Seeing Commander Liu's hesitation, even a blind man could see that this guy had some concerns in his heart.

However, there are many things that are better explained.

Lao Jiang reminded someone lightly, "I'm very optimistic about you." Although I don't understand military affairs, I am more relieved that you will be the commander."

"Knowing how to make good use of people?"

Liu Yun was a little ignorant, but in his heart, he still had some malicious speculation, and seriously suspected that Lao Jiang had taken a fancy to his little family background and wanted him to pay to feed the 50,000 mechanized army (United Group Army).

Commander Liu smiled, "Thank you, Principal, for the compliment." The students are immoral and incompetent, and they are a little too busy to take care of a western Sichuan county."

"If it weren't for the fact that my father was the commissioner of Sichuanxi, I am afraid that Sichuanxi would have complained a long time ago."

However, Lao Jiang didn't have the time to talk nonsense with him, and he was trying to give him a simple answer, after all, the front line was tense during the war, and the battle situation was changing rapidly, and he himself was far away in the small camp in Nanjing, in case anything happened, he also needed to be able to deal with it in time.

Unexpectedly, Commander Liu smiled wryly, and promptly proposed the best candidate for commander, which was the commander of the 201st Division of the United Group Army, Major General Hu Lian and Hu Boyu.

"Hu Lian?"

Lao Jiang frowned, seemed to be a little surprised, and even glanced at Liu Yun with some suspicion.

He asked with some seriousness, "Why do you like him?" This person is not only unruly, but also a gambling man, and has a soft spot for money, which is inappropriate."

Such an embarrassing comment made Commander Liu dumbfounded.

You must know that no one is perfect, even Yue Fei only said that "military generals are not afraid of death, and civil officials are not greedy for money", but he did not say that "civil officials are not afraid of death, and military generals are not greedy for money".

No wonder Hu Lian would have bad luck in the early days, it turned out that Lao Jiang had a moral and clean habit, and he was most disgusted with the misconduct of his subordinates, and if it was not a last resort, he would definitely not reuse this person.

In desperation, Liu Yun had no choice but to change his way to advise, "Principal, now that the Japanese are approaching step by step, not only is the war in the Songhu area becoming more and more intense, but even Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong and other places are also in danger and precarious.

"Don't you think what this person did is familiar, how similar it is to Li Guang and Huo Qubing in the Han Dynasty?"

"Feng Tang is easy to be old, Li Guang is difficult to seal?"

Lao Jiang suddenly remembered a famous saying from ancient times, blurted it out unconsciously, and then fell silent.

Li Guang of the Han Dynasty had outstanding military achievements in his life, but because of his free and easy nature, he was excluded by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and his ministers above the court, and he couldn't even get a Guan Neihou before he died.

Many people say that he was born at the wrong time.

This is not the case, as can be seen from the history of the changes of the Li family after Li Guang's death.

Li Guang's son Li Kang, a marquis of the Han Dynasty, was shot at will, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't care about these at all, but colluded with the ministers, and finally failed.

And Li Guang's grandson Li Ling, once led 5,000 infantry to attack the Xiongnu Shan Yu camp at night, so that the Xiongnu army was frightened overnight, killed and wounded, and finally although besieged by tens of thousands of cavalry, he still walked to the edge of the Great Wall.

Such a heroic and heroic man, even if he was captured by the Huns, was still glorious despite defeat.

However, the emperor and his ministers actually believed the rumors, and exterminated the Li family in the name of imagining that Li Ling had defected to the enemy.

Jiang Weizuo is the first person in the Republic of China, and according to ancient sayings, he can be regarded as an emperor, and a tragedy like Li Guang should naturally be taken as a warning.

However, Lao Jiang would not admit his mistake on the spot, so he quickly changed the topic, "Yicheng, you mean Hu Boyu, who can be compared to Huo Quzhi in the Han Dynasty, is he so powerful?" ”

Liu Yun nodded very seriously.

Although Huo Qubing in the Han Dynasty was brilliant, he was also a dissolute person, most fond of fine wine, beautiful women and food, etc., and had a kind of persistent fanaticism for extravagant life.

Since Hu Boyu has the talent to get sick, then the little problem on his body is not a big deal, after all, a handsome man covers a hundred ugliness, and even the famous general Wang Jian of the Warring States also has a small problem of accumulating money, after Lao Jiang confirmed that it was correct, he waved his pen and immediately appointed Hu Lian as the commander of the 45th Group Army.

