Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 1271, Japanese aircraft carrier is coming

Keep busy.

The whole pier was in full swing.

It seems like they are going to have a big fight to surpass the British and catch up with the beautiful.

But Zhang Yong was leisurely.

All the Commissioner has to do is use his mouth. And then there’s the matter of paying.

Other things, of course, are done by others.

Throw out a lot of legal currency. The legal currency that was "hoarded" before was finally put to use.

Recruited many civilian husbands.

Almost all the refugees in the city were recruited.

Those refugees all fled from the suburbs of Songhu. Facts have proved that the fighting there was indeed tragic.

The fighting mainly took place in the suburbs. The urban area has not been affected yet. Therefore, some news can still be concealed for now.

Drink tea.

Read the newspaper.

Cross your legs.

The newspaper content was calm.

There are no reports about the Battle of Songhu.

There were previous reports that Wang Yaowu led the 51st Division to participate in the battle. Not anymore.

It's all about singing and dancing. It’s all quiet and good times.

What the common people are talking about seems to be all kinds of gossip.

Even Shi Bingdao's "Daily Shenwen" must publish some gossip news to achieve good sales.

If all your content is serious, almost no one will read it.

These days, there is no compulsory newspaper subscription, and all newspapers are purchased voluntarily.

Throw the newspaper away.

stand up.

Stretch. Get ready to get out and move around.

I have been staying here at the dock for the past few days, spending money every day, and almost all the legal currency has been spent.

Gotta go out and make some money.

If there are spies, catch them. If there are no spies, we will arrest the rich...

Suddenly, the map prompted several white dots approaching. Check. Discovery is marked.

It's Mr. Cheng from Suzhou. And Wu Zijiang, whom they hired.

So he sat down again. Waiting silently.

Has gold logo.

Probably gold bars.

Maybe it was given to myself.

Ha ha. rare. It’s been a long time since anyone took the initiative to deliver gold bars to my door.

Of course it was a pleasant wait.

Sure enough, several white dots came outside the entrance of the Inspector's Office. Report identity.

Then, someone came to report to Zhang Yong.

"Mr. Commissioner, Mr. Cheng from Suzhou is looking for you."

"You're from Suzhou? Please come!"

Zhang Yong pretended to know just now. stand up. Go out and greet.

Well, there is no need to go backwards. But when someone comes with gold bars, Zhang Yong will definitely receive him warmly.

"Mr. Cheng."

"Your Majesty Commissioner."

A bit of courtesy. Both sides were smiling.

Enter the Inspectorate. Wu Zixiang presented the gift. Sure enough, there were gold bars and silver notes inside.

Zhang Yong pondered for a moment and looked at Mr. Cheng, "This is..."

"Mr. Commissioner, I came here today just to ask you something." Mr. Cheng hesitated to speak.

"Excuse me, old sir. Zhang told me everything I knew and couldn't tell you anything."

"Mr. Commissioner, the war in Songhu..."

"It will get bigger and bigger. It will get more and more tragic. Many, many people may die."

"Ah, this..."

"For the sake of safety, I suggest you quickly evacuate to the mainland with your money."

"this…"

"Mr. Cheng, the sky is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortunes and misfortunes. If the Japanese invaders come to Suzhou, you will be in a dilemma. If you don't agree with the Japanese invaders, you may be killed on the spot. If you agree with the Japanese invaders, eight of us will If you come back in a few years, you will be treated as traitors and you will end up with nothing."

"this…"

"The only plan for now is to evacuate decisively. As long as people are alive, everything else is trivial. You can leave the green hills without worrying about having no firewood!"

"But our family has a lot of real estate..."

"Then it depends on how you decide. Do you want your head or your property?"

"this…"

Mr. Cheng was in a dilemma.

Wu Zixiang looked around quietly. He hesitated to speak.

"Say it. I have no one else here."

"Mr. Commissioner, did the front line fail?"

"Why do you say that?"

"At night, many wounded soldiers passed by Suzhou..."

