Some soldiers picked up the wreckage of the plane and ran up excitedly.
At this moment, they were walking as fast as flying. They didn't feel tired at all.
Of the six planes that were hit, the wreckage of one landed on the river, and the other five all landed inside and outside the fortress.
After the three remaining Japanese aircraft were evacuated, the soldiers' greatest pleasure was to search everywhere for the wreckage of the Japanese aircraft.
This is a souvenir.
Very rare.
You know, this is a Japanese aircraft that was shot down!
What a rare opportunity it was to encounter a downed Japanese aircraft. Not to mention there were six of them!
Six!
Six in total!
This number alone is exciting.
"Tuoba Spring!"
Zhang Yong suddenly shouted loudly.
The other party is an acquaintance. He is from the Air Force Liaison Office in the fortress.
According to his duties, when the fortress is attacked by enemy air raids, he should report the situation to the national air force as soon as possible.
Then the National Air Force decided whether to dispatch aircraft for support.
But now...
Definitely no need.
Because Jinling University Airport was abandoned.
All remaining aircraft were evacuated to Hankou, Changsha, Luoyang and other places. They ran far away.
The army is not allowed to retreat, but the air force is allowed to run very fast.
Lao Jiang didn't know what the operation was.
"arrive!"
Tuoba Quan ran over in a hurry.
His face was very nervous and his heart was uneasy. He didn't know what Zhang Yong would ask.
The national air force has withdrawn. Naturally, the liaison office has nothing to do. It is just for decoration.
"Please retreat tonight!"
"retreat?"
"Yes. Everyone in your Air Force Liaison Office will retreat at night."
"But……"
"This is my order! Just follow it!"
"yes!"
Tuoba Quan agreed.
I hesitate to speak. I don't know what to say.
Logically speaking, he should be happy that he can retreat. But why...
Feel like you might as well stay in the fortress?
There is a sense of shame...
"chief of staff!"
"arrive!"
Du Songyue comes up.
Everyone around immediately fell silent.
"Send away all irrelevant personnel. Leave professional combatants behind."
"They can also pick up guns and fight..."
"It's not necessary anymore."
Zhang Yong shook his head. It was impossible to hold on.
The Japanese invaders were powerful and cunning. He believed that the Japanese invaders would soon be able to think of a solution.
Although he didn't know what the solution was, the Japanese invaders would definitely be able to think of it.
It is impossible for Zhang Yong to defeat so many Japanese invaders by himself. He is not a god. There will always be times when he loses sight of one thing.
There is always some kind of worry...
"Except for the original fortress garrison, everyone else was sent away."
"If anyone wants to stay..."
"Send away."
Zhang Yong's attitude was very firm.
Faintly, he felt that the fortress would fall tragically.
The Japanese battleships and a large number of aircraft carriers will launch attacks on the fortress in turn. There is no possibility of creating a miracle.
The overall strength is very different.
The system does not have heavy weapons yet.
Can't beat it.
Rather than all die here, it's better to preserve some of your vitality.
There is still a long battle ahead!
If the land is saved and people are lost, both people and land will be lost.
If people survive and lose their land, both people and land will survive.
This is the strategy of a great man. In fact, he can also copy it.
After killing a certain number of Japanese invaders and achieving the strategic goal, you must retreat decisively.
"Commissioner, you are worried..."
"There's nothing to worry about."
"No, you are worried that the Japanese invaders will bomb Jinling on a large scale, and then you will be assigned to defend Jinling and be forced to abandon the fortress, right?"
"I……"
Zhang Yong was silent.
Suddenly I understood what I was worried about.
Du Songyue gave the answer.
Yes, that's it.
The Japanese invaders will definitely think of this method.
They will bombard Jinling like crazy, forcing Zhang Yong to go to Jinling.
Jinling is the capital of the country and is more important than Jiangyin Fortress.
There are two million people in Jinling.
Under pressure from all sides, Chiang Kai-shek would definitely order Zhang Yong to go to Jinling.
Even if it was known that Zhang Yong had left Jiangyin Fortress, the fortress might fall.
The Japanese invaders' conspiracy has no solution.
Once Zhang Yong leaves Jiangyin Fortress, the Japanese invaders will launch a crazy attack here and finally capture it.
At the same time, the Japanese invaders will continue to launch air raids on Jinling to pin down Zhang Yong and prevent him from leaving. In the end, they can only watch the Jiangyin Fortress fall.
If Jiangyin Fortress falls, the Japanese invaders will concentrate all their forces and storm Jinling.
There is no danger in Jinling.
In the end, it was unstoppable.
In the end, you can only give up voluntarily.
well……
It’s hard to support alone!
Zhang Yong is the only one who has no skills at all times.
War is not a stage for one person. It is not an individual hero. It is a group battle.
Facts have proved that the overall combat strength of the Fruit Party is really average.
