I have been separated from Yan Guangkun for a long time.
Since the other party was rescued last time, the other party has never appeared again.
Zhang Yong had not seen him before in Xi'an.
Must be new here.
"You guys talk first. I'll go out for a while."
Zhang Yong walked out of the 107th Division.
Silently catching up with Yan Guangkun.
I found that the other party was not walking very fast. He was also walking towards a remote place.
Appeared quietly from behind the corner.
Yan Guangkun nodded when he saw it was him. He seemed to have known he was coming.
"You came to see me?"
"Come with me!"
"good."
Zhang Yong followed Yan Guangkun.
The opponent has no weapons. He himself is a pile of weapons. Of course he is not afraid.
Besides, the Red Party does not engage in assassinations. There is no need to be overly nervous.
At least, Yan Guangkun had no reason to attack him.
It is rare to kill your savior in reverse.
[Favorability 95]
The instructions are very friendly.
Go all the way along the alley. Several yellow dots will appear on the edge of the map.
There are no weapons. It means safety.
When I came near the yellow dots, I found a small yard.
There is an adobe wall outside. Strings of red peppers hang on the wall. They are bright red and very tempting.
It's a pity that Zhang Yong can't eat spicy food himself. He can only watch. Otherwise, he would definitely have to take a lot of it.
Go in.
Someone inside greeted me warmly.
He is a middle-aged man. He is wearing casual clothes, but he feels like he should be wearing military uniform.
The other yellow dots did not appear. It was judged to be a warning and blocked the line of sight.
It’s just that Zhang Yong cannot be seen from the other yellow dots.
The other party is very careful.
Worried about causing trouble for Zhang Yong.
Even with their own comrades, they are highly confidential.
After all, Chiang Kai-shek is not easy to fool.
Frankly speaking, Chiang Kai-shek also has real abilities. Otherwise, he would not be where he is today.
The reason why he failed was because he met someone stronger than him. The situation dictated it.
Look at other people, they all have crotch extensions better than him.
"Director Zhan, Shaolong is here." Yan Guangkun introduced him enthusiastically.
Then he said to Zhang Yong: "This is Comrade Zhan Zhaogang. He works at the headquarters of the Northwest Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. He is one of our representatives."
"Hello." Zhang Yong stretched out his hand and shook hands with the other party.
Be sure that the other person is from the military.
The calluses on the palms are very thick.
"I'll take the liberty of calling you Shaolong. Just call me Lao Zhan."
"Okay. Lao Zhan."
"Let's go in and talk."
"please."
Zhang Yong nodded.
Yan Guangkun is on guard outside.
Zhan Zhaogang and Zhang Yong entered a small house with a table and four stools.
The long bench has local characteristics.
"Please take a seat."
"good."
"Guang Kun said he would definitely invite you. I didn't expect you to come so soon."
"Is something wrong?"
"After extensive mobilization, the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces Headquarters has now recruited approximately 6,000 new recruits..."
"Give me?"
"Yes."
"Don't you want it yourself?"
"Perhaps, you need it more. Don't you?"
"really."
Zhang Yong nodded.
I believe they already know some plans.
There are so many yellow spots in the Presidential Palace. You should know everything you should know and what you shouldn't know.
"We have been looking forward to this day for a long time."
"The war in the future may be very difficult. The war situation may be desperate."
"despair?"
"Yes."
Zhang Yong didn't go into too much detail.
At this moment, the anti-Japanese wave is rising and people's hearts are ready.
However, all Chinese people, including Red, did not expect that the War of Resistance would be so difficult to fight.
No one could have imagined that the Japanese invaders would be so difficult to eliminate.
Before fighting in person, I had no clear idea of the combat effectiveness of the Japanese invaders.
It wasn't until the two sides fought fiercely that they suddenly discovered that the Japanese invaders were very difficult to defeat. It was very difficult for five of them to fight one by one. The losses to themselves were very high.
Songhu in the south and Pingxingguan in the north both suffered heavy casualties.
Then the Japanese invaders pushed forward all the way.
In just over a year, they occupied almost all of China's most fertile lands.
The situation is indeed extremely desperate.
There are lost teachers and lost ground everywhere.
All this was something no one expected before the war started.
Think about how difficult it might be to get started.
But I didn't expect it to be so bad.
"Then I would be disrespectful."
Zhang Yong happily accepted.
He really needs soldiers. He needs to flesh out the structure.
Three divisions cannot be empty. They must be fully staffed. It is best to be super-staffed. The more, the better.
The Songhu battlefield is a bottomless pit. Once you fall in, you don't know when you can get out. Therefore, the more complete the preparations, the better.
"I hope you will be victorious."
"to your regards."
"Specific destination..."
"I want to take three divisions to the south. The 107th Division, the 108th Division, the 112th Division, and the 67th Army Headquarters. Commander Wu Keren."
