Chapter 566: Shouichi Terauchi's Choice
"Your Excellency, Commander, no!"
Hearing the order of the commander Terauchi Shou Ichi, a little devil major general hurriedly reminded him.
"Nani? Are you questioning my orders? ”
Terauchi Shouichi was furious and turned his head to glare at the subordinate.
"I don't dare!"
Major General Little Devil hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake, and then continued: "It's just that what our Great Japanese Empire did in Nanjing, the capital of China, has been reported by many foreign media, and it is no exaggeration to say that almost the whole world knows about this matter, and this matter has also greatly affected the image and influence of our Great Japanese Empire in the world.
Leaving aside the rest of the world, let's just talk about China, because after that incident, it almost provoked their national anti-Japanese upsurge.
The slaughter of the city is so unpopular that it can be done, but it must not be known by others.
For example, now, the people of China know that surrender is also death, so many of them would rather die in battle than surrender, which is extremely unfavorable to the construction of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere of our Great Japanese Empire.
Therefore, we resolutely cannot do such a thing as Nanjing!
Not to mention threatening the people of the entire Jiangsu Province to China, because this may not threaten them, but will be self-defeating and counterproductive! ”
"Kono-kun, even if you slaughter the entire Shina, so what? Even if the whole of China rose up against it, so what? Could it be that we are still afraid of the Japanese Empire? ”
As soon as the little devil major general finished speaking, another little devil major general pointed at him and shouted.
"That's it! In my opinion, the incident in Nanjing has not yet scared them, and the lessons taught to them are far from enough!
As long as they are scared and hurt, I am not afraid that when the time comes, they will not surrender obediently and surrender to our great Japanese Empire! ”
Another little devil major general continued.
"That's it!"
Seeing that the noise was getting more and more fierce, almost uncontrollable, Commander Terauchi Shouichi hurriedly spoke out and stopped their quarrel.
I have to say that Terauchi Shouichi, the commander, still exists in the North China Front Headquarters, and as his words fell, the group of little devil officers immediately stopped arguing.
It's just a pair of tiger eyes, still staring at each other.
In the end, Terauchi Shouichi still changed his previous order, although he was still threatening the 51st Division, but instead of using the people of the entire Jiangsu Province as a bargaining chip, he used their 51st Division.
Isn't this the 51st Division still besieged by the 13th and 3rd Divisions of the Japanese Army in the Mingguang area?
The reason why he did not dare to use the people of the entire Jiangsu Province to threaten Wang Yaowu was also after his careful consideration.
Their initial Japanese brutality in Nanking was, on the one hand, to retaliate against the Chinese side in the Battle of Shanghai and the casualties inflicted on their Japanese troops in the Battle of Nanking; On the other hand, it also wants to use this to deter China and force China to surrender obediently.
However, the little devil's conspiracy failed to succeed after all, because we have been in China for 5,000 years, and it is not that we have not encountered the invasion of foreign enemies, let alone been trampled on by foreign enemies, but we have never succumbed.
It was, it is, and it will be!
The Chinese people will never succumb to the coercion of foreign enemies!
After the heinous crimes committed by the Japanese army in Nanjing, instead of forcing China to surrender, it aroused the anger of the Chinese people even more, and almost all over the country, at the same time, set off an anti-Japanese upsurge.
The whole of China has truly entered the era of national resistance against Japan.
On the one hand, he is afraid that he will really anger all the Chinese people, and anyone who falls into despair may collapse and die in despair, but more people will bottom out in despair and explode.
The Chinese people are like this, the little devils have forced them into a desperate situation and made them completely explode.
On the other hand, the reason why the Japanese army did not dare to do bestial acts like Nanjing was also due to the pressure of public opinion above the international community......
The commander of the Central China Dispatch Army Headquarters, Hata Shunroku, couldn't have been happier after receiving Wang Yaowu's telegram.
Especially in this battle, he was only the deputy commander, which further aroused his resentment and dissatisfaction with Terauchi Shouichi.
Seeing that Shouichi in the temple was deflated, he was naturally very happy.
He wants to see how Shouichi Terauchi handles this matter, and if he doesn't handle it well, then he can use the topic to play.
It just so happened that he had coveted the position of this commander for a long time.
When the commander of the Shanghai Dispatch Army Headquarters, Matsui Shigen, saw the telegram sent by Wang Yaowu, a thought of watching a good show also rose in his heart.
Similarly, in the headquarters of several other military divisions, other little devil commanders also received this telegram, and then they also had the mentality of watching a good show......
Southwest of Mingguang, the temporary headquarters of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army.
Looking at the telegram placed on the conference table in front of him, Ogisu Libing suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
In addition, he finally knew that Ichiro Yamanato did not fool him.
If it had been the past, Ichiro Yamazato's Fifth Brigade had been hit hard, and the Ogisu soldiers would definitely applaud, but at this moment he couldn't be happy, just because today their 13th Division also suffered heavy losses, and even their previous temporary garrison was captured by the enemy and burned to the ground.
If you can still be happy, then there is a ghost.
Anger is anger, but Ogizhou Libing sighed in his heart the strength of the Chinese 51st Division.
Fighting on two fronts at the same time, they actually had the strength to raid the station of their 13th Division while inflicting heavy losses on the 5th Brigade.
He couldn't help but sigh that the 74th Army of China really deserves to be the first of the five main forces of the Whampoa Department!
But at the same time, it also made him afraid, if it wasn't for his joint Third Division, maybe he really wouldn't be the opponent of the 51st Division.
"Your Excellency, what's wrong?"
Finally, it seemed that he couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere in the headquarters, and the chief of staff, Shigeta Tetsuo, asked in a puzzled voice.
"See for yourself."
Ogisu suppressed the anger in his heart and pushed the telegram in front of him to the chief of staff, Shigeta Tetsuo.
Shigeta Tetsuo picked it up and looked at it, and his face suddenly showed a look of surprise.
"This ...... How is this possible? ”
Seeing this, Aizu Haki, Kurahashi Yuri, and Akamatsu Saki couldn't help but get up one after another and came to the side of Chief of Staff Shigeta Tetsuo.
And when they saw the contents of this telegram, their faces were all shocked, even more so than the chief of staff, Shigeta Tetsuo......
