At the Huiji Mountain station, Zhang Lei and Wang Qiang shook hands warmly.

Wang Qiang looked at Zhang Lei and smiled and said, "If you look for me, there must be a big battle to fight, tell me where you are going to fight?" ”

Zhang Leilang smiled and said, "Where to fight?" Pull out the thorn in the eye, but as soon as this thorn in the eye is pulled, the military deployment of the enemy and us in the entire Zhejiang-Jiangxi battlefield will be reshuffled. ”

Wang Qiang smiled and said: "Do you want to conquer Shengzhou and occupy all the Shengzhou areas?" ”

Zhang Lei nodded and said, "The hero sees the same thing. ”

Wang Qiang sighed and said: "Your ministry has captured Shengzhou once, but later withdrew, are you sure that you now have the conditions to hold Shengzhou?" ”

Zhang Lei smiled and said, "Tell me what you think?" ”

Wang Qiang said: "At least two divisions must guard the Ningbo line, two divisions guard the Jinhua Wuyi line, and one division guard Huijishan. Your divisions in Taizhou and Wenzhou cannot be moved, because that is your southern gate, and once the main force is transferred, the Japanese can easily capture Wenzhou from the sea. If Wenzhou loses, Taizhou will lose. ”

Zhang Lei smiled and said: "It seems that you treat my army as something else." ”

Wang Qiang sighed and said: "Of course I can assist you in defending the Ningbo line, but you should also know that the strength of our department is limited, and it is okay to fight guerrillas, and holding the position is neither the style of our department, nor the ability to do so." ”

Zhang Lei smiled and said: "I will send two regiments from the direction of Taizhou to intercept the Japanese invaders in Ningbo with your department. ”

Wang Qiang shook his head and said, "How can two regiments be enough?" ”

Zhang Lei knows very well the strength of Wang Qiang's department, Wang Qiang is deliberately prevaricating, Zhang Lei can't help but want to get angry. Zhang Lei frowned, and said with a serious face: "Brother, if you don't have the confidence to cooperate, I can do it alone." To be honest, I don't have to ask for your help, how long can the Shengzhou Japanese Invaders hold out? After conquering Shengzhou, I can turn around and eliminate the Japanese invaders who are reinforced by Ningbo. Cooperate with me, you can get meat to eat, if you don't cooperate with me, after Shengzhou is defeated by me, when our department advances to Ning**, your department's position in eastern Zhejiang will be extremely embarrassing. ”

Wang Qiang was shocked, what he was worried about was what Zhang Lei said, the reason why he was unwilling to resolutely intercept the Japanese invaders in Ningbo was not because he was incapable, but because he was worried that Zhang Lei would compress his territory and even ban him after he took Shengzhou and stood on his heels. This is Wang Qiang's biggest weakness, which was tightly pinched in the palm of Zhang Lei's palm, after Wang Qiang heard what Zhang Lei said, he hurriedly laughed and said: "General Zhang, the issue I am most concerned about, since you said it yourself, please be considerate of me." I need a word of assurance from you when you hit Shengzhou and enter Ning**. ”

Zhang Lei smiled and said: "You have a territory to keep, you do yours, I do mine." If the Chief's Department has thoughts about your department, as long as I am in eastern Zhejiang for one day, I can ensure the safety of your department for one day. ”

Wang Qiang nodded and smiled, "I believe in you!" Yes! I'll do it with you. I assure you that there is no problem with our unit holding out for three days. ”

Zhang Lei smiled and said, "I don't know the combat effectiveness of your department? An army of tens of thousands of people, plus local guerrillas, could hold out for three days? But don't let you keep it for three days, one day is enough. ”

Zhang Lei stood on a mountain peak, looking into the distance, his heart was surging, and he had the courage to take a look at the mountains at the top of the mountain.

Huiji Mountain is the heart of eastern Zhejiang, and Zhang Lei has two regiments stationed here, nailed to the heart of the Japanese invaders like nails.

Zhang Lei's three divisions were gearing up, preparing to swing heavy punches at the Shengzhou Japanese invaders.

