Chapter 50 Dreamland
"Well, then, let's continue to study the next battle plan." Sugiyama Moto said after seeing Prince Zairen quickly suppressed his temper.

"Hi, Your Excellency the Minister."

"Judging from the current battlefield situation, the Chinese army has completed the encirclement of the SH urban area, thus firmly trapping our army inside."

"As far as our army is concerned, in addition to the loss of troops, what is even more troublesome is the lack of a high-level command system. Although it has been urgently ordered to be replaced by the commander of the North China Front Army, General Terauchi Shouichi, it is estimated that it will take at least one day to arrive. .

The other is the loss of reloading firepower!The three heavy artillery brigades deployed in Shanghai before the war, the fifth heavy artillery brigade and the sixth heavy artillery brigade, were raided by the Chinese army last night, causing all the artillery to be damaged and have lost their combat effectiveness.

Although the First Heavy Artillery Brigade did not suffer losses, due to the explosion of the ammunition depot, it was impossible to replenish the shells consumed, and it would soon lose its combat effectiveness. "

"Therefore, the top priority is to replenish the ammunition of the Shanghai Dispatch Army! This is the most important thing!" Prince Zairen first described the current situation of the Shanghai Dispatch Army, and then said the next priority task!

Prince Zairen knew very well that the strong combat effectiveness of the Japanese army was based on the 120 rounds of ammunition and two grenades carried by each soldier.

The reserve ammunition attached to the army, after replenishing the little devils after last night's infighting and this morning's fight, has basically been exhausted at this moment.

If the only ammunition in total of 120 is consumed, the only weapon left in the hands of each little devil is a bayonet.

Therefore, replenishing ammunition is the top priority now!
"Do you have a plan to replenish it from? Your Royal Highness." Sugiyama Moto asked.

"Mobilize the Kwantung Army's inventory, join the Second Heavy Artillery Brigade at the port, and head to Shanghai together! The Kwantung Army will be completed after it is produced by Fengtian Arsenal." Prince Zairen said.

"As for the Second Heavy Artillery Brigade located in the northeast of China, it should have received the order to be incorporated into the Shanghai Expeditionary Force to join the battle. But in this way, their arrival time will definitely be delayed." Moto Sugiyama reminded.

"I know that it will take at least seven days. I believe that the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire can resist in Shanghai for seven days. And I am going to release the news, and I will use Ishihara Waner as the envoy to discuss the truce in a week. Matters! What's more, just relying on those Chinese people who have no courage, how can they be the opponents of our Great Japanese Imperial Army!" Prince Zairen said proudly.

Prince Zairen, who has experienced, personally participated in and even personally formulated such events as Sino-Japanese War, Eight-Power Allied Forces, Northeast Incident, Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, North China Incident, January [-] Songhu Anti-Japanese War, etc., has never looked down on China from the bottom of his heart.

After all, almost half a century of wanting, wanting, and wanton killing really made him unable to have the slightest awe of this ancient country!

In addition to the previous incidents, Chiang Kai-shek relied on the League of Nations to ask his grandfather to sue his grandmother and let the European and American countries come out to mediate.In addition, European and American countries do not want a country in Asia that can wrestle with them, which makes Japan's previous abacus fail, otherwise, Japan would have started a long time ago.

In his subconscious mind, China is the fat in that bowl.He can eat what he wants and when he wants.

The only thing to pay attention to is that this piece of meat is too fragrant, and there are many hungry wolves surrounding it, so eat it quickly, and don't let those white-skinned pigs snatch it away!

Moreover, as a soldier, he also knows what it means for Chiang Kai-shek to form a German weapon division.This means that Chiang Kai-shek has begun to strengthen the construction of force.If the execution of the German weapon master's plan is completed, then the fat piece of China will pick up the knife and put on the armor, and he will have the confidence to say no to Japan.

Therefore, on the one hand, he hopes to occupy Shanghai as soon as possible, and before Europe and the United States react and intervene, it will cause a fait accompli and obtain enough benefits for Japan!

The other side is to smother the seeds of elite troops like the German Armor in the cradle!Destroy the hopes of the national government and the illusions of the Chinese people!
And this is also the reason why he made such a risky decision!
Sugiyama Moto looked at Prince Zairen's resolute expression, and after understanding his mission in his heart, he said: "Since His Excellency the Chief of Staff has made a decision, please give the order, and I will go to His Majesty the Emperor for instructions."

Seeing Sugiyama Yuan go to the palace again, Prince Zairen was even more angry!As the de facto controller of the Japanese army, there was an incident of internal strife among the dispatched troops in Shanghai and the explosion of the ammunition depot. These two incidents were enough to greatly reduce his status in Hirohito's heart!

He understands that no matter whether he handles this matter well or not, as long as the Shanghai Dispatch Army finally achieves its goal, he will be the same as before.If the goal is not achieved, then his retirement is only a matter of time.

Shanghai, Du Mansion.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" suddenly came from Ma Chao's room.

"Dangdang, Young Master Ma, what's wrong with you? Did something happen?" Wan Molin who was going upstairs hurriedly knocked on the door and said.

"Steward Wan, wait a moment, I'll be out soon." In the room, Ma Chao quickly responded after Wan Molin finished speaking.

Ma Chao had been awake for a while, and he didn't sleep well last night. He had been guessing what Chiang Kai-shek was thinking, and fell asleep in a daze.But in his sleep, his nerves were also tense.Until he dreamed that the corpses of Nanjing City were strewn all over the fields, and the ground was stained with blood!
Soaked and swollen corpses floated on the blood-red water of the Yangtze River. They were close together one by one, covering the rolling river.

Ma Chao walked along the path by the river.

"Can you save my child? Please, please save my child. Please!" A naked woman with disheveled hair and whose face could not be seen clearly sat on the ground not far away and cried, her arms tightly holding a child tightly.

The child was pale, face up, eyes closed, and appeared to be asleep.But as he looked down, a thin red gauze was tied around the child's neck.

Ma Chao took two steps forward, trying to help the woman up.

"Sister, let's get up and talk. I..." But when he put his hand on the woman's arm and tried to lift it up, he saw the woman's body fall backwards.

The woman who fell on the ground kept saying, "Can you save my child? Please, save my child. Please! Save my child!"

"Plop" Ma Chao was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, his lips trembling, and he couldn't say anything.His hands were scratching randomly on the ground, as if looking for something that could make him feel safe.It wasn't until he grabbed a round stone and held it tightly with both hands that he felt a lot more at ease.

"Uncle, you hurt me!" At this moment, the stone that Ma Chao was holding tightly made a sound.Ma Chao's body froze, he lowered his head tremblingly and looked down,
"Uh~~~~~~~" An unknown voice came out from Ma Chao's throat.

"Uncle, do you think I'm cute!" The little boy looked at Ma Chao closely with innocent eyes, and the slightly raised corners of his eyes made the little boy look even cuter.

"why?"

"why?"

"why?"

"why?"

"why?"

Countless shrill voices asked Ma Chao why!yeah why?

"what!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Ma Chao, who stood up suddenly, was covered in cold sweat and his face was pale.
