Can you still surpass Comrade Jianfeng? He doesn’t even have military power!
But it's okay to be behind the scenes.
The so-called special correspondent is the one who directs behind the scenes!
As long as the fortress garrison obeys your command, any name is acceptable.
"here……"
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly stopped.
The edge of the map shows that a large number of white dots are coming.
There are many weapons symbols. There are pistols, rifles, and submachine guns. I guess they are some big shots?
Sure enough, after a while, someone hurriedly came to report that Xu Kang, the commander-in-chief of defense, was here.
"Commander Xu..." Chen Shutong hesitated before speaking.
"I'll go greet you." Zhang Yong straightened his posture.
After all, others are also commanders-in-chief. Even if they are not popular, they should be polite before fighting.
Wrong. Wrong idiom is used. It should be: Smile hides a knife, talk sweetly and hide a sword.
So there was a warm smile on her cheeks.
Chen Shutong became even more worried. Isn't this guy really here to arrest someone? Isn't he trying to arrest Commander-in-Chief Xu?
Zhang Yong strides forward.
Soon, I saw a large group of people coming down the mountain.
They were surrounded by a big boss. The big boss's collar badge had three stars.
Good guy, it’s really three stars!
Oh, they haven’t started changing the costumes yet. They haven’t adapted it yet!
Their current military ranks are all irregular.
If it's the Quanxu military rank, it's hard to say whether it has a star or not. The Quanxu hall is very tight.
Why is it so strict? Do you deliberately keep your military rank stuck?
The main reason is that Quanxu Hall accepts dual leadership. In addition to Lao Jiang, Lao Wang can also give instructions. Naturally, it will not allow you to be promoted smoothly.
Lao Wang did this originally because he wanted to cause some trouble for Lao Jiang and show his presence. However, he did not expect that he had offended the military. Almost all officers, whether direct or unnamed, were full of hostility towards Lao Wang. Especially
It's those motley crew.
It is difficult for officers in the motley army to be promoted, but you, Lao Wang, are still stuck on purpose. Isn’t this causing hatred? As a result, there are not as many people who hate Chiang Kai-shek as there are people who hate Lao Wang. This is also because Lao Wang, as the second-ranking figure in the Fruit Party,
Because he could never get any military support, he blocked his own road.
If he works hard to gain benefits for the miscellaneous troops, he might be able to win over one or two.
Later, Li and Bai did this. They succeeded.
I suspect that Lao Jiang set up a trap for Lao Wang, but there is no evidence.
"Commander-in-Chief Xu."
"Special correspondent."
"please."
"please."
Zhang Yong greeted Xu Kang warmly.
Xu Kang is in poor health. He looks a little sallow and thin. Do you suspect hepatitis?
These days, hepatitis is also a very troublesome disease. It is difficult to cure. Because there are no antibiotics. Of course, if it is viral hepatitis, antibiotics are not effective.
"Commander Xu, your body..."
"You are old and useless. You young people are better!"
"Didn't you ask a foreign doctor to take a look?"
"I've seen it and taken a lot of western medicine. But it didn't work."
“What does Chinese medicine say?”
"Famous doctors from all over the country have also seen me a lot. I'm just hanging on to my old life."
"I see."
Zhang Yong didn't comfort the other party either. What's the use of comforting him.
The words of comfort heard by others can fill the Yangtze River.
"The special commissioner is here this time..."
"It happened suddenly. The commissioner suddenly ordered me to come for inspection. I didn't dare to neglect, so I came."
"Then, Commissioner, where do you want to start your inspection?"
"Let's see the live ammunition first."
"live ammunition……"
Xu Kang was silent. The surroundings were also quiet.
Zhang Yong then knew that they felt sorry for the cannonballs and were reluctant to use them for training. After all, cannonballs are precious and they are all golden!
Whether it is 105mm or 150mm shells, they are too expensive.
Every shot must be approved by Xu Kang.
And there was no way he would approve it. He couldn't bear it at all.
There aren't many artillery shells to begin with, and if your training is wasted, how will you fight in the future?
Is training a waste of ammunition?
Many people thought so at the time. Really.
The same goes for the bullets in the hands of infantrymen. They are reluctant to use them for training. They only use them on the battlefield.
Suddenly someone came in a hurry.
