Jiang Cheng, who came to Germany, couldn't help but feel that the atmosphere in Germany and the United States was completely different, and he could feel a Nazi Party fanaticism when he walked on the streets of Germany. ”

Chen Nan sighed, "Germany seems to be hesitating, recently German diplomacy has become two factions, one faction supports China, the other faction supports Japan, but now the forces supporting Japan have become bigger and bigger, after all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that China is actually not Japan's opponent." After the end of this arms shipment, Germany's diplomatic attitude toward China may change greatly. ”

Jiang Cheng nodded, and thought in his heart, "We can't let Germany completely fall to Japan so quickly, and for the sake of the future, Germany's strength had better be improved a little more, and the worse Europe fights, the better it is for China." But it's still early for these things, so let's wait until later. ”

Jiang Cheng said: "Do students in Europe study well? Does China's war affect them much? ”

Chen Nan said with a smile, "There are influences, but they are all positive influences, they are all studying hard, hoping to return to China as soon as possible to serve the country, and many people strongly ask to change to the military academy, so we discussed with the German government and let them take the exam by themselves, not to mention, there are really a lot of them." ”

Jiang Cheng shook his head and smiled, "If it is compared to the exam, our nation will not lose to anyone." If you can't buy German arms for a while, you should go to the Czech Republic and Switzerland and buy some weapons such as machine guns and small anti-aircraft guns. ”

Chen Nan took out a notebook and wrote it down to show that he understood.

After Jiang Cheng replenished the goods, he looked at the account book and traveled back to Black Iron Island.

Sure enough, the warehouses on the Black Iron Island were already stocked with several containers of mechanical equipment and a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns.

Fortunately, Heitie Island has solar power equipment, and Jiang Cheng brought a lot of food from Germany, although the German food is half a pound and half a pound and a tael from the British.

When Jiang Cheng returned to Yan'an again, it happened that the battle report of Lin Sanhu's second ambush arrived in Yan'an, Jiang Cheng looked at the battle report handed over by Chairman Mao and couldn't help but admire, "Lin Sanhu is Lin Sanhu, and this Pingxingguan is even better than the one fought in history." ”

Chairman Mao frowned and said, "But the loss is also greater than in history." I was worried that this battle would confuse the minds of the commanders and fighters, and mistakenly think that we could already fight a frontal battle with the Japanese army. ”

Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "Chairman, I don't think so, after the fall of Shanxi, we just need to convene the commanders and fighters to discuss it, and everyone will naturally understand our current situation." ”

Chairman Mao nodded in agreement and said, "Our Chairman Jiang put us on the fire grill to roast." Hehe, the results of the 8,000 Japanese army, I don't know how the Japanese will report on this matter. ”

Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "That's good, in this way, the prestige of our Eighth Route Army will be completely out, and I will send the war report to Europe and the United States later, with this war report, I believe that we can attract many overseas Chinese to come to us." ”

Chairman Mao took a puff of cigarette and said with a smile, "That's good, I now feel that there is a shortage of talents, especially industrial talents and educational talents." Although He Changgong's school has opened, it will take a year or two for the students to graduate at the earliest. By the way, if you look at Lin Sanhu's battle summary to the central government, I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you again. ”

Jiang Cheng looked at it, and it was mainly a judgment on the tanks and planes of the Japanese army and the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army. In particular, it was pointed out that the Japanese army's defensive power was actually higher than the offensive power, especially the Japanese army's accurate shooting and grenadier canisters caused great casualties to the attacking troops.

Jiang Cheng sighed, "Basically, I've finished talking about the combat characteristics of the Japanese army, Chairman." There will be many weapons against tanks in the future, but in the future, we will focus on guerrilla warfare. I recommend choosing a bazooka or a recoilless gun, and the best way to deal with an aircraft is an airplane, but for us we don't have this strength for the time being, so my idea is to use an anti-aircraft machine gun as the main means of defense. In addition, I have some thoughts about the Battle of Taiyuan. ”

Chairman Mao shook his head and said, "I'm not good at tactical things, please discuss these things with Mr. Zhu." In addition, by the way, you can discuss the solution to the Taiyuan problem later. They are on the front line, better informed. ”

Jiang Cheng asked curiously, "Old Zhu is always in Yuci, I don't know if there is a plane to pass?" ”

