Provide warships.

In the past, if a small colonel told him that he could provide him with warships, Colonel William’s first reaction would be, “Are you kidding me?”
But if the person in front of him was Lu Yuhua, he could only remain silent for a while and think about whether it was true.

It is understandable that they were able to get the Type 3 tank.

As long as you are brave enough and bribe some people, it is not difficult to get it.

But the Type 4 tank was kept absolutely confidential.

There is also a Soviet tank named T-34.

This is enough to prove that there is a lot of power behind this guy.

Regardless of whether the other party transported it from the "place of origin" or assembled it "on-site", it shows that it is not something that ordinary forces can do.

At least the other side has their own people among their senior officers, and they also need the cooperation of middle and lower-level officers.

More importantly, no news has been leaked for such a long time.

Now they can take out warships, what kind of force is the other party?
Finally, Colonel William couldn't help asking.

"Lu, who are you, or who is behind you?"

Hearing this, Lu Yuhua was not surprised that the other party would have such an idea. If it were him, he would definitely blindly guess the power behind the other party.

"Is it important?" Lu Yuhua asked back.

"Of course, cooperation also requires an assessment of strength. If your strength is strong enough, our cooperation will be smoother." Colonel William shrugged.

"That makes sense." Lu Yuhua nodded and glanced at the compass and square on the table. Originally, these were tools used for map work and marking the enemy and friendly situations. Lu Yuhua fiddled with them casually, with the compass pointing downwards and the square pointing upwards.

When Colonel William saw this pattern, his pupils suddenly shrank. He was very familiar with this logo.

I didn't expect to see this sign here, it's really surprising.

Originally, Lu Yuhua hadn't figured out what identity he should give himself.

After all, these days, when you go out, your identity is something you give yourself.

If all else fails, you can borrow someone else's identity.

"So that's it..." Colonel William murmured. If that was the case, many things could be explained.

Because the other party is indeed spread across various European countries, the most famous representative is Napoleon's brother Joseph Bonaparte, who is also the chief mentor of Freemasonry in the entire First French Empire.

Considering the other party's influence, Colonel William remained silent for a long time and changed his expression.

"what do you want."

"There are many things I want, but can you make the decision?" Lu Yuhua chuckled.

"Colonel William, I suggest you ask for instructions first."

There was also the problem that building a shipyard required being close to the sea.

Nanning hasn’t been taken yet, so it’s a bit far-fetched to talk about those things.

Let’s take over Nanning completely first.

Colonel William also felt that his proposal was a serious matter and it was not something that a small colonel like him could decide.

Fortunately, they have already captured Nanning, so there is no need for him to be in charge.

"I need a high-power radio." Colonel William Shen said.

"No problem, it's already been prepared for you." Lu Yuhua chuckled.

After Colonel William and others left, Lu Yuhua picked up the phone and called the Fourth War Zone Command.

"Commander Zhang, help me." As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhang Fakui on the opposite side was stunned.

Could it be that the Shitang position was lost?

So fast?
It!
It’s not that fast. We have been holding on for so many days, it’s normal to get lost.

Anyway, he had no plan to recapture Nanning immediately. After all, the Japanese army was not so easy to deal with.

"What's wrong? What happened? Is the Japanese army counterattacking? You can retreat to the Wutang position first." Zhang Fakui advised.

"No, Commander Zhang, our troops have already entered Nanning City, and now we urgently need reinforcements to expand our victory." Lu Yuhua said in a hurried tone and with an excited look on his face.

"What? Say it again?" Zhang Fakui thought he was hallucinating and raised his voice in disbelief.

Other people in the headquarters were also startled. Could something have happened again?
The Japanese army launched a counterattack?
"I said, my troops have already entered Nanning City, and are now engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese troops in the city. We urgently need reinforcements." Lu Yuhua could understand his thoughts. After all, they had just captured the Shitang position not long ago, and it was really incredible that they were entering the city now.

"Really?" Zhang Fakui asked again.

"Yes, Commander Zhang, our troops need reinforcements. The Japanese army is fighting desperately. Whether we can win the battle depends on whether the reinforcements can arrive in time." Lu Yuhua urged.

