Chapter 210: Poison Gas

Jiang Cheng crossed back to Black Iron Island, ready to transport the rest of the arms and materials, Jiang Cheng opened his mobile phone and found that there was a text message, but it was sent by Coco, saying that he was looking for her for something, and Jiang Cheng just wanted to talk to her about speeding up the transportation of arms.

The phone was quickly connected, and the time on the other side seemed to be still night, and Coco's tone was a little sleepy, "Brother Cheng, what's the matter?" ”

Jiang Cheng said embarrassedly, "Coco, are you still resting?" I'm sorry, but I want to talk to you about business, where are you now? ”

Coco yawned and said, "I'm in New York, I've been here for the past two days, so come over when you have time." ”

Jiang Cheng looked at the vast sea outside Heitie Island, and said embarrassedly, "I won't be able to find you in about four or five days, where will you be by then?" ”

Coco thought for a moment and said, "In four or five days, I should be in Paris." Is it convenient? ”

Jiang Cheng immediately said, "Of course, okay, let's talk when the time comes." ”

Jiang Cheng called Sun Ning again, and Sun Ning was working energetically at this time.

"My boss, what's the matter?" Sun Ning asked.

"Help me book a plane ticket to Paris in five days, and besides, tell you the news, the last Yankee attack on me made me a little scared now, and it's better to have your protection when you go abroad." Jiang Cheng said teasingly.

Sun Ning rolled his eyes and said, "My boss, you are too unruly, obviously you are going to take a plane abroad, so you can't hide it at all." ”

Jiang Cheng said hehehe, "It's good that you know." ”

After Jiang Cheng sent some of the remaining things from Heitie Island back to Yan'an, he immediately returned to modern Shanghai, and under the eyes of Yu Na and Sun Ning, he boarded a plane to Paris.

"Paris, big brother, will you buy me clothes?" Zi Feng shook his legs and asked Jiang Cheng with a smile.

God knows why every time Jiang Cheng takes a plane, the seat next to him is always Zifeng.

"Okay, okay, as long as you don't disturb me. Just buy it for you. Jiang Cheng shook his head and said.

"Big brother, don't you really think about going down to us to buy things, it's really good and cheap." Zifeng asked with big eyes.

"I want to too, but I really can't transport it, I bought a bunch of cannons and disappeared in the country, so it's no wonder you have to go crazy." Jiang Cheng shook his head helplessly and said, "You must know that there are many things that I can't decide. ”

Zifeng pouted unhappily and said, "The baby is unhappy, the baby is emotional." Is it necessary for your boss to be so afraid of us?"

Jiang Cheng stopped talking, looked out the window, and soon the plane arrived in Paris.

In a 5 star hotel in Paris. Jiang Cheng and Zifeng came to the presidential suite of this hotel, looking at the two bodyguards standing outside the door, Jiang Cheng stepped forward and said, "I'm Jiang Cheng, a friend of Miss Coco. ”

The black bodyguard glanced at Jiang Cheng coldly, and immediately showed an extremely flattering smile and said, "It turns out that Mr. Jiang has arrived, and Miss has been waiting inside for a long time, this is your sister Miss Zifeng, come, Miss Zifeng." We had sweets and snacks ready in the next room. ”

Jiang Cheng smiled and said to Zi Feng, "Didn't you say that you came here to protect my safety?" I'm safe here. ”

Zifeng snorted and said, "The dog bites Lu Dongbin, bye-bye." ”

Jiang Cheng entered the room and saw Kou Ko practicing yoga in yoga clothes, and saw Jiang Cheng. Kou asked "Brother Cheng is here, wait, I'll change my clothes." ”

Jiang Cheng nodded, after a while. Kou Kokou, who was dressed in a dress, walked out, "Brother Cheng, come on, tell me what to do with me?" ”

Jiang Cheng lit a cigarette and said, "Four things. First, when will my remaining planes arrive? ”

Kou Ko took out her notebook, looked at it and said, "It will be delivered in two months, after all, they are all old-fashioned models, and it is not difficult to manufacture." ”

Jiang Cheng said happily, "That's good, the other second thing, how is the matter with the tank?" ”

Coco shrugged and said, "The gold has been scattered, but tanks are more sensitive after all, and we still have to communicate, this matter can't be rushed." However, there are quite a few military factories in Ukraine that are in a state of shutdown, and the economic situation is not good, you can rest assured, it is only a matter of time. ”

Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Third, I want some cannons, if they are field artillery, many mortars that I wanted before are required to be lightweight, by the way, not self-propelled." ”

Kou Ko peeled a candy and fed it to her mouth, nodded and said, "I know, the older the better, preferably from World War II, you garbage picker, how about this?" The D-30 howitzer of the former Soviet Union, with a caliber of 122 mm, weighs only three tons, but this heavy gun is also a sensitive thing, and I have to go to open the joints. ”

Jiang Cheng wanted this most important purpose to train artillery during the Republic of China, and it was one thing for the artillery to be fired, and it was another thing to shoot accurately, and it was always impossible to produce elite artillery from theoretical study.

