Chapter 221: Japanese Army Reinforcements Arrive
At Beiping City, inside and outside the city, the foreign reporters and domestic reporters who were frantically and desperately taking war photographs suddenly had strange expressions, or became even more excited and frenzied, shooting even more fiercely.
“They retreated? Those new-style Sherman Tank groups actually retreated back inside the city. Have they used up their ammunition and fuel? Or were they overwhelmed by the Japanese Troops’ new desperate offensive operation, so they evacuated into Beiping City?”
“Look quickly, the Japanese Troops seem to have gone mad, they’ve already launched a large-scale offensive operation, desperately charging and killing into the wide-open gate of Beiping City? By the way, why didn’t those German-equipped troops close the gate when they opened it? Aren’t they playing with fire?”
“I don’t know the situation, but shoot quickly! Otherwise, we’ll miss this explosive front-page headline news. This operation reversal will definitely sell out completely again, making a fortune. Now with our massive promotion, many people are already paying attention to our latest news reports!”
“But those newspaper buyers aren’t most eager to see victory reports of the German-equipped troops defeating the Japanese Troops’ offensive operation? Now it’s news of their defeat, will it not be that hot?”
“It will definitely be hot! Everyone will equally care about what Beiping will change into once it falls. And what the follow-up operations of these German-equipped troops will be like, it will definitely attract a large number of citizens to watch!”
“Yes! Whether it’s negative news or victory reports, everyone is still concerned about every move in Beiping City, because once the Japanese Army occupies here, it will be very important for the overall situation in Northern China, especially their Second War Zone’s defensive operation, and the safety of those citizens who hate the Japanese invaders, that’s also very important!”
“But once the Japanese Army occupies Beiping City, can we still take war photographs here like now? Although our country is not afraid of the Japanese Troops, we’ve all witnessed firsthand these Japanese Invaders’ recent arson, killing, looting, and plundering behavior—it’s simply demonic! So what do we do next? Can we still properly take war photographs?”
“We’ll figure something out! For now, report the latest battle situation here to our editor’s office! Quick! We must be the first to release all the latest battle situation news here, seize the front-page headline news, and make money first!”
“Already reporting, terrible! The Japanese Army seems to be sending an entire division to launch a general attack. By the way, who is their current commander? Their Division Commander seems to be Kawagishi Fumisaburo, right? Is it that officer wearing a high-ranking Japanese Army military uniform? I’ve already taken his photo, should we send it back to the editor’s office together?”
“Send it! Otherwise, why are we risking our lives on the front-line battlefield taking war photographs? Isn’t it for the front-page headline news? And to let everyone timely understand the battle situation here?”
Seeing Zhou Wenhua’s German-equipped clone troops suddenly all retreat into Beiping City, and large numbers of Japanese Army 20th Division troops, as if gone mad, desperately launching a general attack, all the war reporters became even more emotionally excited, buzzing as they took war photographs while shouting loudly and discussing.
At the same time, at the already fallen Lugou Bridge and Yuanping City, batch after batch of Japanese Army reinforcements were continuously hurrying by forced march toward Beiping City to prepare for support operation,
And the one commanding these Japanese Army reinforcements was Garrison Army Commander Lieutenant General Wanichiro Tashiro, and Garrison Army Infantry Brigade Commander Major General Masazo Kawabe.
Because Lieutenant General Katsuki Kiyoshi had been bombed to death, only these two senior commanders remained, along with the subsequent arriving Division Commander to command the troops.
