Commander Kobayashi watched this scene with his binoculars in disbelief. They were actually not afraid of poisonous gas?
However, when the smoke dispersed and he saw soldiers wearing ugly gas masks, he realized that the enemy had made preparations.
"Baka! They were all going to die!”Kobayashi cursed angrily.
At this moment, he was a little lost. Their regiment had lost almost two battalions in attacking a small position. It could be said that the 78th regiment had completely lost its combat effectiveness.
One could imagine how furious their regiment commander would be when he received the news. At the very least, he would not be able to escape from committing suicide.
After so many battles, the casualties of the first battalion were not small. They had lost at least a hundred people. After all, the Japanese's marksmanship was not for show. Their individual combat skills were very high.
Lu Jie was heartbroken by these losses. He did not expect that there would be so many casualties even with such a powerful firepower advantage.
Although they had paid a great price, the results were also very gratifying. In this day's battle, they had crippled two Japanese battalions. It could be said that the 78th regiment of the 20th division of the Japanese army had almost been crippled by them.
When Song Zheyuan heard this report, he found it unbelievable. A mere battalion of a few hundred people had actually wiped out more than 1000 Japanese.
Having participated in many wars against Japan, he knew very well how difficult it was to deal with the Japanese. How many brothers had sacrificed their lives in the battle of Xifengkou back then? Had the Japanese's combat effectiveness weakened or was the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment too strong?
Without a doubt, it was the latter. Song Zheyuan couldn't help but sigh at the generosity of the Global Arms Company. The armed forces were indeed different. If there were more of such troops, there might be hope in defending the Pingjin area.
The current situation was very unfavorable for the 29th division. Although the four courtyards of Beiping were defended, the casualties were also very heavy. These were all exchanged with the lives of the soldiers.
The advantage of the Japanese army was too great. Whether it was in terms of weapons and equipment or the quality of their personnel, they were much stronger than the 29th division. If it wasn't for the firearms bought by Global Arms Company, the casualties would have been even greater.
The thing that gave Song Zheyuan the biggest headache was the Japanese tanks. Although they were small tanks, they were a tough nut to crack for the soldiers of the 29th division. They would need to use cluster grenades to destroy the incomparably hard metal turtle.
Every time they encountered an attack by the Japanese tanks, they had to organize a suicide squad to blow them up. Otherwise, the threat to the position would be too great.
Just as Song Zheyuan was worrying about the war, a butler came in and reported,""Marshal, there's a person outside who claims to be the general manager of the Global Arms Company. He wants to see you and discuss something with you!”
A look of surprise flashed across Song Zheyuan's eyes. The boss of the Global Arms Company was looking for him? What could it be for?
"Quickly let him in and bring him to the living room!”Song Zheyuan said as he tidied up his military uniform.
Although he was at home, it was wartime. In order to express his determination, he was fully armed at home.
In the hall, Song Zheyuan heard a series of footsteps and understood that the butler had brought the mysterious General Manager of the Global Arms Company. The Global Arms Company was very powerful and could obtain many difficult firearms.
He just didn't know what this helmsman looked like.
Soon, a handsome young man with a crew cut entered his sight. This young man had a warm smile on his face, giving people the feeling of bathing in the spring breeze. It was very comfortable.
However, he was a little stunned. He was actually Chinese? This was beyond his expectations. He had never thought that the boss of such a powerful Global Arms Company was actually a young Chinese.
Lu Jie came in front of Song Zheyuan, smiled, and stretched out his hand."Commander Song, my name is Lu Jie, the general manager of Global Arms Company. Nice to meet you!”
Song Zheyuan came back to his senses and shook Lu Jie's hand out of habit. Clearly, he still could not believe it.
However, he was still an old fox who had been immersed in politics for many years. He definitely did a good job on the surface.
He laughed and said," I didn't expect the head of such a big company to be such a young Chinese man. You're indeed young and promising. When I was your age, I didn't even know where I was!"”
Song Zheyuan still could not believe Lu Jie's identity, but the next figure made him believe it. It turned out that Tan Ya, who was behind Lu Jie, had also come out and stood behind Lu Jie without saying a word.
In the past, it was this white man who negotiated with them. Now, her arrival was the best proof.
Lu Jie smiled and said,"It's all thanks to my ancestors that I have such a family business. To be honest, I have something important to discuss with Song Junchang!"”
Song Zheyuan took a sip of tea and said,"I wonder what it is? As long as I have the ability, I'll definitely do it for you!”
This was his biggest firearms supplier. He had to curry favor with him!
