Chapter 235: Bloody Retreat
-- Moscow, Soviet Union
Stalin turned in circles with red eyes and shouted, "Leaks, this is an extremely serious leak, there are a large number of German spies in our house, and by the way, Japanese spies, isn't it obvious?" These two countries want to flank us and subvert our Soviet power. ”
Beria bowed his head and said, "We have not yet found the main culprit of this leak, and the person who can know the quantity and type of our military equipment in such detail is probably the senior leader of our party." ”
"Catch! Be sure to catch it, and never let a mouse go. Stalin waved his hand and said, took a breath, sat down in his seat and calmed down, and said: "Now our external situation is even worse, and the other European countries have tacitly agreed to strengthen Germany against us, which is very bad for us." ”
Stalin regained his composure, looked at the map and said, "The Soviets need friends, at least not all enemies, we have China to contain Japan in the east, and we also need someone to contain Germany in the west." ”
Beria was embarrassed and said, "I'm afraid it's difficult, and now the whole of Europe is hostile to us." ”
Stalin touched his beard and said with a smile: "Will Hitler really listen to Britain and France against us?" I don't think it's possible, it's France, not us, that has an enmity with Germany. As he spoke, Stalin touched the map and said, "Let people come into contact with Germany, we Soviets would like to have one more friend, and if we can, we hope to sign a non-aggression pact with Germany." ”
-- Wuhan
Wang Sheng looked at Wuhan, which was becoming increasingly sparsely populated, and couldn't help but sigh that the Japanese army's onslaught in the north and south was still continuing. Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi respectively commanded their troops to fight to the death on two fronts to gain time for the retreat from Wuhan, but they were attacked by the combined blows of Japanese naval guns, aircraft, heavy artillery, and poison gas bombs. How long it will last, no one can say.
"Officer Wang, you see, this is the material accumulation site of our original Jinling Arsenal, and now only one-third of the materials have been transported, and the task is too heavy." A major in military uniform said helplessly, there is only so much for the ship. There are so many materials, and there is no other way than to work overtime day and night to carry them.
Wang Sheng nodded, as the first confidant of ******, he was also a little thin in Wuhan. You can take a look at these hoarding points that have been designated as secrets, in fact, under the great retreat, countless transport trucks have pulled goods back and forth at these hoarding points, and these locations have become open secrets.
"Officer Wang. Wei Hua's people came to deliver the message. Mr. Jiang is back, and he wants to see you. A black-clad guard stepped forward and whispered.
Wang Sheng immediately raised his hand and said, "Okay, lead the way ahead." ”
In a restaurant next to the port of Wuhan, Jiang Cheng looked at the crowded port in the distance from the top of the building, and Li Qian next to him kept counting something with a telescope.
Wang Yong looked at it for a while, touched his head and said, "Boss, is this counting?" My eyes are spent, hey. Qianqian, can you really figure it out? ”
Li Qian said while counting: "This is much simpler than when I practiced the secret weapon back then. Back then, my grandfather chose three of the bees in a nest and tied red silk threads for me to find, do you want to learn? ”
Wang Yong hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, I think it's good to use a gun." ”
Zhou Weiguo came up and said, "Dongjia, that Wang is here." ”
Jiang Cheng touched Li Qian's head and said, "Calculate it, don't be too tired, it's almost enough, Weiguo, let's go down to meet the guests." ”
Wang Sheng had seen Jiang Cheng and knew that Jiang Cheng was now a wealthy man in ******, and when he saw Jiang Cheng, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Director Jiang, I haven't seen you for a few days, I feel that you are even more majestic." ”
Jiang Cheng was appointed as the director of the Logistics Department of the Youth Army at this time, of course, Jiang Cheng was just a name.
