Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 1461, give the order!

"Yes, that's it!"

"Keep firing! Fire after loading!"

"Okay, good!"

Zhang Yong quickly became the hands-off shopkeeper.

It's not a difficult operation to begin with. People will.

The first criterion for the three major artifacts of guerrilla warfare in later generations is that the threshold is low and everyone can learn it.

If you want to set up a bunch of parameters like the Stinger missile before launching, how many people can do it?

He stood nearby and only had to take care of the general aim.

Cover a position…

Covering another position...

The Japanese invaders were almost destroyed, and the infantry went up to occupy them.

The soldiers of the national army who were originally lifeless began to stand up and actively take the lead. Go up and seize the Japanese invaders' position.

There is no risk anymore. There may be some gains.

Although, the Japanese invaders' position had been bombarded repeatedly by artillery fire, and even the soil was warm.

However, if you dig through the soil, you can still find some loot.

The loot is useful and can be eaten. What you can find depends on your luck.

There is no argument that all seizures will be returned to the public. Whoever picks it up belongs to whoever picks it up.

Of course, there are definitely no large items.

"watch!"

"watch!"

Some Chinese soldiers shouted happily.

He was lucky enough to pull out a watch from the dirt.

Not a pocket watch. It's a watch. Private.

It is estimated that the original owner was at least a captain. That's the squadron leader.

Squad leaders and the like should all have pocket watches issued by the army. I can't afford a personal watch.

At that time, both the national army and the Japanese invaders, the grassroots officers were very poor.

"Pocket watch!"

"compass!"

"Stupid! This is the compass!"

More Japanese positions were occupied and more things were captured.

They're all little bitches. wrong. It's a small item. The big ones were all blown to pieces. Including the command knife of the Japanese invaders.

I found many command knives and they were all broken. Nothing is complete.

The Japanese invaders’ plaster flags were also incomplete. All were torn to pieces.

After all, it is a 107mm rocket with a short range. It has been bombed repeatedly. It is too difficult to keep it intact.

The national army with better observation ability found the Japanese invaders headquarters.

Pull away the thick soil and pull out the contents of the headquarters. There was some gain.

Zhang Yong held up the telescope.

He was looking for the Japanese 75mm field artillery positions.

The empty finger map is displayed. Just six kilometers away. Beyond radar map range.

Will the Japanese invaders open fire?

It seems that the Japanese artillery positions should be eliminated first?

However, the Japanese artillery positions were too far away for the Chinese soldiers to see and could not boost their morale.

Let’s destroy the Japanese infantry first.

"I'm hungry." Zhang Yong turned to Zhang Yunqing and said, "Do you have anything to eat?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhang Yunqing hurriedly ordered others to get it.

Then I realized that I seemed to be hungry too.

I was watching the shelling just now, and I was so focused on it that I didn’t notice it.

Now that Zhang Yong mentioned it, I suddenly felt hungry.

Having said that...

"Chirp chirp chirp..."

"Chirp chirp chirp..."

This harsh sound is so exciting!

Hearing this sound, I felt excited.

No need to eat.

Of course, for the Japanese invaders, this sound might be a nightmare.

"Commissioner."

"brigadier."

Soon, someone brought out a pile of pancakes.

Dry. There is little moisture. There is no fragrance whatsoever.

However, this is already good military ration. No one above company commander can even imagine eating such a big pancake.

For ordinary soldiers, it would be good if they could cook some watery white porridge. Or maybe batter. Then mix it with some sweet potatoes, pumpkin or whatever.

Anyway, whatever you get is what you get. The logistics standards of the national army have never been seriously implemented.

There are standards on the books. But food expenses are never paid in full. It's up to each troop to resolve it themselves.

If the commander is capable, the soldiers will not have to go hungry.

If the commander has no other way to make money, the soldiers below will have no choice but to suffer from cold and hunger.

Like Wang Yaowu, as the commander of the 74th Army and the number one main force, he also has to find other ways of making money to supplement military expenses.

The food and salary of the 74th Army can basically be paid in full. Even so, there is no way to ensure that soldiers are well fed and clothed.

You must build your own biscuit factory to earn some extra money to subsidize the military.

The number one main force is like this, needless to say, Feng Zhi'an's 77th Army. That is to say, it is better than the Sichuan Army.

Very emotional.

However, this is the cruel reality.

Most of the national troops were hungry, suffering from cold and hunger, and fought tooth and nail against the Japanese invaders.

The fearless spirit of the national army shown in TV movies is there. But not much.

Even if it is eight hundred, it is mostly exaggerated.

The actual battle in Sihang Warehouse was not as intense as in TV movies.

Most of the soldiers in the national army have little morale.

If you don’t have enough to eat and don’t have warm clothes, how can you have the morale to fight?

You are not a red party member...

On the Songhu battlefield, most of them were the main force of the direct lineage, and the government also had some reserves. Therefore, the problem of insufficient military expenditure is not obvious yet.

After the fall of Jinling, half of the financial resources in the southeast were occupied by the Japanese invaders, and the government's fiscal revenue was immediately reduced by more than 70%. This is fatal.

