Chapter 167: Door-to-door delivery of money

Jinxi,

At this time, although Jinxi is dilapidated, there are broken bricks and tiles everywhere, but the whole Jinxi city is full of joy, whether it is a shop or the gate of each house, the street is hung with a big blue sky and white flag, the people in the city are every household is setting off firecrackers, some prestige old people, and even organized a lion dance team, beating gongs and drums to celebrate the 99th Army's recovery of Jinxi.

Jinxi was the first city to be recovered by force by China since 918, and its significance has long gone beyond the victory of a major battle. As for the 99th Army's tough reconquest of Jinxi, it was regarded by the outside world as a signal that the Wuhan political axe was going to launch an all-out counterattack, and at this time, the Sixth Theater in Northeast China had already made a good start, and annihilated tens of thousands of troops of the Kwantung Army, which greatly dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Yue Army.

There was also a noticeable pause in the attack on Wuhan, and one can imagine how much the defeat in the northeast battlefield had affected them. The Northeast can be said to be the base camp of the Empire in China, where the most elite soldiers of the empire are stationed, and even the elites of the Kwantung Army will lose.

Wuhan saw the caution of the Yue Army, but then it was the tension of Wuhan, what the truth of the matter is, no one can know better than them, at this time, all the senior officials in the Wuhan political axe hated Su Dao's 99th Army, originally they were not sure to defeat the Yue Army, and now they are being so engaged by the 99th Army, they are even more unsure.

The nervousness on the Wuhan side Su Dao didn't care, and he couldn't care about that side, what Su Dao cared about now was how to govern this Jinxi City. He was born as a soldier, and some details of marching and fighting are still a little difficult, let alone governing this city.

And this time the situation is very different from that in Jining, because the army has just occupied Jining, and he has not had time to deploy arrangements, so he can easily capture Jining, and cross Jining without the slightest effort. Jinxi, on the other hand, is in the northeast, and under the management of the Kwantung Army, it has long become an iron plate, and the fortifications in the city are permanent, if it were not for a wing of the Kwantung Army stationed here and fled, it is estimated that the 99th Army would have some difficulties in taking here.

Sitting in the new military headquarters, Su Dao looked up at the huge map on the wall, looking faintly distracted, I don't know what he was thinking? These fighters of the Air Force have been flying in the air every day, and it is not difficult to see the efforts of these Air Force officers and men since the beginning of the day, and their flying level has been far more proficient than at the beginning, so far Su Dao does not doubt that if the fighters of the Kwantung Army come again at this time, they will use a shorter time to destroy the other party.

After the end of the Jinxi War, it seems that the calm has been restored here, and the soldiers are only patrolling and training on time every day, and it can be regarded as singing and dancing, and the Jinxi City that was destroyed by the Kwantung Army has also begun to repair the work, and each family has contributed to the effort, and everyone is united to restore the prosperity of Jinxi City as soon as possible.

"Seat, the Air Force has discovered the Yuben Navy in the Bohai Sea, about fifty nautical miles from the land shore, here." A communications staff officer held the telegram he had just received in his hand, quickly ran to Su Dao's side, and pointed out the approximate location of the appearance of the navy on the huge map.

Su Dao took the telegram with a frown, and carefully read the contents on it, and the originally frowning brow became even more rugged. Unexpectedly, this little devil is really not giving up, and the army has no way to disturb the 99th Army for the time being, so the navy is sent to disturb it. This time the action was really not small, and an aircraft carrier formation was actually dispatched.

Moreover, the most important thing now is that the 99th Army has not yet had time to build a coastal defense fortress, and the only artillery brigade on land will not be able to hit the Navy, of course, unless the Navy is stupid and directly drives the warship to within 10 nautical miles to shoot at the artillery of the 99th Army.

And how to deal with the threat of the Yueben Navy next made Su Dao really hurt. He didn't have a navy, the only two shore defense guns had not yet had time to be installed, and the thirty air force fighters were all fighters, not dive bombers.

"Inform the troops to pay attention to vigilance, and the air force fighters are ready to intercept the naval fighters in the sky above our army." Su Dao glanced at the telegram again and ordered helplessly.

Without the right equipment to confront the navy, the number of fighters in the air force is not enough, and it is certainly not possible to fight from a long distance, and fighting at sea will bring great difficulties to the pilot's escape. In addition, the number of fighters in this navy is also quite large, and if he rushes out, Su Dao is worried that the air force will suffer.

The naval aviation is not as easy to deal with as the army aviation, and the fighters they are equipped with can be described as the most advanced fighters in the country, and the quality of the pilots is also at the top level of the whole country. Although the air force of the 99th Army has made relatively rapid progress, it is still somewhat deficient compared to the original version.

Thinking of the current difficult situation, Su Dao couldn't help but start thinking about whether the next batch of 100 fighters should engage in some dive bombers and bombers, if the model is too single, there will be great restrictions on the next operations, and as far as the current fighters are concerned, they can only conduct an air battle and use aviation machine guns to provide those limited support on land, which is far from meeting the current needs of the 99th Army.

