The sound of horse hooves was like thunder, and the sky was filled with loess.
The environment of the Loess Plateau in this era was really harsh. There was almost no vegetation.
All the ridges are bare. There is only dry and hardened loess.
From an economic perspective, it has no value.
Therefore, the Japanese Army Air Force later discovered that bombing northern Shaanxi was too much of a loss.
Use aerial bombs costing several hundred to several thousand yen to bomb adobe houses worth less than one yen...
Open the world map.
There are three red dots being tracked.
One is Zhao Si.
Two were Japanese invaders lurking among the bandits.
Now, Zhang Yong is following Nicholas Zhao Si. He should be with the bandit Ban Tianyun.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
"Ta-ta-ta..."
Move forward quickly.
Gradually get closer.
Suddenly I found a white dot in front of me. There was a gun.
I approached quietly and found that it was a Red Army cavalry soldier. Then a yellow dot appeared.
Oh, it's Du Zhangyuan's cavalry company.
Come forward.
Say hello to the other person.
really.
See Minister Chen soon.
"Commissioner Zhang."
"Minister Chen."
"How's your attack going?"
"We also went back to the base area before. We just came back."
"Yeah?"
Zhang Yong looked around.
Oh, indeed. The number of cavalry companies has increased.
It seems that the soldiers have also changed? Many of the cavalry that I saw before are not there.
Most of the cavalry are unfamiliar faces.
"Let's go!"
"good!"
Zhang Yong led his troops forward.
Close to the bandits' lair.
It is definitely the lair of bandit leader Ban Tianyun.
What's rare is that this time we are not hiding in a maze, but in a small mountain village.
However, it is still easy to defend but difficult to attack!
The small mountain village is surrounded by raised ridges. The bandits have set up fortifications on them.
If you want to enter the small mountain village, you must conquer the surrounding ridges.
However, the ridges are all bare and it is difficult to reach them with bare hands, let alone attack with weapons?
Some bandits are also veterans and have very accurate marksmanship.
There is no cover on the bare ridge. You will definitely be shot by bandits one by one.
Look carefully.
I discovered that the bandits actually had machine gun firepower.
Also installed were Czech-style light machine guns. Seven of them were seen, and there are probably more.
There are more than a hundred white spots that enter the monitoring range of the map. It is estimated that there are more outside the map. A conservative estimate is that the number of bandits may be three hundred.
Search for red dots.
For the time being, there is only one Nicholas Zhao Si.
The other Japanese invaders may not be here, or may have already withdrawn.
"The terrain is unfavorable!" Minister Chen frowned.
"It's okay. I have a cannon." Zhang Yong was a bit understated.
The unfavorable terrain is actually a double-edged sword.
Look at what weapons.
If it is a simple rifle, of course it is disadvantageous.
However, if there are mortars, the disadvantage will be the bandits.
The bandit's fortifications are relatively crude, and it might be okay to block bullets. But it's nonsense to block artillery shells.
Ordered the artillery fire.
Then launch.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Two 60mm mortars fired first.
They are lighter. Assumed to be fast.
An experienced player can start shooting within a minute and then shoot quickly.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Then came the 81mm mortar fire.
Its deployment speed is relatively slow, but its shells are powerful and have a long range.
"boom……"
"boom……"
There was an explosion.
A lot of dust was raised on the ridge.
Zhang Yong raised his telescope and observed.
I accidentally discovered that Minister Chen did not have a telescope.
Du Zhangyuan was even less so.
It seems that the Red Army is in short supply of telescopes!
Checking the portable space, I found that there are quite a few telescopes inside.
There are five.
So I took them all out and handed them to Minister Chen.
"this……"
"To the frontline commander of your Red Army."
"this……"
"Now it's cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. If I give you some equipment, you won't suspect that I'm harboring evil intentions, right?"
"Of course not!"
Minister Chen will happily take it.
Zhang Yong has already said this, and if he refuses again, it will be meaningless.
