Chapter 338: You Are Treating the Sichuan Army Like Children

Han Fuqu is now a bit unsure about what the actual attitude of the Northwest Three Mas, the Sichuan Army, and others is.

The telegram sent back by the Northwest Three Mas was ambiguous.

As for the Sichuan Army, they sent back a telegram directly telling Han Fuqu to stop sending them.

And then there is the fact that Song Zheyuan did not reply at all?

Old Han is a bit bewildered now; this Song Zheyuan, during the July 7th Incident.

Had even defied the orders of the Nanjing Command, not allowing Central Army troops to enter the Pingjin Region.

He had executed the police inspector Zhang Jingliang for dereliction of duty.

"Baka yaro!"

Seeing Li Delin's expression, Xu Zuyi smiled again: "Guess... afterwards, Deng Xihou and Sun Zhen, over at Yan Laoxi's place."

"Thump, thump, thump!! ——"

And also to show the people of the whole country that their troops are also capable of shouldering heavy responsibilities and are also capable of fighting.

Following his order, the Japanese planes immediately increased their altitude.

The key is that the leader of the Japanese aircraft squadron this time was bold, believing that they hadn't encountered the Republic of China Air Force in the previous few bombings at all.

Li Delin still sent a short message to Sun Zhen, which was that Tang Enbo's 20th Army Group had already become the mobile force of the war zone and could not be changed now.

This sound, they were very familiar with.

Just as Xiaochuan Azhoulang thought it was his successful command that made the enemy troops stop firing.

The Guangxi Clique Army was blocking the Central China Area Army on the South Line.

Coupled with the powerful firepower assembled by the German-made 37mm Anti-aircraft Guns, the Japanese planes were stunned all at once.

Afterwards!

The Fifth War Zone strictly ordered Sun Zhen's 22nd Group Army to hold off the Japanese Army at all costs to win time for the Taierzhuang Campaign.

Seeing Zhou Tong so agitated, Wang Mingzhang stepped forward and helped Zhou Tong up.

All affairs in Teng County were handed over to Deputy Division Commander Chen Qian to command.

Just the 7.9mm bullets for these Mauser 98K Rifles alone took several train cars to haul.

First, according to Yu Hua's deployment, a large number of defensive fortifications were to be built in Teng County.

Some Traitors and lackeys were also stirring up trouble, starting to engage in robbery and looting.

This time, the Japanese planes had no fighter escort, and after flying over Bianliang, they prepared to dive and drop bombs.

Inside the city, a large number of tunnels and air-raid shelters needed to be built to facilitate Urban Warfare for the Sichuan Army.

"If it weren't for the 18th Group Army and the Northwest Army's Sun Lianzhong unit notifying the Sichuan Army that they had encountered two divisions of the Japanese Army."

Xu Zuyi came before Li Delin: "Commander Li, the Sichuan Army's Sun Zhen has replied."

Just at this moment!

An alarm sound suddenly rang out in the sky.

Li Delin understood.

It is just that now that the Japanese invaders have invaded, everyone can face the enemy together.

But now the Sichuan Army actually dislikes Tang Enbo's 20th Army Group, which really makes Li Delin unable to understand.

This is just like brothers fighting robbers together.

The Pingjin Area Army strengthened the attacking power of the Japanese troops heading south, not only increasing infantry but also adding cavalry and artillery.

Appeared over Bianliang.

"Oh..." Li Delin looked up: "What did Sun Zhen say?"

How did so many troops appear?

After leaving Teng County, Wang Mingzhang joined the other several Division Commanders and rushed to Bianliang together.

"Questioning Tang Enbo as to why he withdrew his troops without notifying the Sichuan Army, almost causing the Sichuan Army to fall into a dangerous situation."

According to the latest intelligence from the War Zone Command.

The Guangxi Clique Army is now also two group armies, leaving Guangxi to participate in the War of Resistance.

The current combat effectiveness of this group army is also in a recovery period.

The ground anti-aircraft units received a death order today, which was to open fire comprehensively.

Forget it!

