Inside the city of Nanchang, Commander Yang Sen was among the first to know that the commander of the Japanese 13th Division, Ogisu Tatehei, and the new Japanese 13th Division Chief of Staff, Watanabe Yukiya, were commanding their main elite troops of the Japanese army.
Launch an attack on Fengyang and Bengbu. We have always planned to force the main force of the Japanese army to cross the Huaihe River at Bengbu and Linhuaiguan and launch an attack on the north bank.
"Damn Japs! They have really launched a war again. It seems that this time their target is Xuzhou City!"
"But there will also be opportunities to attack the side of Nanchang where I am defending. Fortunately, that boy He Feiyang gave me a lot of German weapons, light weapons, equipment, and ammunition to supply the troops. Although Zhi armed a German weapon division unit,
But in the face of the Japanese attack, we still have certain defensive capabilities!"
"At least he gave me a field artillery unit and a batch of anti-aircraft machine guns. I also have some self-protection capabilities in terms of air defense. As long as the Japanese aircraft group's attack is not a large-scale air attack, then I can still drive them away against a small number of Japanese aircraft groups.
of!"
After learning that the Japanese army had gathered in Fengyang and Bengbu areas and would launch offensive operations at any time,
Commander Yang Sen suddenly looked solemn and murmured to himself.
For him, who once commanded troops and fought life-or-death duels with the Japanese army at Dunwu Temple and Chenjiaxing in Songhu, and also killed many Japanese,
He was well aware of the Japanese army's wolfish ambitions.
The Japanese army's attack this time obviously wanted to occupy the entire Xuzhou city and continue to expand their occupied area.
Maybe I want to swallow up the entire country in one go.
Therefore, Commander Yang Sen also clenched his fists, preparing to have a big fight with the Japanese army here in Nanchang at any time.
This is different from the original time and space. In March, there was a tug-of-war with the Japanese troops outside Wuning City. After being defeated, they immediately evacuated.
And the performance when being attacked by the Japanese Botian detachment at night and driven out of Anqing City in one night is a little different.
Because he now has a German weapon division unit, and also has an anti-aircraft anti-aircraft machine gun unit, a 75 mm field gun combat unit, and a German weapon division equipment, so he has sufficient confidence.
A lot.
In the past, he was only worried that his Sichuan army did not have sophisticated weapons and equipment, so the Japanese army took advantage of the battle.
But now that his Sichuan troops have been equipped with German armorer equipment, they are no longer afraid of head-on combat with the Japanese army.
At least the Sichuan troops under his command felt that they would not lose much to the Japanese army when killing the enemy on the battlefield. In terms of fighting the enemy bravely, they were not afraid that they would lose to the Japanese army.
After muttering, Commander Yang Sen immediately went to personally train his direct troops to make them more proficient in using German weapons and equipment to fight.
And it also conveyed to all the Sichuan officers and soldiers that the Japanese army had begun to launch the offensive in the Xuzhou operation, and asked everyone to step up military training to prepare for the Japanese army to attack at any time, including the anti-aircraft machine gun units for air defense operations. According to this, let them continue to carry out
Air defense alert and military training must be successful in air defense.
Even better, it would be even more perfect if it could shoot down one or two Japanese planes.
And at this time,
In Teng County,
Commander Wang of the 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army also learned that the Japanese army had begun to attack Xuzhou after completing the military training of his German weapons troops.
His expression also became very solemn,
And he immediately called He Feiyang to discuss mutual cooperation in this Xuzhou operation.
"Did you know that the Japanese army began to attack the cities in Xuzhou?"
After the phone call was made, Mr. Wang immediately spoke to He Feiyang straight to the point.
The worry is clearly exposed.
"I know! The whole of Xuzhou has begun to enter a wartime combat state. Now let's see the news about the battle situation of the 51st Army of the National Army and the incoming Japanese troops!"
"In addition, I heard that the troops of Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army are also paying attention to the fighting situation on that side, and may take action to support the battle, so I think the fighting on that side may be more intense!"
"In addition, the battle in Teng County will also be a fierce battle, because according to my intelligence information, a large number of elite Japanese troops will attack on your side. As for which Japanese troops, I am collecting intelligence.
We will tell you in advance when the time comes, so you must step up military training to make your troops proficient in the use of German weapons and equipment!"
"Logistics supplies, I will airborne to your side tonight, just be ready to receive them then!"
"I will also dispatch one of my troops to support you in the battle!"
He Feiyang responded equally straightforwardly.
"Thank you then, Commander He!"
"By the way, which station are you and your troops stationed at now? Or are you fighting with the main force in Xuzhou against the incoming Japanese army?"
After hearing this,
Mr. Wang also breathed a huge sigh of relief.
He felt that the pressure on his logistical supply and the lack of supporting troops were all relieved.
However, he immediately asked where He Feiyang was stationed.
"We are still in Xuzhou City for now. As for the subsequent deployment there, we have to wait for the orders needed for the battle!"
"After all, I heard that the number of Japanese troops attacking this time exceeded 240,000!"
He Feiyang responded calmly.
"What!"
"More than 240,000 elite Japanese troops? So many Japanese troops are attacking!"
After hearing that the number of Japanese troops attacking was completely unexpected,
Teacher Wang was immediately shocked, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed.
He never thought that this time in the Xuzhou battle, he would compete with so many elite Japanese troops.
