"Back to the commission, according to the report of the hidden personnel I arranged, Li and Bai have not changed at present!" Dai Lian hurriedly turned around and replied.

"Well, that's good! Remember to monitor closely and report any abnormalities quickly! Chairman Jiang nodded slightly reassuringly.

"Yes! Retire from your duties! Dai Lian bowed his head again in response, and turned and walked out respectfully.

After Dai Li left, Chairman Jiang said to Wang Shihe on the side: "Send a telegram to Gu Mosan immediately, asking him to organize the recovery of Shanghai as soon as possible!" ”

"Yes!" Wang Shihe didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed his head and responded.

……………………………………………… Qingdao, Qiao Anbang Temporary Residence.

Liang Haoyao, who had already served as chief of staff of the Fifth Division, and Zhang Yi, who had just been promoted to deputy commander of the armored division, were ordered to take a jeep to the outside of Qiao's mansion.

Wang Gensheng, the head of the guard regiment directly under Qiao Anbang who was arranged by Qiao Anbang to greet the two at the door, strode up to greet the two when they got out of the car, and said with a smile while saluting: "Chief of Staff Liang, Deputy Division Commander Zhang, are you here?" ”

The two saluted in return, and after stepping forward to shake hands with Wang Gensheng, they asked, "Head Wang, where is the head seat?" ”

"I'm waiting for you inside, come with me!" Wang Gensheng replied with a smile, and as he spoke, he took the lead and walked towards the mansion.

The three of them came to Qiao Anbang's study in the mansion together, and when they saw that the door was half hidden, Wang Gensheng immediately said loudly: "Report, Chief of Staff Liang and Deputy Division Commander Zhang have arrived!" ”

"Oh, let them in!" Qiao Anbang's unhurried voice came from the study.

"Please come in, Boss!" Wang Gensheng turned to Liang Haoyao and said solemnly.

The two nodded, pushed the door one after the other, and after entering the study, the two found that Qiao Anbang was writing a piece of paper and didn't know what he was writing.

"Headquarters!" Liang Haoyao and Zhang Yi stood up and saluted at the same time.

Qiao Anbang just finished writing, raised his head and threw the pen in his hand on the table, smiled and waved to the two of them: "It's all here, it's hard all the way, hurry up and sit down and rest!" ”

With that, Qiao Anbang walked to the sofa on the side, and at this time, an orderly came in and poured tea for the three of them.

After Qiao Anbang took the lead in sitting down, the two of them followed and sat opposite Qiao Anbang tremblingly, although they sat down, their bodies were still tall and straight, and they didn't dare to relax too much.

Feeling the tension of the two subordinates, Qiao Anbang took a sip of the teacup, smiled and waved his hand: "Hey, don't be nervous, don't feel constrained, relax!" ”

"I wonder why the general seat urgently summoned the two of us to come?" Liang Haoyao saw Qiao Anbang open his mouth and took advantage of the situation to ask.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, if I remember correctly, both of you are overseas Chinese in Europe, right?" Jo Anbang asked.

"Yes, my father and Uncle Zhang are world friends and have worked hard together in Europe for many years, and now our two families have basically settled in Germany!" Liang Haoyao answered truthfully, and Zhang Yi on the side nodded.

"Oh, in this way, Ling Zun has been working hard in Germany for many years, so he should have many acquaintances?" Qiao Anbang asked tentatively.

"Liang Shibo has a wide range of contacts in Germany, especially in Berlin, and even has acquaintances in the German SS!" This time, it was Zhang Yi who rushed to answer.

"That's good!" Qiao Anbang paused, and said earnestly: "Now I won't sell anything to you!" At present, the situation of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression has reached the most critical moment, and in order to achieve the final victory in the war against China in the future, it is urgent to form our Chinese navy, but we lack experienced naval officers, and even less professionally trained naval recruits! So, I hope that the two of you can go back to Germany, and please help me get in touch with the current leader of Germany, that is, Hitler! ”

"Get in touch with Hitler?" Liang Haoyao and Zhang Yi were both surprised, and Liang Haoyao said with a difficult face: "Boss, although my father has a little connections in Germany, I am afraid it is not easy to get in touch with the high-level German political axe, and even if he has the opportunity to get in touch, Hitler will not necessarily treat his father!" ”

"You can rest assured about this, as long as Ling Zun can find a way to get in touch with the top level of the German political axe, I have a way to get Hitler to meet Ling Zun immediately, and I will especially reuse him!" Qiao Anbang got up and walked to his desk, picking up a few file bags on the table and a letter he had just written.

