Chapter 224: Bombing The Remnants Of The Japanese Army’s 20th Division
The over a thousand 29th Route Army student soldiers who were rescued and taken away by Zhou Wenhua’s German-equipped clone troops were, under the arrangement of Zhou Wenhua’s German-equipped clone troops, stationed in the mountain forests on the outskirts of the nearby areas around Beiping,
and they were also waiting for these German-equipped clone troops to distribute food, weaponry, and ammunition to them to carry out the defensive operation of Beiping City.
“How much longer do we have to stay here? I heard Yuanping City has already fallen, and the 29th Route Army stationed in Beiping City was also scared off by the Japanese Army and fled overnight. Now I hear that inside Beiping City, it’s being held fast by the German-equipped troops that rescued us. Several days have already passed, and I don’t know what the battle situation in Beiping City is like now?”
“Yeah! I don’t know how many troops these German-equipped troops have brought, whether they have follow-up reinforcements, whether they can hold fast to Beiping City, and when we can leave here? I really want to go out and see what the situation outside is like now?”
“I also want to go out and see the situation outside! But I heard that there are Japanese Army troops everywhere outside Beiping City now! Weren’t those classmates of ours who couldn’t hold back and ran out to look all scared back? They couldn’t even break out of the Japanese Army’s encirclement line!”
“Then will our Beiping City fall surrounded by so many Japanese Army troops? I’m so worried! My family is still inside the city, and I don’t know how they are now?”
“Listen quickly? The gunfire sounds inside Beiping City seem to have stopped. Could it be that Beiping City has already fallen? I just heard a lot of artillery fire sounds!”
“It shouldn’t be! Don’t those German-equipped troops have a company left here to guard us? They haven’t gone to Beiping City yet to carry out support operations, so I think Beiping City shouldn’t have fallen!”
“That’s hard to say. Maybe we can ask those German-equipped troops’ soldiers. They might know!”
“But these German-equipped troops have been staying here with us for several days. I think they might not know the current situation in Beiping City!”
“Not necessarily! They have field telephones and telegraph machines to contact the outside world, so they should know the situation in Beiping City!”
“Then let’s go ask them now!”
“Yeah! Good!”
In an atmosphere of extreme unease, these student soldiers were on one hand waiting for the next arrangement from Zhou Wenhua’s German-equipped troops, and on the other hand whispering to each other, or heatedly discussing in a hubbub.
Some students even wanted to immediately go ask Zhou Wenhua’s German-equipped troops about the battle situation outside.
Especially regarding the battle situation in their hometown Beiping, whether it had withstood the Japanese Army’s offensive operation or lost.
Just as these student soldiers were behaving this way,
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“Rumble rumble rumble! Rumble rumble rumble”
Suddenly, a series of huge explosion sounds continuously erupted.
Shaking heaven and earth, even audible in the mountain forests so far away where they were.
And at this very moment in Beiping City,
The Japanese Army’s 20th Division that had just charged and killed into Beiping City were all exhilarated, in a state of extreme excitement, even crazier than people who had been injected with chicken blood, launching an attack operation to seize the entire Beiping City in one fell swoop.
And their Division Commander Kawagishi Fumisaburo, along with the Japanese officers around him, were also exhilarated, almost breaking into song and dance on the spot to celebrate the victory that was about to be in their hands.
Because they felt that Beiping City was already in the bag for them.
But just when all the Japanese officers and soldiers of the entire 20th Division were the most exhilarated,
A series of huge explosions erupted, completely stunning all the Japanese officers and soldiers who were still in a state of extreme excitement. Even those Japanese officers and soldiers who were blown away by the explosions didn’t have time to react before they became cannon fodder and disappeared.
And Division Commander Kawagishi Fumisaburo and the Japanese officers around him suddenly had drastic changes in their expressions.