Before Lao Jiang put down his pen and stamped it, a staff officer of a major general sent a front-line battle report.

This battle report is a battle report on the Songhu front, and our army and the Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai have been fighting for more than ten hours, and both sides have suffered heavy casualties and corpses all over the field.

Fortunately, the 87th Division of German Machinery has regained Hujiang University, and the 88th Division of German Machinery has recovered Shanghai Patriotic Girls' School and Zhizhi University, and our army is launching an attack on Hongkou Park and Jiangwan Road Japanese Army Headquarters, and it is expected to soon recapture Wuzhou Cemetery, Baoshan Bridge, Bazi Bridge and other key points.

There was a gain so quickly, and Lao Jiang was also overjoyed.

The committee no longer greeted each other, and immediately returned to the operational command room, so he and a group of senior staff members studied around the sand table, and began to arrange the troops nervously, judging that the Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai would stubbornly resist to the end, and once the overseas Chinese were recruited as soldiers, the number would be doubled to 15,000.

Considering that the Japanese army not only had strong fortifications, but also a large offshore fleet that could be supported at any time, it was probably difficult to take the Japanese concession in a short period of time with Zhang Zhizhong's two German armor divisions.

After a period of discussion with the senior staff officers, Chiang decided to send a number of additional reinforcements to the front.

For example, the 36th German Division, and the 10th and 14th independent artillery regiments, these two artillery regiments are actually heavy artillery regiments, each with 16 150-mm heavy guns and 32 122-mm heavy guns.

In addition, in view of the rampant use of Japanese seaplanes, Nanjing will also secretly send additional fighters to attack the Japanese fleet in the early morning of 14 August.

These fighters will depart from Wuhu, Yangzhou, Xuzhou, and other air bases, and even if they cannot blow up enemy ships, they hope to curb their arrogance.

At the same time, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Yunnan, Guangxi, Hunan, Guangdong, and other places have asked the Nanjing Military Commission to fight and demand that their elite troops be transferred to the increasingly fierce Battle of Songhu.

This incident made Lao Jiang even more worried.

Because most of the above-mentioned troops are "pure infantry" units, it is of little use to be transferred to the front line, and most of them will be lost immediately if they are bombarded by Japanese planes and artillery.

If they ignore it, they are afraid that these troops will be separated from Germany.

Looking at the hesitant Lao Jiang, Commander Liu, who was watching and studying, couldn't help but straighten his chest and immediately stood straight, as if he was receiving a medal.

Someone was secretly refreshed in his heart, compared with the miscellaneous armies in these places, this is the gap between Hongguoguo, before the Battle of Songhu broke out, he was invited to Nanjing by Lao Jiang to discuss important military and political matters with him, what kind of treatment is this?

This is the treatment of their own people, and the miscellaneous army cannot enjoy it.

Why is this so special?

Isn't it because the West Sichuan Arsenal can produce aircraft cannons, and it doesn't need to be allocated a penny by the Nanjing government.

Speaking of Commander Liu himself, as soon as he received the military order from the Nanjing Military Commission, he immediately sent an advance regiment to Nanjing, although the number was not large, it was indeed the elite of the elite, there were more than 100 fighters alone, nearly 100 new heavy artillery, and a number of tanks and antiaircraft artillery.

Lao Chiang soon telegraphed to various places and agreed to their request for war.

While highly praising the military and civilians in various localities for their patriotism and resistance against Japan, he also suggested that they should be ready to participate in the war at any time, and that these "tigers" would be the second echelon to rush to the aid of the Songhu battlefield.

Because the first echelon has already left, and it is all the descendants of the Central Army.

For example, Gu Zhutong's department, Hu Zongnan's department, and Jiang Ding's cultural department, which served as the general reserve, as well as Zhang Fakui's department and Liu Jianxu's department, which served as the defense department of the right wing of the Songhu battlefield, and Chen Cheng's department, Luo Zhuoying's department, and Xue Yue's department, which served as the defense of the left flank, were all well-trained and newly-equipped main forces.

By the time these urgent matters were put to a moment, it was already the dead of night.

Jiang Weizao dragged his tired body and prepared to go to the rest room for a short rest, in preparation for dealing with new emergencies.

However, Liu Yun still had important things to discuss, so immediately after Lao Jiang, the attendant officers just wanted to stop him, but Lao Jiang stopped him in time, smiled and nodded to Commander Liu, and asked him to go to the lounge for an interview together.

