Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 1278, drinking poison to quench thirst

"Nani?"

"The chariot unit was attacked?"

"Baga!"

"A small group of Chinese people! Not enough to cause trouble!"

"Immediately order all troops to be on alert. Small groups of Chinese troops are strictly prohibited from escaping."

Susumu Fujita is calm.

Anyone who can be a division leader has some ability.

What's more, he is the division commander of a standing division.

It immediately judged that this was not a conventional tactic.

It should be the Chinese who sent a small group of troops to conduct a sneak attack behind the Japanese army.

The Japanese rear suffered losses due to their negligence.

In this case, as long as the troops are ordered to be on alert, everything will be fine.

Some scattered small Chinese troops are not enough to cause trouble.

"Your Excellency General, the chariot unit was unfortunately shattered in the battle on the front line." the chief of staff reminded tactfully.

"That's right. That's it." Susumu Fujita certainly understood what the chief of staff meant.

As long as it is lost on the front line, it is normal.

There is no need to say that it was damaged by an attack in the rear.

Otherwise, Bunzaburo Kawagishi…

Why ask for trouble? There is no benefit in reporting the truth.

What the base camp needs is not this kind of truth. If you report it directly, no one will be interested.

In this case, there is no need to notify the 11th Division on the flank.

There are some things that everyone has to hide. Not to mention an outsider?

More importantly, this Songhu War involved the participation of the Navy's Red Deer.

If Navy Red Deer finds out, they might sing, dance, drink red wine and eat steak to celebrate...

Baga!

wine! steak!

Why is the Navy Red Deer so luxurious!

Baga!

Our army only has sake!

God is unfair...

"Command the troops and strictly prohibit any mention of losses."

"Tie!"

…

Yao Ziqing and others went to rest.

Zhang Yong is closing his eyes to rest. In fact, I didn't fall asleep at all.

He doesn't seem too sleepy lately.

In fact, being able to sleep is a good thing.

After falling asleep, time passes very quickly. Another day passes in the blink of an eye.

In a daze, there was suddenly some commotion outside. So I got curious and walked out of the house.

"What's going on?"

"Reporting to the commissioner, the Japanese aircraft attacked Jinling, causing many casualties."

"oh…"

Zhang Yong looked sad.

What is supposed to come will come. Sure enough, the air raids began.

The Japanese invaders not only raided the Songhu battlefield, but also launched an air raid on Jinling. Trying to use force to force the Chinese to surrender.

Lao Jiang thought of starting. But I didn't expect the ending.

At present, the long-delayed war should be something that he and the entire decision-making team did not expect.

I thought I could capture it quickly without the Japanese invaders paying attention. As a result, the success fell short. Just a little bit different. The battlefield turned into a quagmire.

The Japanese invaders' quick response and determination to take advantage of the opportunity to expand the war were something Chiang Kai-shek did not expect.

It is estimated that the German military advisory group did not expect it either. The Japanese invaders will increase their troops so quickly. Several divisions were quickly mobilized.

At present, the Japanese invaders have already landed five divisions in Songhu. The sixth and ninth divisions with extremely strong combat effectiveness are among them.

The division commander of the Sixth Division was the notorious Hisao Tani.

More Japanese divisions are still being mobilized. Or on the road.

The Tenth Army led by Yanagawa Heisuke is also being formed.

In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese invaders had very sufficient soldiers and were expanding their troops very quickly.

In just a few months, more than thirty divisions were added.

Such terrifying mobilization ability shows that the Japanese invaders have been planning for a long time.

Suddenly I saw Commander Qian,

Commander Qian waved to Zhang Yong. Signal him to come over.

The two entered a conference room.

"well…"

Commander Qian sighed heavily.

Zhang Yong sat silently. His expression remained calm.

"The commission wants to mediate."

"ah?"

"But neither Britain nor the United States agreed. They said we were the first to launch the attack."

"They didn't see the fighting at Marco Polo Bridge. But they saw the fighting at Hongkou clearly! The Japanese have been attacking us since 1931. We finally fought back once, and they still say it's our fault?"

"Those foreigners are also ambitious, and none of them can be trusted. One wants trade, another wants concessions, and some want all our tungsten sand, bah!"

Commander Qian was also very angry.

Zhang Yong listened silently. Tungsten Sha should be scolding the Germans.

Signed a long-term military trade agreement with China and continued to provide equipment for thirty divisions. Huaxia paid with tungsten sand.

As a result, the tungsten sand was collected, but the equipment of the thirty divisions was gone.

"Otherwise, I'll take back the tungsten sand."

"What?"

"Since the Germans are unwilling to continue to provide equipment, it would be reasonable for us to take back the tungsten sand."

"this…"

Commander Qian hesitated to speak.

Zhang Yong then knew that Chiang Kai-shek did not dare to offend the Germans.

