The angry wind lantern gave off a pale and pale light.
It looks particularly weird in the dark and has a bit of an eerie atmosphere.
In fact, many people feel that this kind of light has some kind of "underworld" meaning. But no one dares to say anything or even reveal it.
Because this is the commission's personal instruction.
All the lights in the Presidential Palace must be turned off and replaced with wind lamps.
Is it because of energy saving?
Or was it to prevent Japanese air raids?
No one knows.
It's like not many people know where the committee is.
Ever since the Japanese invaders began their air raids on Jinling, the whereabouts of the committee members have been top secret. Only a few people know about it.
Many times, Boss Dai from the Fuxing Society's Secret Service didn't know where the committee was.
Except for Director Lin of the Attendance Room, everyone else was informed at irregular times and at irregular times.
As for Director Lin, he has been staying at the Presidential Palace and never leaves.
It was not yet midnight, but Director Lin was in good spirits. But he was taciturn and had a solemn look on his face.
The recent war situation has been unfavorable, and the commissioner's temper is also very irritable and moody.
As the director of the attendant's office, life is very difficult. I am often reprimanded.
The delegate scolds people in person.
Swearing on the phone.
Swearing in telegrams.
It seems that except for the madam, everyone else has been scolded by him.
In particular, several commanders on the Songhu front line were scolded even more. Niang Xipi and others came out.
The commissioner wanted to go to the Songhu battlefield in person and take command personally. But he was dissuaded.
Reports from the front line say it is not safe to go.
But the committee still insists on going in person. I feel that if I personally direct it, I may be able to turn the tide.
Everyone else is useless. Where is his wisdom and strength?
He is the principal of Whampoa Military Academy! How could those commanders be as smart as the principal?
"Ring ring ring..."
"Ring ring ring..."
Suddenly the phone rang.
Director Lin picked up the phone and listened silently.
"That's it!"
Then he hung up the phone again.
Put down the phone, close your eyes and relax, and rub your temples.
The war situation on the front line was unfavorable, and the committee member was sick and rushed to seek medical treatment. All kinds of wild ideas came to mind.
Want to do this for a while.
I want to do that for a while.
As the head of the attendant's office, he is really exhausted both mentally and physically.
Sometimes, knowing that the committee member is acting on a whim, he or she will mumble something casually, but it cannot be taken seriously.
However, if at some point, the committee member turns around and thinks of it again and asks about it, then it will be over.
Therefore, even though we knew it was a mirror image, we still had to make arrangements.
For example, let's talk to Akiyama Shigekui.
In fact, if you just say that, you may forget it later.
However, Director Lin had to send Liu Zhenzhen and Yang Lichu to Suzhou to find Zhang Yong and arrange the matter.
What if we turn around and take this matter seriously again?
well……
I dare not say anything yet.
Because I am worried that the committee will turn around and refuse to admit their mistakes.
Well, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen sent people to secretly negotiate peace with Jianlu.
But somehow, the matter was exposed, and Chongzhen refused to admit his guilt again. He pushed Chen Xinjia out as the scapegoat.
Director Lin doesn't want to die unjustly like Chen Xinjia.
The sound of footsteps came.
"Report!"
"Come in!"
"Director, this is good news from the front line."
"Good news?"
Director Lin was indifferent.
There are good news coming from the front line all the time. There is everything.
All kinds of extravagance and rhetoric.
However, Director Lin is not a fool. He can see the problem at a glance.
The so-called good news is all bragging.
Battle reports can deceive people, but battle lines do not deceive people.
The current situation is that the national army has lost troops and ground one after another, and the situation is getting worse and worse.
That is to say, Luodian, which Zhang Yong is responsible for guarding, can still give people a sense of security. Other places feel that they are in danger.
The most dangerous part is the central battlefield.
The town of Dachang fell, and the Japanese invaders marched straight in. As a result, the national army was very passive.
The high command ordered Zhu Shaoliang to recapture Dachang Town at all costs. But until now, the national army has not yet captured it.
The committee members are very dissatisfied with Zhu Shaoliang and may want to remove him from his post...
"It's from the Right Wing Corps."
"What content?"
"The telegram said that Commissioner Zhang Yong commanded the 145th Division and the 184th Division to eliminate..."
"etc!"
Director Lin heard a familiar name.
Zhang Yong?
Why did he end up in the right wing regiment?
