At that time, it seemed that he was already quite big?
It seems that ordinary fighter jets or bombers cannot be brought up.
Or bring two at most.
As far as the air forces of the world's major powers controlled by Zhang Yong are concerned, no one has a clear concept of strategic bombers.
The German fighter jets are very powerful, and the Stuka is also pretty good. However, they don’t understand strategic bombing at all.
No one even suggested it.
At least, Zhang Yong hasn't seen the relevant information yet.
The Doolittle and others he came into contact with had no knowledge of this aspect yet.
For the world's major powers, the world is still peaceful for the time being. No country has yet realized that a war is about to begin.
If Zhang Yong said that the world war would begin in two years, the great powers would probably regard him as a lunatic.
Do the Germans have any plans to attack Poland now?
Not sure.
There may be.
But even if there is, the plan is probably not too complete.
It seems like I can get some benefit from it?
The Germans themselves don’t know it, but Zhang Yong already knows it. It seems that he can make money by selling some information?
If you don’t have any information, you can just make it up yourself!
Anyway, as long as the content is true.
He didn't care whether Poland lived or died, the key was to get some small money from Britain and the United States.
At the same time, it also deepened his sense of mystery about Zhang Yong.
I really know how to get information!
The information I got is really accurate!
want to?
Give me money!
Just pounds, dollars, or gold.
No francs required.
No rubles.
What? Where did my information come from?
I can tell you.
But give me the money first!
Ha ha!
Laughing to death.
Unfortunately, he has been separated from the World Intelligence Network for some time.
He has not been in contact with intelligence organizations such as Safiya for a long time. He is still busy fighting the war. Let's talk about it when we have time.
And France is getting closer and closer to sudden death. I don’t have any plans to harvest wool yet.
Seeing such a behemoth suddenly collapse, I won't be able to sleep at night unless I make some profit.
From now on, the world is changing, and every minute is a business opportunity. Every second is a chance to make money.
If you don’t make a lot of money, how can you live up to yourself?
There is not much left to be fished for in the country. The ceiling is limited and there are not many options.
The focus must be on the whole world. On the world powers, they must plunder crazily on the fallen corpses of imperialism.
In addition to making money, you can also make money for talents, resources, enterprises, and technology...
I wonder if there are any beautiful girls in Poland?
"well……"
Beating myself on the head hard. I hope I can become smarter.
It would be nice if I were the kind of protagonist who is wise, powerful, and clever. He has the pearl of wisdom in his hand and is sure of winning. With a flash of his eyes, he has a plan in mind.
Domineering, sweeping in all directions.
Unfortunately, I am too mediocre...
"Commissioner!"
"Commissioner!"
Someone crawled up from behind.
They seemed to be the communications troops of the 107th Division. They all looked like clay monkeys.
"What's up?"
"Commissioner, I have your telegram."
"What content?"
"Top secret. Only you can see it. It's from the Supreme Command."
"Yeah?"
Zhang Yong frowned.
Why is the telegram so top-secret? Are you kidding me?
He had never had much confidence in the confidentiality of the National Army's telegrams. He felt like they were being sieved.
Even the telegrams from the Supreme Command could be deciphered by the Japanese invaders. Therefore, subconsciously, Zhang Yong refused to send important information through the radio.
Chiang Kai-shek used telegrams to direct himself. Maybe the Japanese invaders would also know.
Therefore, if you foolishly follow the instructions, you might fall into an ambush by the Japanese invaders.
Be careful in everything.
Safety first.
Turn around, bend your waist, and return to the 107th Division Headquarters.
Fortunately, as a new force, the 107th Division carried some necessary living supplies. There are still wooden benches.
"Commissioner."
The communications section chief holds the coded message.
This role is not easy to play. It is very important. It is easy to die.
He has too many secrets. Therefore, the retreat must be done first for safety.
If there is any danger, he may be captured alive by the Japanese invaders. Then, the guards of the Communications Section have the task of killing him on the spot.
It's not a permission. It's a task. It's a must.
There is no public order. But the unspoken rules are like this.
"Give it to me."
"Commissioner, only you can read it. After reading it, keep it by yourself."
"Know."
Zhang Yong nodded.
He reached out and took the telegram.
Sure enough, it was from the Supreme Command.
The content is very simple -
Immediately go to the Central Corps headquarters, enforce military law, and execute Chen Qingfu, the former commander of the 77th Division.
Finished reading.
???
frown.
Who is Chen Qingfu? I don’t know him!
What happened? The punishment was so serious. Execution on the spot?
Escape?
I guess so. None of the other crimes would lead to death.
Now the Songhu battlefield is a mess. The direct troops have suffered heavy casualties. The situation is unfavorable. Chiang Kai-shek is definitely not happy in his heart.
