Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 1341, Turtle Shell

"boom…"

"boom…"

The shells fell in the middle of the Japanese invaders' ranks.

Japanese invaders were constantly being killed and injured. Broken limbs and broken arms were flying everywhere.

At the beginning, the Japanese invaders didn't care.

Being bombarded is normal. It's not a large-caliber artillery.

They are not afraid at all. Continue to attack bravely.

Pigs charge, they are the best at it.

The fanatical Japanese invaders ran as fast as the others.

Then gradually I realized something was wrong.

Huh?

Why is the artillery fire so fierce?

Why are there so many shells?

There was almost no pause. The explosions continued.

The most terrible thing is that the artillery shells seem to have been chasing the Japanese invaders' team without any deviation.

No matter how fanatical the Japanese invaders were, they were all blown to pieces.

The Zhutu charge was quickly blown apart.

"Baga..."

The Japanese captain realized something was wrong.

This is not a charge.

It's basically sending him to death.

It seemed that his regiment was being targeted by Chinese artillery.

If bombed all the way, the casualties will be very high. Perhaps more than half of them were lost before they even encountered the enemy.

no.

This cannot continue.

Hastily ordered the troops to stop the attack. Lie down on the spot. Take cover.

At the same time, report to the brigade department. Request instructions.

The brigade and regiment headquarters reported to the division and regiment headquarters. As a result, I was scolded by Nakajima Jingo.

"Baga!"

"coward!"

"What kind of artillery fire do the Chinese have?"

"assault!"

"Otherwise, I will commit seppuku!"

Nakashima is furious now. Swearing into the phone.

The brigade leader over there didn't dare say a word. After being scolded, he immediately ordered the commander of the unit to launch an assault.

The opponent was ordered to capture the enemy's position within three hours.

Otherwise, the assistant officer will commit seppuku and apologize!

The so-called assistant officers are major assistant, lieutenant assistant, and senior assistant.

Of course it is not enough for a captain to commit seppuku. All the subordinate officers of the entire regiment will commit seppuku.

"Baga!"

"Kill Jiji!"

"Kill Jiji!"

The Japanese invaders suddenly became ferocious.

There is no retreat.

Seppuku is also death!

The group leader is a major, the chief of staff is a lieutenant, and the wing leader is a colonel.

If the mission is not completed, no one will survive.

As a result, the Japanese invaders launched another Zhutu charge. Rushing upwards like crazy.

result…

Good luck has come.

No more shelling.

The Chinese are out of artillery shells?

good!

Very good!

Just know that the Chinese artillery fire cannot last long.

"Kill Jiji!"

"Kill Jiji!"

So, the Japanese invaders rushed up crazily.

Then I saw the black muzzle of the gun. Then fierce flames were sprayed out.

"Tu tu tu tu..."

"Ta-ta-ta..."

Various light and heavy machine guns opened fire violently.

There are also machine guns that join in the fun. All kinds of firepower swept away.

In an instant, the Japanese invaders rushing in front were completely annihilated as if they were submerged by a huge wave.

"ah…"

"ah…"

The Japanese invaders behind also kept screaming and falling down one after another.

Whether it is a 20mm rapid-fire gun or a 12.7mm large-caliber machine gun, the range is very long.

If you miss the Japanese invaders in front, you will also hit the Japanese invaders in the back.

After a round of strafing, almost no Japanese invaders dared to show up.

Or die.

Either hurt.

Or lie on the ground and dare not move.

These large-caliber weapons are used to attack protected targets. For pure infantry, it is completely a dimensionality reduction strike.

Of course, the mountain cannon is not without shells. But there is no need to continue bombing this enemy.

Just let the remaining enemies be dealt with by the infantry.

The mountain artillery battalion only attacks long-distance targets.

Raise your hand. Look at the watch.

It's around four in the morning. It's almost time.

It will be dawn at six o'clock.

After daybreak, Japanese aircraft may appear.

The team must be withdrawn to the starting position before the Japanese aircraft are dispatched. Mountain artillery must also be well camouflaged.

At the same time, Sulotong machine guns must be deployed near the mountain cannon.

If the Japanese aircraft came to attack the mountain cannons, they would just use the mountain cannons as bait to clear up the Japanese aircraft.

As long as two, three, or three or four are hit, the Japanese invaders will lose more than they gain.

"Somebody come!"

"arrive!"

"Order the 103rd Division to withdraw to the fortress."

"yes."

"Order the 100th Army to withdraw to the starting position and get as close to the fortress as possible."

"yes."

The staff officer immediately went to deliver the order.

Zhang Yong was thoughtful. Something seemed to come to mind.

Base area…

Right, according to the Red Party.

In fact, the basic meaning is the same. There just has to be a base.

The wounded need to be treated.

