"What is it? You said that a large group of Japanese soldiers was wiped out?”Zhou Weiguo's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Regiment commander, it was really a total annihilation, and there were only about 20 of them. I'm sure that they were our people. They discovered me and even pointed their guns at me. Then, someone who was killing the prisoners took them and ran away. They were very fast, and I didn't dare to chase after them.”
"More than 20 people killed a large Japanese team? How is this possible?" Zhou Weiguo felt that this fellow was lying to him, but this fellow grew up in the Zhou family and was his most trusted subordinate. It was impossible for him to lie to him.
However, he still could not believe that more than twenty people had done such a big job.
"Hahaha, Weiguo, what happened to make you so surprised?”
"General Zhang!" Hearing the voice, Zhou Weiguo immediately saluted.
This General Zhang was none other than the commander-in-chief of the 9th group army and the left wing army, General Zhang Zhizhong. His headquarters was not far from here, and he was Zhou Weiguo's superior, the one who promoted him to the 522nd regiment commander.
In fact, Zhang Zhizhong did not need to go there personally. He only needed a telegram or someone to convey it.
However, Zhang Zhizhong still came. Otherwise, he would feel that it was a little disrespectful.
Zhou Weiguo was also a young officer that he valued. He graduated from the Central Military Academy and had the experience of studying in the military academy in the country of Dé. His previous battles had also demonstrated his ability. He was a young officer worthy of being nurtured.
Weiguo, things have changed." Zhang Zhizhong sighed. He originally wanted to ask what had happened, but when he thought of the current situation, he could not help but sigh. He continued,"The Japanese have increased their troops again. There are nearly 200,000 Japanese soldiers in Shanghai now. Although our troops are claimed to be 500,000, the actual number invested is not that much.”
Zhou Weiguo nodded seriously. He knew this.
The troops stationed in Shanghai and Nanjing were all here. They were also the first batch of troops to enter the battle, but these were not the only two places in China.
The 500,000 troops were transferred from all over the country. The higher-ups had given a death order to arrive by the deadline. Otherwise, they would be punished by military law. Moreover, the transportation system was not developed at this time. What could they do?
For example, some troops stationed in Shaanxi basically crossed half of China. They only had one solution. The main force walked along the railway on foot, stopped a train, and then filled it with soldiers and headed straight for Shanghai.
In order to reach Shanghai before the deadline, they could only send a division to carry the flag of an army. The further east they went, the harder it was to travel. At this time, there were troops waiting to go to Shanghai, and there were supplies waiting to be transported to Shanghai everywhere.
A division would definitely not be able to make it, so a regiment carried the flag of an army and continued to move forward. Then, it became a battalion and a company. When they arrived in Shanghai, the company would place the flag of an army on the battlefield, and it would be considered as the arrival of an army.
But in reality? The main force of this army had not even left Henan. From Shanghai to Henan, there were soldiers of this army everywhere. Moreover, it was not just this army. The troops stationed further away were basically in the same situation.
They were also very anxious, but they had no choice but to do so.
This was also the reason why China had gradually turned from the dominant side to the passive side after the Japanese soldiers. It was also the reason why Zhang Zhizhong came here personally.
"The supplies and reinforcements at the back can't come up, and the front line is tight. I originally planned to send all these injured people down to recuperate, but the current situation doesn't allow it. Your regiment's situation is a bit special. Both your hands and your back are meat, so this time, you will need to lead your troops to the rear to resupply. Replenish as much as you can, and then rush back immediately with the lightly injured and reinforcements. You will only have about four days, no more than five days.”Zhang Zhizhong also felt that it was inappropriate to let the wounded continue fighting.
But what could he do if he was not suitable? No one else to use?
"General, can we leave later?”Zhou Weiguo frowned, but he did not reject Zhang Zhizhong's order. As the commander-in-chief, he had personally come to explain it to you. It would be shameless to refute it.
"Why?"
" About two hours ago, there was a battle about two kilometers south. I sent someone to investigate. He said that a large group of Japanese soldiers was wiped out, and they were all wiped out…" Zhou Weiguo did not know what to say. "What a joke…I want to see it for myself.”
"Let's go, I'll go with you!" When he heard that a Japanese team had been completely wiped out, Zhang Zhizhong was stunned at first, but then he was extremely excited.
Up until now, they had yet to wipe out a large group of Japanese soldiers. If this was publicized, it would definitely give the Chinese soldiers and civilians a boost in morale.
* Hiss…*
Two kilometers was not a long distance. Zhang Zhizhong still had a car. In less than ten minutes, the group arrived at the battlefield.
Looking at the corpses of the Japanese lying everywhere, Zhang Zhizhong couldn't help but gasp.
It was not that he had never seen so many corpses before. What he had never seen was that each of these Japanese soldiers had been shot at least twice. Moreover, all the officers had one characteristic. They were either directly cut in half or had a large piece missing from their bodies. The scene was extremely terrifying, as if it was hell.
“MG34!”Zhou Weiguo's expression changed drastically after checking the wounds on the Japanese.
As an elite who came back from studying abroad, he had naturally seen MG34 before. Moreover, there were some in the national army. Previously, their 522nd Regiment had one, but it was broken.
After looking at a few corpses, Zhou Weiguo became more and more frightened.
"Check these four directions. If there are bullet shells, pick them up.”Zhou Weiguo pointed at the four directions where they had set up their positions earlier. Judging the shooting position from the wounds was the most basic requirement.
Then, Zhou Weiguo picked up a shell that he had never seen before and frowned.
"General, do we have special forces?”
"Special forces?" Zhang Zhizhong was stunned. What was the special forces?
Looking at Zhang Zhizhong's reaction, Zhou Weiguo also knew the answer. If even Zhang Zhizhong did not know about the special forces, then where did these people come from?
"General, my subordinate saw these people. He said that there were only about twenty of them. According to the situation at the scene, they should have set up four machine gun positions in those four locations, and they were all made from Dé's MG34. I've never seen this shell before, so it should be a bullet from a new weapon. As for those Japanese officers, their wounds were definitely not caused by machine guns or rifles, but by cannons.”
"What is it? More than 20 people killed a large group of Japanese?”Zhang Zhizhong's expression changed drastically. The battlefield was too chaotic, and there were too many reports. There was no time to look at them one by one. Otherwise, Zhang Zhizhong would have seen the news of ten Japanese tanks being wiped out.