It is said that the ministers from nine countries were invited to a meeting and they were asked to mediate, but it didn't seem to be going well?
Maybe, at this very moment, Chiang Kai-shek was feeling angry in his heart.
At this time, one or two people must be arrested to scare the monkeys.
This Chen Qingfu happened to hit the muzzle of the gun.
Turn around and look at the elephant wall.
"Do you know Chen Qingfu? Commander of the 77th Division."
"I know this person, but I'm not familiar with him. Reports say that the 77th Division has been fighting in the Hezaobang area."
"Haizaobang?"
Zhang Yong was deeply impressed by this name.
Because when I was reading a book before, I found that out of the three words, I couldn’t pronounce two of them.
I knew how to pronounce the word "zao" in the middle. So after going back and forth, I actually remembered it. This place was also the meat grinder of the Songhu Battle. It was the same as Luodian.
Rozaobang is actually a river that leads from Wusongkou all the way inland.
Normally, it would be a quiet little river.
Occasionally, fishing boats and small transport ships pass by.
There are girls and young women washing clothes by the river.
There are children playing in the water.
There are white cranes swimming on the water.
However, now, during the war, it has become a key target for the Japanese invaders.
The Japanese invaders tried to control the river and separated the national troops on both sides of the river and annihilated them one by one. At the same time, the river was also conducive to the Japanese invaders' logistics transportation.
Although it is a small river, the Japanese invaders' Minekaze-class destroyers can enter.
This kind of destroyer has a displacement of only 1,200 tons and a very shallow draft. It can go deep inland along the Zozaobang and use its naval guns to provide artillery support to the Japanese Army Red Deer.
For the national army, guarding Zhaizao Bang is also a very important task.
Once the Japanese invaders break through, the Songhu battlefield will be divided into two parts.
Then the situation will be even worse.
Therefore, the national army concentrated more than a dozen divisions on both sides of the river.
The Japanese invaders also concentrated a lot of troops. The 13th, 101st, and 118th Divisions transferred from North China, as well as the Chongteng Detachment transferred from Taiwan, are all here.
There seem to be two independent infantry brigades. They are both made of pure sticks. They are as ferocious as the Japanese invaders.
"Give me the map."
"yes."
Someone will send a map soon.
Zhang Yong unfolded and had a general understanding of his own troop deployment.
The area north of Haizaobang, including Luodian, Yuepu, Baoshan and other places, belongs to the Left Wing Corps. It has jurisdiction over the 15th and 19th Army Groups.
The commander is Chen Cheng.
South of Hazaobang and north of Suzhou River. It belongs to the Central Corps. It has jurisdiction over the 9th Army and so on.
The commander is Zhu Shaoliang.
South of the Suzhou River, all the way to Hangzhou Bay. It belongs to the Right Wing Corps. It has jurisdiction over the 8th and 10th Army Groups, etc.
The commander is Zhang Fakui.
However, deployment is deployment, and the reality is messy.
The Supreme Headquarters is no longer able to effectively divide the defense zones of the division-level troops below. Hit wherever you go.
It also contains Chiang Kai-shek's own selfish motives.
So it appeared that Zhang Yong was obviously fighting on the Luodian side, but his affiliation was with the Central Corps.
It is estimated that Chiang Kai-shek knew that Zhang Yong and Chen Cheng could not deal with him, so he assigned him to Zhu Shaoliang.
Zhu Shaoliang knew it well and would never question Zhang Yong.
In other words, right now, Zhang Yong is actually independent at all.
He only accepted orders from the Supreme Command, which was personally commanded by Chiang Kai-shek. Other commanders of the corps consciously ignored Zhang Yong.
There is a Central Teaching Corps in Zhang Fakui's combat area in the south. However, they also do not listen to Zhang Fakui. Instead, they are subordinate to Chen Cheng.
The same goes for the tax police corps. The commander of the corps is probably unable to command either.
A characteristic of Chiang Kai-shek. It was done on purpose.
No one can monopolize power, just in case someone wants to wear a yellow robe when the weather is cold.
He was clearly in Luodian, but he had to go to Zhu Shaoliang's headquarters and travel across mountains and rivers to execute a division commander.
joke……
Couldn't Zhu Shaoliang execute him himself?
Corps commander, group army commander, corps commander, division commander...
There are several levels in between.
The commander of your corps cannot execute a division commander?
Then why are you the commander of the corps? Go home!
It doesn't matter whether you plant sweet potatoes or corn. Anyway, you don't have to come back to the battlefield. It's embarrassing.
Shake his head.
Take your mind back.
Lead the team and set off.
The orders of the Supreme Command must be followed.
Zhang Yong himself also wanted to see what was going on. Why was a division commander executed? What was the serious crime?
For your own safety, it is necessary to bring a battalion with you.
