Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 1328, the red sun rises

"Nani?"

"Zhang Yong is at Jiangyin Fortress?"

"Sou Ga..."

After hearing the news, Nakajima Konsogo's eyes suddenly lit up.

Zhang Yong!

Jiangyin Fortress!

That Zhang Yong is in Jiangyin Fortress!

With the blessing of Amaterasu, the opportunity has come!

As long as the 16th Division conquers Jiangyin Fortress and kills Zhang Yong...

His name, Nakajima Jingo, will definitely become the headlines of newspapers!

He will become a celebrity that attracts the attention of all the people of the Japanese Empire!

Imperial conferment of honors…

Golden Eagle Medal…

There will definitely be!

No!

Zhang Yong must be captured alive!

We must capture Zhang Yong alive and send him to Tokyo!

Put Zhang Yong in a cage.

Acting like a monkey.

The entire Imperial Japanese Army hates Zhang Yong with all his heart! I wish I could crush him to ashes!

Bunzaburo Kawagishi…

Susumu Fujita…

Yamamuro Munetake…

Hisao Tani…

Yoshizumi Ryosuke…

Too many divisions suffered losses under Zhang Yong.

To this day, the Sixth Division and the Ninth Division are still quarreling over the loss of the Heavy Artillery Regiment.

The commander of the dispatched army, Matsui Iwane, had a head as big as a bucket. Base camp cannot make a judgment either. I have no choice but to make peace. Agree to return Hisao Tani Heavy Artillery Regiment.

At the same time, the base camp prioritized the deployment of thirty-six 105mm heavy cannons from the rear, reorganized a heavy artillery regiment, and handed it over to the command of Yoshizumi Ryosuke.

Yoxi!

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity!

Must catch!

And, don’t let others take it away!

Especially the 18th Division. Just behind the Sixteenth Division. They cannot be allowed to take a share of the pie.

"chief of staff!"

"Your Majesty, Division Commander, please give me your instructions."

"Assemble all troops immediately and launch an attack on Jiangyin Fortress."

"Your Majesty General, the heavy artillery regiment hasn't arrived yet..."

"No need. We will attack immediately."

"Tie!"

The chief of staff rushed to deploy.

It completely understands Nakajima's current state of mind. Just eager to perform.

Among so many division commanders, Nakajima Jingo is older. But he was promoted to lieutenant general very late. Therefore, results are urgently needed.

Take down Zhang Yong!

Capture Jiangyin Fortress!

That’s the record!

Especially the former!

It will definitely be a life highlight!

because…

That Zhang Yong!

Now he is the target of public criticism!

From the dispatched troops to the base camp, everyone hated this Zhang Yong!

"Report!"

"Dispatch an urgent call from the Army Headquarters."

A staff officer hurried over.

Telegram in hand.

The chief of staff stretched out his hand to take it. Finished reading. He looked stern.

Turning around, he said to Nakajima Imamago: "Your Excellency General, Commander Matsui wants us to launch an attack immediately and not give Zhang Yong a chance to escape!"

"Yo Xi! Just what I want!" Nakajima nodded to me, "Deploy immediately and launch an attack!"

"Yes!" The chief of staff did not dare to neglect. No more deductions, just give orders directly.

Order the troops of the 16th Division to immediately march towards Jiangyin Fortress. No matter how far the distance is, we must come immediately.

At the same time, the troops approaching Jiangyin Fortress immediately launched an attack.

Destroy the enemy while moving without making any mistakes.

"Didi!"

"Tick tock!"

As the telegram was sent. The Japanese invaders immediately went crazy.

The Japanese invaders belonging to the 16th Division all gathered frantically towards Jiangyin Fortress.

It turned out that some Japanese invaders were already fighting with the national troops in other places. After receiving the order, immediately withdraw from the battle. March quickly towards Jiangyin Fortress.

The national army in front of them was confused. Don't know what's going on. So I didn't pay attention.

"boom…"

"boom…"

Near Jiangyin Fortress. The battle began to rage.

But Zhang Yong didn't care at all. He also took no part in the fighting. Instead, think about it behind the scenes.

