Chapter 220: I Hope So
“Baka Yarou! How could this be? How could there be so many tanks here in Beiping City, and they were able to annihilate more than 20 of our Empire’s Type 96 main battle tanks in such a short time?”
After listening to Adjutant Kida Go’s report, Division Commander Kawagishi Fumisaburo still had an expression of utter disbelief on his face, remaining shocked for a long time, and muttering to himself.
At the same time, on the Tianjin side, all the patriotic citizens and students who learned that the Japanese aircraft and tanks in Beiping were so vulnerable immediately boiled over with excitement.
“Annihilating them was truly excellent. Our German-equipped troops stationed on the Beiping side were truly outstanding. They completely shattered the Japanese invaders’ prestige time and again! They are simply role models for us to learn from, our most outstanding troops resisting the Japanese invaders! No wonder they are our domestically strongest German-equipped troops! By the way, which of the four ace German-equipped troops are they? Several days have already passed, so why haven’t the foreigners’ newspapers published anything about it?”
“I also want to know which German-equipped troops performed so outstandingly in combat? Also, exactly how many German-equipped troops came to the Beiping side, and what model are those new type tank groups that so easily annihilated all the Japanese invaders’ tank units? Which foreign powers imported them? Can our troops mass-equip such outstandingly combat-effective tank and vehicle troops?”
“If we could equip such excellent tank and vehicle troops, then our domestic troops would no longer need to fear the Japanese Army’s tank units, and it would greatly enhance our army troops’ combat strength. So I plan to donate money to support National Revolutionary Army troops in purchasing even more of these superior combat-performance tank and vehicle troops!”
“I want to donate too. What I most want to know right now is which German-equipped officer is commanding the battle in Beiping. Their fighting completely exceeded my imagination in combat level. Have you seen those Japanese invaders killed with corpses strewn everywhere? It feels utterly satisfying!”
“Of course I saw them. These damned Japanese invaders deserve to die countless times. You know how many innocent military and civilians have been brutalized by them? Moreover, large areas of citizens on the Northeast side are still under the brutalization of these damned Japanese invaders! So they deserve to be killed, and well killed at that. It would be the best outcome if all the Japanese invaders attacking Beiping City could be completely annihilated!”
“Annihilating all the Japanese Army attacking Beiping City is probably not that easy! You know the Japanese Army on the Fengtai side is continuously transporting over, and quite a few reinforcement troops have already arrived, with even more on the journey to support Beiping City! But for our German-equipped troops holding fast inside Beiping City, we haven’t received any news of support troops at all. I think once their ammunition runs out and there’s no supply support, it will be hard for them to continue fighting as ferociously as now! It’s truly worrying!”
“I don’t know what the high-level leaders on the Shanghai and capital Nanjing side are thinking. Why haven’t reinforcements come to support yet? Aren’t there still quite a few National Revolutionary Army troops stationed in Taiyuan and other places? Are they just going to watch these German-equipped troops get surrounded by the Japanese Army, fighting alone?”
“Maybe the subsequent reinforcements are secretly rushing over, just like these German-equipped troops and new type tank troops that suddenly appeared in Beiping City, appearing and disappearing mysteriously, catching the Japanese Army off guard! So they haven’t been published in the foreigners’ newspapers, precisely for secret combat deployment!”
“I hope so!”
As more and more patriotic students and citizens learned of the latest victory report from Beiping and became abuzz with excitement, more and more people were heatedly discussing the subsequent battle situation in Beiping City.
Even quite a few citizens and students had already started donation drives.
Some had even organized teams and set off for Beiping City, preparing to join the support for Zhou Wenhua’s German-equipped clone troops in resisting the Japanese Army’s 20th Division and the subsequent Japanese Army reinforcements in combat.
