Chapter 489: Military Council (1)
Nanyue, also known as Hengshan, is located in the southeast of the central part of Hunan Province in China, stretches between the two basins of Hengyang and Xiangtan, and is also a famous Taoist and Buddhist holy place, there are more than 200 temples, temples, nunnery, and views around the mountain, because the terrain here is dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack, Chairman Chiang arranged the annual military meeting of the Military Committee of the National Government to be held here, and this meeting is also called the Nanyue Military Conference.
This year's Nanyue military conference is scheduled to be held on December 15, as the time approaches, Nanyue, which is located in the depths of the mountains, begins to be lively one after another, and all kinds of people in cars, carriages and even on foot have gathered here, and groups of heavily armed soldiers have begun to set up guard points and sentry posts in this vicinity, and the valley that was empty in the past has begun to resound with the sound of bustling.
As a national military conference, there is no doubt about its importance, and in addition to military personnel, many people from all walks of life and various departments of the Central Military Commission attended the meeting.
Nanyue returned to the Yanfeng Temple on the Yanfeng Peak, which has been surrounded by hundreds of heavily armed soldiers, and at this time, more than a dozen senior generals of the National Army in the temple are visiting the scenery here with great interest. One of the tall middle-aged generals pointed to the surrounding scenery and said to another slightly shorter general beside him: "Jiansheng, the origin of this Yanfeng Temple is not simple, it was first built in the twelfth year of Liang Tianjian in the Southern Dynasty, and was later abolished. It was not rebuilt until the first year of Tang Tianbao, and the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties were all repaired, so today's scale was formed. Many people come here every year, but if it weren't for the winter, I'm afraid it would be ......."
"I said Delin, I know that you are very well-written, you don't have to show off with me, and it will not be too late for you to drop your schoolbag with him when Chen Yanji comes!" The generals next to him sighed helplessly, causing several generals who followed them to turn their heads and laugh.
It turned out that these two people were Li Zongren, who was the commander of the Fifth Theater at the time, and Bai Chongxi, deputy chief of the General Staff of the General Staff, and behind them were the generals of the Gui family.
The two of them, who hadn't seen each other for more than half a year, naturally had a lot to say, and just as the two were chatting, an adjutant hurriedly ran to the two of them and saluted, and then took out a telegram from his bag and handed it over with both hands.
Li Zongren took the telegram and glanced at it, with a hint of joy in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Jiansheng, the little brother you made in Hangzhou is really trustworthy, the first batch of supplies he promised us this morning has arrived at Laohekou. In order to transport the supplies to Laohekou, he used fifteen large transport planes and more than ten escort fighters, but Yan Mou (chief of staff Xu Zuyi) was very happy. ”
"Oh, so fast!" Bai Chongxi was also surprised when he heard it, "I heard that there are still remnants of the Japanese army in Hangzhou that have not been completely cleared, I thought it would take at least a month or two before the things arrived, but I didn't expect this kid to use a plane to send us something, this favor is not small, let's see what he sent us?" ”
Since the start of the war, Huaxia has no fighter production capacity, and the planes are one less than one, so by now the sky is basically the world of the Japanese, and Su Jin can send transport planes to transport goods to them, which itself has to take a certain risk, so Bai Chongxi said that this is not a small favor.
"Don't worry, I'll see." Li Zongren continued to look at the telegram in his hand, and at this time, the generals standing behind them also began to get excited, the Gui family has always been relatively poor, so the equipment of the Gui department has always been relatively backward, and now when they heard someone sending a batch of munitions, where could they calm down, and they all came up to listen to what Li Zongren had to say.
I saw Li Zongren read slowly: "Ten American-made M1 155mm howitzers, 100 Makqin heavy machine guns and 50 Soviet-made anti-tank rifles, in addition, he also equipped each artillery with 15 base shells, and the Makqin heavy machine gun and anti-tank rifle are each equipped with 25 base bullets, this is really a charcoal in the snow!" ”
This last sentence was said to Bai Chongxi, and now the Fifth War Zone has fought the Japanese army several times in a row, and the troops are very short of personnel and equipment. The personnel are okay to say that they will continue to recruit, but the loss of materials will be troublesome, due to the weak industrial base of China Thailand, in addition to the production of some light weapons other weapons can not be produced at all, the thirst for heavy weapons is unimaginable to ordinary people, and now I hear that someone has sent ten heavy artillery, which makes their eyes bulge out of the eyes of the generals who have long been eager to see through the artillery.
After Li Zongren finished reading the telegram, he turned his head to look at the few generals behind him who were looking at him and couldn't help but laugh and said: "Don't be so shallow in your eyelids, that kid has a lot of good things, and when there are more things delivered, I will send them to you at one time." ”
Speaking of this, Li Zongren pondered for a moment and then asked, "Jiansheng, why hasn't that little guy been there yet?" ”
"I don't know." Bai Chongxi said helplessly: "People are very busy now, he didn't think much about this military meeting, if I hadn't explained it to him, I'm afraid he wouldn't have come, but I guess it's soon, although this kid has a big shelf, but as long as he agrees, he rarely regrets it." ”
While he was talking, there was a roar of planes in the sky, the sound became louder and louder, and soon a group of planes appeared on the top of the mountain, and when everyone looked up, they saw a JU52 transport plane nicknamed Aunt Junker flying from the east under the escort of eight fighters, because the speed and altitude of these planes were very low, the huge blue sky and white sun badge on the wings could be clearly seen by everyone. The transport plane was slow, because it was full of steep peaks, and no pilot dared to be negligent, so it slowly drifted through the mountains almost at a gliding speed towards a makeshift airfield at the foot of Huiyan Peak, while the eight fighters flew back into the air and flew eastward.
Looking at this scene, many officers were amazed, and some even sighed in a low voice, looking at this pomp and circumstance, I am afraid that this pomp and circumstance is not much different from Chairman Chiang. And Li Bai and the others looked at each other and smiled, this person really couldn't help but chatter, just said Cao Cao, this Cao Cao will arrive.
Li Zongren waved his hand: "Let's go, let's also greet this little brother, I want to see what this person who makes the Japanese hate him looks like like him!" ”
After that, the group quickly descended back to Yanfeng and walked down the mountain...... (To be continued.) )
