The Dawei Cabinet, known as the puppet cabinet, finally came up with a resolution at noon the next day. In fact, this was the result of the quarrel after the military quarrel. The two factions that expanded the war and did not expand the war. The result of the quarrel was naturally unable to convince the other party. After a dozen hours of quarrel, there was no result. When I was about to continue the quarrel in the morning, Meiji Yuan Lao Yama Prefecture Akito appeared at the venue.

The appearance of Yutoto of Yama County brought an end to this quarrel. No matter how awesome Japanese soldiers were, they would not dare to be stubborn with Yutoto of Yama County. Yutoto of Yama County, who arrived at the venue, turned his attention to Nagata Tetsuyama, who had no chance to speak at the meeting.

"Are you Nagata Tengshan, the future star of the Land University?" Yama Prefecture asked with a serious expression. At this time, Nagata Tengshan was still a small shrimp. This time and space are known as the "future star", and have not yet become the leader of the commander, nor have they been known as the number one brain of the Japanese army. Of course, the Japanese have this problem and like to exaggerate historical figures and historical events. For example, in Japan's so-called Warring States Period, it was essentially a war between a group of village chiefs, and later developed into a war of county-level units. When it reached its peak, it barely became a war between prefecture-level cities, and that's all.

"Your Excellency, this is a colleague's reputation! I never dare to boast about myself!" Nagata Tieshan was so obedient that he could not be more obedient in front of Youpeng in Shan County.

"I know your opinion, eight to ten divisions, have you ever thought about what consequences will be if the empire expands the war to this level?" Shanxian Youtuo was playful, but his tone was calm.

"I never thought that I only knew that the empire could not be defeated. China is a great power. Once it wins, even if it is a small victory, the people's spirit will be greatly improved. I have studied Fang Jianxiong, chairman of the China Military Commission, who is very good at using foreign incidents to enhance the morale of the army and the people. During the 1911 incident in China, he challenged Britain. This time his goal was the empire, and my judgment was that he even did not hesitate to fight the whole country. The active army of China is 64 infantry divisions, plus cavalry units, with a strength of one million. It took only three years for Fang Jianxiong to develop from a few infantry divisions to today. The man in charge of China is too terrible. Once this war empire ends in failure, it will not be able to conquer China within a hundred years."

"Baga!" An officer next to him shouted angrily, trying to stop Nagata's speech. Yutoto Yama County had a small eye. White hair was raised on his head, and a look was pressed over. The officer immediately shut up and lowered his head. "You continue talking!" Yuto Yama County was facing the Tetsuyama Road in Nagata.

"I think the intelligence departments of the Imperial General Staff and the military headquarters have had serious misjudgment on the battle of the Chinese army. The current Chinese army, with the help of the Germans, has a considerable combat effectiveness after being equipped with a large amount of new equipment. Among them, the combat effectiveness of the twenty-four A-type divisions is particularly outstanding and must not be taken lightly. In my judgment, it is reasonable to dispatch ten divisions to win the Qingdao War. At least no less than eight."

Yama Prefecture Akitomi Okashi Nosuke, the military chief showed a hint of distress. Yama Prefecture Akitomi nodded and said, "I understand. Everyone, the news I just received was that a destroyer of the Navy was sunk by a Chinese submarine, and the three cargo ships also suffered the same fate. The military chief should think of the cabinet's proposal to expand the army to twenty standing divisions."

The navy was actually sunk another destroyer? It consumed huge military spending every year, but was repeatedly defeated by the weak and negligible naval companies in China. The competition between the Japanese army and navy was really fierce this year.

After Okuma Shigeshinobu came to power, he has been promoting the establishment of twenty standing divisions of the Army, and the Navy refused to give in. Even because of the Siemens bribery case, he did not make any concessions on this issue. Now the opportunity has come, the need for the Qingdao war and the need for punishment for violent support. In addition to the poor performance of the Navy, the Army finally found an opportunity. The matter of reinforcement of Qingdao seems to have become a different topic.

What Marshal Fang didn't expect was this result. The submarine touched the Japanese Navy's fleet and created an opportunity for the army.

Under the leadership of Yutomoto Yama Prefecture, the military headquarters quickly reached an agreement. There were not many naval forces in China, but the army had developed rapidly in recent years. This result was reflected in the passiveness of the Imperial Team in the Qingdao War. It was precisely because the Chinese army was huge and could easily mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops equipped with German weapons to fight that the battle in Qingdao was deadlocked. On the contrary, the navy occupied a large part of military expenditure every year, but could not even deal with submarines. What is reality is that threats from land need to increase investment in the Japanese army.

First raise the issue to this level, and then Okachi Nosuke went to the cabinet meeting on behalf of the Army Department, put forward the request to increase ten divisions and set up the request to set up a standing division. Reinforcement of Qingdao is an urgent task, but there were differences on the issue of how many troops were increased. In the end, it could only be a compromise, increase the strength of the three divisions and invest in the Qingdao battlefield. As for the matter of the standing division, the Navy still refused to give in. This was related to long-term interests and could not be negotiated in one or two meetings.

