"Master, according to the situation, the closer to the Yangtze River, the more severe the disaster will be." Yang Yang frowned. Today he helped Zhou Weiguo sort out the telegrams. They were basically telegrams from underground workers of the Communist Party in various places. Many of them were narrated.
Zhou Weiguo applied for these telegrams from the organization.
Zhou Weiguo nodded, "Yes, so we have to speed up. The rain should stop almost tomorrow."
"Master, what will happen to the Japanese after the rain stops?"
"What else can I do? Kill me on sight!"
"yes!"
"The little devils invaded our China, and we should not have spared their lives." Zhou Weiguo said coldly, "If it weren't for them, many of our people would still be living peacefully. What's more, how could it be possible with so many blood debts?
Just forget it?"
"yes!"
"By the way, Huzi, you inform Shengli to continue advancing to Wuhan after the rain stops, and then ask Nanchang to prepare rescue supplies and rescue the surrounding areas."
"yes!"
"Let the soldiers from Maqiao Town rush to Anshan Town after the rain stops. After all, we have so much supplies here. Even if they are distributed to the people, they still need people to distribute them."
"yes!"
"Also, after statistics on the damage caused by this disaster were sent out in clear telegrams, calling on all walks of life to donate money and materials to help the people tide over the difficulties. Our Independent Division will set an example and first donate 1 million kilograms of grain and more than 3,000 tons of various materials.
box."
"yes!"
…
Japan, Kyoto.
When Okamura Neiji's message arrived in Japan, it was as if a huge bomb fell under the calm water and exploded into huge waves.
"How is that possible? Mutiny!"
"How could supplies suddenly disappear!"
"What Neiji Okamura means is that the Wuhan defense battle will fail this time?"
"Yalu, he is making fun of the warriors of the empire!"
There was a lot of discussion among the top brass of the Japanese army. Most of them were condemning Okamura Neiji. You have to know how much effort they wasted on the logistics work in order to form these divisions, how much energy and time they spent on forming them, and then
Send them to the battlefield in China. But now, it is too exaggerated to say that the loss is half. If the fight continues like this, how can they bear it?
As for Abe Nobuyuki, his face was extremely ugly. He had reminded everyone of the strength of the Independent Division more than once before. China's current strength was still severely slapped in the face. Although Wuhan did not have any important resources, it was his own words.
It was said that this city should be defended with priority. But now, it seems that within a few days, it suddenly became undefendable.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, what should we do now? What if Your Majesty asks?" A middle-aged man walked up to Nobuyuki Abe and asked anxiously.
Nobuyuki Abe shook his head and said nothing, but the first step now is to stop losses. The best way to stop possible losses is to withdraw troops from Wuhan. As for where to withdraw, careful planning is needed. Indeed,
On the Chinese battlefield, the battle line is too long.
Suddenly, everything in the room became quiet. Nobuyuki Abe knew that Emperor Showa was here.
He raised his head and took a look. Indeed, the emperor's face was also very bad. He did not expect that just a few days later, he received bad news again. It was the navy before, and now it is Wuhan. He had to doubt that on the Chinese battlefield
Are these commanders on board all idiots? Why can't they defeat the Chinese? Although, this time it was affected by a natural disaster. But when Wuhan suffered a disaster, of course the troops attacking Wuhan also suffered a disaster. What made him even more angry
Yes, of the 20 divisions he worked so hard to establish, only half of them are left now. Many of the soldiers among them died not on the battlefield, but at the gunpoint of their own people.
"Let's talk about the current situation." The emperor spoke, and everyone was silent for a while.
Nobuyuki Abe took a deep breath, then stood up and said, "Your Majesty, there is no chance of success in this Wuhan defense battle."
The emperor did not speak, but stared straight at Nobuyuki Abe.
"The 10 divisions used as surprise troops have basically lost their combat effectiveness. In addition, coupled with the floods along the Yangtze River in China, I recommend that the troops be withdrawn in time. The troops should be withdrawn some distance eastward and away from the disaster area." Nobuyuki Abe continued, "In order not to continue
Lose the next troops."
As soon as Abe Nobuyuki finished speaking, the whole room seemed to have been tapped on the mute acupuncture points and was silent for a long time.
And Shun Takeshita stood among them, sighing in his heart. More than 100,000 people have been lost, and hundreds of thousands of families have been broken. If this continues, Japan's social structure will change. By then, there will be too many women and too many men.
If it was too small, it would be very dangerous, so he stood up and said, "I second my opinion."
The emperor felt a little unhappy when he saw that Jun Takeshita seconded the proposal.
"Your Majesty, for the holy war, the empire has dispatched more than 2 million soldiers to the battlefield in China. Of these more than 2 million soldiers, hundreds of thousands and close to one million soldiers will never return to the country. If this continues, the number of men in the empire will increase.
The fewer women there are, the more women there will be. Changes in the social structure will create unstable factors. Moreover, the empire really has no advantage on the Chinese battlefield and should stop its losses in time. And the best way to stop losses is to withdraw its troops."
Takeshita Shun's words undoubtedly hit a painful point.
Yes, Japan has a small population. It has developed for so many years before it has a current population of 70 million. And if these 70 million people continue like this, the population of the Japanese Empire will continue to decrease. This is a very scary thing.
.
"But there is always a winner or loser in the war!"
"Yes, the empire should not give up its interests in China." Yamamoto Isoroku stood up and said loudly. Although their navy suffered a loss at the hands of the independent division, it does not mean that they cannot defeat the navy of the independent division.
Coupled with his character, Yamamoto Isoroku would naturally not think that they could not defeat the independent division.
"Your Majesty, you must know that the level of industrialization in China is not at all comparable to that of the Empire. What's more, we are in the era of hot weapons. Even a weak-handed person can kill people with a gun."
"Your Majesty, I second your proposal."
Yamamoto Isoroku's words undoubtedly won the approval of many people. Although Yamamoto Isoroku is still just a small naval general today.
The emperor was very pleased that under such a disadvantage, there were still soldiers willing to open up territories for him. He looked at Yamamoto Isoroku carefully and nodded with satisfaction. At this time, Takeshita Jun had also changed in his eyes.
It's dispensable. What he needs is a warrior who can rush forward and expand territory for him, not someone who only talks nice words.
Takeshita Jun, on the other hand, looked quite helpless in the crowd. Yamamoto Isoroku's words stirred up the greed of this group of people, and Takeshita Jun felt very tired.
