Chapter 120 The Kwantung Army goes south!(1/2)

The dispatch of troops of the 98th Army once again shocked the country. The generosity of more than 400 tanks and hundreds of cannons also made the people across the country full of expectations for the next performance of the 98th Army. As the strongest army in China, it can be said that it has shouldered almost all the responsibilities.

The last hope of all Chinese people.//Visit and download the txt novel //.

Similarly, this incident also alarmed the Japanese base camp. After careful study, they all set their sights on Northeast China.

"Bang! Bang!"

"Come in."

An Gangwuchen pushed open the door of Kwantung Army Commander Ueda Kenkichi's office and found that Ueda Kenkichi was dealing with some documents.

So he saluted Ueda Kenkichi and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, I wonder what business you have with me?"

Ueda Kenkichi glanced at Angao Wuchen, then put down the pen in his hand and said to him: "It turns out that Mr. Angao is here, sit down."

After seeing An Gang Wuchen sit down, he continued: "Mr. An Gang, I wonder how much you know about the 98th Army?"

"98th Army?"

An Gangwuchen couldn't help but be surprised after hearing his words. What did the commander mean?

"The 98th Army has many armored vehicles, and their armored vehicles are very powerful, and their troops' combat effectiveness is not very good."

An Gangwuchen thought for a while and said.

Since the last Battle of Nanjing, all the Japanese who have seen the tanks of the 1** Division have praised the tanks of the 1** Division, because not only are their tanks no match for the enemy, but even their anti-tank guns are no match for them.

Unable to effectively penetrate the frontal armor of enemy tanks.

Some Japs even claimed that they saw with their own eyes the enemy tanks crushing their own Type 94 tanks alive. Although many senior Japanese military officials were skeptical of this statement, one thing is certain, that is

The tanks of the 1** Division are really strong, at least much stronger than the tanks of their Japanese Empire.

Therefore, the top brass of the Japanese Army deliberately increased their efforts to collect information about the tanks of the 98th Army. As a senior general who was very interested in armored vehicle tactics, An Gangwuchen also deliberately collected some information about the 98th Army.

"You are right. The armored vehicles of the 98th Army are indeed very strong. If the empire asks you to deal with the tanks of the 98th Army, how are you going to deal with them?"

Ueda Kenkichi said to him.

"Is this..." An Gangwuchen felt a little embarrassed. According to the information he received, it seemed that no tank in the Japanese Empire was a match for the enemy.

"I will order our tanks to close the distance with the opponent as quickly as possible, and then let them use tank guns to attack the side armor of the enemy tank."

"Or use anti-tank mines, heavy artillery, or aircraft. These should also be able to kill enemy tanks."

An Gangwuchen thought for a while and said.

"Well, you are indeed a very thoughtful person. It seems that the base camp has not misjudged the person."

Ueda Kenkichi said to him very satisfied.

"You know the news about the 98th Army sending troops, right?"

"knew."

An Gangwuchen nodded and said.

The momentum of the 98th Army's dispatch of troops was really astonishing and was reported in many newspapers, so he was very aware of this.

"In order to deal with the 98th Army, after research and decision at the base camp, we decided to establish a new organization, that is, the tank regiment. From today on, you will be the commander of the first tank regiment of the Japanese Empire."

Ueda Kenkichi said to him.

"Chariot regiment?"

An Gangwuchen said a little puzzled, what is this?

"That's right? The large-scale centralized use of tanks by the 1** Division during the Battle of Nanjing inspired us a lot. Many senior generals of our army thought that we could try this approach. Therefore, the base camp decided to establish a similar organization.

That's the Chariot Regiment."

"Your First Tank Regiment has two tank regiments, two infantry regiments, a field artillery regiment, a heavy artillery regiment, an anti-aircraft artillery regiment and some auxiliary units. These are your combat vehicle regiments.

Information about the chariot regiment."

After saying that, he handed a document bag to An Gang Wuchen. After taking the document bag, An Gang Wuchen took out the documents inside and read them carefully.

"The tank regiment is just our experimental organization. It is a loose organization similar to the Western battle group. If the results of this battle are good, we will consider setting up a real tank division."

Ueda Kenkichi said to him.

Angao Takeomi briefly read the contents and then said to Ueda Kenkichi: "Does the base camp want me to go south to deal with the 98th Army?"

