Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 1353, National Thief

Heading south quietly.

The radar map soon showed a large number of red dots.

a lot of.

More than 800 people. Judgment could be a brigade.

Can't chew.

He Zhang Yong now only has a hundred cavalry.

The Japanese invaders all gathered together. No loose ends. There is no chance for a sneak attack.

Moreover, once the gun is fired, all the Japanese invaders will know.

Slow down and go around.

Continue south.

The radar map again shows a large number of red dots.

Another brigade of Japanese invaders. There are more than nine hundred people. Fully armed. Hedgehogs gather together.

Can't chew.

Had to go around again.

Continue south.

Discover…

Can't chew...

Bypass…

continue…

Five Japanese aggressor groups were discovered in a row.

A Japanese brigade headquarters was also discovered.

However…

There is no chance of a sneak attack in any of them.

The Japanese invaders camped in large groups at night and were very vigilant.

Even if they are attacked by a large number of Chinese troops, a large group of Japanese invaders can hold on for a while and hold back the Chinese troops.

As soon as day breaks, the Japanese aircraft will be dispatched to carry out indiscriminate bombing of the national troops.

In fact, the Japanese invaders' worries were unnecessary.

At this moment, the national army is busy making repairs and has no strength to take the initiative.

The national troops retreating from the Songhu battlefield suffered heavy casualties. Many were too late to add. Some divisions only have two or three thousand men.

The 67th Army and the 100th Army, which Zhang Yong is responsible for supervising, are the first to be supplemented.

A total of about 30,000 new soldiers were recruited.

Other troops do not have such privileges.

The number of new soldiers recruited from the rear was seriously insufficient. There are too many monks and too little porridge.

Even the two ace divisions 87 and 88 are probably not fully replenished yet.

Even if the temporarily mobilized strong men are sent to the military camp, they must first undergo basic training.

If you don't even know how to shoot a gun or basic tactical moves, what's the difference between you and a farmer holding a fire stick?

On the battlefield, there is no use except dying in vain.

The same is probably true for the Central Education Corps and the Traffic Corps.

Therefore, around Jinling, it seems that there are many troop numbers, but in fact the combat effectiveness is greatly reduced.

If we are talking about the Songhu battlefield, the combat effectiveness of the troops was still 30, but now it may be less than 15.

The shortfall is serious.

Too many recruits.

Suddenly I remembered something.

It seems that I can check the situation of certain division-level troops.

Open the system panel.

Check out Wang Yaowu's 51st Division.

[Soldiers: 5263]

It's really bad.

There are only more than 5,000 people in the entire division.

It is estimated that some new recruits were added inside.

Also check out Huang Wei's 67th Division.

[Soldiers: 4480]

Worse.

There are only more than 4,000 people in the entire division.

Keep checking.

The 87th Division has seven thousand three hundred men...

The 88th Division has seven thousand five hundred men...

No need to look at the rest.

The two ace divisions each have only 7,000 men, and the other divisions will have even fewer.

He Zhang Yong can replenish weapons and ammunition. But there is no way to replenish troops. However, the party's mobilization ability is always a big problem.

How many people can be mobilized without mobilizing the masses at the bottom and relying solely on local gentry to do things?

There are so many ordinary people in Jinling. There are many young adults. But it seems that the Fruit Party has not been effectively organized.

Later, in Stalingrad, everyone was in arms...

Anyone who can pick up a gun is on board...

"Commissioner."

Sun Dexi came up to ask for instructions.

There was no chance to kill the Japanese invaders, so I was still a little unwilling.

However, if you continue to go south, it will be too deep. Once the gun fires, you may be surrounded.

Zhang Yong waved his hand.

"No chance tonight. Go back."

"yes."

So retreat.

He returned to Jinling angrily.

In the middle of the night, he presided over the funeral of the fallen soldiers.

Return to the Presidential Palace.

bath.

sleep.

It's good to have hot water.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yong was actually blessed to enjoy it.

wake up.

I found it was already nine o'clock in the morning.

First check the empty finger map. Nothing unusual. The Japanese invaders did not dispatch any planes.

Wash up.

Pack it up.

Have breakfast.

Then head to the garrison headquarters.

He was going to talk to Dean Tang face to face about some matters.

"I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything." Dean Tang looked obviously depressed, "Commissioner Zhang, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

"Dean Tang, has the garrison headquarters considered gathering all the young adults in Jinling, integrating them into the army, and distributing weapons?" Zhang Yong said bluntly, "There are so many young adults in Jinling..."

