Everybody knows?

Terauchi Shouichi, the new commander-in-chief of the Shanghai Dispatch Army, naturally also knew that under the instruction of Hideki Tojo, he had already come to Shanghai, but he hadn't made his ass hot yet, and he was preparing for the next step, waving his army north, to conquer Han Li.

Who would have thought.

The opponent gave him a dismount first, "Boom! "Boom!" After a barrel of frying.

Shouichi Terauchi sat in his office, looking at the scene outside, the shomen who was born with a golden soup spoon in his mouth was dumbfounded, looking at the fireball in the sky, looking at the sound of cannons coming from the sea, completely blinded.

When it was finally learned that the Third Fleet and the Fourth Fleet were all wiped out, and there was no one left of the four major aircraft carriers. The air forces of the Army Aviation Department and the Naval Aviation Department were all gone, and there was not one left.

When the sea and air supremacy are all owned by the enemy.

He was even more overwhelmed.

Of course, this is not the main thing, the most important thing is that at this time all the outlets to the sea in the entire sea are controlled by the opposing fleet, plus the air supremacy is gone, they have become turtles catching turtles in the urn, and they are trapped in Shanghai.

Shouichi Terauchi was completely dumbfounded.

I thought I could show my skills and sweep away the shame of Matsui Ishine, but who would have thought that he didn't wait for himself to figure out the whole situation.

It's already surrounded.

How else is it good.

He looked at the situation report from below, and it was incredulous, "Enemy fleet? How can the enemy have a fleet, isn't it a joke? China doesn't have a decent warship, where is the fleet? Angry, he slapped him directly, "Bage Yalu, how did you get this kind of information, have you checked it?" Isn't this nonsense? ”

"Hey!"

The subordinates immediately saluted and said: "General, this information is absolutely true, the Third Fleet and the Fourth Fleet were not destroyed by aircraft, but the other side appeared in the fleet, we have already filmed the fishing boats to go out to investigate, the enemy's fleet is very large, and the warships are very powerful, according to the information I got, the Fengxiang and Akagi were sunk when they bombarded the opposing fleet, this news is absolutely true, there are survivors who survived, and they saw it with their own eyes." ”

"Saw it with your own eyes? Bombardment sunk?! ”

This is beyond Terauchi Shouichi's cognition, beyond Terauchi Shouichi's understanding.

He is an army admiral and does not know much about the navy, but he also knows that the Imperial Navy is still very strong, ranking third in the world, and the Third Fleet and the Fourth Fleet are the main fleets of the Imperial Navy.

was actually wiped out like this.

It's incredible.

He groaned, looked at the war knife given to him by Hideki Tojo, gritted his teeth and said, "Bring some people disguised as Chinese fishermen to take a few photos and come back, I want to see what kind of warship it is, this is very important." ”

"Yes!"

His men went to do it.

Terauchi Shouichi took over the post of commander-in-chief of Matsui Ishine's Shanghai Dispatch Army, and all the navies in the Shanghai area also had to cooperate with him, but he still hasn't been contacted.

That's it.

He had to pick up the phone, dial Hideki Tojo's phone number, and report the situation here one by one, "Prime Minister, this is the situation, I just arrived for three days, and the other party gave me such a meeting gift, and I have fallen into passivity." ”

“······”

Hideki Tojo fell silent.

He knew that what Shouichi Terauchi said at this level could not be exaggerated, that is, Shanghai's sea and air supremacy were gone.

After a long while, he said: "I will listen to the opinions of all parties, and I will forward it to you in the name of the Marine War Department." ”

"Yes, Prime Minister."

Shouichi Terauchi hung up.

He at this time. Only then did I realize what kind of hot potato I had received, and if I wanted to put it away, it would be difficult, and I even regretted it, "What do I think, why did I come to Shanghai, hey, fight for the imperial navy to come over quickly, otherwise, it will be difficult to leave Shanghai." ”

As for saying.

Those of his subordinates disguised themselves as Chinese fishermen, went out to sea to fish, took pictures, and handed them to Terauchi Shouchi one by one, and Terauchi Shouichi was shocked.

