At 8:12 PM, at Tangde Train Station, the 75mm mountain cannon company under the 1st Infantry Regiment of the Iron Blood Army officially arrived at the front line of the battlefield. With Tangde Train Station as the center, about 200 meters of the battle line, the Japanese army and the Iron Blood Army were fighting desperately. Both sides wanted to push their offensive line forward!!!
This time, it was the Infantry Regiment One who was responsible for the attack on the Tangde railway station. There were nearly 2,000 soldiers. It was not only the three infantry battalions under its jurisdiction, but also the regiment headquarters and the artillery unit. The commander of the Infantry Regiment One, Sun Qichang, was currently with his deputy commander, Li Changsheng. The geographical situation of the Tangde railway station was not complicated. Other than a railway line, there was also a road paved with sand and stones. If the Iron Blood Army could discover it at the first moment, the entire Jiaozhou Peninsula and Shandong would probably be thrown into chaos once Tang De moved!
Gu Weiming's actions meant that he had to re-plan the Nanjing government's policies…The telegram sent from Jinan to the Nanjing presidential palace was also sent to Nanjing after Han Fuqu gave a few instructions!
The presidential palace in Nanjing was heavily guarded. To Chairman Jiang, he was now the commander-in-chief of the Republic of China. The warlords from all over the country had announced their participation in the National Government. Although they had different intentions, they all had to respect Nanjing. Therefore, Bald Jiang's prestige was growing!
With the support of the US, their momentum was even more overwhelming. However, in the face of the Japanese invasion, Generalissimo Jiang had no choice but to back down. There was no choice. If they fought against Japan, there was a high chance that the Chinese army would face a huge defeat…
They could only delay until the national army finished equipping the German Machinists. That was why the National Government did not move!
"Darling, father has won the support of the US Congress and agreed to give you and the national government an economic loan of nearly 50 million US dollars!”
He had just seen the telegram sent by Zhang Xueliang from Chengde. In the telegram, Zhang Xueliang had repeatedly reiterated that his Northeast Army must be transferred back from the northwest immediately, instead of wasting time with the local warlords. However, Baldy Jiang, who had deliberately done this, would not care about Zhang Xueliang's opinion. The Northeast Army would be completely scattered by him in at most a year. At that time, Zhang Xueliang would not have any military power under him. As for the title of Deputy Commander of the Republic of China's Army, Navy, and Air Force... It was just an empty one!
"Okay, okay, Madam. This fifty million USD is enough for the Central Army to arm ten more German Machinists. Madam, you're really a timely help this time!!”
Baldy Jiang was in a rare good mood. The war in Songhu had just ended, and Nanjing had allocated a lot of funds. The taxes from all over the country had not been paid yet. The current strength of the Central Army, after the Northern Expedition and the Central Plains War, was absolutely obedient to the Nanjing National Government. There were nearly 60 infantry divisions, including the first-class division, second-class division, and third-class division. The configuration and strength were different. In addition, there were other supplementary brigades, as well as the Gui, Xiang, Sichuan, and Yue armies. He estimated that China had nearly four million soldiers…
Dong dong dong!
The crisp knocking on the door brought the chairman back to his senses!
"Come in!"
" Commissioner, a telegram from Jinan!"
The chairman frowned. Han Fuqu?？
Shandong had always been Han Fuqu's territory. Could it be that there was news from Gu Weiming?
He immediately opened the telegram. Just a few words made the chairman's body feel as if it had fallen into a cold cellar. Japan had restarted the war and launched an attack at the Tangde railway station in Shandong!!
"Mother Xi Pi!"
"Presumptuous, Japan is going too far. The Battle of Shanghai has just ended, and the armistice agreement was signed less than three months ago.？”
Pa!
Baldy Jiang slammed his palm heavily on the office table. He was furious. War, war, 918. Japan invaded the northeast, and Zhang Xueliang was scolded half to death by the people. On the battlefield of Songhu, the party and state even sent out their elites. The war had been going on for nearly a month, and now, the Japanese army had rekindled the flames of war in Shandong. However, during this period of time, there was no movement of the Japanese army. Moreover, Shandong was not like the northeast, where the Japanese army had always been stationed. In addition, the Liaodong Peninsula was close to the Korean Peninsula. It would be easy for the Japanese army to send more troops!!
"Power Han Fuqu, you must be careful in the Shandong matter. If the Japanese army continues to be bold and rash, order Han Fuqu to fight against the Japanese with all his strength!!”
The outcome of the battle in Songhu had changed the course of history. Bald Jiang's heart for resisting the Japanese was much stronger than the original history!!
At this moment, at the Tangde train station in Shandong, the battle between the two sides had reached a white-hot state. The train station was not spacious to begin with. In addition, the Iron Blood Army continued to compress the battlefield and used the 75mm rapid-fire mountain cannon to crazily pour firepower. The station building of Tangde train station was directly reduced to a pile of ruins. All kinds of explosions sounded endlessly. The flood of heavy machine guns was like a lightning storm, causing the Japanese's firepower to be greatly suppressed at this time!
Zhou Tao led a few of his brothers and aimed the light machine gun at the Japanese in front of them. They fired at them. The Japanese's 38-inch gun cover was very inconvenient to twist because of its length. Usually, because of this extremely long gun barrel, many people died!!
"Pui!"
"Look at these Japanese. What stupid design. Now, with such a long gun barrel, they can't even run!!”
Zhou Tao cursed. F * ck, if they were fighting with a bayonet, the size of this rifle could really be of some use. But now, it could only be a burden!
Zhou Tao's footsteps became faster and faster. The few soldiers behind him were all veterans that Zhou Tao had selected, so they all followed Zhou Tao's footsteps. Moreover, when they killed, they never showed mercy. Compared to those new recruits, they were much stronger!
"Major!"
"A large number of Chinese soldiers have appeared behind the train station!!”
Akinaka Jiro was also in a defensive bunker, and the ground was still shaking. Even though the Imperial Japanese Army had been ambushed this time, with the powerful combat ability of the Imperial Army, the battle was divided into 50 - 50. Moreover, the Type 92 Infantry Cannons of the infantry brigade were not mobilized because they were stationed here. Otherwise, they would not have been suppressed by the mountain cannons of the Chinese army. The difference between the Imperial Grenade Thrashers and the large-caliber mountain cannons was too great. Its power was simply not enough!
"Baka! These Chinese pigs deserve to die. Mizishima, bring a team over and seal off the Chinese people's retreat. Eat these Chinese pigs!!”
Akinaka Jiro's eyes were cold. To the Japanese Empire, everything in China should belong to the emperor and the entire Japanese Empire!!
