Chapter 1457: Not enough success, more than enough failure
Return to the dock.
Soldiers from the secret service battalion are carrying down the body of the robber.
Xu Kang was watching from the side. He counted them one by one. He wanted to report them.
Nothing is trivial when it comes to foreigners...
Zhang Yong originally stood aside and watched, but suddenly his eyes rolled and he had some ideas. So he came to Xu Kang's side.
"Commander Xu..."
"Commissioner Zhang, thank you. Fortunately, it was you who took action personally..."
"Has Jiu Wenlong's body been carried down?"
"I haven't seen it yet..."
"Then help me declare to the outside world that Jiuwenlong was captured alive and taken away by me."
"You want to..."
"Investigating the mastermind behind this. I suspect there is someone behind Jiu Wenlong."
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Of course, Xu Kang eagerly agreed.
It is best to leave this matter entirely to Zhang Yong. Zhang Yong is the professional.
It doesn't matter whether there is someone instigating it or not.
As long as Commissioner Zhang says someone is instigating it, then someone is instigating it.
As for who this person is, you can ask Commissioner Zhang. Anyway, it has nothing to do with our Jiang Defense Corps.
After a while, Jiu Wenlong's body was identified.
Zhang Yong directly sent someone to take him away.
What's the use?
The person behind the deception. If there really is someone behind the scenes.
If the person falls into his own hands, the person behind Jiuwenlong will definitely not be able to sit still.
Return to Jiujiang Advance Command Post.
Before my butt gets warm, the staff officer arrives.
"Report!"
"What's up?"
"Commissioner, there is a British woman calling herself Catherine calling you."
"Take it over."
Zhang Yong nodded.
Catherine? Telephone negotiation?
Are you trying to take Dayang back? Absolutely impossible...
No one can snatch the ocean that falls into Zhang Yong’s pocket.
The phone rings. Pick up the receiver.
"open……"
"You have something to say."
"What are Sirius' casualties?"
"What Sirius?"
"That's the hijacked ocean freighter! It belongs to the East India Company."
"Oh. I thought it was Harry Potter..."
"What did you say?"
"Nothing. I have taken care of the matter. Three hostages died unfortunately. The other thirty people were rescued."
"Who are the robbers?"
"The initial suspicion is that it is Brother Pao. There may be someone behind the scenes. I have captured his leader alive. The answer should be there after a trial."
"That's good."
"Is everything okay?"
"It's okay. I was just asking."
"Is everything really okay?"
"It's okay! What? You miss me?"
"I……"
Zhang Yong was about to speak but stopped.
Confuse.
Catherine didn't mention the ocean?
Did he not know? Or did he think it was useless to mention it? So he simply didn’t mention it?
To be honest, who in China today doesn’t know that Zhang Yong is desperate for money. It’s difficult to take out the money once it’s in his hands!
but……
"Miss Catherine, I have something to tell you."
"What's up?"
"The cargo list given by the dock on the Sirius freighter you mentioned is more than one hundred tons of peanuts. However, I found that there are many oceans hidden in the peanuts. They are all sealed. Currently, I am counting, and the specific amount is unknown.
.”
"Silver dollar?"
"Yes."
"Then I'll give it to you. You can't touch the peanut."
"Don't you want to know more?"
"Then let me tell you one thing. It may have been done by my colleagues."
"Your peers?"
"The East India Company is very big, with many people, each with his own path. If you take some people's money, you may offend some people."
"Oh. That's okay."
"Be safe! Others are not vegetarians!"
"good."
Zhang Yong nodded.
Okay. No one else is vegetarian. I am the only one who is vegetarian.
The others are all soldiers, agents, killers, and special forces. They are all very arrogant.
I'm just a rookie. I'm weak. I can't lift it with my hands or carry it on my shoulders. Even in bed...
Uh-huh, so embarrassing. I feel so weak...
Nothing happened today.
Listen to music on the hook.
dream……
Suddenly I became crazy about being a teenager. How about writing Harry Potter first?
result……
Forget it, I forgot to write when I picked up my pen.
A low-level 211 science student who has not even finished reading Dream of Red Mansions.
