Chapter 118 The War Is Over 1
"Report! Report from the reconnaissance plane!" Shanghai, the headquarters of the Japanese Songhu Expeditionary Army, the combat command room, the communications officer Shouichi Terauchi said.

"Read!" said Terauchi Shouichi, who was discussing the next move of the troops with a group of staff.

"Hi! Report from the reconnaissance plane of the aviation team! As of just now, my reconnaissance plane has conducted a comprehensive reconnaissance of the Taihu Lake area, and no traces of the Komatsu Squadron of the Third Division have been found! Also, it was discovered that the Chinese garrison troops were in the Imperial Army of the Japanese Empire. Under the attack of the troops, they are gradually withdrawing from the Shanghai area, and the Chinese troops that have already withdrawn are walking along the railway in the direction of Nanjing." The signal soldier reported.

"Yuxi, order the troops to step up the attack! Complete the battle plan to occupy Shanghai as soon as possible! I am ordering the aviation team to do my best to search for the whereabouts of the Komatsu team!" Terauchi Shouichi ordered!
"Hi!" The communications soldier saluted and turned away after responding.

"What's the message from T-Tech!"

"Report, the latest information from TGK is that agents lurking in the Shanghai area have been arranged to assist the Komatsu Squadron to complete the pursuit mission. After that, there will be no more." A staff officer on the side said.

"Well, send a report to Tego again, asking them to find the whereabouts of the Komatsu Squadron. I don't believe it. It's only a day, and they can go there!!!" Terauchi Shouichi said, suppressing his anger.

"Hi!"

Shouyi in the temple was very anxious at the moment, and the reason for his anxiety was because of King Fuyan's problem.The royal family in Japan already knew about King Fuyan's disappearance, and possibly his death.

This matter has caused an uproar among the royal family!After all, as the sole heir of Prince Hatohiko of Asaka Palace, King Fuhiko's status can be described as extremely honorable in Japan!And he might have died on the battlefield in China!

Even if he didn't die, the mere fact that his saber had been captured by the Chinese army was enough to put a huge shame on King Fuyan!It even shamed the entire royal family!Therefore, the aristocratic class in Japan urgently needs to know what is going on with King Fuyan!
If you die on the battlefield, that's okay.But if he is captured by Chinese soldiers, then Temple Shouichi must put King Fuyan on the roster of being loyal to the country before the news is passed on!
But until now, no information about King Fuyan has been received, and the Komatsu Squadron has also lost contact.This cast a shadow over Shouichi's heart.

However, he can't tell anyone about this matter, and he can't even make a big fuss about it!Otherwise, once the national government knows about King Fuyan, it will definitely make a big fuss about it. At that time, the entire Japanese army will definitely be greatly affected by it.

In addition, at this time, the domestic sea-land dispute has intensified!The navy will never let go of this great opportunity to attack the army.

Moreover, Prince Zairen of Xianyuan Palace sent a telegram last night, telling him that after hearing the news of his beloved son's disappearance, King Jiuyan of Chaoxiang Palace was about to go crazy.He has already contacted high-level military and political officials everywhere, and is preparing to go to Shanghai in person to take up the post of commander-in-chief of the dispatched army, so that he can easily find King Fuyan.

Therefore, if Shouyi in the temple cannot resolve this matter as soon as possible and give a satisfactory explanation to the nobles in the country, then his dismissal is basically a certainty.And this time is about five days at most.

In addition, General Ueda Kenkichi, the former commander of the Kwantung Army who took over from him, has already taken up his post as the new commander of the North China Expeditionary Army.Then, if there is any mistake in this matter, the only result of Terauchi Shouyi is to resign and return to the country, become a mascot, and be shelved.

As a radical terrorist, this kind of result is unacceptable to Terauchi Shouichi.But for a while, he didn't have any good solutions. He could only pin his hopes on the Komatsu Squadron, hoping that they would bring good news.

"Report!!! Urgent call from the front line!!!" Just as Shouichi in Terauchi was anxious about King Fuyan, an urgent call came from the front line.

"Read!!!" Temple Shouichi said irritably.

"Hi! The 11rd, 13th, No.[-], and No.[-] divisions on the front line have sent telegrams, and the ammunition of the troops has been exhausted. Please replenish."

"I see, let's go down." Terauchi Shouichi suddenly felt his head hurt.

"Report! Emergency call from the front line!"

"Read!!!" Terauchi Shouichi suddenly felt that things were getting worse.

"Hi! No.16, the 18st Division and the [-]th, No.[-], and [-]th Division of the Tenth Army have reported that ammunition is seriously insufficient and cannot support continued operations. Request for supplies!" read.

"I see, call back the troops on the front line and tell them to stop pursuing and defend on the spot. Wait for the supplies to arrive before pursuing!" Terauchi Shouichi ordered.

"Hi!"

"Quartermaster! Immediately arrange to supply ammunition to the front line!" After the correspondent went down to call back, Terauchi Shouichi ordered the quartermaster.

"Report to the commander, our army has no ammunition reserves! Can't supply the front line!" The quartermaster replied.

"What!!! Baga! Why didn't you report this news to me!!!" After hearing the quartermaster's answer, Terauchi Shouichi was furious!Grabbing the quartermaster's collar, he sprayed indiscriminately in his face.

After the quartermaster who was forced to wash his face stopped in Temple Shoutai, he said to Shoutai Temple with difficulty: "Your Excellency, Commander, this news was reported to you last night. Have you forgotten???"

"En???" After hearing the quartermaster's difficult answer, Terauchi Shouichi recalled what happened last night.At that time, the quartermaster did report the situation to him.It's just that at that time, his mind was immersed in the matter of King Fuyan's saber, so he forgot about it.

After thinking of this incident, Terauchi Shouichi suddenly felt his face burning, and he put down the quartermaster who was still in his hand in embarrassment.

In order to ease the embarrassment, Terauchi Shouichi asked the quartermaster: "What about the batch of ammunition I brought over when I took office, have they been used up?"

"Your Excellency, Commander, you are talking about the ammunition of the ten transport planes that arrived together when you took office, right?" the quartermaster confirmed.

"That's right, those are the ones."

"As soon as the plane landed on that batch of ammunition, eight sorties of ammunition were distributed to all divisions except the Sixth Division, and the remaining two sorties of ammunition were put into storage."

"But, last night, the ammunition for the last two sorties was exhausted after replenishing the front line." The quartermaster responded.
