Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 1457: Too little success, too much failure

Return to the dock.

Soldiers from the secret service battalion were carrying down the body of the robber.

Xu Kang was watching from the side. Logarithms one by one. He's going to report it.

Nothing is trivial when it comes to foreigners...

Zhang Yong originally stood aside and watched, but suddenly he rolled his eyes and had some ideas. So he came to Xu Kang.

"Commander-in-Chief Xu..."

"Commissioner Zhang, thank you. Fortunately, it was you who took action personally..."

"Has Jiu Wenlong's body been carried down?"

"Haven't seen it yet..."

"Then you help me declare to the outside world that Jiuwenlong was captured alive. I took him away."

"You want to..."

"Investigating the mastermind behind it. I suspect there is someone behind Jiu Wenlong."

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Of course, Xu Kang hurriedly agreed.

It is best to leave this matter entirely to Zhang Yong. Zhang Yong is the professional.

It doesn't matter whether there is anyone instigating it or not.

As long as Commissioner Zhang said someone was instigating it, then someone was instigating it.

As for who this person is, you should ask Commissioner Zhang. Anyway, it has nothing to do with our Jiang Defense Corps.

After a while, Jiu Wenlong's body was identified.

Zhang Yong directly sent someone to take him away.

What's the use?

The instigator behind the deception. If there is really someone behind the scenes.

If the person falls into his own hands, the person behind Jiuwenlong will definitely not be able to sit still.

Return to Jiujiang Advance Command Post.

Before my **** gets hot, a staff officer arrives.

"Report!"

"What's up?"

"Commissioner, a British woman calling herself Catherine is calling you."

"Take it."

Zhang Yong nodded.

Catherine? Negotiate by phone?

Do you want to take Dayang back? Absolutely impossible…

No one can **** the ocean that falls into Zhang Yong’s pocket.

The phone rings. Pick up the phone.

"open…"

"You have something to say."

"What are Sirius' casualties?"

"What Sirius?"

"That's the hijacked ocean freighter! It belongs to the East India Company."

"Oh. I thought it was Harry Potter..."

"What did you say?"

"Nothing. I have taken care of the matter. Three hostages died unfortunately. The other thirty people were rescued."

"Who are the robbers?"

"The initial suspicion is that it is Brother Pao. There may be someone behind the scenes. I have captured the leader alive. The answer should be there after a trial."

"That's good."

"Is everything okay?"

"It's okay. I was just asking."

"Is everything really okay?"

"It's okay! What? Do you miss me?"

"I…"

Zhang Yong stopped talking.

Confuse.

Catherine didn't mention the ocean?

I don’t know. Or do you think it’s useless to mention it? So you just didn’t mention it?

Seriously. In today's China, who doesn't know that Zhang Yong is desperate for money. Once the money is in his hand, it’s difficult to take it out!

but…

"Miss Catherine, I have something to tell you."

"What's up?"

"The cargo list given by the dock on the Sirius freighter you mentioned is more than one hundred tons of peanuts. However, I found that there are many oceans hidden in the peanuts. They are all sealed. Currently, I am counting, and the specific amount is unknown. ”

"Silver dollars?"

"Yes."

"Then I'll give it to you. Don't touch the peanut."

"Don't you want to know more?"

"Then let me tell you one thing. It may have been done by my colleagues."

"Your peers?"

"The East India Company is a big company with many people, each with his own path. If you take money from certain people, you may offend certain people."

"Oh. That's okay."

"Be safe! Others are not vegetarians!"

"good."

Zhang Yong nodded.

OK. No one else is vegetarian. I am the only one who is vegetarian.

Others are soldiers, agents, killers, and special forces. All of them were very arrogant.

I'm just a rookie. Weak chicken. You can't lift it with your hands or carry it on your shoulders. Even in bed...

Uh-huh, so embarrassing. I feel so weak...

Nothing happened today.

Listen to the music.

dream…

Suddenly he became crazy as a teenager. How about writing Harry Potter first?

result…

Forget it, I forgot to write when I picked up my pen.

A low-ranking 211 science student who didn’t even finish reading Dream of Red Mansions.