Chairman Mao spat out his cigarette and said, "I'll send a telegram and ask Yan Xishan to help transfer a plane to pick you up." ”

Jiang Cheng thought about it, and he had another point in time and space. Placing it in Shanxi will be of great benefit to the future battle in Shanxi, so he agreed, "Okay, I'll go there, but my identity-"

Chairman Mao said with a smile: "In this way, our party was originally going to send Comrade Zhang Yinggao to Shanxi to inspect the local rural situation, so you should dress up as his entourage in order to hide people's eyes." I will send a telegram to Mr. Zhu and Vice Chairman Zhou in advance, so that the two of them can receive you and facilitate some of your work. ”

When Jiang Cheng heard this, he felt very good and said, "Okay, I don't know when to leave?" ”

Chairman Mao took out a suit of clothes from the cabinet and said, "I'll send it later, there is Lin Sanhu's record there, and the slowest will be the plane in the afternoon the day after tomorrow." You take this garment, and you can wear it when the time comes. ”

Jiang Cheng saw that it was a military uniform of the Eighth Route Army, which was very rough to the touch, and said with a smile, "Chairman, it seems that you have premeditated." Okay, I'll stay here for two days and leave the day after tomorrow. ”

Speaking of both ends, after Itagaki Seishiro received the news that the transport team was wiped out again, he had a premonition of fear for the first time, modern warfare is logistics, and now the logistics line has been completely cut off, and the 21st Wing will face the danger of running out of ammunition and food, and the food can still go to the gun, where to find this ammunition? Now the 21st Wing has begun to control the ammunition of the soldiers, and the artillery shell fire has already required the signature of the brigade leader, which is simply a shame for the imperial army. Itagaki Seishiro looked at the map and had to admit that the commander who ambushed him was very smart, and now he only had two choices, either desperately and bring the remaining troops to the death battle of Pingxingguan, or retreat immediately and retreat the troops to the area of Guangling to facilitate supplies.

Itagaki Seishiro stood up and thought for a while, then punched the map hard and shouted, "Someone, record the order." ”

The staff officer, who had been waiting outside, immediately came in and saluted and prepared to take notes.

Itagaki Seishiro said resolutely, "Immediately order all the members of the 42nd Wing to bring all the ammunition supplies they have brought with them, go to Heixingguan to participate in the battle, and send another telegram to Commander Hideki Tojo." Request support. ”

The commander of the Miura Toshishi Brigade next to him said worriedly, "Won't we be too risky like this, we don't have trucks now, and we can't scrape much of the big trucks, and if we only rely on horses, we can't bring too much ammunition, and I'm afraid that we can only support 10 days of high-intensity combat under the flat pass." If there is no breakthrough or reinforcements after 10 days, we are in danger. ”

Seishiro Itagaki said calmly, "If you are a general, how can you easily retreat?" Besides, I don't believe that there is a Chinese army that can hold back our onslaught for ten days. ”

Toshitoshi Miura continued, "The Art of War is not a victory or a defeat, in case—"

Seishiro Itagaki shouted, "The Shina army can only sneak attack secretly, how can it be a big weapon, and our army has just been hit hard, the Shina army will definitely not be defenseless, not to mention - do you really want to return to China like this?" ”

Several of the other officers looked at each other. Now the Japanese troops from all walks of life are singing triumphant songs, and if they really go back like this, the cold bench of the reserve will not be able to escape. He shouted in unison, "We are willing to fight to the death!" ”

Itagaki Seishiro was ready to concentrate all his forces and fight against the water, Jiang Cheng and Zhang Yinggao got on the plane to Shanxi together, probably the 115th Division's record really added a lot of points to the Eighth Route Army, and the plane came to pick up Zhang Yinggao and his party at noon the next day.

When Jiang Cheng got off the plane, he saw that Zhou Guansheng and Mr. Zhu were already waiting below, of course. They were nominally here to greet Zhang Yinggao, and Jiang Cheng was holding the bag. Hiding between the teams and getting off the plane, he nodded secretly at the two, and the two of them also smiled at each other, so they ignored him and stepped forward to talk to Zhang Yinggao, and the officials sent by Yan Xishan also came up and said for a while before taking Zhang Yinggao and his party to stay and rest.