So on the one hand, the increase in troops was stepped up, and on the other hand, the quarrel continued. The purpose of the increase in troops, in the words of the cabinet, was to pursue a decent end. The Japanese government was really out of money. To the outside world, the Japanese government continued to be tough and issued a statement saying that the Chinese government and its army were willing to use violent means of war to prevent the Japanese army from attacking Qingdao. The Great Japanese Imperial Army repeatedly tolerated but failed. So far, the Chinese army has caused a certain number of casualties in the Imperial Army through various military violence. Therefore, the cabinet issued this statement to punish the violent army. Three divisions of the increase in troops were

The regiment is the largest combat financial support that the Japanese government can support. If the war is expanded, the Japanese government's finances will inevitably go bankrupt. The victory of the Russo-Japanese War was supported by large loans. Every year, Japan still pays interest to Britain and the United States, but have you seen Japanese women selling x-for-exchange in Nanyang? Many years later, there was a movie called "Looking at Home" that tells the story of these women. After the introduction of such a movie, the rabbit was edited in a mess, and all the discordant shots were killed. Just like that, the film became popular all over the country.

Without mentioning gossip, the Japanese government's statement was issued and soon spread to Weifang. The three divisions of the army wanted to punish the violent army, and almost laughed off the big teeth of the General Fang. They were not afraid of Japan's army, but were afraid of Japan's full-scale war. Unexpectedly, the Japanese government made mistakes again and again. In fact, it was not the Japanese government's fault, but after some deduction, the Japanese military headquarters believed that adding three divisions would win all the A-level divisions of the Chinese army. Of course, this is the statement that both face and inner strength were needed, but in fact it was because the government had no money.

After the inefficient Japanese military and government made a statement, the most critical moment on the battlefield of Pingdu was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still three hours before dark. Kamio Mitsumon was working hard to continue to expand the results of the other side, and he did not hesitate to invest in the final reserve team's 24th Mixed Brigade, hoping to defeat the China army before dark and enter Pingdu.

The battle between the two sides reached a fierce peak before dark. The Japanese army entered the final reserve team and launched a decisive charge to the National Defense Forces position. The Japanese army holding rifles shouted long live to launch an attack, which was very imminent to look at death.

It seemed that this momentum had played a role. After half an hour of investing in the reserve team, the Japanese army successfully broke through one position after another. Kamio Mitsumon kept receiving good news. The Chinese army was retreating across the line, and the Imperial Army successfully advanced two kilometers and could already see Pingdu's city wall.

Victory is in sight! Flatness is in sight!

The National Defense Forces' chariot brigade was quietly hidden behind a slope, behind Liu Yutang's 21st Division, more than 10,000 Hu Ben from the land of Hunan. Liu Yutang's division is a very special unit in the National Defense Forces, and 90% of the entire division are from Hunan. In modern times, "no Hunan can form an army", which is not a waste of time. The Hunan Army is brave and fierce, dares to fight and fight. During the Beiyang rule in history, Duan Qirui always wanted to deal with the south, but was stuck in Hunan. Wearing straw sandals, neither of them did a Hunan army built by Hanyang, and the elite Beiyang Army fought in Yangsilou could not move forward.

In this time and space, the Hunan Army received attention from General Fang, with twenty-four A-type divisions, four of which were composed of the Hunan Army as the main force.

Liu Yutang's face was as deep as water. He looked down at the watch. The pointer was ticking and pointed to 4:30, Liu Yutang let out an roar: "Start!"

More than a hundred artillery roared neatly at 30:00! In an instant, a barrage was created, cutting off the Japanese army that was attacking frantically, and then the artillery fire extended backwards. While the artillery fired, thirty-six Great Wall-type tanks of the chariot brigade ignited at the same time, making a harsh roar, spewing thick smoke and pungent smell. Then the infantry stood up one after another, the tanks jumped to the earth slope, and the infantry followed in a formation of scattered soldiers.

The Japanese army, which was attacking wildly, did not retreat in the face of artillery fire. This was expected. Pingdu was right in front of him. As long as he rushed forward a little, he could be entangled with the Chinese army, and their cannons would not play a greater role.

The Japanese army, which was as powerful as a rainbow, never expected a scene to appear. One by one, moving fortresses suddenly appeared on the battlefield, spraying black smoke, making strange screams, lined up, and pounced on the Japanese army that was racing.

Xia Xiang wanted to drive the chariot to rush to kill himself, but unfortunately the discipline of the National Defense Forces was suppressing him, so he had to slowly follow up on the command car behind. The tanks lined up in a long snake formation, and every 100 meters there was a 37 gun fired continuously, heavy machine guns sprayed flames, and the continuous tank line was like a moving Great Wall, suddenly blocking the Japanese army's way forward.