"Report to the military seat, there is a group of people outside the door who claim to be from the Jinxi Chamber of Commerce and want to see you." Just as Su Dao was thinking about the proportion of the next batch of fighters, the guards suddenly walked in and reported.

"Jinxi Chamber of Commerce? Let them in. "According to the convention, when the garrison arrives at the station, the local political axe officials are going to come out to greet them, but Jinxi has been run by himself for so many years, and the schools everywhere offer Chinese courses, and the education methods are generally inclined to Yuehua, and even the local officials are basically inclined to say themselves, so when the 99th Army has not yet entered Jinxi, a group of officials in Jinxi evacuated Jinxi with the Kwantung Army, and in the past few days before the 99th Army arrived in Jinxi, Jinxi was in a state of no political axe, For a time, the order in the city seemed extremely chaotic.

According to the intelligence investigation, it is precisely because some members of the Jinxi Chamber of Commerce jointly contributed money and efforts to send Jiading and others to maintain law and order on the street, otherwise, it is really hard to say what Jinxi will become, originally Su Dao planned to meet these people of the Jinxi Chamber of Commerce again in the afternoon, in order to thank them for their credit in governing Jinxi in the past few days, but I didn't expect this group of people to be diligent and actually found the door by themselves.

Not long after, under the guidance of the guards, three middle-aged men with beards on their mouths walked in leisurely, and when they saw that it was such a young soldier who was standing there waiting for them, the three of them first showed extreme surprise, and then looked around, hoping to find the main owner.

Su Dao's age is so that they can't be associated with a famous general, to put it mildly, judging from Su Dao's apparent age, whether they can have three of their children is still the same thing, and they have never heard that Wuhan Zhengaxe once appointed a young man to be the commander of the army and the commander of the Sixth War Zone.

The Northeast region is extremely strictly governed by the Kwantung Army, even if they are businessmen who often run from south to north, it is very difficult to get some important information from the Guannai here, just like now, they only know that Wuhan Political Axe established the Sixth War Zone a year ago, and appointed Su Dao, the commander of the 99th Army, as the commander of the Sixth War Zone, and all they know is that, as for the photos, they can't get them at all, so they don't know what Su Dao looks like.

"Contemptible Lei Tianzheng, the president of the Jinxi Chamber of Commerce, may I ask if General Su Daosu is here?" A middle-aged man at the head looked at the young man and said respectfully.

After being in the mall for so many years, he wouldn't believe that Su Dao was not here, maybe Su Dao was hiding on the side and secretly watching them at this time, if Su Dao was not satisfied, it is estimated that he would be invited out directly, or he would directly send troops to raid their home, what is it to copy a house during the war years? That's a lot going on.

"On behalf of the Republic of China, I would like to thank you for everything you have done for the country with the Jinxi Chamber of Commerce since the beginning of the year." Su Dao replied with what he thought was the most upright attitude, he was very clear about the energy of the Chamber of Commerce, and Su Dao said that he also planned to build Jinxi and Jinzhou into his military bases, and the support of these chambers of commerce was inevitable in the early stage, so when treating these chamber of commerce members, Su Dao also showed a respectful side as much as possible.

"Oh? I can't imagine that General Su is so young? It's really a hero out of a teenager. Haha, the old man can also see that General Su is a cheerful person, and the old man will no longer talk about anything today. Lei Tianzheng clasped his fists in both hands, turned to the two people behind him, and continued to speak: "This is Luo Zhuang, the vice president of the Jinxi Chamber of Commerce, and this is Wang Bing, the vice president. ”

"What is beneficial to the country and the people, Su should go all out, just for his own selfish affairs, and I hope that Su will be difficult to accomplish, President Lei, please speak." According to the usual practice, the army is stationed in a place, and in addition to relying on the allocation from above, the local political axe also has to bear a part, and now that the Jinxi political axe is gone, isn't it possible that the Jinxi Chamber of Commerce is afraid that it will take the burden and send money to buy the 99th Army? However, thinking of the private matter behind, Su Dao instantly raised his vigilance, he didn't want to do any private things for these three people because of his promise.

"Okay, I Jinxi needs a righteous soldier like General Su, if General Su could come a few years earlier, it is estimated that this northeast land will have long since lost his shadow." Lei Tianzheng said quietly, and then his face changed, and he said solemnly:

"This first thing is a little bit of the heart of nearly 100 members of my Jinxi Chamber of Commerce, who jointly donated more than 800,000 Manchukuo Yen (Manchurian currency, which began to change to the gold standard in November 1935, and was previously the silver standard. As the president, Lei knew the hardships of the soldiers marching and fighting, so he took out more than 100,000 yuan and donated one million Manchukuo Yuan to your ministry as the anti-Japanese war funds in the future. ”

"This second thing is a private matter, but I think it may also be a good thing for your ministry, the old man has a son under his knees, he loves military affairs since he was a child, and he has to make trouble to be a navy when he grows up, and in desperation, the old man sent him to the Royal Naval College for further study, and now he has returned to China for half a year, but he has been shouting that he wants to be a navy, but my country has no naval ships for him to serve, so the old man begs General Su to teach my son on behalf of the old man, don't let him be obsessed with being a navy, if you still want to join the army, the army can also be the air force."