Zhang Lei seemed to hear the sound of a roaring battle in the mountains, and the wind blew the leaves, as if the heroic soldiers were fighting bloody battles with the Japanese invaders.

The earth was trampled under Zhang Lei's feet, and Zhang Lei felt that his legs were connected to the earth, possessing infinite power.

Yoshida Shoichi, Lao Tzu is going to use war to destroy you! Zhang Lei shouted in his heart.

Shooting the moon looked at Zhang Lei, his heart swayed, the great hero is planning a great war, once this war is won, little Japan will definitely retreat on all fronts in eastern Zhejiang, and it will be just around the corner to drive little Japan out of Zhejiang.

Shooting the moon really wanted to hug Zhang Lei tightly from behind Zhang Lei, put his delicate face against Zhang Lei's heart, and listen to Zhang Lei's heartbeat.

Shooting the moon didn't dare to touch Zhang Lei, she only dared to watch quietly, using her imagination, fantasizing that she hugged Zhang Lei tightly and melted herself and Zhang Lei into one.

Wang Yueying ran over and said to Zhang Lei: "Chief of Staff Lu telegraphed that Chief Gu has arrived in Lishui, and he asked you to rush back to Lishui overnight. ”

Zhang Lei's brows furrowed, and he thought, old boy, do you dare to oppose me attacking Shengzhou? If Lao Tzu doesn't fight Shengzhou, how can he kill Yoshida Shoichi? Do you want to force Lao Tzu to assassinate? No way! Lao Tzu had to kill him by means of war this time.

Zhang Lei sighed and whispered, "It seems that I have to rush back to teach him." He may have thought that our department was not capable of fighting the Japanese who held Shengzhou. ”

In the twilight, Zhang Lei rode on a tall white horse, riding a horse and whipping on the forest path. The four beautiful guards such as the moon shooting are also constantly waving their horsewhips.

In the operational command room of the military headquarters, Zhang Lei saluted Commander Gu, who held Zhang Lei's hand tightly, frowned and said: "I read your plan and communicated with Chongqing, Chongqing and I both thought that the conditions for attacking Shengzhou were not ripe. ”

Zhang Lei said: "I would like to hear about it. ”

Commander Gu said: "Shengzhou has a remnant division of an armored brigade, a remnant division of an infantry brigade, and a whole division of the Imperial Cooperative Army. Although the strength of the Shengzhou Japanese Invaders is not as good as before, but the hundred-legged insects are dead but not stiff, and the enemies of Shengzhou are brought out to fight, I will not doubt that your department can defeat them, but I think your department does not have the strength at all to attack the city. Once your unit is dragged by the Shengzhou Japanese invaders, the Japanese invaders in Ningbo, Jinhua, Lanxi, and Zhuji will flock to it, and if the Japanese invaders come to a center to bloom, it will be extremely difficult for the main force of your department to survive. If you don't get it right, the achievements you have already made will be in vain. I think that maintaining the status quo is in the best interest of your ministry and the third theater of operations. ”

Zhang Lei smiled and said: "Do you think that the Japanese Kou of Shengzhou is qualified to engage in the flowering of the center?" If our department annihilates all the Japanese invaders in Shengzhou in one day, will the Japanese invaders in Zhuji, Jinhua, Ningbo, still dare to continue to reinforce? If the Japanese invaders in these areas dare to reinforce them without knowing whether they are alive or dead, which is exactly what I want, I will make a greater fortune if I ambush them in two more ways. ”

Chief Gu shook his head and said, "General Zhang, I know that your unit has won many battles in the previous stage, and the morale of your unit is very high, but we must be calm and have a clear understanding of our combat effectiveness. If they are carried away by victory and blindly make wrong decisions, this is not a matter of losing the battle, and the Japanese will retake Yeosu and Wuyi. ”

Zhang Lei's brows furrowed, and he said, "It's just a small battle, you won't agree?" If I had known this, why would I have reported the plan to you? ”

Chief Gu smiled bitterly and said, "General Zhang, this is a battle that affects the whole body, how can it be said to be a small battle?" So be it! Let me investigate your department and see the situation of each division, how about it? ”

Zhang Lei sighed and said: "The three division commanders are here, just ask if you want to ask." ”

Chief Gu sat down on the chairman's seat, and Zhang Lei sat down on one side.

