"Nani?"
When receiving Momotaro's suggestion, Juichi Terauchi, who was at the headquarters of the Japanese Second Army, was surprised and wanted to curse.
However, he was not scolding Momotaro, but Takaaki Kuwaki, the commander of the 110th Division who conveyed this suggestion to Momotaro.
Sangmu Chongming was also fooled by lard this time, thinking that this time the superiors of his headquarters would praise him. But the call back he received was rebuking.
Because it was not up to Juichi Terauchi to decide what weapons the Japanese army would use. What's more, if all employees are equipped with automatic weapons, your grandma wouldn't even think about it. Can the empire afford it?
If they could afford to equip it, the senior leaders of the headquarters would have already equipped it without Momotaro's suggestion. Don't they know how good automatic weapons are?
The key point is that the empire is really poor. If it hadn't captured the three northeastern provinces and continuously plundered resources from the three northeastern provinces and transported them back to the mainland in six years, how would the empire have the money to go to war with China now?
The headquarters boasts that China will be destroyed in three months. This is not just pretentious, but if China cannot be conquered in three months, the empire will fall into great passivity.
That's why the empire invested so much in the early stage, just to quickly force China to surrender.
But it is obvious that they failed, and their Empire of Japan will also fall into great passivity.
However, it is difficult to recover at this time. Even the little devils know that this battle may drag the Japanese Empire into the abyss, and they must continue to fight, otherwise they will not have more resources to fight the next war.
Moreover, it is not difficult to see from the Japs' offensive line that they have always attacked countries wherever they lack resources. For example, the little devils suddenly launched an attack on Southeast Asia in order to supplement their growing oil demand.
So at this time, it would be strange if Juichi Terauchi agreed to Momotaro's suggestion, and even scolded Kuwaki Takaaki.
Sangmu Chongming was extremely aggrieved this time. He originally thought that the commander would praise him, but he was scolded instead. He called Momotaro back angrily. Momotaro said: The top management are all short-sighted guys. The empire suffered such huge losses, and they didn't even wake up. If the Chinese are all equipped with automatic weapons, then I am afraid that all soldiers of the Japanese Empire will die on this land of China.
Kuangmu Takaaki deeply agrees with this. After all, he trusts Momotaro, and the battle reports ahead are indeed very tragic. The lives of the imperial soldiers are being harvested like a banker.
If there were more troops like the Supervisory Corps in China, the Empire of Japan would really be unable to withstand it.
Of course, the pursuit will continue, and the Second Army Headquarters is deploying more air power to carry out air strikes against the Duanwu Supervision Corps.
This is the little devil's advantage, although in the previous battle with the Supervision Corps, Lu Hang's bombers suffered heavy losses. But compared with thousands of imperial troops dying at the hands of the Dragon Boat Festival, this loss is indeed nothing.
But little did the little devil know that Dragon Boat Festival already had a countermeasure for this. He wants to enter Mount Tai after dawn and blow up all the transport vehicles.
First, because the truck only has enough gasoline to last to Mount Tai. The second thing is that Duanwu knew exactly what the little devil was going to do.
The little devils kept just a few tactics over and over again, and they never changed at all. Apart from artillery bombardment and infantry charges, the only remaining ones were air strikes.
Nowadays, Dragon Boat Festival's air defense weapons have almost been exhausted. Except for the four anti-aircraft guns, all the machine guns had been blown up after running out of shells.
Machine guns and heavy machine guns could only pose a threat to Japanese aircraft flying at low altitudes.
Therefore, Dragon Boat Festival is indeed unable to deal with the Japanese air raids. Because after the breakout, I am afraid that the anti-aircraft guns will be blown up during the Dragon Boat Festival. The entire supervision team only carries mortars and grenade launchers as fire support. What can they use to deal with the Japanese air force?
"Order the troops to move faster. We must enter Mount Tai after dawn."
Duanwu continued to give orders, even though he knew that the soldiers were tired, because once the Japanese plane arrived before they entered Taishan territory, it would be a disaster for the supervision team.
···················
At the same time, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie had already reached Liaocheng.
Except for a small team of Japanese troops and dozens of traitors, there are no decent troops left in Liaocheng.
Li Yunlong took the lead and quickly captured the small town.
Li Yunlong cursed without saying anything: "These little devils are becoming less and less resistant to beatings. Before my new group exerted much force, these little devils ran away. And they even gave me their arsenal." Exploded. I just don’t have time, otherwise if I catch up with them, I will have to rip off their heads.”
Ding Wei said from the side: "Lao Li, just be satisfied. You also caught dozens of guns, but Lao Kong and I didn't catch anything?"
Li Yunlong laughed loudly and said: "Then you can't blame us. Who told our team, Lao Li, to run fast?"
"Damn it, I'll leave first this time."
Kong Jie cursed and left with his team.
Ding Wei shouted: "Lao Kong, wait for me. This time we join forces and do his best."
Ding Wei also called Kong Jie to follow him.
Zhang Dabiao said anxiously at this moment: "Captain, Commander Kong and Commander Ding have left, let's leave quickly, too?"
Li Yunlong chuckled and said: "The stupid Kong Er and Lao Ding are stupid, are you stupid too? I've been fighting for so long without even breaking my teeth. How can I be effective in fighting? Go and find some big restaurants and smash the doors. Come on, let them cook for us. Our new group now has money, let the comrades have a good meal. When we are full and drunk, we will go fight the little devils, hahahaha!"
Zhang Dabiao gave a thumbs up and said: "Captain, you are really tall, I will go right away!"
Zhang Dabiao took the order and went to find a restaurant in the city and knock on the door.
The shopkeeper and waiters of this restaurant had long been awakened by the gunfire in the city. At this time, it would be strange if anyone was still sleeping.
So as soon as Zhang Dabiao knocked on the door, the trembling boss sent his waiter to open the door.
Of course, he couldn't think of opening the door. But can that door bolt hold through someone else's house? This is simply impossible. And what if the other party gets angry and burns down their store?
So no matter how scared they were, they had to open the door, hoping that the other party would not come in to kill someone.
The store door was opened, and Zhang Dabiao led someone in. The waiter was about to say: What are the orders of the imperial army, but he saw that the other party was wearing a gray-blue military uniform with patches and infantry.
They recognized this as the Eighth Route Army, so they quickly changed their words: "Master Eighth Route Army, what are your orders?"
