Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 1442, cheer up

"Where is Mengcheng?"

"Your Excellency, here."

"oh…"

Zhang Yong looked at the pictures on the wall.

Headache.

Very unaccustomed.

It feels awkward.

He is really not suitable for sitting in an office!

Although, once, a cup of tea, a pack of cigarettes, and a newspaper to read for a long time were his dreams...

However, when all this became possible, he found that he couldn't sit still.

Not to that level.

A life of hard work, a life of hard work. It is still suitable for working hard at the grassroots level.

I used to be a squad leader, catching spies all day long, beating people and making money at the same time. I felt the happiest.

Now being captured by Chiang Kai-shek, he seems to be in a high position and strategizing, but in fact, he is really not used to it!

There seems to be no opponent...

Zhongtong no longer dared to bare his teeth in front of him.

Military commander, Boss Dai is a bit avoiding himself now. To avoid embarrassment for both parties.

Others…

They are all big guys. There are cities and mansions.

In front of them, I am completely transparent!

“Is Montreal important?”

"It threatens the safety of the Longhai Railway. If the Longhai Railway is cut off, Xuzhou will be surrounded."

"oh…"

Zhang Yong was thoughtful.

No wonder it was so tense.

It would be really bad if Xuzhou fell into a tight siege.

However, the current situation does not seem to be that bad yet. The Japanese invaders in the Pingjin area have not yet moved south...

"Which army is stationed in Mengcheng?"

"It's the 46th Army of the Guangxi Clan."

"oh."

Zhang Yong is very familiar with this number.

Because 50,000 pigs are related to the 46th Army. There is also an undercover general.

The most amazing thing is that after the undercover agent returned, he was not suspected. You can still lead troops. He is also a legendary figure.

"Where are the Japanese invaders?"

"The 9th Division and the 13th Division."

"oh…"

No wonder Mengcheng fell.

The Japanese invaders have sent out heavy troops.

The two divisions are attacking fiercely!

"Report!"

Another staff officer arrived quickly.

The originally leisurely pace seemed to have become tense.

"explain."

"Report, Japanese invaders captured Texas."

“Which Texas?”

"Dezhou, Shandong Province."

"oh."

Zhang Yong frowned.

The Japanese invaders actually captured Texas?

That is to say, the Japanese invaders in the Pingjin area began to move south?

He wanted to attack from the north and south and seize the Xuzhou area. Control the Central Plains. Open the Jinpu Railway? Big appetite…

"Which division of the Japanese invaders conquered Texas?"

"The 10th Division and the 14th Division. The Japanese 5th Division will also go south later."

"Three divisions?"

Zhang Yong felt vaguely that something was wrong. The Japanese invaders are very powerful.

Three divisions were actually dispatched. Even the Fifth Division came to join in the fun.

Isotani Rensuke, Doihara Kenji, Sakagaki Seishiro...

They are all cunning China hands!

Can't help but think of Han Fuju...

This self-righteous guy.

Expect him to guard the natural dangers of the Yellow River?

dream…

A staff officer came up and planted a red pennant at the Texas location. The original blue pennant was removed.

"Report!"

Another staff officer arrived.

Zhang Yong nodded. Be mentally prepared.

Guess it's bad news again.

Sure enough, the staff officer spoke.

"The Japanese invaders captured Tonglu."

"oh."

This is impressive.

Previously, the 48th Guangxi Army was resting in Tonglu.

Now that the 48th Army has left, Tonglu was immediately occupied by the Japanese invaders. The third theater is really...

Weren't there any arrangements for troops to take over the defense?

Or were the defending troops careless?

"Ask. Which army is stationed in Tonglu?"

"yes."

The staff officer turned and left.

Unconsciously, the atmosphere in the command post became tense.

To the north, the Japanese invaders occupied Mengcheng and Dezhou. Obviously they want to encircle Xuzhou.

To the south, the Japanese invaders captured Tonglu again and continued to advance westward.

Starting from Tonglu, heading west is Jiande, Quzhou, Shangrao and Yingtan. Then surrounded Nanchang.

It is equivalent to cutting the third war zone in half.

For a moment, looking at the map, it looked like a storm was coming.

Whether it is the south or the north, once the Japanese invaders penetrate deeply, the consequences will be serious.

but.

Calm down.

No big deal.

At present, the Japanese invaders are still taking the initiative. The offensive was certainly fierce.

The Japanese invaders will not stop attacking until Wuhan falls. Many places will fall in the future.

Just get used to it.

"The Japanese invaders are coming with great force!" Du Songyue said slowly.

"The main force of the Japanese invaders should be in the north." Zhang Weifan judged.

Zhang Yong remained silent.

He is using the empty finger map to spy on the overall situation.

The area covered by the empty finger map is too large, and it actually has some disadvantages.

Just some parts may be ignored.

For example, Montreal.

Who would have thought that the Japanese invaders would take action in Mengcheng.

In fact, the Air Force map shows that there are no Japanese heavy artillery around Mengcheng!

