Chapter Eighty-Four: Targeted
Xia Chao took a look at it, and there were several telegrams. The first letter www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion was sent by Cui Xiaobao, and he said: "Brother Tian, you are too uninteresting, such a wonderful battle, you won't let me participate in it once." You let someone else do it, this logistics chief, and I'll follow you to the war. β
The other letter was sent by Chen Shuming and Zheng Lanni, introducing the situation of the Jiangjunshan base and congratulating them on their great victory.
There was also a letter from Colonel Hans, who had fought with the Xia Dynasty and was called back by General Weischer, who had a new appointment and made him a military attachΓ© at the German Embassy in China, along with Captain Wilhelm, a weapons specialist.
Hans said that his appointment was unexpected, that he was attached to the German General Staff, completely out of step with the diplomatic system, and that there was no precedent for him to be appointed military attachΓ©. He judged that his appointment was related to the summer dynasty, mainly because of the Tiger tank drawings, otherwise why would Captain William also be transferred to the embassy.
Xia Chao suddenly linked this incident to what Lina told him, and it seemed that there was really something to do with Germany.
Lina said that he would not be allowed to go to Germany, is there any danger in it? He planned to go to Nanking and ask Hans about it.
Xia Chao asked Hu Xiaoman to send them telegrams back.
After the Battle of Luodian, General Matsui Ishine ordered his troops to stop the offensive, and the troops shrank to the area north of Lion Forest and Baoshan for defense. Waiting for reinforcements from the Japanese mainland to send reinforcements from the 9th, 13th, and 101st Divisions.
Because the Japanese army was deployed along the Yangtze River with its back and could be supported by naval guns and aviation at any time, it was inconvenient for the Nationalist army to attack and temporarily stopped counterattacking. The fighting in Shanghai calmed down for the time being.
After vigorous propaganda by the Nationalist Government, the news of Luodian's great victory greatly boosted the anti-Japanese spirit of the Chinese military and people and raised the morale of the army. The names of the summer dynasty and the tiger camp are well known to women and children in the land of China.
The summer asa and the tiger camp finally entered the eyes of Matsui Shigen, and he thought that he must pay attention to this small Chinese battalion-level unit. So far, one lieutenant general and two major generals have been lost in their hands. There are even more officers at the Dazuo level.
Matsui Ishone ordered a special person to investigate the matter. The task fell on the head of the China Section of the General Staff Headquarters. Kagesa Zhenzhao immediately sent two of his cadres, Tokuhito Watanabe, and his junior sister Araki Kikuko to take charge of the matter.
Watanabe Tokuhito and Araki Kikuko are the two disciples of the Japanese Sword Sect who led the Black Dragon Society masters in front of them and stole the fake Nanjing City Defense Engineering Drawings. They received the task and immediately began to collect information about the Xia Dynasty and the Tiger Ben camp.
Xia Chao didn't realize at this time that there was a huge conspiracy against him, which was approaching him step by step.
Chen Cheng and Xia Chao traveled to Nanjing in the same car to attend a military meeting convened by the Supreme Military Council.
At this time, Shanghai had entered a rainy weather, and although the roads damaged by the Japanese air raids had been repaired, the potholes and bumps were terrible. Chen Cheng's convoy struggled.
In the car, Chen Cheng said to Xia Chao, who was sitting next to him: "Heavenly Empire, is there any news of Xiao Lin recently?" β
Xia Chao shook his head and said, "No, the last time I received her telegram, it was a week ago. The situation is good. The board of directors of their school has officially met and decided to take a stake in penicillin's production. Their school has a great influence in the United States, and with their participation, things are easier to do.
In addition, the school officially decided to nominate the International Nobel Jury to apply for next year's Nobel Prize in Medicine for Cousin Chen. There has been no news in the past few days, probably because she knows that the war is tense here, and she is afraid that we will be distracted. I'll get in touch with her as soon as I get to Nanjing. β
They chatted for a while about Chen Lin and Xia Chao's private affairs, and then changed the topic to the upcoming military commission operations meeting.
Chen Cheng asked, "What do you think about the next battle in Shanghai?" β
Xia Chao said: "Not optimistic, after these days of fighting, the strength of the Japanese army, you have personally experienced it, do you think Shanghai can hold it?" β
Chen Cheng knew in his heart that although they had achieved a great victory this time, it was mainly because the Xia Dynasty adopted sneak attack tactics and beat the Japanese army coldly. Such tactics cannot be replicated, and the Japanese army will soon strengthen its vigilance, and it will not be possible to carry out a sneak attack in disguise.
Tough with the Japanese army? Chen Cheng shook his head.
Xia Chao said: "The reinforcements of the Japanese army will arrive soon. Although the number of the national army was large, the equipment was too poor, and the central army was not as good as the Japanese army, let alone the local army. And there are too many factions, and it is also a problem to command. β
Chen Cheng nodded in agreement. He then asked, "Do you have any good advice?" β
Xia Chao told him what he thought.
Chen Cheng said: "Your suggestion is very reasonable, when you arrive in Nanjing, you will put it forward at the meeting if you have the opportunity." I will support you. β
Afterwards, the two stopped talking. After being silent for a while, Chen Cheng asked, "What's next for your Tiger Camp?" β
Xia Chao said: "This big victory, how can the chairman of the committee reward the Tiger Camp, right?" β
Chen Cheng said: "That's natural, why are you asking this?" β
Xia Chao said: "I want to take this opportunity to expand the army, at least to one regiment. β
Chen Cheng said: "You are too young, and now you are in the limelight. The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. I don't need to talk about that, right? β
Xia Chao said: "Uncle Chen, I understand your kindness, but I only have one battalion in my hands, and my strength is too small. If there is a regiment of troops, things are much easier. This is an opportunity, a colonel is not too much, right? β
Chen Cheng said with a smile: "If you want to talk about merit, don't talk about a colonel and regimental commander, it's not too much to give you a major general and brigade commander." So be it, there will be no problem with this request. β
Xia Chao said: "I have another idea. I will not participate in the next stage of the battle, and the positional defensive battle is not suitable for me. I will seize the time to reorganize and train the troops, and at the most critical time, I will fight the Japanese army coldly. β
Chen Cheng said: "Otherwise, you put the troops under the name of my 15th Group Army, and I will make proper arrangements." β
Xia Chao shook his head and said, "It's inconvenient." It's better to keep the status quo, it's more convenient for you to speak, and others can't find fault with it. β
Chen Cheng agreed with him, and he decided to greet Zhang Zhizhong in advance and work hard according to this goal.
Nanjing Supreme Military Commission, at the entrance of the office building.
The generals attending the meeting rushed to the venue one after another. Chen Cheng stood at the door, constantly greeted by people, he smiled and entertained, just waiting for Zhang Zhizhong to appear.
Soon Zhang Zhizhong came over, and Chen Cheng and he talked in a low voice in the courtyard for a while, and then entered the venue together.
At this moment, a group of female soldiers poured out of the building.
