Huang Ke wanted to prepare this flower for his wife Zhao Xiaowan. Today is Zhao Xiaowan's birthday, and he almost forgot it, but fortunately, he marked it on the calendar in advance, and there were not many things today, so he packed up and left the office area early and returned to Fenglin Road by car.

The lights in the mansion were still on, and when Huang Ke went back, Zhao Xiaowan was sitting on the sofa in the living room reading the Bible. Zhao Xiaowan was already a Christian when she studied in the United States, and she has read the Bible and prayed significantly more these days.

Huang Ke knew that he was worried about Huang Zheng.

Because Huang Zheng was sent to the front line again, Zhao Xiaowan has been angry with Huang Ke for several days, and on this birthday, Huang Ke wants to make up for it, sometimes there is no way to explain to a woman that he is cleared, not to mention that he has so much official business every day, and he doesn't have so much time to explain.

Zhao Xiaowan saw Huang Ke coming back, but there was no change, she continued to sit on the sofa and read, or when Huang Ke handed over a bouquet of flowers, her cold face changed slightly.

"Happy Birthday!" Huang Ke smiled, his expression was like that of a boy who had just fallen in love, a little shy and a little happy.

Zhao Xiaowan's mood seemed to be better, she put down the Bible in her hand, sighed and said: "Commander, I've been worried about it for the past few days, I always feel that something is going to happen, or you can transfer him back......"

Before she could finish speaking, Huang Ke interrupted her, "The front line in Myanmar is now a critical stage, and this battle is critical, and Zheng'er's troops are the vanguard, how can they withdraw at this time?" ”

"So many troops, so many officers, why do you want to send Zheng'er to the battlefield? During the Battle of Songhu, he almost died on the front line; He also took the lead in the Battle of Suzhou, isn't that enough? Zhao Xiaowan said a little angrily.

Huang Ke's face also turned cold, "I naturally have my intentions when I do this." I don't want to say more about the big truth, you have to understand! ”

"You just let your son go to the front line for the sake of your reputation and status?" Zhao Xiaowan also stood up angrily and replied.

"Ridiculous!" Huang Ke slammed the teacup in his hand on the table in front of him.

Zhao Xiaowan also realized that she was a little speechless and wanted to explain, but she knew that the more she explained at this time, the more difficult it would be. Huang Ke angrily walked upstairs.

The conversation between the two ended unhappily again.

Back in his study, Huang Ke sat down and prepared to light a cigarette, but the lighter couldn't light it, so he angrily crumpled the cigarette and threw it into the trash with the lighter.

During this period of time, Huang Ke has been under a lot of pressure, and the main problem is not from the front, but from within. Not long ago, the Wuhan faction united against him, demanding the restoration of the system of voting on major matters of the Central Executive Committee.

Huang Ke took a-for-tat confrontation and demanded that the ministries and commissions in Wuhan move back to Nanjing. The two sides argued endlessly, and at one point reached a stalemate.

In addition, some newspapers have recently sharply criticized his personal policy on a number of issues, such as military family pensions and people's livelihood, and he has ordered Chen Bui to refute it, but the results are not ideal.

Needless to say, the Soviet Union also had a tough attitude in Mongolia and Xinjiang, but they were trapped in the current Soviet-German war and did not dare to continue to take tough measures.

Thinking of this, Huang Ke felt that his head was a mess.

He remembered what Zhao Xiaowan had just said, which was a little hurtful, but it could be regarded as expressing some true thoughts. Ask yourself if he did this because of some of his own factors; Of course, it is more for Huang Zheng's future consideration.

Huang Zheng has a straightforward personality, but also loves adventure, has a strong interest in flying, joining the army is his best choice, and now the experience on the battlefield will soon become the political capital he relies on to survive, which is why Huang Ke insists on sending Huang Zheng to the front line again and again.

What should they do next, Huang Ke can really not intervene much, at the moment he can only do his best to help them arrange, as for how to go in the future, it still depends on their own creation.

……

Huang Zheng didn't know that his parents, thousands of miles away, had a few days of quarreling because of himself, but his mood was also not easy these days.

Unwilling to accept defeat, Shozo Hebe mobilized a large number of troops to prepare for a counterattack to retake Yangon, and the Japanese naval fleet on the sea also began to shell Rangoon and carry out fire strikes.

The comparison between the firepower of the army and the navy is nothing but a small thing. The artillery fire on a destroyer can crush an army artillery squadron, not to mention that the army in Yangon City has no firepower to suppress, and now it is completely crushed and bombed by the Japanese navy, plus they have no navy in the Indian Ocean, so they can only be beaten.

