Zhou Yusheng is a confident person, and confident people are usually very proud, whether this pride is on the surface or in the bones, it is a kind of pride. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As Zhou Yusheng's boss, Su Jin trusts him very much. This trust is not only in words, but also in daily work and life. In the Third Army, Zhou Yusheng is a well-deserved No. 2 person. On weekdays, the training of hundreds of thousands of people in the Third Group Army, the combat plan of the troops, the drafting of the reply to Shangfeng and the future planning of the troops were all handed over to Su Jin for review after Zhou Yusheng had planned them, and Su Jin generally would not refuse the report submitted by Zhou Yusheng, which was also the main reason why he could sit in the second position.

Before Su Jin left Hangzhou, he specially convened a high-level military meeting, at which Su Jin had made it clear that during his time in the Northeast, everything in Zhejiang was decided by Zhou Yusheng, and if he encountered a major event that could not be decided, he would send him a telegram.

It stands to reason that Su Jin has already decided that Zhou Yusheng should be familiar with these things that he has been used to doing in the past, but this is not the case. In less than a week, Zhou Yusheng felt that the command system, which had been very proficient in the past, was a little stiff, and although the people below were doing the same thing, it was a little more jerky, and there was a faint reluctance in the people below when they carried out the orders issued by the headquarters.

Of course, this is not to say that the troops below refuse to carry out the orders of the headquarters, but many division and brigade commanders and even generals will always ask inadvertently before carrying out the order: "Does Commander Su know about this?" Or what does Chief Su mean? ”

It was only then that Zhou Yusheng realized that the guy who seemed to have nothing to do in the headquarters in the past and walked around all day long had such a high prestige in this group army. The reason why the generals below were resistant to the order issued by the headquarters was only because the name of one person was omitted from the signature column of the order.

And the following emotions reached a climax two days ago, when he learned that the airport in Huludao, where Su Jin was located, was paralyzed due to heavy rain, and all planes could not take off, Chu Yuan, the commander-in-chief of the air force, continuously asked for permission to personally lead the transport plane to Huludao to forcibly land, and this risky plan was of course vetoed by Zhou Yusheng. But Chu Yuan not only did not give up, but made requests one after another, which also made Zhou Yusheng very angry.

Staying behind the desk and pondering for a long time, Zhou Yusheng suddenly laughed, and said to himself helplessly: "No wonder the ancients said that those who are good at fighting have no great achievements, it seems that to subdue these unruly guys, Chief Su has to come out, but if I send such a telegram, will those guys be scolded by Chief Su?" But don't care about them, don't you die and don't die! ”

Just when Zhou Yusheng was criticizing his boss in his office, Qiu Lihua, an operational staff officer, looked at this telegram Su Jin's brows furrowed slightly.

This telegram is a little different from the usual telegrams, because there is a conspicuous red arrow in the upper left corner of this telegram, which indicates that it is a very urgent telegram. The telegram level of the Third Army was divided into three types, one was the usual telegram, and the other two were from one red arrow and two red arrows, which corresponded to the meaning of very urgent and one hundred thousand urgent. If it is 100,000 urgent, it is related to the life and death of the entire Third Army, or poses a serious threat to Su Jin's life and safety, as long as this kind of telegram is received, no matter what Su Jin is doing or what he is doing, the telegram must be sent to Su Jin's hands as soon as possible.

Su Jin opened the telegram and read the telegram inside at a glance. This telegram was not long, only a few dozen words of chat, but the content in it surprised Su Jin.

"Yesterday, the Japanese Navy dispatched a fleet of four aircraft carriers, two battleships, four heavy cruisers, and 18 destroyers to the coast of China. I suspect that this mission is related to our attack on the Northeast! ”

"Good guy, it's really here!" Su Jin, who was taken aback, gasped, such a huge fleet is not a joke. Although the telegram also said that he did not know the clear mission of the other party, he knew on his knees that such a huge fleet must be coming for his own fleet, and the fleet led by Laborde is now on the way back, and if he really encounters this behemoth, he is afraid that his hard work in the past few years will be suspended.