Coupled with the massive expansion of the national army, the source of military expenditure basically can only rely on desperately printing French currency.

There is definitely nothing Lao Jiang can do! A clever woman cannot make a meal without rice.

Assistance loans from foreigners cannot be given directly. They are all delivered in kind.

For example, the loans from the Soviets. All have been replaced with weapons and ammunition.

At this moment, it is estimated that the food and salary of the 87th Division and the 88th Division will need to be delayed. It should be impossible to distribute it in time.

The Battle of Xuzhou and the Battle of Wuhan can be said to be the two most difficult battles for the Chinese army.

Lots of new recruits…

Insufficient food and wages…

Half of the country was lost...

Want money but no money...

No one wants anyone...

Want weapons but no weapons...

Now, it's just the beginning of the hard work. It will be hard days from now on...

"Report, the commander is here."

"oh?"

Zhang Yong's mind moved.

It's actually Feng Zhi'an here? I really didn’t pay attention.

There wasn't much movement on the radar map. It does show that a white spot is coming. But not much.

It seems that Commander Feng also likes to be simple and easy to follow.

"Feng Zhi'an..."

Zhang Yong tried hard to recall information about Feng in later generations.

Obviously, there is a major event that Feng cannot escape.

This major event was the uprising of He Jifeng and Zhang Kexia.

Both of them are subordinates of Feng Zhi'an. It was before, it is now, and it will be in the future.

It can be said that this trio has been working together for more than ten years. They know each other well. It was impossible for Feng to be completely unaware of the uprising.

He didn't stop it. But didn't participate either. facilitated the uprising. But he stayed out of it.

All we can say is that everyone has limitations. Many times, it is impossible to see the future clearly. Even the Battle of Huaihai has begun.

"Commander."

"Commander."

Soon, Feng Zhian appeared.

It is indeed a simple and easy way. Came on horseback. Only a dozen guards were brought.

They are all from the Northwest Army, and their best skill is probably horseback riding.

Feng Zhi'an dismounted from his horse in the distance and walked quickly towards Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong also came forward enthusiastically.

"Commissioner Zhang."

"Commander Feng."

Feng Zhi'an took the initiative to extend his hand.

Zhang Yong stood at attention first. salute. Then he shook hands with the other person warmly.

Regardless of his future merits and demerits, the man in front of him is actively fighting against Japan.

After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, many battles of the 29th Army were commanded by Feng Zhi'an. The level may not be good. But the attitude is very firm.

We fought from Tianjin to the outskirts of Peiping, then from Peking all the way to the north of the Yellow River, and now we have reached Mengcheng.

The 77th Army under his command can indeed be said to have experienced hundreds of battles.

The performance may be average. But there is no credit and no hard work.

"please."

"please."

The two came to the front line.

Nothing to talk about. There is only war.

The goals are very clear. Just to regain Mengcheng as soon as possible.

In fact, Mengcheng is a very ordinary small county. There are no decent walls.

However, at that time, such towns were strongholds. By occupying such a town, you can control a large area around it.

"Commissioner Zhang, I am entrusted by Commander-in-Chief Liao to assist Commissioner..."

"Commander Feng, you said the opposite. I am here to assist you."

"Then we will work together to capture Mengcheng. We will achieve success."

"How many people are there in Mengcheng?"

"No more. They've all been withdrawn."

"That's good."

Zhang Yong nodded.

Since there are no ordinary people, let's cover it with artillery fire.

Those homemade 107 rocket launchers are really not very accurate. It can only cover a large area.

If there are ordinary people in the city, then...

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

Fortunately not.

"chief of staff."

"arrive."

"Let's talk to the commissioner about the Japanese troop deployment in detail."

"yes."

The chief of staff came up and introduced Zhang Yong.

The Japanese invaders stationed in Mengcheng were the Sixth Division. Hisao Tani, commander of the division.

This is already known information. However, it is impossible to know in detail how many troops the Japanese invaders had.

The intelligence capabilities of the national army have always been poor.

In the past, I couldn’t even figure out the intelligence of the Red Party, let alone the Japanese invaders?

Many times, you can only rely on guessing.

There will be prizes for correct guesses. Guessing wrong will cost you your life.

"Based on comprehensive judgment, the Japanese invaders may number more than 30,000 people..."

"How many?"

"Thirty thousand. Or forty thousand."

"Well…"

Zhang Yong was speechless.

What a joke!

Thirty thousand Japanese invaders!

How is that possible?

It is impossible for the entire Sixth Division to be stationed in a small place like Mengcheng.

Even if the Sixth Division is fully staffed, there can't be 30,000 people!

The Japanese invaders were not mice either. It is impossible to give birth to a litter at once. Even if the rear can be replenished quickly, it will at most be replenished to the pre-war level.

Even before the war started, the Sixth Division did not have 30,000 people! Not to mention 40,000?

The chief of staff explained simply. It's all based on reports from the troops.

In a village, there is a report from the troops that there may be three hundred Japanese invaders. Then three hundred people were counted. The final summed up number is huge.

"map."

"exist."

Zhang Yong asked someone to bring a map.

There are densely packed village signs on the map.

Each village sign has some Japanese invaders stationed there. more or less.

