This operation involved the entire tank division, and no cost was spared in order to completely obliterate those damned Japanese devils.
Bomb all the equipment factories in the island nation.
Anyway, the tanks have unlimited ammunition, so we can bombard them for days and nights.
Miss Qiu, on the other hand, keeps them. If any country has a problem with them, she'll give them a Miss Qiu bomb. After that, she'll ask them if they still have any objections.
If so, then keep blasting.
The Eighth Army has now rewritten its theory of protracted warfare as a theory of prolonged bombing.
After reading "On Protracted Bombing," every commander felt that this book was more in line with the current tactics of the Eighth Army.
When poor, use tactical flanking maneuvers; when rich, bomb me.
With the support of these Type 59 modified rifles from the young comrades, the Eighth Army is no longer the Eighth Army it used to be; the word "rich" is not enough to describe the current state of the Eighth Army.
The entire Eighth Army is now united in one direction: if you don't submit, we'll bomb you until you submit.
This operation was not just about the Eighth Army preparing to bomb the island nation.
Other tanks were also deployed to various war zones, assigned by brigade commanders, to carry out decapitation strikes against the Japanese forces on Chinese soil.
In this battle, the Eighth Army will cripple these Japanese devils, rendering them incapable of further resistance.
With the departure of the tank division, the entire battlefield of China began to stir with turmoil, and all forces felt a sense of impending doom.
Meanwhile, Chu Yunfei of the 358th Regiment was observing the recent military movements of the Eighth Army and then drawing them on a map.
After marking all the actions of the eight armies, he squinted, thought for a while, and then gasped.
"These eight armies are preparing for a grand spectacle of Nezha's havoc in the sea."
After looking at it for a while, the chief of staff asked with some doubt.
"Commander, forgive my ignorance, but have you discerned any military action by these eight armies?"
Chu Yunfei glanced at him and explained, "On the surface, these eight armies have dispersed their forces across the country, making them look like a disorganized mess, as if they are preparing to break up into smaller units."
"But in my opinion, these eight army units are more like they want to launch a full-scale attack on the Japanese across the country."
"Although their forces were dispersed, they looked more like an encirclement, with the Japanese soldiers in each area being divided into pieces and then prepared to be eaten up."
"ah?"
The chief of staff was somewhat surprised: "Regimental Commander, your statement is too unrealistic."
"Although the Eighth Army has a million soldiers, the outcome of a war is never determined by numbers."
"Although the Eighth Army has a large number of men, they are simply not equipped with enough weapons and ammunition to carry out this policy of spreading out in all directions."
"The Japanese are well-equipped and have ample artillery firepower. If these eight army units go up there, aren't they just courting death?"
"Moreover, Western powers are now preparing to participate in this war. I've heard that the United States is preparing to support the island nation to put pressure on the Eighth Army."
Chu Yunfei glanced at him and shook his head: "Then tell me, why is the United States putting pressure on the Eighth Route Army?"
"Because the Eighth Army has a number of particularly powerful tanks, as well as a type of artillery shell with enormous destructive power, therefore..."
"Wait, Commander, do you mean the Eighth Army plans to use these tank shells to give the Japanese a surprise attack?"
Chu Yunfei looked at the chief of staff seriously and nodded.
"I think the Eighth Army's actions are intended to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese."
"This time, the Eighth Army has no intention of compromising with any of the forces. They seem to have a lot of confidence in those tanks and intend to use the Japanese to show their strength to those forces."
"These eight army units are incredibly audacious!"
The chief of staff was somewhat surprised when he heard Chu Yunfei's deduction.
He never expected that this group of uncivilized people would dare to start another war despite being warned and questioned by various Western powers.
This is a blatant slap in the face to Western powers, showing absolutely no respect for them.
"Commander, should we report these inferences to Commander Yan?"
"Would it be of any use reporting this? Do you think the Eighth Army will even take our Jin-Sui Army seriously these days?"
"What good will it do for Commander Yan to know? Does our Jin-Sui Army even have the capability to participate in this war?"
"You saw the Battle of Cangyunling, didn't you? One shot from that position wiped out the entire Sakata Regiment."
"Our Jin-Sui Army can withstand a few shots from the Eighth Army. Not to mention the Eighth Army, even the Japanese devils are not someone we can afford to mess with."
Chu Yunfei felt somewhat helpless. He had dedicated his entire life to driving out the Japanese invaders, but his own troops were mostly just bullies among themselves.
They fought their own people more often than they fought the Japanese.
This feeling made him feel somewhat frustrated.
The chief of staff thought for a moment, then asked, "Should we report this to the Sichuan-Chongqing authorities so that the principal can be prepared?"
Chu Yunfei thought for a moment and nodded: "Report it. Just say it's our deduction, and let the Sichuan-Chongqing side prepare accordingly."
Unbeknownst to him, the Sichuan-Qingyuan side had already analyzed the Eighth Army's movements.
At this moment, the transport captain was on the phone with his trusted subordinate.
"Junru, the Eighth Route Army is getting stronger and stronger. I plan to go to the coast to avoid their advance for now, and then make a comeback when I have the chance. What do you think?"
"Your Excellency's insight is brilliant!"
"I'm glad Junru understands me. Let's prepare and see if the Eighth Army can defeat the Japanese in one fell swoop this time."
"If we are defeated, we'll hide and see what those Western powers have to say."
"If we don't defeat them, it will probably be a lose-lose situation. Let's seize this opportunity and see if we can take care of the Japanese devils and the Eighth Army at the same time."
After hanging up the phone, the transport battalion commander was still contacting other trusted generals, while the former commander of the Central Army on the other end of the line spoke to the brigade commander beside him.
"Old Chen, we had an agreement. In this counterattack, our Central Army will be at the forefront. I want to avenge my brothers in the Central Army."
"As long as I can fight the Japanese devils, I don't care about the Eighth Route Army or the National Revolutionary Army. I am Chinese, and Chinese people are born to fight the Japanese devils."
The brigade commander looked at the man in front of him, known as the Tiger General of China, and smiled.
“Alright, as long as Commander Wei is willing to help us persuade the Central Army, we can agree to any request.”
"Haha, no problem. Although I've been transferred, the Central Army was trained by me. As long as it can fight the Japanese devils, they'll definitely be willing."
This kind of thing is happening in many places in Guo Jun's territory.
Based on what Li Chang'an said, the leaders of the Eighth Army were frantically poaching members from within the Nationalist Army.
After witnessing the tank's amazing capabilities, the KMT generals generally agreed to cooperate in this joint operation.
If the Eighth Army's tanks could really take down the Japanese, they wouldn't mind cooperating once.
After all, fighting the Japanese invaders is more important to the Chinese people than eating.