It is certain that if Zhang Yong leaves Jiangyin Fortress, he will definitely not be able to defend it.
Even if Du Songyue died generously, it would not help.
"Commissioner, go ahead!"
"well……"
"I am responsible for guarding the fortress until the last person is left."
"..."
Zhang Yong was silent.
I don't know what to say.
The joy of shooting down the plane was gone.
In fact, he had no joy at all.
A small tactical victory cannot make up for the huge strategic gap.
Before the Battle of Wuhan, the comprehensive strength of the Japanese invaders was indeed too strong.
The huge power accumulated by the Japanese invaders has not yet been released.
China is unable to resist.
Quiet.
Only the river breeze blows.
a long time.
"Wait for the arrangements from the headquarters!"
Zhang Yong finally said.
There is no need to comfort you. No need to comfort you.
A real man is shrouded in horse leather. Sooner or later there will be a day like this. Loyal bones are buried everywhere in the mountains...
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
Suddenly there was a gunshot.
Zhang Yong turned his head and found nothing unusual.
There was no commotion.
Maybe the sentry fired?
"Someone is coming!"
"arrive!"
"Go and find out what's going on."
"yes."
Du Songyue arranged for someone to find out.
It turned out to be a false alarm.
They were left-behind personnel from the national navy, and they tried to come over to watch the excitement. They were stopped by the fortress sentry with a shot.
As for why the sentry fired...
One of the sentries answered honestly, saying that he looked down on the navy.
He sank all his ships. There were no results. He had no right to come and watch the fun.
The Japanese planes were all shot down by people from our fortress. What does it have to do with your navy? Go back to your side immediately, don’t come here...
Our fortress is here to kill the Japanese invaders. If your navy doesn't kill the Japanese invaders, go away!
"asshole!"
Du Songyue cursed in a low voice.
But it was just a show. There was no punishment at all.
In fact, Du Songyue also despised the fact that the national navy ended up like this. There are also some people who look down on the navy.
Zhang Yong:……
Sure enough, disputes on land and sea exist in every country.
The same is true for the battle between land and air, and the battle between sea and air.
It's just in different degrees.
The performance of the national navy is indeed very poor.
It's normal to be looked down upon by others.
but……
Is this their responsibility?
It seems unfair to them. They are also very aggrieved...
The original plan was to sink the ships, block the waterway, and block all the Japanese ships in the Yangtze River.
As a result, the news leaked out and the Japanese ships escaped early.
In the end, he died in vain.
Think about it.
In the end, you have to clean up this mess yourself.
After all, the command from the headquarters was to command all the troops around Jiangyin Fortress.
Among them were the remnants of the national navy.
A navy with only men and no ships.
"Someone is coming!"
"arrive!"
"Send my order to have the navy personnel stay where they are and wait for further arrangements."
"yes."
"I will find time to meet with Commander Chen of the Navy."
"yes."
The communications officer agreed.
He turned to leave, but was stopped by Du Songyue.
Zhang Yong:???
What's going on?
Du Songyue whispered: "Commander Chen is not here."
"Not there? Where have you gone?" Zhang Yong vaguely thought of something, but his thoughts were not very clear at the moment.
"Going to Hankou."
"Yeah?"
Zhang Yong gradually understood.
It must be Chiang Kai-shek's arrangement. He transferred the general and let Zhang Yong give full play to his role.
Otherwise, if Chen Shaokuan was still here and Zhang Yong came, it would be very embarrassing for the two of them to meet. Zhang Yong himself would be embarrassed too. He might not be able to command freely.
On the contrary, if Chen Shaokuan is transferred away, just like how Zhu Shaoliang was transferred before, Zhang Yong will be able to use his fingers freely.
Objectively speaking, this was Chiang's thoughtful arrangement so that Zhang Yong would not be constrained.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, this arrangement showed signs that Chen Shaokuan was running away from the battlefield. Naturally, he would be despised.
Alas, what an injustice...
"Commander Chen left Jiangyin because of me."
"Why?"
"Just like Commander Xu leaving Jiangyin Fortress."
"this……"
Du Songyue finally understood.
It seems that this is indeed the case? Both generals were transferred away.
Then Zhang Yong came...
"The navy is still useful."
Zhang Yong said slowly.
But what is its use? I haven’t thought of it yet.
What?
Mine?
That thing is actually difficult to control.
Do you think if you throw it in the river and it flows down the river, it will blow up the Japanese warships?
Not that easy.
Requires some skills.
so……
If you have time, you have to gather people from the Navy to study it together.
well……
So busy...
"Report!"
A staff officer hurried over.
He was holding a telegram in his hand and his face was full of joy.
"What's up?"
"Reporting to the commissioner, this is a congratulatory message from the headquarters."
"read."
"yes."
The staff officer immediately read it loudly.
It was a clear telegram sent directly from the headquarters on the 95.27 MHz channel.