Zhang Yong pointed to a village at the front.

"Zhang Touji, how many Japanese invaders did you report?"

"About a hundred."

"Not that many. Just a dozen."

"A dozen?"

The chief of staff shook his head repeatedly, expressing disbelief.

This is a frontline village. It was part of the Japanese defense line. How could there be only a dozen Japanese invaders?

Feng Zhi'an and Zhang Yunqing didn't quite believe it either. But didn't speak.

"Wang Dongping!" Zhang Yong shouted.

"Here!" Captain Wang Dongping hurriedly came forward.

"Organize a company and follow me to Zhangtouji." Zhang Yong picked up the Garand semi-automatic.

I said a dozen, that’s a dozen.

Don't believe it?

Then go up and take a walk.

I personally lead the team...

"Commissioner, wait!" Feng Zhi'an hurriedly stopped him.

Then ordered a company to rush forward.

result…

After sporadic gunfire, the national army successfully occupied Zhangtouji.

There were indeed only a dozen or so Japanese invaders stationed there. Still not in the mood to fight. If you find yourself under attack, retreat immediately.

Strictly speaking, there was no serious exchange of fire between the two sides.

"withdraw!"

"What?"

"Withdraw immediately, the Japanese artillery fire is coming!"

"good!"

Zhang Yunqing hurriedly ordered the troops to withdraw.

As a result, as soon as the national troops of that company retreated, Japanese artillery fire arrived.

"boom…"

"boom…"

It's a 75mm field gun.

Not many. More than twenty shells fell.

Everyone held up binoculars. Thoughtful. It seemed like he had an insight into something.

"The Japanese invaders may not have that many people."

"The Japanese invaders don't have much ammunition."

Finally, it came to two conclusions. It’s just that the Japanese invaders were not very strong.

Although the name of the Sixth Division is a bit scary. However, it may have reached its end.

His eyes finally focused on Zhang Yong.

You know, Zhang Yong fought against Hisao Tani in Jinling Purple Mountain.

At that time, Zhang Yong commanded the 67th Army and was engaged in a deadly fight with the Japanese Sixth Division. The two sides fought repeatedly. The artillery fire flattened the top of the mountain several meters.

Suddenly something dawned on me.

As soon as the commissioner arrived in Xuzhou, he came to the front line in Mengcheng.

Apparently, Hisao Wakani was at odds with the Japanese Sixth Division!

"Where is the Japanese coalition headquarters?"

"have no idea."

"No reconnaissance?"

"No results."

"I judge that the Japanese joint headquarters is in Ma Touji."

"Yeah?"

The chief of staff was a little skeptical. But there was no objection.

Zhang Yong didn't bother to explain. I gave the answer directly. You just need to copy the answers.

The radar map shows that there is a radio station sign in Ma Tou Ji. Explain that the Japanese aggressor coalition headquarters is there. Therefore, prepare to attack the Japanese coalition headquarters first.

However, in addition to attacking the Japanese coalition headquarters, attacks must also be launched from other directions.

Directly push down a regiment of Japanese invaders.

Try to make Hisao Tani feel uncomfortable before dawn tomorrow.

"Commander Feng."

"Commissioner Zhang, tell me."

"Time is tight and the task is heavy, so I won't be polite."

"Commissioner, tell me!"

Feng Zhian was happy to let go. Can't get it.

Continuous fierce battles made him exhausted. Mentally haggard.

Without outside help, it would be difficult to recapture Mengcheng solely by relying on the 21st Army.

As a flank, the 77th Army has the weakest overall combat effectiveness. It is even more difficult for the 77th Army to complete combat missions.

Fortunately Zhang Yong is here.

And it was the 77th Army that came first.

This is the blessing of the 77th Army!

He, Feng Zhi'an, could finally be relieved temporarily.

"Actually, there is no big deployment, just follow the steps."

"Give me the order!"

"good."

Zhang Yong looked at his watch.

There are still fifteen hours until dawn tomorrow.

It took fifteen hours to kill a regiment of Japanese invaders. should be enough. Maybe a little ample.

However, his estimate of the combat effectiveness of the national army has always been very low. Therefore, all kinds of budgets are very sufficient. It is better to be deficient than excessive.

First move the rocket launcher over. First clean up the Japanese invaders' 75mm field artillery position.

That field artillery position has twelve 75mm mountain guns. It is the support point of the entire front line of defense of the Japanese invaders.

At Zhangtouji just now, there were only a dozen Japanese invaders stationed there, relying on artillery support.

Once the national troops go up, they will be killed by artillery fire. Then other Japanese invaders fought back.

As long as there is artillery cover, the Japanese defense line will be complete.

However, if the Japanese artillery fire is eliminated, the Japanese defense line will naturally collapse.

As it happened, the range of the Japanese 75mm mountain artillery was only 8 kilometers. It is almost the same as the 107 rocket launcher.

Calculate with intention but without intention...

"quick!"

"quick!"

Twelve homemade rocket launchers entered the range.

It is about six kilometers away from the Japanese mountain artillery position. Totally within range.

aim.

The error was found to be large.

But it's okay. Large area coverage.

"preparation!"

"put!"