Turning to Liang Haoyao and Zhang Yi, he said: "This document bag contains the design drawings and manufacturing process of our army's latest tanks, as well as a handwritten letter from me to Hitler, as long as Ling Zun can find a way to put these things in the hands of the German army leaders, Hitler will definitely receive him!" ”

Liang Haoyao and Zhang Yi took the documents and letters suspiciously, and saluted Qiao Anbang at the same time: "Obey!" ”

…………………………………… At the same time, on the front line of the North China Battlefield, Yan Xishan, Wei Lihuang, and others, commanders of the Second Theater saw that the main force of Kou North China had been annihilated in Qingdao by the Tiger Army, and that the garrisons of Hebei, Shanxi, Chahar, and Suiyuan were already seriously empty, so it was naturally impossible to let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take advantage of the fire to loot, and to seize territory and gain political capital and personal prestige.

As a result, hundreds of thousands of troops of the Jinsui Army and the Central Army in the Second Theater, together with the units of the Eighth Route Army in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei region, launched a full-scale counteroffensive against the Yue Army.

By the time Qiao Anbang returned to Qingdao to reorganize the units of the 11th Group Army, Shanxi, Hebei, and Suiyuan had already recovered two-thirds of them.

Among them, the Jin Sui Army and the 100,000 elite troops of the Central Army have attacked the line from Baoding to Cangzhou, and the troops are directed at Pingjin.

Due to the adjustment of the strategic deployment of the base camp of the Yue army in China, the main force of the second theater basically did not encounter any decent resistance, and the vast majority of the areas were given up by the Yue army on their own initiative, such as Baoding and Cangzhou, where there was no longer a garrison of the Yue army, and only some puppet Han annihilation units were left behind.

These wall-like puppet troops, when the [***] counterattack came to the front, they didn't even put a gun and went out of the city with a white flag to surrender, and even more directly after the army withdrew, [***] changed into a blue sky and white flag before the attack, and turned into a curve to save the country.

But what Yan Xishan, Wei Lihuang and other senior generals in the Second World War Zone did not expect was that when they were ambitious and ready to continue to wave their troops north to recover Pingjin, the military commanders who were lurking in Beiping and Tianjin came with a shocking news.

That is, the army had already taken the initiative to evacuate Beiping, Tianjin, and other places overnight, and was hastily withdrawing towards the Guanwai.

After getting the news, the generals of the Second War Zone, including Yan Xishan and Wei Lihuang, couldn't believe it at first, and then there was a burst of ecstasy.

In addition to the great joy, Yan Xishan and Wei Lihuang immediately ordered all divisions on the front line to quickly advance north and seize Pingjin.

Three days later, that is, at the same time that Qiao Anbang had just sent off Liang Haoyao and Zhang Yi, the vast territory north of Pingjin and south of Shanhaiguan was finally recovered and returned to the embrace of the motherland after being lost for two years.

Outside the Shanhai Pass, the two army divisions of the Kwantung Army, as well as the heavy artillery, aviation units and naval vessels, were waiting for them, and Fu Zuoyi's troops tried to fight through the Shanhai Pass with a series of victories and recover the lost territory outside the Guan, but they were attacked head-on by the elite troops of the Kwantung Army.

As a result, Yan Xishan, Wei Lihuang and others also dispelled the idea of taking advantage of the situation to counterattack the three provinces outside the country, knowing that with their current strength, they did not have the ability to recover the lost territory outside the Guanwai and expel the Kwantung Army.

……………………………… Good news in North China was frequent, and Yan Xishan's Second War Zone regained a large area of lost territory and won the praise of the general public, but at this time, there was bad news from the Jiangnan battlefield that was no less than a bolt from the blue for Chairman Chiang.

Gu Zhutong's troops of the Third Theater, who were in charge of the counterattack on Shanghai, waged a bloody battle to the death with the Yue army on the front line of Kunshan and Huzhou, but after a few joint blows by the powerful naval guns of the Yue Army and the sea-based air force, the 100,000 main forces of the Third Theater were defeated by the Yue Army head-on, and the Central China Army took advantage of the situation to attack and launched a counterattack and counterattack against the Third Theater.

If it were not for the strategic adjustment of the base camp of the Yue army, the army would have had the momentum of recapturing Nanjing.

In this battle, Gu Zhutong's 100,000 elite main forces lost most of them, and most of these elite troops were the descendants of Chairman Jiang's Central Army.