Jiang Cheng said hehehe, "Secretary Wang is Brother Jianfeng's most trusted person, Brother Jianfeng told you about this matter." ”
Wang Sheng nodded and said, "To be honest, I have some doubts about this plan, I don't know why Director Jiang didn't speak up with the commission, but wanted to act secretly?" ”
Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "You're wrong. It's not that I don't tell the commissioner, it's that the commissioner already has this idea, but you should know it too. How precious our materials are, until the last moment, I'm afraid no one will dare to do it, and there is no specific destruction plan now, only one such spirit. Chief Chen is also just bent on transporting all the things away, once the Japanese army comes to the city, there will definitely be a large amount of materials that will not have time to destroy or burn, which requires us to add a fire, to put it bluntly, we are the second insurance, it is best to burn the commission, and we will burn it if it is not burned. ”
Wang Sheng said clearly, "I see, I don't know what Director Jiang needs me to do?" ”
Jiang Cheng pointed to Zhou Weiguo, who was standing in a military posture next to him, and said, "I have people, this is Zhou Weiguo, a high-achieving student studying in Germany, a special warfare expert, I will also have the support of the Youth Gang here, but the hoarding point of materials is confidential, I need to know these places and the situation of transportation, and when the time comes, it will start to destroy." In fact, this is also for Brother Jianfeng, Director Wang thinks about it, and at the critical moment, we put this credit on Brother Jianfeng, and Brother Jianfeng's far-sighted image will be established. ”
Wang Sheng immediately rejoiced, "This is not difficult, I can do it, then I will cooperate with this Zhou chief to ensure that this thing is done well." ”
Jiang Cheng nodded, and at this time, Li Qian walked down and said to Jiang Cheng, "Owner, they have changed shifts, and they have already calculated that the transportation materials for a day are about 5,000 to 8,000 tons, plus the land should be more than 10,000 tons." ”
Jiang Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "As far as I know, Wuhan has hoarded more than two million tons of materials, and it will definitely not be able to be shipped in this way, it seems that our preparations are indeed necessary." Director Wang, I have other things, I can't stay in Wuhan for a long time, everything is left to you and Weiguo. ”
Wang Sheng nodded firmly.
-- Modern
Jiang Cheng returned home and immediately drove to the company.
Entering the company, Jiang Cheng saw that Sun Ning was holding a meeting for everyone, only to see Sun Ning giving orders like a general, looking at Sun Ning's appearance, Jiang Cheng had the illusion of seeing a female general.
"Manager Sun, you come with me to the office." Jiang Cheng put his hands behind his back. Said with a serious face.
"Boss Jiang, you go back to the office first and wait, I'll come back after the meeting. Okay, continue what I just said," Sun Ning glanced at Jiang Cheng and said.
Jiang Cheng suddenly felt that his status was plummeting, looking at Yu Na who was covering his mouth and snickering, Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes, and honestly returned to the office to watch the latest news.
An hour later, Sun Ning walked in, looked at Jiang Cheng and smiled, "What's wrong?" Angry, huh? Who told you to give me a look? Saying that, Sun Ning hugged Jiang Cheng from behind, and the plump **** made Jiang Cheng feel a little flustered.
"Ahem. Seriously, how has the acquisition of tulipwood been during this time? Jiang Cheng patted Sun Ning's hand away and asked.
Sun Ning turned on his iPad and said, "I have purchased more than 80% of the tulipwood flowers in my country, which can use a lot of our manpower and material resources." If we can't, we're going to lose a lot. ”
Jiang Cheng squinted and took out his mobile phone and called it to Zifeng.
"Big brother, do you miss me? Why did you suddenly think to call me? Zifeng said after connecting.
"Our cooperation was a success. Our people are also satisfied. We are going to give the country a new advanced technology, and we have spent a lot of effort on this technology and even sacrificed the lives of some intelligence personnel, but it is very precious. Jiang Cheng winked at Sun Ning and said.
