Years of the Republic of China 1913

"report!"

"Come in!"

Lu Jianzhang looked at the combat map at the headquarters, surrounded by a circle of combat staff, and the entire headquarters was busy.Just as he was concentrating on listening to a combat staff officer explaining the current battle situation between the two sides on the map, the director of the telecommunications room hurried over.

"Air Force urgent call!"

"Air Force?" Lu Jianzhang was taken aback for a moment, stopped the combat staff's explanation, and turned around with a puzzled expression.As the commander-in-chief of the Western Corps, although the Army and the Air Force have cooperated tacitly in the war, especially the Air Force has benefited the Army a lot in terms of coordinated operations, Lu Jianzhang, a new force of the Air Force, still values ​​it.However, the Air Force and the Army belong to two systems. Although in the combat plan of the General Staff, the two armies operate in coordination and can complement each other.That is to say, as the general of the army, the commander of the Northwest Military Region, and the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Army, Lu Jianzhang can only call for support and accompany the Air Force, but cannot directly command the Air Force to fight, and the same is true for the Air Force.

Regarding this issue, Lu Jianzhang made a suggestion to the General Staff some time ago, requesting that the command power of part of the air force be assigned to the direct leadership of the combat units, which can facilitate the flexibility of the overall command and meet the needs of the war.Regarding this suggestion, the General Staff has not responded for the time being, but only said that it needs to be decided after careful consideration.

As the supreme commander of the air force, that is, Prime Minister Fang Zida has actually considered this issue, but after all, the air force is different from the armored force. The air force is a new type of service. Its role is not only for ground support and air combat, but also for other side effect.As a general like Lu Jianzhang, he is far from being able to directly command the air force. From his suggestions, we can see the good aspects, but once the air force is dismantled and handed over to Lu Jianzhang to command, it will be counterproductive and weaken the original combat effectiveness of the air force.

Of course.For the future of the Air Force, Fang Zida has his own plan.After the formation of the Air Force as a whole is completed, it is possible to properly form part of the Army Air Force among the Army Forces.The same is true for the navy. In addition to the Air Force General Command, the future air force will also have two special services, the Army Air Force and the Naval Air Force, but these are all things for the future.The conditions are not yet ripe for this to happen.

Hearing the urgent telegram from the Air Force, the first thing that flashed in Lu Jianzhang's mind would not be the central government's order for him to directly command the Air Force, because if the order was issued, it would also be sent by the General Staff, not the He was told by the Air Force.So, could it be that the Air Force is acting alone, and the Army needs to cooperate?Puzzled, Lu Jianzhang took the telegram and glanced at it, and was immediately stunned. [

"Where is Rostov's position?"

As soon as Lu Jianzhang finished speaking, the combat staff officer on the side immediately found Rostov's location on the map, and took a small flag and stuck it on it as a mark.

Keep your eyes on the flags on the map.Lu Jianzhang soon discovered that Rostov was located northeast of Moscow, only about 200 kilometers away from Moscow, and only 180 kilometers away from Vladimir.

"Damn it!" Lu Jianzhang cursed, and quickly ordered loudly: "Immediately notify the division and brigade commanders to come to the headquarters to hold a combat meeting!"

About an hour later, except for a few commanders who were on the front line, the generals at all levels rushed to the headquarters. When they entered the conference room of the headquarters, they found that Lu Jianzhang, who had been cheerful these days, looked gloomy today. It's like trying to squeeze out water.

"Boss, what's the matter?" Major General Yang Huchen of the 91st Brigade was once Lu Jianzhang's head of security.Relying on his relationship with Lu Jianzhang, he couldn't help asking softly.

Who knew that it would be fine if he didn't ask, as soon as he spoke, Lu Jianzhang's sharp eyes swept over him.With a dark face, he immediately asked, "Is the northern defense zone in Vladimir your 91st brigade responsible?"

"Yes……."

"Has there been any changes in the defense area recently?"

"This...everything is normal. According to your order, our department is mainly responsible for the security of the right wing of the main force, and the whole brigade will not dare to neglect at all..." Yang Huchen, who was puzzled by Monk Zhang Er, was a little confused. The front line was fighting vigorously. And his 91st Brigade was placed in the northern region of Vladimir as a second-line force.From the Battle of Moscow to the present, he hasn't won a single battle. Every day is just preparation. Is it possible that Lu Jianzhang is going to mobilize his troops and send them to the front to take over from other troops?But it's not right.Looking at Lu Jianzhang's appearance, it seemed that he was dissatisfied with himself. What did he do to make Boss Lu unhappy?

"Normal fart!" Lu Jianzhang was furious, grabbed the telegram in front of him with one hand and threw it at Yang Huchen: "Look! Look! Everything is normal? Thank you for being able to tell! I'm entrusting the right wing to you. , you actually neglected your duties? You almost killed the entire army! I... I want to shoot you!"

The furious Lu Jianzhang slapped the table loudly, and the stunned Yang Huchen didn't know what happened. As for the other people who attended the meeting, they didn't know what happened. At this time, Lu Jianzhang became more and more annoyed by his cursing, and he untied it in a fit of anger. Holstered, intending to draw the gun.

