Japanese military camp in Yangshupu, Pujiang

A shrill whistle sounded. Two-thirds of the Japanese soldiers were resting in the barracks. After hearing the whistle, they quickly got up from their beds. Many Japanese soldiers did not even take off their clothes because their superiors had said long ago that there might be some urgent matters in the next two days, so everyone had to maintain a semi-combat state when sleeping.

Although the superiors did not say it explicitly, ordinary Japanese soldiers also understood that the war in Pujiang might be coming in the next few days. Tianjin City has already been taken, but according to some experienced veterans, it is not easy to take Tianjin City. The apparent casualties have exceeded 200,000, and the actual casualties are at least close to 300,000.

So once the war breaks out in Pujiang, many of us may not be able to meet again.

According to many of them, the war in Pujiang will be delayed for at least a while. After all, there are still many overseas Chinese on the Yangtze River, and it will take about a week for them to gather in Pujiang. Before these overseas Chinese are withdrawn, a real war cannot be fought.

But the sound of the whistle at this moment already represents the state of combat.

Many people quickly rushed into the position, and some climbed to a high place to look out.

There are already a large number of vehicles coming towards this side from the corner in the distance, and it seems that they are coming with bad intentions.

Normally, there are almost no cars coming around the Japanese military camp. Even vehicles from Western countries try to go around here. It’s not that they are afraid, but they don’t want to have the trouble. It’s so late today, how could there be so many cars coming?

"Prepare the anti-tank guns."

Before the Japanese soldiers could figure out the situation, their squadron leader had already issued an order to drag out more than a dozen 37mm anti-tank guns from the warehouse. These were specially designed to deal with armored vehicles and tanks.

After the Battle of Tianjin broke out, Pujiang also sent special military observers. The speed of local replenishment was too slow, so the Japanese Marines stationed in Pujiang used their own weapons supply system to purchase a large number of Type 37 anti-tank guns from the West.

At this moment, there are at least more than thirty anti-tank guns lined up on the position.

Compared with the past, the Japanese army is no longer the army that has no ability to fight back. If a war really breaks out now, the 72nd Army will suffer heavy losses.

"What's that sound? It seems different from what I've heard before."

Some Japanese soldiers have already felt that there seem to be some other things in the armored corps that came this time.

Some Japanese officers also heard it, but it was pitch black in front of them and they couldn't see clearly, so they could only worry in their hearts.

But the people at the Pujiang Police Department knew that this was a new type of tank that Li Shaoyi had added to their troop after returning from Southeast Asia.

M4 Sherman tank, this is the new type brought by Li Shaoyi's system, but Li Shaoyi was not very happy. In Li Shaoyi's heart, he actually hoped that a large number of German tanks would appear, but for some reason this thing appeared in the system.

In comparison, it is much more powerful than the original M24 light tank, so Li Shaoyi temporarily installed a batch of them in warehouses in various places to deal with various emergencies.

When such an incident happened in Pujiang this time, Wu Zhenlei, after asking for instructions, finally sent out all 37 tanks. Leaving them in the ammunition depot was of no use at all. If the Japanese were to find their way back, these things might become theirs. It might be very exciting to kill us on the battlefield, so we simply sent them all out to the battlefield while they were in our hands, allowing them to show off their power and practice their skills on the Japanese.

To be honest, many Japanese soldiers held their breath when a Sherman tank passed by under the searchlight.

They had seen the light tanks of the 72nd Army before. Although they caused considerable casualties to them, they were still within their knowledge.

When this medium tank passed by them, these people didn't know what to say.

The 72nd Army's weapons and equipment are updated so rapidly. Does they have a weapons research institute? Even if they do, where exactly are they produced? Isn't the Fengtian Arsenal in Northeast China the largest arsenal in Asia? Could it be that they are produced for them by European and American countries? Would any European and American country dare to offend Japan, which is so diligently supporting the 72nd Army?

Whether they were Japanese soldiers or officers, their minds were full of question marks at this moment. They didn't know where these things came from, but they knew that these things could cause them huge casualties on the battlefield.

"Everyone, brace yourself! We've added a lot of weapons to counter tanks. This tank isn't much bigger than the original one, and its defense isn't that strong either. As long as you bring out the skills you've trained, our Japanese soldiers will never lose to these Chinese on the battlefield."

The combat officer saw that some of the soldiers around him were scared and hurriedly began to boost morale, but the problem was that compared with the Type 37 anti-tank gun and the new tank in front of them, any soldier with a normal brain would know which weapon had the more powerful upgrade.

The Japanese did update their equipment, but the 72nd Army also updated its equipment. In terms of the extent of the update, ours is much less than theirs. Can we trust them just by looking at their words?

Of course, even if these Japanese soldiers didn't believe it, they didn't dare to say it out loud. Those officers really dared to slap you in the face. Some officers even carried wooden sticks with them and would beat their men if they didn't obey. In the Japanese army, if an officer couldn't explain clearly, he could only use a stick to explain it to you. Many officers thought this method was very effective.

"Stop talking, Colonel Uchida is out."

As the base's external liaison officer, Colonel Uchida went out with two soldiers. In the past, conflicts often occurred between the two sides, but since Li Shaoyi returned from Southeast Asia, both sides knew that this period was more sensitive, so it was rare for people from the Pujiang Police Department to run outside the military camp. I wonder what's wrong today?

Gui Tongfa, the commander of the Pujiang Security Regiment, saw the Japanese coming from a distance, jumped off the tank, and walked forward while lighting a cigarette.

When he saw that it was just a regimental commander, Colonel Uchida frowned, but didn't say anything. This was not the first time that the 72nd Army did not follow the rules.
