Lin Zheng's massive mobilization of grain was being closely watched by those with ulterior motives.
This grain mobilization involved several aspects, including the total grain production.
This terrifying mobilization of grain spread like a hurricane!
Several warlords from the Republic of China had already taken notice, such as Li and Bai, Yan Laoxi, and Liu Xiang. Their first reaction was shock, and their second was fear, as this was beyond anything they could imagine...
……
The Shandong region covers an area of approximately 150,000 square kilometers.
After resolving the great famine, the main forces of the Red Alert Corps gradually moved north, with three army groups, about 360,000 men, arriving first.
The Red Alert Corps' special train engines were now capable of transporting heavy tanks via railroads.
Over a thousand tanks were concentrated... of course, most of them were Grizzly tanks, as their appropriate weight allowed them to traverse various terrains without getting stuck in the mud.
Meanwhile, the tank destroyers, based on the German series of tank destroyers, were essentially self-propelled anti-tank guns equipped with 120mm main guns.
The Japanese 21st and 32nd Divisions, under Commander Tanaka Hisashi, were left utterly bewildered!
Tanaka Hisashi had been competent as the chief of staff of the army group, but now he had only two divisions and a large number of regiments totaling no more than 100,000 men.
Tanaka Hisashi's head was pounding, "Monsters, monsters! What kind of monsters has the Empire of Fusang provoked?!"
"Those fools in the imperial cabinet have no idea,"
"They only look at the paper figures but do not participate in the actual battlefield,"
"I won't even mention the terrifying number of tanks; their combat tactics are top-notch!"
Tanaka Hisashi, now nearly 50 years old, had never imagined witnessing a torrent of steel on the backward land of China, from the First Sino-Japanese War to the War of Resistance!
Tanaka Hisashi truly experienced the iron torrent of Red Alert.
Over 1,000 Red Alert tanks and countless armored vehicles!
Boom boom boom.
Of course, the Japanese also had armored divisions, but their Type 95 tanks were like little toys compared to the others; the comparison was like that of playthings.
The gap was too vast!
Even the strongest Fusang tank operators would have their morale shattered, as the slaughter ratio was even as high as one to dozens.
With incredible morale, the Japanese soldiers charged towards the tanks with explosives, shouting "Long live!" but could not stop the tanks from crushing everything.
Boom boom boom...
Da da da...
Major General Tanaka Hisashi saw the scene he dreaded most, where several Fusang warriors with explosives failed to destroy the Red Alert heavy tanks. Most of them fell to the tanks' machine guns, and even the 37mm anti-tank guns couldn't penetrate the tanks.
"This is bullying Japan! Our warriors can't hold them back..."
"This is the shame of the Empire of Fusang!"
"Have you taken any photos?!"
"The photos must be sent back to headquarters so those fools can see; we must accelerate the development of tanks!"
Tanaka Hisashi cursed and swore, as the Empire of Fusang had a tradition of looking down on their superiors and did not respect them much.
……
The combat effectiveness of the Japanese was quite high, engaging in frenzied counterattacks and suicidal assaults.
It was precisely because of this that the great battle dragged on for nearly a month.
The Red Alert Air Force was not deployed in large numbers, but the strength of the ground forces gradually increased.
They could be called an iron-blooded legion, fighting bravely and deeply shocking a series of forces.
A month later, in the streets of Jinan, hundreds of Grizzly tanks rolled over the streets, leaving behind tracks, their imposing bodies and robust 105mm main guns...
Little Soldier Zhang Ga, a character from film and television, was also a microcosm of the countless individuals in the War of Resistance. Although only 15 years old, he had already devoted himself to the anti-Japanese cause.
Little Soldier Zhang Ga knew little else, but he knew that the once invincible Fusang Japanese army had been annihilated, and the devils who brought great suffering to the people had lost!
The devils lost!
The devils lost!
The devils lost!
Little Soldier Zhang Ga was filled with excitement and passion; standing before him was... the nemesis of the devils, the Red Alert Corps, the Red Alert Armored Group Army,
……
In the mountain city, at the Chairman's residence.
Chang Guangtou sat in a chair like a statue.
Chang Kaishen no longer knew what to do.
Chang Guangtou could only feel a deep sense of frustration, as Lin Zheng showed him no respect!
Deploying over 1,000 tanks and armored vehicles from a tank army... was this bullying the Fusang devils?
Not just that!
Not just that!
This was also a warning from Lin Zheng, a bullying of Chang Guangtou, implying that Chang Guangtou was nothing, and Lin Zheng could easily suppress any dissent!!
Amidst his anger, Chang Guangtou felt a twinge of envy.
If he had such a number of tanks, would the Empire of Fusang still dare to bully him? The Empire of Fusang would never dare to invade him!