"No."

"Why?"

"People's hearts are unstable."

"Um?"

Zhang Yong frowned.

People's hearts are unstable?

What's the meaning?

Are you still worried that the people of Jinling will rebel?

no. You have too little confidence in yourself. Are you actually afraid that the people of Jinling will rebel?

Therefore, we dare not recruit young men into the army or issue them with weapons. As a result, the Japanese invaders broke into the city and a large number of young and middle-aged people were killed...

One of the important reasons for the Japanese aggressors' crazy killings was that they were worried that they would not be able to control the situation.

There is no need to leave so many excellent soldiers aside...

Are your brains showing off?

"Actually, the general mobilization order has been issued..."

"What's the result?"

"There are very few applicants..."

"Yeah?"

Zhang Yong was dubious.

Later I believed it again.

The general mobilization order is issued, but someone still has to execute it!

A large number of grassroots cadres are needed to do ideological work among the masses and mobilize the masses.

It’s not like you just post a few notices and people will come to sign up in a steady stream.

However, mass work is the party's weakness.

In other words, it is taboo.

I am afraid that once the people wake up, they will rise up and cause trouble.

The effect of the general mobilization order can be imagined.

What kind of **** is this...

"Dean Tang, the current shortage in the army is very serious."

"I know!"

"That…"

"I have requested timely replenishment from the high command."

"ask?"

"That's right! Whether it is replenished in time is a matter for the headquarters."

"Well…"

Zhang Yong suddenly felt that he was in the wrong place.

It seems that I don't need to be so active. The big guys are not in a hurry, why are you anxious?

He is a nobody.

By chance, at the right time, we fell into the magnificent river of history.

You may witness history yourself. But history cannot be made.

Those big names in history would not agree.

Farewell.

Return to the Presidential Palace.

Since the general mobilization order has no effect, then...

Drive people away!

Drive everyone out of Jinling.

How many can be driven out?

If you don't want to leave, there's nothing you can do.

To be honest, he no longer wants to stay in Aurous Hill. I want to go back to Jiangyin Fortress.

There are no other big guys over there. He, Zhang Yong, said whatever he said. You can do whatever you want. Even if it breaks the sky, no one will care.

"Somebody come!"

"arrive!"

"Drafting an order, I am preparing to collect defense tax in Jinling."

"Your Majesty Commissioner, what is the defense tax?"

"All ordinary people who stay in Jinling must pay five oceans each as tax money to consolidate national defense and resist foreign humiliation. Those who are unwilling to pay, or have no money to pay, should all get out of Jinling!"

"yes…"

The staff officer muttered secretly in his heart.

This order from the Commissioner may cause an uproar.

Five oceans per person, that's really terrible.

How many people can afford it?

The Commissioner is really crazy about money!

Drafting completed.

Zhang Yong finished reading.

signature.

issue.

Copy to the Garrison Headquarters, Gendarmerie Headquarters, and Police Headquarters...

Then…

Zhang Yong went to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum.

Garrisoned anti-aircraft gun emplacements.

I wonder if the Japanese planes will come today?

Suddenly I feel like a girl in love, worried that the other party will not come, and also worried that the other party will mess around...

result…

The Japanese plane did not arrive.

All right. It’s okay if you don’t come. Enjoy your leisure time.

the next day…

Didn't come.

The third day…

Didn't come.

Day four…

Didn't come.

Jinling suddenly became very quiet.

Zhang Yong was sleeping in at the headquarters of the anti-aircraft artillery regiment. Nothing to do. Only sleep.

The Japanese invaders also seemed to be very quiet.

There is no fighting in Jiangyin Fortress. I don’t know what the six divisions of the Japanese invaders are busy with.

Outside Jinling, the Japanese invaders did not approach too closely. Maybe gathering strength?

Look at the date…

Today is December 6th…

There is fighting in the direction of Guangde.

The Japanese invaders were attacking Guangde, Langxi and other places.

However, the specific situation of the battle is unknown. The headquarters did not issue a notification.

"Ring ring ring..."

"Ring ring ring..."

"Sir Commissioner, I have a call for you."

"oh."

Zhang Yong went over and took the microphone.

I found out that the call was from Gu Bafeng.

"Is something wrong?"

"Shaolong, have you heard any rumors from the outside world recently?"

"What's the rumor?"

