Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 1332, friends

"look!"

"Plane debris!"

"What a big piece!"

Some soldiers picked up the wreckage of the plane and ran up excitedly.

At this moment, they were walking as fast as flying. Not tired at all.

Of the six planes that were hit, the wreckage of one landed on the river, and the other five all landed inside and outside the fortress.

After the three remaining Japanese aircraft were evacuated, the soldiers' greatest pleasure was to search everywhere for the wreckage of the Japanese aircraft.

This is a souvenir.

Very rare.

You know, this is a Japanese aircraft that was shot down!

What a rare opportunity it was to encounter a downed Japanese aircraft. Not to mention there are still six planes!

Six!

Six in total!

The number alone is exciting.

"Tuoba Spring!"

Zhang Yong suddenly shouted loudly.

The other party is an acquaintance. It's from the air force's liaison office in the fortress.

According to his duties, when the fortress is attacked by enemy air raids, he should report the situation to the national air force as soon as possible.

Then the National Air Force decided whether to dispatch aircraft for support.

But now…

Definitely no need.

Because Jinling University Airport was abandoned.

All remaining aircraft were evacuated to Hankou, Changsha, Luoyang and other places. Run far away.

The Army was not allowed to retreat. But it also allows the Air Force to run very fast.

Lao Jiang didn't know what the operation was.

"arrive!"

Tuoba Quan ran over in a hurry.

His face was tense. A heart filled with anxiety. I don’t know what Zhang Yong will ask.

The National Air Force has withdrawn. Naturally, the Liaison Office has nothing to do. Purely for decoration.

"You just retreat tonight!"

"retreat?"

"Yes. Everyone in your Air Force Liaison Office took advantage of the night to retreat."

"But…"

"This is my order! Just follow it!"

"yes!"

Tuoba Quan agreed.

He hesitated to speak. I don’t know what to say.

Logically speaking, he should be happy that he can retreat. But why...

Do you feel like you might as well stay in the fortress?

There is a sense of shame…

"chief of staff!"

"arrive!"

Du Songyue comes up.

Everyone around immediately fell silent.

"Send away all irrelevant personnel. Leave professional combatants behind."

"They can also pick up guns and fight..."

"It's not necessary anymore."

Zhang Yong shook his head. Holding on is impossible.

The Japanese invaders were powerful. And cunning. He believed that the Japanese invaders would soon come up with a solution.

Although he didn't know how. However, the Japanese invaders can definitely think of it.

Zhang Yong alone could not defeat so many Japanese invaders. He is not a god. There are always times when you lose sight of one thing.

There is always some kind of worry…

"Except for the original fortress garrison, everyone else was sent away."

"If anyone wants to stay..."

"Send away."

Zhang Yong's attitude was very firm.

Faintly, he felt that the fortress would fall tragically.

The Japanese battleships and a large number of aircraft carriers will launch attacks on the fortress in turns. There is no possibility of miracles.

The overall strength is too different.

The system does not have heavy weapons yet.

Can't beat it.

Rather than all die here. It is better to save some of your vitality.

There is still a lot of fighting ahead!

If the land is saved and people are lost, both people and land will be lost.

The people who survive lose their land, and the people and the land survive.

This is the strategy of great men. In fact, he can also copy it.

After killing a certain number of Japanese invaders and achieving the strategic goal, we must retreat decisively.

"Commissioner, you are worried..."

"There's nothing to worry about."

"No, you are worried that the Japanese invaders will bomb Jinling on a large scale, and then you will be assigned to defend Jinling and be forced to abandon the fortress, right?"

"I…"

Zhang Yong was silent.

Suddenly I understood what I was worried about.

Du Songyue gave the answer.

Yes, that's it.

The Japanese invaders will definitely think of this method.

They will bombard Jinling like crazy, forcing Zhang Yong to go to Jinling.

Jinling is the capital of the country and is more important than Jiangyin Fortress.

There are two million people in Jinling.

Under pressure from all sides, Chiang Kai-shek would definitely order Zhang Yong to go to Jinling.

Even if it was known that Zhang Yong had left Jiangyin Fortress, the fortress might fall.

The Japanese invaders are plotting. No solution.

Once Zhang Yong leaves Jiangyin Fortress, the Japanese invaders will launch a crazy attack here. Finally won.

At the same time, the Japanese invaders will continue to launch air raids on Jinling to contain Zhang Yong. Making it impossible for him to leave. In the end, they could only watch the Jiangyin Fortress fall.

If Jiangyin Fortress falls, the Japanese invaders will concentrate all their forces and storm Jinling.

There is no danger in Jinling.

In the end, it was unstoppable.

In the end, you can only give up voluntarily.

well…

It’s hard to support yourself!

Zhang Yong is the only one who has no skills at all times.

War is not a stage for one person. Not a personal hero. It's a team fight.

Facts have proved that the overall combat strength of the Fruit Party is really average.

