Yue Weihan slowly walked down the gangway, surrounded by senior generals including Deng Gong, Wei Lihuang, Huang Jie and Zuo Zong. Liu Yi, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly led the senior generals of the 3rd Group Army to come forward to pay tribute.
As usual, we took a group photo at the airport, and Yue Weihan gave a few words of encouragement to the commanders of each division one by one.
Just after greetings were exchanged, a communications staff member hurriedly came to greet him.
The communications staff officer stood up to Liu Yi and handed the telegram in his hand. Liu Yi took the telegram and read it in a hurry, and his expression suddenly changed.
Yue Weihan frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Chi Chengfeng got into trouble again. He wiped out Wang Qingwei, his wife, and Li Shiqun."
"Purge?" Yue Weihan was confused when he heard this, and Deng Gong, Wei Lihuang, Huang Jie and Mr. Zuo were also confused.
Liu Yi bit back and told the whole story about the torture and torture, and then defended Chi Chengfeng and said: "Chief Commander, it is indeed a bit reckless to say that Chi Chengfeng publicly executed the traitor without a public trial, and his method was also a bit cruel, but
Considering the crimes committed by Wang, his wife, and Li Shiqun, it is not an exaggeration to be executed in Ling Chi, so..."
"So what?" Yue Weihan interrupted coldly, "You just know how to excuse your subordinates."
"Old Liu is not entirely excusing Lao Chi." Deng Gong next to him also finished reading the telegram and continued, "At least in terms of effect, this has a great deterrent effect on traitors. Lao Chi's scrubbing
'After the news about Wang and his wife and Li Shiqun spread, Chen Gongbo, Zhou Fohai from Shanghai, and Qi Xieyuan from Peking immediately committed suicide by taking poison."
"What, committed suicide? It's an advantage for them!" After that, Yue Weihan said to Liu Yi, "Chi Chengfeng executed the traitor without a public trial and without asking his superiors for instructions. He cannot escape the responsibility for his crime. In this way, he will be punished in the kitchen for ten months.
The marching cauldron!”
"Yes." How could Liu Yi not hear Yue Weihan's love for Chi Chengfeng? He immediately agreed.
Yue Weihan indeed cherished Chi Chengfeng, a strong man who could both fight and cause trouble. Although he had been dismissed from all positions in the army and demoted to a top soldier because of the massacre of his compatriots, he still retained the rank of major general.
After purging the traitors and being demoted to the kitchen to carry the burden of the march, he still did not lose the rank of major general. This gave Chi Chengfeng the opportunity to think again.
Yue Weihan then took Deng Gong and others to inspect Taipei. Taiwan's geographical location is extremely important. In the subsequent strategic counterattack, Taiwan will serve as a military base. Yue Weihan also plans to build Taiwan into a naval base for China.
In the future, the Chinese navy will first be stationed in Taiwan.
More than 20 days later, Baoshan County.
Chi Chengfeng, carrying a marching cauldron on his back, was standing under the ruins of the wall to comfort the souls of Yao Changqing and other deceased heroes: "Barracks, have you seen it? Shanghai has really been liberated! How did the little devils snatch it away back then? Today we are here again
Why did you get the camp seat back? You don’t know. Now our Baoshan Camp is so awesome. We have expanded it into a field army, with almost two million people, hehe."
"It won't be long before Nanjing is liberated. Next, our Baoshan Battalion will go north to liberate Peiping!"
"When Peiping is recovered, it's time to go abroad and counterattack the Japanese mainland. The slutty little Japan has done a lot of bad things on the ground in China. When they invade the Japanese islands in the future, I want them to look good, as the old saying goes.
Well, tooth for tooth, eye for eye, blood debt must be repaid with blood, huh!"
"Oh, the camp, it's a pity that you can't see it..."
"Yingzuo, if you had survived until now, you should have hired a first-level general to work for you. You don't know, Cao Xinglong is already a lieutenant general now. Damn it, this bastard actually got ahead of me.
I went, but I can’t blame the president for this. Who made me, Lao Chi, so ruthless as to kill thousands of our compatriots, but I really didn’t mean to do it, alas.”
"There are not many old brothers left who fought together from Baoshan County, but it's okay. With them there to pay for your camp, you won't be alone. In a few decades, we, Lao Chi, will
, Cao Xinglong and Lao Niu, the boss and the others will come to meet you sooner or later, and then we can all have a good gathering, haha."