Jiang Cheng immediately clapped his hands and said, "Okay, bring me thirty doors, the price is easy to say, 1,000 rounds of ammunition and 200 rounds of special ammunition." ”

Coco shrugged and said, "I really can't say how much this thing is right now, I'll tell you when I have news." ”

Jiang Cheng pointed to the next door and said, "Then Kou Kokou should hurry up, but they have been recommending weapons to me over there." ”

Kou Kou couldn't help but be stunned when she listened, this was the first time Jiang Cheng spoke slightly threateningly.

Jiang Cheng smiled and waved his hand and said, "Don't be nervous, the last thing is a big order, I want 100,000 SKS, 4,000 RPD machine guns, 500 2B14 mortars, 200 recoilless guns, the ammunition is the same as before, 1,000 rifles, 2,000 machine guns, 1,000 shells, by the way, the weapon bullets I bought last time are very powerful, so let's do it, 1,500 rifle bullets, and 4,000 machine guns." ”

Coco's eyes lit up and said, "Brother Cheng, worthy of being my brother's friend, I'll give you a discount, even if it's 200 million yuan." ”

For Jiang Cheng, who is sitting on hundreds of tons of gold, this two hundred million is really nothing, Jiang Cheng immediately said, "Deal, also, I need a lot of explosives." ”

Coco nodded and said, "This is no problem, it's very easy to do, how much do you want?" ”

Jiang Cheng calculated for a moment and said, "Get me 3,000 tons." ”

Coco was stunned, what is the concept of 3,000 tons of explosives? The equivalent of a little boy is fifteen thousand tons, which is one fifth of a little boy.

Kou Ko thought for a moment and said, "Well, how about selling you 60 million yuan for explosives?" ”

Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Yes, let's transport them to Black Iron Island, and help me deliver them as soon as possible." Thank you. ”

Seeing that she was finished with business, she pointed out the window and said, "Brother Cheng, this Paris is a romantic capital, you can't just go back here for nothing, let's have a good time." ”

Looking at the extremely excited Kou who licked her tongue, cold sweat flowed out of Jiang Cheng's head, this is simply a female hooligan, and Ying Tianlin is really a bit similar.

-- Time and space of the Republic of China

After a month of rain, the sky in Hubei, Anhui and other places finally began to clear. Japanese planes once again came to Wuhan and other places to reconnoiter and bomb, and large-scale air battles between the air force of the Nationalist Army and the Soviet Volunteers and the Japanese army had already broken out four or five times.

In this month, the Japanese army did not achieve nothing, in the heavy rain, the Japanese army cleared more than 1,000 mines from the Yangtze River, and transported a large amount of supplies to the front line, and the construction of the airport in Anqing was completed, behind these achievements were the lives of tens of thousands of Chinese laborers.

"The next target of the Japanese army is Jiujiang in our theater of operations, the fortress of Hukou before Jiujiang. Our three divisions had been fighting the Japanese for three days, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. Xue Yue pointed to the map and said to Chen Cheng, "Chief Chen, my opinion is that Jiujiang is on the edge of the Yangtze River, and it is difficult for us to hold here. It is better to focus the defense on the Lushan area south of the Jiujiang River, where we can counterattack the Japanese army's lines of communication at any time. ”

Chen Cheng nodded and said, "It's been a year of fighting, as long as the Japanese warships can reach the place." It's hard for us to win, and you're right to have such intentions, but I still hope to keep the Japanese at the mouth of the lake. Let's send two more divisions to the direction of Hukou first, and Jiujiang will put one division as a reserve. ”

At this time, several guards walked in with an officer with bandages all over his body, and as soon as the officer saw Chen Cheng, he cried and rushed forward and shouted, "Sir Chen, Sir Chen, you must avenge us, Hukou Hukou is lost!" ”

Chen Cheng grabbed the officer and drank it until "Lost?" How did you lose it? Don't you have three divisions? Why did you lose the mouth of the lake without sending a telegram? Say, "Have you fled again?" ”

The officer's wounds were still bloody, and he said with a whimper, "Chief Chen, wronged, really wronged, the brothers are desperate, we fought for three days and three nights, half of the ammunition in the fortress was knocked out by us, the devil's aircraft and artillery were constantly bombarded, the Zhang Wenmei battalion guarding the beachhead was wiped out, and none of them surrendered, and the right hand of Brigade Commander Jin of the 57th Brigade was broken and he didn't get out of the line of fire, we were really desperate." However, the devil is not human. They are unconscionable, three divisions, three divisions, brothers. ”

As he spoke, the officer couldn't stop crying, and the black blood and sweat dripped on the ground, looking extremely desolate.