Isn't he in Luodian?
This guy.
Apart from that Zhang Yong, there is no other Zhang Yong.
There is only one Zhang Yong who can command division-level troops. He is the only one. There are no other branches. There are no fake ones.
"Is it Commissioner Zhang Shaolong?"
"Yes."
"He's in the right wing regiment?"
"That's what the telegram said. He commanded the 145th Division and the 184th Division, and wiped out a Japanese brigade. He killed the brigade leader Murakami Shotaro."
"Oh? Is there such a thing?"
Director Lin's tense expression finally softened.
This is real good news. It is not fake. Because Zhang Yong has gone.
The leader of the Japanese brigade who was killed also had a name. Once checked, he could find out. There was no way he could fake it.
Other people's success reports are all about killing Japanese invaders. The number is very large, but there are no details, because describing the details would be misleading.
Capture two Japanese colonels...
Killed a Japanese major general...
very good!
Promising!
It's a pity that the power is too small...
After all, he is too young and has little qualifications. It is difficult to be promoted formally.
At the moment, the only thing that can be done is to use the title of Inspector to intervene in the battle as much as possible on the front line.
It is impossible to have a legitimate military position because there are too many people who oppose it.
He Yingqin objected and Chen Cheng objected. It was destined that Zhang Yong would not have a formal military position.
Now, even on the National Air Force side, Zhang Yong has stepped aside due to the unanimous opinions of foreign instructors.
The opinions of foreigners are very important. After all, we need their help.
well……
In the final analysis, he is still too young.
As long as there is a person who is thirty years old, I am afraid no one can stop him.
I am twenty years old, still young, do not have a perfect academic degree, and have never studied abroad. I am really unable to operate...
"in addition……"
"What?"
"Commissioner Zhang also sent a clear telegram."
"Clear code?"
"Yes."
"show me."
"yes."
The staff officer sent a telegram.
Director Lin took it, read it, and nodded.
That's right. It's Zhang Yong.
There is no one else but him.
The boyish character is out-of-the-box, a bit subversive and a bit crazy.
No. It's very crazy.
This is a challenge to name Matsui Iwane!
Good. Very good. Young people must be energetic! If you don’t accept it, do it!
This little guy did this before. He sent a lot of clear telegrams and provoked everywhere. But no one could do anything to him.
I really want to see Iwane Matsui's reaction after receiving the telegram. I wonder if he will be furious.
Of course, it is possible that Matsui Iwane would never see the telegram.
His subordinates may not even dare to tell him about this. Otherwise, they will definitely get slapped in the face.
By the way, Japanese people really like to slap people.
The superiors slapped me at every turn.
Being a subordinate is extremely frustrating. You have to stand at attention and bend down to thank your boss for a good job.
Psychologically twisted Japanese. Perverted little devil.
My mind suddenly moved.
Since Zhang Yong wants to provoke Iwane Matsui, then he should help him.
Make a big fuss.
Let the whole world know.
"Order the main station to forward this clear telegram."
"Where to forward?"
"Repost all commonly used channels."
"yes."
The staff officer agreed and went.
Director Lin suddenly smiled and felt the vitality of the young people.
The headquarters' radio station is very powerful. The radio signals it sends out can be easily transmitted to Washington.
Where is Washington? On the east coast of the beautiful country. The distance from Jinling is more than 12,000 kilometers.
This distance basically covers every corner of the earth.
In other words, it is a clear telegram forwarded by the main station, which can be received by the whole world. The whole world will know the name Zhang Yong.
Of course, you will also know the names Matsui Iwane and Murakami Shotaro.
Let’s wait and see what happens next.
There is no need to report to the committee.
The committee is not in the presidential palace.
But it doesn't matter. Someone has probably reported it to the committee. He must already know.
Next, wait and see.
How would Matsui Iwane respond?
…
French Concession.
Inside an ordinary little house.
A female telegraph operator was concentrating on receiving the telegram.
Next to him, a serious-looking man sat. After the operator finished transcribing, he immediately took the telegram over.
"Is it a clear telegram?"
"Yes."
"This Zhang Yong started inventing codes again."
The man is thoughtful.
I guess this is Zhang Yong's special hobby.
In other words, Zhang Yong was young and frivolous. He was not afraid of the consequences of the clear telegram.
If he sends this clear telegram, Matsui Iwane must not kill him! This is a clear provocation to Matsui Iwane and the Empire of Japan!
