"Your Excellency, General, Jiangyin Fortress has been lost, and Wang Laohu's Third Army has crossed the Yangtze River."

"Chinese paratroopers land in Ningbo!"

"The outer positions of Hangzhou have been lost, and the Chinese army is about to launch a general attack on Hangzhou."

"Chinese battleships appeared in Shanghai, and the cannons began to roar."

"The Chinese Marine Corps landed in Baoshan, and the Thirteenth Army requested support."

"Dangtu, Caishi fell, and the Chinese army came towards Nanjing!"

………

On the morning of the 27th, the ears of General Hata Shunroku, commander of Japan's China Expeditionary Force, were full of bad news.

Every news is fatal.

Shunroku Hata felt like a small snake that was grasped seven inches by someone. His body could still twist and struggle a few times, but his fate was already doomed.

Must die!

The Chinese attack was extremely fierce, and even the Japanese and Chinese dispatched troops were unable to resist it when they were completely victorious.

Shunroku Hata slumped in his chair, his eyes blank and weak.

The situation of the war has changed. If the Japanese Army sticks to its old ways, it must bear the consequences of sticking to its old ways.

The midday sun was scorching the earth, and hot wind blew in through the windows.

Shunroku Hata raised his eyelids, but instead of feeling warm, he felt even colder. He shrank his neck.

No one thought about eating anymore. Everyone in the dispatched army headquarters was so busy that only Shunroku Hata didn't know what he could do.

Haremiya Jun, the chief of staff who had disappeared for a long time, appeared in front of Shunroku Hata again and brought him bad news.

"The two divisions of the Huang Xie Army responsible for defending Chijin Mountain mutinied. The imperial army was attacked from both sides and could not prevent the armored group army from entering Jiangsu."

Shunroku Hata glanced at the location of Chijin Mountain on the map, waved his hand and said:

"Let the troops withdraw!"

The armored armies were coming with such ferocity that the warriors of the Empire could not defeat them on the plains.

Shunroku Hata is looking forward to a close match in Nanjing.

This is the only thing he can do.

"The base camp asked about the war situation in East China, how should I report it?" Harem Chun asked.

Shame flashed in Hata Shunroku's eyes. He felt that he had failed the emperor's trust.

After half a minute of silence, he said in a low tone:

"Report it truthfully!"

"Report to the base camp in detail what happened to our troops, hoping they can learn lessons from it."

"Hi Yi!" Harem Chun replied frustratedly.

After the 3rd Army crossed the Yangtze River in Jiangyin, the Japanese troops in Nanjing, Shanghai, Hangzhou and other places were separated.

Everywhere was under fierce attack, and they were too overwhelmed to provide support to each other.

The situation of the battle is extremely clear.

Japan's China Expeditionary Force will be completely wiped out like the Kwantung Army!

Everything they are doing now is a struggle before death.

After realizing this, Harem Chun also dragged a chair and sat down.

He was half-regretful, but said helplessly:

"I have been preparing for such a long time and thought of many countermeasures. I didn't expect... I didn't expect that in the face of absolute strength, all these efforts would be in vain!"

Shunroku Hata nodded weakly in response.

Harem Chun continued:

"A dozen imperial generals have already died at the hands of Jiangdong, haha... we should meet them at the Yasukuni Shrine."

Hata Shunroku looked at Haremiya Jun's words, which meant that he didn't want to hear these depressing words anymore.

Harem Chun smiled bitterly and changed the subject.

"Your Excellency, General, do you have anything to say to the base camp and His Majesty the Emperor? We should send it out as soon as possible while the radio can still be used."

"The Chinese are becoming more and more unscrupulous. Their fighter planes keep appearing over Nanjing City. The low-altitude ones almost hit the city tower."

As long as the Chinese want to, the headquarters of the dispatched troops can disappear from the ground at any time.

There was some sparkle in Hata Shunroku's eyes, and he forced himself to write down what he wanted to say to the emperor.

When the sun sets on the 27th, the battle situation has basically been finalized, and the next step is the finishing work.

………

Jiangdong stood on the ruined Jiangyin Fortress, looking along the Yangtze River to the entire south of the Yangtze River.

The crossing operation went extremely smoothly, and the Japanese were as vulnerable as chickens and dogs.

This reminded Jiangdong of the Battle of Crossing the River that took place in another time and space.

Millions of troops crossed the Yangtze River, and the National Government, backed by imperialist countries, collapsed.

The speed of its defeat was unparalleled, somewhat similar to today's Japan-China Expeditionary Force.

Defeat is like a mountain, it is never as simple as an idiom.

The Corps of Engineers built a pontoon bridge on the wide river. The personnel and equipment of the Sixth Corps will reach the south bank of the Yangtze River through the pontoon bridge.

The war situation has been decided, and Jiangdong has already begun to daydream about what will happen after the war.

"Well, we should build more bridges on the Yangtze River."

"One bridge flies from north to south, and the chasm becomes a thoroughfare!"

He thought a little boldly.

The river breeze blew against the knife-like face, taking away the heat and bringing coolness.

Not far from Jiangdong, Rocket Force technicians were checking the strike effect of Dongfeng-1.

Only 5 out of 10 missiles hit the target, and the failure rate was 50%.

This made Rocket Force Commander Gao Wen lower his head deeply, feeling ashamed and speechless.

The probability of the Third Reich v2 missile hitting the target is about 50%~70%.

The development of missiles was bumpy and bumpy, and Jiangdong did not blame the experts and professors at the Academy of Military Science.

I just hope they can collect sufficient test data and improve Dongfeng 1 as soon as possible.

China's missile research is at the forefront of the world, and Jiangdong does not want scientists from Britain, the United States and other countries to catch up.

The sun has disappeared on the western horizon, and the river reflects the sunset with sparkling light.

………

"Principal, everyone, Jiangdong has shown us a brand new form of warfare!" Chen Cheng, director of the Military and Political Department of the Military Commission, said to the crowd:

"The trinity of sea, land and air, infantry, artillery, armored airborne troops... multi-arm coordination."

"New tactics and strategies, new forms of warfare!"

"This is extremely rare in the entire anti-fascist battlefield."

"Perhaps...perhaps the combat form of the 6th Corps has surpassed that of all countries in the world. Within a certain scope or under certain conditions, they are the strongest!"

After the Battle of Crossing the Yangtze River began, a group of senior officers on the Military Commission did not rest for a day and had been paying attention to the situation in Nanjing, Shanghai and other places.

The firepower of the 6th Corps exceeded their imagination, and their combat methods were even more novel and rare.

After listening to Chen Cheng's words, everyone including the principal nodded.

It was a very wise choice to give places such as Nanjing and Shanghai to Jiangdong.

At the beginning, everyone would be proud of the difference of the 6th Corps.

But this emotion only lasted for a short time, and then it turned into sour envy.

The battle situation was decided. The chairman sighed deeply in his heart and turned to ask He Yingqin.

"Can Xue Boling win Guangdong within a week and make the government proud?"

He Yingqin said hesitantly:

"The equipment of the German armorers is better than that of the Japanese, and the training of the soldiers is not bad either."

"Xue Boling has several times the strength of the Japanese 21st Army. Guangdong will definitely be recovered, but it is hard to say whether it will be within a week."

The chairman snorted coldly.

"Tell Xue Boling that it's good to be cautious, but don't restrict yourself too much."