Warriors need rest.

It is impossible to wander in the wild all year round.

Later aircraft carriers would be so big that they would dock once every few months!

The most fundamental reason for Li Zicheng's failure was that he had no reliable base. There is no basic disk.

Rogue bandits…

It's hard to accomplish anything big.

The most important point that great men emphasize is to build a good base area. Everything is possible only when there is a base.

Once the base is lost...

The Long March was actually very miserable.

If given the choice, no one would want to do it a second time.

Jiangyin Fortress is, for the time being, Zhang Yong's base. It's his base.

The wounded can be taken in there.

Preliminary processing is possible. Then evacuation.

As long as the Japanese warships did not enter the Yangtze River waterway, the waterway would be safe.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the Japanese invaders do not have extra aircraft to bomb ships on the Yangtze River. Even during the day.

Therefore, the Yangtze River waterway can be used to transport supplies and even soldiers to the fortress.

As long as the Yangtze River waterway is open, Jiangyin Fortress will not be alone. It's not a dead place.

I had thought about giving up the fortress before, but I was actually hasty.

Hold on for a while first.

Use this as a base to beat the Japanese invaders a few times first.

As long as the Japanese invaders dared to approach Jiangyin Fortress, he would dare to beat them. Dare to attack. After the fight, run back.

The Japanese invaders have been circling the west side of Taihu Lake. It is not a big deal to make such a large circle. It must be directed at me, Zhang Yong. I fought with my back to the fortress. hey-hey.

What to do with the previous retreat order?

It doesn't matter.

Non-combatants still have to be evacuated.

Some of the useless equipment and facilities will be removed as well as those that can be removed.

In the end only the combatants were left. There are also combat weapons.

The space freed up can accommodate more troops. The 100th Army and the 167th Division were also stationed in the fortress as much as possible.

Taking turns stationing.

Take turns to rest.

Recharge your batteries. Only then can we continue to fight.

"Commissioner!"

Long Muhan hurried over.

Waved his hand. Ask those around you to step aside for a moment.

Zhang Yong looked at him doubtfully.

Got a secret?

"Commissioner, I received an order from the Military and Political Department..."

"What's the content?"

"You want me to lead an army to break out of the encirclement and move closer to Jinling immediately."

"What do you think?"

"This is asking me to die! The Japanese invaders have already come from Yixing. Once I leave the position, the Japanese invaders will catch up and I won't be able to get rid of them. In the end, the whole army will be annihilated."

"Give me the telegram."

"yes."

Long Muhan handed the telegram to Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong reached out and took it. Not shredded. Instead, look carefully at the content.

That's right, it's a telegram from the Ministry of Military Affairs. He Yingqin's.

"There is no need to call back." Zhang Yong said bluntly, "If the Military and Political Department wants to ask, just call back and say, I have the telegram in my hand."

"Yes." Long Muhan agreed. Heartbroken.

Government has many doors.

Very big head.

Order from the headquarters...

Order from the Ministry of Military Affairs...

Sometimes, there will be fights.

The Ministry of Military Affairs is a permanent institution.

The headquarters is a temporary organization.

In terms of power, of course the headquarters is the highest. The envoy will personally lead it.

However, the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs controls the weapons and ammunition, logistics supplies, soldier supplies, etc. of all troops, and does not dare to offend easily.

It is estimated that only people like Zhang Yong can directly look at Minister He's face.

"Boom boom..."

"Boom boom..."

The sound of gunfire in the distance became fierce again.

But it was the 103rd Division that launched the siege against the remnants of the Kunisaki detachment.

Since you want to withdraw, of course you have to clean up your hands. The purpose of attracting reinforcements from the Japanese invaders was also achieved.

Of the hundreds of Japanese invaders left, we must not be able to keep any of them.

"Hurry up and withdraw!"

"yes."

Long Muhan immediately went to make arrangements.

Soon, the officers and soldiers of the 100th Army began to retreat.

Because there is no need to clean the battlefield or anything, the retreat is very fast.

All the wounded and so on were sent to the fortress for treatment.

There is a fortress, which is actually quite nice.

The fort also has a dock where seriously wounded people can be sent to the rear.

For example, send it to Hankou. Or somewhere else. It's far away from the battlefield anyway. Can be treated with peace of mind.

This is very important for troop morale.

The fortress is safer than Jinling.

Even if Japanese planes come to bomb us, there is no need to worry.

As long as the Commissioner is here, the Japanese invaders' planes will be dead. It’s basically just here to deliver food.

[Ten thousand tons of cement will be delivered soon]

The system suddenly prompted.

Zhang Yong:? ? ?

etc!

etc.

What?

cement?

Ten thousand tons?

faint! What do I want this for?

