Matsui Iwane's frown deepened. It was not that he had not thought of this strategy before, but he felt that it was too risky, so he had been hesitating.
This was because, according to what Hashiko Asakamiya had said, they were going to gather the 3rd, 9th, 13th, and 16th divisions, as well as the Shigeto Division. They were going to attack Jinling and take it down as soon as possible.
However, the problem was that other than the 101st Division, which was stationed in the Songhu area, the Japanese only had four and a half divisions left.
However, they had to leave soldiers to guard the large areas they occupied along the way, such as Suwuchang Town, which caused the Japanese pirates to have less and less troops to mobilize.
If they really concentrated the main force of these four and a half divisions to attack Jinling, it would inevitably cause the enemy's rear defense to be weak. If there was an accident, it would easily lead to the collapse of the entire line.
That was why Matsui Iwane said that it was a risk.
Nobuhiko of Asakamiya vowed,"Commander, the imperial army is just a pawn to cross the river. We can only move forward. As long as we can take Jinling, we will win.”
"God Tenshou will protect the imperial army!”
"Pawn to cross the river?"
Matsui Iwane repeated these words over and over again. He frowned and seemed to be hesitating.
"Bang!"
Matsui Iwane slammed the table, stood up, and said with a serious face,""Now that things have come to this, the imperial army must make a prompt decision and take down Jinling as soon as possible to force the Chinese government to completely submit to the imperial army.”
"Therefore, I have decided to attack Jinling with all my might!”
"Suga-kun!"
"Your humble servant is here!" Sugawara quickly replied.
Matsui Iwane said seriously,""Just follow what His Highness Zhaoxiang said and immediately formulate a detailed battle plan.”
"Attack Jinling with all your might! I firmly believe that the imperial army will win!"
"Ha Yi!" Sugawara quickly replied.
" We have to hurry. The longer we delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for the imperial army."”
"Don't worry, Your Highness," Tsukada said quickly."I'll do my best."”
At the same time, the high-ranking Japanese generals also said,"I will do my best to expand the empire's territory.”
……
"Buzz…!"
The ear-piercing air-defense alarm sounded in Langxi County. The soldiers in the city took action one after another.
The city defense troops hid in the bomb shelter, and the air defense troops immediately got into position.
Fortunately, Xu Rui had already expected that they would be attacked by the Japanese pirates in retaliation. Therefore, he had moved all the residents of Langxi County to a hidden rural area outside the city in advance to temporarily hide.
The main force of Xu Rui's troops was also mostly stationed in the relatively hidden countryside, just in case.
Xu Rui also hid in the underground command room and could not help but curse,"Damn it, it's inconvenient not to have an air force. It seems that I have to build my own air force as soon as possible.”
At this moment, the sound of anti-air cannons and anti-aircraft machine guns could be heard outside, but explosions could also be heard.
Apparently, there were still bombs falling in the city.
Although the anti-air artillery fire of the National Defense Force was very fierce, it was still unable to completely avoid the bombing.
After the Japanese suffered a loss, they knew that the anti-aircraft artillery of the National Defense Force was powerful. They did not dare to fly low and only bombarded from high altitude.
With the anti-air firepower on the ground, it would be much more difficult to shoot down the Japanese planes.
However, the efficiency of the Japanese bombing was not high.
In addition, there were no residents in the city, and there were not many soldiers, so the losses of the National Defense Force were relatively limited.
The air-raid sirens never stopped for an entire day.
The Japanese planes left one wave, and soon another wave arrived.
The bombardment continued.
Many parts of the small county town had been blown into ruins.
Fortunately, they did not lose many people.
The anti-air artillery fire of the National Defense Force also shot down more than a dozen Japanese planes.
Overall, it was not a loss.
Therefore, Xu Rui's command center could only stay in the underground bomb shelter.
Xu Hu rushed in.
"Sir, someone from Jinling is here.”
"Who is it? Could it be some random cat or dog again?”
Xu Hu scratched his head." That person called himself Dai Li or something. I don't know if he's a nobody.”
"Oh?"
Xu Rui raised his eyebrows and said with a smile,"I didn't expect Old Jiang to send this guy over.”
"He's quite a character. Let him in! I also want to meet this big spy leader!”
"Yes, sir!"
Before long, Dai Li arrived at Xu Rui's command post.
Dai Li was very polite when they met.
"Master Xu, I've heard a lot about you. It's my honor to meet you today.”
