The detachment leader nodded and said, "Your task is to learn more about this company's information and get to the bottom of it." There is also the situation of Gao Yang, the owner of SC Trading Company. Remember, this mission is a reconnaissance mission, not for you to treat SC Trading as a suspect! This is important to remember! Ding Rui nodded and said seriously, "Leader, don't worry, I promise to complete the task." ”

In 1925, Gao Yang aboard the Hairong had no idea what was happening in modern time and space, and he was now planning his next move with the help of Weix.

As soon as the bombardment began in the morning, Yang Dong sent a telegram to Gao Feng in the magic capital, so that the newspapers and radio stations that were already ready to be under the control of SC Trade began to launch a public opinion war with all their might. desperately smeared the pot ash on Lu Xiaojia's face, and at the same time rubbed powder on Gao Yang's face, saying that this war between warlords for territory was a crusade between righteous Gao Yang against traitors. At present, it seems that everything is going well, and Lu Xiaojia has no ability to fight back in public opinion.

After occupying Xiagang Town, Yang Dong suggested that the radio of the 10th Division should be used to send a message to surrender, which also severely damaged the morale of the Zhejiang army that was still resisting!

After the loss of Xiagang Town, the remnants of the 10th Division were compressed into a narrow strip of land on the Yangtze River, surrounded by enemies on all sides. The warships on the river approached one after another, and fired fiercely at the ship's Hatch Chase machine guns and Makqin.

Disrupted, deprived of command, and demoralized to the point of collapse, the 10th Division finally collapsed when it found dozens of planes in the sky rushing towards them and dropping bombs. No matter how elite the troops are, they can't resist.

In just a few hours, the 10th Division of the Army, which was once famous, was wiped out on the banks of the Yangtze River, and thousands of captured officers and soldiers were escorted to both sides of the road from Changzhou to Jiangyin. The captives watched the distant Jiangyin Fortress fill the sky with gunsmoke and flames. Heavy artillery bombardment on the ground, bombing of planes in the sky, and the support of warships and guns on the river, the Jiangyin fortress will not be able to withstand it.

Before lunch, the Jiangyin fortress also surrendered, and the Jiangyin fortress at this time had basically been blown up, and there were broken bricks and tiles everywhere, and it was a mess. After the officers and men of the 6th Division stormed the Jiangyin fortress, they sent the wounded soldiers of the 6th Mixed Brigade to the field hospital for treatment, and the prisoners were escorted to the location of the prisoners of the 10th Division to be guarded together.

More than 10,000 prisoners stayed together, sitting numbly on the ground and watching the officers and men of the Sixth Division eating a hot lunch, smelling the smell of rice wafting and feeling their stomachs growling.

A recruit captive touched the veteran next to him and asked softly, "Squad leader, why are they eating now?" Don't be hungry at night? The squad leader glanced at him and said angrily, "You idiot, you are the same as us as a subordinate of the High Overseer?" They all eat 3 meals a day! I'm going to have another meal in the evening. ”

"Huh? Eat 3 meals a day! "The recruits were shocked, they hadn't heard of being able to eat 3 meals a day for as long as they could remember!

At this time, the logistics unit of the 6th Division drove a food truck to the prisoner camp to distribute lunch to the prisoners. Two big white steamed buns per person, and water to drink. The captives began to stir up, and some people began to scramble for them. The gendarmes in charge of the guards stepped forward to maintain order, and after a single blow of rifle butts, the captives finally learned to line up.

After receiving the steamed buns and water, the recruit who had just spoken sat on the ground and devoured it. Since the morning, he has been hungry for a long time, and soon he finished eating the steamed buns, looking at the dining car and wondering if he can go and get two more?

The veteran on the side saw what he meant, and said with a smile: "Don't think about it, that's all, you can be content." We're captives, so thank God we can eat. The recruit pouted and said, "I see that the people of their sixth division eat casually, and they even take iron boxes." ”

One of the captives behind him laughed, patted him on the back and said with a smile, "What a fool you are, we are captives, captives!" Got it? Can you compare with others? Besides, what do you want to do when you're full? With so many people here, can they keep you fed? ”

The squad leader then said, "Fool, that's not an iron box. It's called canned pork, I've seen it at the company commander before, it's full of oily meat, what kind of luncheon meat is it, it's called a fragrant, hehe, I smelled it for a while, and I can taste it for 3 days. ”

The recruit swallowed his saliva and looked at the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Division who were gathered to eat in the distance, and whispered, "I really want to eat too." The squad leader smiled and said, "If you have a chance, we have all the arms and legs now, just wait for the High Overseer to be absorbed." Then you'll be able to eat the iron box. "Hahaha." The surrounding captives all laughed, and the eyes of the officers and men of the Sixth Division became hotter.

Gao Yang was also having lunch on the Hairong at this time. What delicious food can be made on a warship, especially a light warship with a displacement of only more than 1,000 tons, such as the Hairong? The galley of the entire warship is also a bit bigger.

The lunch that Gao Yang ate in the officer's cabin was all cooked by Captain Ouyang Xun who sent someone to drive a traffic boat to the restaurant he found in Jingjiang on the other side. The small table is full of 12 dishes, and it's still hot! Gao Yang looked at it and didn't say anything, and beckoned Ouyang Tao, Wei X, and Yang Dong to sit down and eat together.

