Chapter 1948, Madness Will Surely Bring Rain
"What water supply unit?"

"That's right, that's the water supply unit. That's..."

"Made..."

Zhang Yong reached out and strangled the other person to death.

Even facing certain death, he's still stubborn. Trying to fool me. Does he think I'm an idiot?

What water supply unit...?

and many more!

Water supply unit?

731?

It happened instantly in my mind.

Even within the Japanese army, the details of Unit 731 were kept secret.

After all, this is an inhumane experiment. It certainly can't be revealed to the outside world.

Therefore, some common names must be used.

The water supply unit was just a cover-up.

They used the guise of epidemic prevention and water supply to secretly spread the virus.

It was used before in Nomonhan, but the effect was not ideal. It backfired.

He looked down at the Japanese invader.

That's it. He's already dead.

He was too strong. He snapped the other person's neck.

But it doesn't matter. There are other Japanese invaders.

They released their grip. Then they dragged out another Japanese soldier and grabbed him by the neck.

"The water supply unit's designation."

"Seven, seven three one, seven, seven..."

Zhang Yong's eyes darkened.

Indeed it is!

The fox finally showed its tail.

Unexpectedly, traces of Unit 731 were found in faraway Anqing.

These Japanese invaders were also very cunning; they actually traveled all the way to South China to find test subjects, instead of looking locally.

Fortunately, Cao Yiqi and the others were saved by him. Otherwise…

However, only this group was saved. The others might…

"The specific location of the water supply unit."

"I have no idea……"

"I'll ask again, where is the water supply unit stationed..."

"I...I really don't know. We were responsible for handing people over to the Kwantung Army Military Police Headquarters..."

"Go to hell!"

Zhang Yong used all his strength to strangle his opponent.

These vicious invaders committed countless crimes. They are unforgivable.

let go.

Another Japanese soldier was captured.

Inquire about the specific location of Unit 731, the water supply unit.

He desperately wanted to know.

As long as the exact address is known, P-108 bombers can be dispatched to bomb it.

However, no Japanese invaders knew this.

Their response was always to hand the person over to the Kwantung Army Military Police Headquarters.

It seems that the 731 water supply unit maintained very secretive communication with the outside world. Few people within the Japanese army knew about it.

Annoyed.

Several traitors were arrested and questioned.

As a result, they didn't know either.

Then it's worthless.

"Shoot them all!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Yong waved his hand.

Nationalist soldiers immediately came up and took the man away.

"boom!"

A commotion erupted. They were all killed.

Actually, they got off easy. They didn't suffer much.

Zhang Yong was, after all, a human being, not a beast.

"A communications soldier!"

"To!"

"Sending a message on 95.27 MHz frequency, in plain text, saying that I am waiting for you all in Anqing for three days, welcome to battle. If you have the guts, bring it on. Signed Zhang Yong."

"Yes."

The communications officer immediately drafted a telegram.

He was a staff officer in the 31st Army. He had never done anything like this before.

After drafting the telegram, he felt something was off. He handed it to Zhang Yong for review. Zhang Yong nodded, indicating his approval.

"Send it out immediately."

"Yes."

"Send it every ten minutes. Send it five times."

"Yes."

The communications officer turned and left.

Zhang Yong stretched and yawned. He then approached the Nationalist soldiers who had been rescued.

It seems the previous defeat was quite serious. So many people were captured by the Japanese invaders. But to this day, no one has taken responsibility.

Chen Cheng disappeared again quietly. The bald man also seemed completely silent.

The grand counterattack that was supposed to have happened seemed to have never existed at all.

Only these unfortunate Nationalist soldiers in front of us.

They were killed by those idiots at the top.

No matter how valiantly they fought, with a bunch of incompetent commanders, the final result was always defeat.

"Cao Yiqi!"

"To!"

"From now on, you'll stay by my side and be my adjutant."

"what?"

Cao Yiqi was completely stunned.

adjutant?

Commissioner?
This position seems very high and prestigious.

After all, the representative is the Commissioner! How could I possibly be competent for this role?

"What? Don't want to?"

"Yes! Yes! I'm willing!"

Cao Yiqi quickly changed his tune.

Although he was very confused, he wasn't stupid.

The commissioner has already spoken, how could he possibly refuse?

Flattered.

Zhang Yong took out a Browning M1903 pistol from his personal storage space.

There were still some old bloodstains on it. It hadn't been wiped clean.

This is Cao Mengqi's sidearm. He's still using it.

When he died, the gun was still at his waist, soaked in blood.

Now, the work has been handed over to his younger brother, ensuring that the mantle of his successor is carried on.

Of course, the news of the death will not be told to the other party for the time being.

Cao Yiqi is not strong enough.

He's still a bit naive.

When he sheds his naivety and becomes more experienced, perhaps he will be able to uncover the truth himself.

"This is your sidearm."

"Thank you, sir!"

"Focus on your work."

"Yes!"

Cao Yiqi took the pistol.