Does the system also provide cement? Is the number still that exaggerated?

stunned…

Then nodded.

If you dare to give, you dare to receive.

Use it however you want. Calm down.

Carrying the Garand semi-automatic, we came to the 167th Division.

The 167th Division is responsible for breaking up the rear.

The one currently fighting the Japanese reinforcements is the 167th Division.

Duan Xingdao was straddling a ridge with his left leg, leaning out his upper body, holding a telescope to carefully observe the movements of the Japanese invaders.

This posture is completely that of a standard Red Party commander and fighter!

The national army rarely does this.

The national army usually lies down. To ensure safety.

Only the Red Army would directly stick out more than half of its body. Nothing to be afraid of.

"Duan Xingdao!"

"arrive!"

Duan Xingdao jumped down in a hurry. Turn around.

Zhang Yong waved his hand. Indicate him not to stand at attention and salute. Something to say.

"Fight and retreat."

"clear."

"Pay attention to air defense after dawn."

"clear."

Duan Xingdao agreed one by one.

This is all common sense. Of course he knew.

But it was obvious that it was impossible for Zhang Yong to just give these basic common sense instructions when he arrived in person.

"Pretend to be a failure..."

"What?"

"Pretend to be unstoppable and let the Japanese invaders catch up all the way."

"clear."

Duan Xingdao knew there would be something to come.

It turns out that the commissioner wanted to attract the Japanese invaders to continue heading north. Create a fighting chance for tonight.

In fact, the closer the Japanese invaders are to Jiangyin Fortress, the more opportunities they have. Because you don't need to attack too far to make contact with the Japanese invaders.

A night of fierce fighting. The battle ended before dawn and retreated into the fortress.

The Japanese invaders could only stare.

The fortress is the turtle shell.

It cannot be beaten or eaten.

But there it is.

"Just throw some junk on the road. Act like it."

"Commissioner, don't worry. I'm familiar with this. I've used it often before. Many white dogs have suffered from me."

"That's fine."

Zhang Yong didn't say much.

This guy, all the white dogs have appeared.

Luckily no one else heard it. otherwise…

"I…"

Duan Xingdao realized that he had said the wrong thing.

He is currently leading the 167th Division, and he seems to be a white dog. The identity changes too quickly. Not used to it yet.

"Gone."

Zhang Yong turned and left.

How to arrange it specifically is Duan Xingdao's business.

He is not a master of micro-management like Lao Jiang. His micro control is to hold the gun to the enemy.

When I have nothing to do, I carry the Garand semi-automatic around randomly.

It would be better if there is a red dot that slips through the net.

Unfortunately, not yet.

After being blasted repeatedly by heartless cannons, the soil was all loose.

Once you step down, the loose soil can bury your calf. Fortunately, he was strong enough to ignore these resistances. Still walking fast.

Switch maps.

Find the gun camp.

Follow the artillery battalion in action.

Soon it will be dawn.

I thought the Japanese plane would take off soon. It didn't.

There were no Japanese aircraft within the one-hour flight circle on the aerial map. Very quiet.

Confuse…

What are the Japanese invaders doing?

You made such a big noise last night, and the Japanese invaders didn't take revenge?

Does the plane keep its cubs? Why didn't you take action?

He didn't know that at this moment, the Japanese invaders were going through a fierce storm.

The storm came between Matsui Iwane and Yanagawa Heisuke.

Matsui Iwane wants to deal with Zhang Yong.

Yanagawa Heisuke wants to march to Jinling. Be the first to capture Jinling.

Jinling is the capital of China. If we can capture Jinling, it will undoubtedly be a very dazzling achievement.

It stands to reason that Matsui Iwane is the commander of the front army and Yanagawa Heisuke is just the commander of the army. The latter should obey the former unconditionally.

The problem is that Yanagawa Heisuke is under the direct command of the base camp.

The Japanese invaders' base camp also often played some tricks. He was unwilling to hand over all his troops to the command of Matsui Iwane.

Just like the later Japanese 11th Army, its establishment was subordinate to the Central China Front Army, but its command authority was subordinate to the dispatched army. Even directly under the base camp.

The positive effect is to prevent a subordinate from being domineering and relying on his own troops. Or it can be done in a positive and negative way. Don't follow instructions.

The negative is that it may cause confusion in command. causing the two to fight.

Now, Yanagawa Heisuke and Matsui Iwane have basic differences.

One wants to deal with Zhang Yong. Revenge.

One wants to seize Jinling. Success and fame.

The two of them each had their own reasons for arguing. So the attack was temporarily suspended. Waiting for the decision from the base camp.

"Commissioner."

"Commissioner."

Zhang Yong returned to Jiangyin Fortress smoothly.

The journey was uneventful.

The Japanese invaders did not send any planes, and everyone was safe and sound.

