Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 1489, Temple Shouichi’s ambition

"Nani?"

"Zou City fell?"

"Nani?"

"Yanzhou fell?"

Sakagaki Seishiro immediately realized something was wrong.

Without thinking, he immediately asked to meet Isotani Rensuke.

Neither the telegram nor the phone call made it clear. It must be said face to face.

Isoya Rensuke did not dare to neglect and returned immediately. Soon, the two met in Shagou (town).

You must turn back and attack immediately.

The railway must be opened immediately.

Otherwise, they will be surrounded by a large number of Chinese troops. The consequences are disastrous.

so…

The two decided quickly.

Seishiro Sakagaki was responsible for the attack to the north. Together with Kenji Doihara, he re-captured Zoucheng and Yanzhou.

Isotani Rensuke was responsible for holding back the national army in the south. Prevent them from cooperating with the Northern Front.

After re-conquering Zoucheng and Yanzhou, the three divisions turned back and headed south. Give the pursuing Chinese army a head-on blow.

Immediately report secretly to the Second Army Headquarters. Hisao Nishio agreed.

Later, Nishio Juzo also asked Juichi Templeuchi for support.

Juichi Terauchi said on the spot that he would dispatch the 31st and 36th divisions to go south for reinforcements. More independent field heavy artillery regiments will also be mobilized south.

"Your Mightiness…"

Chief of Staff Naosaburo Okabe was a little worried.

At present, the North China Expeditionary Force is seriously insufficient in strength. There are only a few divisions.

If the 31st and 36th divisions are also dispatched south. North China's military strength will be very empty. In case the Chinese army enters the Pingjin area...

At present, reports from various places indicate that there is already an anti-Japanese armed force designated as the Eighth Route Army, which is relatively active.

Although there is not much harm for the time being. But the Eighth Route Army developed rapidly. Their shadows are found throughout North China.

No large troops of the Eighth Route Army were found. However, there are many scattered ones.

If things go on like this, I'm afraid it will become a serious problem...

After the 31st and 36th Divisions are transferred south, many places will be abandoned. Including some county towns.

At that time, the Eighth Route Army may take advantage of the situation and move in.

Unfortunately, Juichi Terauchi didn't seem to care about this.

In his eyes, he only saw the main force of the Chinese army. He had no interest in "guerrillas" like the Eighth Route Army.

Well, Terauchi Shoichi's positioning of the Eighth Route Army was that of scattered guerrilla armed forces.

Of course I won't take it seriously.

"Okabe-kun, send a report to the base camp immediately. Our department intends to resolve the war in one fell swoop in the Lunan area."

"Your Mightiness…"

"Okabe-kun, we need more divisions."

"I understand."

Naosaburo Okabe had no choice but to put aside the Eighth Route Army matters temporarily.

In the temple, Shouyi wanted to fight for power. To overshadow Shunroku Hata. Now is the best opportunity.

Seishiro Sakagaki and Rensuke Isotani may be trapped in a tight siege, which is not a bad thing. On the contrary, this is a good thing. A once-in-a-lifetime good thing.

Why?

Because the base camp cannot sit back and watch Seishiro Sakagaki and Rensuke Isotani be eliminated.

Both of them are senior division commanders, lieutenant generals. The military exploits are also good. Especially Sakagaki. He conquered Jin Province almost single-handedly.

How could the base camp remain indifferent to such a meritorious minister? Of course we have to fight tooth and nail to save him.

To the south, Hata Shunroku is far away from the water and cannot save the near fire. Obviously unwilling to contribute.

Seven main divisions have just been arranged to rest in the rear. This is a very clear sign of slowdown.

Under such circumstances, as long as Juichi Templeuchi makes a request, the base camp will satisfy it.

More divisions…

More artillery…

More tanks…

The city will continue to tilt towards the North China Expeditionary Force.

The divisions originally organized in the Central China Expedition Army may also be transferred to the North China Expedition Army.

It only takes a few days to ship from Shanghai to Tianjin Wei Wharf.

Or take a relay approach. Bring in the Kwantung Army divisions first. Then let the divisions in the south supplement the Kwantung Army.

Anyway!

This is a great opportunity!

An opportunity to greatly enhance the strength of the North China Expeditionary Force.

"Okabe-kun..."

"Your Excellency, I am humble enough to draft a telegram immediately..."

"No, I changed my mind. I want you to fly back to Tokyo in person. Report back to the base camp in person."

"Tie!"

"It must be expressed clearly and accurately to end the Chinese war in one fell swoop."

"Tie!"

Naosaburo Okabe bent down and agreed.

I think Juichi Terauchi's ambition is a bit too big. He actually wanted to take full advantage of it.

