On May 21, the Japanese dispatched a fleet to conduct a large-scale artillery bombardment of the Japanese troops in Tianjin, causing a large number of civilian and soldier casualties.

After learning the news, the 98th Army immediately dispatched a large number of bomber units. After fierce battles, a total of 2 cruisers and 4 destroyers were sunk, and the Nagato and Hiei were seriously damaged. In order to avoid a bigger attack

The losses forced the Japanese fleet to retreat hastily.

After learning that soldiers and civilians in Tianjin had suffered heavy casualties, Lu Mingxuan immediately severely condemned this act and declared that he would carry out large-scale retaliation against Japan.

On May 22, the 98th Army dispatched 27 B29 strategic bombers to conduct a large-scale bombing of the Kobe Shipyard, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of Kobe Shipyard workers and thousands of injuries. A large number of warships and warships were under construction.

Civilian ships were forced to stop work, and some warships under construction also suffered extremely serious damage.

Japan's Prime Minister Konoe and Minister of Military Order Nagano Osamu immediately severely condemned Lu Mingxuan's behavior, claiming that it was an extremely barbaric and inhumane act and that Lu Mingxuan had committed an extremely serious crime against humanity.

Lu Mingxuan is no longer surprised by the shameless remarks of the Japanese. No matter in the future or now, the Japanese will always talk about the harm others have done to them and keep mentioning it, but the harm they have done to other countries

The hurt is never mentioned.

After learning about this, celebrities from all walks of life in China spoke out in support of Lu Mingxuan. They claimed that this was entirely caused by the Japanese.

If the Japanese had not bombarded Tianjin, Lu Mingxuan would never have bombed the Kobe Shipyard.

Just as China and Japan were engaged in a war of words, Zhang Lingfu, who was commanding the troops to launch an attack on Tianjin, received a telegram from Jiyuan.

After reading this telegram, he felt really mixed emotions and miserable.

Because in this telegram, Lu Mingxuan issued an order in an extremely stern tone. All officers must make a detailed report to the military headquarters on all their recent contacts with the military commander within three days. There must be no concealment, otherwise they will definitely

Received extremely severe punishment.

After learning the news, Zhang Lingfu could only sigh, why is it always so difficult to be a professional soldier in China?

He never wanted to get involved in politics, but politics always found him.

Now it seems it's time to take sides again, but what should he do?

Chiang Kai-shek is the leader of China. Logically speaking, he should be loyal to Chiang Kai-shek.

But Lu Mingxuan was kind to him and promoted him from a regiment commander to an ace brigade commander, which made him feel in a dilemma again.

At this moment, a short soldier gently opened the door and walked in.

After seeing the soldier, Zhang Lingfu's face immediately turned gloomy.

He had never thought before that the military commander would actually reach out to his troops. As a soldier, he was naturally disgusted with these spies.

"When you enter my office from now on, you should knock on the door first."

Seeing Zhang Lingfu's unhappy look, the soldier was stunned for a while, but a smile soon appeared on his face.

"I understand, Traveler, I will definitely pay attention next time."

After listening to his words, Zhang Lingfu's face looked a little better.

"I wonder how you have considered the matter that I mentioned to you last time? As long as you agree, then it is very likely that you will be the commander of the 189th Division after the matter is completed. At that time, the real future will be unlimited.

Ah. Maybe I will need more support from Master in the future?"

The soldier said with a smile on his face.

"You think the 98th Army is too simple. The 189th Division is the sphere of influence of the old men in Wolong Village. They are very repulsive to me and Brigadier Sun. It is simply impossible for me to control the 189th Division."

Zhang Lingfu said coldly.

Just two days ago, this soldier came to him and introduced himself to him. He also conveyed to him a top-secret plan from the top brass of the Communist Party of China.

That is the plan to dismember the 98th Army!

In fact, Zhang Boya's guess was absolutely correct. Chiang Kai-shek did have the intention to place Lu Mingxuan under house arrest at the right time.

After all, the 98th Army was getting stronger and stronger. This made him feel very uneasy.

He hoped that after putting Lu Mingxuan under house arrest, Zhang Lingfu and Sun Liren could control the 189th Division and the 190th Division.

As long as they can do this, the plan will be completely successful.

But Zhang Lingfu knew how easy it was to control the 189th Division. The 189th Division was the unit where Lu Mingxuan started his career, and most of the people in the 189th Division were his old ministers from Wolong Village.

Some of these people did not have high official positions, but they had very bad tempers. Relying on their seniority, they did not take outsiders like Zhang Lingfu seriously.

There are only a few people from Wolong Village who can convince them.

The soldier pondered for a while, and then continued: "What if someone in the 189th Division is willing to help you?"

After listening to his words, Zhang Lingfu couldn't help but feel terrified.

"Did you also develop people in the 189th Division?"

Zhang Lingfu couldn't help but exclaimed.

"That's of course. The abilities of our bureau chiefs are incomparable to those of ordinary people."

The soldier said proudly.

Although the soldier was very confident, Zhang Lingfu still shook his head.

"It's useless. The 189th Division is not that easy to control. This army has its own pride. People who are not in their circle can't even think of controlling the 189th Division. And even if you control the 189th Division and the 190th Division, they still have a third division.

The Second Armored Division and the First Motorized Infantry Division, plus those heavy armor battalions and heavy assault artillery battalions, it is not easy to defeat the 98th Army."

"How will you know if you don't try? Maybe we still have unknown trump cards."

The soldier still said with confidence that it seemed that they were really well prepared this time.

"Now we are facing a national crisis. Although I, Mr. Zhang, am not a gentleman, I know that internal strife is absolutely not allowed at this time. Please forgive me for not being able to participate in your plan."

Zhang Lingfu shook his head and said.

"Brigadier Zhang, I really didn't expect you to be such an ungrateful person! Without the cultivation of you by the party and state, would you be where you are today?"

After hearing his words, the soldier couldn't help but said sharply.

"Of course I haven't forgotten it! You'd better not threaten me with this! Otherwise, I would have handed you over to the military seat a long time ago, and you wouldn't have the right to be so presumptuous here! But I would like to advise you, you'd better leave here as soon as possible

, the military commander is probably aware of your plan. You have military commanders, and the 98th Army also has MI5."

"MI5 may not be as strong as you as a whole, but among Jiyuan and the 98th Army, their strength is much stronger than yours."

Zhang Lingfu said coldly.

"Really! Thank you for the reminder!"

After listening to his words, the soldier's face showed a hint of warmth.

"It seems that the host still has old feelings for the party and the country, but please don't worry, I have known about this for a long time, and I will not come back after this time."

After hearing what he said, Zhang Lingfu was shocked again. It seemed that someone in the 98th Army had really rebelled. Otherwise, they would not have known about such a thing.

"But since Brigadier Zhang has made this choice, don't regret it. If Brigadier Zhang regrets it, maybe it's still too late."

The soldier said sullenly.

"I, Mr. Zhang, will never regret anything I do! Don't worry about that!"

Zhang Lingfu said coldly.

Seeing Zhang Lingfu's extremely determined look, the soldier finally left angrily.

After seeing the soldier leave, Zhang Lingfu finally sighed helplessly, and then started writing a report. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support.
