Although Bai Chongxi was also surprised by the generosity of the Seventh Army, his ability to cultivate Qi was much higher than that of Zhou Huangzu, so when he heard Zhou Huangzu's words, he couldn't help but blush for him. This old subordinate of his was really a bumpkin in the city.
, making a fuss about everything I see.
But even though he was used to big scenes, he had to be amazed by the generosity of the Seventh Army. After scolding Zhou Huangzu, Bai Chongxi also smiled and said to Bai Jingran: "Haha, we are not afraid of Commander Bai's jokes. We people usually
I'm used to being poor, so I'm really not used to seeing such a wealthy lineup, which makes you laugh."
Bai Jingran also smiled slightly: "Sir, what are you talking about? Now that we have joined forces, we are a family. Commander Su has an order that while you are in charge of the war in Fujian, all military affairs and supplies in Fujian will be yours."
Command and dispatch, the staff will give you all the troops and material information in Fujian later."
"Well, then I'm not welcome."
Bai Chongxi accepted it unceremoniously. He had been in the army for decades and had never commanded such a luxurious lineup. Forget about hundreds of thousands of troops, he actually had hundreds of fighter planes under his command. This was a big surprise to him.
It was really the first time for a young girl to get on a sedan chair.
He thought for a while and said to Zhou Huangzu: "Jie Zhai, you have to remember that the first thing you do when you go to Minqing is to launch a large-scale attack on Minqing. I don't want you to annihilate or defeat them."
, but you must beat them painfully, exert continuous pressure on them, and consume as much of their vitality as possible. The more, the better. Otherwise, when the Japanese Kwantung Army arrives, the pressure on your side will be great. Do you understand?
"
"yes!"
Zhou Huangzu saluted Bai Chongxi and turned to leave, but was stopped by Bai Jingran.
"Brother Jie Zhai, please stay!"
Zhou Huangzu stopped and turned around and asked with some confusion: "Commander Bai, do you have any other orders?"
"I don't accept the order." Bai Jingran pondered for a moment and then said: "Brother Jie Zhai, you are my senior, so I shouldn't say anything more. You know too much about the war than I do, but I still
There are some things I feel uncomfortable saying, and I hope you can listen to what I have to say."
Zhou Huangzu said solemnly: "Commander Bai, please speak!"
Bai Jingran said sternly: "Then let's just say it for now, please just listen. Brother Jie Zhai, since we are already a family, then I will tell you about the characteristics of our group army's war. Our Seventh Group Army
Since its establishment, under the leadership of Commander Su, some relatively unique ways of fighting have been formed. This method is nothing special. To outsiders, it is nothing more than planes bombing cannons, and tanks and chariots clearing the way. But I want to say
The thing is, they didn’t even get to the point.”
Hearing this, even Bai Chongxi's interest was piqued, with a look of interest in his eyes.
A hint of sarcasm appeared on Bai Jingran's face, "Actually, all our combat methods reflect one goal, which is to win the greatest victory with the least casualties. We have been working hard for this goal. Now there is a point of view in the country.
It is said that our Seventh Army is a young army. If we don't have aircraft and heavy artillery, we may not even be able to fight. In fact, people who hold this view are the kind of people who say grapes are sour before they can eat them.
In our country, there has always been a view that equipment is more valuable than people. Some commanders are even willing to sacrifice the lives of more than ten or even hundreds of soldiers for a heavy artillery. Maybe they have one or other reasons, but for a heavy artillery
We always despise this kind of behavior. In our Seventh Army, the commander has only one mission, which is to save the lives of the soldiers as much as possible while completing the mission. Every soldier is the result of the hard work of his parents.
It took them more than ten years to grow up. None of us have the right to squander their lives at will. Otherwise, it would be irresponsible for life and irresponsible for soldiers. So what I want to say to you is, Brother Jie Zhai
, the heavy artillery and aircraft assigned to you are not decorations, and you must not be stingy with their use, do you understand?"
Bai Jingran's remarks made Zhou Huangzu stunned, and Bai Chongxi began to think deeply. After a while, Zhou Huangzu took a deep look at Bai Jingran, saluted him solemnly, and said in a solemn voice: "
Commander Bai, Huangzu has learned a lesson!" After saying that, Zhou Huangzu strode out of the headquarters...
Bai Chongxi, who had finished thinking for a long time, said to Bai Jingran: "Commander Bai, it seems that not only do you use American equipment in your weapons and equipment, but your combat thinking is also very similar to that of the Americans."
"Yes, sir!" Kashiwa Jing said solemnly: "We have always believed that if the aircraft and tanks are gone, we can buy them again, and if the bullets and rifles are gone, we can rebuild them. But if the lives of soldiers are lost, they can never be saved. Therefore, our combat guidance
The idea is very simple, that is, use the fiercest artillery fire as much as possible to inflict heavy damage on the enemy, and then let our infantry follow closely, so as to minimize casualties."
