Jiang Xinyu knew that there was a high probability that Qiao Mucai was promoted to lieutenant general, otherwise he would not have given him such a valuable thing.
Sure enough, Qiao Mu sat up straight and said with a complacent look: "The commissioner was very happy to have caught the fugitive He Yunjian. With a stroke of his pen, I finally got on the last train for this list of promoted lieutenant generals.
It is estimated that there will be results by the middle of the year.”
Jiang Xinyu said: "Students congratulate the teacher for being promoted to lieutenant general!"
Qiao Mucai smiled and waved his hand: "Don't make any noise about this matter yet. After all, it hasn't been announced yet. If I don't have it by then, wouldn't I become the laughing stock of everyone?"
"The committee members nominated me personally. I think it is definitely confirmed."
"I hope so..." Qiao Mu took a sip from the tea bowl, sighed softly, and said: "On this trip to Nanjing, I met many old friends. Everyone is not optimistic about the situation. In their
It seems that the best result in the future may be to divide the river and control it."
Jiang Xinyu shook his head: "Webmaster, I don't agree with this view. Isn't this too negative?"
"Give your opinion."
"Not to mention the distance, there are 17 reorganized divisions in Pingjin and Tianjin. Together with the local armed forces, there are almost at least more than 500,000 troops, including the 35th Army that severely damaged the puppet Mongolia. They are purely beautiful weapons troops, the best among the best.
, I don’t believe that with the fighting power of the Communist army, Pingjin can be captured easily!”
"Well, what you said makes sense. In the great victory of Bailing Temple that year, the 35th Army showed its national prestige and momentum. It is indeed an ace army that can attack well and defend well..."
Qiao Mucai first echoed a few words, then changed the topic and said: "But you have to know that today is no better than in the past. The morale of the Communist Army is strong, and the National Army is defeated again and again. The 60th Army and the New 1st Army can
Were you able to fight? We defeated the Japanese army in Myanmar back then. How are we doing now? We were besieged in the isolated city of Changchun, with no reinforcements or reinforcements inside or outside. If Zheng Dongguo hadn’t personally taken command, we would probably have opened the city and surrendered long ago.”
Jiang Xinyu said: "Webmaster, what's wrong with you? It seems that you are not in a good mood."
Qiao Mu pondered for a moment and then said: "Xinyu, you are not an outsider. Let me tell you the truth. The superiors are very interested in crossing the river to control it. The Americans also think this is the best strategy. Why doesn't Nanjing send troops to reinforce it?
Changchun? Firstly, there are no troops to send, and secondly, to prepare for the natural dangers of the Yangtze River. Changchun cannot be defended, and the Northeast cannot be defended either. Zheng Dongguo's mission is to contain the main force of the Communist army and buy time for the national army to deploy defenses!"
Jiang Xinyu said in surprise: "Then, what should General Zheng do?"
Qiao Mucai smiled and said: "I heard that you like playing chess very much. Don't you understand this? As long as you can keep the boss, you don't have to give up the chariots, horses and artillery."
"You mean, even Pingjin has to be given up?"
"You still don't understand... I don't mean to give up voluntarily. Of course it's best if you can hold on. If you can't hold on, then you have to use up the communist army as much as possible!"
Jiang Xinyu understood that the intention of the Kuomintang government was obvious, to deploy heavy troops along the Yangtze River, and to basically abandon the Northeast and North China strategically.
Qiao Mu thought for a while: "These words are just private chats between you and me. Please do not spread them out. We cannot afford to be accused of confusing the morale of the army..."
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said: "Don't worry, I know what's appropriate. How dare you say such things everywhere."
Qiao Mu took a sip from the tea bowl, sighed softly, and said, "Even so, we cannot sit still and wait for death. Every step forward by the communist army must be paid in blood!"
…………
One week later.
Two o'clock in the morning.
A P-51 fighter jet flew over Shiqiao Village. The pilot did not even have to worry about being attacked by artillery fire. The only heavy firepower the Dagu detachment had was a Maxim heavy machine gun that was short of bullets.
Under the cover of night, the whole village seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.
About half a minute later, there was a dazzling light on the ground, a torch was tied to a wooden stake, and a black figure ran wildly towards the west.
According to the information provided by Yanjin Station, at two o'clock in the morning, this burning torch was the bombing coordinates!
Even with precise coordinates, there must be errors in aircraft bombing. For powerful aerial bombs, this error is completely negligible.
In order to ensure the accuracy of the bombing, the pilot lowered the flying altitude, then opened the bombing bay, and two aerial bombs weighing one hundred pounds fell rapidly.
boom!
boom!
In the dead of night, the explosion of aerial bombs was as loud as the earth shattering. Accompanied by the roar of engines, the P-51 fighter jet flew past in mid-air.
The ground was filled with flames, and a raging fire broke out.
The plane made a circle and roared back again. The pilot needed to confirm the bombing effect.
"Why didn't I see anyone running out..." the pilot muttered to himself.
"Empty empty empty empty empty empty!"
Suddenly, gunshots like exploding beans rang out in the darkness. Four team members were carrying the Maxim heavy machine gun frame. The machine gunner was almost lying on his back, spraying tongues of flame at the P-51 fighter jet in the sky.
I thought it was a sneak attack, but I didn't expect that the opponent was actually prepared. The pilot quickly pulled up the plane and quickly avoided the range of the machine gun.
Watching the plane go away crookedly, Cao Yunfei walked over with a shell gun, raised the gun and fired two shots into the sky, venting the anger in his heart.
"Xiaowuzi, did you hit it?" Cao Yunfei said to the machine gunner.
The machine gunner Xiaowuzi sat up. With the help of four team members, he carefully placed Maxim on the ground, and then said: "It must have been hit. It flew too low and was easy to hit..."
Cao Yunfei was ecstatic: "Did you really hit it? I will give you a big credit. From tomorrow on, you will be the deputy of the machine gun squad!"
Xiaowuzi chuckled and said: "Captain, there are only three people in the machine gun squad."
"There are so few people. I didn't see it. You are quite addicted to officialdom. When there are more machine guns in the future, there will be more people..." Cao Yunfei frowned and said suspiciously: "Isn't that right? What if I get hit?
, how can the plane still fly?”
Xiaowuzi scratched his head: "I don't know, I just feel like I was hit."
The team member next to him smiled and said: "Xiao Wuzi, don't you just brag?"
"That's it, just hit it randomly. If you miss it and say you hit it, your skin will be blown to the sky." Another team member echoed.
Xiao Wuzi blushed anxiously, but could not refute their ridicule and ridicule.
Bao Changyi walked over and said to Cao Yunfei: "Captain Cao, we have to hurry up and withdraw. We must beware of a second attack by the enemy."
Cao Yunfei glanced at the extinguishing fire in the distance and said, "Are the folks okay?"
Bao Changyi said with a smile: "It's okay. We took the plane to the wild area, which is far away from the village. The bomb ignited the grassland, but it helped the villagers open up wasteland."
Cao Yunfei nodded, waved his hand, and shouted: "Bring all the traitors here!"
After a while, everyone, including Gu Xiaomai, as well as the Secret Service Agent Salesman and Liu Baochang, were all kidnapped and brought over.
Gumai's face was ashen, his knees softened and he fell to the ground, tremblingly saying: "Captain, please spare me, they are the ones who forced me..."
Cao Yunfei kicked Gumai Maimai in the air and said bitterly: "I'm really blind. I saved someone like you back then. If we hadn't discovered it earlier, we wouldn't have been in trouble!"
