Chapter 216: Sherman Tank Group’s Operation Shocks Everyone
Foreign Public Concession, with the foreign reporters who were desperately shooting war photographs on the Beiping side, and domestic reporters, after sending back the latest battle photos of Beiping resisting the Japanese Invaders’ attack for publication in newspapers for sales, immediately reignited the strong purchasing desire of all citizens in the Foreign Public Concession, especially when they saw that the front-page headline news featured a group of tank groups called new type tanks by the foreign reporters, conducting frontal confrontation operations with the Japanese Army’s Type 96 Doting Tanks group, and after seeing those scene photos and news messages, it immediately exploded into everyone’s heated discussion, and shocked everyone speechless,
especially all foreign citizens in the Foreign Public Concession, including foreign troops, officials, and naval officers of the foreign naval fleet, were all equally shocked to the point of being dumbfounded and unable to believe by such explosive latest battle situation news.
They really had expressions of utter disbelief on their faces, and even racking their brains, they couldn’t imagine why more than 30 new type tanks appeared in Beiping City to crush the Japanese Army’s more than 20 Type 96 Doting Tanks in that combat scene.
“Hiss! Are we seeing things, or are these newspaper offices doing false promotion and faking these war photographs? How could there be so many new type tanks appearing on the battlefield in Beiping, completely crushing the Japanese Army’s Doting Tanks group?”
“Who knows! But looking at their numbers, they seem to outnumber the Japanese Army’s tank and vehicle troops, so maybe you should ask me which country actually dispatched so many new type tanks to assist the Chinese Army German-equipped troops in confronting the incoming Japanese Army forces, or where exactly the Chinese Army Unit procured these new type tank models!”
“I also want to know from which channels these new type tank models were procured, but it’s certain that they absolutely weren’t sold by our country to the Chinese Army Unit to fight the Japanese Troops, because our domestic active troops have never used these models, not even as retired items!”
“It couldn’t be that the German Army sold them, right? You know, recently the German Army has sold quite a lot of German Weaponry equipment to the Chinese Army Unit, and that even included transportation!”
“Hard to say! But this tank model I’ve never seen before doesn’t seem to be from the German Army side. I’ve seen all the German Army’s tank models, including their 3rd tank that’s still under research and development and not fully mass-produced yet!”
“Then which country secretly researched and developed this new type tank?”
“It seems a bit like the tank model from the Eagle Sauce Country side! But not completely, maybe we have to ask people from the Eagle Sauce Country side to know!”
And as more and more foreigners bought the newspapers,
all foreigners were constantly having heated discussions after meals about the newspaper content regarding the more than 30 Sherman Tanks that appeared in Beiping City crushing the Japanese Army’s Type 96 Tanks group,
ultimately triggering the peak topic of the most heated discussion in the Foreign Public Concession.
Even this topic, along with the explosive popularity on the Public Concession side, spread to nearby major cities, and even further cities across the north and south of the Yangtze River, where these hot-selling newspapers successively appeared, reporting this explosive front-page headline news,
thereby making many newspaper offices earn a fortune.
It also made even more patriots and patriotic students even more enthusiastic, donating even more supplies and money to support the German-equipped clone troops in Beiping City resisting the Japanese Army’s large-scale invasion,
Unfortunately, these supplies and money couldn’t be directly delivered to Zhou Wenhua’s German-equipped clone troops’ hands at all, and all fell into the National Revolutionary Army Troops side.
Because as soon as German-equipped troops appeared, basically many citizens thought they were the four well-known German-equipped division troops of the National Revolutionary Army Troops, namely the German-equipped 87th Division, 88th Division, 36th Division, and Training Corps.
