Chapter 222: The Remnants Of The 20th Division Charging Into The City
When batch after batch of Japanese Army Reinforcements continuously arrived at Yuanping City, then, Brigade Commander Major General Kawabe Shozo of the Garrison Army Infantry Brigade personally led them to the outskirts of Beiping City to conduct a support operation.
Meanwhile, Garrison Army Commander Lieutenant General Wanichiro Tashiro stayed behind in Yuanping City, continuing to command and deploy the arrival of subsequent Japanese Army Reinforcements, and deploying troops and generals.
“Hurry! Speed up your steps! We must arrive at Chinese Beiping City within half an hour and completely annihilate all German-Equipped Chinese Army Troops inside! Wash away the shame that the 20th Division brought to our Imperial Army and the Empire!”
“We must slaughter all the Chinese Army inside, especially their commander. I must hang his corpse on the walls of Chinese Beiping City so that all Chinese People and Chinese Army know what the consequences are of opposing our Imperial Army!”
Brigade Commander Major General Kawabe Shozo rode on a Type 96 Tank, continuously roaring commands to the Japanese Troops under his command who were marching rapidly.
With the echo of his continuous roaring voice, all Japanese Troops quickened their marching pace even more.
At this time, Beiping City had already been flooded by the continuous 20th Division Japanese Army, occupying the main gate.
“Baka Yarou! We finally broke into this damned Chinese Beiping City! Kill them all!”
“Make sure to kill all those damned German-Equipped Chinese Army, leave none alive!”
Division Commander Kawagishi Fumisaburo, with a ferocious face, waved his officer’s command sword, veins bulging as he roared.
And he was also preparing to lead his remaining Japanese Troops entirely into Beiping City to conduct the final occupation operation.
And inside the city,
After the remaining troops of the Japanese 20th Division had almost all been lured deep into the city,
The Sherman Tank troops and a small number of clone German-equipped troops that Zhou Wenhua had left behind here were still stubbornly conducting resistance operations.
But most of the German-equipped troops and citizens had already been evacuated in advance.
Only the area where Acting Mayor Zhang had stayed behind had the remaining portion of citizens who were unwilling to evacuate, staying behind.
But when these citizens who stayed behind, including Acting Mayor Zhang and his small number of guard teams, were also scared with drastic changes in their faces, becoming terrified.
Especially seeing that most of Zhou Wenhua’s German-equipped clone troops had already successfully evacuated, with only a small portion of combat troops and tank troops left confronting the ferocious, desperate, continuously launching crazy offensive operations by the Japanese Troops, they became even more panicked and at a loss.
Even many people regretted not listening to the persuasion of Zhou Wenhua’s troops and evacuating from here.
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world,
So now they wanted to escape but it was already too late, because the Japanese Troops outside were continuously rushing over.
Escaping now, once intercepted by those Japanese Troops outside, would also mean death.
And after seeing that Beiping City had already been successfully occupied by the Japanese 20th Division at the main gate area, all newspaper reporters inside and outside the city became even more frantically taking war photographs, and also reporting all the battle situation of every move here to the major newspaper offices on the Foreign Public Concession side and other cities’ newspaper offices, for front-page headline reports.
Not long after, the Foreign Public Concession side had already been rapidly front-page headlined and crazily promoted and sold by major Foreign Newspapers and domestic newspaper offices.
So soon, the Public Concession side, as well as the capital Nanjing, and various major cities successively learned that the main gate of Beiping City had been fully occupied by the remnants of the Japanese 20th Division.
Moreover, the subsequent Japanese Army was continuously killing over to conduct support operations.