"You are said to be a traitor to the country. Everyone will kill you if you find it."

"Why?"

"It's not the national defense tax you enacted..."

"What's the problem?"

"You are now the target of public criticism. Haven't you read the newspapers? The newspapers are scolding you for shaking the morale of the military and the people..."

"Yeah?"

Zhang Yong said that he really didn’t know.

Don't like reading newspapers.

In fact, I most want to hang out in the Qinhuai River.

The problem is, Dean Tang is no longer willing to help pay the bill. If he had to pay for it himself, he would be reluctant to do so. For this kind of thing, prostitution is the most comfortable...

If the top girl could give a little more...

"The high command has refuted the rumor. It said there is no such thing as a defense tax."

"oh…"

"besides…"

"Just tell me. I can handle it."

"When the commissioner was talking to many elders, he said that you were young and ignorant..."

"Any more?"

"The commissioner particularly emphasized that we will never give up the capital."

"What?"

Zhang Yong didn't pay much attention to the previous ones.

But Lao Jiang's attitude later made him feel very bad.

They had quietly withdrawn five divisions before, which made it clear that they wanted to give up Jinling. Why did you suddenly change your mind again?

Make knitting!

Just tell me why it’s been so quiet these days.

It was as if news from the outside world had been blocked from him. It turned out that everything was turned upside down.

The Medal of National Light has become a national thief...

"Dean Tang has made a public statement today, vowing to live and die with Jinling."

"What?"

"It was just announced. It will be published in the newspaper tonight."

"Well…"

"Dean Tang also said that the people of Jinling should not panic. The national army has enough strength to defend Jinling, and the Japanese invaders cannot win..."

"oh."

Zhang Yong didn't want to talk anymore.

Sure enough, everything you do is in vain.

I wanted to do something, but I ended up being called a traitor to the country. Everyone gets it and kills it.

hehe…

National traitor…

Previously, he was awarded the Order of Guoguang and was a great meritorious official. In the blink of an eye, he became a national traitor.

Tired...

Let's go back to Jiangyin Fortress.

That's your own territory. No matter what you do, there is no problem.

but…

etc…

"Bafeng, are there any changes in the troops stationed in Jinling?"

"The 88th Division and the 87th Division have been transferred back. Other troops will also be transferred back one after another."

"I understand. Thank you."

Zhang Yong hung up the phone. Suddenly he laughed at himself.

You really think you are a big shot! In fact, you are a clown!

I swear to live and die with Jinling!

Ha ha!

Never give up the capital!

Ha ha!

Damn it, the slogans were shouted so loudly!

Then keep your promise! Don't get slapped in the face! Especially the one named Tang!

If you die in Jinling, you will be wise forever!

But you are the fastest! You will be infamy for eternity!

"Ring ring ring..."

"Mr. Commissioner, I have your phone number."

"good!"

Zhang Yong took the microphone.

Feeling very bad.

As a result, I found that there was no sound on the other end of the microphone, and I suddenly became even more irritated.

"Are you mute? Speak!"

"Zhang Yong, it's me, He Yingqin."

"you?"

Zhang Yong was stunned.

It's actually him?

What's going on?

Why would he call me?

It seems that you are not familiar with the other person?

"What's up?"

"You should go back to Jiangyin Fortress immediately!"

"What's the matter?"

"Nothing can be done. There is still a glimmer of hope to defend Jiangyin Fortress."

"I…"

"I firmly demand that Jinling be abandoned. Bai Chongxi, Xu Yongchang and I agree. Jinling is undefeated. But the commissioner disagrees. The diplomats are negotiating with the Soviets on the issue of aid. The commissioner needs to hold on to Jinling and let the Soviets I think we still have hope, you know?”

"knew."

"that's all."

The other party hung up the phone.

Zhang Yong smiled helplessly. Slowly put down the phone.

So that's what happened.

Orders are changed in the morning and evening.

You have to defend for a while, give up for a while, be indecisive and undecided.

He was uncertain and lost completely.

This is what happened on the Songhu battlefield. Now it's happening again.

I always look at the faces of foreigners...

What a pity for those brave soldiers of the national army. Ruined ruthlessly...

However, what can he do?

The caller was He Yingqin. Instead of serving as Director Lin of the Attendant Chamber.

It shows that Chiang Kai-shek does not want Zhang Yong to stay in Jinling, so as not to affect the "military morale" and "people's morale".

