Zhong Yi was busy rectifying the defeated troops, and Japan was not idle either.
After Headquarters Deputy Chief of Staff Shun Tada and Chief of Operations Shimomura Sada entered the palace and reported to Hirohito the defeat in Nanjing, Hirohito immediately issued an order to have Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro, Foreign Minister Hirota Koki, Army Chief of Staff Kanin Miyazahito, and Minister of War Sugiyama Gen and other ministers went to Zichen Palace to attend the imperial meeting.
Tokyo time is one hour ahead of Nanjing time.
It¡¯s just dawn here in Nanjing, but it¡¯s already bright in Tokyo.
Although the sun is shining brightly outside, the Zichen Hall in the Imperial Palace is still air-conditioned.
Hirohito, who was kneeling on the throne, had a gloomy expression, while the military and political ministers who were kneeling on the tatami mats on both sides of the stairs all looked trembling, not even daring to take a breath.
Everything starts from the Nanjing battlefield.
Last night, the situation on the Nanjing battlefield suddenly took a turn for the worse!
Fortunately, the hundreds of thousands of Nationalist troops who had taken refuge in the safe zone suddenly launched a riot, which eventually led to large-scale riots throughout Nanjing.
The imperial army stationed in Nanjing was frantically attacked by the rebels!
Faced with the riot, the commander of the Tenth Army, Asaka Miyakohiko, advocated suppression and issued orders to the 6th Division and the 114th Division to raid the city.
However, Matsui Iwane, the commander-in-chief of the Condemnation Army sent to Shanghai and the commander-in-chief of the Central China Front Army, believed that the results of sending large forces into the city to raid the city when the enemy's situation was unknown were unpredictable. In name, the 6th Division and the 114th Division were directly given orders not to enter the city.
This move angered King Jiuyan of Asaka Palace, and he sent telegrams to the base camp continuously, asking the base camp to uphold justice!
In the end, due to the lack of main reinforcements outside the city, the 7th Infantry Regiment and the 9th Infantry Regiment that had entered the city to sweep away the city, as well as the 13th Infantry Regiment, the 45th Infantry Regiment, and the 6th Field Artillery Regiment that attacked Xinjiekou The regiment, the 10th Regiment of the Independent Field Heavy Artillery, and the 5th Brigade of the Independent Siege Heavy Artillery were completely wiped out by the Chinese Army!
Not only that, the flag of the 9th Infantry Regiment was also captured by the Chinese Army!
This was definitely an unacceptable defeat for the Japanese invaders!
Since the Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese army has rarely suffered defeats against the Chinese army, and a disastrous defeat like the one in Nanjing last night has never happened!
The flags of the 9th Infantry Regiment were all captured. What a shame!
In the Zichen Palace, Hirohito remained silent, and none of the military and political ministers who attended the meeting dared to say a word.
The atmosphere in the entire hall seemed to be frozen, so overwhelming that people could hardly breathe.
At this moment, an attendant suddenly walked into the hall in a hurry, climbed the steps, and handed a telegram into Hirohito's hand.
After Hirohito read the telegram, he immediately sneered twice, picked up the telegram in his hand and said: "Gentlemen, this is the telegram just sent by Matsui-kun, saying that he is suffering from an old illness and is no longer able to perform his duties as the commander of the Shanghai Condemnation Force. , let me still have the base camp and select a competent general to go to Nanjing to replace him."
After hearing this, Shun Tada immediately said: "Your Majesty, Matsui Iwane is trying to evade responsibility! Any old illness has relapsed. This is an excuse, an excuse! I don't believe it. His lung disease will not relapse earlier or later, but this Time to attack? Before, I heard someone mention that Matsui Iwane¡¯s body is very healthy!¡±
Army Minister Motoya Sugiyama echoed: "Yes, Matsui Iwane is trying to evade responsibility!"
Shimomura Sadaya knelt down and sat up and said: "Your Majesty, four infantry regiments plus two and a half artillery regiments were lost in the Nanjing battlefield at one time. Such a heavy loss, Matsui Iwane, as the commander of the Shanghai Condemnation Army and the Commander-in-Chief of the Central China Front , has an unshirkable responsibility, he must be responsible for this failure!"
After Shimomura Sada expressed his opinion, other military and political officials also agreed.
If Matsui Iwane was present and saw this scene, he would be furious to death.
What does it mean to be overwhelmed by the crowd? This is like overthrowing the wall. Among the many military and political officials who participated in the imperial meeting, none of them spoke for him. They all thought that he should bear the responsibility!
Listening to the military and political officials present at the meeting crusade against Matsui Iwane, Hirohito's face darkened little by little.
All the military and political officials are saying that Matsui Iwane should bear the responsibility, but the reason is that Matsui Iwane is the commander of the Shanghai Condemnation Force and the commander-in-chief of the Central China Front Army, so it is only natural that he should bear the responsibility! In other words, Matsui Iwane did not make any mistakes in command, he just assumed leadership responsibilities.
This is a protest! How smart is Hirohito? oneHe immediately realized that this was a tactful protest from the ministers!
??Obviously, the ministers were very dissatisfied with the imperial family's decision to send Asaka Miyakohiko to China to serve as the commander of the Tenth Army, so they used this method to protest to him!
At this moment, Hirohito was filled with regret.
In fact, Hirohito also knew that Asaka Miyakohiko was a man of great ambition and talent, but his original intention at that time was that the victory of the battle to capture Nanjing was already certain, and even if he sent a pig to serve as the commander of the Tenth Army, he could win a battle merit, so he Sent Asaka Palace Jiuyan.
Who would have thought that Zhong Yi and the 367th Regiment would appear on the Nanjing battlefield?
Who would have thought that a battle that was already won would end up like this?
¡°Had I known this, Hirohito would never have sent Asaka Miyako Hikohiko to China under any circumstances!
At this moment, Hirohito really hated Asaka Miyakohiko, this waste with great ambition and little talent!
Fortunately, it¡¯s not too late to make amends. Although the Nanjing battlefield suffered a heavy defeat, the Imperial Japanese Army still has an absolute advantage. As long as they don¡¯t make any more mistakes in the next battle, they still have the chance to win!
At that moment, Hirohito waved his hand to stop the condemnation of the ministers and said: "Stop talking, gentlemen, I know what you mean. The person who is really responsible for this is not the commander-in-chief Matsui Iwane, but my imperial uncle. The commander of the Tenth Army, King Chaoxiang Palace Jiuyan, had he not been stubborn and stubborn, the Battle of Nanjing would never have been defeated like this!"
The ministers who attended the meeting lowered their heads one after another, and by remaining silent they acquiesced to Hirohito's statement.
Hirohito sighed inwardly, and turned to the Minister of the Imperial Household, Matsudaira Keimin, and said: "Matsuhira-kun, please immediately call the Tenth Army and ask King Asaka Palace Hatohiko to return to Tokyo to report on his duties. As for the command of the Tenth Army, he can temporarily leave it to Ina. Ye Shiro!"
After a pause, he continued: "In addition, call the imperial embassy in Paris immediately and ask the embassy staff to immediately find King Jiuyan of the East Jiure Palace and tell him about the defeat of King Jiuyan of the Asuka Palace in Nanjing!"
"Hai!" Songping Qingmin bowed deeply, then got up from the tatami and left. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
