In a few days, the news that Lin Zhong had an artillery division spread throughout half of China, especially in Shancheng, which was known as a first-hand intelligence site. In less than half a day, the news from within Xiaori was received.
The most depressing person was Zhao Tianyuan. Lin Zhong didn't give him any face at first, which made him hold a grudge after he came back. Of course, he was even more jealous.
However, he had been imagining that Lin Zhong was bluffing that day, but today's news shattered the last illusion in his heart on the spot.
An artillery division...
An artillery division can only be equipped with an army of at least four to five million people. Isn't this clearly telling him that Lin Zhong's army is really that powerful?
Shancheng News: The Royal Forest Army defeated Fengtian City, and the artillery division came on stage to repel the 300,000 Kwantung Army in Jilin!
Within the mountain city's high command, several top officers each had a newspaper in hand. The more they read, the more depressed they became...
It feels like this Lin Zhong really jumped out of thin air. In just six months, I didn't expect that a person like Lin Zhong would appear and be able to kill indiscriminately on the frontal battlefield of China!
At the front of the headquarters, a middle-aged man had his hands behind his back, his eyes full of depth.
He said slowly: "Could it be that he has really reached this point..."
Turning his head, the middle-aged man looked at everyone, his face darkened.
"Hmph, didn't you say that Lin Zhong was born with a mud-legged background? Didn't you say that he was just a bunch of rabble?"
"What now? Open your eyes and see, this ragtag group of people you talk about actually showed an artillery division and defeated the Japanese army of 300,000 men!"
The few generals who came to the meeting couldn't help but lower their heads. They still remembered that that day, there were many generals present who didn't look down on Lin Zhong at all.
But why suddenly...
They can't figure it out, and I'm afraid no one can figure it out, including... the Taiyuan Eighth Route Army Headquarters...
In the Taiyuan City headquarters, the Eighth Route Army's intelligence system was slightly worse, and the news was received half a day later than in Shancheng.
The boss and Zuo's staff widened their eyes when they saw the news.
A newspaper was spread on the table, and a group of staff members gathered around.
"Holy shit!"
"Yu Linjun? Whoever named this is so talented!"
"Yes, what a royal guard. He protects my headquarters, protects the safety of China, and guards the four directions. He is not the ancient royal guard. There is also the word "lin" in it, hahaha!"
"The current editor is very good at naming names!"
...
Several staff officers smiled around the newspaper.
It’s just that the boss and staff officer Zuo on the side were lost in thought...
"Lao Zuo, do you think that guy Lin Zhong really has an artillery division?"
Staff Officer Zuo thought for a while, "I don't think it's like that... Even if we don't know the details, we know roughly how much that kid weighs. If he has an artillery division, I can directly serve as his combat staff."
Boss: "..."
After thinking about it for a while, the two decided that it was absolutely impossible for Lin Zhong to really have such a force. It should be a misjudgment by the Japanese, but it was really unclear how Lin Zhong did it.
The boss lit up a cigarette, shook his head with a smile, and sighed softly, "Looks like I have to answer a lot of phone calls again..."
He guessed that many military region bosses would call him soon. After all, Lin Zhong was under his jurisdiction.
He couldn't help but smile, he didn't expect that Lin Zhong would suddenly give him, the deputy commander-in-chief of the second theater, such great dignity.
...
as expected.
A few hours later, calls came one after another from all theater headquarters.
"Hahaha, congratulations, brother, I didn't expect you Eighth Route Army to be hiding and hiding you all this time. The artillery division almost gave me a black eye!"
The boss smiled from ear to ear listening to the compliments on the other end of the phone, and laughed loudly and replied: "Hahaha, a little soldier, what's the big deal, what's the big deal, ridiculous praise, ridiculous praise!"
Second call.
"I said, brother, you are not interesting enough. Why didn't I know that your Eighth Route Army has such a large array?"
"Hey, it's just a small artillery division. I'm serious, I'm serious..."
The other end of the phone: "..."
After several phone calls, the boss was already smiling from ear to ear. When they kept praising Lin Zhong, weren't they just praising him in disguise?
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
"Cool!"
...
The Shandao army retreated again and again, and finally retreated ten miles!
Countless Japanese soldiers trembled, trembling every time they thought of the terrifying artillery array.
That moment was like a nightmare for them.
In just three days, the mountain road retreated another three miles...
In the Japanese camp in the rear, Shandao kept studying the map...
The more he studied, the more depressed he became, because if he wanted to take back Fengtian, the previous artillery array was almost the place he had to pass.
"idiot..."
"What should we do? Is Fengtian City of our Sakura Empire going to be handed over to others?"
There is an artillery position guarding there, do we still have to charge hard?
He thought about the scene that day again, and couldn't help but feel cold all over. He killed an army of 30,000 men in one hour. He would probably remember that day for the rest of his life.
Behind him, the adjutant and combat staff officer, Xiao Er Xinmu, pinched his chin and kept thinking about something.
Then he said: "General, do you think it's possible that the other party is bluffing?"
After hearing this, Sandao was stunned, "Huh? Keep talking! Hurry!"
"Hai!"
"General, I'm thinking, if Lin Zhong's army is really that powerful, we have retreated again and again, but why have they never launched an attack?"
"and..."
"Furthermore, my investigation in the past few days revealed that on the day of the battle, many soldiers of our army discovered that the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side actually used oil barrels to launch fire! This also resulted in a huge power."
"Although the casualties of our army are not small, I think the Eighth Route Army's artillery array is far from reaching the size of an artillery division."
"So! It can be inferred from this that Lin Zhongye most likely does not really have an army of 400,000!"
After saying that, Shandao slapped the table and stood up with a bang, as if he was enlightened!
"That makes sense!"
"According to this, Lin Zhong is just bluffing?"
Xiaoer Xinmu nodded, "Yes, General, I have a plan that can definitely defeat Lin Zhong's artillery formation!"
Shandao grabbed Xiaoer Xinmu and said, "Speak quickly!"
"General, although the artillery formation is strong, it has great limitations. Our army only needs to send two cavalry to attack its two wings to disrupt its artillery position. If the infantry follows closely, its army will be defeated!" The waiter raised his head and gushed. Absolutely.
The eloquent talk attracted many people, and all the staff nodded.
"吆西!"
"Xiao Erjun, you are a pillar of the empire!"
"Send my military order to rectify the three armies, and launch an attack in half a day!!"
"Hai!"
"Hai!"
