Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

If this had happened in the past, Zhang Ling and the entire Eighth Route Army might have really been worried.

Because this means that three million well-equipped Japanese soldiers are about to enter Longguo.

Wage an inhumane war against the Dragon Kingdom.

But the problem is that the Eighth Route Army was very weak at that time.

It's okay to launch an ambush or a sneak attack.

But you are talking about a head-on battle with the well-equipped Japanese.

The National Army trained by Chiang Kai-shek was not good enough, let alone the Eighth Route Army.

But it's different now.

Now it has taken control of almost half of the Beilong Kingdom, as well as a large number of the Eighth Route Army in the Western Regions and Qinghai-Tibet Areas.

After almost half a year of production movement and integration.

Basically, the war potential of Dragon Country has been successfully mobilized.

Let’s put it this way, even if the Japanese army now launched a general attack on the Eighth Route Army’s cities in the north, even if five million troops were to attack.

The Eighth Route Army will not be afraid either.

Today, the Eighth Route Army has nearly six million troops in the north.

In other words, it will be no problem for the six million Eighth Route Army to fight against your three million Japanese devils.

Moreover, during this period of nearly a year, the Eighth Route Army had been carrying out a mass production campaign.

In other words, just the heavy weapons are replaced, the Type 95 automatic rifle.

As well as heavy machine guns and howitzers, the Eighth Route Army is now rapidly replacing its equipment.

Basically, in the past six months, at least two million troops have successfully replaced their equipment.

And subsequent troops are also gradually changing their equipment.

That is to say, in this case.

Even if the Japanese had three million, it would be useless.

Are you fighting against the well-equipped Eighth Route Army?

you sure?

Therefore, Zhang Ling was not worried at all.

What's more, in Baoding and other places in the north, they were ready to attack Beijing and Tianjin at any time.

The First Army also left behind 50,000 well-equipped First Army troops.

These 50,000 people are the ace troops among the ace troops.

Basically from airplanes to artillery to tanks as well as transport trucks.

It really has everything.

It can be said that it is the unit that the Eighth Route Army envies the most.

And these 50,000 people are directly under the command of the Eighth Route Army commander-in-chief.

There’s nothing we can do. The boss has been drooling for a long time.

With great difficulty, Zhang Ling went to attack Hubei and Jiangxi.

Naturally, these 50,000 people will satisfy the boss.

The boss had been waiting for the Japanese to attack for a long time.

If the Japanese really come.

That's great, the boss can try out how good it feels to command the entire annihilation of the Japanese.

Therefore, Zhang Ling was not worried at all.

"Zhao Gang, order the troops to continue advancing and capture the mission target as soon as possible."

“Complete the siege of Wuhan.”

"Yes!"

Zhao Gang received the order and hurried to notify each combat unit.

Just then, another soldier from the Intelligence Bureau also ran over.

"Commander, according to the report from the soldiers investigating in Wuhan."

"Many Japanese warships appeared at the Yangtze River Port in Wuhan."

"Preliminary estimates suggest it should be the Japanese Third Fleet originally stationed in Shanghai."

"How many ships are there?" Zhang Ling asked curiously.

"There are ten ships in total, including four destroyers, three battleships, two submarines and one torpedo boat!"

After hearing this, Zhang Ling smiled and nodded: "Very good, notify our air force at Xiangyang Airport."

"Order them to take off overnight and bomb the Japanese warships at the Yangtze River port in Wuhan in shifts around the clock."

"Oh, remember, be careful of the anti-aircraft guns of the Japanese destroyers. There will be no other problems."

"Yes!"

……

Prince Asaka Naruhiko drank some wine and recalled the situation when he and the imperial army attacked Nanjing.

When we entered Nanjing City at that time, we were really full of enthusiasm.

He never thought in his life that he would have the opportunity to enter the capital of the Republic of China.

He also followed the empire's warriors and personally killed many Dragon people.

The thought of killing 300,000 Dragon people in Nanjing.

Asakanomiya Naruhiko was extremely happy.

May your military fortune prosper!

Thinking of this, Asakanomiya Naruhiko picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

At this time, the sailors had already walked in.

"Commander, no suspicious situation was found on the surface of the Yangtze River."

"Should we expand the patrol area?" asked the sailor.

Asakamiya Jiuhiko glanced at him and said disdainfully, "Just patrol casually."

"No matter how powerful the Eighth Route Army is, they can never be a match for our big ships and big guns."

"Besides, helping those idiots in the army with patrols is already a great reward for them."

"Do they really want us to clean up their mess?"

"When the Eighth Route Army arrives and attacks Wuhan, our fleet will open fire."

“Don’t worry about it at other times.”

"Hayi!"

The sailor had just finished speaking and turned to leave.

Suddenly, there was a roar outside.

The sound seemed to be that of an airplane.

But Prince Higashikuni didn't care.

It must be an Imperial aircraft.

Ever since the war broke out on the Dragon Kingdom battlefield, Dragon Kingdom's pilots have basically been wiped out by the Empire's Air Force.

Therefore, in the sky of Dragon Country, there is only the Empire’s Air Force.

But I don’t know why the Empire’s Air Force came here today.

Could it be that the local troops have been dispatched?

Are you ready to provide support?

For this reason, Prince Asaka stretched his body and walked out of his lounge.

Just arrived on deck.

I saw a group of Japanese soldiers cleaning the deck, looking at the sky in the distance curiously.

But that direction seems to be towards Xiangyang.

Asakamiya Naruhiko frowned: "What's going on? What are you looking at?"

"Aren't you going back to clean up?"

A Japanese soldier with a pointed face and monkey cheeks also said cheerfully: "Commander, Your Excellency."

"We seemed to hear the sound of a plane coming."

"We're betting on whether it's the plane from the 3rd Air Force or the 2nd Air Force."

"The loser will be punished by having one person clean all the toilets!"

Hearing the soldier's interesting answer, Higashikuni Naruhiko also smiled and said, "As a soldier of the Imperial Navy, you shouldn't be lazy, right?"

"But I'm also curious, is it the plane from the 3rd Air Corps or the 2nd Air Corps?"

Having said that, Asakamiya Naruhiko turned his head and looked towards the direction where the loud engine sound came from in the sky.

After a while, densely packed black dots appeared in the sky.

The number of these small black spots is also jaw-dropping.

There are at least hundreds of small black dots.

Moreover, these small black dots move at extremely fast speeds.

After a while, I saw that the small black dot was getting bigger and bigger.

Finally, when everyone discovered these planes.

Suddenly, Asakanomiya Naruhiko discovered something was wrong.

"Since when did our Empire's planes have the hammer and sickle flag?"

Prince Asaka Naruhiko obviously did not expect that this was the flag of the Eighth Route Army Air Force.

Meanwhile, the first plane in the lead.

He is Colonel Yalou of the First Air Force Regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

He was also among the first batch of pilots selected for air force training.
