In fact, he regretted it as soon as Suri stood up. When everyone in the room looked at him, he felt a sense of surprise and confusion in everyone's eyes, as if they were looking at a fool.
Don't talk about them, Su Rui was also cursing himself in his heart that he was a fool. He had already made up his mind a long time ago and would not come forward. How could he become so enthusiastic and courageous after being manipulated by Lao Zhang like this? Alas... he was still too young.
.
However, there is no regret medicine to take now. If he regrets after standing up, the consequences will not be something that he, a little brigade commander, can bear.
Seeing Chief Li's question, Su Rui had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Mr. Li, more than half of Chief Zhang's troops have been lost. His more than 7,000 remaining soldiers alone cannot stop the menacing Japanese."
Although I am not talented, I am willing to work with Commander Zhang to help our army retreat."
Speaking of this, Su Rui felt his heart aching. He had just rested for a month and recruited all the troops with the simple formation system. After this break, he didn't know how many troops would be lost. This good man can no longer be a good man.
.
"good!"
At this time, Chief Li was overjoyed. He did not expect that two people would come forward at this time. This also made him overjoyed. After all, there is a big difference between voluntarily and being forced like giving an order.
"At the critical moment, our Bagui disciples are still reliable!"
Chief Li, who had long regarded Su Rui as his half-junior, looked at the two of them excitedly and asked, "Brother Xin Chen, Zhongxin, do you have any requirements if you voluntarily stay here to break up the relationship?"
Zhang Zizhong still said coolly: "Sir, I have no request."
"Where is Zhongxin!"
Chief Li looked at Su Rui with very kind eyes at this moment, as if he were looking at his own nephew.
Su Rui thought for a moment and said, "Sir, the Ministry of Civil Affairs doesn't have any big demands. It's just that the war zone can allocate a batch of gasoline to our 300 Brigade."
"No problem. There is still some gasoline in the theater logistics warehouse. You can take away five hundred barrels." Commander Li agreed to this small request without hesitation.
After agreeing on the candidate for the rear, Chief Li announced the retreat plan. Commanding the retreat of 600,000 troops is not an easy task. With hundreds of thousands of troops and huge supplies, any negligence will lead to irreparable losses.
.
Chief Li pointed to the underground general gate on the map and explained one by one: "The Japanese are now divided into two major regiments, the north and the south, and are coming towards our Xuzhou. The south route regiment is under the jurisdiction of the Central China Expeditionary Army, the 9th, 13th, and 3rd.
116th, 1064th Division.
The North Route Corps consists of eight divisions of the North China Front: the 5th, 10th, 16th, 110th, 103rd, 104th, 105th, and 14th divisions.
, as well as the Yamashita and Sakai regiments and the tank brigade.
The commander-in-chief of the South Route Corps is Lieutenant General Hagenda Nosuke, and the commander-in-chief of the North Route Corps is General Hisao Nishio, the commander of the Japanese Second Army. Everyone, the Japanese army is coming fiercely!"
Looking at the densely packed Japanese troops on the map, the participants all had gloomy faces. Looking at this posture, the Japanese wanted to swallow up the main force of the fifth theater in one go.
Ignoring the expressions of the generals in the audience, Chief Li continued to explain: "And our army has also made countermeasures. I divided our battle area into five corps, commanded by Li Pinxian, Liao Lei, Sun Lianzhong, Tang Enbo and myself.
The order is retreating to western Anhui and southern Henan. Among them, Xiao County is the key to stopping the enemy. Brother Xinchen, Zhongxin, are you confident in holding Xiao County?"
Zhang Zizhong stood up and replied: "Sir, don't worry, as long as Zizhong is alive, he will never let the enemy pass Xiao County within the specified time."
"Okay, okay!" Commander Li nodded with satisfaction. With these two tiger generals, he could safely organize his troops to retreat.
After the meeting, Chief Li left Zhang Zizhong and Su Rui alone and gave his own instructions.
"Brother Xingchen, Zhongxin, you two, remember, this time you are blocking the enemy, not fighting the Japanese. The key is to defend Xiao County, and you must also pay attention to protecting yourself. Can you do it?"
The two men replied together: "Don't worry, Mr. Virtue, the people are still in the position, and the ministry will never let the Japanese cross Xiao County."
After Zhang Zizhong finished speaking, he turned to Su Rui and said, "Commander Su, please tell me the actual number and equipment of your troops so that I can arrange an interception plan."
Seeing the cold expression on Zhang Zizhong's face, Su Rui couldn't help but be a little stunned. He didn't expect this guy to treat others so coldly.
However, out of admiration for this anti-Japanese hero, he did not have the slightest reservation and immediately said loudly: "Sir Zhang, the department currently has two infantry regiments, a teaching regiment, an artillery battalion and an air defense battalion, with a total of combat personnel
More than 7,300 people, more than 2,000 logistics personnel. More than 6,500 rifles, more than 400 light and heavy machine guns, 16 105 howitzers, 12 120 mortars, 40mm anti-aircraft
Twenty-four guns."