………………………………………… On the outskirts of Qingdao, on the training ground of the Fifth Integrated Division of the 11 th Group Army, Qiao Anbang, accompanied by Li Pinxian, Wang Gensheng, and others, as well as Jiang Jun, commander of the Fifth Division, was inspecting the training of recruits in the Fifth Division.

After many days of continuous recruitment, the expanded troops of the 1st to 5th integrated divisions have basically been fully recruited, and high-intensity and arduous training has immediately begun.

Listening to the training slogans of the soldiers, Qiao Anbang nodded as he walked, and said to Li Pinxian, Jiang Jun and others: "The training of the troops must be paid close attention, and the recruits are not allowed to participate in combat missions within three months. ”

"Really? Is it necessary to reload the STG44 assault rifle? Jiang Jun, commander of the Fifth Division, asked in surprise about the STG44 assault rifles equipped by the special operations battalion, and the 11th Group Army had already known to everyone, and the officers and men of all divisions thought that they could be equipped with this new weapon.

"Hmm!" Qiao Anbang nodded, and explained to Li Pinxian: "Although the fully automatic assault rifle is more advanced, but the dependence on logistics will be greater, before the production line of our arsenal is not completely updated, this new assault rifle will not be completely reequipped for the time being, anyway, the Garand semi-automatic rifle that our army is now equipped with is enough to suppress the infantry weapons of the army and the Soviet army." ”

Li Pinxian nodded silently and didn't say anything more.

In fact, of course, Qiao Anbang has his own plans to do this, because of the existence of flying machines, he can completely reequip all his ten integrated divisions with fully automatic assault rifles, but in this way, the logistical pressure will indeed be very great, after all, although the aircraft can be supplied indefinitely, it must also be transported according to the needs of the battlefield in which each unit is located, right?

In addition, the Garand rifle is not lagging behind, and it is more than enough to deal with the current stage of the army, and Qiao Anbang plans to wait for the completion of the formation of the other ten newly formed integrated divisions, and then replace the weapons for the active divisions, and the replaced weapons and equipment are just equipped for this new division.

Qiao Anbang's vision for the future is that the newly formed integrated division will serve as the second-line troops of the Tiger Army, and in the absence of special needs, these second-line troops only need to serve as the garrison and defense of the existing territory of the Tiger Army.

For foreign use, the 300,000-strong army composed of 10 elite integrated divisions in active service, plus the Air Force, Reading Armored Division, and other units is sufficient.

At least at this stage, it is enough to deal with any battle with either side, and with the development of time, the current second-line garrison will be slowly supplemented and added to the first-line combat troops, thereby expanding the size of the first-line troops.

………………………… In the living room of the Berlin Yiyuli Villa, the dusty Liang Haoyao and Zhang Yi finally returned to Liang Haoyao's home in Berlin after more than a month of long-distance travel.

This time when he returned to Germany, in order to avoid unnecessary speculation and trouble, Qiao Anbang did not send them there with a flying machine, but let them find a way to go back by themselves.

After returning home, Liang Haoyao immediately told his father about Qiao Anbang's entrustment to him, Liang's father was also a passionate patriot, and when he heard that it was to form a Chinese navy, he immediately agreed.

And promised to do everything in their power to make it happen.

After Liang's father's movement and unremitting efforts, Qiao Anbang's handwritten letters and the design drawings of the new tank contained in the document bag finally reached Hitler.

Mustache Office of the Chancellery in Berlin.

The mustache Hitler picked up the mysterious document brought by the current commander-in-chief of the air force of the German Empire, his number one henchman, and looked at the ordinary packaging, the mustache was obviously a little disappointed, looked up at Goering and said: "These are some ordinary documents, where did you get them?" ”

As he spoke, Hitler had already opened one of the document bags, pulled out the stacks of data drawings inside, and saw that they were all the design drawings of tank combat vehicles and their detailed explanations.

Hitler immediately handed the drawings to Guderian, another henchman next to him, and said: "General Goode, what do you look at?" How come I have never seen such a tank? ”

At this time, Goering on the side said: "When I got these things, I felt that these drawings were very important to us, because the tank and combat vehicles on them were more advanced than all the tank and combat vehicles in our current service, and at the same time, they were more advanced than the British, French and Soviet people!" ”

After listening to this, Hitler turned his gaze to Guderian, who was already looking at the drawings, and after a while, Guderian's hands had begun to tremble, raised his head to meet Hitler's inquiring gaze, and said excitedly: "Führer, this is indeed a tank that can be said to be the most advanced in the world at present, if our armored forces of the German Empire have it, I am confident that the entire European continent will be swept away for the Reich!" ”