It's not that China's warships, if they are majestic, if they are huge, what kind of magic weapons they are, but now the entire periphery of Shanghai is full of Japanese corpses, one by one, and you can't see the end at a glance.

At the same time, with the invasion of the waves, swimming upstream, the entire Huangpu River was also floating with the corpses of Japanese soldiers everywhere.

At this time, the entire Shanghai Tang people knew that the Japanese devils were defeated, and many Japanese devils died.

All the Chinese people were fighting for all kinds of things on the Japanese devils, belts, clothes, and there were also a lot of bare-bottomed corpses.

This made Terauchi Shouichi angry, plus photos of Chinese warships.

Terauchi Shouichi was angry and useless, sat down with his ass, waved his hand, and only one sentence remained, "Let Tegaoke, at all costs, send these photos to the Ministry of Marine." ”

"Yes!"

Like a nuclear bomb, the photo changed hands several times and reached the Department of Marine War.

······

······

The Japanese Marine War Department was already distressed, no, it was the entire Japanese military that was distressed.

Since the 250,000 elites were wiped out, there have been some opposition voices within the Japanese mainland, such a large number of deaths, not to say, the accumulation of several battles, but one, within a few days, this made the Japanese Army very embarrassed, several parliaments, were pointed at the nose and asked.

As a result, the Navy's Third Fleet and Fourth Fleet were all wiped out within a day. It can be said that the blow is no less than being wiped out by 250,000 Japanese troops.

Inside the Cabinet.

Some people have already begun to shout for a re-examination of the winners and losers of the war against China, but at the beginning of the war, the Japanese War Department did not understand the strength of the other side at all, so they rashly started the war.

So under such an effect.

There was a dead silence in the Marine War Department, and everyone didn't know what to do next.

That's when it happened.

These photos, these pictures of the dead Japanese soldiers floating on the sea, appeared on the conference table of the Marine War Department, and when everyone saw it, all that was left was the angry shouting, "Eight Grid Tooth Road, Eight Grid Tooth Road." ”

"The soldiers of the empire cannot be slaughtered like this, absolutely not."

Completely insane.

A piece of war anger to tear apart, eager to eat alive.

"To mobilize all the forces of the empire, you must hold Shanghai, no matter how strong they are, it is impossible for them to resist the full force of the empire."

"Yes, we can't let so many imperial warriors die so miserably and die like this."

Already red-eyed with anger.

But it's all anger, and they can't do that without understanding the situation, and they can't have the final say.

Hideki Tojo did not speak.

After all the rage, everyone shut their mouths again.

As for the photos.

Hideki Tojo is well aware of the consequences of publishing these photographs in China, and he also knows that Shanghai is an international metropolis with reporters stationed in various countries.

Photos like this, things like this, are sure to make headlines on the front pages of various countries.

Hideki Tojo immediately said: "From today onwards, all newspapers from all countries entering the country must be censored, and all those that publish these photos will be immediately suspended and will not be tolerated." ”

"Yes!"

His men went to do it.

But the problem is that this can't solve the problem, it can just cover up the failure, it's just covering up the ears and stealing the bell, and the next step is still inconclusive.

Hideki Tojo looked at the photos of the floating corpses of those Japanese soldiers, thought for a while, and said: "The battle of Xuzhou, stop the whole line, order the headquarters, retreat to a safe area, in case the enemy sneak attack." ”

"Yes!"

This is the most important thing to do at this time.

On the front line of the Battle of Xuzhou, 200,000 Japanese troops may end up in this situation at the next moment, even if these war maniacs are not afraid of these, they are still responsible for the lives of these soldiers.

So, the withdrawal of troops was announced.

The Battle of Xuzhou collapsed in an instant.

The 200,000 Japanese troops, who were still ready for battle, immediately withdrew to Jinan, withdrew to important places in North China and other passes, and were ready for battle, with a frightened and frightened posture.

But the problem is that we still haven't made up an accurate idea about what to do with the siege of Shanghai.

A cloud hung over the head of the Japanese Marine Corps.

In the words of Hideki Tojo's internal speech, the fate of the empire has entered a critical moment.