He still had the slightest illusion that he could continue to mediate and persuade the Germans to provide weapons again.

Therefore, the tungsten sand trade cannot be interrupted. Otherwise, German weapons would really be gone.

Is it naive, naive, or naive?

If you don’t have the ability to regenerate yourself, you will be manipulated like this.

"Let's talk about it later."

"Perhaps we can go to our neighbors to the north."

"What?"

"Neighbor to the north. Red Soviet Russia."

"them?"

"The Japanese invaders' hundreds of thousands of Kwantung troops are not targeting us. They are Red Soviet Russia. If they can lend our hands to weaken the Japanese invaders, Red Soviet Russia will be very happy."

"That being said, I'm afraid their appetite is not small. In the time of the Tsar..."

"Drink poison to quench thirst. Look at the present first."

"Too."

Commander Qian nodded slowly.

Drink poison to quench thirst. The consequences are serious. But at least he can survive.

If you don't drink, I'm afraid you will die on the spot.

Based on the current situation, I am afraid that the war will be protracted and cannot be sustained without external assistance.

silence.

a long time.

There is nothing more to say.

These are all uncomfortable topics.

"Report!"

A staff officer arrived in a hurry.

First salute Commander Qian. Then he saluted Zhang Yong.

"Commissioner, there's an urgent call from the attendant's office."

"Give me."

Zhang Yong reached out and took it.

Read it in silence. Then he handed it to Commander Qian.

Commander Qian took it. Finished reading. There was a moment of silence. Then he said: "It's difficult."

"I originally only had three divisions. It is already very difficult to recapture Luodian, Yuepu, and Baoshan." Zhang Yong said slowly, "How can it be possible to dispatch one division to Zhabei?"

"But the situation over there in Zhabei is very bad. Sun Yuanliang's 88th Division is exhausted and has lost more than half of it. If there is no fresh force to intervene, the defense line will definitely collapse." Commander Qian told the truth, "They are facing the Japanese Sixth Army. The Ninth Division is the best of the best."

"How about we give up Zhabei?"

"Don't speak like this in front of the committee. The committee cannot give up on Zhabei. Zhang Fakui once mentioned that he was yelled at by the committee on the spot."

"Why?"

"The foreigners are watching! How can we give up?"

"Well…"

Zhang Yong was speechless.

It turns out to be a show!

A show for foreigners!

The problem is, Luodian is not willing to give up, and Zhabei is not willing to give up either. Do you have that many troops?

Not willing to give up anywhere. Guard wherever you go.

You can just use your mouth. But it can’t be done below!

"Are there any troops nearby?"

"No more. All that can be transferred have been transferred. Many are still on the way. Including the three armies of Xue Yue, Liu Jianxu, and Liao Lei."

"When will the Gui troops arrive?"

"They don't come to the Songhu battlefield. They go to the Central Plains. They go to Xuzhou."

"All right…"

Zhang Yong actually wanted to say, no, let the Guangxi Seventh Army come over.

Objectively speaking, the combat effectiveness of the Guangxi Seventh Army is still very good. It is also flexible in fighting. Not so rigid.

On the current Chinese battlefield, the biggest drawback of the national army is that its tactics are too rigid.

He was eaten to death by the Japanese invaders. Resulting in heavy casualties.

However, it was impossible for Chiang Kai-shek to agree. How can you allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the couch? Guixi came and he couldn't sleep.

Letting the Gui clan go to the Central Plains is already a last resort. Don’t even think about coming to Songhu. It is estimated that no one would dare to propose it.

Otherwise, it might not be as simple as yelling, but settling scores.

I suspect that you have colluded with the Gui clique. Let’s settle the matter to the end.

Suddenly I felt so tired.

Don't want to worry about anything.

Let him be.

What are you so worried about?

Anyway, do your own thing well and survive until August 15, 1945, which is victory!

Get up.

Farewell.

Go to sleep.

Force yourself to sleep.

When I woke up again, it was already dusk.

stand up.

Wash up.

Have dinner.

Xia Chuzhong arranged dinner.

Yao Ziqing led his troops to eat together.

Zhang Yong came to his troops and joined everyone. It turned out that there were many new faces in his camp.

There were more than four hundred people. It seems like seven hundred?

Its appearance is unattractive.

The divine light is restrained.

Sometimes, some people are not ordinary people at first glance.

The King of Soldiers, Zheng Guangyi, was also quietly hiding among the crowd. Isn’t this guy satisfied with fighting? Want to follow again?

OK.

Just take him there.

Look how powerful he is.

"them…"

"They are all arranged by other troops to observe and learn."

"I see."

Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully.

It was probably Commander Qian's arrangement. The main thing is to learn the tactics of exchange.

Regardless of whether Chiang Kai-shek agreed or not, Commander Qian and General Wenbai were probably angry. We must innovate our tactics.

You can't passively take a beating.