"Yeah?"

"I saw it all with my own eyes. A lot."

"There was no failure. But the battle was tragic. The government is currently increasing troops."

"I heard that the Japanese are also increasing their troops..."

"Oh? How did you know? Who told you?"

"I also heard what people said. They said that Japanese warships and planes were coming. It was overwhelming."

"Who said that?"

"Those wounded soldiers! The Japanese they said were so powerful! When one shot came down, everyone around him was gone, and he was the only one left."

"this…"

Zhang Yong was silent.

battlefield. It's just so cruel.

No matter how many times I remind myself. It is impossible to avoid it perfectly.

As long as the Japanese warships are still providing artillery support, the Chinese army will suffer terrible artillery damage if they want to attack.

Under the obstruction of Japanese naval guns, all attacks by the national army would turn into suicide.

Once the Japanese aircraft carrier...

etc!

Suddenly, there was movement on the world map.

It was the Japanese aircraft carrier that was dispatched. Departing Yokosuka port.

Not a ship. There are two ships!

Check.

It was discovered that they were the Kaga and Hosho.

frown.

Things are getting worse.

The Japanese Navy Ma Lu finally dispatched its aircraft carrier.

Previously, the Japanese aircraft deployed on the Songhu battlefield mainly came from Songshan Airport on Taiwan Island.

Because the distance is far away, the air firepower is not too intensive. The main reason is that naval guns are more troublesome. Things have changed now. The Japanese aircraft carrier formation is coming.

The Kaga and Hosho are both old-fashioned aircraft carriers. The number of aircraft carried is not large.

All added up, maybe about eighty.

However, in addition to aircraft, there are also a large number of other accompanying warships!

Generally speaking, battleships will not follow aircraft carriers. However, cruisers and destroyers do.

Two aircraft carriers, at least five cruisers, and a dozen destroyers. Even more. This is an overwhelming advantage for the Songhu battlefield.

Planes bombed in turn...

Naval cannons bombarded in turn...

The infantry is completely useless in the face of this firepower!

No matter how brave you are and how fearless you are, you will be torn apart by merciless gunfire. Not even DNA could be found.

Those who advocate war are either stupid or bad.

"Commissioner?"

"Commissioner?"

Wu Zixiang noticed that Zhang Yong looked wrong.

Zhang Yong slowly came back to his senses. Face tightened. Quick words.

"Don't say anything, don't ask anything. If you want to survive, act immediately and retreat to the rear."

"Don't explain anything to anyone. Pack up and leave immediately."

No time to explain. Get in the car quickly.

wrong. Yes, run quickly.

Mr. Cheng:…

Wu Zixiang:…

They all saw from Zhang Yong's face that the matter was urgent.

So I didn't dare to neglect. Farewell. Then set off back to Suzhou.

Zhang Yong:…

So tired.

real.

Knowing the results in advance is also a torture.

He knew clearly that Songhu would fall and Jinling would fall, but even though he had the help of the system, he could not save himself.

No heavy weapons. No matter how large the army was, they were all massacred.

Alas, so many brave soldiers...

If there are five pairs of wheels, red arrows, flying crossbows, and C-803...

"Somebody come!"

"arrive!"

Ouyang Sheng came in.

His action team was transferred back by Zhang Yong.

I feel like I have no one to support myself, and it’s still inconvenient to move around. Unable to use arms and fingers.

Ouyang Sheng, Qin Haitao, and Nangong Hanqing were all old subordinates who went to Tianjin Wei with Zhang Yong.

After returning, he was assigned to the Strategic Intelligence Office of the Air Force.

In fact, there is nothing special. Mainly responsible for airport security.

The National Air Force is currently seizing time to build rear airports, so they are also running around.

It just so happened that Ouyang Sheng was at Wuhu Airport. So he was caught.

Wuhu Airport is a small airport. It is used as a backup for Jinling University Airport. Not much value.

At least, that's what Zhang Yong thinks. Because Jinling fell quickly. Wuhu is useless.

