In the Japanese homeland, the Japanese Chief of Staff, Prince Zain, soon received the bad news that the division commander Ueda had been seriously injured in an air raid by a group of enemy aircraft of unknown origin.
"What! Lieutenant General Ueda was injured by a group of enemy planes? His life or death is uncertain?"
"Bagayalu! What on earth is going on?"
"He is the current commander-in-chief of the Songhu Battle! He was seriously injured, so who will continue to command the battle in his place?"
"And as the division commander, how could he be attacked by enemy aircraft for no reason?"
"Has his headquarters been exposed? Or is he underestimating the enemy? Or are there traitors in our army who sell out intelligence, or are intelligence agents from the China Army lurking in our army?"
"Shouldn't he hide his headquarters well? How could he be so careless?"
After the Chief of Staff, Prince Zain, read the telegram,
He suddenly had an expression of disbelief in his eyes and exclaimed.
Because he never dreamed that the division commander Ueda had just arrived in Songhu and not long after commanding the operation, he had already suffered an uncertain air raid.
And until now, the intelligence agencies have not found out for him which group of enemy planes were sent by those forces.
However, after being surprised, Prince Zairen, Chief of Staff, became more and more agitated. Who should he find to replace the command position of Division Commander Ueda? Moreover, it was still on the Songhu side, not on the mainland side.
If you want to dispatch officers there immediately, even if you fly there, it will take a certain amount of time.
"Damn it! If this is the case, then we can only let the 9th Division and the Kurume Brigade temporarily retreat and rest!"
"Let the Army Ministry select the best commander today and fly it over immediately to take over the combat command of the Ninth Division and the command of the Kurume Brigade!"
"Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro must know about this matter, and he must tell His Majesty!"
"I can't decide this matter alone!"
Then, Prince Zain, the Chief of Staff, who had regained his composure, kept walking back and forth in his room, muttering to himself.
Immediately, he made the final decision.
Soon, he personally called Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro to report that the division commander Ueda was bombed by a group of enemy planes and his life or death was uncertain.
The residence of Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro,
Soon, he also received a call from Chief of Staff Prince Zai Ren.
After listening to his report, his expression immediately changed drastically.
"Baga! How could this happen?"
"What do these War Department guys do for a living?"
"They started the war, but they have such strength now?"
"It hasn't been long since the war started, and even the division commander's headquarters was bombed by a group of enemy planes?"
"Even the division commander's life or death is uncertain?"
"Baga! They are even more unreliable than those Marines!"
"I told you not to expand the war! Stabilize the Northeast occupied area!"
When Chief of Staff Prince Zain hung up the phone,
Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro suddenly became grumpy and roared.
Throughout the Prime Minister's residence, his voice could be heard insulting the War Department.
But no one dared to say a word,
When Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro vented his rage,
He also immediately asked people to prepare a car and prepare to enter the palace to meet their Majesty and make an emergency report. The division leader Ueda was bombed by an air raid and was knocked unconscious and his life or death was uncertain.