But if this thing works well, there is a real chance. The key is to attract the main force of the Chinese army and defeat it in one fell swoop.

so…

"Before you leave, order the Second Army to fight steadily. Don't be in a hurry."

"Tie!"

Naosaburo Okabe agreed. Then he went out to deliver the order.

The order reached Second Army. Nishio Hiszog is confident. Turn passivity into initiative. His Excellency Juichi Templeuchi really has a vision.

Or, to be precise, what kind of influence Juichi Terauchi had.

Can win more divisions.

so…

Is this the ambition of Juichi Terauchi?

"chief of staff."

"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."

"Order the 5th, 10th, and 14th Divisions to fight steadily to hold back the Chinese army."

"Tie!"

Soon, orders came to the front.

Seishiro Sakagaki and Ren Isotani are both complacent and ambitious.

Very good plan. They are responsible for holding back the main force of the Chinese army. Then wait for the follow-up troops to arrive and defeat them in one fell swoop.

Of course, Zoucheng and Yanzhou still need to be connected as soon as possible. They want to use these two places to fight fiercely with the Chinese army.

"Sakagaki-kun, please!" Isotani Rensuke bowed and saluted.

"Isoya-kun, we will definitely meet again!" Sakagaki Seishiro also bowed and returned the greeting.

Immediately, the two separated and led their own troops.

The 10th Division quickly launched a fierce attack on the National Army on the southern front.

"Boom boom boom..."

"Boom boom boom..."

The artillery fire was once very fierce.

The national troops in the forward positions had to temporarily retreat.

In the dark night, groups of Japanese invaders launched a crazy charge, fearless of death.

"withstand!"

"withstand!"

The national army's forward defense line was quickly overwhelmed.

Tang Enbo's face was extremely ugly. Ordered the two battalion commanders to be shot as a warning to others.

He received an order from the headquarters to defend the defense line.

The headquarters is Chiang Kai-shek.

Therefore, he did not dare to neglect. There is no room for error.

However, the Japanese invaders' attacks were indeed very violent, and they all seemed to be going crazy.

The attacks during the day were not so crazy, but at night, they actually intensified?

I didn't understand what was going on.

"Boom boom..."

"Boom boom..."

Suddenly, the sound of gunfire came from the flank of the Japanese invaders.

Tang Enbo hurriedly raised his telescope. It was discovered that Guan Linzheng's 52nd Army was launching the attack.

Seeing that Tang Enbo's group army's defense line was being breached one after another, Guan Linzheng could not sit still. So he took the initiative to launch an attack to help Tang Enbo reduce the pressure.

The Japanese invaders, who were attacked from the flank, had to retreat temporarily. The battlefield is slightly calmer.

Tang Enbo's hanging heart was temporarily relieved.

Fortunately, the Japanese attack was temporarily contained...

"Commander-in-Chief!"

Suddenly, the chief of staff hurried over.

Telegram in hand. His face looked worried.

"What's going on?"

"The Japanese invaders stormed the 40th Army's positions. The 40th Army suffered heavy losses and withdrew from Yinping."

"Pang Bingxun is incompetent..."

"The Japanese invaders also launched a fierce attack on the positions of the 59th Army, but the 59th Army also failed to withstand it..."

"Zhang Zizhong is also incompetent..."

Tang Enbo said angrily. But it's not loud.

After all, just now, his forward position was also very dangerous. Fortunately, Guan Linzheng helped me.

Guan Iron Fist's combat effectiveness is still very good. The 52nd Army can indeed fight.

Right now, around Taierzhuang, the 52nd Army has the strongest combat effectiveness. Other troops are average.

The other main forces in the fifth theater are on the southern front.

There were many Japanese invaders on the southern front. Must be blocked. Otherwise, Xuzhou will be captured.

A staff officer came in quietly. Send a secret message.

The chief of staff looked happy after reading it.

"Good news?" Tang Enbo asked hurriedly, "Where is it?"

"It was the Third Army that captured Zoucheng and Yanzhou. It has cut off the retreat route of the Japanese fifth and tenth divisions." the chief of staff replied.

"Isn't it possible? The Third Army? Has it completed its mission now?"

"That's what the headquarters' briefing said."

"Yu Xuezhong..."

"Commander-in-Chief, you forgot that Commissioner Zhang is there."

"Oh, he..."

Tang Enbo suddenly realized.

No wonder.

He also said that there are gods in the Third Army!

You can complete a three-day mission in less than one day. You Yu Xuezhong can fly into the sky?

It turns out that Zhang Yong is personally in charge there!

That's not surprising.

Reminds me of the unusual reaction of the Japanese invaders...

"chief of staff!"

"arrive!"

"Organize the troops and prepare to counterattack!"

"Fight back?"

The chief of staff was stunned. Not sure why.