However, only Zhang Yong knew about this matter.

The big picture is complicated.

Even within the Air Force, there are undercurrents surging.

Zhou Zhirou is back. Appointed Director of the Aeronautics Commission. He is also the director of the Air Resources Department.

Qian Wanjun, who previously served part-time, resigned as director of the Aviation Committee. But the new appointment was not mentioned. Zhang Yong suspected that he should also have gone to the Songhu front line.

Zhang Yong and Zhou Zhirou had never dealt with each other. But it was obvious that the other party was not very friendly.

Otherwise, the empty funding department would have come to the door by now.

Even though I was hugging the lady’s thighs. However, internal power struggles occur all the time.

If Zhou Zhirou wants to take charge of the Air Force, he must first downplay Zhang Yong's influence. Similarly, if Zhang Yong wanted to keep his promise, he would have to get rid of Zhou Zhirou.

"Walk!"

"yes!"

Zhang Yong took his troops and prepared to set off.

Go catch a few rich people and get some.

Suddenly, the map prompted that dense white spots appeared again in the west. All are heavily armed.

Another troop ship arrived. It may be Wang Kuiyuan's 66th Division of the Sichuan Army. It may also be the 184th Division. For both divisions, the commanders reported to the Songhu headquarters first, while the troops had to wait a few days later. So stop setting off. See whose army it is.

Raise the telescope.

It was the Sichuan Army that came. Not the Yunnan Army.

The military uniforms of the two are completely different.

The Yunnan Army was far superior to the Sichuan Army in terms of weapons, equipment, and military uniforms.

Soon I discovered that there was an officer inside, and his collar badge also had two golden three-pointed stars.

Huh?

Not actually Wang Kuiyuan's subordinate?

You must know that there can only be at most one lieutenant general in a division. There can't be two. That would lead to confusion in command.

There are no political commissars in the national army. Only deputy and chief of staff. These two positions must be one level lower than the chief officer. At most one golden three-pointed star.

So, who will come?

Is it another newly transferred unit? The Sichuan army came very quickly...

Wait patiently. The troop ship docked.

The lieutenant general came forward.

Inform each other of their identities.

"I am Zhang Yong, you are..."

"Commissioner Zhang, I am Rao Guohua."

"It turns out to be Master Rao!"

Zhang Yong suddenly realized.

It turned out that Rao Guohua arrived with his troops.

Wang Kuiyuan said before that the first two divisions to leave Sichuan were him and Rao Guohua.

Briefly introduce the situation.

Rao Guohua brought the 145th Division of the Sichuan Army.

However, compared with Wang Kuiyuan's 66th Division, the 145th Division was in very bad shape.

Because the time to leave Sichuan was very urgent, the 145th Division had not yet completed its reorganization, its weapons and ammunition had not been replenished, and its soldiers had not been replenished in place.

Originally, according to the establishment, there should be more than 9,000 people. But, in reality, there were just over 6,000 people. The shortage is close to 3,000.

The weapons and equipment are also relatively crude. There are no mountain cannons. There are only a dozen mortars. There are more than a dozen Maxim water-cooled heavy machine guns. There are more than fifty Czech-style light machine guns.

This was only possible after He Guoguang allocated some weapons and ammunition to the Sichuan Army.

Obviously, there is something hidden behind the 145th Division.

Although all parties quickly sent troops to arrive. However, there is no doubt that the first batch of troops to arrive early have the problem of insufficient mutual trust.

You asked me to come. I am coming. However, shouldn't you, Lao Chiang, also show your sincerity?

I'm not demanding. Just follow the general army establishment.

Weapons and ammunition have been replenished. Only in this way can we go to the battlefield!

The Sichuan army, in particular, really lacks weapons and ammunition.

Even the troops around Rao Guohua didn't have many bullets.

"Mr. Rao, are you really so short of people?" Zhang Yong said slowly, "You don't even have enough people."

