"We don't want China to fight the Japanese. It's a pity...these hateful Japanese, why can't they cooperate with us to attack the Soviet Union, and the head of state...sigh..."
At the new headquarters of the German Military Advisory Group in Chongqing, Falkenhayn was currently falling into a deep state...a state that was close to melancholy.
German Ambassador to China Traudemann once again conveyed the hope of the head of state, that is, an armistice between China and Japan, and he will further mediate.
What the German head of state has been looking forward to is that Japan can join hands with Germany to fight against the Soviet Union, instead of causing a lot of losses in the war with China.
The indisputable fact is that the Japanese Army at this moment is unwilling to stop the invasion because of its successive victories, especially when it has squeezed many lands from China without declaring war.
"General, we have tried our best, and Major Zhang has also tried his best. He not only demonstrated a textbook retreat, but also assisted other military services in conducting incredible operations. Unfortunately...but General, we must obey the orders of the government.
"
Colonel Horst was also speechless about the phone call the general had just received.
"Your Excellency, the Chairman of the General Committee, arranged Colonel Zhang like this, could it be because he did not report his battle plan to Commander Zhou in advance? Damn it, those Chinese bureaucrats will not keep it secret at all, and his choice was prudent."
"But the characteristic of Chinese bureaucrats is that they hope that talents can be used by them, but they lack respect for professional talents. In addition, I am worried..."
After getting up and putting his hands behind his back in his new office in Chongqing, General Falkenhausen slowly walked around the room aimlessly.
"General, I don't think you need to worry. Even if Major Zhang wants to participate in the defense of Jinling, maybe we can find a good position for him. Soldiers like him will create miracles on the battlefield."
Hearing Major Horst's words, General Falkenhausen stopped in confusion.
"What, do you know something that I don't know?"
"No, of course not. General, I just want to know where they will be deployed, and then I hope that Major Zhang can fight a surprising battle."
Hearing Colonel Horst's words, Falkenhausen nodded slowly but said nothing.
A good soldier was sent to the battlefield because of a political contest. Originally, he did not have to participate in this battle. But he knew how Zhang Sixing, as a soldier who returned to fight the war, would answer.
"Of course we will participate. As a soldier, there is no time to leave when the country is in crisis. However, we will be delayed for two days because we are waiting for supplies. Call back and tell General Tang that we will arrive at the designated location on time."
Zhang Sixing had long been aware of the requirement for the Paratrooper School to participate in the upcoming Battle of Jinling.
Just when he was answering Captain Qin Derong's inquiry, Jiang Qiyan, the captain of the 13th Brigade, suddenly opened the tent and came in. Zhang Sixing's words were heard outside the tent. After entering, his face looked slightly embarrassed.
Looking at Captain Qin Derong, Jiang Qiyan nodded, then looked at Zhang Sixing but did not speak.
"Captain Qin, you can leave. The telegram will be sent according to my order."
"yes"
Captain Qin Derong did not say much, but gave a military salute to Zhang Si and nodded to Jiang Qiyan.
"Why, Principal Zhang, don't you go to Kunming?"
Facing Jiang Qiyan's knowing question, Zhang Sixing nodded with a normal expression.
"Yes."
"The government doesn't know what it thinks. People like you should concentrate on training from behind and send talents like you to the front line of fire..."
Looking at Jiang Qiyan's indignant look, Zhang Sixing asked,
"Captain Jiang, what about you, are you still stationed in Jurong?"
Hearing Zhang Sixing finally asked, Jiang Qiyan's face became even more embarrassed. He looked to the side and pretended not to care, and said,
"Principal Zhang, we...we were ordered to receive aircraft and training aided by the Soviet Union, so we are retreating from Jurong. We leave those delta wings to you, we..."
The more Jiang Qiyan talked, the more he felt unable to continue. Not only did his voice get softer, but his head also tended to lower.
After all, their group still has several fighter jets, and even the six captured Japanese D1A/Type 94 dive bombers have been repaired, and at least four bombers can be used.
Leaving like this with an intact fighter plane, I always feel like a group of deserters, especially after conducting an almost perfect silent sneak attack.
If possible, using the type of cluster incendiary bombs dropped that night, even with only four dive bombers, could still carry out a proper strike against the Japanese ground forces.
pity……
Zhang Sixing stepped forward and held Jiang Qiyan's hand.
"That's good, that's good. Since all the flying teams on the Songhu battlefield have been disabled, it's time to leave the battlefield to rest and replenish. The elite of the Air Force should not be lost in this situation. In addition, we are also ready to leave.
Our school received an order from Commander-in-Chief Tang to go to Jinling to participate in the war."
"Then let's meet again on other battlefields."
Jiang Qiyan's hand increased its strength and held tightly with Zhang Sixing's hand.
The friendship between soldiers is that simple. After a fierce battle test, each other becomes a trustworthy brother.
Just as Zhang Sixing was saying goodbye to Jiang Qiyan, Chennault opened the tent curtain and came in.
"Good news, Principal Zhang, good news, I finally found a suitable place for you in Kunming."
Seeing his joyful expression, Zhang Sixing's heart was also excited. His paratrooper school was finally about to open.
"The Wu family is afraid..."
Listening to the weird place names spelled out by Chennault, Zhang Sixing couldn't figure out where he was talking about. He grabbed the telegram from his hand and saw the location approved for him.
"Near Kunming Wujiaba Airport, the Central Air Force Officer School in Piling has established a paratrooper academy..."
"Shan Gang, go and call Captain Qin from the confidential room."
"It's my lord."
Looking at the telegram, Zhang Sixing thought about the place name Wujiaba, but he didn't have the slightest impression in his mind. He didn't even have much impression of the airport in Yunnan.
In fact, there were more than 50 airports in Yunnan during the Anti-Japanese War, and the airport density could even be said to be the highest in the world. And it was not because of the Flying Tigers and the Hump Aircraft Carrier that there were so many airports.
Before the July 7th Incident, there were 24 airports in Yunnan, and after the July 7th Incident, more than 20 airports were built.
From a certain perspective, these airports played a huge role in the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.
"Zhang, I am honored to be able to carry out that moonlight operation with you. I will return to the United States as soon as possible and do something good."
Speaking of having an air force under his own command, it has always been Chennault's dream.
"I'm waiting for you to come back. You are all important to our paratrooper school..."