No need for translation.
Everyone and hearing.
Congratulations to Jiangyin Fortress for its achievements.
All meritorious officers and soldiers will be commended.
All members of the artillery crew received the seventh-class Baoding Medal!
At the same time, all members of the gun crew were promoted to the first level.
but……
There was no mention of awards for Zhang Yong.
Zhang Yong didn't care either.
He doesn't need awards.
It seems that there is no reward that can motivate him.
He wanted money, but Chiang Kai-shek didn't have it.
If you want the right, you have already given it.
The Inspector General of the Military and Political Commission was a relatively inconspicuous position in the past. No one took it seriously at all.
However, with the emergence of Zhang Yong, the value of this position has been raised to the limit.
There is no position more suitable for him than this position.
Even if it is given to the theater commander, it will not be replaced.
because……
Theoretically, he can even supervise the commander of the theater!
"in addition……"
"What else?"
"Your Majesty Commissioner, the 95.27 MHz channel has received many congratulatory telegrams. But they are all unsigned."
"I see."
"yes."
The staff officer turned and left.
Zhang Yong thought about it thoughtfully.
Lots of congratulatory telegrams?
No signature?
That would be interesting.
Maybe there are people from Yan'an...
95.27 MHz, it will become more and more lively!
…
Island country.Tokyo.
Japanese invaders base camp. General staff headquarters.
"Bang!"
Someone banged the table hard.
Then……
Everything fell silent.
…
Yokosuka.
Japanese Navy Command.
A mysterious radio wave was sent out and came to the East China Sea.
Hasegawa Kiyoshi received the report.
"Understood! Follow it immediately!"
…
Later in the night.
Jiangyin Fortress. Pier.
Because it is located on the riverside, the fortress has many docks.
Formal. Irregular.
Army, navy, civilian, etc.
Almost all the ships of the national navy sank. The docks were empty.
Even though it was late at night, the pier was still busy.
It was the transport ships from Jinling that came one after another.
The leader is Li Yunyan.
They sent a large amount of food. There were more than thirty ships.
Going down the river is actually very fast.
It happened to be night time again, so there was no need to worry about air raids by Japanese aircraft.
But you must leave before dawn and go upstream. Otherwise, you may be attacked by Japanese invaders and suffer heavy losses.
Zhang Yong appeared quietly at the dock.
He saw an acquaintance.
Zeng Guangyuan.
Here he comes.
Apparently he came to find himself.
So he showed up silently.
"Boss Zeng, we meet again."
"Commissioner Zhang!"
"Let's talk."
"good."
Zhang Yong asked Zeng Guangyuan to sit aside.
The battle during the day has ended. The Japanese invaders will not conduct air raids at night. The fortress is safe for the time being.
Perhaps it was the battle during the day that greatly boosted everyone's morale. Therefore, even at night, many people were too excited to sleep. They had no sleepiness at all.
A part of the people were organized and prepared to board the ship and then send them away.
It will be sent to the north bank of the Yangtze River.
"Is Boss Zeng looking for me?"
"Yes."
"Please tell me."
"I just came back from Chengdu."
"oh."
"According to the organization's arrangement, I specially visited your mother and your two sisters."
"..."
Zhang Yong was silent.
Mother……
younger sister……
Very far away.
sorry.
He cannot see his relatives.
The last time he stayed in Chengdu, he didn't go to see them.
Can't see.
Otherwise, it will bring danger to them. Fatal danger.
Perhaps, because of time travel, he and they are not that close. Not seeing them may be the best choice.
Wait until the day of victory...
"Your eldest sister is married. Her husband is a middle school teacher."
"good……"
"My little sister is studying."
"good……"
"Your mother is not in good health. We have arranged an old doctor near your mother's house. If anything happens, he can take care of her in time."
"Thanks."
"You sacrificed a lot to fight. We all admire you."
"It doesn't count..."
"Someone asked me to give you two words."
"What?"
Zhang Yong was confused.
Then I saw Zeng Guangyuan writing on the desktop.
Two words: friend.
There are three words signed below.
"this……"
My heart was shocked and unbelievable.
Then nod.
Zeng Guangyuan erased the writing.
Quiet.
Everything is left unsaid.
Who gave these two words to him? I can’t say.
but……
Zhang Yong suddenly smiled.
I feel quite proud, don’t you?
Drink tea.
a long time.
Zeng Guangyuan said slowly: "Jinling..."
"Dangerous." Zhang Yong shook his head, "At most, we must hold on for about a month."
"Is it that bad?"
"The generals don't know the soldiers, the soldiers don't know the generals, and people's hearts are wandering, how can they be undefeated?"
"well……"
Zeng Guangyuan was about to speak but stopped.
No more words. Just sat in silence.
Zhang Yong said goodbye.
What the other party wants to say has already been said.
He also told the answer the other party wanted to know.
