A whole morning, the 36th Army dispatched 30 to 40 transport aircraft to airdrop the ammunition of about several hundred tons and put them on the positions in Zhengzhou, Kaifeng and Luoyang.

A large number of troops lacking ammunition were provided for supplies, and many soldiers were grateful to the 36th Army while obtaining these ammunition.

With sufficient ammunition, a large number of ** troops attacked Zhengzhou, Kaifeng and Luoyang, have improved significantly compared to yesterday. Many troops have reversed the passive situation in one fell swoop and gained the advantage of the offensive.

Chongqing.

At noon, Chairman Jiang received a report from the Chief Office of the First War Zone. Chairman Jiang looked at the content of the telegram in disbelief. The 36th Army actually supplied air supplies to the ** troops and replenished a large amount of ammunition for everyone. This was really unbelievable.

Looking at Chairman Jiang's puzzled expression, the Kuomintang senior officials next to him were a little strange, and they thought to themselves, what's wrong with the Commission? Is the war in the first war zone not going well?

"Everyone, let's take a look at the telegram sent just from this First War Zone. What do you think?"

Chairman Jiang raised the telegram in his hand slightly and handed it to He Yingqin, who was closest to him. After reading the telegram, He Yingqin frowned and handed it to the person next to him.

Within a few minutes, everyone read the telegram one after another. Everyone had different expressions, some were puzzled and some were happy. Almost everyone had their own ideas.

"Chairman, I think the 36th Army is not satisfied with anything! It is obvious that the 36th Army is buying the hearts of the soldiers on the front line. We must stop this behavior of the 36th Army as soon as possible."

He Yingqin spoke first, his tone was filled with worry and indignation. Obviously, he had a lot of opinions on the 36th Army's approach.

Lao Chiang was also full of worry at this time, afraid that the soldiers on the front line would be grateful to the 36th Army. However, Lao Chiang was also quite contradictory.

Chiang Kai-shek knew that the front line troops lacked ammunition and very much hoped to get the shortage of ammunition. Today, it is a good thing for the front line troops to get so much ammunition at once. However, this method of the 36th Army made Chiang Kai-shek disapproved and had a little opinion.

Seeing that Chairman Jiang was silent, Chen Cheng also started to speak, but Chen Cheng's views were completely different from He Yingqin. Chen Cheng was optimistic and welcomed the support of the 36th Army.

"Chairman, I personally think that our concerns are unnecessary. The 36th Group Army supports our large amount of ammunition free of charge. I think it is a good thing. With these ammunition, our troops can recover Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, Luoyang and other places faster..."

Before Chen Cheng finished speaking, Lao Jiang waved his hand impatiently. He interrupted Chen Cheng's speech. Lao Jiang said in a deep voice: "Everyone, our front-line troops are in short supply of ammunition, and the 36th Army just caught our weakness. What good solutions do you have?"

Bai Chongxi, who had not spoken, said slowly at this time: "Chairman. I have a solution."

Chairman Jiang nodded, stared at Bai Chongxi, waiting for the following words.

Bai Chongxi continued: "Chairman, we can send people to Datong. We pay for the 36th Army to purchase the weapons and ammunition we urgently need from the 36th Army. This time, the 36th Army airdropped a large amount of ammunition to our troops at one time. It can be seen that the 36th Army has a lot of weapons and ammunition, and it is entirely possible for us to buy the weapons and ammunition we urgently need."

After Bai Chongxi finished speaking, many senior Kuomintang officials nodded, and everyone agreed with this plan.

Chairman Jiang also nodded, "I think this plan is OK, so I will do it."

Chen Cheng and Zhang Yunfei had a few deals, and both sides were familiar with each other. This time, Chairman Jiang entrusted Chen Cheng to lead the team to take the opportunity to Datong and purchase weapons and ammunition from the 36th Army.

******************

On the second day after more than 20 divisions of the Kuomintang army besieged Zhengzhou, Kaifeng and Luoyang, after a day of rest, several columns of the 36th Army began to move south from Peking, Tianjin and other places, preparing to revive other cities in North China, such as Dezhou and Cangzhou.

Except for the Japanese invaders who have a large number of Japanese in Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, Luoyang, and Xuzhou, there are not many Japanese in other small and medium-sized cities.

In these places, Japanese devils are generally the size of squads and squadrons. Only in medium-sized cities can there be brigades or corps of Japanese devils. In many small towns, there are no Japanese devils, but only some puppet troops stationed.

The Japanese were so weak in these areas that the Japanese either fled in sight or were wiped out wherever the 36th Army went.

On that day, in just one day, the vanguards of each column of the 36th Army advanced hundreds of kilometers southward. The vanguards were generally mechanized infantry regiments, tank regiments, cavalry regiments, and even motorized infantry regiments with strong mobility.