Hearing this, Zhang Fakui felt like he could hardly stand, he was so excited.

He didn't expect Lu Yuhua to give him such a big surprise.

Capturing the city of Nanning was a truly great military achievement.

"Let your troops hold on. I will send reinforcements immediately. Within one day, no, within half a day, all the troops resting outside Nanning will rush to your position." Zhang Fakui took a deep breath and was about to hang up the phone when he heard Lu Yuhua shouting hurriedly.

"Sir, there's no need to gather here. Tell them to attack the city directly and share the pressure from my unit."

"No problem, hold on, all the reinforcements will arrive in a day at most." After saying that, Zhang Fakui hung up the phone.

The first call was made directly to the 36th Army.

In fact, the 36th Army had already received an order to cooperate in the attack on Nanning City. Now receiving a call from Zhang Fakui, Yao Chun hurriedly stated that he would do his best to defend the current line of defense at all costs.

"This 714th Garrison Regiment is quite good." After Yao Chun hung up the phone, a hint of joy appeared on his face.

Just now, Zhang Fakui said that if the 5th Army could make great achievements in this battle, he would personally write a report to Shancheng, requesting the restoration of the two-division system of the th Army. In other words, there is a great hope that the number of the disbanded th Division can be taken back.

And the credit for all this goes to the 714th Garrison Regiment. Originally, Yao Chun was somewhat reluctant when they received Lu Yuhua's call. After all, it was too embarrassing for him, a lieutenant general, to obey the orders of a colonel.

But Lu Yuhua made him agree obediently with just one sentence.

Doesn’t Commander Yao want to restore the designation of the Fifth Division?
If this one sentence isn't enough.

Our troops will capture Nanning City soon. Doesn't Commander Yao want to share some of the credit?

He didn't believe it at first, but with the attitude of giving it a try, he took over the position in the north of Shitang to prevent a sneak attack by the Japanese army at Gaofengai.

As a result, instead of waiting for the Japanese army to launch a surprise attack, we received news that Lu Yuhua would immediately lead his troops to attack Nanning.

Before he could come to his senses, he received an order from Zhang Fakui and immediately cooperated with the 714th Garrison Regiment to completely eliminate the Japanese troops in the city.

This time he completely believed that what Lu Yuhua said was true.

After leaving behind some soldiers, Yao Chun personally led the elite troops of the 36th Army and rushed towards Nanning City at full speed.

In fact, more than just the 36th Army received the telegram.

Even the 76th Division that was resting in Gantang, the 49th Division, and Fu Zhongfang, commander of the 99th Army that had just entered Wuming, received orders to rush to the rescue of Nanning City.

Regardless of the cost, they arrived at Nanning City on the same day and cooperated with the 714th Garrison Regiment to capture Nanning City.

The moment they received the telegram, Wang Lingyun, Li Jingyi and Fu Zhongfang were all in a daze.

So they invaded Nanning City?

Are you kidding me?
However, there was Zhang Fakui's signature on the telegram, so they knew it must not be fake, so they had to gather their elite troops and rush to Nanning City.

At this time, in the city of Nanning, the three infantry battalions that had entered the city used machine gun and mortar firepower to continuously compress the Japanese defense line.

Minquan Road, a street that has become a ruin, is filled with thick smoke and explosions can be heard from time to time.

At the same time, the sound of machine gun fire continued.

At the corner of the street, soldiers from the first row of the fourth company of the second battalion of the 714th Garrison Regiment were crouching and cautiously poking their heads out.

As a result, as soon as he stuck his head out, he was hit by a series of bullets and pulled back.

"It was a close call, I almost got shot in the head." The soldier had a look of fear on his face. If he had retreated a little slower, he would have been dead.

"How is it? Did you see it clearly?" the second lieutenant asked hurriedly.

"A machine gun position with strong firepower." The mobilized soldier replied quickly.

"There is a machine gun position here. The Japanese are indeed very smart. Street fighting is not in our favor. The Japanese are obviously delaying time. We can't go on like this." The second lieutenant nodded, then took out a military map, took a look at it and said.

