Finally, Yamamoto Isoroku stated what he understood about the situation, and successfully changed the emperor's view. Moreover, Yamamoto Isoroku also came up with a plan. The naval force would go upstream from the Yangtze River to support Wuhan, and could transport goods along the way.
Some supplies can solve the urgent needs of the Wuhan defenders.
When the emperor heard this, he was very satisfied and agreed.
…
"Takeshita-kun, do you think it is possible for the empire to win on the Chinese battlefield?" Abe Nobuyuki asked Takeshita Jun. At this time, several days had passed since the debate, and Abe Nobuyuki had fallen out of favor. But even so.
, Abe Nobuyuki has begun to doubt the war.
"It's difficult. After all, China has a vast territory and a lot of people. From this point of view, the empire is completely incomparable. The only thing the empire relies on is advanced industrial technology and various equipment. But as far as I know, Zhou Weiguo
The firepower of the independent division completely overwhelmed the warriors of the empire, and the air force and navy of the independent division have made certain achievements." Takeshita Shun paused, "So, to be honest, I do not recommend that the empire continues to operate in China.
This stalemate continues."
"Because it is true that we can no longer gain much benefit and the losses are too huge." Nobuyuki Abe continued.
"Yes, I told His Majesty the Emperor about this a long time ago. Unfortunately, people change."
"Those who can see the situation clearly in the empire now can't see it clearly again. Greed is really the original sin." Nobuyuki Abe was helpless. Since Yamamoto Isoroku provoked everyone's greed before, now, the senior officials unanimously believe that we must
Continuing the action on the Chinese battlefield. It must be said that Yamamoto Isoroku is quite good at communication.
"Indeed." Takeshita Jun agreed, "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, here, I would like to ask you to do me a favor."
"What's the rush?"
"Find an opportunity to kick me out of the cabinet."
"Nani?" Abe Nobuyuki stood up in surprise, "Takeshita-kun, you know that your entry into the cabinet was specially approved by His Majesty. If I want to kick you out of the cabinet, I may not have enough authority."
"No, you just need to be tough once." Takeshita Jun said with a smile, "Just say that my views are different from everyone else's and I am not suitable to be in the cabinet. Otherwise, it will hinder the empire."
Abe Nobuyuki sighed, "Takeshita-kun, do you want to get out this time?"
Takeshita Jun sighed, "Hey, every time there are political disagreements, I feel very tired. The most terrifying thing is that it is not the political disagreements, but that the facts are clearly in front of them, but these people choose not to believe them and continue to dream of their dreams.
"
Takeshita Jun's words hit Abe Nobuyuki's heart like a hammer. Then, Abe Nobuyuki nodded, feeling bitter in his heart. When he came to power, he was also ambitious, but the facts were always unexpected.
…
In the Wuhan area, the war broke out again. Only this time, the Japanese were at a more obvious disadvantage. Whether it was from the north, west or south, they were advancing very quickly.
In less than three days, they were all pushed to the gates of Wuhan.
Okamura Neiji felt very sad. He clearly wrote a telegram to apologize and believed that Wuhan was no longer defensible, but the order given to him by the base camp was still to stand firm. He was also told that there would be naval support. But three days later, the navy
What? He didn't see any shadow of the navy, but he saw fewer and fewer people under his command day by day.
"Your Excellency, Commander, the telegram has been sent, but we have not received any reply yet."
"I understand. You go down first and let the warriors hold their positions. Tell them that support will arrive soon and the empire's navy is already on the way." Okamura Neiji said casually. With this sentence, he
He has said it many times in the past few days, and now, even he himself doesn't believe it.
"Hi!"
…
To the east of Wuhan, Fang Shengli looked at the city of Wuhan and felt a little relieved in his heart. At any rate, they had finally reached the city walls of Wuhan, and there was a good chance that they could take Wuhan back.
"Assistant Master, brothers are all ready."
"Okay, the time has come to regain Wuhan. Tell the brothers, we will take Wuhan, but we must also protect ourselves." Fang Shengli said calmly. As a high-level military officer, Fang Shengli has also developed the habit of
Losing his momentum, "Attack!"
"yes!"
Due to the special terrain of Wuhan, with the Yangtze River and Han River running through the city, and dotted with lakes and fish ponds, the tank brigade was really unable to function here. Wang Chao had no choice but to lead his soldiers and watch.
"Artillery regiment, I want you to knock down the city gate!"
"yes!"
"Da da da!"
"Boom boom boom~"
"Da da!"
For a time, outside the city of Wuhan, gunpowder smoke filled the air and the smell of gunpowder was everywhere.
…
"Yalu, fight back hard!" On the city wall, a Japanese colonel was furious. These days, they were only beaten and suppressed, and they were very aggrieved.
"Hi!"
"Pah hook!"
"Pah hook!"
At this moment, the Japanese's military qualities were revealed, and their marksmanship was very accurate. For a while, the independent division did not get any benefits.
Although Fang Shengli's firepower is fierce and the artillery still provides fire support, attacking the city is indeed a very difficult task, especially because the city of Wuhan is so high. If it were a Japanese city, Fang Shengli would not hesitate
They called for air force support to suppress the Japanese from the air, but this city was their own and they could not completely destroy it, not to mention that there were still people in the city.
Fang Shengli looked at Wuhan. He could not imagine how a city like Wuhan could be lost. He had already seen several soldiers fall.
"Assistant Master, we can't continue fighting like this." Li Wu frowned and said, "The losses are too great."
"That's right, if the fight continues like this, we won't be enough for the Japanese to stuff bullets." Xing Nuonuo also nodded in agreement.
"Then what do you think?" Fang Shengli asked, "Can you enter the city?"
Li Wu looked at the Yangtze River in front of him. Suddenly, the corner of his mouth curled up, "I have a solution!"
"any solution?"
Li Wu pointed at the water and said, "This!"
"That's right, the Yangtze River passes through Wuhan!" Lei Dingtian said at the side with a sudden realization.
"But the water conditions of the Yangtze River are complicated, and you can't just go in if you want." Fang Shengli frowned, "You know, countless people drown in the Yangtze River every year."
Fang Shengli's words also caused everyone to think deeply. Indeed, it would be very dangerous to rush into the water rashly.
"But if you don't do this, you will lose more brothers." Long Zhi said from the side.
"Okay, I'll go with the special force." Gu Feiyan said, "When it comes to going deep behind enemy lines, no one is more experienced than our special force. Recently, I have been helping you with sniping, and so have my brothers and I.
A little boring."
Fang Shengli looked at Gu Feiyan gratefully and nodded, "Then be more careful."