I just read one or two chapters of Yun Yu Qing. Do you want to write about Harry Potter? Writing a Qin Keqing fan of Liu Bei is about the same...
The night passed quietly.
I woke up the next morning and checked various maps. There was nothing abnormal.
The Japanese fighter jets were very quiet and did not move out.
Wash, have breakfast, and then go to the war room.
Du Songyue came up and said, "Commissioner, the 145th Division reported that the Japanese invaders in Wuhu have retreated. They have entered Wuhu."
"Okay. Tell them to keep a low profile." Zhang Yong nodded, "Don't irritate the Japanese invaders for the time being, so as not to cause trouble."
"Understood." Du Songyue went to send a telegram.
Zhang Yong checked the map of the Air Command and found that there were indeed no Japanese tanks or heavy artillery in Wuhu.
I traced eastward and found that they had retreated to the Ma'anshan area.
This place is very close to Jinling. It is impossible for the Japanese invaders to continue to give in.
In fact, the withdrawal from Wuhu was probably highly controversial within the Japanese invaders.
They finally withdrew, which can only show one thing, that is, the Japanese invaders attach great importance to the Battle of Xuzhou.
Determined to gain, there is no room for failure.
We must concentrate all resources, troops, and energy to capture Xuzhou.
In the direction of Xuzhou, the national army was under heavy pressure.
The Japanese invaders who originally went north had seven divisions. They may invest about three more in the future.
Including the three divisions moving from the north to the south, there are thirteen divisions with strong military strength.
Calculated based on an average of 20,000 people per division, the troop strength is close to 300,000.
It can be described as a heavy blow to the Xuzhou area.
On the contrary, the national army is around Xuzhou. Although there are many troop numbers, many of them are just made up numbers.
The actual number of troops may only be more than 300,000, and the elite may only be a few hundred thousand.
Let’s not talk about the difference in firepower. Simply speaking, the military strength is a disadvantage.
Don't expect those scrappy troops to play a big role.
"Report."
After a while, Zhang Weifan came again.
He handed Zhang Yong a compiled troop organization list.
It's about the 184th Division.
The 184th Division reported the relevant situation in detail via telegram.
Currently, there are more than 9,000 people in the 184th Division. The soldiers have almost recovered, and some weapons and ammunition are still available.
Along with them, there were also Chen (Chang) Enduo's troops of the national army. There were about 6,000 people.
The two divisions fought together to resist the Japanese invaders moving north.
"Chen Enduo? 111th Division of the Northeast Army?"
Zhang Yong was impressed.
He used to be a member of the Northeastern Army and was affiliated with the 57th Army.
But before Zhang Yong went to Xi'an to inspect, the 111th Division had already moved to the Central Plains.
Therefore, Zhang Yong has never seen this Chen Enduo.
The once huge Northeastern Army has now been split into pieces. A little bit here, a little bit there.
The original high-ranking officials of the Northeastern Army were either retired and idle at home. Or they were replaced and assigned other positions. Or they were loyal to Chiang Kai-shek.
The general trend has passed, each one is fragmented, and as a whole, the Northeast Army no longer exists.
However, at the division level, there are still many soldiers originating from the Northeastern Army. The main body is also the Northeastern Army. There may be more than thirty.
"Commissioner, this Chen Enduo was once imprisoned for collaborating with the Communist Party."
"Together? When did it happen?"
"Three years ago. Autumn 1935."
"oh."
"During the Northwest Incident, he also commanded troops to exchange fire with the national army trying to invade Xi'an."
"Oh. It's okay then."
Zhang Yong was thoughtful and expressed that he did not care about the 111th Division.
If the estimate is correct, there should be Red Party members in the 111th Division. Chen Enduo may eventually become one of them.
The disbanded Northeastern Army was the most dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek and was very willing to cooperate with the Red Party in the fight against Japan.
In the end, he was gradually influenced and then became an army of the Red Party.
And he, Zhang Yong, is an out-and-out "reactionary". Of course, he cannot have much interaction with Chen Enduo.
Otherwise, he may be fine. But something may happen to Endo Chen.
This is causing chaos for the Red Party.
So, it's best to keep your distance.
If anything happens, it can be handled through the 184th Division.
