Dragon Nation.
Southwest region... Mountain City
The sun shone brightly over Mountain City today.
In the residence of the chairman of Mountain City, Chiang Kai-shek was feeling particularly excited.
In a good mood, Chiang Kai-shek read the newspaper.
“The Japanese Imperial Army, with the conquest of Asia and the Pacific as its national policy! They have slaughtered tens of millions in East Asia and millions in Southeast Asia. The ambitions of the Japanese invasion are utterly unconscionable!!”
“The crimes of the Japanese Imperial Army are countless. With the determination of hundreds of millions of people, the Red Alert officially declares all-out war against Japan!!,”
Chiang Kai-shek blurted out uncontrollably, “Officially declaring war on Japan!”
A fiery passion ignited within his heart!
The anti-Japanese camp now had many more countries!
The war against Japan would surely be won in the end!
As Chiang Kai-shek was feeling excited, He Jingzhi strode in.
“Chairman, the anti-Japanese supplies have arrived at the airport.”
Chiang Kai-shek immediately took Madam Song and senior KMT officers to the Mountain City airport.
Chiang Kai-shek watched as one peacekeeping bomber after another landed on the six runways.
The peacekeeping bombers weighed 30 tons and were painted gray to conceal their high-tech appearance.
Each peacekeeping bomber carried 7-10 tons of supplies.
Chiang Kai-shek looked at the supply list in his hand.
“98k rifles, 30,000; MG42 machine guns, 300; 88mm anti-aircraft guns, 100; 105mm heavy artillery, 30; Australian-made German Panzer IV tanks, 30!”
“Two million rounds of ammunition, one hundred thousand shells, one hundred tons of gasoline, three hundred tons of rice, corn, wheat, and flour, one hundred tons of Australian dairy products.”
Chiang Kai-shek calculated in his mind, this was a massive amount of weaponry.
The dairy and grain products would also alleviate the food shortage in the areas under their control.
Madam Song Meiling, upon seeing the supply list, also lit up. “Darling...”
Chiang Kai-shek coldly reminded her, “Damn it! The anti-Japanese supplies are primarily for the war against Japan! I won't allow you to embezzle and sell them off!”
Chiang Kai-shek and the KMT officers excitedly unloaded this batch of supplies, close to a thousand tons.
Upon receiving the thousand tons of anti-Japanese supplies, Chiang Kai-shek immediately reorganized three German-equipped divisions.
Chiang Kai-shek's reorganization of three German-equipped divisions was to make up for the three German-equipped divisions lost in the Battle of Shanghai, the 87th, 88th, and 36th divisions, which were his core forces. The designations of the 87th, 88th, and 36th divisions were inherited.
...
Changsha, a strategically vital location in the war against Japan, saw three major battles, defined as battles between the main forces of two countries.
On the KMT's defensive line in Changsha, one hundred 105mm heavy artillery guns and 88mm anti-aircraft guns were deployed.
“Ready—! Fire!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Japanese 40th Division, with seven infantry battalions and three mountain artillery battalions, totaling over 11,000 men!
The Japanese 40th Division was a third-class division, a constant threat to Changsha, and they had slaughtered innocent civilians!
The Japanese 40th Division was caught in a devastating artillery barrage, shells raining down on them relentlessly!
The Japanese soldiers were stunned, mouths agape, wondering if they were dreaming!
When did the KMT have 105mm heavy artillery?
One shell exploded, killing a whole group of Japanese soldiers!
Immediately after, the soldiers of the 40th Division, still in disbelief, saw a steel torrent of Panzer IV tank formations on the horizon.
The Panzer IV was the main battle tank of the German Army, the successor to the Tiger tank. The Panzer IV weighed 25 tons and was equipped with a 75mm main gun.
The three KMT divisions, armed with German helmets, 98k rifles, and MG42 machine guns, launched a coordinated infantry-tank offensive.
Soon, the three KMT divisions broke into the 40th Division's defenses, unstoppable in their advance.
The Japanese 40th Division, caught off guard, was completely wiped out with 11,000 men killed, and the division commander committed seppuku.
...
Mountain City Presidential Mansion, office.
Chiang Kai-shek contemplated the war's command.
Chiang Kai-shek's command was also known as micro-operations, commonly called micro-control.
As Chiang Kai-shek was deep in thought, He Jingzhi came in quickly.
“Chairman!! Great news from the battlefield!”
“The Japanese 40th Division, over 10,000 Japanese troops, have been completely annihilated near Changsha!”
“The 6th and 3rd Divisions that came to rescue the 40th Division have been blocked at the Yangtze River!”
“The 6th Kumamoto Division and the 3rd Nagoya Division have been concentrated at the edge of the Yangtze River by the 105mm heavy artillery and 88mm anti-aircraft guns!”
Chiang Kai-shek's eyes widened in shock!!
Damn it!
Damn it!
The KMT had wiped out a whole Japanese division?
And they were suppressing two Japanese divisions at the river's edge with artillery fire?
Chiang Kai-shek was astonished. Lin Zheng's heavy firepower was so powerful?
He Jingzhi was also thrilled. He had many thoughts in his mind. The Chairman was right to encourage Lin Zheng to join the WWII season!!