"Yes, after careful study by the base camp, they all believe that the best way to deal with tanks is to use tanks to deal with them." Ueda Kenkichi said, "The base camp decided to temporarily integrate your First Tank Regiment into the North China Front Army as a way to deal with 98

The backbone of the army."

After listening to his words, An Gang Wuchen felt a little uneasy. The difference between their tanks and the enemy's was too far, and the two tank regiments sounded like they had a lot of tanks, but the real number of tanks was not at all

Not much.

"Because the war situation is urgent, the base camp needs you to go south as soon as possible to support the Shandong war, so there is no time for you to conduct integrated training. Do you have any questions?"

Ueda Kenkichi said to him.

"I want to know what troops will be available to cooperate with us then."

An Gangwuchen said to him.

"This is not very clear yet, but I estimate that the North China Front Army will send at least two to three divisions to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the 98th Army."

Ueda Kenkichi said to him.

After listening to his words, An Gang Wuchen immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they were not allowed to fight against the 98th Army alone.

"Report to your Excellency, Commander, I have no problem."

An Gangwuchen said to him quickly.

"Then hurry up and prepare. Here is all the information about the 98th Army. Read it carefully on the way. You have to remember that the enemy is very powerful. You must not be careless when dealing with the 98th Army."

After taking the information handed over by Ueda Yoshiken, Takeomi Anoka said to him: "Hi!"

In the headquarters of the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth War Zone, Commander-in-Chief Li Zongren of the Fifth War Zone burst out laughing after hearing the news. With the addition of the ace unit of the 98th Army, the next war will be much easier to fight.

But at this time, a telegram from Teng County wiped out his good mood.

A messenger hurried in and handed a telegram asking for help to Li Zongren.

"Report sir, an urgent rescue telegram has been sent from Teng County."

"Didn't I send Tang Enbo's 85th Army to support Teng County? Why are they still asking for reinforcements?"

It was obvious that Li Zongren was a little confused about Teng County's telegram asking for help, but he still quickly took the telegram and read it carefully.

"This damn Tang Enbo is really hateful!"

After reading the telegram, Li Zongren couldn't help but cursed in anger.

"Brother De Lin, what's going on? What happened to make you so angry?"

Zhang Shouling, the senior staff officer of the Fifth War Zone on the side, couldn't help but asked curiously.

"Tang Enbo's subordinate Wang Zhonglian insisted on attacking Zaozhuang first, saying what he wanted to contain the enemy. As a result, the 122nd Division in Teng County did not see any reinforcements at all, and the Japanese army still launched a fierce attack on them."

Li Zongren said with an annoyed look.

After listening to Li Zongren's words, Zhang Shouling understood why Li Zongren was so angry.

Tang Enbo and Chiang Kai-shek were both from Zhejiang, which meant that he was a member of Chiang Kai-shek's Township Party. Those who know a lot about politics would know that Chiang Kai-shek attached great importance to the so-called Township Party, and many Zhejiang people were highly valued by him.

Moreover, Tang Enbo and Chiang Kai-shek both attended the Japanese Army Sergeant School, so he and Chiang Kai-shek had a classmate friendship, so Tang Enbo has always been deeply trusted by Chiang Kai-shek.

And his 20th Army was not only fully equipped, but also equipped with a German heavy artillery battalion. It can be said to be the true direct line of the Central Army.

It is precisely because he not only has strong hands, but also has great hands and eyes, which also means that except for Chiang Kai-shek, no one else can command his 20th Army.

In history, it was precisely because of Tang Enbo's so-called containment strategy that the commander of the 122nd Division, Wang Mingzhang, was killed in battle. In the end, the 22nd Army had to withdraw entirely from Teng County.

"I knew I couldn't count on Tang Enbo."

Li Zongren said with a look of resentment, if possible, he really wanted Tang Enbo to get as far away as possible.

But now the army's strength is limited. Even if Tang Enbo disobeys orders, he must rely on Tang Enbo's 20th Army Corps.

But now he has a better choice.

"Inform the 98th Army and order other units to go as quickly as possible to support the 22nd Army in Teng County."

"Teng County? The 22nd Army, Sun Zhen, Wang Mingzhang, Tang Enbo..."

After receiving the telegram from Li Zongren, a smile appeared on Lu Mingxuan's lips.

"It seems that Wang Mingzhang was an anti-Japanese hero? It would be a pity if such a person died."

"Contact me the 22nd Army and ask them what help they need most now?"
