Four hundred and twentieth chapters change the direction of the attack
"The Seventh Army? Isn't he a force of the Nationalist Government?" Stalin stopped Beria and asked doubtfully. He didn't know much about what happened in China, which was thousands of miles away. (Literature Museum r />
"The Seventh Army is indeed affiliated with the National Government, but only in name, because to be precise it is just a local armed force and only takes orders from a local warlord." Beria explained on the sidelines.
After listening to Beria's words, Stalin fell into deep thought. According to his current status and temper, not to mention a mere group army commander, even Chairman Chiang Kai-shek of the National Government would not pay attention to him, let alone a mere group army commander. A group army commander.
He asked doubtfully: "Comrade Beria, you mean that our new tanks are not equipped with the troops of the National Government, but are equipped with the troops of a local warlord. Isn't this incredible?"
Beria also smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, Comrade Stalin, this incident does sound unbelievable, but it does happen around us. What happened in China is really weird."
Everyone on the side looked at each other and were surprised. The equipment of the central army was not as good as that of the local warlords. This kind of thing was really incredible.
Stalin thought for a while and then asked Beria: "Do you know anything about the local warlord's troops and his commander?"
Beria shook his head: "I'm sorry, Comrade Stalin, because our main energy was focused on Europe before, and we paid too little attention to China. But according to the feedback from our ambassador to China, Comrade Bogomolov, Look, the commander of the Seventh Chinese Army is a young man who is only about thirty years old. His name is Su Rui. This young man's performance can be described as amazing. He began to rise to prominence in Nanjing in 1937. In just over two to three years, he made a magnificent transformation from a major in the logistics department to a second-level general in the Nationalist Government, and now he has become the most powerful man in China who commands hundreds of thousands of troops. One of the local warlords. Now he is commanding his army to fight back against the Japanese troops entrenched in Fujian and Jiangxi in China. It was during this counterattack that we discovered that the armored division he formed actually used the armored division we still have. The new tank codenamed T34 is being tested!"
"So that's it." Stalin fell silent for a moment. Then he habitually took out his corn pipe and stood in front of his desk and started smoking. For a while, a layer of smoke surrounded him. Hazy smoke.
Seeing this situation, Molotov, Beria and others, who were already familiar with his habits, did not say a word, but stood aside silently and waited.
After a long time, Stalin put down his big pipe. He knocked on the ashtray on the table and then said: "Since our tank drawings have been leaked, and this matter is related to the Chinese, then let our garrison Ambassador to China, Comrade Bogmolov, please go and ask that young general where their tanks come from. Who provided him with tanks with so many trees, and we still want them? Tell them clearly that they must compensate us and give us an explanation, otherwise our great Soviet Red Army will not agree!"
Seeing that the supreme leader had set the tone, those present naturally had no objections. They nodded in agreement and immediately went out. After everyone left, Stalin returned to his chair and looked at the hand in his hand.
The intelligence that had just been submitted murmured: "Interesting, really interesting. I didn't expect that that weak country now actually has a behind-the-scenes force supporting them. But who is it, the United States, Germany or the United Kingdom?
Woolen cloth……"
Just when the Soviet intelligence department was busy leaking secrets about its new tanks, Wu Chengfeng was directing his torrent of tanks to set off from Xingguo County. He launched a fierce attack on Shicheng and Yong'an in Fujian.
Stationed in this generation is the Japanese 61st Division. Facing the attack of the armored division led by Wu Chengfeng, the 61st Division seemed very uncomfortable. Colonel Nomura Mao, captain of the 101st Regiment of the 61st Division stationed in Shicheng, continued to
I sent three telegrams asking for help to the division headquarters, but the only answer I got was "hold your position."
"Your Excellency, Captain, the Chinese chariot is coming."
On the city wall outside Shicheng County, Colonel Nomura was hiding behind a battlement, looking at the tanks rumbling in the distance. His mood was like the surrounding air, shrouded in a layer of gunpowder smoke. Looking at a distant man
A faint dark shadow appeared, and his heart seemed to have sunk to the bottom of the valley.
Taking a deep breath, Colonel Nomura Mao said in a deep voice to Major Matsubara Tsuneo, the squadron leader of the artillery squadron next to him: "Matsuhara-kun, are your artillery squadrons ready? Can you knock down the Chinese tanks?"
Major Tsuneo Matsubara looked at the looming black shadow in the smoke, with a stern look in his eyes: "Don't worry, Captain, I will definitely knock out all the Chinese tanks."
Major Matsubara Tsuneo nodded: "Okay, let's get started. I'm waiting for your good news!"
"Hai!" Major Tsuneo Matsubara nodded and ran to the side.
The city wall of Shicheng is not very wide, about one mile long and more than three meters high. Major Tsuneo Matsubara mounted the squadron's four Type 41 75mm caliber mountain guns on the city wall.
Major Tsuneo Matsubara jogged all the way to his artillery squadron. As he ran, he shouted an order: "Everyone in the artillery squadron, pay attention to the target China tank, measure the distance!"
"Hai!" the gunners around agreed in unison.
Soon, the observer on the side loudly reported: "Report, the local tank is 1,300 meters away, the wind is southeast, the wind speed is level 2, and the visibility is not good."
Major Tsuneo Matsubara said in a deep voice: "Prepare the No. 1 gun, load the armor-piercing projectile, target the tank in front, and prepare to fire!"
"Hai...the target is locked and the armor-piercing projectiles are ready!"
Soon, the sound of preparation came from gun position No. 1.
Major Matsubara Tsuneo shook his hand fiercely and shouted loudly: "Launch!"
"Boom..."
There was a dull sound, and a shell flew forward at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
After a while, the observer on the side reported: "Reporting to your Majesty, Major, the shell has missed."
There was no trace of fluctuation on Tsuneo Matsubara's face, and he said solemnly: "Continue to launch!"
"Hai...boom!"
Another shell flew out of the barrel and flew into the distance...