Be proactive. Reduce the impact of the Japanese aggressors' heavy weapons.

Chen Cheng, Zhang Fakui and others probably also agree.

As a result, the best people transferred from other troops, who may be their respective "soldier kings", arrived one after another. Join Yao Ziqing's camp.

Therefore, there were originally only more than 400 people in each battalion. It suddenly increased to seven hundred.

Weapons are naturally the best. There are many Chinese and formal rifles. There are also many light machine guns.

Eat enough.

Adjust weapons.

No bolt action rifles.

Part of it was replaced with a Thompson submachine gun.

Part of it was replaced with a Garand semi-automatic.

You can carry a light machine gun.

It turns out that the Czech light machine gun can also be used as a submachine gun.

As long as you are strong enough, you can lift it up and sweep it across. But there is a prerequisite, that is, a 30-round curved magazine must be used.

Since there is systematic help, Zhang Yong must of course maximize the firepower of the light infantry.

No heavy weapons. But the light firepower is off the charts.

Bulk shipping.

Send the Thompson submachine gun...

Send the Garand semi-automatic rifle...

Send a Czech light machine gun...

Send 60mm mortars...

Add six 12.7mm large-caliber machine guns.

Added two 14.5mm anti-tank rifles.

Then, change into military uniform.

Replace the military uniforms of Huangpu's direct descendants.

Facts have proved that the yellow-green color is too conspicuous on the Songhu battlefield.

The gray cloth uniforms of the Sichuan Army are the best. After scratching and getting a little dirty, it's hard to tell.

Even if the Japanese pilot's vision was 5.4, he couldn't tell the difference.

Zhang Yong himself does not need to change.

He always wears a dark gray tunic suit. The same goes for being on the battlefield.

This is the only one with no other branches.

In fact, there is no difference. Anyway, it will become a mess after a while.

8pm. Depart on time.

It feels like it can no longer be considered a small force. There are seven hundred people.

Head east.

Soon they encountered sporadic Japanese invaders.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

This is all a sniper's job.

With intermittent gunshots, sporadic Japanese invaders were killed.

keep going.

Accident. There were no further encounters with Japanese invaders.

ten o'clock…

eleven o'clock…

They marched for three hours without encountering any Japanese invaders.

So the troops were ordered to stop. Take a break. Zhang Yong himself closed his eyes and rested his mind. Monitor the map silently.

Strange, where have the Japanese invaders gone?

Along the way, I didn’t meet you?

Could it be that the troops have been reduced?

This is not a good thing...

If the Japanese invaders shrink into a ball, they can only attack by force. That would be time-consuming and labor-intensive. Casualties will also be huge.

Suddenly, more than a hundred red dots appeared on the edge of the map.

It moves very quickly. But not a tank. Then he reacted. They are the Japanese cavalry.

Made.

It's actually a Japanese cavalry!

On the Songhu battlefield, there were actually Japanese cavalry!

What's the use of cavalry here?

Gesture.

"Japanese cavalry!"

"The Japanese cavalry is coming!"

"Northeast!"

Zhang Yong issued an alarm.

Everyone immediately skillfully hid themselves.

Because it is a plain area, there are not many places to hide. I can only lie down on the ground.

He has previous combat experience and can hide very quickly.

The Japanese cavalry seemed to have some urgent mission, and they were galloping on their way at night.

"Ta-ta-ta..."

"Ta-ta-ta..."

The sound of horse hooves is getting closer. But the alertness is not very high.

Zhang Yong raised his telescope and observed with the help of weak light, he found that there was actually a colonel in the Japanese cavalry team!

Hey!

Colonel!

Worrying is just an eyesore, hurry and look carefully!

After repeated confirmation, it was indeed the Japanese colonel.

Another captain!

Maybe the cavalry captain!

Got rich...

"Commissioner, Japanese colonel!"

Yao Ziqing also saw it through the telescope.

The whole person suddenly became eager to try. Obviously he wants to take action.

"Fuck him!"

Zhang Yong didn't hesitate at all.

Since it's fat meat delivered to your door, how can you let it go?

The generals of the Japanese invaders are very difficult to encounter. Colonel is already a ceiling-level officer. Killing one is one.

Zhao Zilong goes in and out seven times. Kill seven Japanese colonels by yourself...

Hey, it’s pretty cool just thinking about it.

When the time comes, I will have a great deal of confidence by clapping the table with He Yingqin!

Damn it, if you have the guts to go to the battlefield and kill the seven Japanese colonels first!

All my achievements are based on the heads of the Japanese invaders!

Silently monitor the Japanese cavalry.

It's just what God wants. The Japanese cavalry did not notice that there was an additional ambush and hurriedly passed by.

The distance is about three hundred meters.

Under normal circumstances, this distance is a bit far.

but…

Never mind.

"beat!"

Zhang Yong gave the order.

All weapons fire.