I just read one or two chapters of Yun Yu Qing. Do you want to write about Harry Potter? It’s almost enough to write a Qin Keqing who is a fan of Liu Bei…

The night passed quietly.

Wake up the next morning. Check out various maps first. Nothing unusual.

The Japanese fighter jets were very quiet and did not move out.

Wash up. Have breakfast. Then come to the war room.

Du Songyue came forward, "Commissioner, the 145th Division reported that the Japanese invaders in Wuhu have retreated. They have entered Wuhu."

"Okay. Tell them to keep a low profile." Zhang Yong nodded, "Don't provoke the Japanese invaders for the time being. To avoid causing unnecessary trouble."

"Understood." Du Songyue went to send a telegram.

Zhang Yong looked at the map of Kongzhi Department. It was discovered that there were indeed no Japanese tanks and heavy artillery in Wuhu.

Track east. It was discovered that they had retreated to the Ma'anshan area.

It is very close to Jinling. It is impossible for the Japanese invaders to continue to give in.

In fact, the withdrawal from Wuhu was probably highly controversial within the Japanese invaders.

They finally withdrew, which can only show one thing, that is, the Japanese invaders attach great importance to the Battle of Xuzhou.

Determined to win. There is no room for error.

We must concentrate all resources, troops, and energy to capture Xuzhou.

In the direction of Xuzhou, the national army was under heavy pressure.

Originally, the Japanese invaders heading north had seven divisions. About three more may be invested in the follow-up.

Adding the three divisions from the north to the south, there are thirteen divisions. Strong military strength.

Calculated based on an average of 20,000 people per division. The number of troops is close to 300,000.

It can be described as a heavy blow to the Xuzhou area.

On the contrary, the national army is around Xuzhou, although there are many troop numbers. But many of them are made up.

The actual strength may only be more than 300,000. There may only be a few hundred thousand elites.

Let’s not talk about the gap in firepower. Simply speaking, the military strength is a disadvantage.

Don't expect those scrappy troops to play a big role.

"Report."

After a while, Zhang Weifan came again.

He handed Zhang Yong a compiled troop establishment list.

It's about the 184th Division.

The 184th Division reported the relevant situation in detail via telegram.

Currently, there are more than 9,000 people in the 184th Division. The soldiers have almost recovered. Weapons and ammunition are also available.

Along with them, there was also Chen (Chang) Enduo of the National Army. There were about six thousand people.

The two divisions fought together to resist the Japanese invaders moving north.

"Chen Enduo? 111th Division of the Northeast Army?"

Zhang Yong was impressed.

He used to be a member of the Northeastern Army and was affiliated with the 57th Army.

But before Zhang Yong went to Xi'an to inspect, the 111th Division had already moved to the Central Plains.

Therefore, Zhang Yong has never seen this Chen Enduo.

The once huge Northeastern Army has now been split into pieces. A little here, a little there.

The original high-ranking officials of the Northeastern Army were either retired and idle at home. Either he will be replaced and assigned to other positions. Or maybe they were loyal to Chiang Kai-shek.

The general trend has passed, each one is fragmented, and as a whole, the Northeast Army no longer exists.

However, at the division level, there are still many originating from the Northeastern Army. The main body is also the Northeast Army. There may be more than thirty more.

"Commissioner, this Chen Enduo was once imprisoned for collaborating with the Communist Party."

"Together? When did it happen?"

"Three years ago. Autumn 1935."

"oh."

"During the Northwest Incident, he also commanded troops to exchange fire with the national army trying to invade Xi'an."

"Oh. That's okay."

Zhang Yong was thoughtful. Expressing no concern for the 111th Division.

If the estimate is correct, there should be Red Party elements in this 111th Division. Endo Chan may end up being one of them.

The disbanded Northeastern Army was the most dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek. I am very happy to cooperate with the Red Party in the fight against Japan.

In the end, he was gradually influenced. Then they became the troops of the Red Party.

And he, Zhang Yong, is an out-and-out "reactionary". Of course, it is impossible to have much interaction with Chen Enduo.

Otherwise, he's probably fine. But something might be wrong with Endo Chen.

This is causing trouble for the Red Party.

