After thinking about it for a long time, Xianyuan Gong Zairen reluctantly said, "I'll do this." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"Haiyi, then there is His Royal Highness Prince Lao." Hideki Tojo hurriedly thanked him.

This is also the main purpose of his tireless and overnight rush to ask to see the Xianyuan Palace, because he was really afraid that after the bad news was reported, Hirohito would be angry, but he didn't dare not report the news to Hirohito, so he came up with such a compromise and first reported the bad news to the army chief of the army.

And the idle palace Zairen really didn't disappoint Hideki Tojo and took the errand over.

Xianyuan Gong Zairen asked again: "However, Tojo-kun, after the Ninth Division was completely annihilated, Shanghai was lost, and several surrounding counties were afraid that they would not be able to hold it, so the whole battle situation could take a sharp turn for the worse, so correspondingly, should the battle plan of the Shanghai Campaign also be adjusted accordingly?" ”

"Hello!" Hideki Tojo paused, "I was just about to tell Your Highness." ”

After a pause, Hideki Tojo said: "According to the original battle plan of the base camp, the remnants of the 9th Division will contain the patrol battalion in Hongkou, and then after the 20th Division and the 7th Division arrive, they will surround the patrol camp from the periphery, and then annihilate it in Hongkou, but now with the annihilation of the 9th Division, this idea has failed......

Xianyuan Gong Zairen interrupted Tojo Hideki with some impatience and said, "Tojo-kun, let's talk about the point directly." ”

"Hello." Hideki Tojo paused, and then continued, "Your Highness, after receiving this battle report, I have already ordered the Operations Division of the base camp to urgently draw up a new battle plan, according to this plan, the 20th Division and the 7th Division will land from Baoshan County and Jinshanwei respectively, and then attack Shanghai from the north and south. ”

"Landing from Baoshan County and Jinshanwei?" Xianyuan Gong Zairen frowned and said, "Why don't you land directly from Yangshupu?" There is a dock available, so why do you have to rush to the beach? ”

"Nani?" Hideki Tojo was dumbfounded and said, "Your Highness, have you forgotten Wu Songkou?" ”

"How did I forget Wu Songkou." Xianyuan Gong Zairen slapped his forehead, and then remembered that after the patrol camp succeeded in the sneak attack on the Third Fleet of the Japanese Navy, more than a dozen warships of the Third Fleet were driven to Wusongkou and sunk, and now a blockade line has been successfully built at Wusongkou, and ships of more than 1,000 tons cannot be navigated.

With a sigh, Xianyuan Gong Zairen said again: "Isn't this still necessary to fight the Battle of Songhu again?" ”

"Not really." Tojo Hideki shook his head and said, "Although Xu Rui is powerful, the strength of the patrol battalion is far from the scale of the main force of the national army, not to mention millions of troops, Xu Rui can raise 20,000 troops is good, so if it can't reach the scale of the battle, at best, it will be a large-scale sweep." ”

"Tojo-kun, don't be careless." Xianyuan Gong Zairen waved his hand and said, "The scale of the patrol battalion may not be comparable with the main force of the National Army during the Battle of Songhu, but its combat effectiveness is not far behind, especially the command of the patrol battalion, which is much stronger than the main force of the National Army." ”

"Hello." Hideki Tojo paused, "His Royal Highness the Prince, Xu Rui's tactical command ability is indeed far from being comparable to those high-ranking generals of the National Army. ”

Xianyuan Gong Zairen nodded and said, "So, you must be careful!" ”

"Hello!" Hideki Tojo paused again and said, "I understand. ”

"Go ahead." Xianyuan Gong Zairen waved his hand and said, "Tell me if you have any difficulties." ”

Hideki Tojo hesitated and whispered: "Your Royal Highness, there is really a difficulty, can you tell His Royal Highness Hiroko Fushimi Palace, let the Navy provide more transportation capacity, and transport the 7th and 20th Divisions to the Shanghai battlefield at one time?" Otherwise, the lowly duty is worried that if they arrive separately, they will be beaten by the patrol camp and broken by each one. ”

After Xianyuan Gong Zairen heard this, an old face immediately appeared with a look of embarrassment.

Fushimi Gong Hiroshi used naval ships to engage in smuggling and fill his pockets, and he also knew about this matter, but he didn't intervene too much, because his own butt was not clean, but the current war situation in Shanghai was very critical, but he had to tell Fushimi Palace Hiroshi.

At that moment, the idle courtyard palace Zairen said: "I will also tell Fushimi Palace about this." ”

"Haiyi, that's really thank Your Highness." Hideki Tojo was overjoyed when he heard this, and then turned around and hurried away.

As soon as he returned to the War Department, Hideki Tojo immediately issued an order to the 20th Division, which had already completed the assembly, asking them to wait for another seven days in Incheon Port, and then go to Shanghai after the 7th Division also completed the assembly.

(Dividing Line)

At the same time, in Shanghai.

