Chapter 27 Aftermath!
In the Tang Mansion in Baiziting, Tang Shengzhi walked around his living room a little impatiently. At this time, his face had already seen his usual calmness, and the rumbling sound of cannons outside came from time to time, which also made him feel even more irritable.
Since the war in Nanjing began, he has placed the headquarters in the Tang Mansion. Not only does it have an air raid shelter, but also several anti-aircraft guns that can provide air defense. It is one of the few safe places in Nanjing.
At this time, the Japanese army had launched attacks on many places, especially in the direction of Chunhua Town, where the rumbling cannon sound could be heard even in Nanjing City.
Moreover, news came from the front line that the 189th Division's air force was conducting a large-scale air battle with the Japanese Air Force, which also made him worry about the war in Chunhua Town, whether the 189th Division could withstand the Japanese attack.
At this time, a messenger ran in with excitement, "Commander! Great victory! Great victory!"
"Oh! A great victory happened somewhere!" Tang Shengzhi asked hurriedly.
"The 189th Division called and they wiped out a brigade of the Japanese army, and in the air battle just now they shot down at least 30 enemy planes. Commander Nie hopes that we can send people to check the results."
"Destroy one brigade! Shoot down 30 enemy planes!" Tang Shengzhi said a little reluctantly. If all this is true, then this is definitely an unprecedented victory.
Since the Anti-Japanese War, when has the National Army wiped out a brigade of the Japanese army? Not to mention a brigade, there is not even a brigade.
"But they were very dissatisfied with our army's plane not going to support Chunhua Town. They thought we were taking the opportunity to consume their strength." The messenger said hesitantly.
Tang Shengzhi smiled bitterly, can he command those old men in the Air Force?
Moreover, those guys in the Air Force dared to do this, probably because they received instructing from the upper class. It is estimated that the old problem has happened again and I don’t want to see that the 189th Division is too strong.
But Nie Ziwen, don’t you speak so straightforwardly! Don’t you know that this is the officialdom? You can say anything that embarrasses your boss like this. Are you not afraid that your boss will wear small shoes for you?
"Tell him that the Air Force is not something I can command. If he wants the culprit, he has to look for me." Tang Shengzhi smiled and smiled.
If you want him to take the blame for someone, there is no door.
"Send someone to Chunhua Town to test my merits quickly. If it is true, I will ask the old man for me to do it quickly." Tang Shengzhi said with a little enthusiasm.
"As for orders! Sir!"
"By the way! If those military achievements are true, someone will take the opportunity to consume their strength and send the sentence to Chongqing intact." Tang Shengzhi thought for a while and said, he really wanted to see the wonderful expression of the old man when he saw that sentence.

In the combat conference room of Chiang Kai-shek in Chongqing, Sichuan, some staff members were talking about the Japanese offensive in a low voice. Chiang Kai-shek was also anxiously walking around the conference room. He was very concerned about how the war in Nanjing was going.
"Hurry, call me to Nanjing and ask me what the war in Nanjing is like." Chiang Kai-shek finally stopped and said.
"Reporting to Chairman of the report, we call from Nanjing. We have achieved unprecedented victories. The 189th Division wiped out a brigade of the enemy, and also killed 32 enemy planes, hurting countless enemy planes." At this time, a staff officer ran over and said, but his face looked a little strange, and he didn't seem particularly happy.
"Oh! Is all this true?" Chiang Kai-shek said with excitement. He snatched the telegram from the staff officer and read it carefully.
At first, his face was very happy, but immediately his face turned pale. Finally, he held the telegram in his hand tightly, and the veins on his hand burst out.
The staff officer was so scared that he didn't dare to speak out, but just lowered his head and didn't say a word.
"My mother Xipi, what did Mao Bangchu do? How could he let the 189th Division fight alone? Isn't this ruining my reputation?" Chiang Kai-shek was so angry that he tore the telegram in his hand and then slapped the table beside him and said.
