Chapter 191: Enthusiastic Citizens Support The German-equipped Troops
Zhou Wenhua’s German-equipped troops suddenly appeared and quickly took over the defense of the entire Beiping City, which not only shocked Mayor Zhang Zizhong endlessly but also alarmed all the citizens of Beiping City, especially those who had been trembling in fear of the Japanese Army because the 29th Route Army had secretly evacuated at midnight, fearing that the Japanese Army would attack and occupy the city at any moment, and carry out arson, killing, looting, and plundering,
They were also the first to notice these German-equipped troops, and their faces were filled with incredulity, or they were dumbfounded and stunned.
Because they would never have dreamed that after the 29th Route Army troops left, an ace German-equipped troop even more elite than the 29th Route Army troops would suddenly appear.
“Hiss! What troops are these? When did so many of these troops we’ve never seen before come to our city? They aren’t Japanese Troops, are they!”
“They definitely aren’t Japanese Troops! Didn’t you see their military uniforms? Japanese military uniforms are yellow, and they have the rising sun flag, and if it were Japanese Troops killing their way in, we’d probably be in trouble by now. How could you be standing there safely watching the show?”
“Then what troops are these? Where did they come from?”
“They seem to be the Central Army’s German-equipped troops! I’ve seen them in newspapers and television news! But aren’t the Central Army’s German-equipped troops in the Southern Region? Why did they suddenly appear here? And why didn’t we hear a single whisper?”
“Yeah! So many troops—how did we not notice them? And when did they enter our city? Didn’t the 29th Route Army stop them?”
“Probably the 29th Route Army had no idea these elite German-equipped troops were coming! Otherwise, why would those cowardly, fearful guys flee entirely in the middle of the night while we were sleeping? Leaving us in danger from the Japanese invasion—I hate those cowardly, timid bastards!”
“Then… are we saved? From what you’re saying, are these newly arrived German-equipped troops more powerful in combat than our 29th Route Army? Can they drive away those Japanese Troops outside the city?”
“The newspapers say these German-equipped troops are elite ace troops with excellent weaponry and equipment, and rigorous training—definitely more powerful than our fleeing 29th Route Army! But whether they can drive away those Japanese Troops glaring like tigers outside, I don’t know. I only know a lot of Japanese Army has arrived outside now! I hear endless Japanese Troops are rushing over from places like Fengtai toward us. It seems those damned Japanese Invaders have huge ambitions! They want to occupy our place!”
“Then what do we do? Can we still escape now? My whole family is here—I don’t want to die under the Japanese Invaders’ slaughter!”
“How can we escape now? Our entire city is surrounded by Japanese Troops? If you take your whole family out now, wouldn’t that be sending sheep into the tiger’s mouth? No return?”
“Then what can we do?”
“Go assist these new troops in garrisoning our Beiping City! What else can we do besides that?”
“But will they accept that kind of support? We’re not familiar with them! And it hasn’t even been confirmed yet whether these are Central Army German-equipped troops coming to support us in holding fast to Beiping City!”
“If we go over and inquire, won’t we know?”
After Zhou Wenhua’s German-equipped troops quickly took over the entire city defenses of Beiping City,
It immediately stirred up all the citizens who hadn’t had time to evacuate or didn’t want to leave the city.
Especially those citizens who had originally fallen into panic and despair—they suddenly saw hope and confidence in resisting the Japanese Invaders.
Thus, all the citizens of the city boiled over, chattering heatedly with all sorts of comments.
And quite a few bold citizens also began trying to approach Zhou Wenhua’s German-equipped troops for communication and exchange.
In a moment,
Zhou Wenhua’s these German-equipped troops were surrounded by these increasingly enthusiastic citizens, engaging in conversations.
For these curious citizens—who started out rather timid but grew increasingly enthusiastic—their various inquiries, approaches, and conversations,
All the German-equipped clone soldiers immediately gave these citizens, who had originally fallen into despair, a friendly and approachable good impression,
And also gave them reassurance for the people’s morale,
Because through their increasingly bold approaches and exchanges, they confirmed that Zhou Wenhua’s these German-equipped troops had come here to kill Japanese Troops and defend the place.
Although they also learned from these German-equipped clone soldiers that they couldn’t guarantee holding out here for how long,
But they received a consistent response from these German-equipped clone troops: at least they would kill more than one regiment of Japanese Troops here before evacuating.
So after hearing such inspiring promises and news,
It immediately made all the city’s citizens even more emotionally agitated and excited.
Thus, many citizens spontaneously sent food, drinks, various supplies and donations, even money and other wealth, to Zhou Wenhua’s these German-equipped soldiers to support them in resisting the Japanese Invaders.
Of course, quite a few citizens were also willing to enthusiastically help these German-equipped clone soldiers build defensive works.
Because while assisting Zhou Wenhua’s these German-equipped troops, they were actually also helping defend their own homeland, not letting the Japanese Invaders occupy it so easily.