"Report."
"What's up?"
"A ship came to the dock. It was arranged by the special commissioner."
"Boat?"
Xu Kang turned to look at Zhang Yong.
Zhang Yong was also a little surprised.
Is the sand transporter so fast? Did the cannonballs arrive so quickly?
I thought it would take them a day and a night to travel by water. Frankly speaking, the speed of the sand transporting ship is really too slow.
"Oh, I arranged it. The ship is transporting 105 shells."
"Cannonball?"
"Yes. Seized from the Japanese invaders."
"That's great."
Xu Kang was very happy.
What the fortress needs most now is ammunition.
Especially large-caliber artillery shells.
It's really like hitting one shot and missing the other.
Therefore, he was reluctant to use it for live-fire training.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yong could actually get artillery shells. Could this be the reason why he came to inspect?
You came here to inspect, not to cause trouble for them. But to replenish ammunition?
"That's more than a hundred rounds."
"That's a lot."
"I'll go to the dock and have a look."
"I'll go with you."
Xu Kang couldn't wait.
Others are also very happy and looking forward to it.
This comrade, the special commissioner, is great! He can actually get large-caliber artillery shells. That's really precious.
Especially Guo Baokun. His cheeks turned red and his eyes glowed.
He wanted to engage in live ammunition shooting.
However, Commander-in-Chief Xu would not approve it.
The only hope is the special correspondent.
Since the shells were brought by the special commissioner, it must be the special commissioner who made the decision!
Hurry to the pier.
Zhang Yong discovered that it was not a sand transport ship, but an ordinary transport ship.
The people on the boat were unremarkable and I didn’t know them at all.
The weirdest thing is that the map doesn't show them. It's as if they don't exist at all.
They don't speak either. They look like wooden sculptures.
Zhang Yong was secretly suspicious.
This is……
Was it sent by the system?
No way?
Is the system so outrageous?
Create a transport ship out of thin air? That 0.55-million-ton ship...
result……
[Weapon module failed to start...]
[Try to fix...]
【Startup failed……】
[Ammunition module is being strengthened...]
[Strengthening successful...]
A series of system messages flashed by.
Zhang Yong:???
What does it mean?
Is the system unable to produce weapons? But it can provide ammunition?
In other words, there is no hope for the 100,000 Type 055s?
There are no more 300,000 J-16s?
What a broken system...
Turning around, he said to Commander-in-Chief Xu, "Let's arrange for people to unload the goods!"
"Okay. Okay. Okay." Commander-in-Chief Xu made arrangements immediately with a smile on his face. The dock suddenly became busy.
Zhang Yong didn't know how much ammunition the system had sent.
There will be no data until the goods are unloaded.
Good guy, such an ordinary transport ship brought a full 500 rounds of 88mm anti-aircraft shells, 500 rounds of 105mm howitzer shells, 500 rounds of 150mm howitzer shells, and 10,000 rounds of 20mm ejector shells.
The cannon and cannon shells were all packed in boxes and piled full of them.
but……
etc!
etc!
Why Oerlikon?
The Jiangyin Fortress is equipped with the Suluotong 20mm machine gun!
Is there something wrong?
You should give me 20mm Sulothong machine gun shells!
Faint!
"Commander Xu, does the fortress have an Oerlikon 20mm machine gun?"
"Let me ask."
Zhang Yong:......
Well, Commander-in-Chief Xu is really...
You don’t even know if Jiangyin Fortress has an Oerlikon cannon? That’s a bit too much!
However, Commander-in-Chief Xu didn't care at all.
He is smiling all over his face now. He is simply happy.
Looking at Zhang Yong, I am simply looking at the Boy Who Sends Money. No, it is more important than the Boy Who Sends Money.
A boat full of cannonballs! You can’t buy them even if you have money.
"No."
"Where is it?"
"Let me ask."
Zhang Yong:......
Commander-in-Chief Xu was speechless.
Don’t know anything!
However, Commander-in-Chief Xu's thoughts were not on him at all.
All his thoughts were on the cannonball.
With great difficulty, he brought his mind back.
"Special correspondent."
"Commander-in-Chief, tell me."
"Let's talk."
"good."
Zhang Yong walked aside with him.
Everyone else was very wise and stepped back so as not to disturb him.