"Okay. The new recruits will be assigned to each division one after another tomorrow."
"Thanks."
"Serious words. This is what we should do."
"Tomorrow, you send people to Shiliting, outside the east city, and I have something for you."
"Then I'll arrange for Guang Kun to go. His current name is Qin Ling."
"Okay. Then I'll take my leave."
"please."
"please."
Zhan Zhaogang sent Zhang Yong out.
Yan Guangkun left with Zhang Yong.
shake hands.
Farewell.
it is more than words.
Zhang Yong returned to the 108th Division headquarters. Wu Keren had already left.
The division headquarters is already formulating a departure plan.
According to the arrangements of the Ministry of Military Affairs, the 67th Army must travel lightly and on foot through Shangluo Mountain to Shiyan and Xiangyang.
Then take a boat from Xiangyang to Hankou. Then take a boat from Hankou to Jinling. Then from Jinling to Suzhou.
Why not go to Luoyang?
Because Tang Enbo's troops are there, it's not suitable for an encounter.
In addition, there are other Northeastern Army units going to Luoyang.
However, walking across Shangluo Mountain is not an easy task.
The roads at that time were very bad. There were almost no hard roads. They were all dirt roads, full of potholes and bumpy.
If it is summer and the road is washed away by flash floods, it will be even more troublesome.
It is estimated that it will take a month to walk to Xiangyang!
Then shipping, and finally arriving in Suzhou, may take another half a month.
Very waste of time.
Just being on the road takes more than a month.
If the front line needed emergency reinforcements, the day lilies would have been cold long ago.
In fact, the Battle of Songhu was like this.
The troops prepared on the front line were insufficient. It was discovered that reinforcements were needed, so troops were mobilized in an emergency.
As a result, reinforcements were all mobilized from far behind. They included the Sichuan Army, the Guangxi Army, the Yunnan Army, etc. It took more than a month just to travel.
The Japanese reinforcements had relatively fast shipping and could arrive in ten days.
It is this time difference that prevents the national army from concentrating its superior strength. The battle becomes a war of attrition and a tactic of refueling.
The Japanese invaders landed at Jinshanwei, and the Chinese army did not have any extra troops to mobilize for defense.
On paper, 700,000 troops were dispatched, but in fact, the number of troops on the front line was at most 200,000 to 300,000. The number was almost one to one with the Japanese frontline troops.
How can one remain undefeated?
However, there is nothing we can do about it.
This is the situation. As far as the current environment is concerned, no one can solve it.
It was impossible for Chiang Kai-shek to mobilize a large number of Sichuan, Gui, and Yunnan troops around Jinling at this time. Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to sleep at night.
It is impossible for the Sichuan Army, the Guangxi Army, and the Yunnan Army to actively mobilize when there is no real fight and the survival of the nation is in danger.
In my memory, it was already September when regular Sichuan troops left Sichuan in large numbers to reinforce the front line.
At that time, the Battle of Songhu was completely ruined. By the time the Sichuan army arrived, the Battle of Songhu was almost over.
It's difficult...
An unsolvable situation.
Even if you are a time traveler. Even if you have a little power.
"Mr. Jin."
"arrive."
"New recruits will arrive tomorrow."
"yes."
"It takes at least half a month to train to avoid getting separated during the march."
"yes."
"Pay attention to the methods of education. Don't be too cruel."
"yes."
"But we can't be too civilized."
"yes."
Jin Jiuchuan was confused.
Commissioner, what do you mean? Both and at the same time?
It can't be too cruel, but it can't be too civilized. What is the standard? Can you make it clearer?
"In short, take everyone to their destination. Do you understand?"
"clear."
Jin Jiuchuan breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out that the commissioner was worried about deserters! No wonder.
This kind of long-distance march is the most likely place for deserters. The mountains are high and the forests are dense, so you can hide wherever you want.
"As long as you know."
Zhang Yong can't explain it in too much detail because he doesn't understand.
The PLA of later generations relied on ideology to work. But what did the national army rely on? He really didn't know.
He is just scratching the surface right now, and all he does is superficial work. He is only responsible for intelligence, ammunition, and coordination. He is really unable to do anything else. He must leave it to others.
He was not qualified to advise the officers below on how to manage and direct the battle.
"Sun Dexi!"
"arrive!"
"Go back to the military headquarters!"
"yes."
Zhang Yong led the cavalry company back to the 67th Army Headquarters.
Three divisions must have a centralized command organization. The ready-made one is the 67th Army Headquarters.
The 112th Division will also be temporarily included in the 67th Army. This will be no problem.
Send the report to the Attendant's Office. The Attendant's Office will naturally make arrangements. He Zhang Yong can directly supervise the 67th Army.
From now on, I will issue orders directly to the 67th Army Headquarters.
