Anti-Japanese War: The whole world is a base vehicle

Chapter 99 Lu Yuhua is the German’s biological son? (Subscribe!)
"How is the advancing speed of each battalion?" After the heavy artillery stopped bombing, Zhou Weiguo urged each battalion to start the attack according to the pre-planned plan.

Now almost half an hour has passed. If nothing unexpected happens, we should have taken over the outer positions.

"Except for the First Battalion which reported that it has captured the designated position, the other battalions and companies have not reported yet and should still be attacking." The communications staff stood up and reported.

"The speed is too slow. The heavy artillery has been bombarding for so long that the Japanese positions have been basically destroyed. Why does it take so long?" Zhou Weiguo said somewhat dissatisfiedly.

Hearing this, the communications staff officer was speechless and he didn't know how to respond.

Could it be that?
Are they too weak?
In fact, the speed was already very fast. In just half an hour, all the positions that should be taken were basically taken.

Except for a few somewhat strong positions, the troops here are waiting for artillery support.

The power of the 50mm mortar is still too weak.

It is impossible to destroy the opponent in a short time.

"Colonel Zhou, their attack speed is not slow. The mountain roads here are rugged, so we can't ask too much of them." Colonel William stepped forward and advised at the right time.

"I know, but I'm afraid the enemy will escape." Zhou Weiguo shook his head.

When it comes to understanding the Japanese army, few people understand it better than him.

Now that they have demonstrated their powerful firepower, the Japanese army might be scared away, and his plan to annihilate the Japanese army would be shattered.

"That shouldn't be the case?" Colonel William said after a moment of hesitation.

"There's a high chance he'll run away." Zhou Weiguo sighed.

"Send a telegram to the commander-in-chief and have the heavy artillery move forward."

"Move forward further?" Colonel William frowned slightly.

Every time the heavy artillery moves forward, it becomes extremely difficult.

"Why not let the regiment's artillery company move forward?" Colonel William suggested.

"Then have the regiment's artillery company move forward immediately and reach the designated location."

"Also, send out the special forces company and the reconnaissance company and try to get to the east of Qinzhou City to see the movements of the Japanese army. If the Japanese army retreats, find a way to stop them." Zhou Weiguo was silent for a while, and then issued a new order.

"Yes."

"Remember to set up mortar positions and build fortifications." Zhou Weiguo reminded again.

"understand!"

Soon, the order was issued to the regiment's artillery company, reconnaissance company and special forces company.

When receiving this order, the officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance company instantly became energetic and their morale was high.

Because they were not idle during this period. In addition to training every day, the remaining time was used to build various fortifications, lay mines, and even dig pits, etc. They were very busy!

After all, they are a reconnaissance company, and they must learn the technique of laying mines.

Getting the order now means they can fight a good battle.

There's even a chance of catching a big fish.

After all, if we don't have big fish, we will fail in our mission of blocking the Japanese army's retreat.

As for the artillery company, they originally thought that it would not be their turn to play, but they unexpectedly got the chance to play, which was indeed beyond their expectations.

Especially after seeing the heavy artillery's power, he knew that he probably had no chance to take action.

Who knew there was still an opportunity in the mall now? Naturally, I am extremely excited.

Although they are not as good as heavy artillery, they also have 120mm mortars, which are quite lethal.

Even though this is a newly formed security team, its combat effectiveness is definitely not weak.

Nearly half of the soldiers are conscripted soldiers, including mid-level conscripted soldiers.

Yes!

After the war, Lu Yuhua promoted some of the mobilized soldiers from elementary to intermediate levels.

Combat effectiveness will naturally be improved.

Although some of them are new recruits, they are making steady progress under the leadership of veterans.

It was more than enough to deal with the Japanese troops who were stunned by the heavy artillery.

After receiving the order, the troops immediately took action.

Rush to the designated location as soon as possible to set up defense lines and build simple defense lines.

Fortunately, it doesn’t take too long to build a simple shelter, as long as there is cover.

The other battalions and companies continued to advance.

At present, the overall progress is still very fast.

The Japanese troops on the periphery had already lost the will to resist after being bombarded by heavy artillery, and it was easy to capture the position.

"Send a telegram to the regiment headquarters and tell them that we have captured the position and are heading towards Qinzhou." Second Battalion Commander Zhao Meng said to the communications staff officer beside him.

"Yes." The communications staff responded immediately.