The war room was completely quiet at this time, and the staff members also looked at him very carefully, for fear of accidentally angering him.
"I didn't mean to generate electricity to that Nie Ziwen. I didn't want to take the opportunity to consume the strength of the local troops. This was all Mao Bangchu's own idea. I will definitely ask him to give the 189th Division an explanation." Chiang Kai-shek said coldly.
"In addition, Nie Ziwen was promoted to the rank of lieutenant general, Zhang Lingfu, the commander of the 305th Regiment, and appointed him as deputy brigade commander of the 153rd Brigade. The flight brigade commander of the 189th Division was named Li Liqian."
"That's right."
"He was promoted to the rank of major general, and all the participants in the war will award me a first-class merit."
"That Li Liqian seems to be only 17 years old. Is hesitant to say that the 17-year-old major general is simply the rarest in the world.
"So what's wrong with being young? I want to tell everyone that as long as they can fight Japanese pirates, even if he is just a teenager, I am willing to promote him to general." Chiang Kai-shek said proudly.
"So good."
But the staff officer found that Chiang Kai-shek's face was a little unnatural, as if he was very angry about something.
Mao Bangchu was confused after receiving Chiang Kai-shek's reprimand. Could it be that I really misunderstood?

However, at this time, there was chaos in the Shanghai Expeditionary Force headquarters. When King Hirahiko Kamiya got the Japanese Navy Air Force to fail in the air battle with the 189th Division, he was extremely angry. Those navies consumed so much money from the country, and now they can't even defeat a small air force of the 189th Division. This is really outrageous.
But soon something that made him feel overwhelmed.
"Report to the Commander, Captain Maozhang of Nanxiang has not come back this time." Major General He Zhongzhi, the commander of the Third Flying Regiment, suddenly rushed in and said to him with a little anxious look.
"Who is Shigeru Namgo? Isn't he just a captain?" King Hirohiko Asakamura said disapprovingly. He didn't understand why Shiga Takaji specifically reported to him because of the disappearance of a captain.
Shi Ka Tadaji looked at King Hirohiko Asakamami with a little stunned. He didn't know who Shirozhang Nanxiang was? Although he never liked the navy guys, he still respected Shirozhang Nanxiang very much because he was the real NO.1 among all Japanese pilots. He was the leader of the four Japanese kings. He was the idol in the hearts of all Japanese pilots. In the hearts of Japanese pilots, he was a living god. All Japanese pilots firmly believed that no one could defeat Shirozhang Nanxiang in the sky.
But now their gods have been defeated! This has a huge blow to all Japanese pilots. It can be said that the top leaders of the entire navy will be alarmed by this incident.
But their commander didn't know who Nanxiang Maozhang was, which made Hitoshi Kazuhira feel a little dissatisfied with King Hirohiko Asakagumi.
"Wait! This name is so familiar!" King Hirohiko Asakagumiya suddenly patted his head and said.
"He is the war god of all our pilots." Shiga Tadaji said coldly.
"I'm so sorry, it's up to He Jun. My memory has been so bad recently." King Hirohiko Asakagumi finally remembered who Nanxiang Maozhang was.
Although he was born in the royal family, he always looked down on these civilians, he knew that if his behavior was spread just now, it would have been a huge blow to his image.
"Please don't spread the news about what happened just now, please." King Hirohiko Asakagumi quickly said to Tsukiji with a humble look on his face.
"I understand." Shihe Zhongzhi said quickly with his head down.
"What do you think we should do?" Asakamami Hirohiko said to him.
"We must send additional planes to determine the life and death of Nanxiangjun. If he is still alive, we must find a way to find him." Shihe Zhongzhi said.
"Okay, that's what we do."
But King Hirohiko Asakagumi still underestimated Nanxiang Maozhang's influence too much. The news of Nanxiang Maozhang's disappearance spread like a plague, and almost all the top leaders of the navy were alarmed by this incident one after another.