"Our mission is to occupy the commanding heights of this street and provide reconnaissance and fire cover for follow-up troops."

"But it's definitely not possible to just rush over like this. We have to suppress their machine gun positions first, and then go around from this side." The second lieutenant said while pointing to the map.

After saying that, he glanced at the squad leader behind him, tapping the air with his fingers. After thinking for a while, he said, "Squad leader, get your machine gun team to the rooftop to attract the enemy's firepower."

"Sniper, go to the opposite building and set up a firing point. Don't let them show their heads. Try to blow them up for me. Everyone else, follow me."

Two snipers crouched with their 98K sniper rifles equipped with four-fold scopes and walked along the ruins to a small building.

Looking at the dilapidated appearance, one can barely tell that the original decoration here should have been quite luxurious.

Unfortunately, at this time, it had been reduced to ruins like other buildings and was shaking.

If the wind is stronger, it might be blown down.

Two snipers carefully climbed to the roof, looking for suitable cover.

After finding a suitable position, through the sniper scope, one can see the Japanese machine gunners on the far building, firing from time to time. Occasionally, one can see figures walking back and forth, but due to the angle, one cannot directly shoot at the machine gunners inside through the shooting holes of the bunker, and the distance is too far.

It would be impossible to suppress the firepower of the Japanese machine gunners in a short period of time.

"The arrangement of this position is indeed tricky. It is very difficult to eliminate the opponent's machine gunner." said the sniper.

"What should we do then?" asked the observer nearby.

"Pay attention to the surroundings first to see if there are any Japanese troops. I will find a way." The sniper thought for a while and gave the order.

"Yes."

The observer who received the order lay on the ruins and began to observe the surroundings with a telescope. Thirty seconds later, he said, "At seven o'clock, eighty meters away, there are two Japanese infantrymen!"

The sniper immediately turned the muzzle of his gun slightly, and through the scope he could clearly see a ruin a hundred meters away. Two Japanese soldiers were crouching, as if they were trying to make a detour.

"The wind is heading northwest, speed level three." The observer pinched a handful of soil and gently threw it around, reporting quickly.

"Got it." The sniper immediately put the sniper scope on the two Japanese soldiers and began to adjust his breathing rhythm.

At this time, the two Japanese soldiers did not realize that danger was about to come.

boom!
The timing is just right!
The sniper pulled the trigger decisively, and there was a crisp gunshot.

The Japanese soldier on the left fell to the ground, his left rib pierced by a bullet, and blood quickly dyed his clothes red.

"Save me." The fallen Japanese soldier wailed in pain.

The Japanese soldiers next to them were a little confused.

what happened?

Wasn't it fine just now?

How come he got shot suddenly?

Without waiting for him to come back to his senses.

I suddenly felt pain in my thigh, and then I heard gunshots.

Another Japanese soldier was hit in the thigh and fell to the ground.

Then he let out a painful wail.

At this time, the observer who had been in charge of observation also opened fire.

boom!
The Japanese soldier who had been struggling on the ground was shot again, struggled twice, and then stopped moving.

Obviously he can't survive.

Another Japanese soldier saw this and immediately realized that there was a sharpshooter and wanted to find cover.

boom!
The bullet hit his head accurately.

The two men cooperated with each other and killed two Japanese soldiers in just ten seconds.

"Damn, there's a sharpshooter." The death of two Japanese soldiers made the sniper, who was shooting frantically, suddenly panic. He no longer dared to fire as arrogantly and recklessly as before. He could only stop firing and choose to hide.

This kind of combat mode was played out throughout the city of Nanning.

The Japanese army made it clear that they wanted to engage in street fighting with the 714th Garrison Regiment, so Lu Yuhua naturally did not back down.

His troops clearly had the upper hand in street fighting, especially with machine guns and submachine guns, which gave them an absolute advantage in close-range combat.

Not to mention that each squad is equipped with a group of snipers, and the results are even more impressive.

For snipers, jungles and street fighting are their favorite battlefields, where they feel like fish in water.

As long as they find a commanding height, the sniper and the observer can cooperate with each other and definitely become the king on the battlefield.

