Chapter 94: Combat Objective
“Japanese Marine Corps reinforcements have arrived, and they have successfully landed at Whampoa Dock! Additionally, the Japanese Army’s aircraft carrier ‘Kaga’, and ‘Houshou’, have also loaded another batch of Japanese Aircraft again to conduct support operation!”
At the 156 Brigade’s command post, Brigade Commander Liu Kun was listening to the report from his subordinate intelligence officer.
“How many troops have come? Have we investigated? These damn Japanese People reinforcements came so fast?”
“Haven’t our reinforcements arrived yet?”
Upon hearing that Japanese People Marine Corps reinforcements had come,
Brigade Commander Liu Kun immediately anxiously pressed for an answer.
“Around 2000 to 3000 troops!”
“As for the Japanese People’s airplanes, about 50 aircraft! This is the intelligence we received from our deployment inside their inner lines. As for the real data, it can only be confirmed after the battle!”
“Because of the Japanese People’s fleet, our intelligence personnel couldn’t get close, only able to observe from afar and obtain through informants!”
“As for our reinforcements, they are already on the journey and should arrive in about half a day!”
“Brigade Commander!”
Intelligence Officer Li Jinze responded.
“Alright! Continue to find ways to reconnoiter every move of the Japanese People troops!”
Brigade Commander Liu Kun nodded in satisfaction.
“Additionally, there’s another unusual intelligence, Brigade Commander!”
“We discovered three groups of Japanese People small troops that were annihilated by a Security Team!”
“As for their identity, we are still investigating!”
“The number of Japanese People killed by them now is about more than 30!”
Intelligence Officer Li Jinze the reporter continued to report.
“Hm? There’s such a thing? Pay close attention to this Security Team for me!”
“Of course, don’t stop their practice of killing Japanese People troops. They might be Anti-Japanese teams formed by some patriotic Anti-Japanese organization, just like the Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army of the Three Friends Towel Factory and those of Fudan University!”
“If necessary, also give them some support to assist in operation!”
“As long as it’s troops that are Anti-Japanese and kill Japanese People, I welcome them very much!”
After hearing this, Brigade Commander Liu Kun issued instructions.
“Yes! Brigade Commander!”
Intelligence Officer Li Jinze nodded in agreement.
Immediately after, he also continued to carry out his reconnaissance mission.
Meanwhile, Brigade Commander Liu Kun also continued to command his main force to intensify the attack on the Japanese Marine Corps operation.
At this time, in the street block where the German-equipped Company was located,
“Our intelligence shows Japanese People reinforcements have come, about more than 2000 troops, and more than 40 aircraft!”
Security Team Company Commander Xiao Wenjie reported to the German-equipped Company Company Commander Chen Weihua beside him.
“Hm! It’s a pity that the pilots at Boss’s Flying Club haven’t been fully trained yet. Otherwise, this would be the best combat opportunity for them to conduct real combat!”
“It’s a bit of a pity!”
“Even the formation of the Submarine Force hasn’t been completed in time!”
“It should be said that not even a single submarine has been built before the war broke out!”
“Now we can only use anti-aircraft weaponry and equipment to deal with these Japanese People aircraft group attacks!”
“The problem is our anti-aircraft troops are also in the process of formation!”
“Anti-aircraft Guns and anti-aircraft Machine Guns are not many either!”
“It’s all because our artillery personnel are not numerous enough, with most still in training!”
After hearing this, German-equipped Company Company Commander Chen Weihua sighed slightly helplessly.
“Yes! But Boss just sent us an encrypted telegram, telling us to concentrate our combat objective on killing Japanese Marine Corps officers, especially this time’s attacking Japanese People commander Major General Shiozawa, and Sasebo!”
“These are the two main Japanese People commanders that Boss wants us to eliminate. As for the list of subsequent Japanese People commanders coming as reinforcements, Boss hasn’t sent it yet; we have to wait!”
“So now we must find a way to approach these two Japanese People commanders and kill them!”
Security Team Company Commander Xiao Wenjie said.
“Didn’t we capture the military uniforms of those Japanese Marine Corps we killed?”
“Wear those military uniforms, infiltrate into the Japanese People troops, approach those two Japanese People commanders, and assassinate them!”
“Of course, in the subsequent process of killing Japanese Marine Corps, we will obtain even more military uniforms of Japanese Marines, then we can infiltrate more people to carry out this operation of killing Japanese People commanders!”
German-equipped Company Company Commander Chen Weihua proposed.
“Right! Your method is very good; how come I didn’t think of it!”
“We’ll adopt your way to carry out this combat mission. Anyway, I can also speak Japanese!”
“And very fluent Japanese, because I studied in the Japanese People’s homeland!”
After hearing this,
Security Team Company Commander Xiao Wenjie immediately brightened up and excitedly agreed.
“I can also speak Japanese, and of course I have many subordinates who can speak Japanese too, so I can assist you in completing this combat mission!”
German-equipped Company Company Commander Chen Weihua smiled and supplemented.
At this,
Security Team Company Commander Xiao Wenjie’s eyes brightened even more,
So, the two of them also discussed how to kill even more Japanese Marines next, obtain their military uniforms, and infiltrate into the Japanese People Marine Corps troops to approach Japanese People commander Major General Shiozawa and Sasebo, and slaughter them!
At this time,
The transport fleet escorted by 3 cruisers including “Naka”, “Yura”, and “Abukuma”, after the Japanese Marine Corps reinforcements they transported successfully conducted landing operation,
They also smoothly rendezvoused with Commander Major General Shiozawa’s Marine Corps.
The commander of this Japanese People reinforcement force was Major General Yoshida Nanfeng,
After their two Marine Corps cooperated together,
Major General Yoshida Nanfeng also had a brief chat with Major General Shiozawa.
“Yo xi! Long time no see, Shiozawa-kun!”
“This time the two of us can cooperate to deal with those Chinese Army; it’s really a good opportunity for us to meet!”
“This time we will certainly cooperate happily like before and achieve even better battle results!”
“We must complete the combat mission of occupying North Station, even the entire Shanghai, within four days!”
“This is the combat mission given to me and you by Navy Minister them when I left the homeland!”
Major General Yoshida Nanfeng smiled and shook hands friendly with Major General Shiozawa.
Because the two of them were old friends.
“Yo xi! That is certainly achievable!”
“Having you come to assist me in this operation really gives me wings like a tiger!”
“Originally I thought it would be that guy Sasebo who would bring reinforcements first to support my operation!”
“Now that it’s you who’s come, I’m even more relieved and happy!”
Major General Shiozawa also responded in a very good mood.
