Yang Guanghui couldn't convince Zhang Zhengzong, so he went back after dinner. He had to make some preparations. If the Japanese turned hostile, he wouldn't be caught off guard.
At the same time, he also knew about the drill. He immediately cursed. This was a bullsh * t drill. This was clearly a war. It seemed that both sides had the intention to reveal their true intentions.
This time, it was considered a test. Whether it was the Feng army or the Japanese army, they had chosen elite troops.
The winter of the 12th year of the Republic of China was coming soon. The winter clothes of the Feng army had been distributed early. This year's winter clothes were different. They were all new military uniforms.
Zhang Zhengzong's dream of distributing snow camouflage uniforms had been shattered, mainly because of the problem of money.
The battlefield was not at Fengtian City, but at Erlong Mountain near the New South Station of the South Manchurian Railroad. The 13th Japanese regiment had set out early and started to build fortifications. The observers of the Feng army had also come to stop the Japanese from cheating.
Military observers from various countries also arrived one after another. In fact, this was only a small conflict, but the Feng family and the Japanese had raised it to the level of a political mission. Simply put, it was an issue surrounding the rights and interests of the northeast.
Although the conditions had not been discussed, it was obvious that only the winner had the right to speak.
If it weren't for the fact that it was too difficult to train pilots, Zhang Zhengzong would have wanted to let the air force enter the field and let these superpowers have an eye-opener. The country also had an air force. One had to know that many small European countries didn't have their own air force.
Shirazawa Ishii met with the commander of the Kwantung Army, Shirakawa Yoshinori. Shirakawa was giving him a lecture. This time, it concerned the dignity of the Wei Nation and their rights in the three eastern provinces. He asked him to hold off the attack of the Fengjun.
According to the Black Dragon Triad's intelligence, this battle would not be easy. The reason was that the Guards Brigade's equipment was far superior to the White Marsh Regiment.
There was even an artillery regiment with 24 152mm field cannons and 36 75mm field cannons.
With such powerful firepower, unless the Twin Dragon Mount was hollowed out, the Baize Regiment would be completely destroyed by the artillery bombardment.
As for the tanks, there was no need to worry. Because it was a problem of attacking from above, the tanks could not provide much cover. That hundred-meter-high slope, coupled with countless obstacles and barbed wire, Shirazawa Ishii was confident that countless soldiers would not be able to pass through this line of defense.
The defending side had the height advantage, while the attacking side had the artillery and numbers advantage.
It had to be said that the Wei people were the most dedicated people in the world. Without cheating, the people of the Baize United Army spent two days and two nights setting up several defense lines on the Twin Dragon Mount.
The mountains that used to be lush with trees had long become bare. The trenches were covered with barbed wire, and some machine gun firing points were fixed with wood, hoping to withstand the bombardment of artillery.
Zhang Zhengzong was using binoculars to observe the Twin Dragon Mount's high ground. A sixteen-petal medicinal paste flag was fluttering in the wind.
It seemed that the 6th division's construction skills were not bad. This was going to be a tough battle.
His front teeth might fall off, but even if they did, he would bite them down.
"Tell me everything!" Zhang Zhengzong put down his binoculars. This Japanese was not bad. The two firepower points of the Twin Dragon Mount could cover each other. It would be troublesome to attack either one first.
At first glance, the artillery fire of the Guards Brigade was very fierce. After all, other than the artillery regiment, each regiment had their own mountain artillery battalion and mortar company.
However, the problem was that the Japanese were at a high position, and the anti-slope was uncomfortable.
"I suggest we attack Highland 103 first. This is the headquarters of the 13th Regiment. If we can take it down, the overall situation is basically set.”
Yang Guanghui was a military talent. Compared to Highland 105, Highland 103's circular firepower configuration was more uniform. This Japanese commander was a skilled person. The ladder-shaped firepower points could make the people at the foot of the mountain bleed.
Although he didn't like the Japanese, Zhang Zhengzong had to admit that the Japanese army had a strong will to fight. Even if they fought, the other party wouldn't surrender. He could already predict that his guard brigade would be crippled.
This time, it was very lively. All the leaders of the three eastern provinces had come, as well as the commander of the Japanese Zaoyang garrison and the commander of the Guandong Army. In addition, a large number of division and brigade-level generals and consular officers had formed a large number of field observation groups.
