Is Xu Kang capable? Yes. However, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Without resources, she can only stare blankly.
Moreover, he comes from a mixed military background and his own prestige is not strong enough.
The troops stationed in the fortress also come from all over the world, and many of them are the remnants of local factions that have been abolished.
Placing them here is actually fish on the chopping board.
Waiting for further processing.
For example, the 103rd Division was reduced from the original three divisions of the Guizhou Army. Therefore, it has a large number of people. However, its overall combat effectiveness is almost zero.
The situation of the five large forts and three small forts is not optimistic either.
After the first round of live ammunition firing, it is estimated that it will take half a month just to repair and organize it.
There are too many problems found that cannot be rectified at once.
"Special correspondent."
"Please take a seat."
Here comes the chief of staff of the fortress garrison headquarters, Du Songyue.
Du Songyue also came from a mixed army. He is in his fifties and has been on the battlefield for more than thirty years.
He once participated in the Wuchang Uprising. He was considered a veteran and had good military exploits. However, for some reason, he wasted his life and finally settled in Jiangyin Fortress.
The whole person looked very vicissitudes of life. His eyes were dull and dull. Maybe he had experienced too many lives and deaths.
He has experienced almost all wars since the Revolution of 1911. One person is a history book.
"Chief of Staff Du, Jiangyin Fortress will be handed over to you in the future."
Zhang Yong got straight to the point.
His mission is to patrol, not to be stationed for a long time.
It's impossible for him to stay here for a long time. He has his own special mission.
Catching Japanese spies is his main job.
"yes."
Du Songyue replied woodenly.
Neither happy nor sad. He seems like a wooden person with no emotions.
In fact, among the lower-level officers and soldiers, the chief of staff was indeed nicknamed "Wooden Man". He didn't mind either.
According to Chen Shutong's description, he will do whatever you ask him to do.
He can do well what you tell him to do, but he will do more than he needs.
If you don't explicitly tell him to do something, he will definitely not do it.
It is said that he suffered a big loss before.
Honest people are like this. They have been cheated a lot. They finally learned to protect themselves.
Do more and take more measures. Do less and make fewer mistakes. It’s better not to do anything. The essence of the workplace.
"This is what I want you to do."
Zhang Yong pushed a piece of official paper in front of Du Songyue.
All the matters are listed on it. It also has Zhang Yong's autograph and date.
This is tantamount to telling the other party clearly. This is in black and white. This is what I want you to do. If there is a problem, I will be responsible. I will definitely not implicate you.
You are a subordinate. You only need to faithfully execute orders.
I, Zhang Yong, am not afraid of taking responsibility. The worst I can do is to turn into a bandit. Maybe I will feel freer.
"yes."
Du Songyue took the official document.
Read it carefully. There is no problem. It is written in black and white.
It has Zhang Yong's signature and fingerprints.
Well, Zhang Yong even put his own fingerprints on it, which completely reassured the other party.
"Staff Archives."
"yes."
"Is there a problem?"
"No. The humble duty will be implemented immediately."
"Okay. Let's go."
Zhang Yong nodded and said no more words.
What I want to say has been written clearly in black and white.
You are an honest person. We handle official business.
"Report!"
Suddenly, a captain officer hurriedly came to the door.
Zhang Yong nodded and let him in.
"Report to the commissioner. A ship has arrived at the dock. It is full of ammunition."
"What did you say?"
"Report to the commissioner that a ship of arms has arrived at the dock."
"Yeah?"
"It said it was arranged by the special correspondent. Please ask the special correspondent to receive it in person."
"oh."
Zhang Yong reacted.
It may be that the sand transporting ship has arrived. It has a hundred rounds of 150mm artillery shells on it.
So he stood up and waved to Du Songyue, asking him to go with him. Although there were only a hundred rounds of artillery shells, they were still arms!
As a result, Zhang Yong discovered something was wrong when he arrived near the dock.
It's not a sand ship.
It's an ordinary transport ship.
It is exactly the same as what the system sent before.
The people above are like sculptures. They have no expressions or speak. The map is not displayed either.
surprise.
Is this sent by the system again?
Good guy. The system is so powerful! Two ships of arms were sent in succession?
No wonder Jiangyin Fortress was chosen as the base. It was for the convenience of water transportation and to keep it secret. No one knows where the transport ships came from.
The water transport volume is also very large. One ship can haul hundreds of tons. Even thousands of tons.
The Yangtze River waterway, from Hankou below, can accommodate ships of 3,000 tons. Slower, even ships of 5,000 tons can be navigated.