The Japanese 105mm heavy artillery closest to Mengcheng is still in Bengbu.

In the direction of Mengcheng, there was only the Japanese 75mm mountain cannon.

Simply looking at heavy weapons, this is indeed the case.

As for how many troops the Japanese invaders invested in Mengcheng, the Air Command map cannot show it.

The numbers are the two divisions of the Japanese invaders. However, the map does not show the exact number of troops invested.

Texas is too far away and beyond the scope of the Aerial Map.

In the direction of Tonglu, the Japanese invaders were also light infantry. Only the 75mm mountain gun was accompanied.

In fact, there are only twelve 75mm mountain guns. More are the 92nd Infantry Artillery.

Feeling…

The Japanese invaders were also considered one of the pinnacles of light infantry.

Before PLA came out. Not even one.

In terms of light infantry, no other world power can compare. Because they are all heavy infantry.

Maybe the Japanese invaders captured Tonglu with a single charge.

"Report!"

Another staff officer arrived.

Du Songyue and Zhang Weifan's expressions turned ugly.

Any more bad news?

Which place fell again?

How crazy were the Japanese attacks?

"explain."

"The 100th Army reported that they had a firefight with Japanese invaders thirty-five kilometers east of Luzhou."

"Um?"

Zhang Yong's eyebrows suddenly stood up.

The 100th Army exchanged fire with the Japanese invaders? Are the Japanese invaders marching towards Luzhou (Hefei)?

View the empty finger map. No abnormalities were found.

The display is blank.

No artillery. There are no tanks. Nothing.

It was probably a small force of Japanese invaders. Carry only light weapons. The purpose may be reconnaissance.

"Can you get through to the 100th Army?"

"able."

"Get connected immediately."

"yes."

Zhang Weifan went to make arrangements.

Zhang Yong looked at the map.

The Japanese invaders are firing on all cylinders!

Launch an all-out attack on multiple fronts. The one who comes is not good.

By the way, the Japanese invaders' newly appointed commander of the Central China Expeditionary Force, Shunroku Hata, could no longer hold himself back so quickly.

It seems that the power accumulated by the Japanese invaders may exceed their imagination.

The Japanese invaders can also manufacture more weapons and equipment with their current resources.

resources in the three eastern provinces.

There is also scrap steel from the beautiful country.

The latter is very important.

Most of the steel used by the Japanese invaders to build the Yamato battleship was refurbished with scrap steel from the beautiful country.

At this moment, in the vast Pacific Ocean, merchant ships from the Japanese invaders, or merchant ships from the beautiful country, are continuously transporting scrap steel to the Japanese invaders' homeland. And probably oil and rubber. These are important resources for the Japanese invaders to launch a war of aggression.

so…

Chiang Kai-shek was indeed naive to expect mediation from other countries. How can it be possible to mediate when others are making a lot of money from doing business? Who can refuse the money that is delivered to your door?

It's best if the fight between the two of you is more intense, the better. I do business on both sides...

This kind of business cannot stop until the Japanese invaders infringe upon the interests of the beautiful country.

A staff officer arrived.

"Report, the one taking charge of Tonglu is the 62nd Division. Division Commander Tao Guang."

"Yeah?"

"The 48th Army all left the day before yesterday. But the 62nd Division has not taken over the defense today. The Japanese invaders took advantage of it."

"Well…"

Zhang Yong frowned.

Whose responsibility is this?

Read the error-free version at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

It's because the third theater is not connected, right?

The 48th Army left Tonglu and headed for Anqing, which was his order from Zhang Yong.

The third war zone was also notified. The Third War Zone also agrees. Said that other troops would be arranged to take over the defense.

Why did Tonglu suddenly fall before the defensive troops arrived?

Take it lightly?

Careless?

Do you think the Japanese invaders might not come so quickly?

result…

Okay, another bad debt.

Gu Zhutong will definitely not admit that it is his responsibility.

It is impossible for him, Zhang Yong, to admit it.

Finally...

Act like nothing happened.

After all, everyone is a confidant.

It is impossible for the envoy to give Zhang Yong a slap in the face and Gu Zhu the same slap in the face.

Now that it has fallen, find a way to take it back.

If you can't get it back, you can only admit the cruel reality.

well…

I’m really not used to it!

It's so awkward here. It's all just talk on paper.

All I heard was bad news.

No wonder someone wants to summon him back to be his door god.

Otherwise, I would receive all kinds of bad news every day, and no one would be able to bear it!

Zhang Yong is fine. Knowing that the final victory belongs to China.

As long as we survive eight years, we will win.

However, others don’t know!

The committee members don’t know either.

Therefore, he is anxious. nervous. Insomnia. Hair loss…

Thinking that he might become the king of the country.

You may have thought about surrendering.

In short, suffering day and night is inevitable.

When Lushan was speaking, he still had some hair. It seems like they are basically all naked now.

well…

Look at Juniper Mountain.

Look at Zhang Weifan.