Zhou Tong and Wang Mingzhang began to discuss matters of preparing for war.

Some generals were still mortal enemies.

The common people on the streets all headed toward the air-raid shelters.

Only then can the contradictions between the two sides be resolved.

This matter is now acknowledged by the Japanese Pingjin Area Army; in the Pingjin Region, among the Central Army units encountered with relatively strong combat effectiveness, Tang Enbo's 20th Army Group is the one.

"The Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army might have been surrounded by the Japanese Army."

The remaining armies, the Second War Zone's Yan Laoxi Jin-Sui Army and the 18th Group Army, coordinated with the Sichuan Army and also achieved several results.

After Wang Mingzhang stayed in Teng County for a while, he received a pressing telegram from Sun Zhen.

Thinking of these frustrating matters, Li Delin's heart felt a bit cold.

"Da-da-da!! ——"

On the streets, everyone was also discussing what exactly happened today.

In fact, such contradictions were quite common in the Fifth War Zone.

Because many troops had fought fiercely against each other during the warlord civil wars.

As for supplies like Hand Grenades, Landmines, and Explosives, they were hard to count.

In the Third War Zone, the elite of the Guangxi Clique Troops, as well as the Class A Adjusted German-equipped Division under Principal Lao Chang, basically did not achieve any excellent results.

Seeing Xu Zuyi finish speaking, Li Delin was stunned for a moment.

Shoot down all the Japanese Army aircraft coming to Bianliang.

Unless the 20th Army Group risks their lives to accompany a gentleman, like Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army, and goes to rescue the Sichuan Army just as they rescued Pang Quezi.

"Woo woo woo woo..."

He stated!

The Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army can defend Teng County.

Seeing that Li Delin had doubts, Xu Zuyi on the side smiled and said: "Commander Li, you might not know."

Upon hearing this!

First, Tang Enbo's troops fought well in the Pingjin Region and had relatively strong combat effectiveness.

The Guangxi Army that left Guangxi Province is not bad at all; they are just as capable of fighting as the Sichuan Army.

Because the time for the Japanese Army to move south is now very tight, it requires the military and the people to be of one heart.

The M2 Heavy Machine Gun, the Solothurn Machine Gun 20mm Machine Cannon, the Type 26 General Purpose Machine Gun, and the Maxim Heavy Machine Gun.

Said, "Brother, hold on a little longer, reinforcements will arrive immediately."

In order to fight this battle well, Li Delin has racked his brains, wanting to fight a brilliant annihilation battle so that the common people of Guangxi Province will also know.

Everywhere there were Military Police with loaded guns and live ammunition; even the common people were seeing such a situation for the first time.

This series of measures also made the hearts of the people in Teng County feel a little more settled.

"Sun Zhen said, when the Sichuan Army needs reinforcements, don't say that the ones coming are Tang Enbo's 20th Army Group."

Zhou Tong himself also came from a military background and was a man of both literary and military talent; he was recommended by Sun Tongxuan to serve as the top leader of Teng County.

Therefore, for this Xuzhou Battle in the Fifth War Zone, Lao Chang and Li Delin discussed that the two of them must achieve excellent results to greatly boost the morale of the people of the Republic of China.

"And unlike the Lu Army, which retreated without a fight."

First is the Lu Army, which had been nurtured by Shandong Province for over a decade, yet they retreated without a fight and lost a large swath of national territory.

The Sichuan Army has even compared Tang Enbo to a piece of rat dung.

Besides this, from the First War Zone and the Fifth War Zone, the Sichuan Army's special train transporting weapons and ammunition also arrived in Teng County.

"I would like to hear what exactly Tang Enbo said."

However, when the war situation changes, I hope Commander Li Delin will not use Tang Enbo's 20th Army Group to "hoodwink" the Sichuan Army.

At the same time, within the entire military now, the Sichuan Army has achieved many results in the Second War Zone and the Seventh War Zone, and is also the unit with the most results in the whole country.

Now!

The Fifth War Zone did send a telegram to Sun Zhen.