From Hankou to Chongqing, ships of about 1,500 tons can also sail. It can be said to be a golden waterway.
As long as the system is willing to arrange it, any amount of ammunition can be transported.
Unfortunately, there are only ammunition and no weapons.
If you want weapons, you have to find a way yourself.
"Report."
"Bring me the cargo list."
"yes."
Soon, Zhang Yong got the goods list.
Of course it is given by the system.
Zhang Yong was stunned after just one glance.
Damn it, the number is huge!
The system seems to be out of control?
A shipload of artillery shells was sent just before, and now a shipload of bullets is sent?
It feels like the transport ship that came today is bigger than the one yesterday. It feels like the amount of ammunition transported is greater?
be surprised……
joy……
Pass the list to Du Songyue.
Du Songyue was also surprised. His dark face was faintly red.
No way. Excited.
That much ammunition?
They were all sent to the fortress? How amazing.
This Zhang Yong can really get so much ammunition!
admire.
Where is Cheng Zhigao? Why isn't this guy here? Bullets are what he needs most!
silence.
Memorize the numbers on the list.
Rifle bullets are available in three types.
One is the 92mm Mauser rifle cartridge. It is the most common in China. There are 5 million rounds.
One is the 62mm Mosin-Nagant rifle bullet. It is also relatively common in China. There are three million rounds.
There is also a 63mm shell gun bullet. There are also three million rounds.
incredible.
More than 10 million rounds of ammunition!
If the numbers were without water, the number of bullets in this batch would be simply too scary.
He, Du Songyue, has been on the battlefield for so many years and has been the chief of staff for many years. He has never seen so many bullets.
A division that can produce hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition is considered good. More than one million rounds is an absolute miracle.
"chief of staff."
"arrive."
"Arrange for someone to receive it."
"yes."
"Check carefully."
"yes."
"Inform the 103rd Division to come and receive ammunition. Give them two million rounds first. They will decide the specific model themselves."
"yes."
Du Songyue agreed.
As the saying goes, a wise woman cannot make a meal without rice.
But now, he felt like he was holding a mountain of gold, full of bullets.
A total of 11 million rounds of ammunition were allocated to Cheng Zhigao, 2 million rounds, and a full 9 million rounds. The ammunition reserve can be said to be quite sufficient.
However, in addition to these bullets, there is also a gift list.
Thirty thousand wooden handle grenades.
One hundred thousand rounds of 7mm machine gun bullets.
The former is nothing surprising. But the latter is...
Zhang Yong personally boarded the ship and found those large-caliber machine gun bullets. They were all real.
They are all bullets matching the M2HB large-caliber (7mm) machine gun of the United States. If they are fake, they will be replaced.
"Lao Ganma..."
"It's really good..."
"But it's expensive..."
Zhang Yong murmured to himself.
Of course he knows the power of the M2HB heavy machine gun.
Its bullets can easily penetrate the Japanese invaders' Doudin tanks. There is no need to use anti-tank guns.
It can also be used for general brick-concrete structural fortifications.
If it is used to hit someone...
It can be said that if the frontline troops have such heavy machine guns, they will not be afraid of Japanese tanks or anything like that. They will die if they come.
The problem is, it's really expensive.
Now, in the beautiful country, arms production is in a downturn.
The price of an old antique like the M2HB is definitely at an all-time low. However, its price is still over a thousand dollars!
Why……
More than a thousand dollars!
A heavy machine gun costs more than a thousand dollars!
The price is equivalent to three Ford Model T cars. How many people are willing to buy it?
Shake his head.
Let’s talk about it later.
Wait until you get rich first.
Soon, Cheng Zhigao came.
His attitude towards Zhang Yong was obviously much friendlier.
"Special correspondent."
"Mr. Cheng."
Zhang Yong still had a straight face and no expression.
I can give you the ammunition. However, you have to seriously consider what I said before.
In your 103rd Division, many soldiers failed the test. The double-gun soldiers were contaminated with smoke and dust. This is definitely not acceptable. All those who smoke heavy tobacco must be cleaned up.
Even the national army will never allow large-scale smoking. This is especially true for military officers.
Chiang Kai-shek himself knew that an army that smoked heavy cigarettes would not be able to fight. Chen Cheng, He Yingqin and others also knew this.
Even Tang Enbo has relatively good control on this point.
Clear out the Dual Lancers.
Replenishing fresh blood can make you look brand new.
I guess Cheng Zhigao himself knows that the way the Guizhou Army used to work will not work.
Turn around.
Looking to the west.
The map shows that there are many radio station signs there.
Over there is the National Navy Headquarters. There is also the Lightning School. Actually, it is torpedoes.