From morning to night, the warships of the Japanese devils poured shells desperately towards Yangon as if they didn't want money, and the large-caliber shells roared with a sharp sound that pierced the air, like heavy fists smashing on the ground, bringing a shocking tremor to the earth.

In the underground air defense room of the former Japanese army headquarters in the Yangon headquarters of the expeditionary force, Huang Zheng, Aung San and others were holding a meeting, and the shelling had been going on for several hours, and there was no intention of stopping at all, and the Japanese army's shelling had no distinction between military and civilian areas, and now the entire city of Yangon had been bombed to pieces.

Aung San picked up a glass of water, and Huang Zheng pressed his hands on the table, his brows furrowed. On either side of the table, Burmese generals such as U Teng Win, as well as Chinese army generals, sat on either side, all of them looking sad and discussing the situation in low voices.

Aung San walked towards Huang Zheng with a glass of water, and at this time, a dull sound of shelling came overhead, and the sturdy air-raid shelter was still shattered, and a puff of earth and cement powder fell on Aung San's head and cup.

He took off his military hat, slapped it indiscriminately, and had no choice but to put the cup on the table in front of him, walked up to Huang Zheng and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

After the interpreter translated the words, Huang Zheng slowly raised his head, and his eyes moved from the map to Aung San's face.

"There is no need to fight, the Japanese army is now far above us in terms of strength and firepower. We can't resist. As he spoke, Huang Zheng rubbed his five fingers, scratched his iron-blue scalp and said: "But General Aung San doesn't need to be pessimistic, the battle on the Tonggu side is now clear, and the teaching brigade besieging the 18th Division is also making good progress in Dagon." I have just spoken to Commander Sun Liren and General Dai Anlan, and they told us to hold out for another seven days, and after seven days we will be able to send reinforcements. ”

This was originally what Huang Zheng used to cheer up, but who knew that after the translation said, it had the opposite effect.

"Seven days? I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out for even three days. ”

"According to this kind of shelling by the Japanese army, let alone seven days, it will not be able to hold on for two days. The Yangon airport is now completely paralyzed, and the Sino-US joint air force stationed in the airport has been withdrawn to Tonggu. ”

"Shall we break through or hold on?"

……

Not only did the officers of the Burmese army sigh after hearing this, but even the officers of the expeditionary force frowned when they heard it, and their faces were full of gloom.

If the high-level officers are all this kind of morale, then the officers and soldiers below don't have to think about it. Aung San saw that Huang Zheng's words had such an emotional impact, so he asked Huang Zheng: "Colonel, what can you do?" Stubbornly holding on will definitely not last for seven days. ”

Huang Zheng slowly raised his head, meditated for a moment, and then said: "I have already reported the shelling of the Japanese Navy, and I am contacting the US Navy over there, and I believe they will send submarines to drive them away." ”

There is neither a definite message nor a clear statement, not to mention that there is very little hope of completely driving out the Japanese Navy just by relying on US submarines.

Huang Zheng regretted this exit, he was a little unofficial, and after thinking about it, he added: "I have already telegraphed the Sino-US Joint Air Force." Captain Fu Guoqiang personally promised that they would launch an air raid on the Japanese navy early tomorrow morning, and the shelling would take another night at most. However, I guess they will not shell again at night, after all, it has been a day. ”

This is a bit helpless, but without the support of the navy and air force, it would be a fool's dream to deal with the Japanese navy on the sea.

Although it was helpless, it was some good news in the end, and the gloom on everyone's faces was reduced. Huang Zheng continued: "This time the attack is a motorized unit of the Japanese army that is good at attack and defense, and it is personally assigned and commanded by the headquarters of Shozo Riverside. ”

Huang Ke picked up a glass of dusty water in front of him, moistened his dry throat and continued: "You can't fight a positional battle with them in this battle. We need to take advantage of our mobility and let them follow our rhythm. ”

As he spoke, he deployed: "The two companies of the Burmese army and the special service battalion are in the city of Burma, and the three companies of the special service battalion of the armed helicopter brigade are maneuvering. ”

Aung San and the others were puzzled, but Zhu Jingxing stood up and patted his chest and said, "Yes!" ”

Before this, Huang Zheng had already discussed with Zhu Jingxing, tonight he took advantage of the night to launch a surprise attack against Kawabe Shozo, the intended goal was to destroy their command system, delay their attack, and the biggest effect was to directly kill Kawabe Shozo's gang.

Zhu Jingxing felt very excited when he heard it, and immediately studied the battle plan, and when Huang Zheng asked him, he had already formulated it.