"Commissioner, with all due respect, if we don't have weapons and equipment, what's the use of bringing more people? Are we going to let the soldiers fight the enemy with their fists?" Rao Guohua didn't mince words when he spoke, "Instead of doing this, it's better to bring more people I’ll sort it out too.”

Zhang Yong:…

All right.

Angry. Resentment.

Totally understandable.

This time the Sichuan Army was reorganized, and it was indeed very miserable.

Even worse than the Northeast Army. At any rate, the Northeast Army did not reduce its number of personnel. Just changed some officers.

The Sichuan Army is truly compressed. More than half of it is compressed.

But the biggest problem of the Sichuan Army is that it is not united internally and has many obstacles. Therefore, no matter how much it is compressed, it cannot be twisted into a rope to resist.

“Fill the man up!”

"How to solve the problem of weapons and ammunition?"

"I'll help you add it."

"good."

Rao Guohua agreed. But I don't quite believe it.

He is indeed tasked with "testing the waters". It was to test whether the Jinling government was sincere.

If you are really sincere, you must find a way to supplement the supplies you need.

The orders from the Military and Administrative Department were ambiguous. He himself has no bottom.

Zhang Yong…

It does not belong to the Ministry of Military Affairs.

Will the 145th Division really be replenished with weapons and ammunition?

"Hold on."

Zhang Yong was calm and relaxed.

If you want to talk about heavy weapons, there are none.

However, small arms and ammunition can definitely be replenished.

Half an hour later…

A small transport ship arrives. Dock dock.

There are indeed no heavy weapons. But there are small arms. There are rifles, light machine guns, and mortars.

Bullets, shells, grenades, mines. All.

"Add it yourself!"

"Very good!"

Rao Guohua was overjoyed.

He hurriedly took his soldiers on board the ship to carry them.

Seeing so many weapons and ammunition, many soldiers cheered as if celebrating the New Year.

Zhang Yong:…

Alas, sad!

Others are going to the battlefield and risking their lives!

They were already so happy if they simply provided weapons and ammunition.

None of them made any other demands.

well…

They are actually the best soldiers in the world.

It's a pity that the national power is weak and they have to be consumed ruthlessly. In the end, it turned into a dense mass of white bones and will accompany the great rivers and mountains of China forever.

if…

Someone came in a hurry.

"Reporting to the specialist, the attendant's office is calling to see you."

"knew."

Zhang Yong calmed down. Come and answer the phone.

I found that the caller was not Director Lin. It's that Liu Zhenzhen.

Well, that one is not pretty. A serious look on his face. But not from the Red Party. The woman who would also accept his gifts.

Maybe most of the staff are like this.

"Secretary Liu."

"Commissioner Zhang, come to the Presidential Palace now."

"good."

Zhang Yong agreed.

Sure enough, I was summoned to the Presidential Palace.

It is estimated that the front line cannot support it, and it is necessary to use the troops under its own supervision.

"Go to the presidential palace."

"yes."

Take Ouyang Sheng with you on the road.

You still need to bring enough people to go in and out.

This is now a time of real war. Any accident can happen.

On the battlefield, there are people everywhere and guns everywhere.

0.000% negligence may lead to death.

Come to the Presidential Palace.

I found that the security here has become much tighter.

There are many gendarmes.

Lots of sandbags.

There are also many temporary dugouts.

Finally I saw the Sulothong 20mm machine gun. For air defense.

In addition, the Oerlikon 20mm cannon was also seen. There is also the Bofors 37mm cannon. Distributed around the Presidential Palace.

The government purchased weapons and equipment, and when someone was sick, they rushed to the doctor.

Buy some like this. Buy some like that. None of them match. Logistics simply cannot be unified.

But there is no way to match it.

Originally, I wanted to buy a complete set of German equipment, but now the Germans have turned their backs and won’t sell it.

Those who have already received payment will not be shipped. Therefore, the credibility of the Germans is not good either.

In the final analysis, it is still about interests. Profit is fundamental!

Report identity.