Sun Ning shook his head helplessly, and Zifeng said over there, "Big brother doesn't want benefits, okay, big brother say it, I'll tell the above, I don't know if I can promise it." ”
Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes and said, "I don't need it now." But I hope the country remembers, okay. You wait at home, I'll give it to you right away. ”
Sun Ning looked at Jiang Cheng and hung up the phone and said, "What do you want?" ”
Jiang Cheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "I want more, I want the production line and industrial technical drawings, but I don't need it yet, there will be a large number of workers and equipment in Yan'an on the Republic of China side soon, well, let's talk about it then, I'll go and send something to Zifeng first." ”
- Zifeng's house
Zifeng took Jiang Cheng's USB flash drive and said with a smile, "Thank you, big brother, I will hand it in immediately." ”
Jiang Cheng pointed to his home and said, "You just need to come to my house less, every time I see you in my house, I feel uncomfortable." ”
Zi Feng's eyes were full of cunning and said, "Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, big brother has done bad things." ”
Jiang Cheng's eyes rolled and said, "There are really ghosts, and I'm afraid of whether I do anything bad or not." I won't tell you, I still have something to do, so I'll go first. ”
Zi Feng waited for Jiang Cheng to leave, and hurriedly walked to a room upstairs, and it was Qian Hong in the room.
Qian Hong took the USB flash drive, took out the computer and opened it, glanced at it, and found that it was actually a paint formula, and said with a stirring in his mind, "Is it that?" Zifeng, you continue to protect Jiang Cheng's family, I will go first, if there is any situation, even if you tell the headquarters. ”
Purple Wind saluted, "Yes, I promise to complete the task." ”
In a heavily guarded laboratory, Qian Hong nervously looked at several scientists in front of him, who were preparing the paint according to the recipe in the USB flash drive.
"Where did this formula come from, it actually uses the mutual restraint of the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, this person is either a madman or a genius." A white-haired middle-aged man said with a sigh.
Qian Hong asked curiously: "Is there a scientific basis for this Chinese medicine reciprocity?" ”
The man nodded and said, "Of course there is, in fact, the so-called symbiosis and mutual restraint are scientifically called allelopathic effects and reciprocal effects, which are actually direct or indirect, beneficial or harmful effects on another plant or itself through the allelopathic substances released into its environment. For example, castor beans and mustard greens, tomatoes and cucumbers, cabbage and celery have this phenomenon, in fact, not only plants, according to this theory, everything will cause changes in each other, the tulipwood added to this paint makes the chemical formula of the whole paint change drastically, but I don't know whether this change is good or bad. ”
Qian Hong immediately said, "Then let's give it a try, Ding Lao, I suspect that this paint is a new type of invisible paint." ”
Ding Lao nodded and said, "Okay, I will produce the paint as soon as possible, now this point is not enough to meet the experiment, you wait for me for two days." ”
-- Wuhan Port
The waterline of a steamer has reached the limit, and the people on the ship are crowded, if the future generations see it, they will definitely think of the scene of the morning rush hour of the subway, some short people are even squeezed in the air and can't move, the captain Li Yun shouted, "Everyone bear with me." It'll be there in half a day, okay, we're going. ”
The ship slowly left the harbor. They were accompanied by several wooden boats and steamers, all of which were carrying people or goods to Yichang.
Li Yun looked at the surrounding scenery and secretly recited Buddhist scriptures in his heart, the air force of the national army could not resist the surprise attack of the Japanese army at all, and every transportation was a gamble.
This time, Li Yun was out of luck.
"Airplanes, devils' planes." Li Yun was so frightened by a shout that he trembled. When I looked back, I saw only three Japanese planes flying quickly from a distance.
"Quick, quick. And what about anti-aircraft guns? Prepare air defense quickly!! "As an extremely rare steamer, Li Yun's ship was specially equipped with an anti-aircraft gun.
The gunner, Qiu Baoding, was originally a refueling worker, and he had just learned to shoot a cannon when he heard the captain's call. Qiu Baoding roared, "Captain. The anti-aircraft guns are still in the cabin, there is no place outside. ”
It turned out that in order to take a little more people, the deck of the ship was occupied with people and luggage at this time, and the sailors who did not have much combat experience gave all the gun emplacements to the refugees.