"Sir, what's wrong?" Seeing the ugly expression on Su Jin's face, Qiu Lihua immediately asked.

"See for yourself." Su Jin casually handed him the message.

Qiu Lihua was also taken aback when he saw it, and immediately said: "Sir, it's better for us to quickly inform General Pollard and let them avoid it quickly, otherwise it will be troublesome if they collide head-on with the Japanese fleet." ”

Su Jin said quietly: "It turns out that you are not optimistic about our fleet?" ”

Qiu Lihua smiled bitterly: "Sir, if it weren't for the minister's ambition to destroy his prestige, if the fleet that he had painstakingly managed for more than half a century was so easy to deal with, our Beiyang Naval Division would not have been completely annihilated by them back then." The department thought that if we wanted to fight the Japanese head-on, we would have to develop for at least another 30 years, after all, some things could not be made up for by courage alone. ”

"Hmm!"

Su Jin nodded, Qiu Lihua's words are very pertinent, ten years of the army, one hundred years of the navy, the construction cycle of the navy is long, and the return time is long, this is a well-known thing, it does not mean that you can become a naval power after buying a bunch of advanced warships, if you can build a strong navy so simply, India in the future will not spend so much money to buy a lot of ships, but it is still ridiculed.

After thinking about it, Su Jin said to Qiu Lihua: "You immediately forward this telegram to Lieutenant General Laborade and tell him whether to fight or not...... It's up to him to decide how he should fight, and I won't interfere with it, but I hope he won't forget the naval spirit he once talked about. ”

"Naval spirit?" Qiu Lihua looked at Su Jin with a puzzled look in his eyes.

Su Jin ignored him, and just said lightly: "You don't have to worry about this, you just have to do what I say." ”

"Understood!"

Seeing Su Jin's faint eyes, Qiu Lihua immediately realized that his words just now had been exceeded, and the commander gave the order, but was questioned by a small combat staff officer. That is, Chief Su has a good temper and doesn't care about himself, if he were to change to other national army troops, if he dared to question the commander like this, I am afraid that he would have been driven out by the angry commander long ago.

Seeing Qiu Lihua go out with a little trepidation, Su Jin shook his head slightly. This Qiu Lihua is smart, but some of them are not big or small, that is, he from later generations does not pay attention to these, if he were a general of another country, I am afraid that he would have given him small shoes to wear.

But it was just a trivial matter, he quickly stood up, walked to the wall and opened the curtains, looking at the huge military map on the wall in a daze......

When the night covered the sky again, most of the people had fallen asleep, but there was still a place in Huludao that was still brightly lit, and this place was the airport in Huludao.

At this time, Huludao Airport was illuminated by countless torches, and countless figures were busy on the huge airport, many of them were walking hurriedly with dustpans full of sand, some were several people pushing stones almost as high as people to level the land with difficulty, and some were desperately digging drainage ditches to drain the water on the airport.

Among these busy people, there are men, women, old and young, but no matter men, women and children, all of them are doing this work desperately, and no one dares to be lazy, because the bloody corpses that were hung up near the airport have educated them with facts about the fate of lazy people.

These people working at the airport were none other than the immigrants of the Manchurian Pioneer Regiment who were captured by the 1st Panzer Division during the Battle of Jinzhou. Moreover, Su Jin also gave a death order, if the airport could not be repaired within two days, then these immigrants would all be shot on the spot.

In order to survive, these immigrants who came to China from Japan across the ocean with the dream of making a fortune have worked hard one by one. Of course, during this period, it was not that no one wanted to make trouble, but those who made trouble eventually all turned into corpses hanging on wooden poles, and the one responsible for carrying out this task was the Japanese National Salvation Army who came to the Northeast with Su Jin.

On a dirt slope at the airport, Taro Kanhara, dressed in a high-class tweed general uniform and wearing the rank of Osa, is sitting on a chair with a small table in front of him with two side dishes, a bottle of sake and a pack of Camel brand cigarettes.

