Stand quietly in the ruins.

At this moment, the Japanese warships had stopped shelling.

The original Japanese Marine Corps Headquarters was empty. Only messes everywhere.

The smoke is pungent.

Firelight everywhere.

There are corpses of Japanese criminals everywhere.

There were Japanese marines and the 12th Division of the Japanese Army.

It was quiet.

There is no danger.

Standing on the ruins, you can see the Japanese warships.

A cruiser.

Five destroyers.

The strength is very strong.

Don't think about such a mixed fleet, torpedo boats or something.

Torpedo boats could only deal with lone battleships.

But if the two warships cooperate with each other, the torpedo boats can only be killed.

Of course, long-range bombing is not impossible.

It's just that the hit rate is very low.

That's going to have to be tried.

Prepare 500 kg of aerial bombs.

Attempt to target the Japanese cruiser for dropping.

Outcome......

"It's too far away to deliver."

"It's too far away to deliver."

The system sends prompts continuously.

Zhang Chu: ......

All right. It's not okay to be lazy. You have to sail a boat.

But the situation in front of us is clear. To provoke the fleet of the Japanese invaders, that is impossible. I had to wait for the Japanese warship to be left alone......

Of course, you can also find a way to leave the Japanese warship alone......

Release the torpedo boat.

Embarkation.

Initiate.

Hasten.

Galloping towards the Japanese fleet.

Judging that he might have been discovered by a Japanese destroyer, he immediately turned around and galloped towards the northwest.

Over there is the mouth of the Yangtze River.

If the situation is not right, you can hide in the Yangtze River.

Outcome......

There was no movement.

The Japanese destroyers did not follow.

Disappointed......

I had to turn back. Continue the provocation.

It was hoped that the Japanese would send a destroyer, or a cruiser to catch up in person.

In this way, the Japanese warship was left alone. There's a chance.

However......

The Japanese warships still did not catch up.

Zhang Chu: ???

No way?

The Japanese invaders didn't move at all?

It shouldn't be!

Haven't you found yourself yet?

No reason.

The lookout posts of the Japanese navy are very powerful, and they drink cod liver oil every day. The visual acuity of those eyes is 5.5 or higher.

Why not chase it?

Subconsciously look up at the sky......

Worst!

It's the Japanese planes coming!

Grass!

It turned out that the Japanese were waiting for the plane!

They're not stupid either. The speed of the torpedo boats was already perceived. The destroyer may not be able to catch up.

Even if you can catch up, you need to consume a lot of fuel, and it's not worth it.

It is better to inform the aircraft carrier and dispatch carrier-based aircraft.

Sloppy......

Forget that behind the Japanese fleet, there are also aircraft carriers.

These aircraft carriers are located more than a hundred kilometers from the shore. There is also a large number of destroyers around to protect it. It was simply impossible for a torpedo boat to get close.

The plane was much faster than the torpedo boat.

In fact, it is.

Carrier-based aircraft quickly got to the head of the torpedo boat.

Even if Zhang Chu was desperately accelerating, it was impossible to avoid the carrier-based aircraft.

What to do?

What else can I do?

Only individual anti-aircraft missiles with crossbows.

Otherwise......

He was the one who died.

Prepare your weapons now.

Aim.

Launch.

"Hoo ......"

"Boom ......"

The missile hit accurately.

The Japanese carrier-based aircraft was blown up in the air and turned into a ball of fireball.

Unfortunately, the system was unresponsive.

Individual anti-aircraft missiles are chrono weapons and do not have any rewards.

But it doesn't matter.

Solve the danger in front of you first.

Fortunately, the Japanese only dispatched a carrier-based aircraft to chase after them. Otherwise, the combination of two machines is definitely dangerous.

Turn around.

Keep running.

"Nani?"

"Nani?"

In the distance, the Japanese navy was taken aback.

The carrier-based aircraft was actually shot down?

What's going on?

How did the other party do it?

How could a small boat of the other side shoot down a plane?

Even if it is a steel monster like a cruiser, if you want to shoot down a plane, you need to use many, many anti-aircraft guns!

Studied but cannot comprehend......

"It's back!"

"It's back!"