He hopes that his own direct-line troops can settle the situation in one battle, and at the same time, show the people of the whole country his wise and martial image.

This stuff is prepared in abundance!

Did the messenger lose the telegram?!

The 122nd Division's Division Commander Wang Mingzhang met personally with the top leader of Teng County, Zhou Tong.

The Sichuan Army preparing for the battle in Teng County needs a lot of supplies, and this requires Zhou Tong's efforts.

At the same time, Zhou Tong also caught a group of Traitors; these people were also discussing that when the Japanese Army comes, they would surrender and work as dogs for the Japanese Army.

His own attempt to reconcile the conflict between the Sichuan Army and the 20th Army Group could be considered a failure.

"Division Commander Wang, on behalf of the common people of Teng County, I thank you for your arrival."

At that time, he even sent a telegram to himself, asking him to also oppose the Central Army moving north.

The two sides simply could not reach an agreement.

Especially the artillery; this unit's configuration is all large-caliber artillery, with a total of 24 150mm Howitzers.

Now Henan Province is also about to become the front line, and the common people are also very panicked.

Seeing the Sichuan Army's reply, Xu Zuyi also persuaded Li Delin not to discuss the 20th Army Group with Sun Zhen anymore.

"The Sichuan Army's backside was stabbed by two divisions of the Japanese Army."

Landmines and Explosives are the Sichuan Army's specialty.

Zhang Zizhong disliked Pang Bingxun, but fortunately, the two reconciled.

They would never have imagined that this time they were clearly coming to sneak attack a city that had previously been bombed countless times.

With a great enemy at the gates, our Republic of China Army must still be sincerely united, put aside prejudices, and fight the war together.

"My Sichuan Army soldiers will certainly not let the people of Teng County feel cold-hearted."

In addition, Tang Enbo's 20th Army Group was the unit under Principal Lao Chang that suffered the least damage in the Pingjin Region.

Regardless of equipment or combat effectiveness, Li Delin was still relatively satisfied.

"How did Tang Enbo reply?!"

Among them, Liao Lei's 21st Group Army, because of participating in the Battle of Songhu, plus the blocking battle in the Taihu Region.

He also took the initiative to let the Security Regiment and Police Force in the city specifically arrest those taking advantage of the situation to commit crimes.

This person changed his clothes to prepare to go north and defect to the enemy, and was discovered and shot by Zhou Tong.

On Li Delin's special train.

Didn't say anything true.

Large-scale cement reinforcement of city defenses, as well as some civilian houses in the city, all require the assistance of the common people.

What kind of business is this!?

It is just that he, Li Delin, encounters these troublesome things.

Tang Enbo's 20th Army Group thus entered the eyes of the two, and Lao Chang placed high hopes on this.

Bianliang had long been prepared with anti-aircraft Machine Guns, and even had anti-aircraft guns.

"Stop keeping me in suspense... speak quickly."

The heavy responsibility of the South Line army fell mostly upon Li Pinxian's 11th Group Army.

Teng County was the center of the 22nd Group Army.

Who would have known that a sudden change would occur today.

Soldiers in gray uniforms, khaki uniforms, and others were all gathered inside and outside the city, looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

"When the Niangziguan Campaign was wrapping up, Tang Enbo's army from the First War Zone was transferred into the Second War Zone to block the Japanese Army's pursuit and cover the retreat of the Niangziguan defenders."

With the main commanders not fighting, the soldiers below, as well as the grassroots government, were all restless; everyone was packing their things, preparing to head south.

He gave Li Delin a piece of advice: "Not all armies are good armies; some, damn it, are like a single rat dropping ruining a pot of soup."

Preparing to escape the enemy's ground artillery fire, the commander on the ground, upon seeing this, ordered to press the attack.

Isn't this treating the Sichuan Army like children to be fooled?

He clearly remembered that the Sichuan Army had a nickname called "the duped ones."

Type 26 Submachine Guns, nine-millimeter bullets, a full fifty million rounds.

Li Pinxian's 11th Group Army and Liao Lei's 21st Group Army.

