Chapter 246: These Japanese Army Soldiers Are Coming To Die
In the Foreign Public Concession of Tianjin City, a drizzle began to fall from the sky, eventually changing into a downpour. Although it wasn’t as terrible as the bone-chilling rain and snow weather of winter, it was still enough to make people feel depressed. And the Japanese Troops’ offensive operation troops were hurrying on a forced march at this time, so all the citizens in the entire Tianjin City Public Concession, even the foreigners, were in bad moods.
Foreign Troops were also hurrying to reinforce the defensive facilities of their public concession and organizing more troops for defensive operation deployment. Even their major commanders were braving the rainy weather to personally command and supervise the deployment work of the defensive operation.
Because this attacking Japanese Army Unit had completely exceeded their imagination in number.
Whether the British Concession, the French Concession, or the foreign troops in the other seven foreign public concessions, they were all issuing more orders. And their commanders were also gathering here in the British Concession to discuss.
“Do you think this time these Japanese Army are attacking on such a large scale, will they provoke our public concession? With the troops we have deployed here now, it’s probably hard to resist such a large-scale Japanese Army attack! Moreover, the Japanese Army also has a large number of airplanes for support operation. Although the Japanese Army Airfield inside Tianjin City was bombed into ruins by those night flying units of unknown origin, unable to threaten us, the Japanese Army still has other airports that can dispatch air force for air strike bombing against us!”
“Yeah! These damned Japanese Army, we don’t have many airplanes deployed here, just a scant few, completely unable to confront a large-scale Japanese Aircraft Group attack. It’s just like now we have no way to face such a large-scale Japanese Troops attack!”
“I have already reported the situation of this large-scale Japanese Army attack to our high-level. They are sending more fleet to support our operation, and can evacuate our residents here at any time to return home and avoid the war!”
“Do you know how long until those Japanese Troops arrive here? And will they actively attack us? Or just target the 38th Division’s troops and Chinese Army Unit for offensive operation? And will the Japanese Aircraft Group be dispatched for air strike bombing? We don’t seem to have much anti-aircraft weaponry here, not even many anti-aircraft guns!”
“Not to mention anti-aircraft guns, we don’t even have many anti-aircraft machine guns, because we’ve always believed no one dares to provoke us. But now with so many Japanese Army coming, that’s an unknown, can’t guarantee!”
“Hmph! These damned Japanese Army, if they dare to attack our public concession, then we will absolutely make them pay a heavy price!”
“Well said! We’re not as easy to bully as those Chinese Army Units. Moreover, whether it’s our troops’ combat power or science and technology, it’s all more advanced than the Japanese Army’s. So I still say the same thing, maybe we don’t need to worry so much about the Japanese Army daring to provoke us! Because I see these Japanese Army don’t have the guts to invade our public concession! If they come, they’re asking for death!”
“That’s for sure, these Japanese Army coming is asking for death!”
At the temporary office at the frontline entrance checkpoint of the British Concession,
A group of foreign high-level officers were gathering, eating lunch while chattering nonstop and discussing heatedly, especially about the Japanese Army attack issue, which made these foreign high-level officers even more emotionally agitated and excitedly buzzing with discussion.
In the end, they still calmed down, all returning to a confident demeanor, not afraid that the Japanese Troops would dare to provoke or invade the public concession they were guarding.
Of course, the ordinary citizens inside the public concession didn’t have their confident assurance, and instead, as the Japanese Army approached closer, their worried emotions became more intense.