Under such circumstances, if both sides wanted to breach the contract, they would have to bear a huge political stain and trouble. This was a bit too big a bet.
"Your suggestion is useless, because the command is related to us, and the same goes for the Japanese.”Zhang Zhengchen ridiculed. He wanted to see how Yao Tianlin, the brigade commander of the Guards Brigade, would fight.
Now that they were all members of the observation group, they could do nothing but watch.
Yao Tianlin and the brigade commander of the teaching brigade, Yao Tiancheng, were blood brothers because the system had set them up like this. If it was not for the fear that there would be problems with the clones, these people would probably have the same face.
The battle would start tomorrow, and the artillery regiment was already preparing.
New South City could be said to be a gathering of large armies. The Feng army had mobilized the Guard Brigade, the Teaching Brigade, the 27th Division, and the 29th Division.
The Japanese side also had the 16th Regiment and the 12th Regiment of the Lukou Stronghold, as well as three Road Protection Regiments. Their strength was roughly equal.
Many of the residents in the vicinity had left. It was useless to issue a notice to calm the people. After all, the soldiers were like a sieve. The number of people in the city added up was not as many as the number of soldiers in the nearby army.
After seeing the Japanese army's position, Zhang Zhengzong was going to deal with the foreign ambassadors.
A buffet dinner was being held in the huge Xinnan Restaurant. The generals of the Feng army and the Japanese army were clearly separated.
There were also a few Wei Nation women wearing kimonos. Of course, these women were just decorations. If the banquet was filled with men, it would be boring.
Of course, apart from the soldiers of the two countries, there were also other warlords and soldiers from other countries. In short, most of them wore military uniforms, and there were all kinds of military uniforms.
They were all soldiers, but the style and background of their military uniforms were different.
The military uniforms of the direct line were all dark blue, the Feng line was gray, and the Jin line was earthy green.
Yang Guanghui was talking to someone. What could he say?
It was nothing more than selling firearms. After all, he was the supervisor of the Munitions Factory. Zhang Zhengzong would directly look for him for the sale and matters of the Munitions Factory. Compared to Feng Jun's matters, Yang Guanghui spent most of his time dealing with the Munitions Factory.
As for Zhang Zhengzong, he was surrounded by people. Those who were not from the Feng lineage called him Marshal Zhang or Marshal Zong. In short, there were people who came to make friends with him, some to test him, and some to curry favor. After all, the Feng lineage was one of the three great warlords of the Northern Warlords. Its current strength was only below that of the direct lineage.
Shirakawa Masayoshi held his wine glass and looked at Zhang Zhengzong in the crowd. He said to the commander of the Zaoyang garrison, Ota Takeshi," This old fox is our biggest problem."”
"Shirakawa Kun, don't be impatient. He won't be happy for long. The 6th division is the strongest division of our Imperial Army, and the 13th Regiment is the best regiment in the 6th division.”
"But you've also seen the number of cannons in the Fengtian Army. This old fox has pulled over half a year's worth of ammunition production from the Fengtian Munitions Factory.
Artillery fire wouldn't have much damage on the high ground. Overall, it would depend on the infantry of both sides. I was more curious about the chariots.”
The Japanese army did not have tanks. According to normal history, they only started to develop tanks in the 14th year of the Republic of China, which was the 14th year of the Taisho era.
The first year of Dazheng coincided with the first year of the Republic of China. It was really a narrow road for enemies.
The Japanese army only started to develop new equipment in the later stages of Taisho because at that time, the Crown Prince was the regent. This guy who raised the Japanese had been educated in militarism since he was young. His teacher was the person who used the meat bomb attack, Noki. It was said that this guy even committed suicide and was buried with Mingzhi.
Therefore, unlike his slightly retarded father, he was very fond of martial arts. Of course, he would not cut off the military's funds.
Although the Japanese did not have tanks, they knew about them and had bought one or two tanks for research.
The Wei Nation's car industry was still far behind the western countries, so most of the tanks they developed were small. One was related to military spending, and the other was the limitation of industrial capacity.
The current Wei Nation was not the Wei Nation after the Second World War, so it was very bad in this aspect.
