Meanwhile, in the Imperial Palace in Tokyo.

Hirohito once again sent four guards to call the Imperial Officer, the Army Chief of Staff, the Army Chief of Staff, the Army Deputy Chief of Staff, the Army Chief of Staff, and the Operations Department Minister Shimomura Taki to the Imperial Office.

Hirohito never paid attention to a specific battle on the front line like he is now.

In this regard, Tada Jun and Shimomura Tatsumiya were both happy and worried. What was happy was that His Majesty the Emperor attached so much importance to the battle on the front line, which showed that the Army's weight was increasing, but at the same time, they were worried that the royal family would interfere too much in specific matters!

For example, forcibly planting Asakamiya Hirohiko to the front line as the commander of the 10th Army, this is a very bad sign.

Once this trend spreads completely, will the commanders at all levels on the front line become children of the royal family?

It would be fine if they were all royal children like Hitokuramiya Nianhiko, but most royal children were fools like Hitohiko Asakamiya!

So, Tada Jun and Shimomura were sitting in the Imperial Study room, feeling nervous!

Hirohito's focus is not on this, he is actually only concerned about the same thing, the royal face!

If it weren't for the "Glorious Ten-Time Brigade" that had just been granted the order, Zhong Yi would have been completely wiped out, and Hirohito would have been too lazy to interfere in the war on the front line. Wouldn't the loss of several infantry brigades be serious? Would the empire be destroyed because of this?

Hirohito asked Shimura Taki: "Shimura, tell me the truth, when will you be able to take Xinjiekou?"

Shimura Ding paused and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, the 6th Division will definitely be able to take Xinjiekou at the latest tomorrow evening!"

"Can you win it tomorrow evening?" Hirohito was excited and asked again, "Shimura, are you sure?"

"Hayi!" Shimura Ding said, "Your Majesty has nothing to do. The 5th Battalion of the Independent Siege Heavy Artillery can drive to Nanjing before noon tomorrow. The 8 150mm caliber cannons equipped by the brigade can easily destroy all buildings at Xinjiekou, including those reinforced concrete buildings!"

After a pause, Takashi Shimura said again: "Without these reinforced concrete buildings as barriers, Zhong Yi's 367th Regiment is no match for the Imperial Army at all. To wipe out them is just a matter of turning things around."

"Yo Xi!" Hirohito said happily, "Shitamura, let NHK broadcasting station publicly announce this news!"

"Nani?" Shimomura Tatsuya said in a daze, "Your Majesty, are you telling the whole world this news?"

The other two of the Anyuan Miyagi, Sugiyama Moto and Tada Jung also looked at each other, and doing so would be a bit timid.

"What? Is there a problem?" Hirohito's face darkened and he said coldly, "Didn't you just say that the sanction of Zhong Yi's 367th Regiment is just a matter of turning over? Since it is a matter of turning over, why can't we tell the world in advance? I want to tell the Chinese government through this statement that I will definitely win in Nanjing!"

"Hayi!" Shimomura paused heavily, and did not dare to say anything anymore.

...

Camping in Wuhan, Wuhan.

When Chairman Jiang walked into the combat hall with a civilized crutch, several senior generals and a dozen senior leaders in the hall were sitting around a radio listening to the radio.

Seeing Chairman Jiang come in, He Yingqin, Bai Chongxi, Chen Cheng and others quickly stood up to salute.

Chairman Jiang waved his hand and asked casually: "Jingzhi, Jiansheng, and Cixiu, what are you listening to? Is it the Voice of Nanjing from China Radio Station?"

He Yingqin nodded and replied: "Yes, council, we are listening to the voice of Nanjing."

"Voice of Nanjing, this program is good!" Chairman Jiang stomped the ground with a crutch and said, "But now, I suggest you listen to the Japanese NHK broadcast first!"

"Japanese NHK's broadcast?" He Yingqin and others looked at each other.

Chairman Jiang stopped saying anything and signaled Qian Dajun who was accompanying him to change the radio channel.

Soon, an inspiring voice came from the radio, speaking in Japanese!

There were several major generals who had studied in Japan and could speak fluent Japanese and began to translate on the spot.

"... Our great Japanese Empire is in a prosperous state, and the great Japanese Imperial Army is invincible. The 367th Regiment of the Chinese Navy attempts to compete with the power of a group of emperors, which is like a mantis arm blocking a chariot! It is only possible to put down his weapons before noon tomorrow and surrender, which can still protect his life. The Imperial Army must keep its promise without invasion. Otherwise, the Imperial Army will fire thousands of cannons together, and Xinjiekou will be turned into ashes! The remnants of the 367th Regiment will also be crushed to pieces!"

"In addition, I will tell the Chinese government that the reason why the Imperial Army sent troops to China was not to infringe on the neighbors, but to help friendly countries get rid of the West and realize national independence and freedom. I hope the Chinese government will recognize the situation and face the reality! Don't have any luck anymore!"

Hearing this, Xue Yue, who happened to return to Wuhan, said angrily: "Little Japan is so arrogant!"

"But the little Japanese have the qualification to be arrogant!" Chairman Jiang stomped the floor under his feet with a crutch again, and said, "The Kuomintang army is in North China, and East China has lost consecutive battles and lost its territory. He is almost out of stock!"

He Yingqin, Bai Chongxi, Chen Cheng and a group of senior geniuses were present, so they did not dare to say anything easily.

Because the Nanjing Defense War is more sensitive, a discerning person can see at a glance that Chairman Jiang has to bear the main responsibility for the reason why the Nanjing Defense War is now!

But no one dared to say this clearly! Bai Chongxi didn't dare!

Finally, it was Zhong Yi's senior brother, Wen Yingxing, who also graduated from the American Military Academy of West Point, said: "The commission may not necessarily fall, at least it will not fall so quickly."

Chairman Jiang was about to bring the topic to this point, and asked everyone: "Since everyone has said this, let's talk about it. How many days can Zhong Yi's 367th Regiment be able to stay?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Fei, the leader of the combat team, said: "Please, please forgive me for your frankness. Zhong Yi's 367th Regiment will last until tomorrow evening at most. Before tomorrow evening, the Xinjiekou position will definitely be lost, because from the perspective of time, the heavy artillery of the Japanese before tomorrow evening should also arrive in Nanjing!"

After a pause, Liu Fei continued: "Faced with the heavy artillery of the Japanese army, the 367th Regiment may be alive!"

Bai Chongxi, He Yingqin and Chen Cheng nodded when they heard this. They had actually discussed this matter just now, and they all had the same view as Liu Fei. However, due to the mistakes in the previous few judgments, they did not dare to draw conclusions easily this time, so as not to be slapped in the face again. If they were slapped in the face again, it would be very embarrassing.

But Liu Fei had no scruples and said it directly.

Hearing Liu Fei's words, Chairman Jiang's face immediately calmed down.