Marching in broad daylight with great swagger. No pressure at all.

"Commissioner."

Du Songyue came to greet him.

Zhang Yong nodded. Dust yourself off.

The power of the heartless cannon is unspeakable. However, there is really a lot of dirt.

Everyone who came down from the battlefield looked like a clay figure. Everything on his body is covered with dirt. No matter how you take the photo, you can’t get it clean.

There was dirt inside the ears, inside the nostrils, and even inside the belly button.

No matter how hard I pick at it, I can't get it clean.

"Chief of Staff, you came just in time. Please arrange for everyone to take a bath by the river!"

"In case of a sneak attack by Japanese invaders..."

"It's okay. I'll give you advance warning. One hour is enough."

"That's good."

Du Songyue then sent someone to make arrangements.

Suddenly, all the soldiers were extremely happy.

"Come on!"

"Come on!"

Everyone ran wildly towards the river.

Although it was the end of November, the river was a bit cold. But who cares?

The battlefield was so **** and cruel that they were not afraid. Afraid of cold water? Of course, if you are afraid of the cold, no one will force you to get into the water.

"Plop!"

"Plop!"

One by one the clay dolls jumped into the river.

The river water is indeed cooler. However, you will get used to it after a few flutters.

"Commissioner!"

"Commissioner!"

Zhang Yong is here.

My body is too dirty. He also has to plop a few times.

He took off all his clothes directly on the shore, naked, and then plunged into the river.

This action greatly inspired other soldiers. The Commissioner is naked. What are you still hesitating about? Are you even shyer than the Commissioner?

So everyone stripped naked and jumped into the river.

"Plop!"

"Plop!"

After a while, the river became very lively.

There are white stripes everywhere. Fully releasing the tension and fatigue after coming off the battlefield.

Zhang Yong also flopped in the water for a long time. Let the river wash you clean. Ears, nostrils, belly button, all soaked clean.

On the river, there were transport ships from the upper reaches, docking at the fortress dock in twos and threes.

It's all support from the rear.

There are soldiers, supplies, dry food, and medicine.

The medicine is of course traditional Chinese medicine. As long as it is a variety of traditional Chinese medicine for healing and stopping bleeding.

Most are for external use. Debridement. bandage. Apply medicine. This was the process at that time.

Only a very few doctors know how to dig out bullets and suture them.

The dry food is hot. You can eat it as soon as you get it.

Suddenly something occurred to me.

Found an acquaintance.

Qu Ying.

That girl from Yangzhou.

The second young lady of the Qu family?

Once with Su Youxi. She is here too.

So he plunged into the river and swam to the side of the transport ship. Just climb up.

Qu Ying seems to be the only **** the transport ship. He is not afraid either. What are you afraid of? Not afraid of death.

Of course, only the fruit party would dare to do this.

If you are on the Red Party side, you are acting like a hooligan and will be imprisoned.

"ah…"

Qu Ying happened to see him and was immediately embarrassed and anxious.

I thought someone was playing hooligans! Unexpectedly, it was Zhang Yong himself! This big bad guy!

Ahhhh, this big bad guy actually doesn’t wear any clothes...

Cover your face. Peeping through the gaps between fingers.

It turns out that men are like this...

"Commissioner."

Qu Yaxian couldn't laugh or cry.

Find a set of clothes for Zhang Yong. Ask him to put it on.

Seeing so many soldiers flopping in the river next to him, he knew it well.

It must have come from the battlefield. Venting in the river.

Fighting against the Japanese invaders, I don’t know how many casualties there were. Those who can survive are the lucky ones!

"How is the situation over at Jinling?" Zhang Yong asked.

"It's very bad." Qu Yaxian shook his head slowly, "It's a mess and there's no rules."

"Really?" Zhang Yong nodded. Noncommittal.

In fact, Qu Yaxian sees the problem very accurately.

There is no charter.

There is just no unified command.

Very deadly.

You do your thing and I do mine. I won't listen to you. You don't listen to me either.

You are already inferior to others in terms of strength, but if you stage another brawl like this, how can you be undefeated?

Thinking of the telegrams from the General Headquarters and the Military and Administrative Department...

It’s also a mess!

well…

"For you."

Qu Ying brought snacks. Her face was flushed.

Just now, she saw everything. Shy.

"Thanks!"

Zhang Yong directly brought the plate over.

I didn’t say anything, just gobble it up. I'm really hungry. Still very hungry.

Keep your head down and eat hard.

Gagged and full.

I almost choked and couldn't breathe.

Qu Ying suddenly felt heartbroken.

he…

How hungry are you?

I can’t even get enough to eat!

no!

She is responsible!

You have to let him finish his meal!

Shy…

Feeling elated again...

She wants to take care of his food!
