Jiang Cheng traveled back to Black Iron Island and was about to transport the remaining arms and supplies. Jiang Cheng turned on his phone and found a text message from Kou Kou, saying that he wanted to see her for something, and Jiang Cheng just wanted to talk to her.
Let’s talk about expediting arms transportation.
The call was quickly connected. It seemed that it was still night time on the other side. Kou Kou's tone was a little sleepy: "Brother Cheng, what's the matter?"
Jiang Cheng said embarrassedly, "Kou Kou, are you still resting? I'm sorry, I want to discuss business with you. Where are you now?"
Koko yawned and said, "I'm in New York for the next two days. Come over when you have time."
Jiang Cheng looked at the vast sea outside Black Iron Island and said awkwardly, "It will take about four or five days for me to find you. Where will you be by then?"
Koko thought for a while and said, "I should be in Paris in four or five days. Is it convenient?"
Jiang Cheng called Sun Ning again. At this time, Sun Ning was working full of energy.
"My boss, what's the matter?" Sun Ning asked.
"Help me book a flight ticket to Paris in five days. Also, as for the people who told you this news, I'm still a little afraid of the last time the Yankees attacked me. It's better to have your protection when I go abroad." Jiang Cheng
Said jokingly.
Sun Ning rolled his eyes and said, "My boss, you are too rude. You obviously want to fly abroad, you can't hide it at all."
Jiang Cheng chuckled, "It's good that you know."
After Jiang Cheng sent some of the remaining things from Black Iron Island back to Yan'an, he immediately returned to modern Shanghai and boarded a plane to Paris under the eyes of Yu Na and Sun Ning.
"Paris, big brother, can you buy me some clothes?" Zifeng asked Jiang Cheng with a smile as he shook his legs.
God knows why every time Jiang Cheng takes a plane, the person sitting next to him is always Zifeng.
"Okay, okay, as long as you don't disturb me, I'll just buy it for you." Jiang Cheng shook his head and said.
"Brother, are you really not considering buying something from us? It's really good quality and cheap." Zifeng asked, blinking his big eyes.
"I want to, but I really can't transport it out. If I buy a bunch of cannons and disappear in the country, you must be crazy." Jiang Cheng shook his head helplessly and said, "You have to know, I can't make the decision on many things.
.”
Zifeng pouted unhappily and said, "The baby is unhappy. The baby is in mood. Does your boss need to be so afraid of us?"
Jiang Cheng stopped talking and looked out the window. Soon the plane arrived in Paris.
In a five-star hotel in Paris, Jiang Cheng and Zifeng came to the presidential suite of the hotel. Looking at the two bodyguards standing outside the door, Jiang Cheng stepped forward and said, "I am Jiang Cheng, Miss Kou Kou."
friend."
The black bodyguard gave Jiang Cheng a cold look, and immediately showed a very flattering smile and said, "It turns out that Mr. Jiang has arrived. The lady has been waiting inside for a long time. This is your sister, Miss Zifeng. Come on, Miss Zifeng.
We have sweets and snacks ready in the next room."
Jiang Cheng smiled and said to Zifeng, "Didn't you say you came here to protect my safety? I'm very safe here."
Zifeng snorted and said, "The dog bit Lu Dongbin, bye."
Jiang Cheng entered the room and saw Kou Kou practicing yoga in yoga clothes. Seeing Jiang Cheng, Kou Kou asked, "Brother Cheng is here, wait a minute, I'll change clothes."
Jiang Cheng nodded, and after a while, Kou Kou in a dress came out, "Brother Cheng, come on, tell me what you want from me?"
Jiang Cheng lit up a cigarette and said, "Four things, first, when will the rest of my plane arrive?"
Koko took out her notebook, looked at it and said, "All of them will be delivered within two months. After all, they are all old-fashioned models and are not difficult to manufacture."
Jiang Cheng said happily, "That's good, and the second thing is, how's the tank thing going?"
Koko shrugged and said, "The gold has dispersed, but tanks are relatively sensitive after all. We still need to communicate. This matter cannot be rushed. However, many military factories in Ukraine are shut down, and the economic situation is not good. Don't worry.
, it’s just a matter of time.”
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "The third thing, I want some cannons. If they are field guns, there are many mortars I wanted before. The requirement is that they should be light in weight. By the way, they should not be self-propelled."
Koko peeled off a candy and fed it to her mouth, nodded and said, "I know, the older the better, preferably from World War II. You, a garbage collector, how about this? A D-30 howitzer from the former Soviet Union.
It has a caliber of 122 mm and a total weight of only three tons, but this heavy artillery is also a sensitive thing, and I need to open the joints."