What's more, the Red Army really needs telescopes.
In fact, the Red Army is lacking everything now.
"That's good."
Zhang Yong continued to check the portable space.
I found that there were three more scopes inside. I took them out. They were matched with four horse rings.
So he took them all out and gave them to Du Zhangyuan.
The Red Army cavalry company also captured some horses with four rings before. It was just in time to use them.
"Thanks!"
Du Zhangyuan took it very happily.
This kind of scope is very rare. Of course he was happy.
The Red Army cavalry company does not have heavy weapons and does not have many bullets. It must rely on precise shooting to destroy the enemy.
However, the observation distance of human eyes is limited after all. It is very difficult to aim with the naked eye two hundred meters away. But with a sight, it is completely different.
For some enemies, the sight is completely a dimensionality reduction strike!
"boom……"
"boom……"
The sound of explosions continued.
Zhang Yong held up a telescope to observe and occasionally helped with corrections.
As the shells fell, the bandits' fortifications on the southeast ridge were all destroyed. The bandits all ran away.
Then mortars began to bombard the northwest ridge, also destroying it.
The remaining bandits all retreated towards their lair in the small mountain village. There were no more living people on the ridges on both sides.
Wave your hands.
Continue to move forward with the team.
More and more white spots appear on the edge of the map. They all have guns.
Sure enough, the number of bandits was about 300. But except for Zhao Si, there were no other Japanese invaders.
"boom……"
"boom……"
Continue the artillery bombardment.
The bandits realized something was wrong and tried to fight back.
There is only one way out of this small mountain village. It is the way Zhang Yong came in.
Once the way out is blocked, the people inside can only fight with the beast trapped in it, or climb over the ridges on both sides, and then escape.
"Da da da..."
"Da da da..."
The Czech light machine gun finally got a chance to play.
This light machine gun equipped with a 30-round curved magazine has a somewhat unstable center of gravity.
It is not suitable for holding it up and shooting. It is suitable for shooting when it is placed on the ground. When placed on the ground, there is no problem of center of gravity.
The bandits' counterattack was quickly repulsed.
This is inevitable. How strong can the bandits be in combat?
If there were hidden Japanese invaders among the bandits, that would be a different matter. But they didn't!
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The Red Army soldiers attacked fiercely.
Although the cavalry is dismounted, the infantry is also very capable.
The bandits simply couldn't resist.
Defeated steadily.
Zhang Yong and Minister Chen followed the team.
It's like taking a leisurely stroll.
Fighting is a matter for soldiers.
In such situations, they can just observe.
While walking forward, chatting.
"Commissioner Zhang."
"What?"
"How come you, a high-ranking person, come here to suppress the bandits yourself?"
"Who is in a powerful position?"
"You! You are the Inspector General of the Military and Political Commission, and there are only nine of them in the country!"
"Oh. Can't the commissioner come to suppress the bandits?"
"Of course not."
"My specialty is catching Japanese spies. What I can do is catch Japanese spies. I am not good at other things."
Zhang Yong replied calmly.
It is estimated that someone entrusted Minister Chen to chat with him.
Indeed, as an inspector, he led two companies of cavalry all day long to fight against the bandits. It seemed that he was overqualified and overqualified.
But he, Zhang Yong, is happy with it.
There are too many political factors involved in major national affairs.
Even talented people like Director He and Director Lin dare not say that they can navigate the officialdom with ease.
If there is no system, Zhang Yong is nothing!
But the system cannot handle politics and officialdom!
so……
Keep a respectful distance.
Can't avoid it.
It's actually quite good to be an idler, travel around, and "help the poor" when you have the opportunity.
"boom……"
"boom……"
Mortar bombardments continued.
But the gunshots gradually became less frequent.
Zhang Yong raised his telescope and found that most of the bandits had put down their weapons.
Oh, they're surrendering to a Red Army cavalry company.