After talking nonsense, Chi Chengfeng poured three glasses of water and wine under the ruins, then turned around and got in the car and drove away.
Early tomorrow morning, the 33rd Division will embark on the journey again. This time, the 33rd Division's mission is to go north to attack Tanggu, and then directly attack Tianjin and Peiping from Tanggu! As for the battle to capture Nanjing, it has nothing to do with the 33rd Division, and it even has nothing to do with it.
The entire fourth field does not have much to do with it. That is something that the second field and General Ye Ting should consider.
The moment he stepped on the car door, Chi Chengfeng still felt warm in his heart. He thought that despite the fact that the manager was cruel to him on the surface and punished him extremely harshly, he still cherished him in his heart. However, he just gave him a big blow.
, and immediately gave another sweet date, the 33rd Division became the vanguard force heading north to attack Tianjin and Peiping.
The night of September 29, the 32nd year of the Republic of China (1943).
After more than 20 days of fierce fighting, the more than 60,000 Japanese soldiers entrenched in urban Shanghai were basically wiped out. The remaining Japanese soldiers of less than two regiments retreated hastily along the Shanghai-Nanjing Highway, and then met with reinforcements from the south near Kunshan.
The three Japanese divisions merged and immediately began to build a defensive line, preparing to defend to the death. By now, the little Japanese had no energy to counterattack.
On September 30, Shanghai was completely restored, the news spread, and the whole country was in an uproar!
The next day, Xinhua Daily, Shenbao, Ta Kung Pao and other newspapers reported it on the front page. Chairman Mao, who was far away in Xi'an, also personally wrote an impassioned newsletter, which was broadcast to the world through the Central News Agency.
Immediately, unprecedented scale victory parades broke out in major cities such as Shanghai, Kunming, Chongqing, Xi'an, and Wuhan.
President Roosevelt on the other side of the ocean also sent a telegram despite his busy schedule to congratulate the Chinese military and civilians on their initial victory.
By the way, Roosevelt is having a very difficult time now. Although the Allies have completed the third troop increase in the Balkans, the Messerschmitt ME-262 jet fighter that has just been put into service by the Luftwaffe is showing its prowess in air combat. It is completely
Suppressed the US Air Force Mustang fighter and the British Royal Air Force Spitfire fighter.
In front of jet fighters, the Mustang fighter suddenly pales in comparison.
Immediately afterwards, two me-262 jet fighter squadrons severely damaged the Allied bomber group in Germany. All 36 B-24 Liberator bombers that went to bomb Munich were destroyed, and none returned! The news spread, and the Allies
There was an uproar within the military, and many US military pilots openly refused to carry out bombing missions.
If it weren't for the fact that the Me-262 jet fighter had just entered service and the Luftwaffe did not have a large amount of equipment, I am afraid that the air superiority in the European battlefield would have been lost immediately.
Fortunately, the American P-59 jet fighter and the British Meteor fighter have also been successfully tested and will soon be put into actual combat, even though these two jet fighters cannot compete with the Me-262 in terms of technical performance.
Jet fighters have an overwhelming advantage, but a tie is absolutely no problem.
However, even a tie in the air would be unbearable for the Allies.
Having lost their air superiority, the Allies' life in the Mediterranean battlefield became even more difficult. Facing the increasingly large armored clusters of the German army, the Allies had almost no effective countermeasures. The US Army equipped a large number of M4 type X
The Mann tank is only a medium-sized tank, and it seems somewhat powerless against the German Tiger and Panther tanks.
However, how easy is it to develop a powerful heavy tank in a short period of time?
In this world, I am afraid that only the Soviet Union can barely compare with Germany in terms of tank research and development. Now that the Soviet Union has collapsed, there is no longer a strong armored force to compete with Germany.
Yangon, Four Fields Headquarters.
Yue Weihan was sulking, and Deng Zhenggong was standing by to give him good advice.
Things have to start with the liberation of Shanghai. The 3rd Army over there has just regained Shanghai, and even the arrested traitors and traitors have not had time to be liquidated. Here, Alexander from the UK came to test Yue Weihan in a private capacity. What is the test? Naturally.
It is an issue of post-war order in the British Concession in Shanghai.
Before the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, the British had a large concession in Shanghai.
