Chapter 289: The Third Army Changed Dramatically

Jiang Cheng looked at the document while talking to Sun Ning about what to prepare next, time passed quickly, slowly the sun set in the west, Yu Na knocked on the door and came in and said with a smile, "You two have endless meetings, even if you don't eat lunch, are you going to be hungry for dinner?" ”

Jiang Cheng and the others realized that it was not early, Jiang Cheng threw the pen and said, "Then let's do this today, let's go, the three of us will go to dinner together." ”

"Yo yo yo, is someone getting more and more bold now, and he invited two beauties directly." Sun Ning looked at Jiang Cheng with a smile.

Yu Na also shouted, "That's it, that is, which one wants to eat with you?" Sister Sun Ning, the two of us will go to eat, let him have a table by himself. ”

Sun Ning put on his coat and asked, "Are you willing to let your brother Cheng be alone?" Sister Nana, you take my car, and you drive yourself to follow. Saying that, he took Yu Na's hand and said, "But you can't bear it, I'm willing, let him be alone for a while, who knows if this guy is messing with flowers and grass outside." ”

Jiang Cheng touched his nose and followed without answering the question.

The next night, Jiang Cheng was at home

Zifeng and Yu Na played each other in front of the TV game, and Ying Tianlin, Chen Guomin, and Chen Ce came to Jiang Cheng's house in turn.

Chen Guomin looked at the painting hanging on Jiang Cheng's wall, touched his chin and said, "Your painting seems to be a little old, which painter painted it?" ”

Ying Tianlin also leaned over to look at it and said, "Last time, Jiang Cheng gave me a lot of European and American antique furniture, which can be intercepted by our boss Jiang, it must be a famous artist's handiwork, but I think this painting is only in the middle of the stream in terms of the use of color and the glorious design." ”

Jiang Cheng glanced at it and said, "This painting was given to me by a German friend, and it has a history of more than 70 years, so it's okay." ”

Zifeng probably lost a game, so he angrily tore open a lollipop and ate it, glanced back and said, "The author's name of this painting is only abbreviated." AF, who knows who. ”

Jiang Cheng said hehehe, "He's not a good painter, but he's a little valuable, okay, let's go up and get down to business first, Nana, you accompany Zifeng." ”

Zi Feng pouted, pointed at Chen Ce and asked, "Why can he go up?" ”

Chen Ce looked at Zifeng with hazy eyes and said, "Why don't I stay and play with you?" ”

Zi Feng looked at Chen Ce's eyes, then looked in the direction he was staring at, covered his chest and shouted, "Big rascal, who wants to play with you!" Hum. Sister Nana, let's watch the anime, "Is This a Zombie" seems to have been updated. ”

Jiang Cheng and the four of them came to the room and sat down, Chen Guomin handed them to a few people and said, "Boss Jiang, is there any big deal for us all to come this time?" ”

Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Last time I gave me the goods, my last family was very satisfied, and I used it well, and now I need to make additional orders." ”

Saying that, Jiang Cheng took out a notebook and said, "First gasoline and aviation fuel, I want 10,000 tons each." ”

Ying Tianlin hurriedly shouted, "I'll take this, General Chen, don't be angry." After all, I am a Saudi national, and if I don't do this oil business, I won't be able to see anyone when I go back. ”

Chen Guomin raised his hand in understanding and said, "It's okay, understand." Understand. ”

Jiang Cheng nodded and continued, "The other is rocket artillery, they are full of praise for our 107, so we have to place an additional order again, and buy another hundred this time." In addition, 50,000 sets of rockets were added, and special bombs accounted for one-tenth. ”

Chen Guomin's mouth was about to crooked, and this 107 rocket is getting harder and harder to sell now. First, 107 is actually not as spiritual as the national legend in the world, many countries have similar products, and Western countries still use these weapons at every turn to blame China for exporting arms and destroying peace, and it is clear that they are the largest arms sellers. Now that Jiang Cheng has asked for so many rocket launchers, the Ministry of Defense is about to give Jiang Cheng a pennant.

Jiang Cheng continued, "In addition, we need 24 122 heavy guns. ”

Chen Guomin looked at Ying Tianlin, Ying Tianlin arched his hand, Chen Guomin nodded and said, "We also took this." ”

Since Yan'an was already able to produce anti-tank guns and mortars, Jiang Cheng no longer bought them from Hyundai, and Jiang Cheng only bought one million mortar shells from Ying Tianlin.

After the artillery talk, Jiang Cheng began to talk about light weapons, the rout of the Japanese army and the surrender of a large number of puppet troops made the Eighth Route Army get light weapons that could arm nearly 100,000 people, and these weapons were quickly distributed to various second-level troops as weapons, but considering the next step of army expansion, the existing more than 100,000 main forces of the Eighth Route Army were simply not enough to cope with the pressure from three sides.

