Chapter 219: Should We Continue The Siege Operation?
“If our starving troops also had these new-style tanks, it would be great to assist in combat. We could absolutely make the Japanese invaders collapse like a landslide!”
After reading the newspaper, Zhou Weiguo was also full of envy as he said.
“Wait a minute, these tanks wouldn’t be my cousin Zhou Wenhua’s, would they!”
“He seems to have quite a few military products transactions with those foreign powers, and thanks to his connections, my training at the Berlin Military Academy also allowed me to learn quite a lot!”
“Moreover, many German Army officers over there have had their relationships smoothed by him!”
“If they really are his, then this matter would be easy to handle. I can go discuss with him if there’s any way to get some of these tanks for military training, to assist in combat, and to resist the Japanese invaders’ invasion!”
“Although war hasn’t broken out in Shanghai yet, I feel that it will definitely erupt in the near future, especially now with the battle in Beiping erupting into such increasingly large-scale war of resisting Japanese invaders. I believe the warfare will continuously spread and expand, just as my cousin predicted—Shanghai will sooner or later fall into the Japanese invaders’ invasion operations!”
“Zhou Wenhua! You really are an outstanding prophet!”
“The Japanese invaders’ intentions seem unable to escape your foresight!”
“It looks like I need to consult you more in the future!”
“You are the real expert on the Japanese invaders’ actions!”
“And you have an extremely well-developed network of connections!”
“Hmm! It’s decided then. In a bit, I’ll immediately send him a telegram to inquire. Anyway, he has his own private communication room and signalmen, so I should get his reply soon! And I’ll use a new-style encrypted telegram!”
“Even if the Japanese invaders intercept it, they won’t be able to decipher it!”
Shortly after,
Zhou Weiguo made up his mind and said.
Then, he really went to find the signalmen and sent an encrypted telegram to Zhou Wenhua to inquire.
Of course, he also wanted to inquire about the battle situation on the Beiping side, and how Zhou Wenhua was doing.
Whether they needed any help.
And also about the tanks.
At this time, after seeing his own Sherman Tank units completely annihilate the more than 20 incoming Japanese Army Type 96 Tanks, Zhou Wenhua had already ordered these tank units to charge and kill a wave of the vanguard troops of the Japanese Army 20th Division, then immediately return inside the city to prepare for street fighting.
After luring the enemy deep inside,
Then quickly evacuate, and blow up all the Japanese Army that entered the city, causing casualties.
As the Sherman Tank units continuously entered the city, he immediately issued the evacuation order,
Leaving only the rearguard combat troops and those Sherman Tank units to continue attracting more Japanese Army troops into the area where they had deployed the explosive packages, preparing to detonate and annihilate the Japanese Army 20th Division’s troops.
Japanese Army 20th Division’s frontline command post,
Division Commander Kawagishi Fumisaburo, who personally watched his commanded Type 96 Tank units get completely annihilated by Zhou Wenhua’s Sherman Tank units in a short time,
Finally regained his composure from his shock.
“Baka! Baka Yarou! Where exactly did these tanks come from? Why do the German-equipped Chinese troops have so many tank models I’ve never seen before, and they could so quickly completely annihilate one of our Empire’s active main battle tanks?”
“Am I having a nightmare? Why would such an incredulous thing happen in this Chinese country with zero industrial foundation?”
After regaining his composure, Division Commander Kawagishi Fumisaburo roared with an incredulous expression on his face.
“Your Excellency Division Commander! Those German-Equipped Chinese Army are covering their tank units retreating back into their city, and the city gate is still not closed! What should we do now?”
“Should we continue the city attack operation?”
At this moment,
Adjutant Kida Go immediately urgently inquired of Division Commander Kawagishi Fumisaburo.
And also reported the latest situation of Zhou Wenhua’s German-equipped clone troops and Sherman Tank units.