What is a concession? It is the land leased by the Chinese government to the United Kingdom. From the perspective of international law, it is the territory of the British Empire, at least during the lease period. For example, today's Yangon, Yan'anqiang and Huakang Valley in Myanmar
The concession will remain China's legal territory for at least a hundred years.
However, after the Japanese army occupied Shanghai, the British Concession also fell.
Now that the National Army has driven away the Japanese troops and reoccupied Shanghai, whether to restore the British Concession in Shanghai has become an extremely difficult issue. On this point, the attitude of Chairman Mao and the New National Government is very clear, and so is Yue Weihan.
Firmly, that is, a series of treaties signed between the great powers and the Manchu Qing government that were humiliating and humiliating the country must be abolished.
However, the British were obviously unwilling to give up their interests in Shanghai. So they sent Alexander to test Yue Weihan's tone and reaction. Then it was estimated that the British government would come forward to issue a diplomatic note to the Nationalist Government. The British also
You are really used to being a world hegemon, and now you are still thinking about restoring the British Concession in Shanghai?
However, one thing is very troublesome, and that is the attitude of the US government, because the British Concession in Shanghai was actually merged with the US Concession, and they jointly established the Concession Industry Bureau, whose administrative function is actually equivalent to the city hall of the concession, so
, if the United States supports the United Kingdom, this matter will really not be easy to handle.
Yue Weihan was angry when General Wei Lihuang suddenly walked in with a red face.
"General, good news!" Before he could greet him, General Wei Lihuang shouted in an extremely rude manner, "There is news from the Shan State Plateau that the armed helicopter jointly designed and manufactured by Kamov and Miri has successfully made a test flight.
!" This is indeed exciting news. Yue Weihan has been waiting for three full months.
At that moment, Yue Weihan couldn't care less about being angry with the British. He immediately arranged a special plane to fly directly to the Shan State Plateau. At the same time, he also invited Avril over and asked her to take the photographer and tape with her to fly to Shan State.
Helicopter base on the Bang Plateau, Yue Weihan naturally had a motive for this move. He had to show off the power of the world's first armed helicopter through Western media!
The next day, Shan State Plateau.
A "crudely made" helicopter was performing a series of flying movements in the valley and among the jungles, hovering, circling, flying upside down, diving, climbing, flying in an inverted "8", and looping around with the nose as the axis...
...The aerobatic performance lasted only fifteen minutes, but won bursts of cheers from the audience on the ground.
Even though Yue Weihan was used to big scenes, he couldn't help but blush with excitement at this time.
Nothing else, just because this armed helicopter is of great significance to China! It is too important!
Although this prototype looks very crude, the exterior armor has not even been painted and looks rusty. The machine guns and rocket launchers installed in the left and right cabins and under the belly are not real standard weapons. However,
This does not affect Yue Weihan's perception and evaluation of it.
From the very beginning, what Yue Weihan wanted was not the sophisticated armed helicopters of later generations.
What Yue Weihan needs is just a high-power general-purpose helicopter equipped with protective armor, machine guns and rocket launchers. For armored clusters in this era, such an armed helicopter is enough to become a nightmare-level existence. What satellite navigation, electronic
The control and laser-guided bombs are just a cloud, and there is no need for them now.
Avril, who was lucky enough to watch the performance, did not realize what this helicopter meant to the Allies.
However, the subsequent simulated confrontation finally made Avril understand the horror of this strange-looking helicopter. When the armed helicopter used the cover of the treetops to approach an armored cluster composed of five armored vehicles from the flank.
When I reached my head, the most incredible thing happened.
The armed helicopter slightly adjusted its flight attitude and used the rockets mounted under the belly to destroy the five armored vehicles on the ground one by one. However, the armored vehicles on the ground could not threaten the helicopters in the sky at all. Due to the shooting angle of the main gun,
, it is impossible to hit the target in the sky. Although the anti-aircraft machine gun can reach it, it cannot penetrate the protective armor of the armed helicopter.
In less than five minutes, the five armored vehicles on the ground were destroyed neatly, and there was no suspense in the whole process!
Avril was completely shocked. She was a Reuters war correspondent stationed in Myanmar, so she knew nothing about the military. In fact, Avril was a military enthusiast in the true sense. She suddenly thought of the raging European battlefield.
If the Allies could equip a large number of such armed helicopters, then Nazi Germany's armored clusters would not be a threat at all!