It seems that we were beaten badly just now and lost our troops and generals.

Fight back?

How to fight back?

Why fight back?

"The Japanese invaders are about to retreat. So attack with all your might."

"ah?"

"Hurry! Zhang Yong has cut off the Japanese aggressors' retreat. The Japanese aggressors cannot continue to attack and will definitely turn around to attack. We can't let them run away like this. Counterattack! Counterattack across the board! Make it impossible for the Japanese aggressors to escape easily!"

"Commander-in-Chief..."

"Execute the order!"

"yes!"

"Explicitly order everyone below to delay the fighter plane and engage in military law!"

"yes!"

"Also, tell them that when the time comes, it will not be me who enforces military law, but Commissioner Zhang Yong!"

"yes!"

The chief of staff suddenly became frightened.

This move is a killer move.

Commander Tang may still have a chance to intercede. But Commissioner Zhang...

He captured Han Fuju. He was shot a few days later. plead? Who do you plead with? Who dares to plead for mercy?

Just asking you, do you dare to go to Commissioner Zhang and ask him to show his respect?

shudder.

Turn around and give the order.

One thing is emphasized repeatedly -

Commissioner Zhang…

…

"Ah sneeze!"

"Ah sneeze!"

Zhang Yong sneezed continuously.

The woman in her arms squirmed a few times and fell asleep again.

Beautiful cheeks with tiredness. With laziness.

Like a beautiful Persian cat.

This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!

He seriously suspected that this Du Yun was here to feed him and prevent him from continuing to do evil.

If you are fed enough at home, you will not be able to eat anymore when you go outside.

But there is no evidence.

Anyway, people accepted it. The rest will be discussed later.

night. Very quiet.

The Japanese invaders in the ruins have been eliminated.

Most of the soldiers have also begun to rest. Only fixed sentries, mobile sentries and concealed sentries are on duty.

But there are also people who are worried.

They are the chiefs of staff at all levels. Encountered a difficult problem.

Just can't report the results.

How many Japanese invaders were eliminated? Not even a rough inference can be made.

In previous wars, we could at least count the number of corpses of the Japanese invaders. Then make an approximate guess based on the number of corpses.

But, this time, it couldn't be done. Because there were not many corpses of Japanese invaders at all.

What can be identified is at most one or two hundred.

If calculated based on previous experience, the number of Japanese invaders that could be eliminated would be at most four hundred.

However, Yanzhou was so big, how could it be possible that there were only 400 Japanese invaders? Maybe four thousand. But it cannot be confirmed!

If you want to report the results, you must at least have some photos of the scene.

It would be best if there were photos of Japanese invaders littering the fields. The most persuasive thing.

But…

No!

They were all blown to pieces.

Can't be photographed at all.

then…

Can only be dragged.

Wait until the Commissioner wakes up.

In this matter, whatever the Commissioner says is whatever it is.

result…

Zhang Yong suddenly opened his eyes and woke up.

It's Mei Yu'er here. This woman is jealous.

then…

Okay, let’s go together!

Pull her over too. Directly Hu Tianhundi.

Everyone knows his absurdity anyway. Even the committee members know it. He is too lazy to be a human being.

Good people can't do it. Now no one even bothers to do it.

Wake up in the morning feeling refreshed.

Get dressed. Leave. The two women were left behind to confront each other.

One was sent by Madam. There is an identity and a background. One is wild, a roadside wild flower with thorns. Dare to kill.

If they fight, who will have the last laugh? He bought Mei Yuer...

"Commissioner!"

"Commissioner!"

Come to the 12th Military Headquarters.

It was discovered that Sun Tongxuan was studying the enemy's situation.

"Commissioner."

"Commander Sun. How is the enemy's situation?"

"The Japanese invaders did not immediately launch a counterattack. They seemed not in a hurry?"

"Isn't this a good thing? We sit back and wait for work. If the fortifications are well repaired, casualties can be reduced."

"Speaking of this matter, Commissioner, how do we report our results?"

"Didn't you report it?"

"The number of enemies annihilated cannot be counted. The Japanese invaders were basically crushed."

"Then there's no need to report it."

"Don't report it?"

"Anyway, we have already occupied Yanzhou and Zoucheng. It doesn't matter whether we report the number of enemies we destroyed or not."

"But…"

Sun Tongxuan stopped talking.

I want to say that if you don’t repay, you will lose one point of credit.

Later I thought about it, forget it. It seems like the number of enemies annihilated really doesn't matter. Because they were basically killed by rocket launchers.

There are very few infantrymen who need rewards. They hardly killed many Japanese invaders.

As for the artillerymen, they focused on firing, but they didn't seem to have any special merits.

"If you want to take credit, there will be plenty of opportunities next."