Lu Hai and others were still on alert nearby.
"Commander-in-Chief..."
"Special Commissioner, I am old and in poor health. From now on, I will leave it to the special commissioner to handle the fortress matters."
"Please?"
"Yes. Please."
"Why?"
"We are arranged here to eat and wait to die. Our abilities are limited and we cannot change the status quo. Since the special commissioners can send so much ammunition to the fortress, they must also be able to get more weapons and troops to the fortress."
"this……"
Zhang Yong slowly shook his head.
There seems to be ammunition, but probably no weapons.
The system can never directly provide weapons, unless they are caught, captured, or purchased from foreigners.
As for the troops, this is even more difficult. He does not have the authority to mobilize troops.
Directly intervening in military power is taboo.
However, I suddenly remembered something. I remembered the five hundred anti-Japanese comrades on Chongming Island.
It is difficult for them to survive on Chongming Island, and they cannot appear publicly. However, if they are all arranged to Jiangyin Fortress...
Of course, the titles used were not those of anti-Japanese elements, but the people they had temporarily recruited.
Now I have a lot of titles, and I have arranged for hundreds of people to be sent to Jiangyin Fortress. Is it normal?
There were only a few hundred people, so Chiang Kai-shek would not take it seriously. It is estimated that no one would secretly report it to Chiang Kai-shek.
Yes. That's it.
Anyone who comes in the future will be arranged at Jiangyin Fortress.
"good."
Zhang Yong quickly changed his tune.
Xu Kang breathed a sigh of relief and felt that a big burden had been given away.
Although he is a miscellaneous person, he also knows that China and Japan will have a war sooner or later. When the time comes, Jiangyin Fortress will definitely bear the brunt.
Without enough weapons and ammunition, without enough defenders, the fortress is waiting to die.
If it were before, he would not have the ability to improve the situation.
But now that Zhang Yong is here, maybe he can.
wrong.
It’s not maybe. It’s definitely possible.
When Zhang Yong first arrived, he immediately brought a boat full of artillery shells!
Who can do it?
Since Xu Kang is willing to cooperate, Zhang Yong is welcome.
"The main force of the defenders..."
"Alas, Wang Jialie's double spearmen..."
"Are there no other troops?"
"No."
Xu Kang shook his head and sighed helplessly.
He used the word hodgepodge to describe the current Jiangyin Fortress.
confusion.
Ruined.
Especially the 103rd Division of the Guizhou Army that had just been transferred. People's hearts were fluctuating and soldiers often fled.
It is said that when they came, there were about 11,000 people. The original three divisions of the Guizhou Army were compressed into one division. However, only half a year after arriving at Jiangyin Fortress, more than a thousand people fled one after another. Now there may be only 11,000 people left.
There are more than 9,000 people. Some may continue to flee.
"Where is their teacher?"
"I'm sick. I went to Shanghai to recuperate."
"Where's the deputy division commander?"
"I'm also sick. I'm going home to marry my little wife."
"this……"
Zhang Yong was speechless.
The division commander is not here, and neither is the deputy division commander. Who is in charge?
Could it be that Chiang Kai-shek deliberately arranged for him to be the teacher?
Then test whether you are contaminated by military power?
"Right now Chief of Staff Cheng Zhigao is in command. His nickname is Cheng Yaojin. He has a bad temper. He has a deep grudge against the commission. You were sent by the commission, so he will not come to see you."
"He's not worried about being removed from office?"
"When he was dismissed, the 103rd Division was really disbanded. There was no need for it. All the 103rd Division had were fire sticks, so there was no threat."
"What fire stick?"
"They are all equipped with old sleeves that don't even have rifling. There is not a single heavy machine gun or mortar in the entire division. There are less than thirty light machine guns."
"Oh. That's okay. Even if it's placed at the door of the committee, the committee members don't have to worry."
"This... be careful!"
Xu Kang looked strange. He corrected himself subconsciously.
This guy Zhang Yong actually chews the commissioner's tongue behind his back? Isn't he a pug?
Don't understand.
However, remind yourself to be careful when speaking in the future.
Zhang Yong stopped mentioning this matter and turned around.
"Guo Baokun."
"arrive."
"Prepare for the live-fire assessment."
"ah?"