Chief Gu looked at Senior Commander Tang Jian and said with a smile: "Senior Commander Tang, tell me about the number of people and equipment in your department." ”

Tang Jian looked at Zhang Lei, and Zhang Lei said to Tang Jian: "Chief Gu personally investigates, so you don't have to hide it, what to say." ”

Tang Jian stood up and said loudly: "Our division currently has six full-fledged regiments, including five infantry regiments, one artillery regiment, two divisional engineer battalions, two divisional transport battalions, one division field hospital, one divisional special service battalion, guard company, and communications company, totaling 15,000 people. ”

Chief Gu was shocked and said loudly, "Why are you so full of six regiments?" ”

Zhang Lei said: "My goal is eight full regiments. ”

Chief Gu asked curiously, "How many people are in each group?" ”

Zhang Lei smiled and said: "About 2,000 people." ”

Commander Gu asked Commander Tang Jian: "How many artillery pieces do you have in an artillery regiment?" ”

Tang Jian said with a smile: "A battalion is equipped with 12 75mm mountain guns, and a regiment is equipped with 36 guns. ”

Commander Gu gasped and asked Zhang Lei, "Every division is equipped with this kind of equipment?" ”

Zhang Lei nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

Chief Gu asked, "Where did you get so many artillery?" How did I not know? ”

Zhang Lei smiled and said: "Captured from the battlefield!" Our army made a fortune by taking Wuyi and Wenzhou, and occupied Shengzhou City last time, and moved all the supplies of the Shengzhou Japanese invaders. ”

Chief Gu smiled and said, "You didn't report all the seizures. ”

Zhang Lei said: "Sir! You have to know the suffering of our ragtag army! You didn't give our army a single shot or bullet, and the military salary was only 300,000, and if we want to strengthen ourselves, we have to win the battle. Sometimes they had to send troops to the Japanese convoy to rob it. It's a pity that the weapons of small Japan are not advanced, and the artillery is only 75, how good would it be if you could get a regiment of 155 howitzers? I won't even report the plan to you, and I'll take Shengzhou. ”

Commander Gu smiled and said, "There are only twelve in the 155 Seventy-fourth Army. ”

Zhang Lei smiled and said: "This is the partiality of the commander, we have fought no less battles than the ace army, and the results we have achieved are greater, why can't we send a few howitzers of the US army to our army?" ”

Chief Gu sighed and said, "No money!" If I had the money to buy arms, I would like to equip each army far beyond the Japanese divisions! ”

Zhang Lei smiled and said, "What if we raise money to buy it ourselves? Can you buy it for us? ”

Chief Gu smiled and said, "The equipment of an artillery regiment is at least 20 million, where did you get so much money?" ”

Zhang Lei smiled and said: "Only when you have a goal will you be motivated, as long as you promise us to pay, you can get American-style equipment, and I think Tianfa will get this money." ”

Chief Gu laughed and said, "Okay! I promise you, as long as you can get 20 million, I will definitely build you an American howitzer regiment. ”

Next, Chief Gu continued to listen to Division Commander Tang Jian's report on the equipment situation, and Gu Chang's heart was boiling with enthusiasm, which is just the firepower of a division? The firepower of the three ordinary divisions is not enough.

After listening to the report, Chief Gu was extremely excited, laughed and said, "General Zhang! Today, your ass finally lifted for me, and I, as your commander, didn't even know the true combat effectiveness of your army in the past. I didn't expect that it didn't take long, and these three divisions with very poor equipment, with your efforts, seemed to be magical, and became so powerful. I'm so happy! As you said, I didn't give you any weapons and equipment, your equipment was captured from the hands of the Japanese invaders, you are getting stronger and stronger, the Japanese invaders are getting weaker and weaker, the firepower of your army is completely able to confront a division of the Japanese invaders, and the end of the Japanese invaders in eastern Zhejiang has arrived. After listening to the report, my confidence was doubled, and I decided to approve your unit's combat plan. When your troops attack the Japanese invaders in Shengzhou, I will stay in your military headquarters to observe and study. ”
