Chapter 80: The Battle of Jiujiang (3)

Watching the two Japanese planes struggling to climb rapidly towards the sky and fly eastward, puffs of black smoke coming out of the engines due to full speed running, the soldiers and civilians on the ground all broke out into loud cheers.

Since the full-scale war between China and Japan, the Chinese military and civilians have seen the scene of Japanese planes committing murder in the Chinese sky, and in the past two days, watching one Japanese plane after another dive and strafing at them, everyone's hearts are full of helplessness and grief and indignation, but because the national strength is weak, the Chinese air force has long been exhausted in the first few months of the war, and now the only fighters can only be deployed near Wuhan to defend this most important city at present, where is the surplus strength to protect them. Now that I see that most of the originally arrogant Japanese planes have been shot down, I feel how happy I am.

Just as everyone was cheering, not far from the militia group, several pairs of eyes were looking at the militia soldiers and those doctors and nurses who were standing up again to pack up their things to treat the wounded with curious eyes, one of them was a middle-aged officer with a resolute face who was well protected by a group of guards, and his eyes were full of curiosity when he looked at the busy doctors and nurses, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Go to someone, call the commander of the unit below to see me!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

A captain took the order, revealing the two golden stars on the officer's shoulders.

Watching the captain leave, the lieutenant general asked the officers around him, "Do any of you know the origin of the unit below?" ”

The surrounding officers shook their heads in unison, and a major said with a confused look on his face: "Chief Zhang, I can guarantee that I have never seen this unit before." If you look at them, not to mention their equipment, those German uniforms, helmets, leather boots, and the bedding, blankets, sapper shovels and even kettle lunch boxes on the soldiers' bodies are all equipped with authentic Wehrmacht, and I am sure that there is absolutely no such pure German army in the national army, even the teaching corps, which is called the seed army. ”

"Yes...... another major also said: "And the machine gun that the soldiers used for air defense just now, if I am not mistaken, it should be the MG34 machine gun of the new German equipment unit, this machine gun is currently limited to the equipment of the German army, and it is not exported, I really don't know where the commander of this army got so many good things." The big guy also saw it, the round of air salvo just now, the firepower net is really amazing! After saying that, the major let out a smack of envy from his mouth.

"What...... I have a chief who wants to see me."

On the road, Su Jin, who was busy directing the troops to pack up their things and prepare to go back on the road, looked at the captain in front of him and asked suspiciously, "Can you tell me which commander wants to see me?" ”

The captain nodded: "Of course, it is General Zhang Fakui, the commander-in-chief of the Second Corps, who wants to see you!" ”

"General Zhang Fakui!" Su Jin was surprised: "Why is Chief Zhang here?" ”

"It's not for you to know." Faced with Su Jin's question, the captain replied very bluntly.

Su Jin Xiaoxiao didn't take his attitude to heart, he turned his head and said a few words to the officers next to him, and then followed the captain to the hillside where Zhang Fakui was.

When Su Jin came to the hillside, he saw General Zhang Fakui surrounded by a group of people, he took a few steps forward and saluted loudly: "Su Jin, the head of the militia in Shigu County, Shandong, has seen Commander Zhang!" ”

"Shandong militia?" As soon as Su Jin's words fell, the faces of the officers around Zhang Fakui all grew mouths, as if they couldn't believe what they heard.

Even a dignified corps commander like Zhang Fakui, who had been through a hundred battles, asked in disbelief: "You...... Are you a vigilante group? Autonomous vigilantes? ”

"Exactly!" Su Jin replied with a straight face, and the soldier took out the order issued by the Ninth Theater Command and the Shandong Guerrilla Column Command from his pocket and handed it to him.

Zhang Fakui took the order and looked at it, and then looked at Su Jin's collar badge without a military rank. Only then did he smile bitterly and shake his head: "I can be regarded as an eye-opener today, if it is a national militia group...... No, even if only thirty percent of the militia groups have the strength of yours, Rikouan dares to peep at my land of China for half a point! Eyes opened...... It's an eye-opener! ”

Not to mention Zhang Fakui's emotion, a group of officers behind him also looked at each other, feeling that this elite unit in their eyes was just a local armed force, how could you make these officers who claim to be the elite of the national army embarrassed.

However, Zhang Fakui is also worthy of being an outstanding general, and he quickly recovered after being amazed, looking at Su Jin's eyes with irrepressible appreciation, and then said: "Commander Su, since you are under the order of Commander Zhang to support the Ninth War Zone, it is better to join my Eighth Army, all the units under my command can be entered in any unit you want, and I can also apply to the Ministry of Military Affairs to give you an official establishment number, what do you think?" ”

Listening to the olive branch thrown by Zhang Fakui, Su Jin shook his head with a smile: "I am grateful to Chief Zhang for his wrong love for the department, but as a Shandong militia group, the department has the responsibility of accepting apprentices to resist Japan. ”

Looking at Su Jin's gentle but firm expression, Zhang Fakui knew that this guy was by no means pretending to be high-minded, but really had this idea, he shook his head and persuaded: "Captain Su, it's good that you can have this idea." But your army is so well-equipped and the soldiers are well trained, it would be a pity if you just nested in that small place in Shigu County, don't you want to contribute to the great cause of the Anti-Japanese War? ”

Zhang Fakui's words had a faint implication of accusation, but Su Jin smiled: "The chief said that the redemption department cannot agree with this, and Chairman Jiang also said that there is no distinction between north and south, and people are not divided into old and young, and they all have the responsibility of accepting apprentices to resist the war." Whether it is in Shandong or other battlefields, as long as he fights against the Japanese, then he is contributing to the great cause of the War of Resistance, and this contribution is no matter how big or small. You're right? ”

What is Su Jin doing, before he crossed over, he was the master who ate by mouth, and after saying a reason, he said that the group of people in front of him were stunned.

"You......" Zhang Fakui shook his head helplessly, he found that the head of the militia was not only young, but also so neat that he was speechless.

He shook his head and smiled: "I didn't expect you to not only have a hand in war, but also have such a powerful mouth." Well, since you don't want to join the regular army sequence of the national army, then I won't be strong. But since you are here, then you have to listen to the orders of my ninth theater, due to the hasty retreat of the troops, the formation of many troops has been disrupted, and I see that the structure of your regiment is still very complete, then your regiment will take on the task of the queen of the palace, what do you think? ”
