"Bang!" At the Nanjing frontline command, Matsui Ishigane's roar echoed in the office.
"Bastards, a bunch of idiots. You don't even know who your enemy is. You idiots, you should commit suicide.”Matsui Iwane roared at the three major generals in front of him.
The three major generals looked at each other and stood up straight, allowing Matsui Iwane to scold them.
After venting his anger, Matsui Ishine sat down and threw a telegram at their faces.
"Take a look for yourselves. Who exactly is your opponent?”
Gu Shoufu picked up the telegram and saw a bold Chinese title on it.
" The National Government's commendation order. Today, Major General Zhou Weiguo, the commander of the National Revolutionary Army's Independent Army Division, is fearless in the face of danger. He used a division of troops to stop the devils in Nanjing and bought time for the people to retreat. In recognition of Zhou Weiguo's spirit of dying to live and die with Nanjing, he is hereby promoted to the 19th route army. Zhou Weiguo is hereby promoted to the lieutenant general of the 19th route army.”
After Gu Shoufu finished reciting, the three major generals 'faces turned ashen. After fighting for half a day, the enemy only had one infantry division.
"What a joke. After fighting for half a day, the three of you don't even know who your opponent is, and you keep saying that you've encountered the Central Army's Teaching Corps. Is this an excuse for your incompetence?”
" This 19th Route Army was formerly the 522nd Regiment, and it was only two days ago that it was promoted to an independent division. The credit actually goes to that idiot Nakajima Kamigo's head.”
"Do the three of you want to add another stroke to Zhou Weiguo's record so that he can become the youngest general?
"This independent division is a division level force, but it's only a brigade. Your three divisions have close to 100,000 people, but you were ambushed by these defeated soldiers and couldn't advance for two days.”
"Two days, hundreds of thousands of people have escaped from the river in front of your eyes.”
Iwane Matsui couldn't suppress his anger and kept roaring. He had just sent a telegram to Jingdou, saying that he had conquered Nanjing and would hold a ceremony to enter the city in a few days to show off the glory of the empire to the world.
However, it had only been a short while, and three Regiments had been ambushed by the defeated enemy for two days. If this were to spread, where would he put his face?
He wanted to kill these three idiots, but he restrained himself. After all, these two were also lieutenant generals. They might be on the same level as him that day.
"I'll give you three one more day. You must take down the Chinese people's position.”Iwane Matsui suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly.
" This…" The three of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly in their hearts. Commander, we want to take it down too.
However, the firepower of this group of Chinese people was too fierce. Their individual weapons were actually slightly better than theirs.
Be it heavy artillery, chariots, or infantry, they were all useless.
The three Regiments had lost more than five thousand men, and other than occupying a few streets, they had gained nothing else.
The anti-missile defense team had lost a heavy artillery brigade and a tank brigade.
This battle result simply made the three of them lose all their face.
"What, you three don't have confidence?”Matsui Iwane sensed that something was wrong and asked with a frown.
"Commander, I really don't have confidence. This independent division, oh no, the 19th route army is really strange. Their ordinary soldiers are equipped with rifles that are faster than our firing rate, and they have more heavy machine guns than our entire division. The most important thing is that their battalion-level units have mortars as support, and they also have a large number of 105mm howitzers.”Gu Shoufu braced himself and explained.
"You two think so too?”Matsui Iwane frowned and asked. He knew that Shoufu Tani was a very arrogant person. Since he said so, it must be true.
" Yes, this 19th Route Army is very powerful and definitely not ordinary. I've studied their weapons carefully. They are all American equipment. The heavy machine guns are Browning heavy machine guns, and the howitzers are all M-type. Other than the German-style military uniform, the rest are all American equipment. Or rather, they are called American Machinists wearing German-style military uniforms.”Lieutenant General Yoshika Ryosuke said.
"Moreover, they are not a division of soldiers now, but an army. According to the information sent back by the intelligence personnel, Zhou Weiguo has wantonly recruited those defeated soldiers. After a short reorganization, they were incorporated into the combat forces.”
He had specially researched Zhou Weiguo's troops and had even asked the intelligence staff officer to specially collect some information, so he was so clear about it.
"In that case, Zhou Weiguo's 19th Army will be our biggest obstacle in taking down Nanjing?”Matsui Iwane asked with a frown.
"Yes." The three of them looked at each other and said at the same time.
"It looks like the 18th and 114th Regiment will also be mobilized.”Matsui Iwane said while stroking his chin.
"Commander, you are wise." The three of them flattered at the same time.
"Master, there's a clear text." Zhou Weiguo, who was drafting a battle plan in the command center, heard the communicator's words.
"Clear text? Record it." Zhou Weiguo frowned, but he still got the signal soldier to record it.
Soon, the signalman began to write on the white paper.
"Master, no, General, congratulations on your promotion.”the signalman said excitedly.
"What? Did I become a commander?" Zhou Weiguo was dumbfounded.
