Dai Li continued: "Here the students think that the navy under the command of Su Jin is particularly worth noting, and the fleet brought by the French includes an aircraft carrier, a battleship, three heavy cruisers, eight cruisers, four submarines and several supply ships, a fleet of this size plus a sufficient number of shore-based aircraft is enough to ensure the safety of the coastal areas of Zhejiang and Fujian, so the department thought that if Su Jin wanted to attack the northeast, he would definitely use this fleet. At least in terms of projecting troops, there is nothing more convenient than using warships. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Hearing this, the surrounding generals and officials all nodded in unison, and Dai Li's opinion was basically the same as what they thought. Today, nearly half of China's land has been lost. If you want to take the land route, the road from the Zhejiang River to the Northeast has almost been occupied by the Japanese army, the Third Army wants to fight over, I don't know if it will hit the year of the monkey, the only possibility is to go from the sea and the air, they feel terrible when they think about it by air, how many planes are needed to transport it day and night, so the only choice for Su Jin, who has a powerful fleet, is naturally to take the sea route.

However, it is not without people's doubts, as Chen Bui, the secretary general of the government and the minister of propaganda, raised his own doubts.

"Director Dai, as far as I know, Su Sansi's air force is very powerful. I have heard that the Third Army alone has more than 600 warplanes, and there are quite a few bombers and transport planes. ”

"Minister Chen, that's not how the battle was fought." Rao is Dai Li's person is deep, and when he heard Chen Bui's words, he couldn't help but cry and laugh, and quickly explained: "This time, the Third Army will dispatch at least more than 200,000 troops, do you think, how many people can be transported by one plane?" How many planes do I have to use if I transport it by plane alone? How many trips? Moreover, the ammunition, food, and supplies spent by more than 200,000 troops every day are a small mountain, and if they are transported by airplane, they will have to tire people to death. And the most important thing is that the Japanese themselves will watch the planes of the Third Army fly over their heads, they will definitely send planes to intercept them desperately, once the Japanese start to send fighters to intercept them, then no number of transport planes will be enough for them to shoot down, do you think this is possible? ”

Although the surrounding generals, including Chairman Jiang, did not speak, they all acquiesced to Dai Li's words, and Chen Bui could only shut up stupidly. In fact, none of the people present expected that in their opinion, the absurd possibility proposed by Chen Bui, a layman, was actually the closest to the plan proposed by Su Jin. However, this cannot be blamed on them, limited by China's own national strength and vision, they could never have imagined that in the near future, airlift has become the most direct embodiment of a country's military mobilization ability and troop projection ability.

However, Chen Bui thought that he was not a professional military personnel, so he was not angry after being refuted by Dai Li, but only asked Chairman Jiang after pondering for a while, "Commission, since the Third Army wants to concentrate on attacking the northeast, should we order all major theaters to take the initiative to attack the Japanese army in order to respond to their actions?" Even if the effect is not great, it would be good to be able to contain the Japanese troops in the Kannai? ”

"Hmph, isn't Su Sansi quite capable of fighting, isn't the Third Army known as the First Army of China, they still need us to help, you don't have to worry about these things, just leave it to Cixiu and Jingzhi to do it!" At the mention of the Third Army, Chairman Chiang's heart was filled with all kinds of envy, jealousy, and hatred. I envy the well-equipped troops, envy that he has the support of mysterious forces behind him, and hate his unruliness and disobedience to the orders of the central government.

"Yes!" Seeing Chairman Jiang's unkind expression, Chen Bui took two steps back and stopped talking, with his cleverness, he naturally knew that he had just made a stupid suggestion, with his own boss's attitude towards Su Jin, how could he take the initiative to help Su Jin.

Seeing Chen Bui deflated, Dai Li stood in a place where no one noticed and pouted secretly. In his opinion, Chen Bui's deflated was purely self-inflicted, didn't he know what his boss's attitude towards Su Jin was, he actually had such a bad idea, didn't he see that even Su Jin's hardcore ally Bai Chongxi was standing aside and pretending to be dumb?

However, Dai Li was not happy for long, and soon an attendant hurriedly pushed the door in and handed a telegram to Chairman Chiang.