"Recruit?"
"right."
"More than six thousand?"
"right."
Zhang Yong briefly informed the Northwest Anti-Resistance Alliance of its decision.
The official notification has not arrived yet. But it should be soon.
Sure enough, the next morning, the 67th Military Headquarters received an order from the Northwest Resistance Alliance Headquarters.
A total of 6,500 recruits, all replenishing the 67th Army.
Wu Keren took people to receive it.
Zhang Yong led the cavalry company to Shili Pavilion outside the east city.
Yan Guangkun had already arrived early.
There are also temporary transportation teams deployed.
"Qinling." Zhang Yong called the other party by his pseudonym.
"Mr. Commissioner." Yan Guangkun hid his identity in front of outsiders.
"Hold on."
"good."
Soon after, a large number of trucks arrived.
The top of the cart was piled with ammunition boxes.
Yan Guangkun:???
Zhang Yong calmed down and said, "It's a trivial matter, but it's not respectful."
"This is..." Yan Guangkun was surprised.
"Don't ask anything. Don't say anything. Asking is what you gain from suppressing bandits."
"ah……"
"You can deal with it after I leave."
"good."
Yan Guangkun agreed.
Zhang Yong stepped forward to receive it. The tool man left immediately.
"Walk!"
Zhang Yong waved his hand.
He left with the cavalry company and disappeared without a trace.
"this……"
Yan Guangkun looked at the carts in confusion.
It felt a bit unreal. I thought I was seeing something wrong. I stepped forward and checked carefully to make sure I saw it correctly.
The carts are all filled with weapons and ammunition.
There are brand new horse four-ring rifles.
There are various types of bullets.
There are also some grenades.
"Did Zhang Shaolong empty an ammunition depot?"
Yan Guangkun couldn't help but be secretly suspicious.
Then I quietly reminded myself: Don’t say anything. Don’t think of anything.
It was seized from bandits. It has nothing to do with anyone.
Especially it has nothing to do with Zhang Yong.
"Someone is coming!"
"Pull away!"
"Pull away!"
…
Return to the 67th Army Headquarters.
Review new recruits with Wu Keren and screen out spies.
Found no spies.
Later, they went to three divisions to check separately, but no more Japanese spies were found.
It seems that the top espionage officials may have felt that placing spies among ordinary soldiers was no longer useful, so they simply gave up.
That's fine. You don't waste time. There's still no money left.
Oh, so busy...
So much to do...
Many days passed in a daze.
This morning, before I got up, a staff officer came in a hurry.
"Report to the Commissioner! Urgent call from the Attendant's Office!"
"Servant's room?"
Zhang Yong got up.
Received the telegraph newspaper.
I found three words on it: Urgent! Standby!
Confuse.
what's the situation?
What does it mean to be urgent? But to be on call?
What happened?
Look at the yellowed calendar hanging on the wall.
April 26, 1937. It seems like nothing important in history!
Subconsciously look at the world map.
There seems to be no news worth paying attention to. The world is very quiet.
It's unclear what the war situation is like in Spain.
stand up.
Wash.
Waiting for further notification.
As a result, there were no new telegrams from the chamber.
Confuse.
Suddenly another staff officer arrived.
"Report Commissioner! The Gendarmerie Headquarters is calling you!"
"knew."
Zhang Yong nodded.
Gu Bafeng probably has something urgent.
But still doubtful.
What would happen on such a normal day?
Come to the military headquarters.
Wu Keren is not here. He went to inspect the troops.
Commander Wu has been very diligent recently and worked very hard to rectify and train the troops.
I wouldn't say he's outstanding, but he's still competent.
The same goes for the other three division commanders. They are all veteran soldiers and relatively old-fashioned. But their professional skills should be okay.
Pick up the phone.
"It's me, Zhang Yong."
"Shaolong, come here for a moment. It's confidential."
"good."
Zhang Yong put down the microphone.
If you can't say anything on the phone, it must be a big deal.
Even this matter was so confidential that it could not be discussed outside the military police headquarters. Therefore, he had to go to the military police.
Get out of the military headquarters.
"Sun Dexi!"
"arrive!"
"Assemble the cavalry company! Armed! Follow me!"
"yes."
Sun Dexi suddenly felt energetic.
As soon as I heard this, I wanted to deal with the Japanese invaders!
Naturally, his eyes were shining with excitement.
Immediately send an order to bring all the guys, including two 60mm mortars!
Why do cavalry companies carry mortars?
Because Zhang Yong wants to use it.
He likes to hit people with cannons. Anyway, there are unlimited cannonballs.
It is also a waste to stay in the infantry team at present. It is better to accompany the cavalry and fire directly when necessary.
I'm really bad at shooting. But I have a cannon!
If the accuracy is not enough, then use power! If ten shots can't kill you, then use a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand...
