Chapter 242: The Japanese Army’s Ambition
Garrison Army Infantry Brigade Command Post, stationed inside the fallen Beiping City,
“Baka Yarou! Why would this happen? Tianjin City has unknown origin night bomber group that completely destroyed our Dongjuzi Airport? And those Chinese Army garrisoned there actually dared to night raid all our garrison troops?”
“These damned Chinese Army! And these damned night bomber group!”
“Immediately report to Imperial General Headquarters for me, have them investigate clearly which Foreign Powers country dispatched these night bombers for air strike!”
“Besides Foreign Powers, no country could possibly possess such new-style, advanced night bomber group to air strike bomb our Dongjuzi Airport!”
“Just don’t know which Foreign Countries is secretly supporting those damned Chinese Army!”
“Otherwise, with Chinese Army’s almost zero foundation industrial manufacturing capability, it’s impossible to have airplane manufacturing capability, impossible to manufacture airplanes more advanced than Foreign Powers countries, let alone night bomber group that even our Imperial Air Force doesn’t have!”
“This matter is absolutely not simple, definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface, moreover there are so many Foreign Powers concentrated in Foreign Public Concession over there, so maybe they manufactured night raid bombing for us, it’s also possible!”
“So this matter now must be reported to Imperial General Headquarters side, let them handle it! We have no way to handle those Foreign Powers problems, too complicated!”
Upon hearing that the Japanese Army airfield on Tianjin City side was completely destroyed, Garrison Army Commander Lieutenant General Wanichiro Tashiro muttered very painfully.
“So desu ne! I’ll personally report to Imperial General Headquarters right away!”
“Right! Your Excellency Lieutenant General! So should we now seize this opportunity to immediately dispatch large army to attack Chinese Tianjin City? This way, we can occupy there even more rightfully!”
“It’s Chinese Army who first provoked battle, so we are just logically retaliating, compared to our usual elaborate efforts to manufacture provocations and trigger war, this is much less effort!”
After hearing this,
Garrison Army Infantry Brigade Commander Major General Kawabe Shozo immediately proposed his own combat proposal.
“Yo xi! Good idea!”
“Immediately telegraph all Chinese military and civilians, this time we will rightfully attack their places!”
“Hahaha! These damned Chinese Army, this time we’ve been handed the most suitable combat opportunity, no need for us to carefully design combat deployment!”
“And this time you must personally command troops, capture Chinese Tianjin City for me in one fell swoop!”
“And must be careful of Chinese Army’s night raid decapitation operation action, don’t repeat 20th Division Lieutenant General Fumisaburo Kawagishi’s inaction! He was nearly obliterated by those unknown origin air force!”
“And his Chief of Staff Hirota Yu by his side is no good either, if not for their luck in gaining our timely follow-up support operation, probably still couldn’t defeat those hateful Chinese German-equipped troops garrisoned in Beiping City, successfully seize Beiping City!”
“So for this Chinese Tianjin City combat attack, I hope you can personally supervise the battle, and I will also draw another division to cooperate with your operation!”
“Moreover, must wait here in the just occupied Chinese Beiping City for continuous gathering of reinforcements, because this time our combat objective may continue to expand!”
“Chinese Beiping City and Chinese Tianjin City are just a beginning, our Empire wants to expand territory, still need to fight all the way to Taiyuan side, even to more distant Chinese territory!”
“So rectification of reinforcements is something I must do well!”
“So I still cannot immediately personally lead troops to front line to command operation!”
“So I’m counting on you, Kawabe-kun!”
After Brigade Commander Major General Kawabe Shozo’s words fell,
Lieutenant General Wanichiro Tashiro expressed strong agreement.
And it also ignited his ambitious, expand territory emotions, chattering excitedly for a bit.
“Hai! Rest assured! Your Excellency Lieutenant General, I will surely complete this attack on Chinese Tianjin City operation!”
“Surely capture the entire Chinese Tianjin City!”
Brigade Commander Major General Kawabe Shozo also revealed ambitious, highly aggressive gaze, slyly smiling in response.
Immediately after, without further ado, he personally deployed troops and generals to set out for battle.
And also promoted his leading Japanese Army large army to battle as a positive aspect.
For this, it triggered strong march protests from all patriots resisting Japanese Invaders, and various donation drives, to support Tianjin City garrison troops resisting Japanese Army attack.
