Xu Ming saw the instant noodles made in Japan and had an idea in his heart, but he also asked for proof,

"Boyu, Zhihuan, I want to ask, is there a poison or any medicine that can knock people down in a few days, well, this kind of thing can't be easily discovered, it's better to put it in the meal."

Hu Lian and Zhang Shaofang looked at each other, who knows, they will only fight.

However, just because they don't know doesn't mean that others don't know, the medical officer came over and explained to Xu Ming, "Commander-in-chief, there are many poisoning drugs in the world, and many of them will take effect in a few days, but it is difficult not to be easily discovered. ”

"I don't need to poison people, I just need to make the enemy incapacitated for a short time, even if it's food poisoning."

"Commander-in-chief, there are a lot of this, there are many who want to create food poisoning, such as..."

Hu Lian and Zhang Shaofang still didn't understand, and after the medical officer went out, they asked suspiciously, "Commander-in-chief, even if it can poison the Japanese, how can the devil eat it, let's give it to them, and the devil doesn't believe it." ”

Xu Ming laughed, "They will believe it, but the secret of heaven must not be revealed, don't ask about the specifics, I estimate that little Japan's stomach is going to hurt."

Hu Lian and Zhang Shaofang looked at each other, and both shook their heads at the same time, they already admired Xu Ming, but to make them believe that Xu Ming had a way to poison the devils in front of them, which was unimaginable for them, this was simply a myth!

From ancient times to the present, there is no such precedent, historically, the Mongols and Spaniards used plague and injuries as weapons, but that was the use of infectious diseases, unlike food poisoning, it was to make people eat in their stomachs, they really couldn't think of what Xu Ming could do.

Xu Ming looked at these two people with a suspicious look and knew their thoughts, but many of the phenomena that were very common in later generations would not have been known by many people more than 70 years ago, such as nitrite poisoning.

Xu Ming skipped this topic, and discussed another matter with them, "Boyu, Zhihuan, Jinguanqiao's problem is very serious, and reinforcements are urgently needed, and now the closest to there is the 4th Army, less than 80 miles, I think so... Do you think it's possible? ”

Hu Lianren was more flexible, and suggested, "You can't come forward with the commander-in-chief in this matter, it's better to let Chief Chen say it, I think it's also an opportunity for him, after all, having a chance to lead the army is the most difficult thing for every general to let go." ”

"Okay, I'll go find the chairman and Chief Chen."

**********

Wuhan, Dachao Street, the location of the Wuhan camp and the Military Committee.

As the supreme command organ during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and also the decision-making body of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, when the Battle of Wuhan entered the Gao Qi Dynasty, all departments and personnel such as the Military Command Department, the Propaganda Department of the Military Affairs Department, the Military Law Enforcement Directorate Department, and the Political Department were working at full speed and selflessly, and the entire Wuhan camp was tense and busy.

However, there is one exception, and that is Zhang Fakui, commander-in-chief of the First Corps of the Ninth Theater, who came to "report on his work."

Five full days passed, and he came to report on his work, but no one paid attention to him, and he was hung here.

What made him even more angry was that although everyone he saw was polite to him, everyone looked at him with very indifference and even contempt, which made him sad but helpless.

He knew what the reason was, it was all caused by the person named Xu Ming. lost Jiujiang, he was dismissed in disguise as a scapegoat, and there were even rumors that he would be tried by military law, which was enough to make him heartwarming, but what was even more depressing was still to come, Xu Ming, who took over his position, recaptured Jiujiang at once, and also made a "Jiujiang victory".

A person of Zhang Fakui's status, of course, knows that the Jiujiang victory does not exist, but Xu Ming did recapture Jiujiang, who do you say to reason with this matter. When he fought, the Japanese army attacked day and night, Xu Ming had just taken over, and the Japanese army adopted a policy of "non-resistance" in Jiujiang! This kind of thing can be touched by Xu Ming, thinking of this, Zhang Fakui is also drunk.

He can't say that when he says that others still think that he is jealous and jealous, how can he Zhang Fakui be such an arrogant person, how can he do such a thing.

He couldn't say it, he could only nest in his heart, and he felt as uncomfortable as a big stone blocking his heart.

"Sir Chen," Zhang Fakui felt a little better when he saw Chen Cheng greet him at the door, and he saluted, nominally he was still Chen Cheng's subordinate.

The relationship between the two is quite delicate, Zhang Fakui's qualifications are higher than Chen Cheng, when Zhang Fakui was the division commander, Chen Cheng was a company commander! During the Northern Expedition, Chen Cheng became the commander of the regiment, and Zhang Fakui was the commander of the Fourth Army, known as the "Iron Army". However, Chen Cheng, as a descendant of Chiang Kai-shek, was by no means promoted faster than Zhang Fakui, who had raised troops against Lao Chiang three times. In the Battle of Songhu, Chen Cheng was the commander-in-chief of the Left Wing Army, Zhang Fakui was the commander-in-chief of the Right Wing Army, and by now, Chen Cheng was already the commander of the 9th Theater and became his top boss.

