Zhou Weiguo delivered a telegram and spoke straightforwardly.
"These devils... are really silent now."
"Our troops haven't arrived yet, and these Japs are all focused on recruiting troops and horses."
"We only dispatched less than 120,000 troops, but these devils easily swept away 350,000 troops."
"The total number of troops is three times ours."
Fang Yu frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
"Brother Fang, our troops have much greater firepower than the Japanese."
"When the time comes, we'll just use heavy artillery to kill these little sons of bitches."
"There shouldn't be any surprises."
Chu Yunfei, commander of the Second Division, seemed very optimistic.
"Confrontation of fire?"
"Our artillery fire is certainly not bad, but what about the Japanese side?"
"Don't forget, there is the largest arsenal in this city..."
"With an arsenal, what kind of heavy artillery can't be produced?"
"Commander, I feel that this battle is not easy to fight."
"Once the delay is too long and Japanese reinforcements from surrounding areas arrive, the new 1st Division will be in danger."
"I never thought that these devils would mobilize so many reinforcements in such a short period of time."
"The Japs have now given up on all the surrounding cities and only want to defend Tiancheng."
Zhou Weiguo raised concerns.
This is indeed the issue at hand.
I didn't expect it to be stuck here.
After all, he still underestimated these devils.
"Commander, how about we take advantage of the situation and capture all the surrounding cities, surround Tiancheng, and treat it as an isolated city."
"When is the right time to capture Tiancheng again?"
"I don't know if this method is feasible."
Sun Shaobai, chief of staff of the New First Division, immediately put forward his own ideas.
The idea is quite novel.
Just how likely is this to be achievable?
These are unknown.
The situation is delicate.
The situation is not yet stable.
"Even if we capture the surrounding cities, we won't be able to defend them for long because our forces are too spread out."
"The devils use Tiancheng as their foundation and can come back at any time."
"So the risk factor in this matter is still relatively high."
"For our new division, the gains outweigh the losses."
"Our current military strength does not allow us to occupy so many cities piecemeal."
"Tiancheng is the core of the Japs, and it is the top priority for us to attack."
"This is also the strategy and tactics we established from the beginning."
"It's not easy to storm the Celestial City..."
"The current Tiancheng is like a bastard shell, too hard..."
"But what if...we take it down from the inside?"
Fang Yu raised his eyebrows and his eyes gradually became solemn.
"Inside... take it?"
"Brother Fang, what does this mean?"
Chu Yunfei, commander of the Second Division, was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding.
"Have you seen my guard group?"
Fang Yu said straightforwardly.
"Um?"
"This is indeed not the case."
"The commander's security regiment should have left with the Locust Alliance Army division commander Zheng Shaohui who surrendered."
"This Zheng Shaohui said that he has a brother in Tiancheng who is a brigade commander, and he can disguise the guard regiment into Tiancheng..."
"hiss……"
"Commander, is he planning to let the guard regiment explode in Tiancheng?"
"Then they swept across the Japs' headquarters in Tiancheng, causing the Japs to be completely in disarray and lose command."
"When the time comes, we will be able to conquer Tiancheng in one go from the periphery?"
"Commander, is this method... too risky?"
"Even if Zheng Shaohui sincerely helps us, if something unexpected happens when the security group enters the city..."
Zhou Weiguo, deputy commander of the new 1st Division, frowned and his worry was palpable.
"If you're fighting against Japanese invaders, why don't you take some risks?"
"This time, Duan Peng led the team to Tiancheng."
"I believe this boy will not let me down."
"There is also Zheng Shaohui, the division commander of the Locust Alliance Army who defected from the 93rd Army. Although I don't have much communication with him, I feel that he still has passion in his bones."
"And he behaves in a very orderly manner. He is by no means an incompetent person."
"There is no better way now. We can only wait for the good news."
"Wait for the message from the guard regiment and be ready to launch an attack at any time."
"Once the Japs' central command collapses, it will be much easier to take over Tiancheng in one go."
Fang Yu raised his eyebrows, his eyes shining with strange brilliance.
…
…
at the same time.
Inside Tiancheng City.
Under the arrangement of Zheng Tu, commander of the 57th Brigade of the 13th Army of the Locust Association, the guard regiment entered Tiancheng without any danger and found a place to garrison.
At this moment, the entire guard regiment was wearing the dog skins of the Locust Alliance Army.
The soldiers on the periphery basically held Hanyang-made, Chinese-style rifles or 38-type rifles to fool the Japanese.
However, most of the core soldiers still hold a series of standard weapons such as AK47 assault rifles.
"Brother, tell me honestly, are these people your soldiers?"
"Am I supposed to know what the virtues of our Locust Alliance are? How can we have such surging vitality when we are all just eating and waiting to die?"
"You can tell at a glance that these people are battle-hardened elite soldiers..."
"There is a fierce glow in each of those eyes..."
"Brother, there were too many people at the city gate just now, so I didn't ask, but now, you have to tell me the truth."
"Otherwise, brother, I won't be able to save my head."
"Now those Japs are like frightened birds, they dare to do anything..."
"If anything happens, it will be over..."
"Brother...
Zheng Tu, commander of the 57th Brigade of the 13th Army of the Locust Alliance, took a breath of cold air, with a look of embarrassment on his face at this moment.
"Second brother."
"Has eldest brother ever harmed you?"
Zheng Shaohui, former commander of the 2nd Division of the 93rd Army of the Locust Alliance Army, said solemnly.
"Of course not."
"Brother, I know how you treat me."
"I think if it hadn't been for you, I would have been killed several times by the superiors."
"Brother, my life belongs to you. If you want it, you can take it away from me, Zheng Tu, at any time."
"But we still have more than 5,000 brothers in the 57th Brigade..."
"They all pointed at me to eat."
"I can't let them get executed by the Japanese too."
"Brother, if it's still too late to turn back now..."
"Brother..."
Zheng Tu, commander of the 57th Brigade of the 13th Army of the Locust Alliance Army, said every word.
"It's because of your brothers that you have to change even more."
"Don't you know what the devil's situation is now?"
"Everywhere on the battlefield, soldiers were defeated like mountains."
"These devils are now like grasshoppers after the fall, and they won't be able to jump around for a few days at all."
"Under such circumstances, second brother, if you follow these devils to the end, what do you think will happen to the thousands of brothers under your command?"
"Second brother, no matter what, we are from Xia!"
