"Sweep away the remaining enemies?" Asakamiya Hirohiko said angrily, "I think I'm robbing, right?"
This is another reason why Asakamiya Hirohiko was angry, because when the Kumamoto Regiment was fighting hard in Xinjiekou, the 9th and 16th Division, which were sent by Shanghai to rob the 9th and 16th Divisions in Nanjing! That is to say, most of the benefits of Nanjing at this time have been left to the 9th Division and the 16th Division!
This is what Chinese people often say, is it a wedding dress for others?
"Hayi!" Yamada Tetsujiro paused again and said, "The 9th Division and the 16th Division are really embarrassing!"
"Baga!" Asakamiya Hirohiko cursed angrily, and then said, "Yamada Jun, call the Shanghai Condemnation Army Command. Since the Kanazawa United and the Nara United like to sweep away the remaining enemies, tomorrow, let them continue sweep away the remaining enemies in China. The 367th Regiment at Xinjiekou will not need them to intervene!"
After a pause, Asakamiya Hirohiko said again: "Call Inaba Shiro again and ask him to transfer another infantry corps into Nanjing City. Before noon tomorrow, the 367th Regiment at Xinjiekou must be cleared!"
"Hayi!" Yamada Tetsujiro stopped his head.
...
At the same time, Matsui Ishigen's Shanghai Condemnation Army Command has also moved forward to Tanghua Town.
In the tent, Matsui Ishione Masato, Tsukada Oshi, Iinuma Guard, and Muto Akira, discussing the battle that took place at Shinjiekou today.
Tsukada Oshi said: "Your Excellency, it seems that the combat effectiveness of Kumamoto United is not as strong as the legendary one!"
"No, no, no, Tsukada Jun, you are wrong. The combat effectiveness of the Kumamoto United is still very strong!" Matsui Ishigen waved his hand and said, "The reason why the Battle of Xinjiekou is like this is not because the Kumamoto United team is not strong enough, but because Zhong Yi's 367th Regiment's combat effectiveness is stronger!"
Muto Akira nodded and said, "What the General said is very true. The 367th Regiment has strong combat power and is unquestionable!"
Iinuma continued: "There is another important factor, that is, this is a street fighting. Zhong Yi's 367th Regiment guarded several solid reinforced concrete buildings in advance, which put the Kumamoto wing as the attacking party in a very unfavorable situation, because due to the terrain, the Kumamoto wing could not exert its advantage in distributing troops and firepower!"
"The main reason is the lack of heavy artillery." Tsukada Oku said, "If heavy artillery enters the city, the reinforced concrete buildings occupied by Zhong Yi's 367th Regiment are not enough to serve as a guarantee for persistence!"
Muto nodded and said, "Anotherwise, although Zhong Yi's 367th Regiment defended Xinjiekou and caused great casualties to the Kumamoto United, his own casualties were also very large! Conservatively estimated that after a fierce battle in one day, the 367th Regiment reduced at least 800 people, or even more than 1,000 people!"
After pausing, Muto Akira said again: "According to information, Zhong Yi's 367th Regiment had only more than 2,000 people in total before entering Nanjing. That is to say, it was just the first day, and the 367th Regiment had lost nearly half of its troops!"
"Soga." Iinuma Mori said happily, "In other words, the 367th Regiment can last for one more day at most!"
At this time, Matsui Ishione suddenly asked: "By the way, what are the Kanazawa United and Nara United doing? Why didn't the Kumamoto United attack on Shinjikou with the attack?"
Hearing this, the few people present closed their mouths.
Only Tsukadatsu coughed lightly, and said, "General, although most of the Chinese defenders in Nanjing have put down their weapons and hid in the international security zone, a considerable number of them are still hidden in various zones and trying to resist. The Kanazawa United and the Nara United have been sweeping away the remaining Chinese enemies scattered everywhere in one day!"
Matsui Ishione groaned and said, "I think I'm robbing the house."
Tsukada Ota no longer said anything, as this was an open secret.
Matsui Ishiren also had no intention of exploring it. Nanjing has been captured. Are the officers and soldiers still not allowed to relax? Throughout history, shouldn’t there be too many such things?
At that moment, Matsui Ishien said again: "Tsukada, you can't do this tomorrow."
After pausing, Matsui Ishien continued, "When it dawns tomorrow, I will order Kanazawa United and Nara United to cooperate with Kumamoto United to launch a general attack towards Shinjikou! You can't drag it down any longer!"
Tsukadatsu shook his head and said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid your Highness will not agree."
"Why did His Highness Nani? Hirohiko refuse?" Matsui Ishione frowned.