Guo Baokun was not stunned. He was purely excited.
The expectation has finally become a reality. It’s finally possible to fire live ammunition. It’s finally for real.
"did not hear clearly?"
"yes!"
Guo Baokun hurriedly answered loudly.
Show the same energy as when you first stepped into Whampoa Military Academy and answered your first question.
I wish my voice could soar through the sky.
"All 88 guns and 105,150 howitzers will participate in the live ammunition assessment."
"yes."
"Each gun fires three rounds."
"yes."
Guo Baokun left happily.
Here, Xu Kang also ordered everyone to cooperate. He also wanted to see the effect of live ammunition shooting.
Before, I was reluctant to give up the cannons if I didn't have them. Now that I have them, of course I'm approved.
He also deliberately cultivated Zhang Yong's prestige. From now on, Zhang Yong, the special commissioner, could just issue orders directly in the fortress.
All preparations...
The target ship sets off...
Zhang Yong noticed that there were also large groups of white dots on the edge of the map.
He signaled Xu Kang to raise the telescope and observe.
"It's Cheng Zhigao."
"oh."
Zhang Yong actually guessed it.
After all, he is a special commissioner and a "confidant lackey" of the commission.
Cheng Zhigao could not be completely indifferent.
Even if you are hostile, you still have to come and observe your movements.
This chief of staff should have some skills. He can control the entire 103rd Division. In a war, we need such a person.
But let it dry for now.
He, Zhang Yong, is not a jobber. He doesn't know how to put a hot face on a cold butt.
We believe in equal treatment.
Busy……
excited……
Some officers were happy, feeling that they finally had a chance to prove their strength.
But there are also some officers who are uneasy and worried about having their secrets exposed. They usually fish for fish and have not trained well at all. They will definitely not be able to hide it once they fire.
"let's start!"
Zhang Yong waved his hand and ordered to shoot.
Let’s start with the Huangshan Fort. The on-site commander is Guo Baokun.
In such a huge fortress, he is the only Huangpu student.
Zhang Yong appointed him as the leader, and no one else had any objections.
Are you a Huangpu student?
no?
Then shut up!
Go to Huangpu Military Academy first!
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
First the 105mm howitzer started firing.
The distance of the target ship is about five kilometers. It is difficult to see clearly with the naked eye. However, telescopes and gun scopes can.
Although the Germans are very ruthless in making money, the accompanying equipment is still very complete. The gun scopes are all high-end goods.
Zhang Yong raised his telescope.
Shells exploded in the distance.
The high water droplets stirred up. The telescope could see very clearly.
but……
Not a good placement.
The error is huge.
A conservative estimate is over 100 meters.
A bit outrageous.
Therefore, there is a big difference between theoretical calculations and live ammunition operations.
Because theoretical calculations cannot accurately determine the wear of the gun barrel, many parameters cannot be determined, including recoil and so on.
Fixed shooting elements.
Then keep shooting.
"Bang!"
This time, we finally got a little closer. The error was about twenty meters.
Zhang Yong nodded. There was a big improvement. If the target was a Japanese warship, there was a possibility of being hit.
However, the third shot failed again.
However, the base was shaken loose and the cannon ejected from the chamber was seriously deviated.
Therefore, live-fire drills are still necessary! Otherwise, even if you can think of the vibration and loosening of the base, there is no way to calculate it!
well……
The next one is the 88 gun. Direct shooting. The distance is also five kilometers.
The 88 gun can be aimed directly.
Because its muzzle can be tilted downward.
However, there is a blind spot for shooting. Within three kilometers, it is impossible to aim directly.
In other words, it can only shoot at targets three kilometers away. Once the target comes within three kilometers, it cannot be aimed directly.
"Bang!"
Cannon ejected from chamber.
I don't know where it flew to.
The ground was severely sunken and the base collapsed directly.
However, when it was first built, the base was not taken care of and corners were cut.
No steel bars.
No cement.
As a result, the cannon fired, and the recoil was astonishing.
This is the first time I have fired the gun! If I continue to fire the gun, the entire base will probably sink in.
"asshole……"
Xu Kang couldn't help scolding his mother.
Zhang Yong is used to it.
The national army...
Fruit party...
Normal operation.
Otherwise, how could it be possible to lose everything in just three years?