The most important purpose of Jiang Cheng's plan was to train the artillery of the Republic of China. It was one thing to fire the artillery, but it was another thing to fire it accurately. Elite artillery could never be produced through theoretical study.
Jiang Cheng immediately made a decision and said, "Okay, give me thirty of them. The price is easy to find. The ammunition will cost one thousand rounds, and the special ammunition will cost two hundred rounds."
Koko shrugged and said, "I really can't say how much this thing costs right now. I'll tell you when there is news."
Jiang Cheng pointed to the next door and said, "Then Kou Kou, hurry up. They keep recommending weapons to me over there."
Kou Kou couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this. This was the first time Jiang Cheng spoke in a slightly threatening manner.
Jiang Cheng smiled and waved his hands and said, "Don't be nervous. The last thing is a big order. I want 100,000 SKS, 4,000 RPD machine guns, 500 2B14 mortars, 200 recoilless rifles, and ammunition."
It's all the same as before, one thousand rifles, two thousand machine guns, and one thousand artillery shells. By the way, the weapons and bullets I bought last time are very powerful. Let's do it this way. The rifles have one thousand, five hundred bullets, and the machine guns have four thousand rounds.
.”
Kou Kou's eyes lit up and she said, "Brother Cheng, you are indeed my brother's friend. I'll give you a discount, even 200 million yuan."
For Jiang Cheng, who was sitting on hundreds of tons of gold, one or two hundred million was really nothing. Jiang Cheng immediately decided, "Deal, and I need a lot of explosives."
Koko nodded and said, "This is no problem, it's easy to do. How much do you want?"
Jiang Cheng did the math and said, "Get me three thousand tons."
Kou Kou was stunned, what is the concept of three thousand tons of explosives? The yield of a little boy is fifteen thousand tons, which is one fifth of a little boy.
Kou Kou thought about it and said, "Well, how about selling you 60 million yuan for the explosives?"
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Okay, transport them all to Black Iron Island. Help me transport them as soon as possible. Thank you."
Seeing that she had finished talking about her business, Kou Kou pointed out the window and said, "Brother Cheng, this is a romantic city. You can't go back in vain when you come here. Come on, let's have some fun."
Looking at Kou Kou who was licking her tongue with great excitement, cold sweat broke out on Jiang Cheng's head. She was simply a female gangster, and she really looked a bit like Ying Tianlin.
——The time and space of the Republic of China
After a month of continuous rain, the skies in Hubei, Anhui and other places finally began to clear up. Japanese aircraft once again came to Wuhan and other places for reconnaissance and bombing. Large-scale air battles between the National Army Air Force and the Soviet Volunteer Army and the Japanese Army had broken out for four or five years.
times.
During this month, the Japanese army did not accomplish anything. In the heavy rain, the Japanese army eliminated more than a thousand mines in the Yangtze River, and transported a large amount of supplies to the front line. The construction of Anqing's airport was completed. Behind these achievements were hundreds of thousands of people.
The lives of thousands of Chinese workers.
"The next target of the Japanese army is Jiujiang in our theater. At the Hukou Fortress before Jiujiang, our three divisions have been fighting the Japanese army for three days. Both sides have suffered heavy casualties." Xue Yue pointed to the map and said to Chen Cheng, "Sir Chen,
My opinion is that Jiujiang is right on the edge of the Yangtze River, and it is difficult for us to defend here. It is better to focus our defense on the Lushan area south of Jiujiang. Here, we can counterattack the Japanese communication lines during the Jiujiang phase at any time."
Chen Cheng nodded and said, "We have been fighting for a year. As long as the Japanese warships can reach, it is difficult for us to have a chance of winning. You are right to have such a plan, but I still hope to block the Japanese army at the front line of Hukou. Let's increase the number first."
Send two divisions to the direction of Hukou, and put one division in Jiujiang as a reserve."
At this time, several guards supported an officer with bandages all over his body and walked in. As soon as the officer saw Chen Cheng, he rushed forward crying and shouted, "Chief Chen, Chief Chen, you must avenge us..."
Hukou... Hukou is lost!!"
Chen Cheng grabbed the officer and drank until he said, "Lost? Why did you lose it? Don't you have three divisions? Why did you lose Hukou without even sending a telegram? Tell me, did you run away again?"
There was still blood on the officer's wounds, and he whined, "Sir Chen, you are wronged, you are really wronged, my brothers worked hard, we fought for three days and three nights, and we destroyed all the ammunition in the fortress."
Halfway through, the Japanese aircraft and artillery bombarded them continuously. Zhang Wenmei's battalion guarding the beach was wiped out, and not a single one surrendered. Brigadier Jin of the 57th Brigade had his right hand broken and did not even get out of the line of fire. We really tried our best. But
, but the devils are not human beings. They released poisonous gas out of conscience, three divisions, brothers of the three divisions."