"The Hukou Fortress is so big? How could it be all gassed? And, what about the telegraph? Why don't you send telegrams? Xue Yue helped the officer to the chair, motioned for the guards to pour him a cup of tea, and said.

"Xie, thank you, sir, the devil was a poison gas bomb last night, planes, warships, and cannons, all of them were poison gas bombs, I don't know how many they hit, but it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of rounds, and the whole fortress is full of screams of brothers who have been poisoned by poison gas, and the devil took the opportunity to launch a large-scale attack, and I escaped because I was patrolling outside the fortress." The officer said tremblingly, his eyes full of fear, and the fact that his comrades from the three divisions had been slaughtered like this made him feel a little unacceptable now.

Chen Cheng slammed his fist on the table, gritted his teeth and said, "Shameless, shameless." ”

Xue Yue shook his head and said, "We don't have poison gas bombs to counter, so the devil naturally has no fear of using poison gas." ”

Chen Cheng let out a breath and said, "There is no telegram because something happened to the radio, and the Japanese army will come to Jiujiang immediately, and order the troops to retreat to the Lushan Mountains immediately." ”

The Ninth Theater, under the command of Chen Cheng, soon withdrew from Jiujiang before the Japanese army arrived, and Jiujiang was declared to have fallen.

Okamura Ninji rode into Jiujiang Castle in a car surrounded by countless Japanese soldiers.

"Look there, it is said to be the place where Mei Zhou Lang and Zhou Gongjin trained during the Three Kingdoms period." Okamura Ninji pointed to a high platform by the Yangtze River and said.

"Your Excellency the Commander is really knowledgeable and talented, and his subordinates admire him." Several officers hurriedly patted their asses and said.

"China is really a great country, how lucky we are to be born in this era, you know, thousands of years before the Sino-Japanese War, China was our teacher." Okamura Ninji said with a sigh, and the other officers looked at each other, crooked mouths and didn't know what to say.

Okamura Ninji, a well-known China expert of the Japanese army, has done intelligence work for many years, lived in China for a long time, and once served as Sun Chuanfang's Japanese adviser. Okamura knew many high-ranking people in China and knew all aspects of China very well, and even one of his sons died of illness in Shanghai.

It is precisely because of his understanding of China that Okamura Ninji has many views that are completely contrary to those of the Japanese military leadership.

As early as the outbreak of the September 18 incident, Okamura Ninji was very disapproving, believing that North Korea and Taiwan were still fully developed. Now that it has occupied such a large area as the northeast and completely become China's mortal enemy, it is unnecessary.

At the time of the outbreak of the Battle of Rehe, Okamura Ninji was also very dissatisfied with this battle, believing that the Japanese military top brass was too ambitious.

Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Okamura Ninji had resolutely issued a decision against the expansion of the Lugou Bridge Incident, believing that if the number of troops was increased, Japan would inevitably fall into a protracted war with China, and then it would definitely be defeated.

Unfortunately, at that time, Okamura Ninji was just a division commander and had no right to interfere in the decision-making of the military headquarters.

After being appointed commander of the 11th Army, Okamura Ninji also knew that the battle in Wuhan was extremely difficult, but in the words of his colleague Yamamoto Isoroku: Although I strongly disapprove of this battle, since the order has been given by the superiors, as a soldier, we must obey the order and do our best to help Japan win.

Okamura Ninji led six divisions to attack Wuhan under a tangled mentality.

"Your Excellency, the Nationalist Army has fled to the south, what should we do next?" A staff officer stood up and asked.

Okamura Ninji shook his head, and said helplessly to his subordinates who didn't know the memory of the present and the past, "We only have 130,000 people, and now there are two ways, either to attack Wuhan in the north, or to attack Nanchang in the south, if we attack Wuhan, we will definitely fall into a bitter battle, of course, I believe that we will win, but at this time, what should we do if the national army attacks Jiujiang and cuts off our retreat?" ”

The staff officer nodded and said, "Then attack Nanchang?" ”

Okamura Ninji touched his beard with a smile and said, "Pass the order, our troops will attack in two ways, all the way from the west of Lushan, along the Nanxun railway line to the south, occupy the important town of De'an, and then occupy Nanchang." On the other hand, along the Dexing Highway, it attacked westward from the De'an area, attacked in a roundabout way, bypassed the fifteen divisions concentrated there, and attacked Wuhan. ”

After talking about the plan, Okamura Ninji waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't bother me anymore, help me find a boat, I'm going to go fishing in Fuqin." (To be continued.) )
