The two warring parties fought against cattle in Luodian, Dachang and Zhabei. They fought hard every day.
The Japanese invader division numbers recorded in the system began to appear starting with 2, including the 21st, 25th, 26th and other divisions. This shows that the Japanese invaders are still expanding their troops.
In addition to the standing divisions of less than 20 people and the ad hoc divisions of 101-120 people, the Japanese invaders began to form special divisions of 21-30 people.
The Japanese invaders put more and more troops into the Songhu battlefield.
In North China, the Japanese invaders have occupied Datong and opened the door to Taiyuan.
The direct troops led by Tang Enbo have withdrawn from the battlefield, leaving the battlefield completely to the Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army.
Yan Laoxi refused to let Huangpu's direct descendants enter the scope of Jin Province, shouting "Jin people guard Jin soil".
Chiang Kai-shek also had no time to take care of him, so he ordered his direct relatives to withdraw.
This is roughly the situation.
Zhang Yong didn't know the specific details.
Public information channels in this era are very lacking.
Even at Zhang Yong's level, it is impossible to know all the information. A lot of it has been missed.
Some are required for confidentiality.
For example, the fall of Datong was not mentioned in any newspapers.
It's not that I don't want to mention it, but I don't dare to mention it. The government doesn't allow it for fear of causing panic among the people.
News about the Songhu battlefield is actually rarely reported.
What is published in newspapers is all news of victory. All kinds of great victories.
Thousands of Japanese invaders can be eliminated every day.
If all the battle reports were tallied up, the number of Japanese invaders that were wiped out would be able to form at least one hundred divisions.
Therefore, ordinary people who do not know the truth are very optimistic about the war.
Especially those people from the mainland.
The common people mentioned here are not those at the bottom who are illiterate.
Rather, they are people who have a certain level of education, have a certain economic foundation, and are able to read newspapers and telegraphs.
Those at the bottom who are illiterate, sorry, are not qualified to call themselves common people.
In the subconscious mind of the government, they are not considered human beings.
Although it hurts, the cruel reality is like this.
The slogan is 40 million. In fact, only 50 million at most are considered "people" that the government needs to consider.
The other 350 million people will not react no matter what the government does. They are also unable to resist. Therefore, there is no need to consider their feelings at all.
"Commissioner, MacFarlane is here."
Yang Zhi's words brought Zhang Yong back to reality.
Shake your head slowly. You need to get used to it.
I'm used to fighting on the battlefield, but I'm a little unaccustomed to the luxurious life.
Pick up the coffee, taste it briefly and then stop.
It's bitter but very refreshing. The brain needs stimulation.
well……
Now, Zhang Yong lives in the Madier Hotel.
Prepare for a secret deal with the Japanese invaders.
The main thing is to let people go.
Release the two Japanese colonels.
The high command knew about this.
The so-called high command is actually Chiang Kai-shek himself.
Let him go.
Zhang Yong thought of the conditions himself.
All income earned goes to the Central Reserve Bank.
Zhang Yong judged that there was probably someone involved with the wife. Maybe there was an ocean telegraph communication?
"open!"
MacFarlane comes in.
He seems to be very enthusiastic, but he is actually pretending.
Ever since the Songhu battlefield started, Zhang Yong understood the opponent's face. It was all just for show.
When you really need help, don't give up a dime.
It's just words but no real actions. There are no real actions at all.
My wife is currently in Washington, seeking mediation from the beautiful country, but has never received a clear answer.
I wonder what Roosevelt's reaction was? His wife provided a private support of US$100,000.
It was Zhang Yong who paid for it first. His wife later provided it to Song Ziyu in the form of a dowry. Don't accept the money first, or forget it later.
"Please take a seat."
Zhang Yong looked calm.
The country is weak and is being bullied!
I don’t have the ability to be self-sufficient, so I am really at the mercy of others.
well……
"Zhang, I have something to ask you."
"explain."
"The Japanese seized some Thompson submachine guns and Garand semi-automatic rifles on the battlefield. How did you obtain these weapons?"
"I bought it!"
"purchase?"
"Of course. I spent a lot of money. Five times higher than the market price!"
"What channel?"
"This is a secret. How could I possibly tell you?"
Zhang Yong sneered unabashedly.
Don't ask.
Just ask and buy it.
It is five times higher than the market price.
People die for wealth and birds die for food.
Five times the price is enough for arms dealers to go crazy.
What kind of restrictions on exports! It doesn’t exist. The premise is that it is really five times the price!
The arms dealers themselves will find ways to deliver the goods!
"Zhang, I am very eager to know the truth. You must help me."