As he spoke, the officer broke down in tears, and black blood and sweat dripped on the ground, looking extremely miserable.
"The Hukou Fortress is so big? How could they all be poisoned by poison gas? Also, what about the telegram? Why didn't you send a telegram?" Xue Yue helped the officer to a chair and motioned to the guard to pour him a cup of tea.
"Thank you, thank you, sir. The Japanese fired poison gas bombs last night. Planes, battleships, and cannons all fired poison gas bombs. I don't know how many they fired, but I estimate there were thousands or even thousands of them. The whole fortress was full of gas bombs.
It was the screams of the brothers who were poisoned by the poison gas. The Japanese took the opportunity to launch a large-scale attack. I escaped because I was patrolling outside the fortress." The officer said tremblingly, with fear in his eyes. The three divisions
The fact that his comrades were massacred like this made him feel a little unacceptable now.
Chen Cheng punched the table and said through gritted teeth, "Shameless, extremely shameless."
Xue Yue shook his head and said, "We don't have poison gas bombs to counterattack, so the devils will naturally have no scruples when using poison gas."
Chen Cheng exhaled and said, "The lack of telegrams is probably because something happened to the radio station. The Japanese army will come to Jiujiang soon and order the troops to retreat to the Lushan Mountains immediately."
Under the command of Chen Cheng, the Ninth War Zone quickly withdrew from Jiujiang before the Japanese army arrived, and Jiujiang was declared to have fallen.
Okamura Neiji entered Jiujiang City in a car, surrounded by countless Japanese troops.
"Look there, it's said to be the place where General Zhou Gongjin trained his troops during the Three Kingdoms period." Okamura Neiji pointed to a high platform by the Yangtze River and said.
"Your Excellency, Commander, is really knowledgeable and talented, and my subordinates admire him." Several officers quickly flattered him and said.
"China is really a great country. We are so lucky to be born in this era. Do you know that China was our teacher for thousands of years before the Sino-Japanese War." Neji Okamura sighed.
He said, and several other officers looked at each other with their mouths crooked, not knowing what to say.
Okamura Neiji is a well-known China expert in the Japanese army. He has done intelligence work for many years and has lived in China for a long time. He also served as Sun Chuanfang’s Japanese adviser. Okamura Neiji knows many high-level figures in China and has a deep understanding of China.
He was very knowledgeable about all aspects, and even one of his sons died of illness in Shanghai.
It is precisely because of his understanding of China that Okamura Ningji has completely opposite views to many of the senior Japanese military officials.
As early as the September 18th Incident broke out, Okamura Neiji strongly disapproved of it. He believed that North Korea and Taiwan had not yet fully developed their territory. Now they have occupied such a large area in Northeast China and have completely become China's mortal enemy. This is not true.
necessary.
When the Battle of Jehol broke out, Okamura Neiji was also very dissatisfied with the battle and believed that the top brass of the Japanese military were too ambitious.
Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Okamura Ningji once firmly opposed the expansion of the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, believing that if more troops were added to the border, Japan would surely fall into a protracted war with China, and it would inevitably lose.
Unfortunately, at that time Okamura Neji was just a division commander and had no right to interfere with the military's decision-making.
After being appointed as the commander of the 11th Army, Okamura Neiji also knew that the Wuhan battle was extremely difficult, but in the words of his colleague Yamamoto Isoroku: Although I extremely disapprove of this battle, since the superiors gave the order
, as a soldier we must obey orders and do our best to help Japan win.
It was with a tangled mentality that Okamura Neiji led six divisions to launch an attack on Wuhan.
"Your Excellency, Commander, the National Army has fled to the south, what should we do next?" a staff officer stood up and asked.
Okamura Neiji shook his head and said helplessly to his subordinates who didn't know how to remember the present and the past, "We only have 130,000 people. Now we have two ways, either to attack Wuhan to the north or to attack Nanchang to the south. If we attack
Wuhan will definitely fall into a hard fight, of course, I believe we will win, but what if the National Army attacks Jiujiang to cut off our retreat at this time?"
The staff officer nodded and said, "Then attack Nanchang?"
Neji Okamura stroked his beard with a smile and said, "Give me the order. We will attack in two directions. One way will be from the west of Lushan Mountain, southward along the Nanxun railway line, occupy the important town of De'an, and then occupy Nanchang. The other way will be along the Dexing Highway.
, attack westward from the De'an area, attack in a roundabout way, bypass the fifteen divisions concentrated there, and attack Wuhan."
After talking about the plan, Okamura Neiji waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't bother me anymore, help me find a boat, I'm going to play the piano and fish."