The bandits ran away when they encountered the Shaanxi Army and the Northeast Army. They surrendered when they encountered the Red Army.
"Someone is coming!"
"arrive!"
"Notify Company Commander Chao and Company Commander Sun that all our people will withdraw."
"yes."
The order was issued quickly.
Chao Lichun and Sun Dexi each withdrew with their cavalry companies.
The sound of gunfire gradually stopped.
"Commissioner."
"Commissioner."
Chao Lichun and Sun Dexi came to Zhang Yong.
Zhang Yong ordered them to continue to withdraw and give passage and space to the Red Army soldiers.
The road into the bandit's lair is very narrow. If there are too many people, there will be no room for them.
"yes!"
"yes!"
The two of them evacuated with their teams.
The Red Army soldiers from behind could finally come in in a steady stream.
"Minister Chen."
"Commissioner, please speak."
"The bandits' lair will be left to you."
"We agreed before..."
"I'm in a hurry."
"That……"
"I still have to destroy the bandit Batianliang. After destroying Batianliang, I may leave northern Shaanxi. The remaining work of suppressing bandits will be left to you."
"I would like to ask, what are the Commissioner's recent work arrangements? Are you going back to Jinling?"
"Maybe I'm going to Peking."
"Beiping?"
"Yes. The 29th Army has asked me to supervise military affairs. I will go there in a while."
"oh……"
Minister Chen was thoughtful.
Zhang Yong then left and secretly released some ammunition.
When Red Army soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, they would find these ammunition and take them away as trophies.
Because of the failure of the West Route Army, the Red Army at this moment is actually very weak. Even tens of thousands of rounds of bullets are like dew after a long drought for them.
"Walk!"
Evacuate quickly with your team.
Continue to look for the bandit Ba Tianliang and find it. There are no red dots.
It seems that Naosaburo Okabe has retreated all his squads. This old devil is quite shrewd. He immediately retreated when he realized something was wrong.
Now that Zhang Yong has arrived in northern Shaanxi, the Japanese invaders will definitely have nothing to gain, so they retreat decisively.
Only Nicholas Zhao Si, who pretended to be a salesman, has not left yet.
Zhang Yong did not arrest Zhao Si, nor did he reveal his identity. Maybe it will be useful in the future.
"boom……"
"boom……"
Start attacking.
After a fierce battle, most of the bandits were eliminated.
A small number of bandits escaped, possibly including the bandit leader Ba Tianliang, but they were no longer a threat.
Without the covert help of the Japanese invaders, the bandits' combat effectiveness is just that. At most, it is a little higher than Zhan Wu Zha. The Red Army will destroy them in the future.
Raid the bandits' lair.
The capture was a huge disappointment.
Not much money.
trial.
I learned that all valuable items had been taken away.
"Who took it away?"
"The third master and the fifth master."
"Are they new here?"
"Yes. They are all new members."
"How many people were there when they came?"
"More than twenty."
"oh."
Zhang Yong understood.
The Japanese invaders had indeed completely retreated.
All squads have been withdrawn.
This retreat should have left Guanzhong. Along the way, they took away valuable belongings.
what to do?
Catch up?
Forget it. The cost is too high. Not worth it.
Zhang Yong's time is not so cheap yet.
Catching Japanese spies is his forte.
Since there are no more spies among the bandits, what else is he going to do?
There are not enough bandits left to fill the Red Army's teeth.
The current Red Army needs jungle development.
retreat.
Lead the team back to Xi'an City.
As soon as we entered the city, patrolling military police hurriedly arrived.
"Report!"
"explain."
"Commissioner, please call back from the attendant's office."
"good."
Zhang Yong looked around.
I discovered that the Northwest Military and Administrative Office is nearby.
So I led the team there and wanted to make a phone call.
But I was unfortunately told that the phone had been disconnected and the PCPD had stopped using it.
"Sir Hu doesn't work here?"
