After hearing what He Yingqin said, a smile seemed to flash across Feng Yuxiang's face.
"I have also heard that he is currently fighting very lively with the Japanese in Peiping." Feng Yuxiang said calmly: "But have we forgotten that there is still a place where a commander-in-chief has not been appointed?"
"Sir Feng, I don't seem to have missed anything in my humble position." He Yingqin was very puzzled.
The big bosses and dignitaries beside him, including the chairman of the committee, also showed strange expressions. Everyone heard clearly just now that each war zone included all places in the country. There was no omission. How could the Ministry of Military Affairs make such a mistake?
Such a low-level mistake.
"Siberia" a voice came out slowly from Feng Yuxiang's mouth.
Although the voice was low, it struck everyone's hearts like a thunderbolt.
"Siberia it it" He Yingqin stammered and was speechless. Everyone including the Chairman was also shocked.
"What the hell? Now that it has been defeated by Su Tong, it is also our Chinese territory. Why can't we send a commander? It's not that I, Old Feng, look down on you. In this regard, none of you can compare.
Go to Su Tong."
Feng Yuxiang's voice echoed loudly in the conference room.
"I know there are people in the central government who say that this Su Tong who respects his troops and respects himself and refuses to obey the discipline of the central government will be a disaster sooner or later. But what I want to say is that no matter how much Su Tong respects his troops and respects himself, he is still a Chinese, and the territory he will conquer in the future
That is also the territory of our Chinese people. They are attacking the Japanese and Lao Maozi, but why do some people always hold him back? I, Feng Yuxiang, have not read many books, but I know that he, Su Tong, is now setting the foundation for our country.
He has made great achievements. Opening up the territory and expanding the territory. In ancient times, that was the achievement of sealing the wolf from the throne. It’s okay if you don’t help him, but you have to hold him back from behind. Isn’t it too much?”
The venue was completely silent except for Feng Yuxiang's loud voice floating in the conference room.
"Ahem!" He Yingqin coughed twice: "Sir Feng, we will still discuss the issue of Siberia later. This issue involves major events in China and the Soviet Union. Ying Qin thinks he should think twice before acting."
After the defeat of the Central Plains War, Feng Yuxiang was forced to live in seclusion in Mount Tai. Last year, he was invited by the Chairman to come back and serve as a nominal vice-chairman of the Military Commission. Feng Yuxiang was extremely disgusted with the National Government's practice of internal fighting between insiders and outside fighting against outsiders.
He has also seen all the little tricks the Chairman of the Generalissimo used his old subordinate Song Zheyuan and others to do to Su Tong these days. He is extremely dissatisfied. Today he jumped out and fired at the Central Committee through the Siberian incident. Anyway, this
He no longer wants to be the vice chairman in name only.
At this time, everyone looked extremely embarrassed and did not dare to say a word. Feng Yuxiang, the Siberian War Zone, could figure out that if a Siberian War Zone was really created, it would mean that the central government had openly announced to the world that Siberia was the territory of China.
It would be strange if Stalin didn't go crazy.
"Why are you all mute? Su Tong had the guts to shoot him down, but you don't even have the guts to make a statement. I see that you are all a group of people who eat nothing but corpses."
In the conference room, Yan Xishan still looked honest and smiling, Li Zongren was drinking tea, and Liu Xiang was looking at his nails. Everyone had different expressions, including shame, disdain, and livid expressions.
In the end, the Chairman came out to smooth things over: "Okay, let's leave the Siberian matter to be discussed later. For now, let's talk about the various war zones. Brother, what do you think?"
The chairman of the committee shouted like a sworn brother, and Feng Yuxiang couldn't help but sit down immediately.
In fact, Chairman Jiang has cursed Niang Xipi countless times in his heart, but Feng Yuxiang is his sworn brother. Even if he is angry, he will not complain to Feng Yuxiang at the venue. Otherwise, if word spreads, he will return someone's name.
How shameless.
"Since Su Tong did not come to attend the meeting, we still have to send him his appointment. I suggest that we discuss the deployment of troops in each war zone."
Feng Yuxiang's outburst at this meeting soon reached Su Tong's ears with the central government's appointment letter to Su Tong. After hearing this, Su Tong just laughed and said nothing.
"Jianming, congratulations, you have been promoted again. Commander of the Seventh War Zone," Jiang Baili joked in surprise.
"Well, this theater commander is a tightrope. The chairman of the general committee arranged this job for me because he clearly wanted to tie me to the northwest."
Seeing Chief Su's helpless expression, Jiang Baili couldn't help laughing: "You, you, I don't know you yet, will you be bound by this false name?"
"Haha, our chief of staff still understands me. However, as the saying goes, every loss must have a gain. Chiang Kai-shek gave us the name of a theater and the designations of five group armies, so our numbers can be expanded again."