"Smack!"

Soon a crunch sounded on the table.

"Niang Xipi...... What a bastard...... How dare he, how dare he do it! ”

Everyone in the office was shocked when they looked at Chairman Jiang, who slapped the telegram on the table, what made their boss so angry.

After a while, He Yingqin asked with some trepidation: "Chairman, what happened, why did you lose your temper so much?" ”

Chairman Jiang took a few deep breaths, calmed down for a while, and then threw the telegram to He Yingqin and shouted: "Look at it, look at it, this bastard actually came to report that because he wanted to recover the northeast, there were too many troops and he was nervous, and his national guard division suffered too many casualties due to the rotation of operations during this time, so he had to transfer the 1st and 2nd divisions of the national guard in Zhongtiao Mountain, the 2nd heavy artillery brigade, and all the air forces back to Zhejiang, while preparing for the next northeast offensive." Tell me, where do you still have a little bit of the big picture, this is completely a selfish warlord! ”

"Is this retribution?"

This is the voice of everyone present at this time, his boss just scolded Su Jin, and rejected Chen Bui's proposal to let the major theaters launch a feint attack on Japan to support Su Jin's Northeast Attack in a sarcastic tone, and in the blink of an eye, Su Jin sent such a telegram that made him thunderous, this is too much of a coincidence, right? Is it impossible to say that there is really retribution in this world?

Although everyone present is the elite and pillar of Huaxia, and they have always scoffed at the theory of gods and ghosts, they can't help but feel a little trembling in their hearts when they see what happened today.

It's just that although Chairman Jiang lost his temper, there was nothing he could do about Su Jin, who had already made up his mind to transfer the troops back. Now the battle to recover Zhongtiao Mountain has gradually come to an end, since Hu Lian led the 11th Division to recover Hengling Pass half a month ago, the Japanese army in Zhongtiao Mountain has been cut into two sections. At this time, what was there to be polite, Wei Lihuang, who had been in the horse for half his life, immediately commanded hundreds of thousands of people to launch a full-scale attack on the Japanese army without hesitation.

"Brigadier General Doolittle, can't you really leave until we recover Zhongtiao Mountain? One week...... No, it's better to stay for another three days! ”

At the Xiguan Airport on the outskirts of Xi'an, Wei Lihuang, who suddenly got the news, hurriedly drove over without caring about his busy military uniform, and found Doolittle, who was directing the bombers to load and equip the troops on the plane, hoping to persuade him to stay.

Doolittle shrugged his shoulders, "General Wei, I'm very sorry. I've been working very well with you these days, but this is an order from the headquarters of the Third Army, and there is also General Su's autograph on it, so I, as a person hired by him, naturally have to listen to him as the boss. ”

Wei Lihuang was anxious: "But you are a brigadier general in the United States, you have every right not to listen to his orders!" ”

"I don't have to listen to him, but this bomber force and transport plane force only obey his troops, and even if I order to stay, I'm afraid no one will listen to me, right?" Doolittle said the coldest reality, although Doolittle can yell at those flight students on weekdays, but that is based on the course of going to school, once Doolittle wants to disobey the orders of Su Jin and the headquarters to start a new stove, the first people to jump out and oppose it must be these flight students.

Looking at Wei Lihuang with a disappointed look on his face, Doolittle comforted: "General Wei, in fact, the current Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain has reached the final stage, even without the support of the Air Force, you will win the final victory of this battle." ”

Although he had long expected this result, Wei Lihuang was still very disappointed to go back. Looking at the convoy that disappeared in the distance, Doolittle shook his head helplessly.

In this general attack, Doolittle led a group of B-25 bombers and a group of Stuka dive bombers to bombard the Japanese army indiscriminately, and more than 100 M1 155mm heavy guns of the three heavy artillery regiments of the Second Heavy Artillery Brigade on the ground were pouring ammunition on the Japanese positions day and night. Heavy aerial bombs took turns. Pillboxes were destroyed by heavy artillery, artillery positions were burned to scrap metal by incendiary bombs dropped by the air force, the resistance of the Japanese army began to collapse under the furious offensive, so far, the Japanese army has lost nearly 100,000 people, and most of Zhongtiao Mountain has also fallen into the hands of the national army, in this case, Su Jin's withdrawal of troops has not had much impact on the battle situation in Zhongtiao Mountain, but during this time, the national army, which has been accustomed to attacking with the support of aircraft artillery, suddenly lost this support, I didn't get used to it for a while.