"Chief Hu doesn't like it here. His headquarters is in Baqiao."
"oh."
Zhang Yong had no choice but to find another place.
Finally, we returned to the military police headquarters. Gu Bafeng came out to greet us.
"Fortunately you came early."
"What? Your phone here is also going to be disconnected?"
"Yes."
"The Sichuan Army has agreed?"
"Yes. They have agreed to allow our regiment to enter Chengdu."
"Oh. This is a good thing."
Zhang Yong nodded without asking for details.
This kind of mediation and negotiation is actually very nerve-wracking. Director He is already in the Mediterranean.
Come to Gu Bafeng's office.
Gu Bafeng ordered the switchboard to transfer to the attendant's room. Then he exited and stood guard outside the door.
After a few minutes, the call was finally connected.
"Hello……"
"Director Lin. I am Zhang Yong."
"Shaolong, I'm looking for you."
"you say."
"There is something..."
"Director Lin, please speak directly if you have something to say. I am dull and you are beating around the bush. I am worried that I will get it wrong."
"It's over in Peiping. The commissioner asked me to ask what you mean."
"Going to Peiping to supervise military affairs? I'll go."
"Shaolong, this is not an order. If you have concerns, it is normal..."
"I'll go."
"The current situation in Peiping..."
"I want to transport all the wealth in Peiping away as soon as possible."
"Um?"
"Director Lin, I think the committee is also very clear. Once the Japanese invaders launch a large-scale attack in Pingjin, the 29th Army will not be able to resist it. The national army has no elites in North China. There is no time for reinforcements. Therefore, the fall of Pingjin is
Inevitable."
"well……"
"They want me to supervise military affairs, but there is no sincerity there. But I want to go. After I go, I will find a way to airlift all the wealth in Peiping to Jinling. No matter what, it cannot fall into the hands of the Japanese invaders."
"Hey, Shaolong, your idea is great! None of us thought of it!"
"Yeah?"
"Hey, this is a good idea. It's really good."
"oh……"
Zhang Yong immediately kept a low profile.
I thought to myself, it’s not like you didn’t expect this.
You have thought of it, but there is no way to do it.
Because none of you have the great ability to absorb wealth from the whirlpool in Peiping.
But I, Zhang Yong, can!
I have some special abilities. And airplanes.
Just drag your wealth to Nanyuan Airport and put it on the plane and take it away.
Then land in Jinling.
Why is Director Lin so happy?
Of course, this is because after the wealth in Peiping is moved out, everyone will have a share.
How many ancient dynasties was Peiping the capital of?
The wealth inside is countless!
"Wait a minute. I'll report to the committee immediately. Don't go away. Don't go away!"
"OK."
Zhang Yong held the microphone.
I thought to myself, could someone like Jiang be nearby?
I thought it would take a few minutes, but within a minute, Director Lin came back.
"Shaolong, the committee said it's very good. I want you to go all out."
"yes!"
"If you need any assistance, the attendant's office will be responsible for making arrangements."
"Thanks."
Zhang Yong had no worries in his heart.
Of course he knew that Jiang would say it was very good. Very good.
Moving the wealth from Peiping to Jinling would be equivalent to falling into Jiang's pocket.
Who can be unhappy?
Of course, we will provide full assistance. We will give you whatever you want.
In fact, I can't give you anything.
Because the government is in North China, there really is no direct lineage.
The national army in North China was all in name only, and they were a bunch of bad guys. Old Chiang Kai-shek despised them.
Sun Dianying...
Three friends...
Zhu Huaibing...
Which one is not junk?
Therefore, Jinling no longer has any hope for Pingjin.
The main force of the direct lineage is concentrated in the Central Plains or Jiangnan.
Pingjin is left to fend for itself.
"Shaolong, if you have any requests, I will personally negotiate with Beiping."
"Just one. I need to take over the defense of Nanyuan Airport. Nanyuan Airport must be handed over to the Fourth Air Police Regiment to be responsible for security."