After receiving the report from the Second Battalion, Zhou Weiguo immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If nothing unexpected happened, there should be no problem in taking Qinzhou.

In fact, the Japanese troops in the city had already begun packing up and retreating.

Just as Zhou Weiguo said, Lieutenant General Haruyoshi Momotake saw that the situation was not right and immediately gave the order to retreat.

After all, staying in the city means waiting for death, so it is better to retreat first.

Unless there was no way to retreat, the Japanese army would never be so foolish as to stay where they were and wait to die.

……

"Has Qinzhou's outer defense line been breached?" Lu Yuhua seemed calm as he looked at the telegram that had just been delivered.

If they can't take down an outer defense line with so many artillery shells bombarding in turn, Lu Yuhua would start to suspect whether this Zhou Weiguo is a fake.

It now seems that Zhou Weiguo's military ability is not bad, and he can be given more responsibilities in the future.

If nothing unexpected happens, it won’t take long to capture Qinzhou.

The next option before him was either to attack Qiongzhou Island or to attack eastward and retake Yangcheng.

The former requires the help of the navy, while the latter needs to consider logistical supplies.

The Japanese army needed to use buffaloes to transport weapons and equipment, which was enough to show how bad the roads were.

So he had to consider the logistics.

After checking the weapons and equipment, he found that only the Sdkfz2 tracked motorcycle seemed to meet his needs.

The total number of this motorcycle produced reached more than 7400 units. It was widely used in World War II. It is small, flexible, and has good off-road performance, and is deeply loved by German soldiers.

In addition to being used to tow light artillery and mount small trailers, it is also often used to directly transport personnel and supplies, as well as perform reconnaissance and communication tasks.

Obviously, it is more powerful than a two-wheeled or three-wheeled motorcycle with a trailer.

However, like other half-track vehicles, it is not as good as tracked vehicles in off-road driving ability, and is not as good as wheeled vehicles in road driving ability and reliability.

Despite its shortcomings, it is a good weapon in Lu Yuhua's eyes.

Because the other party saves fuel.

For him, other weapons are big oil consumers, and he is not qualified to waste oil now.

So he had to find a vehicle that was both fuel efficient and capable of transporting goods.

After choosing and choosing, this is the only one that is suitable.

After taking a look at the cost, I find it acceptable.

After calculating how many tracked motorcycles were needed, Lu Yuhua couldn't help but twitch.

How expensive!
If it weren't for the fact that we made a lot of money from the arms business during this period, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to afford it.

"No, we have to sell the warship quickly, otherwise we won't be able to maintain it." Profits have been declining recently, and Lu Yuhua knows that it must have reached its limit.

After all, the warlords' wealth is limited, not unlimited.

So if you want to make money, you can only target the great powers.

As for the money mined every day, it is only enough to maintain basic consumption.

After all, power plants require maintenance, and all of this costs money.

"Fortunately, Qinzhou is about to be taken. We should find a way to transport the tanks to Qinzhou." Lu Yuhua touched his chin. He was thinking of a reason to transport the tanks there.

He currently has ten Type 3 tanks and five Type 4 tanks.

We can deploy tank troops.

By the way, cover the T34 tank. As for where did his tank come from?

Given by the Germans.

He doesn't care whether anyone will verify it or not.

As his military strength continues to increase, he no longer has to care too much about what others think.

"Then let the tank troops go out and take down Qinzhou city in one go." Lu Yuhua did as he said. He used his merits again to upgrade a wave of tank soldiers.

Seeing that a large amount of merit had been deducted, Lu Yuhua couldn't help but feel distressed.

However, I felt much better when I thought about the great merits I would gain after taking Qinzhou.

……

"Tank troops?" Zhou Weiguo was surprised when he saw the telegram sent by Lu Yuhua.

When did the tanks come out secretly?
Only Colonel William standing aside remained calm, without any expression of surprise on his face.

It seems like I knew it a long time ago.

Looking at Colonel William's expression, Zhou Weiguo instantly understood that it must have been given by the Germans.

But he was really curious, why did the Germans help Lu Yuhua so desperately?
What kind of cooperation do the two parties have?
Fortunately, he knew that such things could not be asked blindly, so he pretended not to know.

"Since we have a tank unit, it will be easy. Let the tanks take the lead and take Qinzhou as quickly as possible." Zhou Weiguo adjusted the tactics again.

