Chapter 346: Liaison Officer Yang, are you not mistaken?
"Yoshi!"
"Order the troops to accelerate their marching speed."
"Strive to arrive at Jining and Wenshang by tomorrow afternoon, and take the towns before sunset."
Isogai Rensuke issued the combat order!
According to his estimation of the Third Group Army, Han Fuqu would collapse after at most two charges.
Just shortly after Isogai Rensuke issued the order!
His adjutant immediately came forward to report.
The military and the civilians were of one heart, staying behind to help the Third Group Army.
They also had to annihilate the Sichuan Army, this detestable force.
"Do not acknowledge it!"
"Commander-in-Chief Sun!"
The sudden sound of a report interrupted the three men's deliberation.
They had also summoned the division and brigade-level commanders, emphasizing the importance of this campaign.
"Especially the Sichuan Army units; they like to ambush on the highways."
Sun Tongxuan said in a loud, clear voice.
At first!
Sun Tongxuan still did not agree to let the common people stay.
Many people were unwilling to leave; everyone decided to help the Third Group Army build trenches and reinforce fortifications.
Allowing the soldiers of the Third Group Army to fight the Japanese and build fortifications with peace of mind.
How much time had passed, and the weaponry and ammunition had already arrived.
Upon hearing this!
"Third Group Army Commander-in-Chief Han Fuqu has already been shot by Chang Kaishen due to his poor performance in the war."
"It is good that we do not acknowledge it!"
"Sichuan Army units have secretly infiltrated the Fifth War Zone."
"No!"
"The entire group army must strictly follow the following regulations."
As long as his supply trains and artillery did not detach from the main force, the grand army would advance together.
For the Third Group Army, they were all good equipment!
They expressed!
"Saying that our Third Group Army is a bunch of cowards."
Over a dozen old men in their sixties and seventies specifically sought out Sun Tongxuan.
The humiliation suffered by the Imperial Army was entirely caused by the Sichuan Army.
"Now the Marshal has been shot."
"Anyone who abandons their position without authorization, I will shoot them myself!"
After all!
Upon hearing this, the three men!
The Sichuan Army had arrived; he immediately had a staff officer invite them in.
Isogai Rensuke waved his hand: "Proceed according to the plan just now."
"Received the latest order from Commander Terauchi Hisaichi."
If that were the case, the entire Shandong Province would be a different scene.
This would not cause serious losses to the Imperial Army either.
Sun Tongxuan and the others were stunned when they saw this scene.
Therefore, the three of them entrusted the Sichuan Army to purchase weaponry.
Three days later, the Japanese Army would be at the city gates.
However!
A staff officer was seen entering the command post.
No retreating without orders; violators will be dealt with by military law!
Sun Tongxuan, Cao Fulin, and Yu Xuezhong.
"Dispatch the Jing'an Army and have them walk at the very front of the highway."
"Defend Wenshang and Jining to buy time for the Taierzhuang Campaign."
Because!
"Hai!" The adjutant bowed and scraped.
He did not hold the Third Group Army in high regard.
After several rounds of negotiation between the two sides, Sun Tongxuan agreed, though he only let the common people stay for three days!
"Please take a look and verify!"
"Did you hear clearly?"
"Clear!"
Several train cars full of weaponry and ammunition were seen placed at the train station.
The hearts of Sun Tongxuan, Cao Fulin, and Yu Xuezhong were also filled with mixed feelings.
According to Yu Hua's suggestion, they used silver dollars to purchase weaponry to welcome the assault of the 10th Division.
"At the same time!"
What Isogai Rensuke values is the Sichuan Army!
The Sichuan Army, which became famous in one battle in the Seventh War Zone, is now the important target of the 10th Division.
Isogai Rensuke pondered for a moment and felt that this arrangement of his was already very appropriate.
Do not give the Sichuan Army a chance to encircle and annihilate!
On the highway, even if the Sichuan Army buries landmines and explosives, the Jing'an Army will take the lead.
"Good... meeting adjourned!" After Sun Tongxuan issued the order.
According to their estimates, if they entrust the Sichuan Army to purchase weapons, they will definitely take a cut.