"hiss……"
The family background reported by Su Rui made Zhang Zizhong take a breath. Where did this guy come from? It was just a brigade, but its firepower was higher than that of the Central Army. His 59th Army and Su Rui's Third Army
Compared with Bailu, he is just a beggar.
Zhang Zizhong pondered for a while and then said: "Since Brigadier Su has strong troops and horses, I won't be polite. This time, our two armies jointly defend Xiao County. I hope Brigadier Su can provide more artillery support."
Su Rui nodded, "Sir Zhang, don't worry, the department will do its best, but..."
Having said this, Su Rui couldn't help but feel moved, and said to Zhang Zizhong: "Sir Zhang, you and I are both soldiers, we have come together for the same goal, and we are like-minded people. From now on, just call me by my cousin."
What do you think about calling you Brother Xinchen?"
"Well, yes, you two call each other by first names, which makes you look more friendly!" Chief Li on the side was also happy to see the two of them getting closer, and he greatly agreed with this.
Zhang Zizhong looked at Su Rui for a while, then a smile appeared on his originally solemn and dark face, "I, Zhang Zizhong, am a rough man, what are you afraid of if you are not afraid of me?"
Su Rui took a step forward and laughed: "Then I'm so high up, brother Xinchen!"
Zhang Zizhong nodded: "Yes, brother Zhongxin."
Hearing Zhang Zizhong call him that, Su Rui smiled broadly. This anti-Japanese hero who will go down in history actually called him brother.
After laughing, Su Rui's heart moved and said: "Brother Xin Chen, since I call you big brother, then naturally I can't do without a greeting gift. In this way, I will send someone to send you a batch of arms and medicine later. I hope Xin Chen doesn't want it.
dislike."
"Arms?" Zhang Zizhong couldn't help but look at Su Ruilai curiously, "How come Brother Zhongxin has extra arms for me?"
However, Chief Li on the side knew how generous Su Rui was, a local rich man. Seeing that Zhang Zizhong was still a little embarrassed, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Brother Xinchen, you still haven't thanked Zhongxin. Don't worry, all the arms that came out of his hands are worth it."
It’s a good product, if you don’t want me, I’ll accept it with a smile!”
"Oh, is there such a thing?"
Zhang Zizhong was an upright person and did not know that these days people in Xuzhou market were selling medicines in a bustling manner. Otherwise, he would have been even more surprised. He asked curiously: "What are you going to give me, Brother Zhongxin?"
"Let's do this!" Su Rui thought for a while and said with a smile: "I don't have much stuff now. I'll give you six thousand German K98 Mauser rifles, eighty hundred Maxim heavy machine guns, two hundred Czech light machine guns, and bullets
One million rounds, fifty 60 mortars, twelve 75 mountain guns, and 500 shells each, what do you think?"
"What……"
Two exclamations came from the war room at the same time.
Zhang Zizhong's expression changed. He quickly grabbed Su Rui's hand and shouted, "Brother Zhongxin, there is no such thing as joking in the army. You can't joke with me."
Feeling the pain in his arm from being scratched, Su Rui couldn't help but give him a roll of his eyes: "Brother Xinchen, what am I kidding you? Well...if you don't want to, then just pretend that I didn't say it just now, I'll go back first."
!”
"Of course I do. Who doesn't want a grandson?"
Zhang Zizhong stared, and a murderous aura emerged. So many weapons and equipment are enough for his current troops to completely change their equipment. In war years, what is most important is weapons. Not only are they necessary tools to kill the enemy,
And he's a life-saving guy.
At this time, Chief Li asked solemnly: "Zhongxin, there are no outsiders here, tell me the truth, where did you get these weapons? And why are there so many? Before, I only knew that you had an affair with a foreign company.
You have a good relationship, but no matter how good your relationship is with the foreign company, you won’t be given so many weapons for nothing, right?”
"You have to tell me even if you don't ask me." Su Rui thought to herself.
"That's right, sir." Su Rui collected his thoughts and said, "A few years ago, before I joined the military, my old man sent several members of his family to the United States to acquire an arms company and produce weapons in the United States.
And sales. Haven’t we been involved in the war in the past few years, so the arms company’s business has been good and it has made some money, so..."
Having said this, Su Rui laughed twice and stopped talking.
"Oh, it turns out that Zhongxin's child has opened an arms company in the United States?" Chief Li nodded and said with a strange smile on his face.
"Zhongxin, in that case, how about our elder brother discussing it?"
Seeing the smile on Chief Li's face, Su Rui felt a bad feeling in his heart, but he still had to bite the bullet and said: "Sir, please tell me something."
Chief Li smiled and said: "Zhongxin, since you are so capable, how about we do some business?"
"what business?"
"That's it." Chief Li said while staring at Su Rui: "I plan to change the equipment of the Seventh Army in the near future. Can you help me get a standard German armorer's equipment?"
"What, sir, are you going to completely change the uniforms of the Seventh Army?"
When Su Rui heard this, he immediately lost his composure.
