Chapter 151: Division Commander Feng Composing Himself
After the first batch of Japanese Army companies and artillery unit in the offensive operation at Lugou Bridge were bombed by Zhou Wen’s air force in a sudden air strike bombing, turning into roast pigs and cannon fodder,
the entire Japanese Army Command Post was immediately shocked.
“Baka yarou! Our first batch of companies and artillery unit attacking the Lugou Bridge garrisoned by the Chinese Army were all bombed away?”
“When did the Chinese Army’s air force come here?”
“Why didn’t I receive any wind of it? What are our intelligence agency eating for dinner?”
Commander Tashiro Wanichiro immediately became furious and roared.
“Sore ga! I feel something is off about this! There’s something strange!”
Lieutenant General Katsuki Kiyoshi also frowned, feeling that something was off.
“So how should we deploy the next battle? Should we continue to deploy troops to attack Lugou Bridge, or what?”
“Also, should we continue to deploy new artillery units for support operation?”
Major General Masazo Kawabe was very nervous and said how the next battle should be deployed.
“Yes! Immediately deploy a battalion over there! Including new artillery units!”
“Additionally, deploy our Imperial Air Force as well for counterattack operation!”
“Finally, investigate for me which Chinese air force came!”
“And the aircraft models they used! We absolutely cannot lose to these damned Chinese Air Force!”
“We must carry out a good counterattack operation! We must return it double to these damned Chinese Army!”
“However many troops we lost this time in the sneak attack bombing, we will make them lose double that many troops!”
“If they kill one Imperial Warrior of ours, then we will kill more than four Chinese Army to accompany in death!”
Commander Tashiro Wanichiro revealed a ferocious smile, his gaze ruthless as he issued instructions and orders.
“Hai!”
“Commander said it perfectly! I will immediately deploy troops and generals and convey your operation orders!”
“As for the Lugou Bridge side, I will personally supervise the troops to fully capture it within three hours!”
Upon hearing this, Major General Masazo Kawabe’s eyes immediately lit up, and he hurriedly nodded and bowed.
His ambition was reignited.
And he was also preparing to deliver a fatal blow to the 29th Route Army 3rd Battalion troops holding fast at Lugou Bridge.
At the same time,
in Yuanping City, Brigadier General Zhao and Division Commander Feng also simultaneously learned of the sudden battle situation change at Lugou Bridge.
“Did our National Revolutionary Army air force come here? Why didn’t the capital Military Committee notify us?”
“And which airport did they fly from?”
“They wouldn’t have flown from such a distant southern region to participate in the battle here!”
“If that’s the case, how did they refuel midway? And where did they go now?”
After the shock, Brigadier General Zhao was full of puzzled questions and inquired of Division Commander Feng beside him.
“These questions, if you ask me, I don’t know either!”
“Now our focus of attention shouldn’t be to thank them for letting our troops holding fast at Lugou Bridge temporarily hold there?”
“Moreover, according to the report from Lugou Bridge, the air force that came to air strike bomb the Japanese troops may not necessarily be the National Revolutionary Army air force; at least the aircraft models aren’t!”
“So we need to reconfirm whether it is the National Revolutionary Army air force coming to support our operation and resist Japanese invaders together!”
Division Commander Feng was also helpless about these questions, shrugged his shoulders, and responded.
He himself didn’t know where these air force came from,
nor had he confirmed if it was the National Revolutionary Army air force,
“Mm! You’re right! But we can’t be happy too early either!”
“Although the Japanese Army suffered a big loss now! Caught off guard by the air strike bombing from these aircraft group suspected to be National Revolutionary Army air force, losing the first batch of offensive operation troops!”
“But I believe they will soon have more follow-up troops deployed for new attacks!”
“So the battle at Lugou Bridge isn’t over; instead, it will face even more terrifying retaliatory offensive operation from the Japanese Army!”
“I’m afraid the Japanese aircraft group’s air strike bombing will arrive soon too!”
Brigadier General Zhao also showed a worried expression.
After hearing this, Division Commander Feng also restrained his happy mood, his face becoming grave.
And he also began to discuss with Brigadier General Zhao how to reinforce Lugou Bridge.