Walk slowly westward.
Include the entire naval command within the map.
No red dots found.
It's not worth being happy about. Instead, it's a bit depressing.
This shows that the Japanese invaders did not pay attention to the national navy at all. They did not bother to send spies to infiltrate.
It is enough to bribe a few traitors and obtain some basic information.
In fact, the combat effectiveness of the national navy is really weak. It is not surprising that it is ignored.
Continue walking west.
There is a fishing village over there.
Suddenly a radio station logo flashed on the edge of the map.
Huh?
Radio logo?
Zhang Yong was surprised.
unexpected.
There is actually a radio station sign in a fishing village?
A hidden spy? No. There are no red dots.
Keep walking forward and find a lot of weapon symbols and more than twenty white spots.
They seem to be in a relatively independent area.
There are weapons and radios. There is definitely a problem.
"Qin Lishan."
"arrive."
"Ready to fight."
"yes."
Qin Lishan made arrangements immediately.
They were the third group to arrive at Jiangyin Fortress. They were also an action group.
The previous bald thugs have all gone to rest. Now Qin Lishan takes over.
Over there, Cheng Zhigao saw it and ran up quickly.
"Special Commissioner, is there something going on?"
"The twenty or so people in front have weapons and radios."
"Why don't you come with me and take a look?"
"How is the combat effectiveness of your divisional security company?"
"generally."
"Okay, bring your division headquarters guards here. Let me take a look."
"yes."
Cheng Zhigao hurriedly sent the order.
Soon, the division headquarters security company of the 103rd Division gathered.
Zhang Yong observed silently. They were pretty decent. They were all young people and they didn't look like heavy smokers.
It is estimated that they are the face of the 103rd Division and may also be its only combat capability.
At that time, the real combat effectiveness of many local warlords' troops was just this little. If they were defeated, the warlords themselves would collapse.
Those who are said to be thousands or tens of thousands of people are just here to make a living. The real elites are only a few around the warlords.
The guards are even equipped with flower traps.
Just in time, distribute the ammunition that was delivered. This is the first time that there is so much ammunition.
"action!"
Zhang Yong waved his hand and ordered an assault.
All enemies are in relatively independent areas and are just surrounded.
It's a fishing village by the river. There are no strong fortifications. Therefore, it doesn't matter if you attack by force. Direct fire suppression, and then sniper roll call.
"superior!"
"superior!"
Cheng Zhigao also led the guards to kill them.
He is the division chief of staff, but he feels like he is doing the job of a suicide captain, leading the charge.
He's a tough guy.
Zhang Yong did not stop him either.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
"Ta-ta-ta..."
Soon, gunshots rang out.
Zhang Yong stood behind and raised his telescope to observe.
Also, keep an eye out for the white dots and blue dots on the map. There's also the white dot for the 103rd Division.
Melee.
Interlaced canine teeth.
I don’t know who is hitting whom…
"boom……"
"boom……"
All kinds of explosions.
There are wooden-handled grenades and American-made pineapple grenades.
three minutes……
five minutes……
ten minutes……
Finally, the gunfire gradually stopped.
The battle is nearing its end.
I hope my own casualties will not be too great. The same goes for the 103rd Division.
finally……
The gunfire stopped completely.
Bronze Arhat hurriedly came to report.
"Commissioner, the battle is over. Seventeen enemies were killed and seven were captured."
"What are our own casualties?"
"Two brothers were slightly injured. No serious injuries. Someone in the 103rd Division was seriously injured."
"good."
Only then did Zhang Yong feel relieved.
Go to the front to observe the fighting situation. The ground is in a mess.
I saw many corpses of killed enemies.
Not Japanese invaders. Who could they be? Gangsters? Pirates?
It still doesn’t feel like it…
Fortunately, only two of my brothers were slightly injured. They can handle it themselves. The 103rd Division is...
Someone was seriously injured.
It was Cheng Zhigao. He was shot in the abdomen by a bullet.
I don't know if it hit a vital point. However, I will definitely have to undergo surgery to remove the bullet.
Fortunately, Jiangyin Fortress has its own medical center. You can perform this kind of bullet removal surgery yourself. However, if it hurts a vital part, you have to send it to Jinling or Shanghai.
Came to Cheng Zhigao.
Cheng Zhigao clutched his lower abdomen and was seriously injured and could not get out of the line of fire.
"You can't die." Zhang Yong said slowly.
"That's it." Cheng Zhigao held his breath. But after he started speaking, his strength disappeared.
At this time, Qin Lishan hurried over.
He was holding a large sack in his hand. It was bulging and heavy.
