Chapter 243: Soul Casting Defense
In order to let the two adults feel the dawn of victory more intuitively, Jiang Haoran brought them into the core area of the base, as soon as the car entered the tunnel, they were startled by this huge underground transportation network, as the car took them to visit the eighteen bunker groups of the base, although it has not been completely completed, but the momentum of the meat grinder has been formed, when the two came out, as if they were still dreaming, it was too incredible, not to mention this ingenious idea, in such a short time, To build such a huge project into this Cheng dΓΉ, in their opinion, this is something that they can't even think of, and Jiang Haoran, a fledgling young man, actually did it, and it can be called perfect, the two are also elites in a hundred battles, but they have to give Jiang Haoran a thumbs up for his talent for war.
What Jiang Haoran wanted, obviously not their praise, told them very bluntly, the purpose of bringing them to the base was just for the 200,000 ** soldiers on the front line, and he didn't want them to make senseless sacrifices for a political battle, and he also implored the high-level to make a decision as soon as possible, retreat to the upper line, fight the enemy step by step, and gain a month and a half for the completion of the base, and leave the rest to him to do.
"Okay, you put on such a big lineup, it's not for people to see, we will definitely go back and tell the chairman, and we will do what you want!" Chen Chen got out of the car, straightened his military uniform, looked at Bai Chongxi and said.
Bai Chongxi knew that Chen Chen was waiting for his approval, although the two had different factions and had different political views, but on this issue, Bai Chongxi did not want to sacrifice 200,000 soldiers senselessly: "I think it's okay, this is the real 'Eastern Maginot Line', and the little devil should be informed." β
The so-called "Maginot Line of the East" refers to the national defense fortification system of the Nationalist Government in Beijing, Shanghai, and Hangzhou, which began construction in 1934, and in that year four divisions of the regular army, three engineer regiments, and a number of military police, mobilized more than 100,000 civilian workers. It cost hundreds of millions of yuan and was completed in the spring of 1937. The total length of the defense line was 110 kilometers, and thousands of large and small bunkers, light and heavy machine gun positions, artillery positions, permanent and semi-permanent fortifications were built, and a number of fortress-type fortifications, above-ground and underground shelters, ammunition depots, and anti-aircraft fortifications were built. In order to ensure the sturdiness of the ground fortifications, the engineering department purchased expensive cement and steel reinforcement materials from abroad to ensure that the fortifications could effectively resist the bombardment of 500 to 1,000 pounds. However, after the Battle of Songhu, hundreds of thousands of troops retreated in an orderly manner, and there were no defenders on the defensive line, and even appeared, and finally the defenders came, but they could not find the key to enter the fortifications.
"Hehe, Deputy Chief Bai, don't mention the 'Eastern Maginot Line', even the French 'Maginot Line' is unreliable, at best it is just a rout defense line, I think it's still called the 'Soul Casting Line', I want to use this line of defense to cast the soul of my Nanshan Independent Army!" Jiang Haoran said.
"Okay, there is momentum, 'Soul Casting Defense Line', hehe, this is also very in line with your Jiang Haoran's character, arrogant and domineering!" Bai Chongxi said with a smile.
"Ah, Vice Chief Bai, am I such a person in your eyes?"
"Huh!"
"Haha!"
The two laughed heartily.
"Deputy Chief Bai, Commander Chen, I'm under such a lot of pressure, let's see if you can give me any support!" Seeing that the two were happy, Jiang Haoran would never give up the opportunity to reach out.
"Why, I just praised you twice, and I wanted to climb up the pole? What do you want, don't ask for money? Bai Chongxi said vigilantly, Jiang Haoran's shamelessness he had also heard of.
"Look at what you said, like my name is Hanako? I want you to ask for 2,000 people! β
"Two thousand? It's not that hard, I'll give you five thousand! Bai Chongxi waved his hand and said very proudly.
"Ahem, Deputy Chief Bai, you have to count when you speak, these two thousand are not ordinary soldiers, you all know my snow wolf special combat team, more than 20 people can turn Wuhan upside down, what I want is this kind of top soldier king!"
"Hey, you kid set me a trap! Where am I going to find you such a person? Why don't you think I'll do it? Bai Chongxi slapped Jiang Haoran on the head as he spoke.
"Yes, Commander Jiang, this person really can't be found? Now whoever is a good soldier in his hand does not hide and cover him as a baby bump. Chen Chen seconded.
Jiang Haoran smiled hippie: "Two, I will make an idea with you, send an order to the army of the whole country, hold a big competition for the whole army, each division will send a hundred individuals to participate, and the one who wins the championship will send 10,000 oceans, see who still doesn't take out the things at the bottom of the box?" I'll send someone to choose two or three thousand of them, and that's about the same. β
"Hey, what kind of bad idea are you doing, co-authoring us to be abducted and deceived like you?" This time, even Chen Chen wanted to knock Jiang Haoran on the head, but let him run away, and he didn't even look back.
Chen Chen and Bai Chongxi looked at each other and smiled, and Bai Chongxi said: "Commander Chen, don't say it, this kid really has this idea." β
"What, you want to help him?" Chen Chen's face was not shocked, he didn't know how happy he was, after all, he was his son-in-law, scolding and scolding, of course, he also hoped to help him.
"Help, why not!"
The two chatted about what they saw at the base, waiting for the lady and her party to come out, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was estimated that they would have to leave.
Not long after, Mrs. Jiang took the family members of the four major consortia, and the group drove out in a mighty way.
When the family members of the four major consortia saw the two of them, they only said that they were not authentic, and when they asked, they found out that Jiang Haoran actually said that they gave him the idea, first borrow some military salaries from the four major consortia, and then pay them back when the government has money. Where will this government be rich? They didn't want to, but Mrs. Jiang agreed, and they had to obediently take out the money, and a few people actually scraped together 200,000 ocean silver tickets, which only made their hearts tremble.
Chen Chen and Bai Chongxi were directly dumbfounded, Bai Chongxi even pointed to Jiang Haoran, who was hiding behind everyone and scolding with a wicked smile: "Little bastard, don't hide, we sent you such a good errand from afar, we didn't catch anything for you, and we almost ate your green vegetable and tofu feast, everyone let you cut a knife, can you really do it?" No wonder Wang Shihe asked me to be careful, I walked around you together, and I really peeled off my skin! β
When everyone heard that they didn't understand, they immediately laughed, Mrs. Jiang laughed even more, what kind of person Jiang Haoran is, no one knows her clearly, when he opened his mouth to the four major consortia, Mrs. was clear in her heart, but in order to understand his urgent need, she still helped him speak, and of course she didn't forget to break the siege with him at this moment.
"Okay, okay, Haoran, you have to work hard, don't let down the concerns of these elders!"
