Chapter 212

Early in the morning, Zhang Junhao rode a maroon horse, walked a few miles eastward under the protection of the guards, and stopped on a small high ground.

Zhang Junhao looked into the distance with a telescope.

There are hilly areas in the distance, and it should not be a problem to climb over these hills with the ability of the Special Melee team.

The guard captain Xie Xinming said: "Captain, scout reported that the Japanese army had only one squadron in Yongkang and one gang in Wuyi, with three gangs under its jurisdiction. The gang is the 85th gang."

Zhang Junhao nodded and said, "Let them continue to reconnaise and mark the Japanese army's defense situation clearly on the map."

Xie Xinming said yes loudly.

Zhang Junhao looked to the north and whispered: "The commander of the 79th Division Duan Linmao should have arrived! Why is there no news yet?"

At this moment, the walkie-talkie on the back of the guard rang. Xie Xinming grabbed the microphone, listened to a few words, and handed the microphone to Zhang Junhao.

The phone call was called by Colonel Zhang Boliang. Zhang Boliang said that General Duan Linmao, the commander of the 79th Division, arrived at the headquarters of the 21st Division in Jinyun, and asked whether they were here or Zhang Junhao.

After thinking about it, Zhang Junhao laughed and said, "Tell them, I'll go over now and ask them to wait."

Xie Xinming said yes loudly and hung up the phone.

Zhang Junhao turned his horse's head and urged the horse to go back.

It is only twenty miles from Jianchuan Village to Jinyun County. You can get there quickly by riding a horse.

At around eight o'clock, Zhang Junhao entered Jinyun County under the protection of the guards.

There were 25 guard members following Zhang Junhao. Among the 25 guards, twenty of them were from monks and five from Wu Di’s family members. In addition to these twenty-five, there were guard captain Xie Xinming, personal guard Wang Jinxian, and Wu Di, deputy manager of Lishui Trading Company.

Zhang Junhao and his party were all wearing US military uniforms, with the lowest ranks of sergeant, Major General Zhang Junhao, Lieutenant Colonel Xie Xinming, Major Wang Jinxian, and Captain Wu Di. Twenty people were carrying US submachine guns, and the others were carrying semi-automatic rifles, riding fat and strong Japanese war horses, with a strong and graceful military appearance, and even the horses walked very neatly.

The people of Jinyun County visited each other on tiptoe, full of curiosity. Where did China have such a majestic and mighty army? Is the Chongqing president here?

People who have some knowledge of military knowledge gather together to point fingers. This is an extremely special army and must have an extraordinary origin.

Earlier, a team entered the city. The team was all wearing ragged clothes and straw sandals, which felt like the beggar. The contrast between the two teams in the front and back was too strong, which had to make the people have rich associations.

At the commander's office, Lieutenant General Luo Juntong and Lieutenant General Duan Linmao stood together. Duan Linmao had to go back immediately after seeing Zhang Junhao, so even the guards were standing at the gate.

Zhang Junhao rode over on a horse, Lieutenant General Luo Juntong and Lieutenant General Duan Linmao faced Zhang Junhao. Zhang Junhao turned over and dismounted from a distance, hung the semi-automatic rifle on the saddle, threw the reins to Wang Jinxian, and strode towards Lieutenant General Luo Juntong and Lieutenant General Duan Linmao.

After meeting, the three of them stood still at the same time and gave each other a gift.

Lieutenant General Luo Juntong introduced Zhang Junhao to Lieutenant General Duan Linmao and said loudly: "This is the commander-in-chief of the Third War Zone, and the captain of the special melee team, General Zhang Junhao."

Then he introduced Lieutenant General Duan Linmao and said: "This is General Duan Linmao, the commander of the 79th Division."

Zhang Junhao saluted Lieutenant General Duan Linmao again, and Duan Linmao quickly returned the salute.

As a dignified division commander, Lieutenant General Duan Linmao's military cap was wrinkled, his uniform was white, his elbows were patched, his belt was worn very seriously, and half of the gun holster was torn apart. The upper edge of the underwear collar was worn, and his feet were wearing Japanese leather shoes, covered with mud.

He is thin and his military uniform looks particularly generous.

Zhang Junhao looked at Lieutenant General Duan Linmao's guards, and his heart felt so sad and tears burst out from his eyes.

The first thing Zhang Junhao said to Lieutenant General Duan Linmao was: "General, thank you for your hard work."

Lieutenant General Duan Linmao complained: "Adminton Zhang, how can I not work hard! Our Sichuan army was raised by the wild mother. We have to fight hard in the war. The Battle of Shanghai, the Battle of Nanchang, the Battle of Wuhan, and the Battle of Changsha. Wherever there is the Japanese army. Since our division fought the Japanese in Jinhua, we have been fighting for several months. We have no supplies to provide, and there are only two groups of 235 and 236 left in a division. Our officers and soldiers are very miserable! We have no food, no clothes, no ammunition, and we are almost going to become savages when we have no food to eat, no clothes, no ammunition, and we are hiking in the mountains all day long. We almost become savages."