Shaking his head and throwing away the distractions in his mind, Doolittle shouted loudly: "Young men, hurry up, let's get ready to go back!" ”

In the car on the way back, Sun Lianzhong, commander of the Second Army of the First Theater, comforted: "Chief Wei, you don't have to be too sad. Although Su Sansi transferred all his men back, but now the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain is also coming to an end, after more than two months of additional troops, our troops in Zhongtiao Mountain have reached more than 400,000, which can completely crush the Japanese defenders! ”

Wei Lihuang glanced at Sun Lianzhong and said with a wry smile: "Imitation Lu, how can I not know that the victory of Zhongtiao Mountain is in my hands now, I just see so many heavy artillery and planes flying back to Zhejiang River, and I am reluctant to do it!" You've seen the power of these heavy guns and planes these days, and what it's like when hundreds of heavy guns fire together, right? In the Battle of Taierzhuang, our 300,000 troops fought fiercely with 50,000 men of the 5th and 10th divisions of the Japanese army for a month, and annihilated 20,000 enemies at the cost of more than 50,000 casualties, which has been hailed as an unprecedented victory since the War of Resistance Against Japan. But this time we suffered less than 50,000 casualties, but we won a great victory of 100,000 enemies, and the reason for this is that you don't need to say that you know it, right? ”

This time it was Sun Lianzhong's turn to smile bitterly, to be honest, he has been a soldier for more than 20 years, and he prides himself on being well-informed on weekdays, but he has never cooperated with a unit like the Third Army. He clearly remembered that when he commanded the troops to attack Huanqu half a month ago, he was stubbornly blocked by the Japanese army, and a wing of the Japanese army condescendingly took advantage of the geographical advantage to shoot desperately at the attacking troops, resulting in heavy casualties among the attacking troops, and he had no heavy artillery support.

In desperation, he tried to call air support, and only ten minutes later, a squadron of B-25 bombers flew in, and they dropped nearly twenty tons of incendiary bombs on the Japanese position, and the flames burned the mountains in a radius of more than ten square kilometers, and the rolling flames could be felt even from a distance of several kilometers, and finally when he gave the order to attack again, only a battalion of the vanguard reported that the Japanese troops on the position had been burned to ashes by incendiary bombs, They occupied the Japanese positions almost by walking, and the positions were full of quartz stones that had been burned into glass. After the war, when Sun Lianzhong stepped on that hill, he saw countless Japanese soldiers burned to the size of babies and charred corpses, a scene he still can't forget. It was then that he realized that in the face of some lethal weapons, the role of personal bravery and individual quality was already very small.

Thinking of this, Sun Lianzhong didn't know how to comfort his chief, so he had to say: "Sir, we don't have to envy others too much, we can't envy either, this is why everyone has their own fate." ”

"Alas......"

There was a soft sigh in the car, and then there was no more sound......

Su Jin's actions in Zhejiang naturally aroused the vigilance of the Japanese army, which had already regarded him as the number one enemy, although the spy network headed by Nanzao Yunzi was cracked, but Japan then sent a large number of spies to infiltrate the Zhejiang River, although the military intelligence bureau led by Lu Jian wantonly arrested Japanese spies, but there were still many fish that escaped capture, although they could no longer blend into the high-level of the Third Army, but it was not a problem to inquire about some ordinary news. Naturally, the Third Army's recent big moves could not be concealed from their eyes.

"Yo Xi, is this Su Jin crazy? He even had to expand five infantry divisions and withdraw the troops in Fujian, did he want to turn the whole of Zhejiang into a big military camp? In the headquarters of the Huaxia Dispatch Army in Nanjing, General Yan Jun looked at the information sent below and exclaimed. (To be continued.) )
