Chapter 401 Brothers are outside the wall to resist their insults
Late at night on February 13, 1938, the twenty-seventh year of the Republic of China, dark clouds pressed down on the Central Plains: "Don't forget you and the man to the west."
After hearing this, Zhang Zizhong sighed and became silent. Now everyone in China knows about the relationship between Zhang Zizhong and Su Tong. Who is Zhang Zizhong? He is the sworn brother of the Northwest King. How much does Su Tong value this sworn brother?
As we all know, the equipment of Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army in the Fifth Theater is the only one in the world.
Su Tong spared no effort in supporting Zhang Zizhong. Now the nearly 40,000 troops of the 59th Army were all equipped with Mauser rifles. If it were not for the fact that Zhang Zizhong was far away in the fifth theater and the ammunition supply was inconvenient, he would have replaced them with Garand rifles.
Well, although the submachine guns are not as good as those of Su Tong's troops in the seventh theater, each regiment still has hundreds of them. There are also five Maxim heavy machine guns equipped in each company. As for the Czech light machine guns, they are even equipped to the first squad.
Level units. There are also four twenty-gun box guns that each squad can equip. Each division is equipped with a regiment's 70mm infantry cannon and a large number of mortars for easy movement. This equipment is
Even the Central Military Army is jealous.
With this wealth, Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army is now the first major force in the Fifth War Zone. The relationship between Zhang Zizhong and Su Tong has already aroused the suspicion of the Chairman. If Zhang Zizhong reported to Chairman Chiang for Yang
If Master Junchang pleads for mercy, the consequences can be imagined.
After walking through the door, he saw Li Zongren meditating on the battle map. Zhang Zizhong came in. He said unceremoniously: "Brother Xing Chen, come and see, the Japanese army is attacking Linyi now, and Pang Bingxun's army will not be able to support it."
Well, if Pang Bingxun's troops are defeated, the consequences will be disastrous. Brother Xingchen, your fifty-ninth army's combat power is well known in our fifth theater. It is you who must relieve the siege of Linyi. Pang Bingxun is fighting bloody battles at the front. I hope
You put the country first, and after being aggrieved, you hurriedly led your troops to Linyi to fight."
There is a reason why Li Zongren was so polite to Zhang Zizhong. Zhang and Pang were both former members of Feng Yuxiang of the Northwest Army. During the Central Plains War, Pang Bingxun secretly descended on Chiang Kai-shek and defected before the battle, causing great damage to Zhang's department and Zhang Zizhong was also seriously injured. He was transferred to the fifth
Since that day in the war zone, Zhang Zizhong had privately expressed to the Chief of Staff of the Fifth War Zone: He would fight to the death on any battlefield, but he did not want to be on the same battlefield as Pang Bingxun. Linyi was in danger this time, but Li Zongren had no troops to mobilize, so he
Can Zhang Zizhong be asked to come to the rescue?
Zhang Zizhong took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Brothers are hiding outside the wall to defend themselves against his insults. I have an old grudge with Pang Bingxun, but now we are fighting for the country together. It is my duty to rescue Pang Bingxun and I will absolutely obey orders."
"Okay." Li Zongren was overjoyed, "Brother Xin Chen really understands justice. If so, please rush to Linyi as soon as possible to break the siege of Pang Bingxun's tribe."
"It's a humble job and I'll go immediately." Zhang Zizhong saluted solemnly and left.
At this time, Staff Officer Wu came over and said to Li Zongren: "Sir Li, the situation in our fifth theater is critical now. Why not ask Chief Su from the seventh theater to send a plane to provide assistance?"
Li Zongren shook his head, "No, the Chairman is already very suspicious of Jianming. If he knows that our two theaters support each other without asking for permission, what will happen?"
Staff Officer Wu immediately understood that if Chairman Chiang knew that the fifth and seventh theaters were cooperating so closely, Li Zongren's position as commander-in-chief of the fifth theater might not be guaranteed.
"Alas" looking at the dark sky, Li Zongren felt worried about the soldiers who were fighting bloody battles on the front line.