"The truth is thank you for the government's assistance."
"Zhang, don't be joking."
"I am serious. What the Japanese judge is the truth."
"open……"
MacFarlane was speechless.
The Japanese are also very anxious about this matter.
They are also so suspicious. They think that the beautiful country is behind the aid.
Thomson and Garand are all weapons of the beautiful country. Zhang Yong actually has so many in his hands, they can't help but be suspicious.
For this reason, the Japanese have made a vague protest. They hope that the beautiful country will stop aid immediately.
However, MacFarlane was clear that there would be absolutely no help. At least, absolutely no official help.
"You seem to be here as a witness."
"yes."
MacFarlane was silent.
Not long after, Yang Zhi came in again.
Representatives sent by the Japanese invaders have arrived.
stranger.
Not a red dot. Not Japanese. But pretending to be Japanese.
"money."
Zhang Yong stretched out his hand directly.
Don't talk nonsense to me. Give it to me and I'll let him go.
An ocean of 800,000 yuan or equivalent currency.
"Give."
The other party was quite happy.
Handed a heavy suitcase to Zhang Yong.
Inside the suitcase were all banknotes. Some were from Citibank and some were from HSBC.
"good!"
Zhang Yong closed the suitcase.
1.6 million oceans, selling two Japanese colonels. It's a bit of a loss.
However, Chiang Kai-shek himself did not dare to kill him. If Zhang Yong killed him behind his back, it would be even worse. He might as well put it back. Anyway, it would be harmless.
For these two Japanese colonels who were sent back, it is impossible for the Japanese military leaders to reuse them again. They will only be put into reserve service. From then on, they will sit on the bench. They may be imprisoned in disguise. They are prohibited from contact with the outside world to avoid being "seduced by evil words".
"people" and even forced them to commit suicide by committing seppuku.
Putting the prisoners back is actually a conspiracy.
You can't refuse.
Otherwise, others will be disappointed.
Who will be willing to sacrifice their lives for you in the future? Loyalty has plummeted.
However, when I took him back, I was worried that the other party would talk nonsense, shake the morale of the army, and cause greater harm.
The transaction is completed.
The Japanese representative left quickly.
The troops will naturally make arrangements for releasing people.
"Here comes someone."
Zhang Yong shouted outside.
Lin Wan came in with Liu Yue and Zhou Yun and took away the suitcases.
According to the above arrangement, all banknotes will go to the Central Reserve Bank. Zhang Yong did not take any money.
Of course, Lin Wan would definitely make arrangements for him later.
"open……"
MacFarlane leaned forward.
Zhang Yong was too lazy to pay attention to him.
If you have something to say, say it.
If you fart, let it go.
Don't be too close.
I'm not familiar with you now.
Unless you take some practical action immediately.
"Zhang, do you need a plane?"
"What?"
"I'll send you a plane for free."
"Why?"
Zhang Yong looked at the other party with doubts.
What is this MacFarlane doing? Want to give yourself a plane?
joke……
What do I need a plane for?
wrong.
I really need a plane.
I need a plane to fly into the sky and then attack the Japanese warships.
Or a night attack on the Japanese airport...
Night is my home field, Zhang Yong!
Including the sky!
"Zhang, you don't need to ask why. You just need to know that I will really send you a plane."
"Okay, where."
Zhang Yong switched to the empty finger section and found nothing.
There are airplane signs inside the one-hour flight circle, but there are none nearby.
Switch to the world map. It is found that there is an aircraft carrier sign 3200 kilometers away. Check it out and it is the Yorktown.
The distance is very far.
Did it take off from the Yorktown?
The question is, where will we land after taking off? Longhua Airport has been destroyed.
Although the Japanese invaders have not yet completely occupied it, it is impossible for Longhua Airport to be put into use unless it is an emergency landing behind the Songhu battlefield.
The problem is, after the emergency landing, there is no way to take off again! There is no runway.
What's more, if the plane makes an emergency landing, it will most likely cause damage. Whether it can take off again is still unknown.
"It's a seaplane."
"What?"
"United Aircraft Corporation's PBY seaplane. Brand new. Just put into production."
"Yeah?"
Zhang Yong believed it.
Because the other party mentioned the details.
seaplane.
United Aircraft Manufacturing Company.
PBY…
However, Zhang Yong had no impression at all.
In my previous life, I didn't know about this type of aircraft. I never paid much attention to it.
Seaplane seems to be a less popular category?
Fortunately, the system quickly provides relevant data.
Maximum speed: 314 kilometers per hour
Practical ceiling: 4000 meters
Maximum range: 4000 kilometers
It has an empty weight of 9 tons and a maximum take-off weight of 16 tons. It can generally load 1,500 kilograms of bombs.