In the evening, Zhang Yinggao fooled the official away. Coming to Jiang Cheng's room with Zhou Guansheng and Mr. Zhu, Zhang Yinggao smiled and said, "Duke Zhou, Mr. Zhu, I brought 203 safely, and I will leave the rest to you." I understand the confidentiality system, so I'll go to rest first. ”

Zhou Guansheng nodded and said, "Brother Wentian has worked hard, take a good rest." ”

Closing the door, Mr. Zhu first said, "What did Lao Mao do when you asked you to come this time?" Do you want to make a big move? ”

Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Pingxingguan is a great victory, but the problem has also been exposed a lot, I am here to increase the combat effectiveness for everyone, I will first show the two of you the new toys I prepared for our Eighth Route Army, in addition, do you need my help with the Taiyuan problem?" ”

Mr. Zhu took the mobile phone in Jiang Cheng's hand, and looked at the weapon pictures inside with Zhou Guansheng. After a while, he nodded and looked at the weapon information and said, "That is, this bazooka and recoilless cannon are picked among the two, I think it is still a recoilless gun, after all, the information shows that the guerrilla warfare of the Japanese army against us is mainly a cage policy, the firing distance of the bazooka is too short, it is not very convenient for us to deal with the pillbox in the later stage, or the recoilless gun is more suitable, although the weight is a little larger, but it is completely within the allowable range, as for the problem of air defense, the anti-aircraft gun is not suitable for our army, Or an anti-aircraft machine gun is more suitable, our combat mobility should be ranked first, but the anti-aircraft machine gun you brought us last time was good, but it was too heavy, if only there was a lighter one. ”

Jiang Cheng recorded some of Mr. Zhu's requests and said, "I understand, I will solve these problems when I go back this time, and the other is Taiyuan, I and the chairman have some ideas like this-"

Just when Jiang Cheng was discussing with Mr. Zhu and others how to maximize the rescue of the mechanical personnel in Taiyuan City, a new guest came to the Japanese army headquarters in Shanghai. Matsui Ishine smiled and said to this person, "Kagesa-kun, it's been hard all the way. ”

This person was none other than Kagesa Zhenzhao, who was also the founder of the later famous Mei Agency.

Ying Zuozhen said respectfully, "Your Excellency, Commander, I really dare not bother you to greet you personally. ”

Matsui sighed and said, "I'm not worried about victory, although there are many Chinese troops, but there are very few elites, this time there are three divisions, the 9th, 13th, and 101st divisions and the Taiwan garrison, victory must belong to us, but I am afraid of the sharp blade in the dark, and the destruction of the Third Fleet makes me feel uneasy." The explosion at the port of Tianjin made me sleep uncomfortably. ”

Kagezo smiled, "I'm here to deal with this stinger, and I've heard that some young people already have some ideas." ”

Matsui nodded and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to see them." With that, he led Kagesa to a conference room, where there were already a lot of people. Matsui said, "These are the elites of our Imperial Intelligence Department. Let me introduce Miss Nanzao Yunzi, Lieutenant Toushan Geming, Zhongxi Gong Shaozuo, who has just arrived from North China, and our friends from the Empire, Mr. Zhang Xiaolin and Mr. Chen Zemin. Let's talk, the war is urgent, I won't stay here, come to me if you need anything. ”

After everyone watched Matsui leave, Kagesa sat down at the top and said, "Let's talk about your gains. ”

Nanzao Yunzi was the first to say, "Let me first talk about the case of the destruction of the Third Fleet, and it has been confirmed that someone used a flashlight to transmit a signal that day, and the direction of the signal was in the direction of Nanhui. In addition, we found a large number of traces of mines at the site of the explosion, but it was impossible to confirm what type of mine it was, but it was certain that this unit would not be a regular army of China. ”

Nakanishi continued: "The Tianjin bombing. We got a lot of clues, especially the corpses and ammunition shells, but we have never seen the model of this ammunition case, the 5.45mm caliber bullets are temporarily absent from all weapons, and the clothes and helmets on their bodies are also something we have not seen, but it is certain that they are all yellow people, and maybe even the China. ”

Kagesa asked, "Why do you say maybe?" Shouldn't it be? ”