Except for the North Railway Station, where guns were still being fired, the rest of the street fighting battlefields had returned to calm, and groups of officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion were holding submachine guns and cleaning up the battlefield.

Only at this time did Xu Rui dare to say that the overall situation of the battle of Shanghai had been decided!

Without taking a breath, Xu Rui immediately summoned all the high-level officials of the military division to the Broadway Building.

In the large conference room, Wang Husheng took out a telegram in front of dozens of commanders and said: "This is a telegram of commendation just sent by the head of the military department to congratulate us on our unprecedented victory in the Shanghai campaign. ”

After a pause, Wang Husheng took out another telegram and said abruptly: "This letter is Chairman Chiang's commendation order to commend us for our major victory in the combat operation against the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet. After speaking, Wang Husheng read Chairman Chiang's commendation order from beginning to end.

Chairman Chiang still did not know that the Ninth Division had been completely annihilated and that Shanghai had been recovered.

When Wang Husheng read Chairman Jiang's commendation order, Xu Rui deliberately observed the expressions of the senior officers present, and found that the expressions of the vast majority of people were very indifferent, and even the officers of the lonely military camp such as Xie Yuan and Yang Rui were also very cold.

But this is also normal, who let Chairman Chiang once abandon them on the battlefield?

After reading the telegram, Wang Husheng said aloud: "Comrades, although the devils at the North Railway Station are still stubbornly resisting, we have already won the battle of Shanghai this time, and now I can tell you with great certainty that as soon as it dawns tomorrow, the whole of Shanghai will be recovered, and after nearly two years of fall, Shanghai will once again return to the embrace of the motherland!" ”

As soon as Wang Husheng's passionate words fell, there was immediately warm applause in the conference room, and many officers even shed tears while applauding, because the vast majority of officers here had participated in the Battle of Songhu, and after fighting for more than three months, Shanghai was finally lost, and they thought that this would become a shame that they could not wash away for the rest of their lives!

But I didn't expect that today, this shame was actually washed away by them, and Shanghai was recovered!

And what makes these Songhu veterans unable to suppress the excitement in their chests is that Shanghai is still recovered from them! It doesn't get much better than that!

These Songhu veterans cheered and applauded unwillingly, and even their palms were swollen.

Wang Husheng signaled again and again, signaling everyone to be quiet, but these Songhu veterans, whose emotions were close to being completely out of control, were unaware, and they were still cheering and applauding without emotion, and some people were crying, silently comforting their comrades-in-arms who died in Shanghai two years ago in their hearts: Shanghai has been recovered!

In the end, it was Xu Rui who got up and signaled everyone to be quiet, and finally suppressed the noise.

Then, the officers attending the meeting cast warm eyes at Xu Rui, before today, in fact, there were still many officers who secretly had doubts about Xu Rui, with the mentality that hearing is false, seeing is believing, they instinctively think that Xu Rui's previous achievements in Dameishan are all false, all blown out.

However, today, they are all convinced, Xu Rui is really capable!

Let's not talk about anything else, let's just say that the battle of Shanghai, no matter who is in command, it is impossible to have such a result!

It is the Third Fleet of the Navy and the Ninth Division of the Army, they are dreaming and never dare to think of such a result, but now, both of them have become a reality! Based on this alone, Xu Rui deserves the nickname of "sworn enemy of the empire", and he has indeed become the sworn enemy of little Japan!

When the conference room quieted down, Wang Husheng also turned his head and looked at Xu Rui with warm eyes, and said, "Old Xu, can you say a few words?" ”

"Commander, say a few words."

"Commander, you can also say a few words."

"Yes, Commander, you can praise us a few words."

"That is, Chairman Jiang has praised us, and you should praise us too."

Wang Hu grew up, and the atmosphere in the conference room became more and more enthusiastic.

"Kudos to you? Isn't it true that the one who gave you to the devil annihilated a pheasant division of the little devils, and it is worth your joy to be like this? Xu Rui poured a basin of cold water on his head, Xu Rui felt that these guys were a little too inflated, and he had to pour cold water on them in advance to avoid making mistakes in the next battle.

Immediately, some people were not happy and shouted: "Commander, this is the devil's ninth division!" One of the seventeen permanent divisions that were formed into an army during the Meiji period! ”

"Bullshit Standing Division!" Xu Rui said suddenly, "In Huainan and Huaiyin, we have suffered two defeats in a row, and the veterans who can fight are almost dead, and most of the people who are supplemented behind are reserves, and there are even reserves who have been retired for many years, and the combat effectiveness is not even as good as the independent mixed brigade that specializes in defense." ”

After a pause, Xu Rui said again: "So, don't let your tail rise to the sky just because you ate the Devil's Ninth Division, as for the annihilation of the Devil's Navy's Third Fleet, it has nothing to do with you, it is the credit of the Wolf Tooth Brigade, and even this time it was possible to completely annihilate the Ninth Division so quickly, thanks to the Wolf Tooth Brigade." ”

Hearing this, the officers present at the meeting drooped their heads.