The two of them were also worried. I guess everyone thinks the prospects are very pessimistic.

After this series of Japanese offensives, from south to north, countless territories fell. How many national troops will be lost in the battle?

Will China perish?

Will the Chinese nation sink again?

It is estimated that both of their minds are shrouded in shadow.

well…

I need to cheer up.

Right now, looking at the whole world, only he, Zhang Yong, can help others cheer up.

"Somebody come!"

"arrive!"

"Get on the phone with the commander of the Third War Zone."

"yes."

Du Songyue went to make arrangements.

After a while, someone came to report, and the 100th Army call was answered.

Pick up the phone.

"Hello…"

"Mr. Commissioner, it's me, Long Muhan."

"Commander Long, how many Japanese invaders did you encounter? Are there any fighting breaking out elsewhere?"

"About a squadron. More than a hundred people. They briefly exchanged fire with us and quickly retreated. There were more than thirty corpses left behind. There was no exchange of fire in other areas."

"Okay. Be more vigilant and guard against Japanese aggressors' sneak attacks."

"clear."

Hang up the phone.

View the empty finger map.

No Japanese heavy weapons were found moving towards Luzhou.

It should be the Japanese invaders who are conducting reconnaissance. To determine the location of the main force of the national army.

The Japanese invaders are attacking north and must protect their flanks. This is the most basic military common sense.

It would undoubtedly be better if we could capture Luzhou.

So, will the Japanese invaders launch an attack on Luzhou? It’s hard to say…

The current situation looks very messy. In fact, it was all planned and premeditated.

The Japanese invaders' strategy was to launch along the Jinpu Railway.

This is the top priority.

Before the Jinpu Railway is opened, it is impossible for the Japanese invaders to attack the third theater.

Because Jinling itself is not safe. As long as Xuzhou is still in the hands of the national army, Jinling will be threatened.

Therefore, the battle in the third theater should not be the main attack.

The fall of Tonglu may have been an accident.

"Report, the call from the Third War Zone Commander's Department has been connected. Commander Gu is online."

"good."

Zhang Yong picked up the microphone.

Gu Zhutong is very sincere. You have to take care of yourself too.

They are all clinging to the advice of others. Now we need to be consistent with the outside world.

"Sir Gu..."

"Commissioner Zhang..."

"I heard that there was a small problem in Tonglu..."

"Yes."

"Sir Gu, do you need me to go and solve it personally? I will personally lead the team to take back Tonglu."

"No need. Commissioner Zhang, it's better for you to stay in Jiujiang. This is the commission's order."

"Okay. If you need anything, just ask me."

"good."

The conversation was still pleasant.

They are all confidants. There is no need to quarrel in front of the committee members.

Zhang Yong's attitude is very clear. If necessary, I will do it myself. Go and take back Tonglu. Block the Japanese attack.

If I, Zhang Yong, went there in person and couldn't take Tonglu, I wouldn't come back.

Just like in Luodian before, in Dachang.

Or Purple Mountain.

I, Zhang Yong, will go down personally, and the ground will be blown down three meters.

The other party obviously doesn't want him to appear.

If Zhang Yong were to leave, it would appear that Gu Zhutong was incompetent.

so…

The third theater should concentrate its forces to regain Tonglu.

And Mengcheng…

If necessary, you can also go off personally.

Fly directly to Xuzhou Airport and then go to Mengcheng. Lead a counterattack. Push the Japanese invaders back to Bengbu.

Zhang Yong is really not good at talking on paper.

However, he is very good at fighting on the front line.

As for Texas…

Forget it.

Han Fuju didn't welcome him...

Du Songyue is back. Take a telegram.

Feeling so busy.

There are many telegrams.

There is no way, who told war to break out everywhere?

Even as a backup, there is so much information received. One can imagine how busy the headquarters itself will be.

"What's the content?"

"Han Fuju called again and asked to withdraw the 69th Army."

"Order the 69th Army to withdraw from Jinan."

"this…"

"Since others don't welcome you, then withdraw!"

Zhang Yong looked calm.

If the battle is fought like this, the enemy will eventually be lured in.

The Japanese invaders marched three divisions south and fought head-on, which was not cost-effective.

Luuring it to Weishan Lake, which is near Taierzhuang, should be a good choice.

Once the Japanese invaders were surrounded here, neither the Japanese invaders from the north nor the Japanese invaders from the south would be able to quickly reinforce them.

"Evacuate to where?"

"Go east. Retreat to Zibo and other places. Stay hidden and standby."

"good."

Du Songyue drafted a telegram.

After Zhang Yong read it, he confirmed it was correct, signed it, and sent it out.

Hide the 69th Army. When the Japanese invaders crossed Jinan and moved southward, reaching Taierzhuang and other places, the 69th Army immediately came out from behind to block their retreat.

Can it be done?

have no idea. But give it a try.

If the Japanese invaders really surrounded one or two divisions, Zhang Yong would personally end it.

The Japanese invaders will have to shed their skin even if they don't die.