"Shaolong, your request is a bit small..."
"If you mention it too much, the other party won't agree. Just don't mention it at all. Just do it, don't say it."
"Okay. I'll talk to the other side. The other side must agree to this condition. Otherwise, there's no need to talk about anything."
"good."
"If you have any other ideas or requests, please call at any time. I will arrange it immediately."
"good."
Zhang Yong said a few polite words.
Then hang up the phone.
There are no other ideas or requirements.
I don’t bother to mention the military deployment, because it’s basically a dead end game.
No matter how you fight, it will be a dead end. Nothing will change.
The end result is retreat.
To be honest, if it were Zhang Yong who was in charge, he might have ordered a retreat early.
If you fight head-on with the Japanese invaders in the plains, you will only die in vain.
Saving land and losing people is meaningless.
Only when people lose their land can there be hope.
It wasn't Zhang Yong who said it. It was said by a great man. Facts have proved that it is extremely correct.
From now on, Nanyuan Airport will be his base.
In the era before radar, as long as the airport was not completely destroyed, it was a passage.
Of course, it doesn't matter if the airport is completely destroyed.
Zhang Yong believes that it is easy to evacuate the Pingjin area by relying on the system's "navigation" function.
I can't beat you, can I still run?
If I encounter the main force of the Japanese invaders, I will hide. If I encounter the small group of Japanese invaders, I will eat them.
It will be safe as long as you retreat to the mountains.
Mentougou in the west of Peiping is a mountainous area. If you retreat to Mentougou, you will enter the mountainous area.
The distance is about thirty kilometers.
If you go quickly, you can get there in half a day.
I'm talking about walking.
If we evacuate westward from Wanping City and enter the mountainous area, it only takes about fifteen kilometers. The time will be even shorter.
In theory, retreat is not a problem.
After withdrawing from Pingjin, how to gather troops, how to find opportunities to counterattack, how to establish base areas, how to fight behind enemy lines...
However, that is a matter for the Red Party.
The Red Party troops will soon enter the Ping-Tianjin area and establish a base in North China to fill the vacuum area left after the retreat of the national army.
The Japanese will soon realize that they are trapped in the quagmire of war.
It is bled little by little and then dries up.
Go out.
"Shaolong, do you really want to go to Peking?"
"Yes."
"It's very dangerous over there..."
"I'm going to take away the wealth from Peiping."
"oh?"
Gu Bafeng's eyes immediately lit up.
This angle is possible!
"Then I..."
“Go to Chengdu!”
"All right!"
"Goodbye."
Zhang Yong led the team back to Xiguan Airport.
While galloping on horseback, a package plan vaguely emerged.
Military target?
Economic goals?
It seems that in the future, I can specifically attack the economic goals of the Japanese invaders.
You can order Cao Mengqi to lead a special force to attack the Japanese invaders' factories, mines, etc., so that the Japanese invaders cannot generate economic benefits.
There is also air force bombing. You can choose the economic target of the Japanese invaders.
The Japanese invaders' factories and mines have weak protection capabilities and are less difficult to bomb. Each bomb will be accurate.
In a word, it means that the Japanese invaders have no money to use.
A war economy cannot only have inputs but no output. It must have a balanced balance of payments.
If there is a serious imbalance between income and consumption and one cannot make ends meet, the final result will be a complete collapse of the Japanese invaders' economy.
The Japanese navy suffered such heavy losses that they could never effectively replenish them because the rear economy was in ruins. They had no money and no resources.
Even if there are so many shipyards, they can only remain empty.
The Japanese invaders spent 10,000 yuan to occupy China, but the income was less than 100 yuan. From now on, they will have to invest thousands of yuan in maintenance every year. Who can afford it financially?
In fact, by 1945, some of the Japanese invaders stationed in Shandong Province were almost eating dirt.
In C&C, if the enemy's ore refinery is blown up, the enemy is basically doomed.