". Do you want to die? Throw all my luggage into the water and set up the anti-aircraft guns, hurry!! Li Yun yelled at Qiu Baoding, then turned around and said, "Z-shaped maneuver, try to avoid the devil's plane." ”
The plane finally flew over the ship. The anti-aircraft machine guns and rifles of several other ships rang out, desperately dispersing the Japanese planes in the air.
Only three Japanese planes were seen diving down in line. Machine gun bullets struck a bloody shot in the crowd on the deck of the ship, and wails and cries rang out.
"Quick, fight, don't let the devil's plane fly down." Li Yun saw the tragic situation of the wooden boat next to him, and he only felt extremely frightened in his heart, he was just begging for a living on the river, where had he experienced this.
The Japanese plane was about to dive again, and at this time, Qiu Baoding shouted, "Okay, the artillery mount is up." Li Yun watched excitedly as he manipulated the anti-aircraft gun and fired at the diving Japanese plane.
"All the same, all the same." The 20-mm shells sent a barrage over the ship, and the Japanese planes did not expect that there were anti-aircraft guns on the passenger ship, and one of the planes was immediately set on fire and spun down. The other two Japanese planes saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly flew away.
"Amitabha, Amitabha." Li Yun secretly said a few words in his heart, and said in his mouth, "Quick, speed up and leave, and help the wounded." ”
Li Yun knew that the Japanese army would soon come to retaliate and said, "Park the ship in the nearby shoals and run aground, the devil's plane will come back soon, we are a live target, we have to dodge first." ”
But before Li Yun could sail the ship to a suitable place, eight Japanese planes flew over from the east. This time, there were actually five 97 heavy explosion planes with bombs.
Qiu Baoding was bitter in his mouth, so he could only desperately hit the shells, hoping to stop the Japanese plane, but after all, there was only one anti-aircraft gun, and a Japanese plane flexibly turned in a circle, came to the back of the ship, and dived and dropped a 500KG bomb.
The bomb exploded on the ship, countless stumps and flesh flew everywhere, blood sprayed all over the ship bright red, and Qiu Baoding and his anti-aircraft guns disappeared without a trace.
"No!!" Li Yun at the other end of the deck went crazy and shot at the Japanese machine in the sky with his pistol, and the Japanese machine flew over his head without caring and dropped another bomb, this time it was actually an incendiary bomb.
The ship was nothing more than a civilian steamer, and it had no defense at all, the fire ignited instantly, the ship was full of stench, the order on board was already in chaos, and the cries of shouts, help, and explosions were mixed together. Some refugees simply jumped into the water to survive.
The Japanese plane did not let go of these refugees and ships, and dived and fired and dropped bombs again and again, until the ship sank completely, and the boat accompanied by Li Yun sank to the bottom of the sea, and the word "Jiangxing" on the ship disappeared into the water was the last picture Li Yun saw.
It's over Boss Lu, I hope that one day, our boat can really drive the foreigners' ships out of the Yangtze River as you said, I really hope that there will be a day.
The corpses and debris on the Jiang Xing ship floated all the way back to Wuhan, and the people at the Wuhan dock looked at the swollen corpse and fell silent.
Lu Zuofu only felt that he was going crazy in the next moment, but he desperately controlled himself and shouted, "Don't be stunned, let's all move, the devils don't want us to withdraw, they want to leave us all behind, we must not follow their wishes, we must retreat successfully!" I'd rather die than die as a slave!! ”
Hearing Lu Zuofu's roar, the workers and refugees at the port also roared. People began to desperately carry and evacuate again, their eyes were full of tears and perseverance - China will not admit defeat, China will not surrender, and the Chinese would rather die than die as slaves! (To be continued.) )
