In the city of Nanjing, it is said that the headquarters of the Central Dispatch Army of Benhua, Shunroku Hata walked back and forth leisurely, and it can be seen that this period of time is the most glorious day of Shunroku Hata. Since the beginning of the war, with the tragedy caused by the Imperial Army in China, the country has been forced to recall the former commander of the Central China Dispatch Army, General Matsui Ishone, under the pressure of public opinion, to return to China.

The victory in the Battle of Songhu and the victory in the Battle of Nanjing, all of which no longer indicate that the imperial army is indeed qualified to be proud of the others, and the victory of the two battles gave them the courage to compete with those world iron armies. If the Battle of Xuzhou can be successful at this moment, then the prestige of Shunroku Hata in his home country will undoubtedly increase dramatically.

However, at this time, Shunroku Hata's heart was a little disappointed, because the proposal he submitted to His Majesty the Emperor was rejected because of the opposition of most of the main war faction. Originally, based on the investigation of Hatatoshi for several months, he summed up the opinions of accepting it when it is good and working steadily.

But I didn't expect that so many people in China were eager to become famous and wanted to win the whole of China in one fell swoop. According to Shunroku Hatata's recollections, at that time, the war in Chinese mainland had reached the time to be closed when it was good, and if it went further, it would be very dangerous. I have control of the Central China Dispatch Army, and I can order the soldiers to stop the attack, but the dispatch forces in other regions (referring to General Terauchi Shouichi of the North China Front) and the main battle faction in Japan only obey the orders of His Majesty the Emperor. I sent a special envoy to report to His Majesty the Emperor my views on the situation on the mainland, the future of the Emperor, and the international situation, but most of the generals objected, and His Majesty had no choice but to veto my proposal. This is the most regrettable thing in my 80-year career.

This was said by Shunroku Hata himself when he was chatting with his friends in his later years, and the facts proved that Shunroku Hata was completely correct at that time. If General Terauchi hadn't attacked this time, perhaps the Central China Dispatch Army would not have rushed to join the battle.

"Your Excellency Commander, Your Excellency General Terauchi Shouichi has sent a telegram, hoping that our Central China Dispatch Army will speed up the progress of the campaign and move north as soon as possible, so as to provide military support to the North China Front. In addition, General Terauchi Shouichi also said that the Fifth Division has lost its combat effectiveness, and it is not clear how many people will be left in the end. The staff officer knocked on the office door, and as soon as he entered the office, he read the telegram directly.

"Nani? The 5th Division lost its combat effectiveness? Who is the opponent who defeated them? Although the Fifth Division belongs to the troops under the command of the North China Front, the loss of combat effectiveness of the Fifth Division is also not good news for Shunroku Hatata.

"General Terauchi Shouichi said that he suspected that it was the Ninety-ninth Army of China, but it is not certain yet." The staff officer looked at Shunroku Hata and seemed to want to say something, but he stopped talking, so he had to wait for Shunroku Hatata's next instructions.

"Ninety-Nine Army? Didn't they go to Manchuria? How did it end up here? Shunroku Hata was stunned for a moment, and then expressed his doubts.

As early as a few months ago, he received news from Tegaoke that the new 99th Army of China was transferred to Manchukuo, and it was assigned to the command of the Sixth Theater, and the commander-in-chief Su Dao had three divisions of the 99th Army under his command, with nearly 100,000 people. At first, when he got the news, Shunroku Hata didn't care, a force of less than 100,000 people could only be regarded as sheep in the mouth of the tiger when they arrived in Manchuria.

It's just that now I suddenly heard that the 99th Army was still staying here, which made Hata Shunliu feel a little surprised, originally for the 99th Army in China, Hata Shunliu was not optimistic, after all, it was a newly established army, and it was only after a battle of the Battle of Songhu, and the rapid expansion of the army will inevitably affect the combat effectiveness of the troops.

In Shunroku Hata's opinion, even if the 99th Army had 100,000 people, what could it do? It would be effortless for an Imperial division to destroy him. But now he heard that the 99th Army had beaten a horse-pulling division of the empire to the point of losing its combat effectiveness, and Hata Junliu couldn't believe it for a while.

However, thinking that there was still some distance between his troops and the North China Front, and that there were so many Chinese troops in the middle, Hata Shunroku had another headache, and this trouble really came one after another.

"Your Excellency Commander, I don't think it would be better for us to transfer a division of the imperial elite, and then cooperate with the North China Dispatch Army to attack the Ninety-ninth Army in the north and south and wipe it out in one fell swoop." The staff officer finally couldn't hold back and directly said his thoughts.

"Kobayashi-kun, fighting a war doesn't only require courage, but requires the cooperation of courage and wisdom. Since the Ninety-ninth Army is able to make the Fifth Division incapacitated, it will not help us to send a division, and do you think they will stay there and wait for us? Shunroku Hata looked at Kobayashi helplessly, shook his head with a wry smile.

originally thought that after the crazy expansion of the 99th Army, the combat effectiveness would inevitably decline a lot, but when the reality was in front of them, Hata Shunroku seemed to see that the truth did not seem to be the same as imagined, after being reorganized from the Reading Brigade to the 99th Army, they first disappeared for a few months, and then they hid in the shadows and attacked the Emperor [***] team, forcing the empire to lose a division of troops.

Judging from the current situation, I am afraid that if you want to exterminate the 99th Army, it is estimated that it will take at least three or four divisions to complete it, right? But how can there be troops to draw troops for him now? The army that was already short of troops, once the troops in any direction were transferred, it would inevitably cause a counterattack by the Chinese army, and he could not afford to consume such losses, and he did not dare to consume them.

Shunroku Hata has never fought with Su Dao, but this does not prevent him from learning about Su Dao's information, this character full of magic, makes Shunroku Hata both like and hate.

"Kobayashi-kun, go and tell General Terauchi Shouichi that our department will speed up the attack, and at the same time, please ask General Terauchi Shouichi to stabilize the situation." After thinking about it, Hata Junroku still decided to speed up the speed of the army's advance to the north, if the North China Front Army was beaten and could not hold on, then the next one who could not hold it would definitely be his Central China Dispatch Army, and he still understood the truth of his lips and teeth.

Kobayashi-kun took the order and left, but at the same time, he also had some dissatisfaction with Shunroku Hata, thinking that Shunroku Hata was timid in battle, and he couldn't carry forward the domineering spirit of the empire at all, and even he was secretly thinking in his heart, how did Shunroku Hata become this commander? Of course, he was just thinking about it in his heart, and even if he was killed, he wouldn't dare to say it.