Enter the Presidential Palace.

Liu Zhenzhen is already waiting for him.

"Secretary Liu, what do you want to see me for?"

"I came to see you late at night because I wanted you to read the battle report."

"Battle report?"

"You will go to Suzhou early tomorrow morning."

"Suzhou?"

"Yes. The commission has ordered you to go to Suzhou early tomorrow morning to reorganize the troops and wait for orders."

"Where's Director Lin?"

"The commissioner does not stay at the presidential palace at night."

"Understood."

Zhang Yong then stopped asking.

Obviously, Chiang Kai-shek was worried about being unsafe at night.

Director Lin probably had something to say that he was embarrassed to say to himself. There may be pressure, too.

Make excuses to avoid. Obviously guilty.

Zhang Yong does have many enemies. Including internal ones.

Many of them are also close associates of Chiang Kai-shek. For example, Chen Cheng, He Yingqin, etc.

Well, this is He Yingqin, who has great opinions on Zhang Yong. It is estimated that the Ministry of Military Affairs was the one who tried to prevent Zhang Yong from going to Songhu.

I don’t know what kind of information Lao Jiang had in He Yingqin’s hands. After returning from the northwest, he was not dealt with.

They are all great characters!

Now Comrade Jianfeng is back. Have your own little group.

It's okay for these all kinds of people to come together and put some eye drops on Zhang Yong and sow a wedge between him and Zhang Yong.

Director Lin is caught in the middle, which is really difficult to do. He, Zhang Yong, didn’t force himself.

Anyway, I don't care.

I will do whatever I want to do. If you don't want to do it, pull it down!

The most I can do is continue to catch spies! Make money! Then he can still make a living by reselling some international intelligence.

Bow.

Read the battle report.

It's all good news.

They all annihilate more or less enemies.

If you just look at the numbers, the Japanese invaders lost at least dozens of divisions.

For example, the 36th Division reported that more than 3,000 enemies were wiped out. Just a fight. Just destroy a regiment of Japanese invaders.

So awesome!

But why are there still so many Japanese invaders?

The 36th Division alone reported the elimination of more than 70,000 Japanese invaders. It is equivalent to three divisions of the Japanese invaders.

The battle reports of other 87th and 88th Divisions were not so exaggerated, but they often wiped out more than a thousand or two thousand enemies. All of them add up to tens of thousands.

However, the battle lines remained unchanged. He even backed away.

The latter are all required to be repaired.

8,000 additional troops are needed...

Need to replenish weapons and equipment...

Just one 36th Division needs to recruit 8,000 people?

Wouldn't that mean the entire army was wiped out?

Damn it.

Your 36th Division actually still has combat effectiveness after suffering 8,000 casualties?

Lao Jiang probably believed such a battle report.

Anyone else would be able to tell there's something wrong! When did the spirit and will of your 36th Division become so tenacious?

boring.

Too lazy to read more.

Just looking at the battle reports is complete nonsense.

You have to go to the front line in person to understand what the real battlefield is like.

Something suddenly occurred to me. Find the battle report of the 51st Division.

Lao Wang is quite pragmatic. The battle report shouldn't be that watery.

Sure enough, the first battle report was:

"On the 23rd, our unit came into contact with the enemy and lost more than 300 people. Several weapons."

"In the battle at Xiaoyangbang, our troops killed and injured more than 200 Japanese invaders."

He turned his head and thought for a moment. This battle report should be relatively credible. After all, this is the first battle.

The next battle report seems to be a bit exaggerated. Annihilate three hundred, five hundred, one thousand enemies. The numbers are also slowly rising.

Okay, no need to look. Lao Wang except for the first battle report is true. The ones at the back also contain moisture. Polished.

According to Lao Wang's battle report, he had at least eliminated one division of the Japanese invaders.

However, the Japanese invaders are still powerful.

The Japanese Tenth Army has not yet landed from Jinshanwei!

well…

"I will go to Suzhou early tomorrow morning!"
