War of Resistance

Chapter 790 Hankou Operation Decision
"Your Majesty, why don't we start the battle against Hankou as soon as possible?" Konoe Wenmaro raised the most critical topic in this meeting.

"What you said about Hankou is very true, we must carry out the Hankou battle! Then, dear friends, then we can discuss how to fight this Hankou battle, which will greatly help the China Incident." In the spacious wooden room, Emperor Hirohito waved his hand, which set the tone for this important imperial meeting.

"His Majesty the Emperor is wise!" Konoe Fumimaro said, and everyone's expressions were similar to Konoe Fummaro's. Obviously, they also believed that Konoe Fummaro's statement was correct.

A group of them must prepare to win this battle in Hankou!

"Yo Xi, dear dear ones, let's proceed to the next agenda!" Emperor Showa Hirohito directly brought the topic to the main topic.

"Yes! Your Majesty the Emperor!" Konoe Fumimaro responded, and then continued: "I believe that in this battle, we must gather all the combat troops in China to win this battle! Only in this way, Only then can our chances of winning be infinitely expanded!"

"I also agree with what Prime Minister Konoe said. Not only that, but I also hope that all capable troops except the Konoe Division can be sent to the East China battlefield in China to win this war of betting on the fate of the country!" Itagaki Seishiro said loudly, obviously, his proposal is not just a little crazy!
At this time, Itagaki Seishiro was more like a crazy gambler, and he was the kind of crazy gambler who shouted for Stud when he got on the gambling table!

There is no way out for one's own side at all!

"Then dear friends, what do you think?" Emperor Hirohito looked at the others. After all, this decision was too big and too crazy, and it was necessary to seek other people's opinions.

At this moment, Araki Sadao, the former leader of the Kodo faction and now the leader of the Kodo faction, stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I also think that what Minister Itagaki said makes sense. We have already gambled on the war of national destiny, we must go all out! Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"I also agree!" Very rarely, even Ugaki Kazushige, the foreign minister who was a veteran of the ruling faction, also voted in favor.

The two major factions in the country have reached an agreement on the handling of this issue. What's more, Emperor Hirohito originally wanted to win this war, so he slapped the table: "Yo Xi! Dear dear friends! The proposal is very good, let's implement it according to this!"

Soon, everyone centered on this issue and drew up an important order: All troops fighting in mainland China should stop returning home and mobilize 40 more troops in the country, and set aside 32.5 billion yen as the budget for combat expenses!

Not only that, but at this imperial meeting, the high-level leaders of these Japanese base camps also made a very crazy decision: in addition to expanding ten divisions to support Hankou, they even stayed behind in the only remaining division in the country—the Guards Division. , is also on standby, and reinforces Hankou to fight at any time!

It can be seen how much energy the Japanese army put into winning this battle!

However, no one except the cabinet knew that this battle, which had been decided at the imperial meeting, actually had another purpose.

That is to force China to surrender!
After all, in their view, how important Wuhan is to the Chinese army!

So, from this point of view, the Chinese army will definitely do its best to defend Greater Wuhan!
With this great battle, both Konoe Fumimaro and Emperor Hirohito of the Showa era hoped that this war would give the Nationalist Government the "final blow"!
After this order was drafted, Emperor Hirohito said lightly: "I hope that this Hankou battle can give the Chiang Kai-shek government a final fatal blow. I no longer want to see the empire's million-strong army controlled by China. These one million troops are enough for the empire to do many things. Therefore, the army must devote all its strength to fight for Hankou and win the Hankou battle!"

"Hay!" All the cabinet ministers present responded in unison. Obviously, they all had high hopes for this Hankou battle!
As they said, this war of aggression against China has already gambled their national destiny, and the Hankou battle is a battle that they all placed high hopes on at the same time.

Whether it is the Emperor faction or the ruling faction, they all know clearly: If this war is lost, what consequences will they face.

Therefore, in this Hankou battle, both the Emperor's Daoist faction and the arch-rival Controlling faction reached a consensus.

After all, only when the Japanese Empire still exists, can they live a more nourishing life!
……

The camera turns back to Wuhan.

When these little devils were plotting to destroy China, the dinner party at the Zheng's mansion had just begun.

During this dinner, Zhang Tianhai met Zheng Man's elder brother for the first time - Colonel Zheng Yuyang, who had the same military rank as him.

Unlike Zhang Tianhai, an officer who was quickly promoted to an important position on the front line, Zheng Yuyang stepped up step by step, so his temperament was naturally different.

I saw that Zheng Yuyang was in his thirties, and he was a few years older than Zhang Tianhai in age, but his calm temperament was not comparable to that of Zhang Tianhai.

It was a real aristocratic temperament, which could not be compared with a rough man like Zhang Tianhai.

"Brother-in-law, eat more. The meals of your front-line combat troops are not as good as those of us sitting in the back." Zheng Yuyang was very enthusiastic about Zhang Tianhai—no one would hope that his younger sister would Marry a wimp.

"Thank you uncle, I know how to eat, so you don't have to be polite. As for me, I have a thicker skin. So, please don't mind me." Zhang Tianhai laughed, and the atmosphere was pretty good Harmonious.

On the other hand, Mr. Zheng Boqu, who was eating at the side, did not speak. He didn't know if he was afraid of interrupting the communication of these young people or what.

"By the way, I just heard that your army seems to have been reorganized, right?" Zheng Yuyang said directly to Zhang Tianhai without beating around the bush.

"To be honest, yes. Ever since the order to establish a new theater was issued, our regiment has changed from a front-line field force to a security force directly under the theater. I don't know whether to cry or laugh." Zhang Tianhai shook his head with a wry smile.

After thinking about it for a while, Zheng Yuyang said, "Isn't it good to be a security force in a war zone? At least you can get a certain period of training before your regiment recovers. When you go to the battlefield in the future, you won't suffer so easily. "

"Thank you brother for the good life. I understand it. In fact, like our regiment, the problem is not too much, and the problem is not too little. The most serious problem is the serious shortage of grassroots officers. Don't look at us fighting on the front line before." It’s a beautiful scene, but hey, what should it be like. We know for ourselves.” Zhang Tianhai sighed softly.