"Want to hear the details."

"The Japanese Fifth Division has moved north. Prepare to join forces with the Fourteenth Division to attack us."

"Where do they attack first?"

"I don't know yet."

Zhang Yong shook his head. Too lazy to judge.

In fact, it is not necessary. No matter where it attacks first. Soldiers will come to block it, water will come and earth will cover it.

As long as Sakagaki Seishiro dares to come, he will fight Xiang...

No, he wants to take the initiative.

To the north, the Japanese heavy artillery regiment was moving south.

To the south, the Japanese heavy artillery regiment was heading north.

The air finger map shows that they are all 105mm heavy cannons! They all have extremely long range!

The rocket launcher's coverage ability is indeed very strong. But lacks range.

If the Japanese invaders' 105mm heavy cannon arrives, it will have an inherent advantage in range. The defenders could only be beaten passively.

Of course not happy.

These heavy cannons of the Japanese invaders must be destroyed!

You must drag the weapons and equipment of the Japanese invaders until they are level with your own, and then use your rich experience to defeat the enemy...

"Somebody come!"

"arrive!"

"Send a report to the Second Cavalry Army and ask them to come to Yanzhou to find me immediately."

"yes!"

The staff officer turned around and went out.

Zhang Yong yawned. Well. A little sleepy.

Sure enough, I was addicted to food and felt that my body was seriously drained...

Damn the system, using such dirty tricks to ban me from selling weapons and ammunition. Next work! Pooh!

"Report!"

"Good news!"

"Good news!"

The chief of staff suddenly ran in happily.

The smile makes your mouth split to the back of your head.

"Good news!"

"Tell me the content!"

"Commendation from the General Headquarters! Congratulations to the 12th Army, 55th Army, and 68th Army for their successful recovery of Yanzhou and Zoucheng!"

"Where's the reward?"

"The headquarters decided to award Sun Tongxuan, Tuoba Leihuo, and Li Xianzhou the Medal of the Blue Sky and White Sun!"

"oh…"

Zhang Yong was in low spirits. Another medal.

As expected, he was led astray by himself. Lao Jiang began to wholesale various medals.

Since Zhang Yong can even receive three Guoguang Medals, what else can't he do? As long as you have military exploits, you will be awarded the Medal of Blue Sky and White Sun immediately!

Fortunately, I didn’t have any share this time.

Low profile. Otherwise, the medal will really be hung on your ankle in the future.

In fact, I still hope to be rewarded with money!

I need a little money...

I like small money...

Not too much. Just one or two million dollars will do.

Don't make any calls to my personal account either. That's too explicit.

Can be deposited into an account at the Central Reserve Bank. Then I moved the ants bit by bit...

Ahhhh...

I want to make money!

I…

【Mineral map update】

Suddenly a message arrived.

Zhang Yong:? ? ?

Mine map?

Hasn't it appeared before?

renew?

What’s new?

Switch to the mineral map. Discovery and radar maps overlap a bit.

All have a radius of six kilometers. Shows the location of silver mines.

Within the scope of the map, several silver mine signs appeared irregularly.

There is an approximate weight. There is also an approximate depth.

Confuse.

Do you want to mine it yourself?

Forget it, let’s go take a look first. What if there are silver coins buried inside?

hey-hey. My heart is on fire.

Previously, the map had shown silver dollars for a while. Later it was cancelled.

Go out.

"Old Bai!"

Call in a small group of cavalry.

That's the mute cavalryman. veteran.

After Zhang Yong used a dagger to treat the tongue tie, he gradually returned to normal.

Set off on foot.

Come to a silver mine sign.

The map shows that there are thirty kilograms of pure silver here. The depth is about four meters.

The surface is covered with thick loose soil. It was repeatedly bombarded by rockets.

Excavation.

A little difficult. Mainly because it's too deep.

A full four meters!

Fortunately, there are many people, so we can take turns.

finally…

Found it!

It's a rough sack.

Drag the sack out of it. Open. They are all silver dollars.

Based on the calculation that each silver dollar is about 27-30 grams, this sack contains about one thousand silver dollars.

Not much to say. Say a lot less.

The owner of the silver dollar is probably a wealthy family.

There was no way to take it away, so I buried it deeply. Then Zhang Yong intercepted him.

He is thick-skinned. No morals. Treat it as an ownerless thing.

Of course, you still need to leave a message.

Got a tarpaulin, wrote a receipt, sealed it inside the tarpaulin, and put it in a sack. Buried again.

In the future, if anyone comes back to look for it, they should go to the government to repay it.

I, Zhang Yong, am from the government.

Of course, the government is responsible for returning this account.

Nothing wrong.

Very reasonable.

So cool.

Waved his hand.

"Split the money!"

"Split the money!"