"Boss, calm down! Boss, calm down!" Lu Jianzhang's move shocked everyone. Jia Zongrang was sitting closest to Lu Jianzhang. He jumped up and grabbed Lu Jianzhang's hand that drew his gun. The caught Yang Huchen yelled loudly: "Yang Zhongxiang, what did you do wrong? Why don't you apologize to the boss immediately!"

"Boss, if you have something to say, let's talk about it. Even if Yang Zhongxiang is at fault, he can't be punished with death. Besides, it's time to employ people. Let him live for the time being."

"Yes, boss, put the fire away... If you have something to say, talk about it. Brother Yang has been loyal to you all these years, and he has worked hard without credit. Just let him go." [

The people who had reacted hurriedly stepped forward to persuade, pleading for Yang Huchen with all their tongues.At this time, Lu Jianzhang gradually calmed down, glared at Yang Huchen, and sat back in his seat angrily.

At this time, someone remembered the piece of paper that Lu Jianzhang threw on Yang Huchen's face. Zhang Zhizhong was sitting not far from the falling piece of paper.

"What! The Air Force found that there is a large enemy force in the area south of Rostov moving towards Moscow?"

"Ah! Is it true or not?"

"Where is Rostov? How far is the enemy? How many enemies are there?"

"Where did the troops come from? They couldn't be the peasants organized by Stalin, could they?"

"Why is there no news in advance? What do the troops in the north do?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone finally understood why Lu Jianzhang was so annoyed just now. The area north of Vladimir was in charge of the 91st Brigade, and Rostov was only more than 91 kilometers away from the position of the 100st Brigade. With such a large group of enemies, Yang Huchen, the brigade commander, didn't even know about it. It's no wonder that Lu Jianzhang wasn't angry.

"Half an hour ago, I checked with the Air Force via telegram. According to the pilots who returned from the Air Force, there is indeed such an enemy moving rapidly to the south in the Rostov area. According to preliminary judgments, the enemy's strength is at least 30. And it is likely to be the main force of the enemy, definitely not a new army."

Lu Jianzhang said coldly, the room was suddenly silent, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.Now, the whole army is storming Moscow. Judging from the comparison of the total strength of the enemy and ourselves, the total strength of Soviet Russia is almost three times that of the Chinese army.But in terms of equipment, morale, and combat effectiveness, the Chinese Legion has far the upper hand.Not surprisingly, it was only a matter of time before the enemy was completely defeated and Moscow was captured.

But at this time, the enemy suddenly appeared with more than 30 reinforcements, and they were regular troops of the Red Army.Once this force reinforces Moscow, it will bring great trouble to the current operations.What's even more frightening is that if this force directly attacks the Vladimir region in Rostov and catches the Chinese army by surprise, the consequences will be even more serious.

"Damn it! What is this Yang Huchen doing? If I had known, I wouldn't have pleaded with him just now. I almost killed everyone!"

Thinking of these consequences, everyone's expressions changed slightly, and all of them showed angry expressions when they looked at Yang Huchen who was still standing there in a daze.Yes, just like what Lu Jianzhang scolded just now, you, Yang Huchen, serve as the right-wing defense zone to ensure the safety of the main force.But now hundreds of thousands of enemies are almost under your nose, you still don't know, isn't this harmful?

"I...I...." Yang Huchen's face was pale, his lips trembled slightly, and he didn't know how to explain it.He was wronged!It is even more wronged than Dou E!He, Yang Huchen, did not neglect his duties at all. The scouts that should have been sent out had been dispatched long ago, but no one had ever reported to him any traces of the enemy!Could it be that this enemy fell from the sky?But now that the facts were in front of him again, he, Yang Huchen, had no way of explaining what was going on.

"Revocation of Yang Huchen's post as brigade commander of the 91st Brigade and relegation to company commander. The department will be replaced by the deputy brigade commander. Jia Zongrang's department will be transferred to take charge of the northern border defense area. The entire brigade of the 91st Brigade will be under Jia Zongrang's command temporarily!"

Lu Jianzhang revoked Yang Huchen's post as brigade commander on the spot. After announcing the order, he waved his hand, and two guards immediately stepped forward and took off Yang Huchen's epaulettes, and then took him out.

After dealing with Yang Huchen and transferring Jia Zong's troops to the north, the next question is to find out where this army came from, who is the commander, how many troops they have in total, what is their equipment, what is their combat effectiveness, and so on. The Legion must make corresponding adjustments in order to make a perfect plan.

No one can answer these questions at all.Now it is just the intelligence of the Air Force, and the discovery of this unit is also a coincidence, and these issues will have to be verified by continuing reconnaissance. Judging from the distance between the two sides, there is not much time left for the Chinese army.

When everyone was worried about these issues, Bai Chongxi, who had been silent all this time, exchanged glances with Zhang Zhizhong beside him, and after thinking for a while, Bai Chongxi stood up and said: "Boss, everyone, maybe I know the origin of this army... …”