It is certain that if Zhang Yong leaves Jiangyin Fortress, he will definitely not be able to defend it.

Even if Du Songyue died generously, it would not help.

"Commissioner, go ahead!"

"well…"

"I am responsible for guarding the fortress until the last person is left."

“…”

Zhang Yong was silent.

I don’t know what to say.

The joy of shooting down the plane was gone.

In fact, he had little joy.

A small tactical victory cannot make up for the huge strategic gap.

Before the Battle of Wuhan, the comprehensive strength of the Japanese invaders was indeed too strong.

The huge power accumulated by the Japanese invaders has not yet been released.

China is unable to resist.

Quiet.

Only the river breeze blows.

a long time.

"Wait for the arrangements from the headquarters!"

Zhang Yong said finally.

There is no need for words of comfort. No need for comfort.

The man's body was wrapped in horse leather. Sooner or later there will be such a day. Loyal bones are buried everywhere in the mountains...

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

Suddenly there was a gunshot.

Zhang Yong turned his head. Nothing unusual was found.

There was no riot.

Maybe a sentry shot?

"Somebody come!"

"arrive!"

"Go find out what's going on."

"yes."

Du Songyue arranged for someone to find out.

It turned out to be a false alarm.

They were left-behind personnel from the national navy, trying to come over and watch the fun. He was stopped by the fortress sentry with a shot.

As for why the sentry fired...

One of the sentries answered honestly, saying he looked down on naval men.

All his ships were sunk. There are no results. Not qualified to come and watch the fun.

The Japanese aircraft were all shot down by people from our fortress. What does it have to do with your navy? You guys go back to your side quickly, don’t come here...

Our fortress is here to kill the Japanese invaders. If your navy doesn't kill the Japanese invaders, get out of here!

"asshole!"

Du Songyue cursed in a low voice.

But that's just a show. There is no punishment at all.

In fact, Du Songyue also despised the fact that the national navy ended up like this. There are also people who look down on the navy.

Zhang Yong:…

Sure enough, disputes on land and sea exist in every country.

The same is true for the battle between land and air, and the battle between sea and air.

It's just in different degrees.

The performance of the national navy is indeed very poor.

It's normal to be despised.

but…

Is this their responsibility?

It doesn't seem fair to them either. They are also very aggrieved...

The plan was to sink the ships, block the waterway, and block all the Japanese ships in the Yangtze River.

As a result, the news leaked out and the Japanese ships escaped early.

In the end, it was all in vain.

Think about it.

In the end, you have to clean up this mess yourself.

After all, the command from the headquarters was to command all the troops around Jiangyin Fortress.

Among them, including the remnants of the national navy.

A navy with only men, no ships.

"Somebody come!"

"arrive!"

"Pass my order to have the navy personnel stay where they are and wait for further arrangements."

"yes."

"I will find time to meet with Commander Chen of the Navy."

"yes."

The communications staff officer agreed.

Turned to leave. As a result, he was stopped by Du Songyue.

Zhang Yong:? ? ?

What's going on?

Du Songyue whispered: "Commander Chen is not here."

"Not there? Where have you gone?" Zhang Yong vaguely thought of something. But the idea is not very clear all of a sudden.

"Going to Hankou."

"Yeah?"

Zhang Yong gradually understood.

It must be Chiang Kai-shek's arrangement. Transfer the chief general away. Let Zhang Yong give full play to his role.

Otherwise, if Chen Shaokuan was still here and Zhang Yong came, it would be very awkward for the two of them to meet. Zhang Yong himself was embarrassed. You may not be able to command freely. On the contrary, if Chen Shaokuan is transferred away, just like Zhu Shaoliang was transferred before, Zhang Yong can use his arms and fingers freely.

Objectively speaking, this is Chiang Kai-shek's thoughtful arrangement. Let Zhang Yong not be constrained.

However, this arrangement, in the eyes of outsiders, was a sign that Chen Shaokuan was running away from the battlefield. Naturally, you will be despised.

Alas, what an injustice...

"Commander Chen left Jiangyin because of me."

"Why?"

"Just like Commander Xu leaving Jiangyin Fortress."

"this…"

Du Songyue finally understood.

That seems to be the case? Both generals were transferred.

Then Zhang Yong came...

"The navy is still useful."

Zhang Yong said slowly.

But what's the use? Haven't thought of it yet.

What?

Mine?

That thing is actually difficult to control.

Do you think if you throw it in the river and it flows down the river, it will blow up the Japanese warships?

Not that easy.

Requires some skills.

so…

If you have time, you have to gather people from the navy to study it together.

well…

So busy…

"Report!"

A staff officer hurried over.

He held a telegram in his hand. His face was full of joy.

"What's up?"

"Reporting to the commissioner, this is a congratulatory message from the headquarters."

"read."

"yes."

The staff officer immediately read it loudly.