The 122nd Division guarded Teng County, and the other several divisions also arrived one after another in the cities surrounding Teng County.

The Sichuan Army does not like Tang Enbo.

He was told to quickly board a special train and head to Bianliang to attend the supreme military conference.

The troops' uniforms were also colorful, with all kinds of colors.

Yunnan Army, Guangxi Army, or even Northeast Army troops would do."

However, this time the Japanese Army aircraft miscalculated.

"At the Second War Zone Command, Tang Enbo said he had sent a telegram to the Sichuan Army, but the messenger lost the telegram."

This Tang Enbo is truly hypocritical!

If this were said to anyone... no one would believe it.

Zhou Tong stated that these were no problem, and he would definitely help the Sichuan Army mobilize the masses to build fortifications in Teng County together.

First, Zhou Tong expressed his welcome for the arrival of the Sichuan Army.

That was the Japanese Army aircraft air raid.

In recent days, Zhou Tong's pressure had also been very great.

"At first, Deng Xihou and Sun Zhen also thought it was a small group of the Japanese Army and did not pay it any mind."

"Boom—, boom—... boom—..."

Sleeping on the same kang, firing guns together?!

When Han Fuqu was confused.

The enemy's anti-aircraft fire was truly too dense; in one encounter, four or five planes were hit and started emitting black smoke.

The 20th Army Group was the mobile force personally selected by him and the Nanjing Command.

Seeing this expression on Xu Zuyi, Li Delin felt that Tang Enbo probably

Li Delin laughed.

Looking at Zhou Tong, Wang Mingzhang said: "Zhou Tong, don't you worry."

Fortunately, now, the Japanese Army Central China Area Army was confronting the Fifth War Zone along the river and was unable to continue attacking north.

And they had to block the southward-moving Japanese Army here.

"Later, Sun Zhen added another telegram, saying the reinforcements coming were Pang Quezi's troops and Zhang Zizhong's troops.

Li Delin was a bit speechless.

The Sichuan Army had just been cheated by Tang Enbo, so they certainly could not forgive the 20th Army Group.

Instead, it was Sun Zhen who pointed out a bunch of Local Army units.

Now they were actually equipped with so much anti-aircraft fire.

For this reason!

Sure enough, before long, small black dots appeared in the sky—about ten Japanese Army planes with Plaster Flags attached.

"When Tang Enbo's army group retreated, they cleared the road without notifying Deng Xihou's 22nd Group Army."

Now that I've sent a telegram to Old Song, why is this kid ignoring me?!

Why is this Tang Enbo so disliked by the Sichuan Army?!

Xiaochuan Azhoulang shouted angrily, his face turning black.

In Teng County!

The surrounding commoners learned that an army from Jin Province had already arrived in the several counties surrounding Teng County.

It was fine in Teng County where Zhou Tong was, because Zhou Tong himself, as the head official, had not left.

At the very least, when the two of us enlisted before, we ate from the same pot.

Among them were the Teng County Chamber of Commerce President Xu Lanzhou and the great wealthy gentleman Huang Xiaoshan.

How so?

"With your arrival, the common people of this county can also rest much easier."

At the same time, Sun Zhen also replied with a telegram to the Fifth War Zone.

They shot down three more Japanese Army planes.

Henan Province, Bianliang!

The whole city was under martial law.

Otherwise, it would be a disservice to the Sichuan Army for dragging this batch of armaments across two war zones.

No enemy anti-aircraft fire was discovered on the ground either, so he never requested Fighter Plane escort again.

Everyone knows that the Japanese Army has been fighting fiercely in the Pingjin Region recently, and Shandong Province has fallen.

We must certainly present a grand gift to the Isoya Rensuke 10th Division of the Japanese Army.

However, the surrounding cities such as Zou County, Liangxiadian, and Zhangzhuang have all fallen into chaos.

"All aircraft, climb rapidly."

Subsequently, the ground troops ceased firing.

After Sun Zhen saw this reply telegram from Li Delin.

Yet he could never have imagined that the facts were not so.

A new change suddenly appeared in the sky.
