Chapter 135: Various Sectors of Society

Yamaoka Shigeatsu's words also gave the little devils in the conference room a shock.

The Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army is truly different, compared to other Republic of China Army units.

The Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army can be described as having strong soldiers and sturdy horses.

Several Regiment Commanders of the little devils were silent for a moment, then spoke up: "Your Excellency Division Commander."

"How is the weaponry of the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army?"

"Do they possess Mountain Field Guns?"

Yamaoka Shigeatsu picked up a telegram in his hand, "Adjutant, distribute a copy to them."

"Hai!" Yamaoka Shigeatsu's Adjutant bowed and scraped.

"Among them, the location where the Hashimoto Detachment was annihilated... is right here."

"It is... it is..."

"This army is just like a hedgehog; if you are not careful..."

The firepower of the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army indeed gave the little devils a shock.

This kind of firepower configuration is at least equivalent to the elite units within the Republic of China Army.

The 109th Division moved out.

"We must ensure that Qigeng Village is firmly held in the hands of the Imperial Army."

Yamaoka Shigeatsu stood up, his gaze burning as he looked at everyone.

Regarding the several locations prone to ambushes by the Sichuan Army, Yamaoka Shigeatsu also had the operations Staff Officers of his division.

On the road to attacking Donghui Town, all units must pay attention to both sides of the road; the Sichuan Army will actively ambush the Imperial Army.

The officers of the 109th Division nodded and bowed one after another: "Hai!"

Having received the telegrams sent by various sectors of society, everyone was also concerned about the situation of the 22nd Group Army in Jin Province.

After all preparations were complete, under the orders of Yamaoka Shigeatsu, the little devil soldiers of the 109th Division.

They marched toward Donghui Town.

This battle challenge between the Sichuan Army and the 22nd Group Army.

"It is the place where the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army is most likely to set up an ambush circle."

It also attracted the attention of many people; among them were not only fellow countrymen but also foreigners.

After the little devils entered Jin Province, they beat the Jin-Sui Army and the Central Army until they couldn't tell north from south on the front-line positions.

Yamaoka Shigeatsu's gaze swept over everyone present, "We must attach great importance to the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army."

However, once the field units pushed forward, the Supply Troops left behind in the rear.

Following that, in the conference room, the officers and soldiers of the 109th Division all received the telegram containing information on the equipment of the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army.

In the conference room, Yamaoka Shigeatsu also specifically emphasized to this group of officers.

"Therefore, I order."

"Division Commander, there is no need to worry."

They also quickly assembled and marched toward Donghui Town.

At the headquarters of the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army, Deng Xihou and Sun Zhen.

"I see you have forgotten the fate of the Hashimoto Detachment again."

People from all walks of life are now also afraid that the Sichuan Army will receive unfair treatment in Jin Province.

"The 22nd Group Army re-equipped in Baoji and Chang'an; the majority of the unit's soldiers use Hanyang-made Rifles and a small amount of Zhongzheng Rifles."

This form of combat is somewhat like the 18th Group Army of the Republic of China Army.

"When this type of Machine Gun fires, it is like a chainsaw at work."

The little devils also knew about the Hanyang-made Rifle; the performance of this rifle is far inferior to the Imperial Type 38 Rifle.

Yamaoka Shigeatsu waved his hand, signaling that everyone could sit down.

What surprised them even more was that the army issuing the challenge was actually a Local Army.

This unit is not an ordinary Republic of China Army unit.

Encountering such an army on the Jin Province Battlefield, the officers of the 109th Division.

They all became very interested and brought out 100% confidence to defeat the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army.

On the battlefield of the Republic of China, for the Republic of China Army to publicly challenge the devil nation, this also surprised many military attachés stationed in China.

Because various sectors of society sent the telegram to the Sichuan Army in plain code.

Just now, everyone had only roughly glanced at it.

Since the Division Commander had stood up, this group of devil officers naturally also rose to their feet.

Yamaoka Shigeatsu began to introduce, "According to intelligence from our Special Higher Police."

"According to the telegram sent by Regiment Commander Sato, the Sichuan Army is equipped with a type of rapid-fire Machine Gun."

"Not counting Mountain Field Guns, the firepower of the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army is basically two-thirds that of the Imperial Army's firepower."

Each Regiment Commander of the 109th Division had a copy in hand.

Even some military attachés in China from Europe.

"Annihilating the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army is the mission given to my 109th Division by the Pingjin Area Army."

However, the Zhongzheng Rifle can rival the Imperial Type 38 Rifle.

"For the glory of the Empire, annihilate the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army."

Through this meeting, most of the officers also studied the combat characteristics of the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army.

"This location, if our 109th Division wants to attack Donghui Town."

Through this meeting, Yamaoka Shigeatsu also made the devil officers present fully realize the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army.

"This Sichuan Army unit is definitely no match for our Imperial Army."

Upon taking a look, they really did discover something.

"This time, our 109th Division has chosen to set out from Ceyu Town and outflank to Donghui Town."

Only the German-equipped Division on the Songhu Battlefield possessed such firepower configuration.

"After the division sets out, the vanguard force shall dispatch one regiment to occupy Qigeng Village for me."

Upon studying it this way, everyone also made a discovery.

"Regarding the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army, everyone remember this for me."

"This army is different from the Jin-Sui Army, the Northeast Army, or even the Central Army we have encountered before."

They specifically drew many maps and marked them out.

"The firepower of the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army is far beyond what is listed above."

The annihilation of the Hashimoto Detachment also sounded an alarm for the officers of the 109th Division.

Picking up his Command Stick, Yamaoka Shigeatsu pointed at Qigeng Village.

Because of the previous unfair treatment of the 22nd Group Army, after Ta Kung Pao reported it, the high command in Jinling made concessions.

It made it impossible for the little devils to find them for a decisive battle and wipe them out in one fell swoop.

"The Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army used the public opinion of the Zhongtu populace to force Chang Kaishen to re-equip the Sichuan Army."

After Principal Chang found out, he was also afraid that the news of the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army being squeezed out by Yan Laoxi in Jin Province would be reported.

Seeing this group of devil officers getting arrogant again, Yamaoka Shigeatsu said coldly: "Baka!"

Everyone cannot deal with the Sichuan Army according to previous methods.

If the Sichuan Army only had such weapons, many devil officers now also believe that the Sichuan Army's strength is not worth worrying about.

"The terrain and topography of Qigeng Village are very favorable to the Sichuan Army."

It is that the Sichuan Army will not hold their ground, but instead will take the initiative to attack.

The devil soldiers of the 109th Division shouted in unison: "For the Imperial Army's Holy War."

The Sichuan Army is equipped with rapid-firing Machine Guns and Submachine Guns, and furthermore, there are many more Mortars than the intelligence provided by the Special Higher Police.

"Moreover, the Sichuan Army also has an army equipped with Submachine Guns."

"It will prick the Imperial Army."

They are frequently attacked by the 18th Group Army, and this unit runs away after fighting.

Yamaoka Shigeatsu's great rage made the officers in the conference room carefully read the telegram sent by Regiment Commander Sato.

"This telegram was sent back urgently by Regiment Commander Sato at the moment the Hashimoto Detachment was completely annihilated."

He immediately called Yan Laoxi.

Two updates will resume tomorrow; these three days have been one update, as I really couldn't hold on. My mental state is now gradually recovering, and the muscle soreness has disappeared.