It was a clear telegram sent directly from the headquarters on the 95.27 MHz channel.

No need for translation.

Everyone and hearing.

Congratulations to Jiangyin Fortress for its achievements.

All meritorious officers and soldiers will be commended.

All members of the artillery crew received the seventh-class Baoding Medal!

At the same time, all members of the artillery crew were promoted to the first level.

but…

There was no mention of awards to Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong didn't care either.

He doesn't need accolades.

It seems that there is no reward that can stimulate him.

He wanted money, but Chiang Kai-shek didn’t have it.

If you want power, you have already given it.

Inspector of the Military and Political Commission, a position that was not very conspicuous before. No one paid attention at all.

However, with the emergence of Zhang Yong, the value of this position has been raised to the limit.

There is no position more suitable for him than this position.

Even if it is given to the theater commander, it will not be replaced.

because…

Theoretically, he can even supervise the commander of the theater!

"in addition…"

"What else?"

"Your Excellency, the 95.27 MHz channel has received many congratulatory telegrams. But they are all unsigned."

"I see."

"yes."

The staff officer turned and left.

Zhang Yong thought thoughtfully.

Lots of congratulatory telegrams?

No signature?

Then it's interesting.

Maybe there are people from Yan'an...

95.27 MHz will become more and more lively!

…

island country. Tokyo.

Japanese invaders base camp. General Staff.

"Bang!"

Someone banged the table hard.

Then…

Everything fell silent.

…

Yokosuka.

Japanese Navy Command Department.

A mysterious radio wave was emitted. Come to the East China Sea.

Hasegawa Kiyoshi received the report.

"I understand! Follow it immediately!"

…

Later in the night.

Jiangyin Fortress. pier.

Because it is located on the riverside, the fortress has many docks.

Formal. Irregular.

Army's. Naval. Civilian. All.

Almost all the ships of the national navy sank. The pier is empty.

Even though it was late at night, the pier was still busy.

It was the transport ships from Jinling that came one after another.

The leader is Li Yunyan.

They sent a lot of food. There are more than thirty ships.

Going down the river is actually very fast.

It happened to be night again, so there was no need to worry about air raids by Japanese aircraft.

But you have to leave before midnight. Go against the current. Otherwise, there is a risk of being attacked by Japanese air raids. Then there were heavy losses.

Zhang Yong appeared quietly at the dock.

He saw an acquaintance.

Zeng Guangyuan.

Here he comes.

Obviously looking for myself.

So he showed up silently.

"Boss Zeng, we meet again."

"Commissioner Zhang!"

"Let's talk."

"good."

Zhang Yong asked Zeng Guangyuan to sit aside.

The day's fighting was over. The Japanese invaders will not conduct air raids at night. The fortress is safe for now.

Perhaps it was the battle during the day that greatly boosted everyone's morale. Therefore, even at night, many people are too excited to sleep. No sleep at all.

A part of the people were organized to get on the ship and then send them away.

It will be sent to the north bank of the Yangtze River.

"Is Boss Zeng looking for me?"

"Yes."

"Please tell me."

"I just came back from Chengdu."

"oh."

"According to the organization's arrangement, I specially visited your mother and your two sisters."

“…”

Zhang Yong was silent.

Mother…

younger sister…

Very far away.

sorry.

He cannot see his relatives.

The last time he stayed in Chengdu, he didn't go to see them.

Can't see.

Otherwise, it will bring danger to them. Mortal danger.

Perhaps, because of time travel, he is not that close to them. Missing may be the best option.

Wait until the day of victory...

"Your eldest sister is married. Her husband is a middle school teacher."

"good…"

"My little sister is studying."

"good…"

"Your mother is not in good health. We have arranged an old doctor near your mother's house. If anything happens, he can take care of her in time."

"Thanks."

"You sacrificed a lot to fight. We all admire you."

"It doesn't count..."

"Someone asked me to give you two words."

"What?"

Zhang Yong was confused.

Then I saw Zeng Guangyuan writing on the desktop.

Two words: friends.

There is a signature below. Three words.

"this…"

My heart was shocked. incredible.

Then nodded.

Zeng Guangyuan erased the writing.

Quiet.

Everything is left unsaid.

Who gave him these two words. Can't say.

but…

Zhang Yong suddenly smiled.

I feel quite proud. Isn't it?

Drink tea.

a long time.

Zeng Guangyuan said slowly: "Jinling..."

"Dangerous." Zhang Yong shook his head, "We must hold on for about a month at most."

"Is it that bad?"

"The generals don't know the soldiers, the soldiers don't know the generals, and people's hearts are wandering, how can they be undefeated?"

"well…"

Zeng Guangyuan was about to speak but stopped.

No more words. Just sit silently.

Zhang Yong said goodbye.

What the other party wanted to say has been said.

He also told the answer the other party wanted to know.

One month is an optimistic estimate.

In fact…

well!