Should we withdraw the 100 troops stationed in Suzhou to Jiangyin Fortress?

There is only the 103rd Division of the Guizhou Army, which is insufficient in strength. Unable to fight back effectively. It's easy to get into a tug of war.

The counterattack must be swift. It must be solved in one night.

It has to be fast and hard. A fatal blow.

Another army he is responsible for supervising, the 67th Army, has now retreated outside Jinling City.

According to the arrangements of the headquarters, the 67th Army is responsible for garrisoning Zijin Mountain. That is the commanding height around Jinling. It must be the object of crazy competition by the Japanese invaders.

It is conceivable that once the Japanese invaders approach Jinling, the 67th Army will definitely be in a hard fight.

Arranging the 67th Army in Purple Mountain was probably He Yingqin or Chen Cheng's suggestion. They all use Zhang Yong's troops to fight the most difficult battles.

In name, the troops he oversees, Zhang Yong, have strong combat effectiveness and are worthy of trust. But in reality, the troops were depleted as they fought.

But Zhang Yong had no objection.

Stationed at Purple Mountain. Very much what he meant.

As long as the Purple Mountain is defended, the Japanese invaders will not be able to enter the city. Will be attacked condescendingly.

In fact, as long as you guard the Purple Mountain, you can do a lot of things.

Therefore, the 67th Army cannot move.

Only 100 troops can be mobilized. Because Suzhou can be given up.

Abandoned Suzhou and retreated to Wuxi. Just enough to shorten the front line. It forms an angle with Jiangyin Fortress. It can also intercept Japanese invaders.

However, abandoning Suzhou requires an order from the headquarters. That is, Chiang Kai-shek allowed it.

Asking for instructions is troublesome. But don’t ask for permission. Lao Jiang was very stingy. Asking him to give up a place is like cutting off his flesh.

In my impression, Chiang Kai-shek never seemed to give up a place on his own initiative.

They all require you to stick to it and stick to it...

It's exactly the same as the mustache.

Then the place was gone. The defenders are gone too. Alas! Being pushed back.

I have to think of a workaround...

"boom…"

"boom…"

A shell fell nearby.

Zhang Yong didn't care at all.

They are all small-caliber artillery shells. 92 Infantry Artillery.

Before the arrival of the Japanese 150mm howitzers, he was not afraid at all.

Even if it is the Japanese invaders' 105mm heavy cannon, he has a way to stop it.

final…

Make up your mind.

Duan Xingdao was ordered to command the 167th Division to fight in Suzhou to intercept the Japanese invaders.

Duan Xingdao was from the 100th Army. He was there, indicating that the 100th Army had not left. The main force of the 100th Army happened to retreat secretly to Wuxi.

What?

Maybe someone will sue you?

Whatever!

You will be outside, and your orders will not be accepted.

Lao Jiang said it himself. The troops near Jiangyin Fortress are all under my command.

Then I mobilize the main force of 100 troops, what's the problem?

"Somebody come!"

"arrive!"

"Send the report!"

"yes!"

…

Chongqing.

Shajiaping. Military Command Chongqing Station.

Military unification was formally established. Li Boqi is still the webmaster of Chongqing Station.

adversely affected by the war ahead. More and more personnel, equipment and facilities began to migrate to the rear.

Chongqing, this land and water terminal, has begun to gain prominence.

It can be reached by boat.

Stay away from the battlefield.

High mountains.

The road is rough.

No matter how ferocious the Japanese invaders were, they probably would not be able to invade Chongqing.

As a result, some powerful big bosses or senior officials started to buy real estate and settle down in Chongqing. This mountain city began to become more and more prosperous.

As the commander of the military command station, Li Boqi almost kept his word before other officials arrived.

Everyone knows his relationship with Zhang Yong. Zhang Yong is also the inspector general.

What's more, there is also the relationship with He Guoguang.

"Tuk-tuk!"

"Tuk-tuk!"

Li Jingzhi quickly arrived outside Li Boqi's office.

Knock on the door.

"Come in."

Li Boqi's voice came.

Li Jingzhi walked in holding the telegram folder. stand at attention.