The 184th Division is the Yunnan Army. The big boss of the Yunnan Army is still alive, so Chiang Kai-shek doesn't dare to go too far.
Study the map silently.
In this battle of Xuzhou, the Northeastern Army was everywhere!
If you include the 68th and 69th armies, the Northeast Army has at least four army numbers participating in the war.
The other two armies are the 51st Army and the 57th Army. The commander of the 51st Army is Yu Xuezhong. The commander of the 57th Army is Miao Chengliu.
Zhang Yong had some understanding of the former, but no understanding of the latter at all.
Suddenly, I admired Li and Bai's mediation and coordination abilities. The fifth theater itself was a hodgepodge.
There are not a few main troops of the Gui clan, but there are a lot of miscellaneous forces.
Northeast Army, Northwest Army, Sichuan Army, Huangpu direct line, Huangpu collateral line, Guangxi line, Yunnan army...
Oh, there are also local snakes, Han Fuju’s Lu clan...
If you go a little south, there is another Han Deqin.
Everyone has his own little ninety-nine.
It's really difficult to unite into a rope.
The problem is...
If the enemy is scattered, it will be impossible to encircle and annihilate the three divisions of the Japanese invaders.
The southern front must withstand the fierce attack of seven Japanese divisions.
On the northern front, we need to surround the three divisions of the Japanese invaders and eliminate them as soon as possible. We need to launch continuous attacks.
All troops participating in the war must exert their utmost strength.
You can't share the same bed with different dreams.
Don't be half-hearted.
Otherwise, the Japanese invaders will definitely take advantage of the loopholes.
Regardless of whether the south side is breached or the encirclement is penetrated, the Japanese invaders will escape.
Is it difficult?
Very difficult. Difficulty coefficient 999%.
The most dangerous situation is that the three Japanese divisions have not been eliminated and the southern front has been penetrated again.
In that case, the entire national army on the Xuzhou battlefield might be surrounded by the Japanese invaders.
It is possible to stage the siege and annihilation of Kiev in advance...
"Report."
A counselor has arrived.
Zhang Yong nodded.
"Commissioner, General Xu Yuanquan, commander-in-chief of the 26th Group Army, is calling you."
"Take it over."
"yes."
Soon, the phone rang.
Zhang Yong picked up the microphone casually and spoke in a calm tone.
"Commander-in-Chief Xu."
"Commissioner Zhang, I'm really sorry to bother you."
"Commander-in-Chief Xu, I have something to say."
"Commissioner Zhang, our department is preparing quickly and will leave at any time."
"good."
"But, Commissioner Zhang, you also know that our department has repeatedly fought against the Japanese invaders and suffered heavy losses..."
"Your department repeatedly fought against the Japanese invaders?"
"Yes."
"Destroy countless enemies and advance to victory?"
"Well……"
Xu Yuanquan was silent.
Annoyed. Wanted to teach Zhang Yong a lesson.
You, a pretty boy, dare to sneer at me? Who do you think you are?
What's so great about the Ombudsman?
A false position!
The command has just dismissed you from your position as director of the Air Force's Strategic Intelligence Division!
You can't even hold on to a small department-level position. Why are you so arrogant? When I was in high demand, you were still in your mother's womb!
However, he has a deep mind and a deep city, so naturally he will not get angry directly.
"Commander Xu, let me ask you something."
"Say it."
"Yesterday, a British freighter was hijacked. Did you know?"
"I heard about it."
"Did Yang Sen send someone to do it?"
"What?"
Xu Yuanquan was stunned.
Yang Sen?
Brother Pao?
He suddenly frowned.
Is Zhang Yong going for Yang Sen?
Want to make a fuss about using foreign freighters?
Oops……
This move is very vicious!
Who doesn’t know that the interests of foreigners cannot be tainted?
Once contaminated, if the commission finds out, you will definitely be severely punished. How could Yang Sen do such a stupid thing?
"It seems that you don't know."
"Commissioner, I don't know. I really don't know anything!"
"Then it'll be fine."
"Commissioner, I really, really..."
"Commander Xu, I just want to ask you. Don't be nervous."
"Okay, okay, okay."
