Chapter 225 Siege Artillery

When Zhong Yi was busy launching the national army defeated in the safe zone, the 6th Division or the Japanese in Kumamoto Regiment were quietly waiting for the heavy artillery troops to enter the city!

At the intersection between Zhonghua Road and Zhongzheng Road.

The commander of the 6th Division, Shiro Inaba, was walking back and forth with a knife on his shoulder.

Shigeta Shigeto, chief of staff of the 6th Division, stood beside him, looking anxious.

After Shiro Inaba walked a few steps, Shigeta Shigeto stepped forward and persuaded, "Teacher Commander, the street is too dangerous. You should wait in the armored command car, right?"

Although the guards had controlled the nearby commanding heights, Shigeda Shigeto was still worried.

If a Chinese soldier hides from the surrounding buildings, just one bullet will take away Shiro Inaba's life. If this is the case, this will be the second division commander of the 6th Division who died in China in battle!

Based on this alone, the 6th Division will be nailed to death on the pillar of shame forever.

Shigeda Shigeide didn't want him, the chief of staff, to be remembered in this way.

"It's okay, there will be no danger!" Inaba Shiro was unmoved and insisted on staying on the street and waiting.

Chongta Chongde had no choice but to send more guards to the surrounding commanding heights, and at the same time doubled the security forces at each street intersection!

Then, I kept calling and asking where the heavy artillery was?

It turns out that Inaba Shiro is waiting for the 5th Battalion of the Siege!

Just after seven o'clock in the morning, a major staff officer rushed down from the communication command vehicle and whispered to Shigeta Shige.

Shigeda Shigedon was overjoyed and immediately walked to Shiro Inaba and reported: "The division commander, the 5th Battalion of the Independent Siege of Heavy Artillery has already entered the city through Zhonghua Gate!"

"Yo Xi!" Inaba Shiro nodded happily, "It's finally here!"

At that moment, Inaba Shiro stopped paceing back and forth, and turned to the direction of the Zhonghua Road, waiting quietly.

Chongta Chongde also came over and waited with him. After less than a moment, a convoy rolled over from the south of Zhonghua Road, but seven heavy trucks were pulling seven 150mm caliber cannons! Looking at the thick and long gun barrels pointing straight to the void, the staff of the division could not help but cheer.

"Onboard! The Great Japanese Imperial Army onboard!"

"Onboard! His Majesty the Emperor" onboard!"

"Onboard! Empire onboard!"

...

In Tokyo, Imperial Palace Square.

Early in the morning, no less than a hundred people gathered under the radio tower in front of the right side of the Imperial Palace Square, and as time passed, more people were gathering here from around.

These people were attracted by the radio on the broadcast tower.

Or rather, it was attracted by the programs played by NHK radio stations that were being played on the radio.

"Hello, listeners, I am your old friend, Miko Hibino! Now it is 8 am on December 14, Showa 2012. I am standing on Zhongzheng Road in Nanjing, the capital of China, and am broadcasting the morning show of "The Voice of the Battlefield to you!"

"For the official start of the festival, let's first review the battle situation yesterday!"

"Yesterday, Kumamoto United attacked Xinjiekou for a whole day, but in the end it failed to take the position. Instead, it paid the price of more than 800 people!"

"The battle yesterday was not well fought! The main reason is the lack of artillery!"

"So, here is good news to tell everyone!"

"About an hour ago, the 5th Battalion of the Independent Siege Heavy Artillery, directly commanded by the 10th Army Command, had already entered Nanjing from Zhonghua Gate!"

"At this time, the seven 150mm caliber cannons of the 5th Battalion of the Independent Siege Heavy Artillery have been deployed on Zhongzheng Road, Daquan Lane, Zhongshan East Road and Zhongshan South Road respectively! The artillery has already taken their place! Just wait for the orders from above to launch a devastating attack on the opposite building!"

"These 7 150mm caliber cannons are specially used to destroy enemy fortifications!"

"The order is given! The commander of the 6th Division, Lord Shiro Inaba, has issued an attack order!"

"The artillery is on fire! The seven cannons of the 5th Battalion of the Independent Heavy Artillery have been on fire! Have you heard the sound of artillery?"

"The sound of the 150mm caliber cannon is not as huge as imagined, and it is even a bit dull, but its destructive power is unparalleled!"

"As far as friends, you can't see it, but I can see it very clearly!"

"The building directly in front of me, the Bank of China building guarded by the 367th Regiment, the building that Kumamoto United attacked the building that had not been able to capture for the whole day yesterday, but at this moment, it no longer exists!"

"Just one shot! Just one shot! The Bank of China Building has collapsed!"

"I really, I really can't describe the mood at this moment in words, and I really can't describe the spectacular scene I just saw!"

"That building is like a piece of paper in front of heavy artillery!"

"Just one after another, it was torn apart like a piece of paper!"

Speaking of this, Miko Hibino is no longer explaining, but is roaring!

Because of excitement, Miko Hibino's voice began to change as she roared, and she sounded like a crazy woman!

Influenced by Miko Hibino's emotions during the broadcast, the Japanese people gathered in the Imperial Palace Square began to cheer in vain.

"The Great Japanese Imperial Army, on-board!"

"The Great Japanese Empire, onboard!"

"His Majesty the Emperor...on-board!"

...

From Hirohito's study, you can not only hear the huge sound from the Imperial Palace Square, but also see the crowds of people gathering together through the window.

Hirohito walked to the window with a wine cup and looked at the crowd in the square for a long time.

Tada Jun followed him and looked at the cheering crowd in the square, looking gloomy.

After a while, Hirohito raised his wine cup and drank the sake, and then said, "Tada, I was worried that it would be a bit risky to start a live broadcast on the Nanjing battlefield and present every move on the battlefield under the eyes of the entire empire, because once the war is not going well, it may hurt the morale of the army."

"Hayi!" Tada Jun said with a head down, "Actually, I am also worried."

"Haha." Hirohito smiled slightly and said, "But judging from the current effect, even if there is a small failure on the front line battlefield, it will not have a negative impact on the entire empire! And once progress is made, the encouragement of the entire empire is immeasurable! For example, now, if only a building is destroyed, the people are already happy to celebrate the festival!"

"Hayi!" Tada Shun said, "It seems that this move is the right one!"

"It's not just the right way? It's just so right!" Hirohito took the wine pot from the guards, poured the wine pot for Tada Jun himself, and then raised the pot and said, "Tada Jun, history will remember your merit!"