Soviet aid was important. Zhang Yong can only be "wronged" by him.

Alas, let’s go back to Jiangyin Fortress.

Lei Xinghu approached cautiously.

"Commissioner?"

"I'm leaving."

"Where to go?"

"Jiangyin Fortress."

"You don't care about us?"

"yes."

Zhang Yong didn't say much.

Lei Xinghu stood stunned on the spot. driven to distraction.

The Commissioner just left like this?

no. Don't care about the anti-aircraft artillery regiment?

He left, and the anti-aircraft artillery regiment...

Don't...

Why is this happening?

Why?

The Commissioner fought so well...

Zhang Yong picked up the microphone.

"Help me pick up the 67th Army headquarters. I'm looking for Commander Wu."

"yes."

The call was answered quickly.

Wu Keren answered the phone.

"Commissioner..."

"I'm going back to Jiangyin Fortress."

"Now?"

"right."

"Because of the rumors from the outside world?"

"You know?"

"Know…"

"The national traitors cannot stay in Jinling. They can only run away."

"Mr. Commissioner..."

"The Japanese invaders will attack soon. Prepare for a fierce battle."

"Mr. Commissioner..."

"that's all!"

Zhang Yong hung up the phone. Turn around and leave.

No nostalgia at all.

National thief!

What qualifications do you have to stay in Jinling!

Get out of here!

Come to the dock.

I happened to see Li Yunyan.

Just get on board.

"Go to Jiangyin Fortress."

"you…"

"What? You don't want to send a national traitor to Jiangyin Fortress?"

"You are too harsh in asking for money. I also think you are going too far."

"yes!"

Zhang Yong shut up.

sit down.

Close your eyes and rest your mind.

From then on, I couldn't hear anything outside the window.

Li Yunyan was about to speak but stopped. Finally the order was given to sail. Go down the river.

Swinging...

Returned to Jiangyin Fortress smoothly.

Get off the boat.

Li Yunyan caught up.

He hesitated to speak.

Zhang Yong turned to look at her, "If you have anything to say, just say it. I'm very thick-skinned. I can bear it."

"You shouldn't reach out to the people for money." Li Yunyan said slowly, "I know you are a good person. But, you are really wrong about this. You can't reach out to the people for money!"

"Li Yunyan."

"do what?"

"If you understand one day, you can give me three babies."

"you!"

Li Yunyan's eyebrows suddenly stood up.

angry.

Zhang Yong turned a blind eye.

"In a month at most, you will understand."

"Keep talking nonsense! I'm not done with you!"

"goodbye."

Zhang Yong turned around and left.

Never looked back.

Behind him, Li Yunyan bit his lip. Stomping your feet hard. Get on board.

"Commissioner."

"Commissioner."

Du Songyue, Cheng Zhigao, Long Muhan and others came up to greet them.

They are all at Jiangyin Fortress.

After the indiscriminate bombing by Japanese aircraft, there was suddenly silence again.

However, they don't feel relaxed.

Anyone who is not a fool can feel that this is the calm before the storm.

The calmer it is at this moment. The storm gets more violent when it comes. But it's okay. Zhang Yong is back. He can stop all storms.

"How many Japanese invaders are there outside the fortress?"

"As far as the information we have is concerned, currently there is only the 16th Division of Imago Nakajima."

"In other words, all the other Japanese invaders are gone?"

"Probably going to Jinling."

"oh."

Zhang Yong was indifferent.

Went to Jinling. That is to prepare for an onslaught.

Never give up the capital...

Vow to live and die with Jinling...

Hopefully some people can do it.

but…

After thinking about it, I finally couldn't let it go completely.

"Cheng Zhigao."

"arrive!"

"Free up all your troops. Leave the defense line to the 100th Army."

"yes."

Cheng Zhigao agreed.

He and Long Muhan looked at each other in confusion. Not sure why.

What does the Commissioner want to do?

"Wear light, get on the ship, practice, and be ready to set off for Jinling."

"Departing from Jinling?"

"right."

Zhang Yong did not elaborate.

It was the last thing he could do.

At the last moment, he led the 103rd Division to control Jinling Xiaguan Wharf.

Maintain order.

Cover the retreating troops crossing the river.

As for the rest, he was really powerless.

Rub your face.

Cheer up.

It seems like the Navy side...

Should we do something?

"Somebody come!"

"arrive!"

"Call the person in charge of the Navy's stay."

"yes."