Jiang Cheng thought for a while and said, "I want 50,000 SKS, that is, five or six half, another 3,000 machine guns, 1,000 52 recoilless guns, 500 anti-aircraft machine guns, 60 million 7.62 bullets, 500,000 anti-aircraft machine gun bullets, and 200,000 recoilless guns." Replacement parts are also required. ”

Ying Tianlin grabbed Chen Guomin and said, "I have to make this, these big heads of rocket artillery are all for you, you have to leave some soup for me to drink." ”

Chen Guomin shrugged and said, "You know that we actually have the largest inventory of these light weapons, but okay, for the sake of our friendship, isn't it?" Xiao Jiang should have a mine behind him, so let's give it to us. ”

Jiang Cheng shook his head and smiled, "Okay, I want 100,000 anti-infantry mines and 8,000 anti-tank mines." Finally, there are tanks and airplanes. Jiang Cheng looked at Ying Tianlin and said.

Ying Tianlin waved his hand and said, "You talk to my sister about this business, not me, and looked at Chen Guomin after speaking." ”

Chen Guomin said with a smile: "The kind of aircraft and tanks you want, we really don't have them in China, they are all things of World War II." Let's just give it to that little sister, we still have a lot of opportunities to cooperate in the future. ”

After talking about the order, everyone began to talk about some details and interesting things, and soon, the time reached midnight, and everyone left.

-- Lou Annoying

Lou Fu is located in the west of the ancient friendship of the city, here is backed by the Luliang Mountains, the Fen River flows here, at this time Lou Fu, everywhere is yellow military uniforms, these with steel helmets, sluggish looking at the sky is the third army led by Sugiyama Yuan, after the big tiger ditch was attacked by the 129th Division, it was chased by the tank troops led by Er Xu for thirty miles before gaining a foothold, everyone fled exhausted, this is also thanks to the strict hierarchy of the Japanese army, here is the hinterland of China, Everyone knows that they can only survive by relying on collective strength, otherwise they don't know how many people will flee.

Takeda Yoshio kept patrolling the wounded barracks, and this patted him on the shoulder. That joke, everyone knew that Takeda Takeo was not liked by Sugiyama Moto, and they knew that Takeda Takeo had always opposed this attack, so many people secretly said, "If only His Excellency the Commander was willing to listen to Takeda-kun." "Takeda-kun is a little younger, but he knows the true situation of the Eighth Route Army, he suffered a loss last time, unlike the commander, he doesn't know what we are facing at all, he only knows that he wants us to attack, attack."

Takeda Takeo naturally knows the change in the morale of the military. He was quiet, and whenever someone said something like this, he would scold, "What we should do now is to unite and get more people back to Tokyo to see the cherry blossoms, instead of blaming each other." ”

Such remarks made Takeda Yixiong also get the praise of some veteran officers. Sugiyama was angry and anxious when he learned about it, but one of his generals wanted to compete with a Nakasa and was jealous, and he was out of character, so he could only prevent Takeda Takeo from entering the headquarters.

But the problem needs to be solved, how can the more than 30,000 Japanese troops break out of the encirclement.

Sugiyama looked at the map. I thought hard and meditated, but I couldn't make up my mind, the sky is still the sky of the Eighth Route Army, and no matter how I move, I will be discovered. Continuing to attack Taiyuan, even he no longer believes that he can achieve victory, retreating to the north, how to break the encirclement of the 120th Division before the 129th Division catches up.

Sadachi Yoshimoto walked in. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Your Excellency, I have an idea, but I don't know if it's appropriate. ”

Sugiyama Moto's eyes were bloodshot and he asked, "Say it." Now as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I don't want to give up. ”

Yoshimoto Sadachi pointed to the map and said, "We are actually only surrounded by the north and south now, the east and west sides are mountains, I believe that the strength of the Eighth Route Army is not too much, we can take Shijiazhuang Town to the west, through Songjiagou to Mitsui Town, as long as we get here, we will jump out of the encirclement, it is now February, there are no mosquitoes and beasts on the mountain, as long as you pay attention to the route, bring enough food, and then choose two troops to break off, rescue half of the people, the problem should not be big." ”

Sugiyama Moto looked at the route, shook his head and said, "This route is too dangerous, once the Eighth Route Army has one or two thousand people blocking in front, we will be completely annihilated." ”

Yoshimoto Sadachi said, "It's because we don't dare to think about it, and the Eighth Route Army must not dare to think about it, the Eighth Route Army can march and intersperse in the mountains, there is no reason why our imperial army can't do it, and the Eighth Route Army actually doesn't have many chariots and artillery, and it is impossible for them to deploy heavy troops in such an unimportant place, so I think there is a lot of hope." However, for the sake of speed, we had to abandon all heavy weapons, and we couldn't even bring too many 92 machine guns, so to speak, we were born after death. ”

Sugiyama Moto, with his eyes closed, shook his head and said, "I'd rather die under siege than die on the way to retreat, and I'm sure most of the others think the same way." Okay, you go out, I'll think again. ”

Yoshimoto nodded, walked out of the headquarters, and came to a room.

