Before Wang Mazi's phone line could be pulled up, the Japanese plane swooped over, really quickly.
"Hurry up and put up all the Japs plaster flags we captured and place them in conspicuous places to interfere with the Japs' planes dropping bombs." Wen San had been thinking about how to deal with this problem for a long time.
The Japanese plane flew so high that it was impossible to see it so clearly. Put the Japs plaster flag in a more conspicuous position. The Japs pilots will definitely be able to see it before dropping bombs.
Wen San didn't believe that the Japanese pilots would drop bombs here after seeing the plaster flag. If this is the case, there is no guarantee that they will not drop bombs on the heads of the Japanese.
Even if the Japanese see through his ruse, they will have to make multiple confirmations before they dare to drop the bomb. This leaves them with a certain amount of time to react, or at least to make effective evasions.
This strategy of recruiting suspicious soldiers quickly had an effect. The area where Li Baisha and others were located was hardly bombed by Japanese planes. The positions of the 159th Division and the 160th Division indeed dropped a lot of bombs.
Although they had already made psychological preparations and took necessary precautions, there were still many casualties. Fortunately, the fighting was not intense at this time, and the Japanese planes left in a circle after dropping bombs for a few rounds.
Because they received more important combat instructions, a war has already started on Qinglong Mountain. The Japanese planes will be dispatched to support the battlefield on the Qinglong Mountain side.
Relying on the battlefield that had been dug long ago, the 154th Division repelled the Japanese attacks one after another. After they received a batch of equipment from the New Field Brigade, their firepower became much more ferocious. In particular, the number of light and heavy machine guns has increased by about one-third. The number of Sanba Daigai increased by 3,000, and the firepower was at least doubled compared to before.
The commander of the 16th Division, Nakajima Kongo, was so angry that he vomited blood. He could tell from the sound of gunfire that these were equipment of the Imperial Army. Unexpectedly, I used it to attack them now, and the effect was very good. The enemy screamed and couldn't move forward even half a step.
On the 51st Division's side, after being reprimanded by the commissioner, they finally accelerated their march. When the Japanese were repelled by the 154th Division for the second time, they finally caught up. He directed his anger at the devil's head.
Nakajima immediately realized that he was in danger. Not only were they blocked by the 154th Division, but they were also pursued by the 51st Division. If you don't call for air fire support in time, you may suffer a big loss.
After the Japanese headquarters learned about the battle situation on the Jiuhua Mountain side, they immediately sent aircraft to support here. The leader of the Japanese division has no room for failure in this unit.
The battle to defend the capital is in full swing everywhere, and the media is also following suit!
"Extra, extra! After the destruction of the Ghost Palace Regiment, our army has another great victory, wiping out the entire Japanese New Field Brigade, a total of more than 8,000 people!"
In the Shanghai Concession, newsboys ran all over the streets, spreading this exciting news everywhere. Although there are many Japanese spies secretly interfering and doing some shady things, they still cannot stop the patriotic enthusiasm of the Chinese land!
The sound of firecrackers was heard everywhere, and people were celebrating this hard-won victory.
In two days, the national army killed a Japanese regiment, and then a brigade. If this continues, the Japanese will be like grasshoppers after the autumn, and they will not be able to jump around for a few days!
How can our forty million compatriots be allowed to be trampled upon by the Japanese? They will surely rise up to kill the enemy and defend the mountains and rivers!
Anti-Japanese teams across the country have greatly increased their confidence and finally saw a glimmer of victory. Perhaps this is a good start.
Stimulated by this major benefit, many combat teams took bold action and launched a desperate counterattack against the Japanese.
At the same time, patriots once again organized demonstrations to oppose Japanese imperialist aggression. Many students studying abroad resolutely decided to return to China, preparing to join this huge anti-Japanese and national salvation movement.
The 66th Army and Wen San's Independent Regiment once again became famous all over the country, becoming the focus of discussions among various ministries, and becoming the troops that many good men who are determined to serve the motherland aspire to.
On the international powers' side, their attitudes towards the Japanese have also undergone some subtle changes. The Japanese have always been very aggressive, both on the battlefield and in international diplomacy.
The Japanese often make small moves when they are behind the scenes, and they are even more bloody and cruel on the battlefield. They often kill innocent women, children and the elderly, causing a large number of civilian deaths. Instead of restraining themselves, the Japanese became more and more aggressive. If the war went against their will, they would vent their anger on civilians.
The international powers often pretend to be deaf and mute, deliberately ignoring the Japanese's bad behavior against humanity. The great powers led by the United States and Britain frequently conducted military supplies trade with the Japanese in order to earn more bloody war wealth.
As long as the Japs continue to be strong, they will not care how many people die on the land of China. The interests before them are what they care about most.
But as the Japanese frontline troops suffered consecutive defeats, this gave the international powers some new ideas. Maybe they can also sell some weapons and ammunition to the opposing troops, so that they can fight each other more intensely and consume more money.
In this way, they will gain greater benefits and more wealth.
Such changes are naturally very sensitive. The national government quickly seized the opportunity and immediately began to take action, purchasing combat equipment from the great powers of the United States and Britain, and from Mustache.
The Japanese had been trying to obstruct it before. Seeing the tough attitude of the Japanese and the one-sided situation on the battlefield, the great powers found various reasons to reject the government's request for weapons.
In the past two days, the achievements of the national army have made the great powers no longer believe in the Japanese. Many people realized that the national army could not defeat the Japanese because their equipment was inferior. What would happen if they were equipped with advanced weapons?
There are many great powers who have this idea, and they do not want to see the ugly virtues of the Japanese showing off their power. Since someone can open a wound on the Japs, it seems good to add a pinch of salt, since it is not their fate to fight anyway.
As the saying goes, watching the excitement is not a big deal, not to mention making a war fortune.
Both Yingjiang and Mustache's military attache in China agreed to the government's idea of purchasing weapons. Of course, they also seized the opportunity and raised the original price by another 20%.
The government has no choice. If you can’t produce good things yourself, what can you do if you don’t ask for help? If someone agrees to sell it to you, it's already a high price. Previously, even if you waved the gold bars in your hand, you couldn't buy anything.
The German weapons and equipment in the commissioner's hand were obtained before the war started, and they were not in large quantities; so he held them firmly in his hands and would not let them go easily.
Not only did Mustache sell the equipment, he also sent a so-called observation team. With an arrogant attitude, they directed the national army to fight at will, but they did not achieve much effect.