Not only did the front line push hundreds of kilometers southward, but more than a dozen small counties were restored, more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers were killed, and nearly 10,000 puppet troops were captured.

After the Eighth Route Army recovered Jinan, just a few days later, it mobilized a lot of troops to attack everywhere with Jinan as the center, and successively revived many counties and small towns near Jinan.

At this time, North China entered a state of full-scale war. Whether it was the 36th Army, the Eighth Route Army or the **, they all launched attacks on the Japanese. The more than 200,000 Japanese Japanese in North China may not last long.

August 8th, Datong.

Yesterday, the 36th Army received a telegram from the Kuomintang Chongqing. This morning, Chen Cheng will lead the regiment to Datong to discuss weapons and ammunition procurement with the 36th Army.

At Datong Airport, Zhang Yunfei came to greet him. Together with Zhang Yunfei, there were also Comrade Deng Wenping, director of the General Political Department, and Comrade Zuo Qingquan, Chief of Staff, Liu Dazhu, etc., they were still at the command center and were in charge of the battles of each column.

This time, Zhang Yunfei went to the airport to greet Chen Cheng and his party in person, which gave Chen Cheng enough face. Zhang Yunfei was still considering that Chen Cheng had come to Datong many times and had a good impression of Chen Cheng. Otherwise, if other senior Kuomintang officials came, Zhang Yunfei would not bother to greet him in person.

However, even if Zhang Yunfei came to greet him, he would come by the point. Chen Cheng's plane arrived at Datong Airport around 11 o'clock. As soon as Chen Cheng's plane left Chongqing, he sent a telegram to the 36th Army. This time should be quite accurate.

Zhang Yunfei looked at his watch. It was less than ten minutes away from eleven o'clock in the morning. Zhang Yunfei stood at the airport, looking at the long runway not far away. Behind Zhang Yunfei was Comrade Deng Wenping and more than a dozen guards. In addition, the flight captain Gao Zhihang also stood sideways behind Zhang Yunfei.

"Zhihang! Has the plane we welcomed taken off?"

Seeing Zhang Yunfei asking, he stood at attention and replied seriously: "Commander-in-Chief, half an hour ago, one of our Mustang fighter jet squadrons had taken off. Now, they should have joined the plane with Minister Chen.

Minister Chen in Gao Zhihang's mouth was naturally the Kuomintang Minister of Defense Chen Cheng. Chen Cheng's plane was discovered and locked by the radar station before entering Shanxi. The location and flight route were very clear. More than 20 aircraft of this Mustang Fighter Squadron must have already been connected to Chen Cheng's plane at this time.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yunfei nodded and said with a smile: "Comrades, this time the Kuomintang came to purchase weapons and ammunition, we still cannot lose our etiquette."

Zhang Yunfei's meaning is very obvious. This time, the hospitality must be enthusiastic and thorough, at least on the surface, so the Kuomintang cannot be irresponsible. Moreover, this time the Kuomintang is here to purchase weapons and ammunition, which is equivalent to giving money to the 36th Army.

Even if you are more enthusiastic and kind to entertain Chen Cheng and his party, it will not cost much money. Compared with this large amount of procurement funds, this is nothing.

Zhang Yunfei had clearly informed the Kuomintang in advance that the transactions were all real money and silver, and fiat currency was not allowed. Now the fiat currency depreciates are quite severe, and Zhang Yunfei only has oceans, silver or gold.

Now, although the area of ​​the Kuomintang-controlled area has greatly reduced and various tax revenues have been greatly reduced, there is still a large amount of silver and gold in the major banks of the Kuomintang and the treasury. Zhang Yunfei is not worried at all that Chiang Kai-shek would not be able to come up with these things.

While chatting with Deng Wenping, Gao Zhihang and others, Zhang Yunfei looked at his watch from time to time. Time flew quickly. After seven or eight minutes, he could see the figure of the plane in the distance.

"Commander-in-Chief! The plane is here."

The flight captain Gao Zhihang reminded Zhang Yunfei with a happy expression.

Zhang Yunfei looked into the sky in the distance and saw more than twenty Mustang fighters gathered around this small transport plane and was flying towards this side. This small transport plane was several times larger than the Mustang fighter, and the color was different. Even if the distance was relatively far, Zhang Yunfei still saw it.

This transport plane is Chen Cheng's landline. Not only does Chen Cheng sit on it, but there are also more than a dozen people accompanying Chen Cheng.

The aircraft group was getting closer and closer, and the height was getting lower and lower. After a while, Chen Cheng's landline landed on one runway under the guidance of the airport tower, and the rest of the Mustang fighters escorted also landed on several other runways one by one.