In the room were the officers who had been waiting for a long time, and Takeda Yoshio and others were in the middle of the crowd.

Seeing Yoshimoto Sadachi come out, everyone hurriedly gathered around and asked, "How is the situation?" Does the Commander have any plans? Or did you agree to our plan?"

Yoshimoto shook his head, looked at Takeda Takeo and said, "Takeda-kun, as I expected, your idea was vetoed, and the commander would rather die in the encirclement than die on the way to retreat." Moreover, he thought that this road was too dangerous, and as long as the Eighth Route Army was slightly prepared, our army would be completely annihilated. ”

Takeda Yixiong glared and said angrily: "Where is this, what is the way to retreat?" This is on the way out of the encirclement! At the end of the Han Dynasty in China, during the period of the Three Kingdoms, Yinping and the Sword Pavilion were separated by more than 100 miles, and it was also the residential area of the Diqiang ethnic group, and it was also a lofty mountain range, which was difficult to walk. ”

The other officers also responded one after another, and everyone knew that in the case of being cut off from logistics, the fate of being besieged by the main force of more than 60,000 Eighth Route Army and countless second-line Eighth Route Army and Jin Sui Army that were about to come up could not think of any other result except the annihilation of the whole army, as for the reinforcements, the mobile troops that could be mobilized in the entire North China were already here, and it would probably take a month to wait for the reinforcements, and at that time, maybe everyone would be turned into white bones.

Ushijima stomped his feet and said, "As long as we go up the mountain, the Eighth Route Army will not be able to surround us at all, even if we can't withdraw all, it is better than the annihilation of the whole army, besides, at the very least, we can also go up the mountain to fight guerrillas like the Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army can fight, why can't we fight?" ”

An officer suddenly pulled out his samurai sword and said, "Everyone, now the situation is urgent, Your Excellency the Commander hesitated, delayed the fighter, in the past, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, killed Song Yi and defeated Qin, and today Sugiyama Yuan is the same, who is willing to fight with me!" ”

Ushijima was so frightened that he hugged him and shouted, "Are you crazy? That's Your Excellency the Commander, the former Minister of War, a general, and if you kill him, you won't survive. Takeda-kun, you quickly persuade. ”

Takeda shook his head, but instead looked at Ushijima and asked, "General Ushijima, can you lead us out of the encirclement?" ”

Ushijima said angrily, "When is this, if we warn us, it will be reasonable and unreasonable." ”

The officer shouted, "For the sake of the great cause of the empire, we can no longer let the incompetent people stay in high positions for a long time, only by killing Sugiyama Gen, we will have a way out, otherwise we will not advance here, and we will not retreat, what is the chance of victory?" That's a fool general, who only knows how to attack, and is not as good as the war literacy of a squadron leader! ”

Immediately, more than a dozen young officers also drew their swords and guns to go to the army, several older ones shouted loudly, and some people were silent, obviously not wanting to care about this matter. The scene was chaotic for a while. Takeda clenched his fists, not knowing how to weigh this matter for a moment.

"Report the report." A communications soldier stammered, looking at the crowd in a hurry, not knowing what was going on.

"What's wrong? Say! Yoshimoto said quickly, hoping to divert his attention.

"A call from Tokyo, Sugiyama Gen did not listen to orders, acted without authorization, trapped the army in danger, and harmed the empire in embarrassment, and now he is relieved of his post on the spot, and the military of the Third Army is discussed by Chief of Staff Yoshimoto Saichi and the commanders of each division, and after the troops are safe, Sugiyama Mototo will return to China to report on his work. -- General Staff Headquarters of the Imperial Japanese Army" After the signal soldier finished reading, the whole room was silent.

"Okay, it's too timely, let's go, let's go and let His Excellency the Commander give way, and use Takeda-kun's strategy, let's take the mountain road through the mountains! Rest assured, everyone. Ushijima said with a smile to Takeda Takeo.

Takeda nodded and said, "Yes, since Tokyo's order has come, it means that Tokyo has the same idea as us." Don't worry, let's go find Sugiyama Moto! ”

The others were also smiling and applauding, as if they could break out of the encirclement immediately.