Colonel William had no objection to this. He just wanted to take Qinzhou as soon as possible and then transport the tanks back.

Now that it’s so close, I’m naturally extremely excited.

After receiving the order, the soldiers of the battalion that was attacking on the front line were stunned.

Pause the attack!

Waiting for the arrival of tank troops.

"And tanks?"

"Yeah, we still have tanks?"

"Is it the same as the Japanese's iron turtle?"

As they were talking, a rumbling sound of an engine came from behind.

"coming!"

The battalion commander ignored his subordinates and looked behind him.

I saw a number of steel behemoths appearing not far away.

As time went by, these steel behemoths appeared in front of everyone.

"Hiss! Is this a tank?"

"This looks scary, doesn't it?"

"Oh my god, is this our tank?"

"Hurry, hurry, catch up." The officers leading the team shouted.

After hearing this, the rest of the infantry reacted and followed the veteran's order, closely following the tank.

"Is this really our tank?"

"Maybe!"

"Oh my god, I didn't expect we have tanks? I'm afraid the regular troops don't even have them?"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and don't get lost."

"Yes."

The rumbling sound of tanks accompanied by bursts of black smoke tore through the camouflage and rushed towards the Qinzhou city gate ahead.

Unfortunately, the imagined counterattack did not occur.

The entire city gate was extremely quiet, with no movement at all.

"Oh my god, they won't all run away, right?"

"Probably not?"

"Maybe they have already been scared away by our powerful firepower?"

"Shut up, spread out, and be careful of the Japanese army's cold guns."

"Yes."

"Charge, keep charging forward, don't get too far away from the tank, and pay attention to your surroundings."

"Yes."

Because many of them are new recruits, the veterans remind them all the time, fearing that something unexpected might happen to them.

Normally according to military rules, only those who have survived three battles are qualified to be called comrades-in-arms.

This is why many troops do not regard new recruits as comrades-in-arms, but call them cannon fodder.

Only after surviving three battles can you be qualified to laugh and say, you kid is still alive.

Only at this time will they call each other comrades.

"Charge, keep charging forward!"

After occupying the city gate, the infantry followed the tanks closely and advanced forward.

The Japanese soldiers who stayed behind to fight in the street were simply stunned, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

"What? The Chinese actually have tanks?"

"Since when do they have tanks too?"

Aircraft and artillery are already excessive enough.

Now the tanks?

How is this played?
It would be better to just surrender.

"Contact the division headquarters immediately and tell them that the Chinese have tanks. Ask them to find out where the tanks came from." said the Japanese major stationed in Qinzhou.

"Hay."

"Sir Captain, the most important thing now is to command the troops and repel the Chinese attack, otherwise their tanks will break through our defense line." The captain beside him spoke quickly.

"Try their tanks first."

There is nothing wrong with this order itself. If the tank's performance is not good enough, they might still have a chance.

As a result, they were dumbfounded the next second.

Because those tanks were much more powerful than they imagined.

.........

"What? The Chinese actually have tanks?" Lieutenant General Haruyoshi Momotake felt that he was completely dumbfounded. In fact, he had been confused by the other party and didn't know what to say.

In other words, he thinks it is normal if the other party has any new equipment.

He even felt that it would be very normal if the other party had warships next time.

Oh!
There are also battleships!
What else don't you have!
The tone will definitely be very calm, without any fluctuations.

"Why do they have tanks? What do the Germans want?"

"Damn it! They're even selling tanks?"

"Mr. Division Commander, what should we do now? The Chinese have heavy artillery, planes, and tanks. The Seventh Battalion in the city won't be able to hold out for long." Someone said.

Hearing this, Lieutenant General Haruyoshi Momotake could only roll his eyes and say, Don’t I know?
what can I do?
Letting the enemy stay in the city is just to delay the advance of the Chinese army.

It now seems to be a wise choice, otherwise even if they ran their legs off, they would still not be able to outrun the tanks.

Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Haruyoshi Momotake felt his scalp tingling.

At the same time, he was very curious about what benefits the other party had given to the Germans that they were willing to sell them even tanks.

In fact, German Ambassador to Japan Eugen Otto was also speechless when he heard the news.

If we are talking about light weapons, they may be smuggled by private individuals in order to make huge profits.

But tanks are definitely not something that ordinary people can get.

I was shocked today and speechless! There are tents everywhere outside, but I am still typing away at home! Money is more important than life, the key is that I just want full attendance!