Bai Chongxi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This kind of combat idea is certainly good, but it also requires that the side it is fighting must have extremely strong logistical support capabilities and strong comprehensive strength, otherwise it will not be able to support such a huge consumption. You
Do you think we officials like to sacrifice the lives of soldiers in exchange for victory? There is no other way. If you let those troops with nearly half of the soldiers holding swords and spears play with fire coverage, isn't that a joke? So...
...Sigh..." At this point, Bai Chongxi waved his hands and didn't want to talk any more.
Bai Jingran waved his hands at this time, "Sir, the Ministry is just a soldier responsible for fighting. How to supply the troops and consume them is a matter for the rear, so the Ministry has always been indifferent to such matters."
"Haha..." Bai Chongxi was amused by Bai Jingran's rogue face and laughed dumbly, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Now I want to see if Zhou Huangzu can give me a surprise when he arrives in Minqing. But now,
Since I have so many good cards, wouldn’t it be a pity not to give the Japanese a look..."
"call……"
A shadow quickly passed across the earth, and soon disappeared at the end of the earth, followed by another black shadow, and at the same time, there was a passing roar.
These are two P-51 Mustang fighter jets painted in green camouflage. They are like two vigorous swallows passing through the low altitude less than 300 meters above the ground. In the cockpit of a Mustang fighter jet, Feng Xiaoming is concentrating on
Looking ahead, the joystick in his hand is slowly adjusting the angle. Although flying at this height does not require as much energy as flying at ultra-low altitude, the pilot cannot be as unrestrained as flying at high altitude. After all, there are some mountain peaks here.
The height is over 300 meters. It would be unjust if you accidentally hit the mountain.
The voice of his wingman came from the headset of Feng Xiaoming, who was sitting in the cabin: "Sir, you said these little devils are too cunning. We have been waiting here for several days, but we have not found any trace of them. On weekdays,
Didn't they brag that the Kwantung Army was the most elite force in Japan? How come they have become less courageous than a mouse? We have never seen them since they set off from the Northeast. This is very wrong."
According to the tradition of the Seventh Army Air Force, where the old lead the new, Feng Xiaoming’s current wingman has been replaced by another person. Of course, this person is naturally a rookie who just came out of the crash course at the aviation school. This newly assigned wingman is...
Tuberculosis, now he is complaining endlessly to Feng Xiaoming.
Feng Xiaoming said angrily: "Luo Gan, please stop saying a few words. We are flying at a low altitude now. Concentrate on flying your plane, otherwise you will not survive if it hits the top of a mountain, even if you have nine lives."
"Yes!" Luo Gan closed his mouth unwillingly.
After scolding Luo Gan, Feng Xiaoming's eyes couldn't help but search the ground, looking at the looming road. How he expected to suddenly see rows of marching teams. But things are not always all right.
As expected, the earth is still empty.
Today is already Feng Xiaoming's third day of searching in this area, and there is still no sign of large-scale Japanese reinforcements. Uncertainty of the enemy's situation has always been a taboo for military strategists. Xiao Zhuge, who is commanding in Fujian, is naturally very anxious.
According to intelligence, there are three infantry divisions and one tank division of the Japanese Kwantung Army entering the customs. Now the tank division and the 24th Division have arrived in Zhejiang and are traveling along the Hengjiang River.
Prefecture, Longquan moved south, but the other two divisions, the 2nd and 3rd Division, remained unabated and seemed to disappear out of thin air. This had to arouse Bai Chongxi's great attention. For this reason, he sent dozens of fighter planes along the route.
We searched all the way to Ningde, Fu'an, Taishun and other places, and even went deep into Zhejiang for investigation, but still found nothing.
Logically speaking, it should be a happy thing not to discover the enemy's situation, but Bai Chongxi, who has been in the army for decades, knows deeply that the invisible enemy is the most dangerous and terrifying thing, because you don't know when it will appear.
Jump out of nowhere and bite you. And the Second Division and the Third Division are not easy to deal with, especially the Second Division. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the most elite divisions in Japan. Bai Chongxi does not want to be there
When the fight with the Japanese was in full swing, he was suddenly defeated by two divisions that suddenly appeared. Therefore, he also gave death orders to the two flying regiments stationed in Fujian, and they must be found.
come out.
Bai Chongxi firmly believed that the two divisions combined had nearly 60,000 people. Such a huge team would never be able to escape detection from the air. Therefore, in the past few days, Feng Xiaoming's flying squadron equipped with long-range Mustang fighters also
He was sent out to work as a reconnaissance aircraft...