So, it’s best to keep your distance.

If anything happens, it can be handled through the 184th Division.

The 184th Division is the Yunnan Army. The big boss of the Yunnan Army is still alive, so Chiang Kai-shek doesn't dare to go too far.

Study the map silently.

In this battle of Xuzhou, the Northeastern Army was everywhere!

If you count the 68th and 69th armies, the Northeast Army has at least four army numbers participating in the war.

The other two armies are the 51st Army and the 57th Army. The commander of the 51st Army is Yu Xuezhong. The commander of the 57th Army is Miao Chengliu.

Zhang Yong has some understanding of the former. But I don’t understand the latter at all. Suddenly, I admired Li and Bai's mediation and coordination abilities. The fifth theater itself is also a hodgepodge.

There are not a few main troops of the Gui family, but there are a lot of miscellaneous forces.

Northeast Army, Northwest Army, Sichuan Army, Huangpu direct line, Huangpu collateral line, Guangxi line, Yunnan army...

Oh, and there are local snakes, Han Fuju’s Lu clan...

If you go a little south, there is another Han Delin.

Everyone has his own little ninety-nine.

It is really difficult to condense into a rope.

The problem is…

It would be impossible to encircle and annihilate the three divisions of the Japanese invaders if they were all scattered.

On the southern front, we must withstand the fierce attack of seven divisions of the Japanese invaders.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

On the northern front, it is necessary to surround the three divisions of the Japanese invaders and eliminate them as soon as possible. Continuous attacks are required.

All troops participating in the war must show their strength.

Can't be bedfellows.

Don't be half-hearted.

Otherwise, the Japanese invaders will definitely take advantage of the loopholes.

Whether the south side is breached or the encirclement is penetrated, the Japanese invaders will escape.

Is it difficult?

Very difficult. The difficulty coefficient is 999%.

The most dangerous situation is that the three Japanese divisions have not been eliminated and the southern front has been penetrated again.

In that case, the entire national army on the Xuzhou battlefield might be surrounded by the Japanese invaders.

It is possible to stage the siege and annihilation of Kiev in advance...

"Report."

A staff officer arrived.

Zhang Yong nodded.

"Commissioner, General Xu Yuanquan, commander-in-chief of the 26th Group Army, is calling you."

"Take it."

"yes."

Soon, the phone rang.

Zhang Yong picked up the microphone casually. The tone is flat.

"Commander Xu."

"Commissioner Zhang, I'm really sorry to bother you."

"Commander-in-Chief Xu, I have something to say."

"Commissioner Zhang, our department is preparing quickly and will leave at any time."

"good."

"But, Commissioner Zhang, you also know that our department has repeatedly fought against the Japanese invaders and suffered heavy losses..."

"Your department repeatedly fought against the Japanese invaders?"

"Yes."

"Destroy countless enemies and turn into victory?"

"Well…"

Xu Yuanquan was silent.

Annoyed. I want to teach Zhang Yong a lesson.

You, a pretty boy, dare to sneer at me? Who are you?

What's so great about the Ombudsman?

A false position!

The headquarters has just dismissed your position as director of the Air Force Strategic Intelligence Division!

You can't even keep a small department-level position. Why are you so arrogant? When I was having fun, you were still in your mother's womb!

However, he has a deep mind and a deep city, so naturally he will not get angry directly.

"Commander Xu, let me ask you something."

"You tell me."

"Yesterday, a British freighter was hijacked, did you know?"

"I heard about it."

"Did Yang Sen send someone to do it?"

"What?"

Xu Yuanquan was stunned.

Yang Sen?

Brother Pao?

He suddenly frowned.

Is Zhang Yong going after Yang Sen?

Want to make a fuss about using foreign freighters?

Oops…

This move is very vicious!

Who doesn’t know that the interests of foreigners cannot be tainted?

Once you are contaminated and the commission finds out, you will definitely be severely punished. How could Yang Sen do such a stupid thing?

"It seems that you don't know."

"Commissioner, I don't know. I really don't know anything!"

"Then it'll be okay."

"Commissioner, I really, really..."

"Commander Xu, I just want to ask you. Don't be nervous."