The cavalry company has horses and dismantled the mortar. It is actually very easy to carry.
"Set off!"
"yes!"
"Ta-ta-ta..."
"Ta-ta-ta..."
The sound of horse hooves is like thunder.
Rushed to the Xi'an Gendarmerie Headquarters.
Gu Bafeng had already led people to greet him at the door and was running around in circles anxiously.
Yes, something really happened.
Could it be that Chiang Kai-shek was attacked?
No reason...
Boss Dai and Gu Zhenglun are now under personal protection!
Having learned the lesson from last time, these two don’t dare to slack off at all now! They sleep with one eye open...
Chiang Kai-shek didn't even dare to go to dangerous places, so why did something happen?
[Favorability 100+]
[Favorability 100+]
Take a quick look and make sure there is no danger.
Reiner the war horses.
Turn over and dismount.
Gu Bafeng rushed over almost running.
"Go in and talk."
Zhang Yong calmed down instead.
Even when the sky falls, there are tall people who hold it up.
In this era, there are so many great people, what do you need to worry about?
"good."
Enter the Gendarmerie Headquarters.
Enter Gu Bafeng's office and sit down.
"Say it."
"Something happened over there."
"Which way?"
"red."
"What's up?"
"Someone was attacked. Almost killed."
"who?"
"..."
Gu Bafeng said a name.
Zhang Yong was stunned. He suddenly stood up, his eyes widened.
Is there such a thing?
No wonder there was an emergency call in the attendant's room.
It's him!
He was actually attacked! Is this okay?
Now is the most sensitive time for the relationship between the two parties, and any action may be over-interpreted...
"When did this happen?"
"yesterday."
"What happened yesterday, we only found out today?"
"To be precise, we didn't know anything. We only found out after the other side reported it."
"How's it going?"
"Only four people survived. All others were killed."
"Who did it?"
"That's the key. They think we did it."
"and you……"
"I swear to God, absolutely not. How could I do such a thing? Besides, there was no hint or instruction from Shangfeng!"
"Boss Dai's side..."
"They said no. All the people from the Secret Service in the northwest have withdrawn."
"Xu Enzeng?"
"The other side also denied it. They said they have no one in the northwest."
"That……"
Zhang Yong scratched his head.
This matter is really big or small.
The main reason is that the time of occurrence is too sensitive.
The person who was attacked was another famous figure. He was the one he had always wanted to take a photo with!
calm.
calm.
Now that there is a call from the attendant's office, Zhang Yong has taken up this matter.
With his current status, he probably has full authority to handle this matter. The truth of the matter must be found out. At the same time, he must coordinate the relationship with the other side.
"Tell me the situation."
"It was reported from there. They were attacked just after they left their own defense area..."
"That is to say, they were attacked in front of their home?"
"Yes. Less than a hundred miles."
"Within Ganquan County?"
"yes."
"Do we have troops stationed there?"
"It used to be. Then it was withdrawn. It was used as a buffer zone. Neither side had troops stationed."
"bandit?"
"They said they were disguised as bandits..."
"oh……"
Zhang Yong was thoughtful.
Such a serious attack must be very angry over there.
Without thinking, the person who emerged must be directed at the agents from the Fruit Party.
Bandit attack?
Just kidding!
Whose bandit has such accurate information?
They were representatives who came to negotiate. They didn't bring any gold, silver or jewelry. Who would be so idle that bandits would attack?
The only possibility is that someone reported the news and instigated the bandits to take action.
In other words, there is no argument from the Fruit Party's side.
This matter has absolutely nothing to do with insiders. It depends on which level you are at.
Someone arrived in a hurry, holding a telegram.
"Reporting to the specialist, there is an urgent call from the attendant's office for you!"
"Bring it here."
Zhang Yong stood up and took the telegram.
Sure enough, there were only eight words in the telegram:
Full authority to handle.
Be serious and fast.
Yes, Zhang Yong is indeed in big trouble.
In just eight words, he will have work to do in the next two or three months. They will definitely not give up until they find out the truth!
There are too many suspicions on Chiang Kai-shek's side, and it will probably be very uncomfortable if the results are not produced as soon as possible.
The longer the delay is, the more unfavorable public opinion will be to Chiang Kai-shek.
Who told him to like to use such methods?
When something happens, I immediately think of him.
"Call back to the Attendant's Office. Process immediately. Signed Zhang Yong."
"yes."
The officer turned and left.
Gu Bafeng was about to speak, but Zhang Yong reached out to stop him.
"Don't get involved in this matter."
"That……"
"I use people from the Northeast Army."
"All right."
Gu Bafeng was helpless.
He really didn't do this.
but……
well……
The reputation here is indeed not very good.
When something goes wrong, you are the first person that others think of. You have no way to defend yourself.