The two had a quarrel during the Battle of Songhu because of the unification of the army, but now Zhang Fakui is still very grateful to Chen Cheng.

"Chief Chen, thank you for interceding for me in front of the chairman this time, if it is really a military trial, even if I am not guilty in the future, I will have no shame to live in this world."

"Where, where, I'm just holding a righteous opinion, in fact, the chairman also knows that the loss of Jiujiang at the beginning was not entirely true

Commander Zhang, your responsibility. ”

Speaking of Jiujiang, Zhang Fakui did not hide his decadence, and said, "It's okay now, with Xu Ming, we don't need those of us who are useless." ”

Seeing that there was still resentment in Zhang Fakui's tone, Chen Cheng's words turned a corner, "Commander Zhang, what are your plans in the future?" ”

Zhang Fakui sighed, "What do I have to do now?" Yu Hanmou sent a telegram saying that the Japanese army might land in Guangdong and that I wanted to go back. ”

Chen Cheng said: "But I'm afraid there is no suitable location in Guangdong." ”

Zhang Fakui was silent, he didn't know that it was unrealistic to go back, now that the troops of the whole country are concentrated in Wuhan, Zhang Fakui is a pure military general, what can he do when he goes back? But listening to Chen Cheng's tone, it seemed that there was still a chance for him to lead the troops to fight, and when he thought of this, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

Sure enough, Chen Cheng said, "Commander Zhang, the Jinguanqiao side is tight, the battle of Wuhan has reached a critical juncture, the chairman of the committee can't rest assured that there is a famous general with high moral standing guarding there..."

Chen Cheng didn't say it later, but the meaning was obvious.

"This..."Zhang Fakui looked hesitant, giving him a chance to fight, he was naturally very happy, but he is going to Jinguanqiao now, in what capacity? Also, I can't stand it on face.

Chen Cheng didn't speak, just waited for Zhang Fakui to come up with his own idea.

Zhang Fakui paced a few steps in the room, two thoughts in his mind kept clashing, one telling him: "Go ahead, this is your best chance to save your reputation." One refuted on the side, "Zhang Xianghua, Zhang Xianghua, what is your identity, how can you obediently obey the orders of a young man in his 20s?" Get there, what will others think of you! ”

In the end, Zhang Fakui made a decision, and he resolutely said, "I am willing to go to Jinguanqiao and fight under the command of Xu Ming." ”

Chen Cheng completed the task and laughed, "General Xiang Hua, how can Xu Ming be qualified to command you, the chairman means to make you the deputy commander of the 9th Theater and go to Mahuiling and Jinguanqiao to supervise the battle." ”

Zhang Fakui was overjoyed, and the last problem was solved, and he said loudly: "Chief Chen, as long as I, Zhang Xianghua, still have a breath, the Jinguan Bridge will never be lost, how long Xu Ming can attack in Yaque Mountain, I can hold on to the Jinguan Bridge for as long as I can!" ”

"Okay, General Xiang Hua, please follow me to meet the chairman immediately!"

Zhang Fakui's participation in the war added a heavy weight to the balance of the victory of the squadron, Zhang Fakui went to Jinguanqiao, not alone to fight, and the fourth army, known as the "Iron Army".

According to the results of Zhang Fakui and Xue Yue's mutual consultation, the 25th Army and the 4th Army exchanged positions, and during the troop transfer, the defense of Xingzi was assumed by the 66th Army, but after the 66th Army arrived in Xingzi, Xue Yue thought that it would be a pure waste of time and energy to let the two troops exchange again, so he let the 4th Army rest in De'an, and De'an, the straight-line distance from Jinguanqiao is less than 30 kilometers, and counting the mountain road, it is only 80 miles, a distance for a daytime rapid march.

Xu Ming received a telegram from the Military Commission and settled down in his heart, the 4th Army and the 64th Army were in Zhang Fakui's hands, and they could give full play to their combat effectiveness, and now they had to consider how to attack the fortifications.

Xu Ming looked at the time, the plane taking off from Nanchang Airport should be about to arrive, and sure enough, soon, several planes flew slowly in the sky.

The plane flew very low and at a very slow speed, and at a glance it was clear that it was not here to fight.

These are several Japanese aircraft, 3 96 ship-attack fighters, and a Type 93 bomber, and the newly painted sun markings on the fuselage are still shining. The planes flew over the Japanese positions and began to drop packages.

The airborne process was surprisingly smooth, not only was there no obstruction by the Chinese Air Force, but even the squadron on the outer positions just watched and did not take any interfering actions, and even a few packages that deviated from the target landed between the two armies, and the squadron did not snatch it as usual, and let the Japanese pick it up