Just then, the 112th Division of the New Force was ready to join the battlefield. So an infantry battalion was dispatched to follow Zhang Yong.
All the way south.
I met an acquaintance on the north bank of Hazao Bang.
who?
Zhou Yang turned out to be Commander Qian's adjutant and major.
However, when Zhang Yong saw him again, he was already a lieutenant colonel. And he was already a regiment leader.
The troops he leads are affiliated to the Shanghai Security Corps. They are actually the establishment of a brigade in the regular army.
Now that the war has officially begun, there is no need for the security team to pretend.
"What's going on at Wusongkou Pier?" Zhang Yong asked, "Where did Yuan Zheng and the others retreat to?"
"Yuan Zheng and the others have been killed." Zhou Yang replied regretfully, "The Japanese artillery fire covered the entire dock. Everyone inside the dock was killed."
"Uh..." Zhang Yong's heart sank. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the worst outcome.
"Luo Yiming, Liu Bo was also killed."
"Well……"
Zhang Yong was silent.
Knowing that there were heavy casualties in the Songhu Battle, I was mentally prepared.
However, when I learned that someone I knew had died silently in battle and disappeared forever, I still felt sad inside.
Luo Yiming is Zhou Yang's brother-in-law. He doesn't have much contact with him.
Liu Bo was the adjutant of Deputy Commander Yang. Unexpectedly, he was also killed. This shows how brutal the battle was.
Angry?
Of course. Sad. Angry.
But it's useless. The brutal war has just begun.
In the future, more people will die in battle, including Zhou Yang in front of him, or other people he knows.
"I'm going to the Corps Headquarters, please help me report."
"OK."
Zhou Yang went to send a report for instructions.
It needs to be reported step by step. It’s not that fast.
"Sit down!"
"good!"
Zhang Yong sat down.
At the same time, arrange delivery and replenish weapons and ammunition for Zhou Yang.
It just so happens that Hazaobang is a river and can be transported by speedboat.
Come directly to three ships full of ammunition, including bullets and cannonballs. I don’t care to say the quantity. Anyway, it’s enough.
But there are very few weapons. This is because the Chinese army does not lack light weapons. It actually has enough light machine guns and mortars. What it lacks is heavy firepower. It is direct-fire artillery.
In this battle, Chiang Kai-shek indeed used all his family resources. Most of them were elite members of his direct lineage.
Therefore, the current situation is unfavorable, so Chiang Kai-shek is so anxious.
He knew very well that if all direct descendants were eliminated, the situation in the future would be very bad. His status would even be unsafe.
Unfortunately, Zhang Yong himself did not have heavy weapons and was unable to do anything.
I hope that enough ammunition can make the Japanese invaders pay more and slow down their actions.
After reporting step by step, we finally received instructions from the Corps Headquarters.
Order Zhou Yang to take Zhang Yong there.
"Let's go."
"yes."
Continue southbound.
Just walking.
There is no transportation.
In the evening, we finally arrived at the regiment headquarters.
I found a lot of people gathered here. Many of them were senior military officers.
There are eight people with two golden three-pointed stars on their collar badges alone. In other words, eight lieutenant generals.
The one with three stars in the middle is Zhu Shaoliang.
Old battlefield.
Participated in the Wuchang Uprising.
Participated in the Northern Expedition and fought at Dingsi Bridge and Hesheng Bridge.
His qualifications are very old. But where he went after that, Zhang Yong doesn't know. Anyway, he is no longer on the battlefield.
"Commander-in-Chief."
"Commissioner Zhang."
Zhang Yong did not explain his purpose.
He believed that Zhu Shaoliang knew. Others may also know.
With so many people gathering here, there will probably be some trouble.
"please."
"please."
Enter the conference room.
The conference room is large.
Many officers came in one after another.
Two stars…
One star…
Two bars and three stars...
There were more than two hundred people.
Zhang Yong sat in the middle of the podium, his eyes gradually darkening.
Hongmen Banquet?
Of course not.
However, he felt the provocative eyes.
Obviously, many people present were not convinced about the execution of Chen Qingfu. It is estimated that some people are going to attack.
Everyone is here.
Zhu Shaoliang made two opening remarks.
The main purpose is to introduce Zhang Yong's identity and then ask Zhang Yong to convey the commission instructions.
Zhang Yong got straight to the point, "Bring Chen Qingfu here!"
"Okay." Zhu Shaoliang waved his hand.
Soon, guards escorted Chen Qingfu up.
Zhang Yong noticed that Chen Qingfu was still wearing a military uniform. There were also two stars on his collar badge.
His expression was obviously unconvinced. After he came in, he kept staring at Zhang Yong.
"Keep me informed."
"yes."
Someone handed over the documents.
