The Isuzu cruiser is an ultra-light cruiser built by Japan in 1910. It was developed for coastal and offshore use. It is equipped with five 140 mm caliber main guns and two 76 mm caliber single-mounted anti-aircraft guns.

, eighteen 25mm caliber twin-mounted anti-aircraft machine guns, and four 13mm caliber twin-mounted anti-aircraft machine guns. Therefore, it can also be said that it is a dual-purpose warship responsible for shore and air defense. It and another red ship

The ultralight cruiser Himaru formed the main force of this operation.

On September 25, a fleet with the Isuzu ultralight cruiser as its core sailed upstream in a mighty manner. Together with the 2nd and 6th Divisions, they headed towards Tianjia Town simultaneously.

After receiving the news, Lieutenant General Li Yannian, the commander of the Tianjia Town Guards, immediately issued a strict order to the 300 Division stationed at Songshan Pass. They must defend Songshan Pass and not retreat even to the last soldier.

In the division command post located at Songshan Pass, Li Yifeng shouted angrily: "Master, take a seat, this Li Yannian has gone too far. Since he wants us to defend Songshan Pass, he doesn't even shoot a single soldier."

He refuses to send more bullets to us, so what does he have in mind?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Su Rui stopped Li Yifeng, "Sir Li doesn't have enough troops right now. It's understandable that he can't send troops to support us for a while. As subordinates, how can we blame the commander secretly?

?Don’t we have enough troops now?”

"Sir!" Li Yifeng was so anxious that his neck was thick: "Sir, it's not that I, Li Yifeng, don't know the general situation. It's okay if the superiors don't send us reinforcements and don't allocate food and wages, but they don't even give us supplementary soldiers. Isn't that too much?

Yesterday I went to Li Yannian to ask for 2,000 additional troops, but guess what he said? This guy actually said that the supplementary troops are very nervous now. Let us overcome the difficulties and be patient, and then give them to us after the war is over. You

Listen, what are these bastard words? The 8,000 new recruits allocated by the theater headquarters are staying in the barracks near the headquarters, but he doesn’t give any of them to us. Isn’t this bullying!”

Su Rui didn't say anything, just sat there blankly, and finally sighed for a long time. He felt an indescribable bitterness now, and the superiors were becoming more and more wary of him, with no military pay or reinforcements.

, and now they don’t even provide additional troops. This is to use the hands of the Japanese to eliminate him. Even the day before yesterday, when he reported his military exploits for bombing the Japanese heavy artillery brigade, his superiors just said that he would be gone if he knew about it.

After reading the following, not even a commendation order was issued. This is no longer a warning, but a warning.

It would be a lie to say that Su Rui was not dissatisfied, but Su Rui could not bring this emotion to his subordinates. He had to wave his hand and let Li Yifeng go down. He and Liang Zhi were the only two people left in the war room.

After a long time, Su Rui sighed and said: "Zi Ran, what you did above is a little too much this time. Someone must be tampering with it, otherwise Li Yannian would never dare to do it so blatantly."

Liang Zhi nodded silently. After passing Songshan Pass and Guangji, after these battles, the casualties of the Three Hundred Division were not large, but there were still one or two thousand people. Logically speaking, for a meritorious unit like the Three Hundred Division,

The superiors should have given priority to replenishing troops, but Li Yannian did not give any additional troops. He knew very well that there must have been a signal from the superiors this time, otherwise Li Yannian would not have dared to treat the 300 Division in this way even if he had not even ten courages.

After a while, Su Rui suddenly asked: "Zi Ran, do you think it was Chief Chen's instruction?"

Liang Zhi shook his head: "Probably not. Although Chief Chen doesn't like us very much, he won't resort to such despicable methods. If Chief Chen's situation was so small, he wouldn't be where he is today."

"Yeah, that's right!"

Su Rui nodded in agreement. Although Deputy Minister Chen didn't like Su Rui very much, he didn't despise such unflattering methods. There should be someone else who made things difficult for him. But it gave Su Rui a headache.

The only thing is that he still doesn't know who is causing trouble for him, which is what worries him the most.

After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out. Su Rui said irritably: "Forget it, you really want to annoy me. I will take the troops back to Guangdong to fight guerrillas with the Japanese so that I can avoid their jealousy!"

Seeing that Su Rui was so excited, Liang Zhi was afraid that Su Rui would do something irrational in anger, so he quickly persuaded him: "Master, this is just a bad idea. Besides, we haven't reached this point yet."

"I'm just talking." Su Rui sighed. The losses of the army are not big now, and the reduction of personnel is not too much, but it will not be possible if this continues for a long time.

"Forget it, I won't serve them anymore after this battle."

Su Rui was cruel and put the matter aside temporarily and changed the subject.

"Ziran, this time the Japanese are advancing by sea and land. They have dispatched two divisions and more than a dozen warships. It seems that they are bound to win. If they want to defend Tianjia Town, necessary air support is indispensable. Do you have

Is there any good way to make up for our losses?"

