"boom……"

"boom……"

The sounds of gunfire and artillery fire from the Japanese invaders' exercises were still heard.

Through the telescope, we can even see the shadows of the Japanese invaders' elite soldiers. They are all cavalry scouts.

They looked at Wanping City and the nearby Marco Polo Bridge in the distance.

Obviously, the pertinence is very obvious. The target is Wanping.

It's imminent.

The bayonet was already at his throat.

Just the Japanese garrison in North China is already so arrogant. Alas...

"How many people are there in the Japanese invaders now?"

"More than 30,000, maybe 40,000."

"What about us?"

"About one hundred thousand."

"What if the Japanese Kwantung Army sends reinforcements?"

"this……"

Wang Pu did not answer.

There are some words that need not be said, but are understood by heart.

Obviously, just dealing with the Japanese garrison in North China was already very difficult.

If the Japanese Kwantung Army sends reinforcements, the 29th Army will definitely not be able to withstand it. The Japanese Kwantung Army's combat effectiveness is too strong and their numbers are large.

There are also the Mongolian troops stationed in the north. They are all cavalry. There are four cavalry divisions and more than a dozen cavalry regiments. They are also a very fatal threat to Peiping.

Therefore, the 29th Army had to deploy a large number of troops in the northwest direction along the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway.

The purpose of this is to retreat to the northwest.

If Peiping falls, the troops will withdraw to Zhangjiakou.

After all, the foundation of the 29th Army is still in the northwest. It is the remnant of the Northwest Army.

"When does the drill start?"

"at any time."

"Who are the participating troops?"

"Pang Lin's 51st Division."

"Just one division?"

"Yes."

"That's also called large-scale?"

"Pang Lin's 51st Division has more than 8,000 troops."

"Well……"

Zhang Yong was about to speak but stopped.

I really want to ask, how big can a division be?

But then I thought about it and let it go. At this moment, it is not practical to concentrate the entire army on exercises.

We are now fully prepared for war. It is difficult to mobilize troops.

"Last year, we held a drill with 40,000 people. 40,000 people."

"I know."

Zhang Yong nodded.

Wang Pu particularly emphasized the number of 40,000 people at a time.

Last year's 40,000-person exercise was indeed effective and successfully curbed the Japanese aggressors' ambitions to a certain extent.

However, the decisive reason why the Japanese invaders ceased operations last year was not that they were shocked by the exercises of the 29th Army. It was that serious internal strife occurred in the country. It was the February 26th Incident. The Japanese invaders had many internal conflicts that needed to be reconciled. They had no intention of speaking to the outside world for the time being.

Use troops.

However, this year is different.

This year, the power of the Japanese military headquarters has expanded rapidly.

It can be said that no one can stop what the Japanese military wants to do.

The cabinet does not agree with the military's opinion and cannot form a cabinet at all.

In other words, the Japanese military has kidnapped the whole country. Everyone else has no choice but to obey orders.

Under such a background, the Japanese military headquarters was of course unscrupulous and did whatever they wanted. Even if there were several anti-war factions in the Japanese invaders, they no longer dared to say anything.

The war is about to break out. It is inevitable.

Any illusions about peace are in vain. In the face of the crazy Japanese invaders, there can be no peace.

"Chief of Staff Wang."

"Commissioner, tell me."

"I judge that in one month, the Japanese invaders will launch a full-scale attack."

"A month?"

"Yes. About a month."

"Is there any evidence?"

"According to the confessions of the Japanese spies I captured, the Japanese riverside brigade is ready for a full-scale attack and will stir up trouble at any time."

"Yeah?"

Wang Pu was noncommittal.

Obviously, he didn't pay much attention to Zhang Yong's opinion.

The Japanese invaders often stir up trouble, either here or there. They are used to it.

Anyway, it can be resolved through peace talks in the end. At most, some concessions will be made.

"What's the content of the exercise?"

"Positional offensive and defensive warfare."

"Who is the attacker?"

"There is no attacker."

"What's the meaning?"

"Purely practice position defense."

"Defense? Innocence?"

"Yes. A pure defensive battle."

"What's the use?"

"It can make soldiers more familiar with position defense..."

"knew."

Zhang Yong interrupted the other party angrily.

disappointment.

Is this the so-called exercise?

Simply practicing positional defense? Isn’t this a joke?

"This has been arranged by the army a long time ago."

"Yeah?"

"Now that the military base is not in Peiping, of course we will strictly follow the previous plan."

"The military seat is not in Peiping? Where did it go?"

"I went back to my hometown in Leling to recuperate yesterday."

"Leling, Lu Province?"

"Yes."

"this……"

Zhang Yong really wanted to scold his mother.

I really want to scold this Commander Song.

No, the situation in Peiping is so critical that you actually ran back to your hometown to recuperate?

What nonsense!

The current Pingjin area is a volcanic crater that is about to explode. You actually went back to your hometown in Shandong Province to recuperate?

Without you as the backbone, once the Japanese invaders attack, wouldn't the 29th Army be in chaos?

"When will you come back?"

"In three months' time."