There are also holsters, bullets, magazines, etc.

Actually, he felt more comfortable carrying the Mauser pistol.

However, since the commissioner wanted him to use the foreigner's pistol, he naturally accepted the order.

"And you..."

Zhang Yong looked at the other four hundred or so Kuomintang prisoners of war.

After being given food and water, they seemed to have regained some of their energy.

"You have two choices."

"One of them is the one who follows me."

"One is going back..."

"We are willing to follow the Commissioner!"

Before Zhang Yong could finish speaking, all the Nationalist soldiers had already started shouting.

Is there even a need to choose?
Of course, I'll follow the Commissioner! I'll follow him to the death.

Following the Commissioner will lead to victory!

Following the Commissioner, all we'll get is to kill the Japanese invaders.

With the Commissioner present, the Japanese invaders will never be a match for the National Revolutionary Army.

However, if the commissioner isn't present... oh dear. This time, we'll suffer a great loss.

Most of them were knocked unconscious by artillery fire and then captured.

Fortunately, they were rescued on the way. Otherwise, they dared not imagine what terrible things might have happened.

They would absolutely never want to go through such a terrifying experience a second time.

"We are willing to follow the Commissioner!"

Shouts rose and fell.

It's getting neater and neater.

I'm getting more and more excited.

Zhang Yong raised his hand, indicating that there was no need to shout anymore.

Okay, I'll take you guys with me from now on. I'm in the Fifth War Zone anyway, so I need some of my own people.

It's not that the Fifth War Zone is dangerous. It's just that we've gotten used to it.

Pan Guocong.

"To!"

"Prepare military uniforms, shoes, socks, and the like for them."

"Yes."

"Weapons and ammunition are not needed. I will arrange that."

"clear."

Pan Guocong agreed and sent people to prepare.

It's not difficult to assemble two sets of military uniforms per person. The Fifth Theater Command has backups.

After capturing Anqing, a considerable amount of Japanese supplies were seized. Anqing was also one of the Japanese's supply transit points, containing several large warehouses.

Of course, there was no money. Only large quantities of supplies. This proved useful to the Nationalist army.

Cotton fabric was used directly to make military uniforms.

Zhang Yong arranged for the delivery of goods. Simultaneously, the goods were grouped.

More than four hundred people. That's just enough to form a battalion.

Its designation was Independent Battalion. It was directly commanded by Zhang Yong and equipped with a radio.

As the battlefield expands, this independent battalion no longer needs to be constantly by your side. It can be deployed separately to fight independently.

and so……

They were equipped with American weapons.

The primary requirement is the Garand semi-automatic rifle. We don't need those mediocre BAR automatic rifles.

Fifty Thompson submachine guns were issued. Not many. The main concern was the untimely supply of ammunition.

Then there's the 12.7mm M2HB heavy machine gun...

Then came the 60mm and 81mm mortars…

"report!"

The communications officer arrived.

Some telegrams were sent. They were all replies in plain text.

Zhang Yong glanced at it. Nothing particularly important. No reply from the Japanese.

It seems that the Japanese invaders ignored the 95.27 MHz frequency.

Sigh, the Japanese invaders were shameless!

Row!
Since that's the case, let's add some more excitement.

"Continue sending messages."

"95.27 MHz frequency. Plain text."

"I will launch a full-scale attack on Luzhou on July 7th, the third anniversary of the Marco Polo Bridge Incident."

"Welcome the Japanese invaders to fight me in Luzhou."

Zhang Yong remained calm and composed.

Wasn't the Japanese about to attack the Fifth War Zone?
Wasn't the attack supposed to start from Luzhou?

Okay!

I'm attacking too!

You're attacking the Fifth War Zone!

I then attacked Luzhou.

It is impolite not to reciprocate. We will attack each other.

Head-to-head.

Let's see who eats whom!
"Yes."

The communications officer drafted the telegram and then sent it.

As a result, this caused a huge stir. The telegram had barely been sent when it received numerous replies in plain text.

"Attack Luzhou? Great! I'll give you five thousand silver dollars!"

"I support 10,000 silver dollars!"

"I also support 10,000 silver dollars!"

"I'll support an attack on Xuzhou with 30,000 silver dollars!"

"Yes, attack Xuzhou!"

Zhang Yong saw the reply. He tilted his head, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Attacking Xuzhou? That seems like a good idea.

I don't care how the Japanese invaders fight, I'll fight my own.

I attacked according to my own plan.

Conquering Luzhou...

Then attack Bengbu...

Then there's Suxian...

Then came Xuzhou...

I'm not performing anymore.

I'm annoyed.

Let yourself go and be yourself.

What strategy or tactics? I don't understand. All I know is to push straight ahead.

There's a railway line, right? I'll just push along it. I'll beat up whoever I encounter. I'll just keep attacking until I get critical hits.

Cool!
Just do it!

I'm actually starting to feel a little impatient.

Pan Guocong: ? ? ?

Is the Commissioner serious?
They actually published the time and location? Aren't they afraid the Japanese would prepare in advance?

