Zaozhuang, the command center of the Iron Blood Army!
Gu Weiming waited for a call from the Tang De battlefront. It was Sun Qichang's voice. The war seemed to be over…
"Traveler, we won. We wiped out the Japanese infantry!!”
" However, Tangde Train Station has also been damaged beyond recognition. I reckon that within half a month of repair, the Jiaoji railway will be split into two from Tangde…"
When Chen Zhiwen and the others heard the news of the victory, they were in a good mood. Everyone was afraid of the Japanese army's combat strength. Although they had defeated the Japanese army on the battlefield in Shanghai, the result was that the national government could not bear the huge casualties. Therefore, even though they had won, they still signed an armistice agreement…
"Order the troops to rest in place and continue to hold on to Tangde Train Station. At the same time, clean up the battlefield. Whether it's the army under Han Fuqu who will arrive at the battlefield next or the Japanese army who will come from Jiaozhou as reinforcements, they cannot give up Tangde Train Station!!”
"Yes, traveler. I promise to complete the order!"
If he did not have a trump card, Gu Weiming was not a fool. He had already determined that both the National Government and Japan would not dare to continue provoking war at this time due to international pressure. The mediation of the war between the United States, Britain, and France had always been influential. In addition, the position of the Nanjing government was not very stable. Therefore, Gu Weiming had some unscrupulous and crazy development forces in Zaozhuang, opening factories and industries. Increase the size of the army!
Currently, the Iron-Blood Army had three infantry regiments under their command, with a strength of nearly 7,000 people. In addition to the 500 cloned soldiers, the rewards from the Red Alert Base for capturing the Tangde Train Station had not yet arrived. Therefore, the strength of the Iron-Blood Army had to be estimated. The most terrifying cloned soldiers were the combat ability of these soldiers. Whether it was the elite Japanese or the German army, in a war under the same system, an army formed by cloned soldiers would be invincible. There was no other way. He was a natural-born warrior!
The next day, the sky had just brightened when Tang De Train Station was completely reduced to ruins. Shattered rocks were scattered everywhere. Some black smoke that had yet to be completely extinguished was also intermittently rising. The Iron Blood Army soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield, as well as the captured Japanese soldiers. All of them were dejected. For some reason, they had actually lost this time. They had lost to the Chinese people whom they thought they would not lose!
Akinaka Jiro, the Japanese Army Major, committed suicide by dismemberment before he was defeated. The warriors of the Empire would not allow him to become a captive of the Chinese…
" Motherf * cker, what are you looking at?!"
Zhu Zhengwen of the Second Battalion used the end of his saber to knock the Japanese in front of him. Damn, that look in his eyes seemed to be very unconvinced!
"F * ck, if we fight another hundred times, the Iron Blood Army will be able to hang you bunch of Japanese up and beat you up!!”
The Japanese seemed to have been frightened by Zhu Zhengwen's fierce appearance. He immediately cowered and dared not glare at him anymore. Prisoners. These Japanese had become prisoners of the Iron Blood Army. Captives naturally had their uses. They were needed at construction sites, mines, and everywhere else…
Near the Tangde train station, Han Fuqu's army also appeared. They were all wearing the blue sky and white sun flag. The military emblem was familiar. Three months ago, Sun Qichang also wore it. However, now, he had changed into the military emblem of the Iron Blood Army's cross rifle. He was no longer a national army!!
"What do you think, Old Tang? The traveler is right. Even if Han Fuqu's army is really in our hearts, we won't dare to move!!”
Vice Commander Tang Dehai nodded in agreement. Han Fuqu's army had arrived for an hour, but they had not moved yet. Sun Qichang had also ordered his troops not to act rashly. Both sides had been in a stalemate for an hour!
The 68th Infantry Division under the 14th Group Army had a full force of 12000 soldiers. It had a 2nd Brigade 6th Regiment and an Artillery Battalion with six 75mm Mountain Cannons. Its commander was the National Army Major General Hu Zhiwen, who graduated from Baoding Military Academy in 1926. He was originally in the Beiyang and Anhui military system, but now he was under Han Fuqu as the commander!
"Master!"
"Gu Weiming's troops at Tang De Train Station have not retreated and are stationed in the southern direction of the train station. From the looks of it, they know we are coming!”
Hu Zhiwen held onto his military binoculars. Compared to some of the no-name military officers, he had attended Baoding Military Academy before, so he had some confidence in the battlefield. With just a few glances, he could confirm that the battle last night was not as calm as it seemed. In fact, there were dark waves surging. He could even see huge craters and countless marks on the walls that had not completely collapsed. Hu Zhiwen knew very well. Those were the traces of heavy machine gun fire. If not for the fierce firepower, such a scene would not have happened!
"To generate electricity for the Overseer. Tang De Train Station is under the control of Gu Weiming and has heavy weapons, so it is recommended to wait for the National Government's orders!!”
"Order the troops to retreat. They can't possibly let us attack Gu Weiming's army, right?”
Hu Zhiwen shook his head. If they really went to war with Gu Weiming's army, wouldn't that fall right into Nanjing's hands? This way, not only would Han Fuqu not agree, Hu Zhiwen would also not agree. This wasn't a good deal, harming others without benefiting himself. In the end, Nanjing would still benefit from it. They would get rid of Gu Weiming without bloodshed and reduce the strength of Han Fuqu's 14th Army. This was the trick that Generalissimo Jiang was most familiar with!
As for the news of the battle at Tangde Train Station, not only did the Japanese Army's division command center in Jiaozhou, but the Kwantung Army in the northeast and Japan also knew about this small scale battle…
However, the Japanese commander in China, Seishiro Itagaki, still wanted to be on the safe side. On June 18th, he officially ordered the Kwantung Army stationed in the three northeastern provinces to send reinforcements from Liaoning. In addition, the huge Japanese army stationed in Jinzhou, north of the Great Wall, was also ready to make a move. The Japanese side did not know that this war was started by the Iron Blood Army. The national army did not know at all, and they could not even give the order!
Jiaozhou, the headquarters of the 12th Division of the Japanese Army. A haze shrouded the sky above the city. There was no news of the infantry brigade at Tangde Train Station. Because this city was immigrated by the Japanese, the shops on the streets and the pedestrians on the road mostly had a strong Japanese style!!
