Bright Sword: I am Li Yunlong's old squad leader

Chapter 149: The Japs Are Getting More Spirited

None of the more than 40 Japanese bombers escaped, all were shot down or damaged.

Looking at the planes flying away with long trails of black smoke, Li Yunlong nodded with satisfaction.

Those planes pulling black smoke will definitely not be able to reach the airport.

There was only one fate waiting for those planes, and that was to crash to the ground mid-flight.

Sure enough, in less than five minutes, the planes pulling black smoke crashed into the top of the mountain one after another.

"It's great, it's fucking great." Li Yunlong jumped off the four-barrel anti-aircraft gun, "Brothers, listen to me, go support the old squad leader now, no one can delay me."

"Yes……"

The soldier who was hiding in the woods just now rushed out of the woods quickly.

The crowd marched eastward in a mighty procession.

…………

The Japanese army headquarters.

Minamishiro's office.

"Sir, Ryuji Akutagawa's defense line has been breached." A combat staff officer ran up to Nanjiro and said loudly.

When Nanjiro heard this, he couldn't help but tremble all over.

"Damn it! There's no way Akutagawa Ryuji could lead a division of troops. How could the Chinese break through so easily?"

"Akutagawa Ryuji sent me a telegram yesterday. He has gathered a lot of defeated soldiers. He has concentrated at least 30,000 to 40,000 troops in the defensive position on the east side of Taihang Mountain.

These 30,000 or 40,000 imperial soldiers were easily broken through by the enemy. How many people are there on the other side?"

After hearing this, the combat staff officer shook his head. He didn't know how many people were in Wang Tianyou's team.

"Sir, the aviation brigade sent a telegram." Another operations staff officer walked in.

"Tell me quickly! What is the content of the telegram sent by the aviation brigade?" Nanjiro could already vaguely sense that something was wrong.

"The aviation brigade sent out 300 planes, but not a single one has returned in more than five hours. The aviation brigade estimated that these planes were most likely in trouble."

After hearing this, Nanjiro suddenly felt his whole body go limp and he collapsed directly into the chair. Several combat staff officers rushed forward to support him.

The Japanese Type 800 bomber was loaded with gallons of fuel.

This amount of fuel can only keep the bomber in the air for one hour and 45 minutes.

If the planes don’t return within five or six hours after takeoff, it means that this batch of planes is completely finished.

"These Chinese people should not be underestimated." After saying this, Nanjiro went straight to the operations meeting room.

…………

In the operations meeting room, Nanjiro reported the situation with difficulty.

All the Japanese soldiers looked as ugly as if they had swallowed a fly.

"Sir, I think we should retreat immediately."

"These Eighth Route Army soldiers are coming in full force. They are well-armed and our current forces are not enough to resist their attack."

"Sir, I also mean to get out of here as soon as possible."

When Nanjiro heard that among the dozen or so Japanese soldiers, more than half of the officers actually advocated retreat, he slammed the table and stood up.

"Bagayalu, you good-for-nothings are a disgrace to the imperial soldiers!

His Majesty the Emperor is always watching us.

There is no escape in the dictionary of the imperial soldiers, only death in glory."

Nanjiro has just taken office.

If he were to choose to escape at this time, it would be better to kill him directly.

"Watanabe-kun, send a telegram to check where the batch of poison gas bombs are?"

Nanjiro knew that if there was no way to stop the attack of Wang Tianyou and his men, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Sir, His Majesty the Emperor has provided us with 5000 tanks, 500 of which have already been transported along the Yangtze River. They will be able to reach us within two days."

When the Japanese heard this, they were extremely happy.

The Japanese emperor has realized that if he wants to completely occupy China, he must deploy more troops.

The Japanese emperor ordered Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to produce at least 5000 tanks within a year at all costs and put them all into the Chinese battlefield.

Although 500 tanks may not sound like a lot, it is by no means a small number for the Japanese who are short of resources.

The Japanese soldiers suddenly gained confidence.

Poison gas bombs are about to arrive, and 500 tanks are also about to arrive.

With these weapons, these Japanese devils are not afraid of anyone.

“General, 500 fighter planes will also arrive tomorrow.

The Ministry of Defense just sent a telegram saying that they will send us another 500 tanks and 500 fighter planes within a month."

When the Japanese heard this, they immediately started shouting.

"With these weapons, we can not only destroy the attacking Eighth Route Army, but also retake northwestern Shanxi."

"General, I can't wait to fight this bunch of idiots."

"General, I request to go into battle."

"General, I also want to go to the battle."

These senior Japanese officers started shouting loudly.

Nanjiro then nodded.

"The aviation brigade must conduct reconnaissance of all roads near the Army Base Camp for 12 hours without interruption."

“Besides that, nearby troops are always ready for battle.

As soon as this batch of tanks arrives, I will first distribute them to the front-line combat troops."

"Everyone, rest assured, the aviation brigade will provide you with air cover.

We have bacteria, bombs and poison gas bombs, so why should we be afraid of these damn Chinese people?"

There was immediate deafening applause at the scene.

…………

All of Wang Yanyou's troops changed into the Japanese military uniforms.

They drove the Japanese side three-wheeled motorboat and traveled the whole way as if they were in an empty space.

The Japanese soldiers we met were simply interrogated and then let go.

What was even more unexpected was that many of the Japanese soldiers also pointed out the way to the army headquarters for them, and these Japanese soldiers almost led the way for them.

Wang Tianyou's team had a smooth sailing.

Wei Dayong led a small team and conducted reconnaissance on motorcycles.

That night, Wei Dayong's team sent back a telegram.

"Brigade Commander, the monks have discovered a large number of Japanese tanks. All of these Japanese tanks are transported by rail." Zhang Dabiao couldn't wait to run to Wang Tianyou with the telegram.

Wang Tianyou took the telegram and read it, and he was extremely excited: "These little devils think they can defeat us with just a few hundred tanks. This is simply wishful thinking and daydreaming."

Although Wei Dayong did not specify how many tanks the Japanese had, it can be seen from Wei Dayong's telegram that the Japanese had transported hundreds of tanks by rail.

Wang Tianyou has always looked down on the Japanese tanks, which are basically first-class tanks.

Even their most advanced Type 26 tanks were no match for the T tanks.