What if the Japanese invaders concentrate their forces in Luzhou...?

silence.

As it turns out, there's no need to question it.

All you need to do is follow the Commissioner's orders, and you will win the battle.

and so……

What he needs to do now is figure out how to follow the commissioner to attack Luzhou!
He absolutely had to participate in such a significant military operation!

It is estimated that all the troops in the Fifth War Zone will be very much looking forward to it.

Rubbing their hands together in anticipation...

Eager to try...

……

"idiot!"

"Too deceiving!"

Muto Akira's face was visibly contorted.

This Zhang Yong is so arrogant. He has no respect for anyone.

They actually dared to use plaintext telegrams to clamor for a strong attack on Luzhou.

Did they really think that the Imperial Japanese Army couldn't do anything to this scum?
You've revealed the time and place; do you think we'd be afraid to accept your challenge?
No!

We must accept this challenge.

It's impossible for him to fight in Anqing.

However, we are absolutely confident in our ability to win the battle of Luzhou.

Currently, there are two Japanese divisions concentrated near Luzhou.

Another division could be sent as reinforcements at any time. A total of three divisions. The total strength is close to 70,000 men.

Seventy thousand men defended Luzhou. Even if you send three hundred thousand Nationalist troops to attack, I will remain unmoved.

There are so many independent mixed brigades. Even in a group fight, they could cripple you, Zhang Yong!

When the sky is furious, rain is sure to follow.

Arrogance inevitably leads to disaster.

This time, we must show you, Zhang Yong, what the fighting power of the Imperial Japanese Army is!

idiot!

"Somebody come!"

"exist!"

"Continue to mobilize troops! Assemble them towards Luzhou!"

"Tie!"

"At least thirty more infantry battalions should be mobilized."

"Tie!"

……

"Commander."

Zhang Yong activated the 5C communications center to inquire about the situation in the Fourth War Zone.

The Air Force Command map shows that the Japanese heavy weapons seem to have stopped advancing? They haven't continued to push towards the Fourth War Zone?
"Shaolong, I was just about to tell you that something is amiss."

"Commander, please speak."

"I'm worried that the Japanese will transfer troops from Lingnan to attack the Fifth War Zone!"

"is it?"

"Up to now, the Japanese vanguard has not crossed Britain and Germany. It is clear that the attack on the Fourth War Zone has been temporarily slowed down."

"That's best."

"Shaolong, are you really going to fight the Japanese invaders in Luzhou?"

"If the Japanese invaders wanted to, they would."

"But the Fifth War Zone..."

Liu Zhi really wanted to say, "The Fifth War Zone is full of ragtag troops!"
There isn't even a single member of the Whampoa Military Academy's direct lineage.

They were all remnants of the Guangxi clique, the Sichuan army, the Northwest army, and the Northeast army.

It seems that figures like Pang Bingxun and Miao Chengliu actually had very limited combat capabilities. The Sichuan Army units were even less capable.

However, the arrangements involved Chiang Kai-shek, so he couldn't say anything.

"Sir, then I won't be going back for the time being."

"It's alright. It's alright. I'm not in any danger here. If I am, I'll contact you again."

"Ok."

Zhang Yong hung up the phone.

He understood everything Liu Zhi didn't say.

The concern is that the Fifth Theater Command lacks capable fighting forces.

Indeed, there are no direct descendants of Whampoa Military Academy graduates.

However, I, Zhang Yong, now have a particular fondness for ragtag armies.

They just like to arm ragtag groups, so they can specifically cause you trouble when you're bald.

what!
Are you ostracizing me?
Are you suspicious of me?
Then I'll go ahead and do it.

Regardless of whether I did it or not, you'll assume I did.

If that's the case, wouldn't I be at a huge disadvantage if I didn't go all out? I must work hard, quickly, and strive to be at the top...

"report!"

"Commissioner, urgent telegram from the theater command."

The communications officer arrived.

He handed Zhang Yong a telegram. It was from Commander Li.

Commander Li had clearly seen Zhang Yong's telegram in plain text. He then quickly mobilized troops for him.

Currently, in the Fifth War Zone, on the Luzhou front, there are Sun Tongxuan's 12th Army, Mo Dehong's 55th Army, and Sun Zhen's 41st Army, totaling approximately 80,000 men.

After Zhang Gan's Seventh Army returned, there were a total of four armies, approximately 120,000 men.

In addition, the 46th Army of the Guangxi Clique is on its way.

This is all the forces that the Fifth War Zone can use for the Battle of Luzhou.

It's fair to say that this represents the full strength of the Fifth War Zone.

The pot in the Fifth War Zone is only so big.

"Call back."

"Yes."

"Content: I only need the 41st Army. The 46th Army can also join the battle once it arrives. Signed Zhang Yong."

"Yes."

The staff officer drafted the telegram.

Zhang Yong reviewed it. Confirmed it was correct. Signed and issued it.

Do we need that many troops?
