Chapter 621: Dark Clouds Overcome
"Since we can't break up with the Japanese, do we have any other choice?"
Hull shrugged and said, "If God wants to destroy it, he must first make it crazy. Since the ambition of the Japanese cannot stop it, let us add more fire to him and let them get the fire sooner!"
"Well said, let the Japanese try this hard nail. I am also looking forward to how powerful the mysterious and powerful Chinese Tiger Army in Stilwell's eyes is, and whether it can withstand the Japanese's long-planned attack!"
Roosevelt seemed extremely relaxed about this, and he had even long been looking forward to this good show, hoping that the Chinese Tiger Army could show its power again and seriously weaken the strength of the Japanese.
As for whether the Chinese Tiger Army will lose or win in the end, how many people will die in this battle, that is not something Roosevelt is concerned about.
After a pause, Roosevelt smiled and said, "Since even the Japanese know how to engage in diplomatic offensives, our United States of America cannot be inferior to the Japanese!
This information needs to be immediately fed back to the Chinese, so that they can prepare for war. Although the United States of America cannot stop the war, as peace-loving we will always stand on the side of China!”
"What? Are you saying that the Japanese devils will soon attack the Shandong Peninsula with all their might? Haha, these devils can't help it after all!"
Meng Wuan soon received a call from Stilwell, and was startled and calmed down quickly. The news was expected, and it came much later than expected.
Knowing the seriousness, Stilwell could not calm down at all and said with great concern: "This time is absolutely extraordinary. The Japanese have made up their minds to annihilate the Chinese Tiger Army. Don't be careless!"
"Don't worry, the Japanese have been trying to destroy me for a long time! The chief and the brothers of the Chinese Tiger Army have been fully prepared. If the Japanese don't go, they will be fine. As long as they dare to go, they will definitely be bleeding and covered in blood!"
Meng Wuan's tone was still calm. Even though he was not calm, he knew that even if he held on, he would have to pay a huge price for casualties. But how could a hero be short of breath at this time?
I really don’t know where Meng Wuan’s confidence came from, so I was not nervous at all. Stilwell really didn’t know what to say, so I could only bless him:
"Well, my friend, I wish you a victory and a heavy price for the cruel and unkind Japanese!"
"Thank you, my friend! The message you sent is very important and helpful to us. I have other important things now, so I'll invite you to come and have a drink someday!"
Meng Wuan was in the mood to continue chatting. After sending a good person card, he hung up the phone and quickly instructed Shi Weifu to send an emergency telegram to his home.
In fact, there is no need for Meng Wuan to send a telegram in a hurry. At this time, news that the Japanese devils were going to launch a large-scale attack had spread because there were really many Americans in the Qingdao Industrial Park.
As soon as the United States received a formal diplomatic note from Japan, Roosevelt passed the news to the American company that had business dealings and cooperative relations with Yang Fan, so that the American personnel on the Shandong Peninsula and who were heading to the Shandong Peninsula would withdraw from the dangerous war zone in time.
"These Japanese are getting more and more adept at playing, and they even have to send a notice before the war?"
Yang Fan was very calm after receiving the news. Even if the Japanese didn't come, he had to go out to find something.
Not only did the veterans trained their tendons, but they had endless strength and strong military skills, and they were ready to fight with the Japanese.
The more than 100,000 newly trained reserve recruits are also hoping that the troops will continue to expand, quickly fight and make military achievements, and then be promoted and raised to become the real Chinese Tiger Army!
Although he had already made preparations, mobilization work before the war was indispensable. Yang Fan immediately asked Liao Youtian to call the headquarters and convened an emergency meeting for officers at the brigade level or above.
At the same time, the Third Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Detachment stationed in Zouping County and Changshan County also received news that Ma Yaonan held an emergency military meeting as soon as possible.
After everyone arrived, Ma Yaonan said in a heavy tone: "The Japanese devils have been preparing for more than a year. In addition to the 12th Army stationed in Shandong, the devils also mobilized the forces of two armies, and it is estimated that the Japanese combat troops will be 300,000."
Yang Guofu focused on it and said: "Yes, the Japanese were determined to kill themselves after eating the weight this time! An unprecedented bloody battle is inevitable! Especially since our third detachment is at the forefront, we will definitely be the first to bear the brunt of it."
Ma Xiaoyun's hot temper was still the same, and immediately said loudly: "What are you afraid of? We are now strong and strong, and we are no longer the same as before. We have built a large number of permanent fortifications. If the Japanese want to break through our defense zone, they have to fill it with their lives!"
Ma Xiaoyun did not boast about himself. Since capturing Changshan County, the third detachment ushered in a period of rapid development. Not only has the total force expanded by more than 10,000, but it has also been replaced with a large number of new weapons and heavy firepower. There are even more than ten tanks and tanks.
Compared to the past when fighting guerrillas in the mountains, the third detachment is many times stronger, especially with strong fortifications as a support, its combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.
Ye Gengxin chuckled: "Captain Ma, the Japanese are not small this time. They will definitely be equipped with a large number of heavy siege artillery, and there will be a powerful air force to bomb. Although we are different from the past, we must be fully prepared.
In particular, we must beware of large-scale bombing by the Japanese, so I think we still have to ask for help from friendly brothers, at least we must not bombard the Japanese unscrupulously.”
"Yes, this is the one I worry about the most!"
Ma Yaonan nodded and then said, "We have no air supremacy at all. The Japanese will definitely take action against us first and use us as a breakthrough.
So no matter from which perspective, we have to join forces to keep warm. I also believe that Commander Yang will not stand idly by.
At the same time, in order to prevent accidents, we have to transfer and resettle the people. The Japanese are all a group of inhuman beasts, so they will not take into account the casualties of civilians!"
"What Commander Ma said is that we need to mobilize as soon as possible and first move most of the people to the rear. At the same time, we need to contact the Hu Ben Army and conduct joint defense.
This time, the Japanese were not good at visiting them. Since they dared to attack the Hu Ben Army, it means that things are not that simple.
And we are in front of us, and the terrain is in a plain area, which is the weakest link in the entire defense system. The Japanese will definitely open a gap from us!"
Huo Shilian nodded and emphasized in a very solemn tone:
"I have a foreshadowing that this battle will be extremely tragic. If we win, we will be able to gain a foothold. If we lose, we will have to fight guerrilla warfare like before!