Xu Yuanquan breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, my heart continued to hang in my throat.
This matter indeed had nothing to do with him. He indeed didn’t know. However, he couldn’t resist being framed!
Whether you know or how much you know, the truth is not important. What is important is how Zhang Yong reports it!
What is said is the most important.
Everything in black and white is evidence of guilt. You are what you are.
Especially if Zhang Yong is like this, if he reports that Xu Yuanquan actually knows about this matter...
Then it's over. If you don't die, you'll have to shed your skin.
So, what would Zhang Yong say? What do you think?
Are you familiar with Zhang Yong?
You didn't seem to get along well with him before?
Do you think Zhang Yong is the kind of person whose belly can support the prime minister?
"Mr. Commissioner..."
"What else?"
"Mr. Commissioner, I heard that the 48th Army needs to recruit more troops?"
"right."
"Then I warmly welcome them to Huangmei, and I will be responsible for helping to replenish the troops."
"you?"
"Yes. I will definitely serve you actively."
"good."
Zhang Yong thought to himself, these cunning guys are really good at dealing with them.
Afraid that he would be accused of holding foreigners hostage, he surrendered abruptly and turned to please himself. He took the initiative to invite the 48th Army to station in Huangmei.
No wonder he can become the commander-in-chief of a group army even though he has no actual strength. They are all human beings!
However, as the saying goes, don’t hit the smiling person.
Since the other party has given in, he will let it go for the time being. That is enough to achieve the goal.
"Commander Xu..."
"Commissioner, if you have anything to say, please tell me directly. I am all ears..."
"Okay. I'll tell you the truth. You have two choices. The first one is to go directly to the Huainan front line and confront the Japanese invaders directly."
"What about the second one?"
"The second is to take over Anqing and Luzhou. Let the 67th Army and the 100th Army go into battle."
"Sir Commissioner, please give me some advice."
"Deploy some soldiers from your army and add them to the 48th Army."
"this……"
"About 10,000 people will be mobilized. Only soldiers, not officers. Unless the officers take the initiative to volunteer."
Zhang Yong speaks out.
This is his true purpose.
Empty the backbone of Xu Yuanquan's subordinates.
Deploy those soldiers who are willing to resist Japan and actively resist Japan.
Continuing to stay under Xu Yuanquan is tantamount to a waste.
You must come under your command to exert 100% combat effectiveness!
There was a brief silence.
"Sir Commissioner, this is against the rules..."
"What rules?"
"I……"
"Your establishment will continue to be retained, and you will still receive military pay. After the transfer, you will fill the vacancies on the spot. Is there any problem?"
"this……"
"If you don't want to, I'll go find Yang Sen..."
"I do, I do!"
Xu Yuanquan responded hurriedly, not caring about face.
This Zhang Yong is definitely an evil star. He fails to achieve anything but fails more than he should. And his sword is deadly.
He can't help you achieve anything. But if he wants to defeat you, it will be easy.
"Okay. I'll ask the 48th Army to contact you later."
"Okay, okay, okay."
"That's it. Goodbye."
Zhang Yong hung up the phone and showed no expression on his face.
On the other end, Xu Yuanquan was holding the microphone, angry but unable to break out.
If there was a chance to kill Zhang Yong, he would never hesitate at all.
The problem is...
I can’t get rid of it!
There are so many people who want to kill Zhang Yong, but he is still alive and kicking.
The Japanese invaders were so powerful that they couldn't do anything to Zhang Yong.
Therefore, you should be patient and patient first.
Wait for others to make the first move.
For example, Yang Sen...
By the way, was Yang Sen really responsible for the foreign kidnapping case?
This old guy is so desperate for his life that he dares to hold the British hostage. Isn't this a stone to hit himself in the foot? No, is it a stone to smash the Heavenly Spirit Cap?
Shake his head.
Don't dare to think too much.
In short, Zhang Yong let himself go.
What does the life and death of others have to do with you?
A dead Taoist friend is not dead but a poor Taoist...
"Someone is coming!"
"arrive!"
"Immediately send an order to all ministries that our army is about to go to the front line. Those who are willing to go into battle to kill the enemy should actively sign up."
"yes."