In recent times, the 300 Division's flying group has also suffered a lot of losses, especially the Stuka squadron. A full Stuka bombing squadron should have had thirty aircraft, but now there are only twenty-one aircraft left.

The remaining fighter planes have been shot down in these battles. The two fighter squadrons with sixty Wildcat fighters now only have forty fighters left, and the battle loss rate is as high as one-third.

The problem now is that what the 300 Division lacks is not airplanes, but people to fly them. Although there are still a group of students studying intensely at the training base in Suixian County, this group of students has only been studying for more than a month. Let them come out to fight.

They could only serve as a target for the Japanese. Because of this problem, flight captain Zheng Shaoyu was so worried that his hair almost turned white.

After listening to Su Rui's words, Liang Zhi smiled bitterly: "Master, this thing can't be fake. It relies on the real comprehensive national strength and pilot reserve. If I were Monkey King, I could create hundreds or thousands of monsters with just a handful of hair.

The famous flight is pretty much the same.”

Su Rui was stunned after hearing this. Yes, he could produce hundreds or even thousands of airplanes, but could he become a skilled pilot? In the final analysis, wars depend on people. There are good people in later generations who have statistics.

However, during World War II, the average life span of a pilot was only one week.

Yes, it was just a week. In the late period of World War II, why did Japan even have kamikazes? Is it because after several years of fighting, all the experienced pilots were lost, and by the end of the war, even the pilots had not graduated from flight school?

All the students were sent to the battlefield, but these people could only be used as targets in aerial combat, so the kamikaze was born.

"How about seconding another batch from the central government?"

Thinking of this, Su Rui couldn't help but feel a little moved. The current Central Air Force of China has fewer planes and more pilots, but they are just the opposite. Some planes are suffering from unmanned driving. Can you talk to Chief Chen again and transfer a group of pilots to them?

Three hundred divisions are coming.

Su Rui told Liang Zhi this idea, and Liang Zhi nodded and said: "Master, this is a good idea, but Chairman Chiang and Chief Chen are unprofitable and can't afford to do it early. What do you want to trade with them?"

Su Rui pondered for a moment, "What do you think about exchanging medicines with them?"

"Well, I think it will work." Liang Zhi smiled, "Now is the war period, and Western medicine is in short supply. You can exchange a batch of Western medicine with the central government. I believe the Chairman and Chief Chen will be willing."

At noon, Chairman Chiang and Mrs. Chiang were eating in the restaurant. The dishes on the table were very simple, just three vegetarian dishes and one cabbage soup. It looked very simple. At this time, the attendant outside the door came in.

"Report, Chief Chen Cheng is outside asking for an audience!"

Chairman Chiang and Mrs. Chiang looked at each other, with a hint of surprise in their eyes. It was lunch break. Chairman Chiang never saw visitors at this time. Chen Cheng was an old man who had been with Chairman Chiang for more than ten years.

I don't know this. Is there something important that I came here in such a hurry today?

Finally, Mrs. Jiang said: "Darling, you'd better let Cixiu in. He must have something important to do with you now."

Chairman Jiang nodded and said to the attendant: "Well, let him come in."

When Vice Minister Chen came in, Chairman Chiang was wiping his mouth with a napkin. Seeing Vice Minister Chen come in, the general's wife quickly stood up and greeted him with a smile: "Ci Xiu, have you eaten? Come and have some with us.

Let's go!" After saying that, Mrs. Jiang also called the servant next to her to bring over another set of bowls and chopsticks.

Upon seeing this, Vice Minister Chen quickly smiled and declined. Are you kidding? In other people's eyes, it is a great honor to have lunch with the leader of a country. But when he became an official, Vice Minister Chen no longer cared much about such things.

Okay, and Chairman Chiang’s taste is too bland, and it would be a torture to eat with him, so Vice Minister Chen declined to thank him.

After wiping his mouth with a napkin, Chairman Chiang asked: "Cixiu, what's the important thing for you to come here at this time?"

Vice Minister Chen stood up and was about to answer Chairman Chiang's question, but Chairman Chiang waved his hand: "Sit down... sit down and talk!"

At this time, Mrs. Jiang also brought out a plate of fruit and placed it in front of Vice Minister Chen. She smiled and said: "Ci Xiu, I have already said that you don't need to be so polite at home. In the office you should be polite."

Listen to the principal, but you have to listen to me here, I have the final say here, don’t you think so, Darling?”

"Yes! This is home, my wife has the final say!" After hearing this, Chairman Chiang touched his head and laughed. There was a harmonious scene in the restaurant.

Seeing such a situation, Deputy Chief Chen secretly admired Mrs. Chiang's communicative skills. Just a few words brought the relationship between the two parties closer. No wonder the students in the Huangpu Department gave a thumbs up when Mrs. Chiang was mentioned.