The Japanese army paused their firepower here, and the squad leader on the other side led the machine gun group to find a good position and then set up the MG34 machine gun.

"Open fire." A squad leader looked at the machine gun set up and immediately gave the order to open fire.

Click, click, click!

The sound of the cloth-tearing machine rang out again, and a long dragon rushed towards the Japanese position.

It immediately attracted the attention of the Japanese machine gunners, and bullets began to fly over.

For a while, the two sides fought back and forth, but it was obvious that the MG34 general-purpose machine gun had stronger firepower.

Before long, the Japanese machine gunner was beaten so hard that he couldn't even raise his head.

"Machine gun suppression, the platoon leader and his men are advancing forward." The squad leader said to the machine gunner, while also helping the loader to load bullets.

While the squad leader's machine gun group was attracting fire, the second lieutenant platoon leader had already crouched with the remaining dozen soldiers, crossed a low wall, passed through two ruins and arrived in front of the Japanese position.

From their perspective, they could clearly see the Japanese soldiers walking back and forth upstairs.

You could even hear the cries of someone being shot.

The 7.92mm bullet hit the arm and broke it directly.

Not to mention, the dense firepower of the MG34 general-purpose machine gun made the Japanese army unable to raise their heads.

Curses and wailing alternated back and forth.

"Baga grenade launcher, grenade launcher, destroy the enemy's machine gun position." The Japanese sergeant roared angrily.

"It's upstairs." The lieutenant downstairs made a gesture and whispered, "Get ready."

The soldiers behind him had about six MP38 submachine guns and the rest had K98 rifles, but their waists were full of grenades.

"Throw grenades first, then shoot when you see people. Remember, don't leave anyone alive." The second lieutenant gave the order quickly.

Five grenades were thrown at the Japanese machine gun positions one after another.

"Baga, grenade." A Japanese soldier roared with his eyes wide open after seeing this.

"Boom!" followed by a burst of explosions.

The Japanese soldier who survived by chance shook his head, trying to wake himself up as soon as possible, but the dizziness in his head would not go away.

Then there was a burst of intensive gunfire.

Da da da!
"Charge!" The second lieutenant downstairs rushed up the stairs with an MP38 submachine gun, followed closely by several soldiers behind him.

The intense running made everyone sweat, and the water bottles around their waists kept hitting their bodies.

"Da da da!" The second lieutenant rushed into the house and started firing without caring whether he saw the enemy or not.

The soldiers who followed behind also pulled the trigger frantically.

Don't stop shooting until the magazine is empty.

The house was in a mess and blood was everywhere. The remaining Japanese soldiers were already dead and could not die anymore.

"Is anyone injured?" the lieutenant asked after looking around.

"No."

"No."

"No."

Hearing this, the second lieutenant couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Taking down this machine gun position meant that the next offensive would be much smoother.

"Drink some water first, replenish your strength, and continue moving forward." After the lieutenant finished speaking, he picked up the kettle, took a big gulp, and then sat down.

He was already used to the smell of blood in the air. He took out the nutrient solution from his waist and took a big gulp.

On the other side, Colonel William sent a very long telegram to the German Embassy in Japan via a high-power radio.

"What? New tanks? Mysterious forces? What on earth is going on?"

"A tank with vastly superior performance, superior to our Panzer IV?"

"170mm cannon? 240mm heavy artillery?"

Eugen Ott found the telegram truly shocking.

He just asked the other party to investigate whether these German equipment were real.

result?

The results of the investigation were even more horrifying than he had expected.

An ancient and mysterious power?
He knew a little about Freemasonry, but he didn't expect it to appear here.

And there are a large number of weapons and equipment. What does the other party want to do?
After reading the entire telegram, Owen Ott fell into deep thought. Did he know how big a sensation this telegram would cause once it was sent back to his homeland?

More importantly, it will affect the subsequent alliance with the Japanese army.

But as William recounted, the significance of this tank is really huge.

Not to mention, Lu Yuhua also used the 406mm naval gun as bait and took the initiative to provide warships.

All of this is tempting them.

Even though I knew it was a rose with thorns, I couldn't help but want to take action.