"Webmaster, I have a telegram from Zhang Yong."

"read."

"Clearly coded telegram. Content: I am Zhang Yong! I'm waiting for you at Jiangyin Fortress! Come on!"

"To whom?"

"It should be the 16th Japanese Division."

"I understand. Go ahead! Call Lin Yifeng."

"yes."

Li Jingzhi agreed. Put the telegram down. Then turned and left.

Soon, Lin Yifeng, leader of the action team, arrived.

"Stationmaster."

"Is Cheng Jushu still in Chongqing?" "Yes. Unloading goods."

"Ask him to speed up unloading, then load up the food and head to Jiangyin Fortress immediately."

"food?"

"Yes. Full of food. Don't need anything else. Just food. You can **** it personally."

"If Commissioner Zhang Yong is in Jiangyin Fortress, you must obey his command. If not, take the people in Jiangyin Fortress aboard and evacuate."

"Evacuate to where?"

"Withdraw to Yangzhou. Then transport food from Yangzhou to Jiangyin Fortress."

"clear."

"If you encounter someone on the way, use the name of our military commander. Or report Commissioner Zhang's name. If the other party continues to obstruct, shoot and kill."

"clear!"

"Go!"

"yes!"

Lin Yifeng agreed.

Turn around and leave in a hurry. Go to the dock to find Cheng Jushu.

By coincidence, Cheng Jushu's cargo ship had finished unloading. So the dock coolies were immediately mobilized to load grain overnight.

A lot of grain is transported from central Sichuan. Prepare to be transported to the front line. There were piles of stuff everywhere around the pier. In the name of military command, they were transferred on the spot.

More than a thousand tons of grain were loaded overnight. Then he immediately went down the river and rushed to Jiangyin Fortress.

Subsequently, more ships were requisitioned by Li Boqi to transport grain down the river. Set off towards Jiangyin Fortress.

…

Jinling.

Li Yunyan hurried back.

It was urgently recalled by the organization.

"Your fleet has an urgent mission."

"What mission?"

"Immediately transport all the grain transported from Hankou to Jiangyin Fortress."

"Jiangyin Fortress?"

"Yes. Zhang Yong is there."

"Understood."

Li Yunyan nodded.

The impression of Zhang Yong came to mind.

It's a bit complicated.

It seems that he is not one of his own.

But it doesn't seem like they are enemies.

He was quite powerful at killing the Japanese invaders.

Is he short of food?

Not sooner.

With such a big food account, how could there be a shortage of food?

With her fleet, she can send him thousands of tons of food. Even if there are 100,000 people in the fortress, they can still eat for several months!

Arrange now.

The fleet is fully loaded.

All are packages of grain.

Go down the river.

Head to Jiangyin Fortress.

…

"Report! Zhang Yong is at Jiangyin Fortress!"

"Report! Zhang Yong is at Jiangyin Fortress!"

"Report…"

The news exploded instantly.

At first, Zhang Yong casually made up the number 9527.

I originally thought that this frequency could belong to me. Unexpectedly, it quickly became a public channel.

Anyone who is concerned about the war situation will arrange a special radio station to monitor this frequency.

Among them was the Consul General of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai, Akiyama Shigekui.

"He is in Jiangyin Fortress..."

Akiyama Shigekui's face was gloomy. The heart is neither up nor down.

This is a great opportunity. Zhang Yong can be eliminated. Eliminate this hidden danger.

The information fed back by the military headquarters was that two main divisions, the 16th Division and the 18th Division, were launching an attack on Jiangyin Fortress.

They were preparing to seize Jiangyin Fortress from land. That way you don't have to bother Navy Red Deer.

Because of the previous cooperative operations, Navy Red Deer was already very agitated.

The Red Deer Navy gained nothing and lost two battleships. A destroyer. A light cruiser.

Zhang Yong's clear telegram was also received by the Navy's Red Deer.

However, Navy Red Deer has a scientific attitude and seriously does not believe it.

It is said that General Yamamoto Isoroku has requested to investigate the details. Otherwise, it makes no sense logically.