The content of the document is Chen Qingfu’s dereliction of duty.
The 77th Division defended the town of Dachang. It was an important support point for the national army. The Japanese invaders repeatedly fought for it.
After successive hard battles, the 77th Division suffered heavy casualties and was exhausted.
The Japanese 101st Division repeatedly launched fierce attacks on Dachang Town. The 77th Division's front was in danger.
Worried that the entire army would be annihilated, Chen Qingfu ordered the retreat without consulting his superiors and abandoned Dachang Town.
The group army headquarters was shocked when informed of the information and hastily ordered the 77th Division not to retreat.
However, the Japanese invaders had already taken the opportunity to occupy Dachang Town. The group army quickly mobilized other troops to launch a counterattack.
However, the Japanese invaders who occupied Dachang Town were also quite stubborn and always held firm. Moreover, Japanese reinforcements continued to arrive.
Until now, the Japanese invaders still firmly control Dachang Town.
Confirmed.
It was indeed an escape.
One person abandons the defense, causing the overall situation to become passive.
Chiang Kai-shek was already very angry. How could he endure it after learning about this?
Immediately ordered the enforcement of military law and asked Zhang Yong to execute it personally.
The one who was killed was Chen Qingfu. The one who was warned was the entire Central Corps, including Zhu Shaoliang.
Why not let Zhu Shaoliang handle it himself?
It is to tell all officers that no matter who they are, they will be severely punished if they desert from battle.
Zhang Yong, the Inspector General of the Military and Political Commission, was specifically responsible for carrying out execution orders.
Commander, kill!
Commander, kill!
Group Army Commander, kill him!
Corps Commander, kill me!
"Untie him."
"this?"
"Untie."
"yes."
Zhu Shaoliang waved his hand.
The guards untied Chen Qingfu and then retreated.
"I don't accept your favor." Chen Qingfu held his head high, "You have no right to kill me!"
"It's not that I won't kill you. It's that I won't kill you now!" Zhang Yong said coldly, "I will personally lead the 77th Division to retake Dachang Town now, and then I will kill you."
"You? Take back Dachang Town?" Chen Qingfu was stunned. Everyone else was also stunned.
"Commissioner..." Zhu Shaoliang was confused.
"Commander-in-Chief, please order the entire 77th Division to assemble. I will personally lead the team to recapture Dachang Town."
"Commissioner..."
"Order the troops to assemble!"
"All right!"
Zhu Shaoliang had no choice but to agree and then pass on the order.
The others looked at each other, but stopped talking.
Zhang Yong strode outside.
The others hesitated for a moment and followed suit.
"No way? The commissioner goes into battle in person? Are you serious? Are you not afraid of death?"
"I told you a long time ago, don't underestimate Commissioner Zhang, he is not a good person! Killing Japanese invaders is like killing chickens!"
"That's right. He even captured a Japanese colonel alive and brought him back!"
"But……"
Suddenly he saw Zhang Yong holding a gun in his hand.
Some officers also subconsciously drew their guns. Their blood surged and they quickened their pace.
Other dignified inspectors dared to take the lead. Suddenly I felt so cowardly. I was actually worse than a young boy!
Zhu Shaoliang:......
No. Is Zhang Yong serious?
Dizzy. Is he really going to personally lead the team to retake Dachang Town?
In case of an accident...
However, Zhang Yong strode forward without looking back.
Arriving at the 77th Division station, I found that the 77th Division had already assembled. There were still about 4,500 people in the division.
This Chen Qingfu!
What a coward!
Others, Huang Wei, fought to the death with only 2,000 men, but refused to retreat.
You still have 4,500 men in the 77th Division! And you actually retreated? If Chiang Kai-shek doesn’t kill you, who will he kill? Anyone else will kill you!
"I'm here to take you back Dachang Town!"
"Dachang Town was lost by your 77th Division. It must be taken back by your 77th Division."
"You shameless person, step forward and follow me to the battlefield!"
"Those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, don't move where you are! Go back and cancel your military status, and go to the rear to dig trenches!"
Zhang Yong's words are concise and to the point.
There is no such thing as pre-war mobilization.
He didn't understand either. There was no political commissar to help.
Just plain talk.
If you follow me up and take back Dachang Town, you will still have light on your face.
If you don't dare or don't want to, then there's nothing to say. Just go to work as a coolie or dig trenches in the rear. From time to time, you will be laughed at.
What?
go home?
dream!
I, Zhang Yong, am not a Bodhisattva!
Everyone in your 77th Division is responsible for escaping from battle.
If you are all greedy for life and afraid of death, I will kill your division commander first, then the brigade commander, then the regiment commander...
In short, none of the officers can escape.
I, Zhang Yong, am not here to be a good person.
If the committee says kill him, then he will definitely kill him!