But, so what?
Did Zhang Yong kill too many Japanese invaders?
Aren't you living well now?
so……
Are the Japanese invaders incompetent or Zhang Yong too powerful?
…
French Consulate…
"Report. Clear telegram received."
…
German Consulate…
"Sir, a clear telegram has been received."
…
Consulate of the beautiful country...
British Consulate...
…
A major newspaper.
Commercial radio stations also received clear telegrams.
Report editor.
After the editor read it, his expression changed.
"quick!"
“Arrange headlines immediately!”
"Publish this telegram! Use the entire first page!"
"Yes! Full page! Full page!"
…
Tokyo.
Japanese invaders base camp.
"Baga!"
"This damn Zhang Yong!"
"Order Matsui Iwane to kill him!"
"Baga!"
"This Zhang Yong must be killed!"
…
Beautiful country. Washington.
"Madam, there is news about Zhang Yong."
"Oh? Show me."
…
Outside the concession, on the Huangpu River.
Many warships from world powers are docked, all equipped with high-power radios.
"Zhang Yong?"
"Matsui Iwane?"
The clear telegram was immediately copied and then forwarded.
This is the first-hand information they have. Judging from the contents of the telegram, it seems that the Chinese have not yet been defeated.
It seems that a young general was born among the Chinese people?
…
"Ah sneeze!"
"Ah sneeze!"
Zhang Yong started sneezing again.
It's terrible...
I really want to cut off my nose.
Or when should I quietly go see an old Chinese medicine doctor?
By the way, cure shortness and weakness...
Pooh!
Pooh!
Where did you think you went?
I'm still young! Go see that, it's so embarrassing!
"Commissioner!"
"Commissioner!"
Rao Guohua is here.
His face was also full of excitement.
This battle also had a share in the Sichuan army.
Unlike the Yunnan Army, the Sichuan Army desperately needed victory to prove itself.
"Sir Rao."
"Commissioner, I have something to report to you."
"explain."
"We captured five Japanese invaders alive."
"Japanese invaders? Are they alive?"
"Commissioner, how do you deal with the Japanese invaders?"
"I'll go take a look."
Zhang Yong was a little confused. He didn’t find the red dot!
There are no red dots within a radius of five kilometers.
Why did the Sichuan Army still capture people alive?
"plz follow me."
"good."
Zhang Yong set off with Rao Guohua.
After walking a few hundred meters, we saw the prisoners.
He was indeed a prisoner. He was also wearing Japanese invaders' military uniforms and weapons.
However, the map shows no red dots.
In other words, the prisoners in front of us are not Japanese invaders.
"look……"
"Let me ask."
Zhang Yong bent down and looked at several prisoners.
The appearance is indeed no different from the Japanese invaders. But the eyes are wrong.
They are not as fanatical as the Japanese invaders, nor are they as stubborn. If they were Japanese invaders, it would be impossible for them to surrender.
"Are you from the Silla Peninsula?" Zhang Yong asked in dialect.
"Yes." one of the prisoners answered.
Zhang Yong:……
Sure enough, it's a stick.
They are not pure Japanese invaders. They are sticks.
I don’t know where this independent mixed brigade of the Japanese invaders was organized.
There were actually sticks in the team. Maybe there were a lot of them. But all the others were killed. Zhang Yong didn't even think about taking prisoners.
Those tough guys of the Yunnan Army never thought of taking prisoners. The brigade leader was killed. Not to mention the others?
If the Sichuan army hadn't captured several prisoners, Zhang Yong wouldn't have known about it.
"They are not Japanese invaders. They are sticks."
Zhang Yong’s simple explanation.
Rao Guohua was immediately disappointed and was about to raise his gun.
Since they are not Japanese invaders, then they will all be destroyed.
If you are not a Japanese invader, you are not worthy of being a prisoner. It will be of no use if you are captured. You still have to take care of your food when you go back.
Zhang Yong pretended not to see it, but actually he acquiesced.
It's all taken care of.
Eating requires money.
"Da da da..."
"Da da da..."
Gunshot.
All five prisoners died.
They are not Japanese invaders. They are invaders all the same. They must pay the price.
If he, Zhang Yong, was in power for a day, he would never give the Japanese invaders a chance. On the battlefield, he would not take any prisoners. He would kill them all.
