Chapter 529: Advance deployment decision for the Yangcheng operation
After facing the new commander Shunroku Hata's strong aura, all the Japanese division commanders immediately agreed with his decision and were willing to send troops to attack Xuzhou in half a month, and must win the battle.
For a time, the entire Japs headquarters was filled with passionate fighting spirit.
At this moment, in Commander Li's office in Xuzhou City, he also quickly received the news that He Feiyang had six Japanese Type 97 tanks at his station, and asked his Sichuan troops to
There is news about driving and military training with the Gui Army troops and some smarter soldiers in the Northeast Army troops.
"Six Japanese Type 97 tanks? Where did he get them?"
"Could it be that they were captured? But the troops he entered Xuzhou City did not see the latest Japanese tanks?"
"Even when he secretly entered Xuzhou City with his escort, he did not show up with these Japanese tanks? What is this situation?"
"Not only are there tanks, but there are also a lot of tank shells and ammunition supplies for vehicle-mounted machine guns?"
When Commander Li learned the news, he immediately looked puzzled and murmured to himself.
"Commander! Do you want me to dispatch personnel to conduct a secret investigation?"
"Six Type 97 tanks can form a tank team to fight against the Japanese army!"
"Let him train you! It's all for killing the Japanese anyway!"
"As long as large-scale tanks don't appear to fight the rebels, that's fine!"
"I can pretend that nothing happened!"
Commander Li waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to say anything.
"But wouldn't it be better if our troops could also have tanks and vehicles to assist in combat?"
"Perhaps Commander He also has some seizure channels that we don't know about, which can also allow us to obtain these Japanese tanks to cultivate our own tank troops!"
"Commander!"
But the adjutant Chen Shan suggested again.
Because he also hopes that Commander Li's main force can also obtain support from a group of tank troops.
If this is the case, then there is no need to be afraid of the Japanese tank troops.
Although the national army also has armored vehicle units and tank units, they were all beaten to pieces in the Battle of Songhu, and now there are basically very few left.
And if you want to buy it from foreigners now, you can't buy it.
"I will be more sensible now. I will go and talk to him personally. I won't need to talk or ask any more questions about the rest!"
Regarding his adjutant’s proposal,
Commander Li was also obviously moved.
However, he didn't want his adjutant Chen Shan to continue making talkative suggestions.
So, his face darkened, and he criticized the other party's talkative words with a cold face.
"Yes! I understand!"
"Commander!"
Seeing this, the adjutant Chen Shan was also sensible and stopped what he wanted to say.
Then, he immediately asked his adjutant Chen Shan to leave his office.
Therefore, he personally called He Feiyang's station and wanted to have a private chat with him, hoping to obtain some tanks to form his main force.
Of course, as for whether He Feiyang still had the Japanese Type 97 tanks, he didn't know that. He would have to ask before he knew.
But at this time, He Feiyang was notified by his own communications troops.
It was not long before I answered Commander Li’s call, and after a private conversation,
Commander Li agreed to get him six Type 97 tanks and a batch of ammunition.
Regarding this, Commander Li was also in a happy mood and praised He Feiyang.
As for He Feiyang, he was calm, smiled, said some polite words, and hung up the phone politely.
But just after he hung up the phone,
But he suddenly remembered,
1 In July 1938, when the Japanese base camp decided to attack Wuhan, it also planned to launch an invasion of Guangzhou and Yangcheng at the same time.
And on September 7, the decision of the imperial meeting at the Japanese base camp to formally "capture Yangcheng" was passed, and the Japanese 21st Army was quickly formed to take charge of the combat mission of capturing Yangcheng.
The 21st Army of the Japanese Army is commanded by Lieutenant General Kenro Furuzhuang, commander of the Taiwan Army, and has jurisdiction over the 5th Division, the 18th Division, the 104th Division and the 4th Flying Group, and is headed by the Japanese Navy's Fifth Fleet.
Cooperate with the 21st Army to attack key areas near Yangcheng, so as to completely cut off the national army, all main communication routes to foreign countries, and supply navigation routes for weapons, equipment, ammunition, and supplies.
And very quickly, they occupied the entire Yangcheng.
"Huh! I almost forgot that these Japanese Japanese troops not only captured Xuzhou this year, but also launched an invasion of Wuhan and Yangcheng, two big cities!"
"Perhaps the Yangcheng side of Guangzhou also needs to make arrangements!"
After recalling,
He Feiyang also frowned and made up his mind.
Immediately, he also called Commander Liu Xiang, hoping to get more Sichuan Army recruits from him to be deployed in the future Yangcheng battle.