Watching Weix skillfully pick up a piece of buckle meat with a fork and put it in his mouth, Gao Yang couldn't help but laugh. "Weix, you still don't know how to use chopsticks after you've been here for so long?"

Weix chewed a few times and swallowed the meat, and then said, "I have studied it too, but it is too difficult, even harder than when I was in school to study Hegel's philosophy!" I had to give up. ”

Ouyang Tao said with a smile, "When I was an intern in the British Navy, there was a special officer's canteen on a large warship, and the interior layout was better than the general restaurant, and all kinds of meals could be made. When the Overseers returned, they asked the Overseers to inspect the ship. ”

A hint of displeasure flashed in Gao Yang's eyes, nodded and asked, "How did Commander Du talk about it in the Demon Capital?" Yang Dong put down his chopsticks and said softly: "The British Minister to China, Sir Ma Ke, has already taken a ship from Tianjin Port to the Magic Capital, and is fully responsible for the negotiation of this warship procurement case. ”

Gao Yang rubbed his brows, and then asked, "What do the British think?" Yang Dong replied, "The British consul in the magic capital said that the British government and the Royal Navy are very interested in our military procurement plan, but they do not agree with the purchase price we propose. Consul John bluntly told President Gao Feng that the price was too low, and at the same time he also hinted that the Royal Navy was willing to sell us any warship that we were interested in, as long as the price was negotiated, anything could be negotiated! ”

The corners of Gao Yang's mouth curled slightly, and he said with a smile: "In other words, as long as the money is in place, any ship can be sold, right?" Yang Dong chuckled and nodded.

Weix, who was eating quietly, suddenly said, "Sir, the warships built by the German shipyards are very good, and the prices are very competitive now!" ”

Gao Yang turned his head to look at him and said lightly, "What I want is a spot that can immediately form combat effectiveness, does Germany have it?" Weix stopped talking, and ate quietly.

Gao Yang chuckled and said, "If there is no Rainbow Operation, I am very interested in both the Caesar and the King level, but it's a pity. ”

Wilks twitched the corners of his eyes slightly, and did not speak, but just held the fork in his hand tightly. Operation Rainbow was an irreparable pain for all Germans!

Gao Yang rubbed the stubble on his chin and said to Yang Dong, "Tell the British, the price is not negotiable, if you want to sell it, you can sell it, if you don't want to sell it, I will spend 40 million pounds to find a new American man-made ship!" Tell the British, I Gao Yang will definitely do what he says. "Yes, sir."

Ouyang Tao on the side swallowed his saliva, and secretly thought to himself whether he was going to send a telegram to Commander Du and ask him to sabotage this military purchase? A new warship of 40 million pounds! Happiness came too suddenly, the navy was not prepared at all, and Ouyang Tao fell into the trouble of happiness.

The door to the cabin was opened, and a serious-looking Colonel Brandt walked in with papers. After saluting Gao Yang, he opened the file and handed it to Gao Yang and said, "Sir, this is the revised follow-up combat plan of the General Staff Office, please take a look." ”

"Oh." Gao Yang took the document and said, "It's just finished eating, let's go to the bridge and talk." Everyone in the audience got up and followed Gao Yang back to the bridge.

In the golden autumn season, the weather in Jiangnan is still very hot. In the afternoon, most of the officers and men of the Sixth Division, who had had lunch, found a shady place to rest. The truck that sat all night last night was already sleepy, and now that I relaxed, the sleepiness immediately came up.

Zhang Xinghai sat quietly on the drainage ditch next to the highway and smoked, his eyes were full of red bloodshots, and in front of him was a shroud of white flowers! The baggage soldiers who cleaned up the battlefield concentrated the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Division who had died here.

Zhang Zhonglin sat down next to him, lit a cigarette, and smoked together. The gusts of river wind blowing on the river surface dispelled the heat, but it could not blow away the pain in their hearts.

"Zhang Hua is also dead." Zhang Zhonglin said lightly. "Well, I saw it, half of my head was cut off by shrapnel." Zhang Xinghai said expressionlessly.

Zhang Hua is also a well-known figure in the Military Academy, with excellent grades and is very appreciated by the instructors, but he didn't expect to die here.

Zhang Zhonglin snuffed out the cigarette and said faintly: "Our battalion alone has killed hundreds of people!" There are 3 college classmates! And that's when we have the advantage. The infantry had no way to fight against the dense artillery fire and heavy machine guns. ”

Zhang Xinghai was silent for a while before he nodded and said in a low voice: "As soon as I started fighting, I felt that my brain was hot, I just thought about Chong Chong, and I forgot all the things I learned in the academy, and how many brothers I killed." ”

Zhang Xinghai snuffed out his cigarette and stood up, and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, Zhong Lin, the deceased have passed away, we have to live for them now!" Prepare yourself, I guess it won't be long before we go. ”

"Yes." Zhang Zhonglin also stood up and answered softly. Watching the baggage soldiers begin to look through the badges, soldier cards, and officer certificates of the officers and soldiers who have died in battle, they began to carry the bodies to the truck after the records were completed. Zhang Zhonglin wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and was about to turn around and leave, when he suddenly saw something and his body froze.
