On March 21st, 1938, the reconnaissance plane reported that the enemy was only a day away.
"Commander, the tank division is always ready!”
"Alright, alright, cut the crap! I didn't call you here today to show your determination, but to let you think about how to deal with it.”
"Commander, there's actually nothing much to deal with. We just need the previous battalion and our tank division!"”
"I know that!" Xia Zilong said. You have so many tanks and cannons. If you can't destroy them all, you can take off your clothes!
But I'm not talking about them, I'm talking about the future!”
"Oh, are you worried that more and more devils will come?”
"Won't it? How could they not attract attention when they could easily annihilate an entire regiment?”
Tie Guozhu nodded." That's right. There's no precedent in the entire country where a regiment was destroyed. If we do it, the next time they come, there will be at least a regiment!"”
Xia Zilong said,"One division is nothing. We'll take in as many as they come." However, we need to stall for time. A month is good, or our infantry will not have the ability to fight.”
Tie Guozhu frowned. This was indeed a key factor that restricted them.
Most of the 20,000 soldiers did not have rifles. They were only given a lot of machine guns and submachine guns.
However, since they couldn't even aim their rifles accurately, it would be even more difficult to control the machine guns and submachine guns.
Now, they could only use a large number of bullets to speed up their training. At the very least, they had to be able to shoot people with machine guns instead of wasting bullets.
" Commander," Tie Guozhu said," there's no better way now. We can only use the advantage of equipment to offset the lack of infantrymen. Let's buy some time!"”
"Alright, that's the only way."
The next morning, Tie Guozhu led the tank division and the infantry battalion to the northwest along the Dongyang River to meet the incoming enemy.
Eerdong Town
A Japanese regiment rested here for the night.
At this moment, Colonel Yoshida was urging his subordinates to prepare to set off. He wanted to reach Xinghe County as soon as possible so that he could make more contributions.
"Your Excellency, the troops are ready and can set off at any time!”
"Yuxi, set off immediately. Try to have lunch in Xinghe County at noon!”
"Ha Yi!"
The elite army of nearly 4000 people quickly set off, their target pointing to Xinghe in the south.
They belonged to the independent 13th regiment under the Mongolian army, and they were under the 26th division.
Originally, they were just going to patrol Jining and assist the security forces there to deal with some resistance. They did not expect to suddenly receive an order to recover Xinghe County.
This made them a little overjoyed. It was good to have enemies. Only then could they make contributions!
They quickly went south from Jining and only took a day and a half to get close to Xinghe County.
Not long after they left, Mine Yoshida, who was sitting in the car, suddenly received an unexpected situation.
"Your Excellency, we just noticed a plane passing by!”
Plane?
This was nothing!
It was normal for the Empire's planes to patrol back and forth!
"Yes, it's normal for a plane to pass by!" He nodded.”
"But the other party doesn't look like our plane.”
"What is it? Did you see it clearly?"
"Yes, Your Excellency! First Brigade's captain, Lieutenant General Iwata Bunnizo, had personally seen it and confirmed that it was correct!”
"Oh!" Colonel Yoshida nodded.
This was really an unexpected situation. An aircraft of unknown origin had actually appeared at this time.
"Order the telegram operator to immediately ask the headquarters if the Imperium has a new plane or if something is patrolling the plane.”
"Ha Yi!"
The Mongolian army headquarters in Zhang Jiakou received a telegram from Yoshida Peak.
The commander of the Mongolian army, Hasanuma, asked the chief of staff, Ishimoto Tora,"Is that our plane?"
"Commander, we don't have any aircraft on patrol duty, nor do we have any aircraft on combat duty. I've just asked the various airfields, but they don't have any planes in Xinghe County!”
"Baka! Then where did they come from? Did they come from the Russians in the north?”
"I'm sorry, Commander, we don't have any more information at the moment.”
"Order Yoshida Peak to stop moving forward. Before we find out where they came from, don't take any action against them for the time being!"”
"Are you worried about something?" asked Ishimoto Tora.”
"That's right. If the other party is being supported by the Russians, then we might have a conflict with them. However, the dynasty was currently attacking China with all their might, so it was not suitable for them to have a conflict with them for the time being.”
"But what if they keep taking action against us?”
"Humph, it's not that we don't want to attack them, it's just that we don't want to take action for the time being. When we investigate the situation clearly and have more power, we naturally won't let them cause trouble here!”
"Ha Yi, you are wise!"
Hasunuma Fan's order came at the right time. Yoshida Mine's regiment was already five kilometers away from Tie Guozhu's battlefield!
"Kuaxi, stop moving forward!"
"Your Excellency, aren't we being too cautious?”
"Pa!"
Mine Yoshida slapped him and scolded,""Baka! Is the commander's decision something you can discuss?”
"Ha Yi!"
"Order to stop! I'll contact the headquarters first and see how we should deal with it.”
Thousands of people stopped in the wilderness and began to rest.
Tie Guozhu was extremely confused by the situation.
"Strange, why did they stop?”
"Sir, could they have discovered us?”
"How is that possible? We've been doing a good job of hiding. What went wrong?”
After observing for a while more, he realized that the other party still had no intention of advancing. This made Tie Guozhu a little anxious.
"Sir, bad news. The observer said that the other party seems to be running away!”
"What is it? What happened?"
"I'm not sure, but the observer seems to be turning back and not continuing forward.”
Although Tie Guozhu could not understand why, it did not stop him from making a decision.
"Forget it. Order the air force to take off and bomb them. We will also begin to act. We must annihilate these Japanese!”
"Yes, sir!"
Mine Yoshida was indeed running away!
To be safe, Lianzhao Fan wanted him to retreat and return to the town.
Even though Mizuki Yoshida was unwilling, he could only follow the order.