Nakanishi shook his head and said, "We found Russian on the ammunition they left behind, so." It is also possible that they were Soviet. ”

Kagesa nodded and said, "Your suspicions are very reasonable, I remembered the military situation reported by the Fifth Division. The Eighth Route Army, which ambushed the Fifth Division, was said to be well-armed and had a large number of the latest German equipment, but on the second ambush battlefield, we found a lot of ammunition left in Russian. China and the Soviet Union are now getting closer, and we have every reason to believe that the Soviet Union has fully intervened in the war of the Empire. However, the specific truth still has to be found out slowly. One more thing, how is the investigation of penicillin? ”

Toushan Geming stood up and said, "About this matter, please, I have learned a lot of secrets with Mr. Zhang, and I want to talk to you." ”

When Kagesa heard this, he said with great interest, "Toushan-kun lives up to your father's prestige." You speak. ”

Toushan Geming was a little impatient when he heard about his father, frowned and said, "Penicillin first appeared in Yu Qiaqing's house, according to Mr. Zhang, penicillin came from a young man, this young man is the spokesperson of Weihua Group, and the person behind Du Yuesheng and others. ”

Shadow Zuo's eyes lit up and he said, "Then who is this young man?" What is it called? Where are the people? Do you have a picture of him? ”

Toushan Pavilion looked at Zhang Xiaolin clearly, Zhang Xiaolin said with a haha, "This old man is not very clear, he is extremely mysterious, and I only have a relationship with him, and there are no photos, but I know that the production of penicillin is definitely in the hands of this young man." ”

Ying Zuo smiled and nodded, thinking in his heart, "There was news from Germany that the important reason why Hitler suddenly opened the door to China's military purchases was penicillin, it seems that this person should already be a figure in the army of the Chinese government, this Zhang Xiaolin knows something, how can he not know the name if he has a side, and his appearance can also be painted with paintings, he must want some benefits, otherwise he will not instigate Toushan to make a gesture for him, or raise a dog to give bones." ”

Ying Zuo continued, "Let's talk about other things, the advantage of our imperial army in Shanghai has become more and more obvious, but the consumption of materials is too great, we urgently need to find a channel to buy a large number of materials from the people of China, such as grain, cotton, coal, medicine, of course, the price is negotiable." ”

As soon as Zhang Xiaolin heard this, his eyes immediately turned red, he risked his life and infamy to be a traitor, isn't it for this white silver, why can the old immortal Huang Jinrong and the junior Du Yuesheng make a lot of money, and the power is greater than him, now the situation has changed, with the support of the Japanese, Zhang Xiaolin believes that he will definitely become the real underworld emperor in Shanghai.

Chen Zemin next to him couldn't help but be a little funny when he saw Zhang Xiaolin like this, his goal was to become a big man, where could he look down on a person like Zhang Xiaolin who had no big ambitions.

Zhang Xiaolin immediately smiled and said, "The imperial army is in need, for the sake of Sino-Japanese friendship and early peace, I am duty-bound, I can contract as much as the imperial army needs." ”

"Yaga! Zhang Sang, have you forgotten your duty, you can only ask for what the imperial army gave you, and you can't think about what you don't give it! Toushan Geming heard Zhang Xiaolin say this, and immediately clapped the case and shouted.

Ying Zuo sighed, and couldn't help but feel that this Toushan was still too immature, and because of Toushan Geming's father's bad face, he scolded, so he said, "Mr. Zhang is willing to help us, naturally it is the best, but we also hope that Mr. Zhang can have enough sincerity." ”

Zhang Xiaolin rolled his eyes and said, "That's natural, I have sacrificed a large number of protégés for the imperial army, and I still pay for the bereavement of these protégés." ”

Nanyun Zaozi said with a smile: "But isn't Mr. Zhang's power also rising, I heard that even the famous red stick Lin Huaibu under Du Yuesheng's sect has also voted for your door." Oh, by the way, he has been by Du Yuesheng's side for a long time, he should know very well about penicillin, and the young master of the Yu family, I heard that he is still in Shanghai and has not left. ”

Zhang Xiaolin looked at Nanyun Zaozi and didn't speak, and Ying Zuo said, "It's late today, so let's do it first, let's disperse." (To be continued......)