What can Zhang Junhao say? The 79th Division is in trouble and the country is certainly unable to provide for it for the time being, so it can only rely on itself. It is impossible to let Zhang Junhao offer it to the 79th Division, right?

When Zhang Junhao saw Lieutenant General Luo Juntong, Lieutenant General Luo Juntong also sighed heavily and said, "Yes! Our Sichuan Army is raised by Ye Niu, and my army has not paid any military salary for several months."

Zhang Junhao frowned, and he didn't expect that Lieutenant General Luo Juntong would have so many complaints.

Zhang Junhao did not accept the words of the two generals and shouted: "Let's sit down and talk."

Lieutenant General Luo Juntong immediately stretched out his right hand and said loudly: "Please, two generals!"

Zhang Junhao strode towards the gate, after entering, he came to the conference room and sat down on the east side. Luo Juntong sat down on the main seat and Duan Linmao sat down on the west side.

Lieutenant General Luo Juntong looked at Zhang Junhao and said, "Adminton Zhang, you represent the third war zone, please speak first."

Zhang Junhao laughed and said, "First of all, I have always admired the Sichuan Army very much. I used to be the deputy chief of staff in the 21st Division. Now, Colonel Luo Zhong, the chief of staff of the Special Melee Team, is General Luo's nephew. My Special Melee Team can be said to have half of its bloodline as the Sichuan Army."

Luo Juntong laughed after hearing this, Duan Linmao saw Zhang Junhao's expression becoming kind.

Zhang Junhao said: "I don't talk big, let alone talk nonsense. I just say it. I want to attack Yongkang in the first battle and strive to take Yongkang down. Yongkang is a key area connecting Wuyi and Pan'an, and directly threatens Jinyun's security. Taking Yongkang down, Jinyun will have a barrier, and the connection between Wuyi and Pan'an will be cut off."

Duan Linmao was shocked and said, "Just because of our little force, we want to attack Yongkang? Are you not afraid of not being able to defeat Yongkang, but you will destroy us!"

Zhang Junhao laughed and said, "According to the preliminary reconnaissance of our troops, there is a Japanese squadron stationed in Yongkang, which belongs to the 85th Japanese corps stationed in Wuyi. The Japanese corps has a gang with three brigades under its jurisdiction. One brigade is stationed in Tonglu, one brigade is stationed in the county, and one brigade is stationed in Lutan, connecting with the Japanese army in Jinhua. The squadrons of each brigade are all scattered in various places, and the control area is very large. As long as we attack Yongkang, the Japanese troops in Wuyi and Pan'an have no time to reinforce. Even if they can reinforce, the reinforcements cannot exceed one brigade."

Duan Linmao was shocked and said: "Is there still fewer troops in a brigade? None of our divisions is his opponent."

Zhang Junhao sneered: "Teacher Duan, are you scared by the Japanese? I remember when you were in Lanxi, your troops were in Wang Tiehan's 49th Army, and the war was very good! Why are you suddenly scared by the Japanese now?"

Duan Linmao was speechless and blushed.

Lieutenant General Luo Juntong quickly smoothed out the situation. The two divisions originated from the Sichuan Army and both thought they were treated unfairly, so Lieutenant General Luo Juntong spoke to Lieutenant General Duan Linmao at a critical moment. He laughed and said, "Adminton Zhang, I understand the situation of Commander Duan. He is very brave in fighting and has outstanding military achievements. However, he has recently fought with the Japanese army continuously, and the team has suffered a huge loss. On the surface, it is the main division, but in fact it is already a remnant division, with only two infantry regiments left. Moreover, these two regiments are seriously insufficient ammunition and their morale is very low. Now the 79th Division's regiments and battalions are scattered in the mountains, and it is difficult to assemble. Commander Duan wants to fight Yongkang, but the team cannot be concentrated in a short period of time!"

Zhang Junhao knew that the 21st Division and the 79th Division were both Sichuan Army. When Luo Juntong was helping Duan Linmao, he was actually expressing his own attitude. He didn't want to fight, for fear that his division would suffer losses during the attack on Yongkang.

Zhang Junhao looked at Lieutenant General Luo Juntong and sneered: "I know that you were indeed brave in the past and had rich results in wars. But now, you all began to have the idea of ​​preserving strength, but do you know? If you want to preserve your strength, will the Japanese army give you a chance? When the Japanese army stabilizes, the first thing to solve is your two divisions. We regard Yongkang as a threat, and the Japanese army will not regard Jinyun as a threat? If I want to attack Yongkang, the Japanese army will not want to attack Jinyun? In the previous stage, there were two armies and more than a dozen divisions in our area. After a while, with the dissolution of the 25th Army, there will be only three or four divisions left behind in this area. I cannot stay in this area forever, and I will definitely go elsewhere in the future. I don't want to use the privileges given to me by the Third War Zone to suppress you. It will be ugly. It will be difficult for everyone to meet in the future. Yongkang, my special melee team will come to fight. After defeating Yongkang, how about sending a regiment to the 21st Division to defend?"

Lieutenant General Luo Juntong smiled awkwardly and said, "Of course my division has to send a team to take over the defense!"