Unless you really repent and are willing to spend the rest of your life to atone for your sins.
Otherwise, they will all be sent to hell to repent.
Look at your watch.
It's only early in the morning. The second half of the night has just arrived.
It seems that there is still time to do something big, but there is no target for now.
There are no red dots nearby…
Huh?
etc!
Suddenly, a red dot entered the edge of the map.
They came from the east. A few scattered ones. They were sneaky. They seemed to be the scouts of the Japanese invaders?
"There are enemies!"
"East!"
Send an alert immediately.
Everyone immediately entered combat mode.
Orders are issued layer by layer.
Surround it to the east.
Zhang Yong also quietly approached to the east.
More and more red dots entered the map. Dozens of people, hundreds of people, thousands of people. Finally, there were more than 2,000 people.
It was judged that the Japanese invaders had two full brigades or three incomplete brigades.
How many people were under the jurisdiction of an independent mixed brigade of the Japanese invaders? It is unclear. But there should be six to seven thousand people.
In other words, three thousand people were wiped out before, and there may be more than two thousand left.
Including the losses from previous battles, the total strength may be 7,000.
It should be like this. Pretty much the same.
The Japanese invaders moved very carefully, with many elite soldiers surrounding them.
Obviously, they were worried that they would be ambushed.
However, they were still ambushed and surrounded by two divisions.
Or, strictly speaking, it was outflanked.
According to the guidance of the map, Zhang Yong ordered the 145th Division to cover from the north and the 184th Division to cover from the south.
He, Zhang Yong, led a commando team and directly confronted the Japanese invaders.
"Da da da..."
"Bang bang bang..."
The battle ensued.
All kinds of firepower breaks out.
Realizing that something was wrong, the Japanese invaders immediately reduced their troops and gathered together.
This is their usual tactic. When they find the situation is dangerous, they immediately stand firm and wait for reinforcements. They wait for other Japanese invaders to come for reinforcements or call for sea and air firepower.
Zhang Yong looked at his watch. Fortunately, it was only two o'clock in the morning. There was plenty of time.
In the darkness, it was impossible for Japanese aircraft to dispatch, and Japanese warships were unable to provide support.
Therefore, the dark night on the Songhu battlefield was Zhang Yong's home field.
Stand back and watch silently.
There were more than two thousand Japanese invaders, surrounded by two divisions.
The result is completely unsuspicious.
Total annihilation is only a matter of time.
Suddenly I sighed...
Alas, it would be great if things were so easy in Luodian.
After all, this is not the main battlefield! The Japanese invaders may just let it go. They only need to occupy Luodian to completely win.
Then another detachment of Japanese invaders landed from Jinshanwei, marched from north to south, and blocked the Songhu battlefield. The Chinese army had no other choice but to retreat.
I'm irritable again.
Thinking of landing in Hangzhou Bay.
There is absolutely no way.
There are no extra troops at all...
Huh?
No. I have three divisions in my hands.
If the Japanese invaders abandon the south of the Huangpu River, they can also transfer their troops!
Move your troops to the vicinity of Jinshan Guard and wait for the Japanese invaders to come ashore. Then attack them head-on. Don't stick to the beachhead. Otherwise, they will be blown to pieces by naval guns.
The mind is active.
Ready to move.
Perhaps, this is the legendary situation where there is no way out despite the mountains and rivers, and there is another village where there is a bright future and a bright future?
As long as you eliminate the enemy that is restraining you, you can free your hands.
Very simple truth.
But in a complicated battlefield, it is difficult to understand immediately.
so……
Keep fighting!
Hit hard!
Completely wipe out the Japanese invaders!
Free your hands!
but!
etc!
First post to a circle of friends...
No, I need to send a clear telegram first.
"Someone is coming!"
"arrive!"
"Invention code telegram. Content: Matsui Iwane, I have surrounded more than two thousand of you again, and I will destroy you soon. Come to me quickly! Haha!"
"Commissioner, do you need a signature?"
"No need. Everyone knows it's me."
"yes."
The staff officer agreed and went.
Then send it out word for word.
Then, the Jinling Presidential Palace and the main station received and forwarded it.
Then……
There is no more.
Any organization or individual with a radio station can receive it.
"Baga!"
"Zhang Yong, I'm not done with you!"
A roar came from the darkness. It seemed as if it was going to shatter the earth.
Even the warships of various countries on the Huangpu River trembled.