How did Zhang Yong sink the light cruiser?

What weapon did he use?

torpedo?

What type of torpedo?

Who provided it?

"Ring ring ring..."

"Ring ring ring..."

The phone suddenly rang.

It was a call from Army Red Deer.

Probably Matsui Iwane.

Akiyama Shigekui waited for a moment and picked up the phone.

It turned out to be Matsui Iwane.

"Akiyama-kun, I have a favor to ask you."

"Matsui-kun, you're welcome. Please tell me."

"Please ask the consulate to send someone to Jiangyin Fortress to make contact with Zhang Yong."

"Contact? What do you mean?"

"Persuade him to surrender."

"Matsui-kun, please forgive me, I'm afraid this is a fantasy..."

"Of course I know. My purpose is not to really persuade him to surrender. It is to use the Chinese people's counterintuitive tactics to drive a wedge between him and Jiang."

"Separation? Matsui-kun, can you speak more clearly?"

"I will cut off all external aid from Jiangyin Fortress. I will trap Zhang Yong to death until he withers away completely."

"What do you want me to do?"

"When releasing news to the outside world, just say that Zhang Yong has frequent contact with us."

"There's no way he's going to surrender."

"Of course, surrender is impossible. However, he may be self-reliant and want to dominate one side! He wants to establish himself as king in Jiangyin Fortress!"

"this…"

Akiyama Shigekui felt that the other party's IQ was worrying.

Although he is an army general. But it doesn't seem very smart.

What use is such an old-fashioned approach to Zhang Yong?

"Qiu Shanjun, do what I want! I have only one purpose, which is to cut off foreign aid from Jiangyin Fortress, and then trap Zhang Yong to death!"

"Understood."

"As long as there is no external assistance from Jiangyin Fortress, Zhang Yong will die in my hands sooner or later. Mr. Qiu Shan, you should be happy to hear the news of his death."

"certainly…"

"Then just wait for my good news!"

"good."

Akiyama Shigekui hung up the phone.

Sit back silently. think.

If it was just such a simple purpose, it wouldn't be that difficult.

There is a serious lack of trust among the Chinese people. As long as Zhang Yong is isolated, the Jiangyin Fortress will not be able to receive external assistance.

When the time comes, Army Red Deer will mobilize more troops and attack from land, and it will indeed be possible to win.

The cannons of Jiangyin Fortress are aimed at the river. Rather than targeting the land behind. It is entirely possible for the Army Red Deer to defeat it.

"Somebody come!"

Arrange someone to execute it immediately.

…

Yangzhou.

dark night.

canal.

Boats of all sizes were crowded.

All the ships were either filled with food. Either it's full of people.

This was the support sent to Zhang Yong by the eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou.

Not only is there a lot of food. There are also more than 3,000 young men.

Zhang Yong is at Jiangyin Fortress.

They also received clear telegrams.

Being so close, of course emergency assistance was needed.

There are people who need people!

Want something!

Even people who don't understand military affairs know that as long as Zhang Yong holds Jiangyin Fortress, Yangzhou will be safe.

On the contrary, if Jiangyin Fortress falls, the Japanese invaders will march straight in. While attacking Jinling, it may also threaten nearby Yangzhou.

Jinling has the elite of the national army. But not in Yangzhou. Therefore, Yangzhou is more dangerous.

Others will not care about Yangzhou's life or death.

Only Zhang Yong.

Only then can it be possible to protect the safety of Yangzhou.

…

Wannan. Near Xuancheng.

A ragged and ill-equipped army was marching.

They are different from the general national army. The mental outlook is very good. Morale is high. Even if he is wearing straw sandals, his steps are as fast as flying.

If Zhang Yong were here, he would definitely recognize these people.

They were all Red Army soldiers secretly released from Nanchang Prison.

However, they now have a new identity. It is the newly formed Fourth Army of the National Revolutionary Army.

They are marching towards southern Jiangsu. They are the advance team.

They are about to arrive in Sunan.

When the red sun rises, its path shines brightly. Their arrival will open a new chapter.

Of course, Zhang Yong didn’t know all this.
