Chief of Staff of the Base Camp, Gong Zairen, said with shame:

"This disastrous defeat was indeed unexpected. In just half a day, more than 22,000 people were killed in the imperial army, which was an unprecedented shame and failure!

As the Chief of Staff, I have an unshirkable responsibility. Please punish your Majesty!”

Yuhito waved his hand quickly and said, "Uncle Emperor, please don't blame yourself. How can you blame you for this? I just regret that those idiots underestimate the enemy's carelessness. I have already ordered the fortress city to resist layer by layer. These idiots actually fought against the Chinese Tiger Army in the plains!"

Prince Sairen of Shinin-Miya was the uncle of Emperor Showa. During the Showa period, he was the important official in charge of the army and one of the culprits in the war of aggression against China.

During the Russo-Japanese War, he showed his strength as a cavalry general. From the late September 18th Incident to the full invasion of China, he served as the chief of staff of the Japanese Army, commanding the war of aggression in China behind the scenes.

He issued every order for the Japanese invasion of China, and he played an irreplaceable role in the growth of the Japanese fascist army and the capture of Chinese territory.

Xianyuan Gong Zairen was cunning in his later years and no one dared to provoke him in the army. In fact, he became the leader of the army.

"Hayi! His Majesty the Emperor said so much!"

Deputy Chief of Staff Jun Tada quickly nodded and agreed, and then said: "But the situation this time is a bit special. The Chinese army used an extremely powerful tactic!

According to the analysis of Nojima Nakasa, this tactic is called blitzkrieg, and it is still in the theoretical research stage among German allies!”

Hirohito frowned and said, "Blitzkrieg? What kind of tactic is this? Since even German allies are in theoretical research, how could the Chinese army use this tactic?"

Tada Jung hurriedly replied: "Nojima Nakasa was only dabbled in when he was studying in Germany and did not learn the complete theory of war!

However, based on the information sent back, we can know that this tactic is to make full use of the quick advantages of aircraft, tanks and mechanized troops to defeat the enemy by surprise attacks!

This time, we are at a disadvantage. We know too little about this new tactic. The power of the tank cluster charge is too great, especially the opponent's tank defense is amazing. The Imperial Army lacks anti-tank weapons, and the Imperial Warriors have no way to effectively stop it!"

"Baga! How could this cunning Chinese commander be so difficult? Wouldn't that mean that we can't defeat the tank and armored forces of the Chinese Tiger Army?"

After listening carefully to Tada Jun’s explanation and analysis, Hirohito’s expression became very ugly!

"That's not the case!"

Tada Shun said, "The most effective way to fight this tactic is air bombing, but the air force of the Chinese Tiger Army is also quite powerful!

This time, the Imperial Air Force suffered a huge loss. I really don’t know where they got so many advanced fighter jets!”

Army Minister Seishiro Itagaki nodded and said, "That's true. If it weren't for the Flying Tigers of the Chinese Tiger Army, the Imperial Army would never have been defeated in such a crushing defeat!"

Seishiro Itagaki was filled with sadness. He fought with Yang Fan many times, but never happened to be bloody when he was in trouble, but eventually left the position of division commander with regret and shame!

Although he has been promoted now, Seishiro Itagaki is more eager to gallop on the battlefield and gain more achievements in expanding territory!

Tada Jun then said: "In addition, tank troops can also be used to fight against it, or a large number of anti-tank war anti-aircraft artillery, anti-tank mines and other weapons!

And these are also our current shortcomings of the army, and it is particularly difficult to face a powerful opponent like the Chinese Tiger Army!"

"Baga! If I had known this, before they became popular, they should have killed them with all their might no matter how much they would pay!"

Yuhito felt extremely regretful. If he only lost a few divisions and lost some territory, he would not be a big deal. He was afraid that the Hu Ben Army would develop too fast and even completely out of control!

Zairen of Xianyuan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. The powerful national strength of the empire will never stagnate due to some minor setbacks!

We just lack sufficient awareness and attention to this Chinese army. As long as we make timely corrections, we can not only turn the tide, but also make a blessing in disguise!”

"Suoga! What the emperor's uncle said is extremely true!"

Hirohito's expression was slightly slower, and he suffered heavy damage and failures in Yang Fan's hands again and again. Not to mention the frontline officers and soldiers, even the noble emperor, even he, began to become unconfident and shaken!

Tada Jun continued: "Your Majesty, in addition to the need to speed up the renewal of weapons and equipment, our combat theory must also be updated. I suggest sending more outstanding officers to Germany for training!"

"Yo Xi! I'm sure!"

Hirohito nodded without hesitation, then his eyes lit up: "This kind of lightning tactic is so effective! Why can't we use it? Although it is difficult for the Chinese Tiger Army, it should be OK for the large-scale national-controlled areas!"

Tada Jun smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, there are too few plains in southern China now, and the terrain is very complex, which is not suitable for large-scale mechanized combat!

If we had known about this blitzkrieg in advance in the battlefield of North China and Songhu, we would have made great achievements. Maybe we could really destroy China in three months!"

"Yes, it's such a pity!"

Hirohito sighed helplessly.

Tada Jun said at this time: "However, this tactic is still worth further research and improvement. Our northern enemy, the Soviet Union, has an extremely vast plain area, which will definitely work very well at that time!"

"Let's talk about this later! Our most important task at present is to end the Wuhan Battle as soon as possible and force the Chinese National Government to surrender as soon as possible! Then concentrate our efforts and completely eliminate the Chinese Tiger Army!"

Hirohito waved his hand speechlessly. He was beaten up by the Soviet Union before. Although he got a lot of benefits from the Germans, the Japanese army can't beat the Soviet Union at present!

Tada Jun paused his head and said, "Your Majesty is wise! At present, Wuhan area has gathered millions of Chinese troops. The imperial warriors have encountered extremely tenacious resistance and it is difficult to end the battle in a short time!

So I suggest taking a different approach and landing in the Guangzhou port to fight. On the one hand, we can completely block China's external ports, and on the other hand, we can go north along the railway line to attack Wuhan!"

"Suoga! Then you can discuss a feasible plan after you go down and then hand it over to me!"

After listening to the suggestions of Tada Jun and others, Hirohito nodded after thinking about it. As long as the battle in Wuhan can be ended as soon as possible, any method can be considered!

Time flies and August 22nd.

"My God, I can finally get ashore! Haha, the weather is so good today!"

"Yes, it's not easy to have more than 10,000 kilometers!"

"Haha, I didn't expect that I actually came to the United States!"
Chapter completed!
