"The 29th China Route Army has become ours. As long as we increase the intensity of air strikes and bombings, and there is still time to cover the bombing with artillery fire, these China Army will be completely annihilated by us!"
"Yuanping City and Beiping City will become the new territories of our imperial army!"
Seeing the raging artillery fire, the smoke filling the sky, the flames soaring into the sky, the collapsed buildings everywhere, and the innocent soldiers and civilians who were injured or killed,
Lieutenant General Anichiro Tashiro, the commander of the garrison, smiled happily at Lieutenant General Kozuki Kiyoshi beside him.
"Yo Xi! That's inevitable!"
"Moreover, our reinforcements have already arrived at our designated combat positions in a steady stream. As long as we occupy China Yuanping City, our army can immediately launch a large-scale general offensive. It will definitely be possible to carry out a comprehensive attack within two or three days.
Capture the city of Beiping in Lower China! At that time, we can continue to send troops to the northwest of Shanxi and include those areas in our territory expansion!"
Lieutenant General Xiangyue Qingji also responded with a confident smile.
As the battle became more and more smooth,
Lieutenant General Xiangyue Qingji's ambitions also grew more and more.
Especially when I saw that the troops of the 29th Route Army were completely unable to conduct air defense operations and defend Yuanping City under the air raids and bombings of Japanese aircraft groups.
His smile became more and more confident, and he felt that victory would come soon.
"Well! Then we will capture alive the 132nd Division Commander Zhao Dengyu, the commander of China's 29th Route Army, and the deputy commander Tong Linge after China Yuanping City is broken!"
"We must make the record of our Imperial Army the most dazzling and awe-inspiring to all Chinese armies!"
"Especially those Chinese troops who dare to oppose us must let them feel our excellent combat capabilities!"
"By the way! What is Major General Zhengsan Hebian doing now? I really wish I hadn't seen him in a day!"
The commander of the garrison, Lieutenant General Anichiro Tashiro, was also in an increasingly good mood, and his confidence in combat was increasing.
"He is receiving the reinforcements from the division and arranging their next combat arrangements!"
Lieutenant General Xiang Yueqingji responded truthfully.
"Okay! Then after our Imperial Air Force launches the last round of air strikes, let's immediately let our army troops launch the final general attack and capture this Chinese city in one go!"
"It's time to end the battle here today. The next place we want to attack is Beiping City in China. As long as we capture it, we can complete the first phase of the combat mission!"
Lieutenant General Anichiro Tashiro, the commander of the garrison, nodded and responded.
"Hai! I will personally supervise the next battle!"
"We must fully capture China Yuanping City before the sun goes down today, and capture alive all the commanders of China 29th Route here!"
Lieutenant General Xiangyue Qingji also agreed and said.
"Yo Xi! I just like how confident you are!"
Lieutenant General Anichiro Tashiro, the commander of the garrison, praised him with great satisfaction.
Immediately, he continued to hold up the military telescope and continued to observe the scene of the final air raid in the distance where the Japanese planes were bombarding Yuanping City, and he felt more and more that victory was about to be realized before his eyes.
And at this time,
Tong Linge, deputy commander of the 29th Army, and the 29th Army commanded by Zhao Dengyu, commander of the 132nd Division, still defended Nanyuan desperately.
Even though he was injured, he still resolutely led his troops to fight fiercely to resist the incoming Japanese army.
Moreover, at this moment, they have no reinforcements, no supplies of weapons, equipment, and ammunition.
"Even if I die today, I will kill a few more Japanese!"
"In short, we cannot give up Yuanping City easily!"
"We cannot let the city of Peiping fall into danger from the Japanese army. There are still many civilians there who have not had time to evacuate. Once the city of Peiping is breached, thousands of civilians will suffer and be brutally attacked by the Japanese invaders."
Brutally killed!"
After seeing that the situation on his side was over and that he had fallen into a situation of fighting to the death,
Deputy Commander Tong of the 29th Army, who was also injured, gave the final battle-to-death order to Zhao Dengyu, the commander of the 132nd Division who was also slightly injured.