Having said this, Su Tong couldn't help but feel a little proud.
"A large army only has 700,000 to 80,000 troops, while a small army only has 10,000 to 20,000 troops. Your army has nearly 700,000 troops, which is quite interesting."
Jiang Baili couldn't help but laugh in surprise. It was funny to say that Su Tong had an army of 700,000 people and nearly fifty divisions, but he only had the designation of a group army. I'm afraid it would break the world record in the future.
"Jianming, we only have two divisions in Peiping now. Do you think they are too thin? I'm worried."
Although Jiang Baili hadn't finished what he said, Su Tong knew that Jiang Baili was worried. Yes, with only two divisions of troops, they had to fight with three divisions of the Japanese army. No one would be sure. So why wasn't Su Tong worried?
But the current military strength is really tight.
There are 300,000 troops accumulated on the border between Siberia and the Soviet Union. Some time ago, Sun Liren marched to Vladivostok with an armored division and two infantry divisions. In order to prevent the Soviet Union from taking advantage of the situation and entering the Mongolian border, they also stationed troops.
We have six divisions with 100,000 troops. After calculation, we have accumulated nearly 450,000 troops in the north. The remaining 250,000 troops have to be distributed in an area as large as three provinces. The use of troops is really very tight.
ah.
Although there are tens of thousands of recruits in the recruit training camp, they are not of use yet. Su Tong now wishes he had the ability to spread the word to recruit soldiers, otherwise he would not be in such an embarrassing situation.
After pondering for a long time, Su Tong gritted his teeth and said, "Otherwise, let's first send two local garrison brigades to follow the 10th and 11th Divisions to supplement their strength."
“That’s all it can do”
As the chief of staff, Jiang Baili was naturally aware of Commander Su's difficulties, so he had no choice but to smile bitterly and nod.
"Da da da da" A burst of intensive gunshots rang out on a street. Those familiar with it must have recognized that it was the sound of a Somi submachine gun.
Now the whole of Peiping is filled with the sound of gunfire, and the Japanese army and Chahar's army are fighting each other in this ancient city.
The two sides are now engaged in the most brutal street fighting. There is no front or rear here. Several enemies may appear around you at any time and shoot you with bullets.
In this era, no one may have felt the cruelty of street fighting. However, Chief Su, who knew something about it, specially sent someone to send a batch of sharp weapons for street fighting. It is the famous Remington M870 shotgun, commonly known as the troll.
Gun gun.
A shotgun is a single-person smoothbore weapon that mainly fires shotguns at close range to kill living targets. Its range is about 150 meters, and it has strong firepower at close range, quick response, and full-scale killing.
ability, so it can show its talents in night battles, encounters, ambush, counter-ambush and other battles.
Considering that the 10th and 12th Divisions may encounter brutal street fighting in Peiping, and the Garand rifle may not be so useful in such situations, Su Tong specifically asked Chahar's arsenal to copy the famous rifle according to the drawings.
Remington shotgun.
At the beginning, the troops jokingly said that even a blind man could fight with it. They didn't like it very much, so they assigned them to soldiers who were usually not good at marksmanship. But after using it, they
Gradually realize the benefits of using this firearm.
The main reason is that its killing range is really large. Enemies within a certain range will basically not be able to escape with one shot. The more people there are in a certain distance, the more people will die. It's like being in a building.
A great weapon in war.
"Hurry, everyone, follow up."
Ren Ran carefully walked in the alleys of Peiping with more than 200 remaining soldiers of the first battalion. Originally, the regiment commander wanted to leave the first battalion with nearly two-thirds of the casualties at the airport to serve as guard duty, but Ren Ran was still alive.
He refused, and after replenishing weapons and ammunition, he led the brothers from the first battalion through the streets of Peiping.
"Be careful, there are traces of fighting ahead. Liuzi, take a few brothers over to take a look." After several brutal battles, the soldiers of the first battalion have transformed into an elite fighting team.
The cooperation has also reached a level of tacit understanding.
Following Ren Ran's gesture, the soldiers scattered in all directions. The sergeant named Liuzi led three soldiers to a house carefully. At this time, they faintly heard several people talking inside.
sound.
After dealing with the Japanese, Liu Zi heard that the jabbering voice inside was speaking Japanese.
Liu Zi put his hand on his back and made a silent gesture. Ren Ran, who was behind him, had a clear look. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers surrounded the house.
Ren Ran quietly approached the window and found that there were more than a dozen Japanese soldiers inside, rummaging through boxes and cabinets looking for things. There were three corpses wearing civilian clothes lying on the ground. It seemed that these Japanese soldiers must have done something good.
Ren Ran stepped back and gestured with anger. The two soldiers holding Remingtons behind him immediately kicked them away and rushed in.