Being able to get half of the weapons would already count as the Sichuan Army having a conscience.
"Brothers!"
"The weapons you entrusted my Sichuan Army to purchase last time have now arrived in Jining."
After Yang Biao entered the Group Army command post, he saluted the people present.
Sun Tongxuan, Yu Xuezhong, and Cao Fulin, the three of them.
Sun Tongxuan and the others all widened their eyes.
The current morale is even more lax, and the combat effectiveness has definitely dropped to the limit.
Especially the M2 Heavy Machine Gun and the Type 26 General Purpose Machine Gun, as well as the Type 92 Infantry Gun and the Type 41 Mountain Gun.
Cao Fulin said coldly: "Come in!"
When Sun Tongxuan said this, he looked at everyone: "Do you admit that you are cowards?"
"Let's go take a look!"
"Commander-in-Chief, Deputy Commander-in-Chief, Commander!"
"From now on, I order you to hold the position and fight to the last man."
Seeing the selfless dedication of the villagers, the army and the people are of one heart.
They knew that there were Arsenals opened by foreigners in Sichuan Province, and the three of them also took a look at some of the Sichuan Army's weapons.
"The Commander tells us to be careful."
"Our Third Group Army has lost its commander, but we cannot lose Southwest Shandong again."
As the Japanese Army moved south, the Fifth War Zone Command also received intelligence from agents.
"May I ask if we need to redeploy our combat plan?"
"For the sake of the common people of Shandong Province, and to wash away the reputation of our Third Group Army."
The efficiency of this Sichuan Army in handling matters is truly too fast.
"Good!"
"The cavalry unit is responsible for bringing up the rear!"
Sun Tongxuan also ordered soldiers to move the common people in the city away.
Sun Tongxuan, Yu Xuezhong, and Cao Fulin, the three of them.
Listened to the Adjutant's words in one breath!
Construct positions, dig trenches, and reinforce city defense fortifications!
"They are all cursing us!"
In addition, the commander of the Group Army was executed by firing squad.
This time, with the north-south advance, the Central China Area Army and the Pingjin Area Army are not only trying to open up the north-south Railway trunk line.
This is the will of the people!
As long as the Third Group Army starts, they can hold their ground and fight like this.
"At the same time!"
"Report!"
These are all General Officers; he is a Captain, the lowest in rank.
"Our Group Army has now received the latest combat orders."
"Likewise, if you see me retreating, you can also execute me."
This time, many common people saw the Third Group Army reorganizing and preparing for war.
"Now the Third Group Army is commanded by Han Fuqu's confidants, Cao Fulin, Sun Tongxuan, and Yu Xuezhong."
The Adjutant saw Isogai Rensuke pondering and asked: "Your Excellency, Division Commander."
According to the advance speed of the 10th Division.
Isogai Rensuke began to ponder.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander!"
At this time, in the command post, the three of them were discussing the upcoming war.
The Third Group Army in Jining and Wenshang also mobilized.
Ever since Sun Tongxuan and the other two failed to rescue Han Fuqu last time.
"Sichuan Army Liaison Officer... Yang Biao is here to visit."
Everyone from the Third Group Army, led by Yang Sen, all arrived at the material trading location.
The sunlight in the sky gradually dissipated, and a black net gradually shrouded the horizon.
The villagers of Jining and Wenshang helped the Third Group Army cook, wash clothes, and stitch shoe soles.
"The division's transport, engineers, cavalry, artillery, and other branches must keep up with the team."
"Ever since we retreated all the way, the entire Shandong Province, and even the people of the whole country."
Li Delin ordered the Third Group Army to hold Jining and Wenshang at all costs.
"If a Division Commander falls, a Brigade Commander takes his place; if a Brigade Commander falls, a Regimental Commander takes his place, and so on."
After all, ever since the fighting began, the Third Group Army had collapsed at the first touch, their combat effectiveness being practically zero.
"Do not detach from the main force!"
However, judging by the weapon manifest from the last transaction, the Sichuan Army did not seem to have taken a cut.
The weapons and ammunition were provided in full, down to the last piece!
"Liaison Officer Yang... this... is there some mistake?"