Of course, if the distance is very close, overloading is also possible. Loading three tons of bombs is no problem. But the combat radius is only four to five hundred kilometers.
This combat radius can include the Japanese aircraft carriers, but cannot reach Songshan Airport.
If you want to bomb Songshan Airport, you can load up to two tons of bombs.
"Seaplane?"
"Yes. No airport is required. You can land directly on the water or take off from the water."
"ah……"
Zhang Yong's mind suddenly became active.
It seems that the Americans were also thoughtful. They knew there was no airport, so they chose seaplane.
Whether taking off or landing, everything is done directly on the water.
The range and load capacity are comparable to those of bombers.
"Give it to me?"
"Yes."
"No other conditions?"
"No."
"good!"
Zhang Yong nodded.
I feel like things are definitely not that simple.
There must be something fishy behind it.
However, since the other party said so, he believed it.
Drink poison to quench your thirst. Drink it before talking.
In fact, if the plane really comes, he can really go out at night to deal with the Japanese invaders' warships or the Japanese invaders' airports.
Land on the beach during the day and find a secluded place to hide. Japanese aircraft may not be able to detect you.
The fact that there is no need for an airport is simply wonderful.
As for aerial bombs and the like, Zhang Yong himself has 500 kilograms of them.
By the way, can a 1,500 kilogram aerial bomb be mounted at one time to sink a Japanese destroyer? Those are just old antiques.
By the way, it can also be hung on a torpedo. The lethality of large torpedoes is much greater than that of aerial bombs.
It is difficult for an aerial bomb to sink a warship. But a torpedo is likely to sink a ship.
But can it carry torpedoes?
Check the data carefully.
I realized that I was overthinking it.
Others are seaplanes! It is a patent of the Navy.
The Army Aviation does not need seaplanes. Only the Navy does. It can definitely carry torpedoes!
For naval aircraft, torpedo attack is indispensable.
Besides aerial bombs, torpedoes also have to play the leading role.
Especially when attacking large battleships, without torpedoes, we can only stare blankly.
The destructive power of dozens of aerial bombs to a warship is not as serious as that of two or three torpedoes. Three to five torpedoes can send away a battleship.
"when……"
I couldn't wait to wait. Suddenly I shut up again.
But it automatically switches to the aerial map. An airplane sign appears in the southeast direction.
Check.
I discovered it was a PBY seaplane.
Oh, I understand. It turns out it did take off from the aircraft carrier Yorktown.
The Yorktown aircraft carrier is more than 3,200 kilometers away from here, so the Japanese aircraft carrier will certainly not find it. The Japanese aircraft carriers in this era did not have radar.
The PBY seaplane flew close to the water, and the Japanese reconnaissance planes probably couldn't detect it.
It is estimated that the Japanese reconnaissance planes will not pay too much attention to the east. Over there is the vast Pacific Ocean!
"Where to stop?" Zhang Yong changed his question.
"We found a place. The location is relatively hidden." McFarland replied.
"What do you need me to do?"
"Take over that area. Then send people to rest on the shore."
"good."
Zhang Yong nodded.
It is estimated that McFarland already has a complete plan.
The plane is given to you Zhang Yong. You fly it yourself and choose your partners. But our beautiful country does not come forward.
If you were asked where the airplane came from, the answer would be that it was bought.
Five times the market price…
"Let's go!"
"good!"
Zhang Yong was ready to make a move.
Hurry and McFarland arrive at the target location.
This is a corner of the seaside. It is not in the concession. It is on the seaside in the south.
Most of the shore is tidal flats. Only here are rocks. Very steep rocks. There are many large and small corners in the middle of the rocks.
The seaplane can be hidden inside, and then it can be camouflaged on top. Basically, it can be covered up.
The key to the matter is that you can only move at night. You must not move during the day.
Once dispatched during the day, they will be tracked by Japanese aircraft. Then they will be discovered. Then destroyed. Then they will give up.
"Do you know about my bombing of Japanese warships?" Zhang Yong realized later.
"Not long ago," McFarland replied vaguely.
Zhang Yong did not ask in detail.
It no longer matters.
Now, the most important thing is to take over the aircraft.
Pay close attention to the empty finger map.
Keep staring at the PBY seaplane.
until it lands safely.
OK, the plane is here.
In perfect condition.
Crew of three.
Zhang Yong took out a wad of U.S. dollars, five hundred for each person.
readily.
Generous.
worth.
With this seaplane in hand, it was Zhang Yong's turn to start performing.