Since Jia took refuge in Su Jin, Taro Guan Yuan felt as if he had fallen into a honey pot as soon as he found out. In the original Japanese army, he was just a small military commander, but now he is the supreme commander of a team of thousands of troops, as long as he says a word, these people can die for him, this feeling of manipulating the life and death of others is really great.

Of course, it would be better if General Su could transfer his deputy, the annoying Iwasaki Taro. However, Taro Guan Yuan also knew that this was basically impossible, and this Taro Iwasaki made it clear that he was sent by General Su to restrain him, but he had no complaints about this, and he would do the same if he had changed.

After all, as the Third Army continued to win battles, Taro Guanhara, the former commander of the Japanese army, slowly changed from a second lieutenant to a lieutenant, a lieutenant, and until now Dazuo. The size of the Protector Army is also getting bigger and bigger, slowly developing from the original hundreds of people to the scale of nearly 4,000 people with three infantry brigades, Guan Yuan Taro is already very satisfied, and now his biggest wish is to follow the Allied side represented by General Su to defeat Japan, and he can return to his hometown in beautiful clothes.

I took a sip of sake with a "squeak", picked up a piece of luncheon meat and put it in my mouth and chewed it slowly, a strong aroma mixed with lard poured into my lips and tongue, this slippery feeling was really good. After putting down the chopsticks, Taro Kanhara burped and looked at the Japanese immigrants working nearby by the light, and a trace of disdain crossed his mouth. Most of these untouchables are peasants, ruffians and bankrupts who can't get along in Japan, and one by one they dream of coming to China to make a fortune, but now they have been caught by the general, and they have suffered enough. The general has spoken, if the airport is not repaired before dark tomorrow, all these people will have to be executed, these people after learning the news are all like clockwork on the foot, no one dares to make trouble anymore, these untouchables are really cheap!

At this moment, a voice rang out next to him.

"Guan Yuanjun, you really have Yaxing!"

Hearing this voice, Taro Kanhara's originally pleasant expression immediately changed, as uncomfortable as if he had just swallowed a goshawk. He turned around and showed a reluctant smile on his face: "Ah, it turned out to be Iwasaki-kun, you are really a rare guest, do you want to have a few drinks together?" ”

The person who came was Taro Iwasaki, Taro Kanhara's deputy, and the former Japanese major general showed a smiling smile: "Hehe, I won't drink it, General Su has confessed, if the task cannot be completed before dark tomorrow, all these people will be executed." Although it doesn't matter to me whether these untouchables live or die, after all, they are still our compatriots, and it is better to help if we can! ”

"Yo Xi, Iwasaki-kun is really kind-hearted!" Although Taro Kanhara was tired of seeing Taro Iwasaki's smiling expression, he still showed a compassionate look on the surface and said: "Actually, how could I ever want to see them die, after all, it is thousands of lives!" ”

"Of course!" The corners of Taro Iwasaki's mouth couldn't help twitching, but he was secretly scolding the other party's hypocrisy in his heart, don't look at this guy's words so compassionate, but nearly half of the corpses on the airport were shot by Taro Kanhara himself, and there was no mercy when he killed people.

After the two chatted for a while about nonsense without nutrition, Iwasaki Taro said, "Guan Yuan-kun, that's the case. I've come to you because there's something I'd like to discuss with you. ”

"Oh, what's the matter, Iwasaki-kun just say it!" Although Taro Kanhara has raised his vigilance in his heart, he is still smiling on the surface.

Iwasaki Taro coughed lightly and said, "That's the case, didn't the general send us a batch of prisoners of war from Jinzhou a few days ago?" I would like to ask Guan Yuanjun to assign a group of prisoners of war to the third brigade, I don't know what Guan Yuanjun wants? ”

"Transferred to the Third Brigade?" As soon as Taro Kanhara heard this, his small eyes immediately began to narrow...... (To be continued.) )
