Chapter 149 The eve of the Japanese air attack on Wanping City
As the Japanese army continued to attack, the fighting situation at Marco Polo Bridge became more and more rapid. Especially when the Japanese artillery units began to bombard the Marco Polo Bridge indiscriminately, the entire 3rd Battalion of the 29th Route Army that was defending Marco Polo Bridge was suppressed and attacked, and it was still
The casualties were heavy.
"When will our reinforcements arrive? If there are no reinforcements yet, I'm afraid our entire army will be destroyed here! And I'm afraid the Marco Polo Bridge will be lost. These damn devils, the power of their artillery, shelling and bombing is really
It's so powerful! It would be great if we could also have such a lethal artillery group to carry out support operations!"
Li Tianming, the deputy commander of the 3rd Battalion, had a gray face and was slightly injured. He was unwilling to say anything to the battalion commander Jin Zhenzhong who was also injured in his hiding place.
"I don't know when the reinforcements will come, but as long as I am still breathing, I will not let the Japanese pass here! After the Japanese artillery bombardment is completed, we will all fight to the death! None of us are afraid of death.
!Without artillery, we will fight them with swords!"
Battalion Commander Jin Zhenzhong gritted his teeth and was determined to fight to the end.
"."
Li Tianming, deputy commander of the 3rd Battalion.
He fell silent.
And at this time,
Japanese camp,
The captain of the 8th Squadron of the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Regiment, Setsuro Shimizu, showed a bright smile and stared with disdain at the bombing scene covered by artillery fire like a violent storm.
"Sigh! These damn Chinese troops have finally tasted the power of our imperial army this time!"
"With such ferocious artillery fire covering the bombing, I wonder if they can survive!"
"Hahaha! Even if they can survive, I don't think many will survive!"
"This is what happens if you try to stop our Imperial Army and fully occupy this place!"
"All the warriors of the empire, please listen to me clearly. After all the artillery groups of our empire have completed the bombardment, they will immediately launch an attack for me. We must fully occupy this Marco Polo Bridge before the sun goes down today. We must also assist the army."
Troops, attack Wanping City held by the Chinese Army in an all-out manner!"
"Our goal is to seize the entire Peiping of China and make it a new occupation area for our imperial army!"
Later, squadron leader Setsuro Shimizu also showed a ferocious smile and gave combat orders to all the Japanese officers and soldiers behind him.
For him, the battle to capture the Marco Polo Bridge would be a piece of cake.
Because now that the battle has reached this point, it has become obvious that the remnants of Route 29 who have been holding on here can no longer resist them for how long.
As long as they wait for the bombardment to pass, they go all out and deliver a fatal blow, they will be able to achieve their wish and fully occupy the bridgehead of Marco Polo Bridge, making a good start for the follow-up Japanese attack.
"Onboard!"
"Onboard!"
"Onboard!"
All the Japanese officers and soldiers suddenly became excited and cheered.
In their eyes, the Marco Polo Bridge record will soon belong to them.
By then they will become one of the heroes of this new war,
So the fighting spirit of these devils was instantly ignited,
After learning that the 8th Squadron of the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Regiment, as the forward force, was about to capture the Marco Polo Bridge,
Lieutenant General Anichiro Tashiro, commander of the Japanese garrison, Lieutenant General Kozuki Kiyoshi, and Major General Shozo Kawabe, commander of the garrison infantry brigade, and other senior officials also showed bright and confident smiles.
"Yo Xi! The progress of the war has been completely controlled by our expectations. As soon as our forward troops capture the Marco Polo Bridge, we will be able to quickly occupy Wanping City where the 29th China Army troops are holding fast with thunderous momentum!
"
"Our army has surrounded this city from three sides. As long as we capture it completely, we can easily capture the entire Peiping! By then we will become the heroes of the empire's expansion of territory!"
Lieutenant General Anichiro Tashiro, the commander of the Japanese garrison, also showed a smile as bright as a chrysanthemum after hearing the good news.
"Yo Xi! That's of course. Otherwise, if we planned the attack for so long, wouldn't it be in vain?"
"So victory must belong to us!"
Major General Shozo Kawabe, the brigade commander, also echoed.
"Yes! Victory will soon belong to us!"
Lieutenant General Xiangyue Qingji also interjected.
He will later take over the post of Major General Shozo Kawabe, the commander of the infantry brigade of the garrison army.
Of course, both sides still don’t know,
Therefore, their meeting and chatting were quite enjoyable.
But just when they thought victory was certain,
The flying troops dispatched by Zhou Wenhua were about to appear in the sky above the Japanese troops attacking Marco Polo Bridge.
Even in the airspace surrounding the Japanese troops in Wanping City, flying troops appeared.