"Okay, okay, okay."

Xu Yuanquan breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, my heart continued to hang in my throat.

This matter indeed has nothing to do with him. He really didn't know. However, I can't stand being framed!

Whether you know it or not, how much you know, the truth is not important. What matters is how Zhang Yong reports!

What is said is what matters.

Everything in black and white is evidence of guilt. Say what you are.

Especially if Zhang Yong is like this, if he reports that Xu Yuanquan actually knows about this matter...

That's it. You have to shed your skin even if you don't die.

So, what would Zhang Yong say? you guess?

Are you familiar with Zhang Yong?

You didn't seem to get along well with him before?

Do you think Zhang Yong is the kind of person whose belly can support the prime minister?

"Mr. Commissioner..."

"What else?"

"Mr. Commissioner, I heard that the 48th Army needs to recruit more troops?"

"right."

"Then I warmly welcome them to Huangmei, and I will be responsible for helping to replenish the troops."

"you?"

"Yes. I will definitely serve you actively."

"good."

Zhang Yong thought to himself, these cunning guys are really good at dealing with them.

Afraid that he would be accused of holding a foreigner hostage, he forcefully surrendered and turned to please himself. Take the initiative to invite the 48th Army to station in Huangmei.

No wonder he was able to become the commander-in-chief of the group army even though he had little strength. They are all human beings!

However, as the saying goes, don’t hit the smiling person.

Since the other party relented, he let it go for the time being. Just achieve the goal.

"Commander-in-Chief Xu..."

"Commissioner, if you have anything to say, please tell me directly. I am all ears..."

"Okay. I'll tell you the truth. You have two choices. The first is to go directly to the Huainan front line and confront the Japanese invaders directly."

"What about the second one?"

"The second one is to defend Anqing and Luzhou. Let the 67th Army and the 100th Army go into battle."

"Sir Commissioner, please give me some advice."

"Deploy some soldiers from your army and add them to the 48th Army."

"this…"

"About 10,000 people will be mobilized. Only soldiers, not officers. Unless the officers take the initiative to volunteer."

Zhang Yong speaks out.

This is his true purpose.

Empty the backbone of Xu Yuanquan's subordinates.

Deploy those soldiers who are willing to resist Japan and actively resist Japan.

Continuing to stay under Xu Yuanquan's subordinates would be a waste.

You must come under your command to exert 100% combat effectiveness!

There was a brief silence.

"Commissioner, this is against the rules..."

"What rules?"

"I…"

"Your establishment will continue to be retained, and you will receive your military pay. After the transfer, you will fill the vacancies on the spot. What's the problem?"

"this…"

"If you don't want to, I'll go find Yang Sen..."

"I do, I do!"

Xu Yuanquan responded quickly. I don’t care about face anymore.

This Zhang Yong is definitely a evil star. There is not enough success and there is more than enough failure. And the knife is deadly.

He can't help you achieve anything. However, it would be easy for him to defeat you.

"Okay. I'll ask the 48th Army to contact you later."

"Okay, okay, okay."

"That's it. Goodbye."

Zhang Yong hung up the phone. Expressionless.

On the other end, Xu Yuanquan was holding the microphone and was angry. And unable to have an attack.

If there is a chance to kill Zhang Yong, he will never hesitate at all.

The problem is…

I can’t get rid of it!

There are so many people who want to kill Zhang Yong, but he is still alive and kicking.

The Japanese invaders were so powerful that they couldn't do anything to Zhang Yong.

Therefore, you should be patient and patient first.

Wait for others to make the first move.

For example, Yang Sen...

By the way, was Yang Sen really responsible for the foreign kidnapping case?

This old guy is really desperate for his life and dares to hold British people hostage. This is not to lift a stone and hit yourself in the foot, no, is it to hit the Tianling Cap?

Shake his head.

Don't dare to think too much.

In short, Zhang Yong let himself go.

What does the life and death of others have to do with you?

A dead Taoist friend will not die but a poor Taoist...

"Somebody come!"

"arrive!"

"Immediately send an order to all ministries that our army is about to go to the front line. Those who are willing to go into battle to kill the enemy should actively sign up."

"yes."