Seeing the extremely tired Jiang Weizao, Liu Yun also knew that now was not a good time to talk about things, but what he talked about was a fatal matter, so he had to talk about it again, and after a little groaning, he took out a dose of primary treatment and asked the Weizao to take it immediately.

Lao Jiang didn't hesitate much, and drank it in one gulp.

Seeing someone who was surprised, Lao Jiang, who gradually became refreshed, felt a little funny, "Are you very puzzled, and even thinking, aren't you afraid that there is poison in this potion?" ”

"Hehe, you're a man."

"It's really shrewd for a while, confused for a while, if I can't trust you, how can I let you stay by my side and listen to the deployment of the Songhu war throughout the whole process."

"Have you ever thought that once these confidential information are leaked and obtained by devils, the consequences may be unimaginable, and ten Chiang Kai-shek's lives will not be exchanged."

Trust is the greatest reward.

Liu Yun was immediately convinced, and he didn't go around in circles with Lao Jiang, he directly raised three fingers and said in a deep voice, "Principal, the students are a long story short."

"If the students are not mistaken, the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet is coming, and their landing force may take a few days to prepare, but the Japanese air force is different, and it cannot be ruled out that from tomorrow, the Japanese army will launch large-scale air raids on Nanjing, Shanghai and Hangzhou."

"So the problem of air defense, is our biggest problem at the moment."

"The West Sichuan Arsenal has secretly introduced radar technology, and has now manufactured four air defense radars, which can carry out early warning and detection of airspace, with an effective range of 220 kilometers."

"The students suggested that it is best to place these four radars separately to form an early warning network in the 'Nanjing-Shanghai-Hangzhou' triangle."

"For example, it will be placed on commanding heights such as Jiulong Mountain in Hangzhou Bay, Purple Mountain in Nanjing, Pudong in Shanghai, and Longchi Mountain in Taihu Lake, and an air force command and early warning center will be set up in a small camp in Nanjing to coordinate and command the air defense of the Songhu Theater and the problems of air force operations."

"Air defense radar?"

Lao Jiang exclaimed in a low voice, he has been paying attention to this epoch-making high technology for a long time, but as far as he knows, although developed countries such as Europe and the United States started earlier, in terms of the current progress, they are far from reaching the stage of maturity and practicality, and it is expected that it will take five or six years at the earliest.

Regarding Lao Jiang's question, Liu Yun had to explain slightly.

This guy said that he himself was an angel for a while, and as for the source of the technology, it was politely attributed to the Germans.

As early as 1933, the British radar laboratory made a breakthrough.

In 1934, Britain and the United States secretly exchanged radar technology.

In 1935, the Germans also made a breakthrough in radar technology, and even began to build a radar early warning network on German soil.

A burst of nonsense made Lao Jiang into a fog.

As soon as an enemy plane enters the detection range, it will be immediately caught by the radar and can be conveyed to the "air command warning center" in a timely manner, so that the Huaxia Air Force can arrange troops in a targeted formation, and can even wait for work to fight an ambush of the enemy air force.

Radar is indeed a multiplier of the combat power of the Air Force.

After making a brief comparison on the map, Lao Jiang thought that Commander Liu's radar layout plan was too petty, and suggested that the point of Purple Mountain should be retained, because the mountain is as high as 450 meters above sea level, and the field of vision is wide enough to overlook the southeast airspace, which is the best radar placement point near Nanjing.

However, the terrain in the Pudong area of Shanghai is too low, and it is recommended to change it to Sheshan in Songjiang District, because it is located on the outskirts of Shanghai and is still the commanding height near downtown Shanghai.

Given the size and abruptness of the radar, it would be a great place to place the radar in other places, and both the Purple Mountain and Sheshan Observatory are the best places to place them.

As for the remaining two, don't waste them, and you can even think a little further.

For example, Tiantai Mountain (1100 meters above sea level) in Zhejiang, and Tianmu Mountain (1500 meters above sea level) near Hangzhou, especially Tianmu Mountain is located in the suburbs of Hangzhou, which has good concealment and practicality.

And most of these high-altitude mountain forests are inaccessible wilderness.

If you place the air defense early warning radar in these places, you are not afraid of being mistakenly hit and identified, and at the same time, you can take it by surprise, even if the devil thinks of the problem with the radar, you can't find them for a while.

More crucially, the enemy's bomber group deployed at Taiwan's Songshan airfield, whether it is supporting the landing operation in the Songhu area or rushing to the urban areas around Hangzhou and Nanjing, will pass through these two airspace.
