Songhu, outside the Sihang warehouse, a group of Japanese soldiers had already caught up.
The warehouse was already empty, and there were still many Japanese heads that had not been burned out outside.
On the garbage bridge, a Chinese military flag was still fluttering in the wind.
Under the flag, two heads that had died with grievances were still swaying in the wind.
It was as if he was mocking the devils under his banner.
The eyes of the Japanese lieutenant who led the team spewed out anger.
"Baka, those damned Chinese people actually annihilated our division. The two generals have already sacrificed themselves for the country!”
"They've already left the warehouse. How should we report to the headquarters?" asked a major.”
The lieutenant let out a long sigh." We have to report this to the higher-ups immediately. The damn Chinese people have escaped from the concession. It was the concession that provided them with convenience!”
"Do we still continue to track them down?" The major nodded.”
The lieutenant glared at him angrily. More than half of the Hashimoto Regiment has been wiped out by them, what can we do with our few men? We'll return to the headquarters and report back. The rest will be arranged by the headquarters!”
The major didn't dare to say anything more. He sent people to knock down the Huaxia flag and at the same time, restrained Hashimoto Matsuno and Tokugawa's heads.
They didn't even look at the concession and directly swaggered back to the headquarters.
In the command center of the dispatched troops, General Matsumoto Ishigen was shocked when he received the news from his subordinates.
According to his understanding, there was no longer any large scale Chinese army in Songhu, so how could a small number of soldiers wipe out half of his division?
Moreover, the eldest son of the prime minister's family, the glorious Imperial Guard, had also died tragically in the military camp last night.
Matsumoto Shigen did not dare to delay and quickly sent the message back to the Wei Nation.
1 PM sharp.
Just like that, the military situation on the Songhu battlefield was relayed back to the Wei Nation.
The moment Prime Minister Wen Zao received the message, he was so angry that he fainted.
When he woke up again, the guard Wen Cheng ignored everyone's obstruction and immediately rushed to the Imperial Palace.
The guard Wen Zao charged into the hall of the Heavenly Locust of Hirohito.
"Your Excellency, I have an urgent matter to report!”
Hirohito Heavenly Locust frowned slightly. He was no longer the puppet Heavenly Locust of the past. He had absolute power in the country.
"As the Prime Minister of the Great Japan Empire, how can you be so rash and disrespectful?" Hirohito said coldly. Tell me, what's the urgent matter?"
The guard, Wen Zao, knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise his head."China has sent back news that we have suffered heavy losses on the Songhu battlefield. In the past two days, more than half of the division had been wiped out by the Chinese army. Lieutenant General Hashimoto Matsunei and Major General Tokugawa Izumi had all died, and their heads were hung under the Chinese flag.”
"My eldest son, Imperial Guards, also died in this battle. Please help me, Lord Tian Huang!”
"Nani?" The Hirohito Locust stood up angrily."How dare the Chinese do such a crazy thing?”
"Men, get the people from the Army Command Department to come over for a meeting!”
The order was sent out.
Soon, all the military bigwigs rushed to the palace.
They had also received the news from the Songhu battlefield and had already guessed the contents of today's meeting.
Everyone's face was ashen. After such a big incident, everyone's face was dark.
As expected, the moment the meeting started, Hirohito flew into a rage.
"Who was it that promised me that our warriors were the best in the world?”
"Who is it that told me that the Chinese have fallen behind?”
"You said it yourself. There is no longer a Chinese army in Songhu!”
"Then who can explain to me how our entire regiment of warriors died?”
"Those Chinese people actually treated the corpses of our Empire's warriors so cruelly. Give me an explanation. Were you lying to me about everything that you reported?”
"Your Excellency Tian Huang, regarding this matter, our military command department is also very puzzled. The Chinese army has already retreated to Jinling, and there are no large armies left in Songhu. This Chinese army that ambushed our division seemed to have appeared out of thin air!”
"No large-scale army?" The Hirohito Locust slammed the table angrily. Are you saying that our entire division was wiped out by a small group of Chinese troops?”
Hideki Tojo had a bitter expression on his face." No, no. According to our understanding, the Chinese hid an army of 800 people outside the concessions of the Western countries!”
"Eight hundred people?" "You mean 800 people wiped out nearly 10,000 of our soldiers?" Hirohito Heavenly Locust raised his voice. Do you know what you are saying?”
"Destroying half of our division and killing all of our lieutenant generals and major generals, such an army must be the elites of the elites.”
"They must have a large number of people, perhaps even more than an entire division. Such a powerful army can't appear out of thin air!”
" But Your Majesty," Hideki Tojo said bitterly," according to our understanding, the commander of the Chinese is called Lin Chao. They do address him as their regiment commander." And his name is not in our information at all!”
Hirohito stared at Hideki Tojo angrily."This must be a trap set up by the Chinese. How can such a powerful army and a sharp and decisive commander be unknown?”
"Where did their team go?”
"A few hours ago, they had already evacuated Songhu through the concession, and now they are nowhere to be found."”
"But based on our deduction, their commander will definitely transfer such an elite army back to defend Jinling!”
"Rest assured, Your Majesty," Hideki Tojo assured."Our 100,000 soldiers have already arrived in Songhu. I've already ordered the army to set off for Jinling. I'm sure we can annihilate this army in Jinling!”
Hirohito nodded." This defeat will greatly affect the morale of the Empire and its international image. Other than annihilating Lin Chao and his army to avenge the Empire's warriors, you must divert the public's attention as soon as possible.”
"Your Excellency, the best way to divert attention is war," Hideki Tojo said coldly. Only a new victory can make the people and soldiers forget this defeat. Only then will the other countries continue to be intimidated by our powerful army!”
"Then order the vanguard to attack immediately and destroy their defense line. Let the Chinese bear our wrath!"”
"Ha Yi!" Hideki Tojo immediately nodded." Don't worry, Your Excellency. I will make the Chinese pay a painful price!"”