Suddenly, a small black dot appeared in the distance.

The Japanese were furious.

It's that torpedo boat again!

It dared to kill it back.

Yaga!

This is a provocation!

Didn't the Imperial Army of Japan want dignity?

"Yaga!"

"Catch up!"

Three destroyers were immediately ordered to outflank them.

It just so happened that the Japanese destroyer had no other tasks, and it was just a good lesson to teach the other party a lesson.

As for fuel or something, I'll talk about that later.

"Boom ......"

"Boom ......"

There were destroyers that fired directly.

Shells fell near torpedo boats. The distance is about a hundred meters.

Zhang Chu: ......

Grass! The plan failed again!

Originally, it was to lure the Japanese to chase after them with a single ship. As a result, the Japanese were not fooled.

Three destroyers in one go!

Finished!

Not a chance.

I had to turn around and run for my life.

Keep accelerating.

so as not to be overtaken by Japanese destroyers.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The Japanese destroyers opened fire while chasing.

On the foredeck of these destroyers, there are two twin 127-mm naval guns. That is, four doors. Rounds of firing, shells constantly.

Fortunately, the torpedo boat was fast enough to gradually widen the distance between it and the destroyer.

Eventually, there is a complete detachment.

I didn't dare to go back and continue the provocation.

so as not to be hammered.

Depressed.

White ran away. No chance.

Silly returned to the mouth of the Yangtze River. Slow down and come in cautiously.

There are mines here.

It was personally deployed by him, Zhang Chu. It's dangerous.

In case you hit ......

Thankfully not,

The torpedo boat went ashore in Jiangyin without incident.

Found it empty. No one else was seen. No other torpedo boats were seen either.

Frown.

Did they all go to sea to fight?

These guys!

I finally saw a few people. Inquire about it. It was learned that all the torpedo boats were heading towards the mouth of the Yangtze River.

"Inside?"

"That's right! Inside! ”

"What are you going to do inside?"

"I don't know."

"Thank you!"

Zhang Chu frowned.

Min Rujiang, Cao Zhiyong, Wang Hesheng, what did they do when they entered the Yangtze River?

Could it be that the Japanese warship came over there?

Can't sit still.

Drive a torpedo boat upstream.

All the way to gallop.

Soon return to the Jinling River. Still no torpedo boats were seen. But seeing the river is very busy.

I don't know who or where I found a large number of boats, which are constantly shuttling back and forth on the river. The river is densely packed with boats. The ship was densely packed with troops.

There are yellow-green military uniforms. That's the Whampoa lineage.

Hey?

There are so many descendants of Whampoa?

Could it be that reinforcements are coming? So many reinforcements coming?

Dock.

See a couple of gendarmes.

Suddenly I felt a little strange. The one who took the lead was actually Remington!

Surprised.

How did this guy get here?

Still a gendarme?

"Battalion Commander Lei!"

"Adjutant Zhang!"

"How do you ......"

"Oh, Commander-in-Chief Yang transferred me from the 25th Division and transferred the military police."

"Promoted?"

"Major promoted to lieutenant colonel."

"Oh. Not bad, not bad. ”

Zhang Chu nodded.

Sometimes, Yang Sanmu seems to be quite far-sighted in doing things.

For example, many meritorious veterans were transferred out to serve as gendarmes. Not only did it protect these veterans, but it also made it easier for the gendarmerie to stabilize the situation.

You look at Remington, it turned out to be the commander of the guard battalion of the 25th Division.

Does anyone not know that this guard battalion of the 25th Division is nine deaths? Who dares not to admire the people who come out of it?

Wherever you go, who dares to bare their teeth?

Even if the Whampoa troops come, in front of these veterans, they have to be people with their tails between their legs.

Otherwise, these veterans will teach you how to be human.

"How many people have been transferred out of the guard battalion?"

"One hundred. All in the gendarmerie command. All promoted to the first level. ”

"Not bad!"

Zhang Chu nodded.

Yang Sanmu can also be regarded as helping the 25th Division retain some vitality.

It is estimated that Huang Baitao is also very happy.

After all, the guard battalion can fight. But you can't all die, can you?

Put to death and come back to life!

Call me!

Sacrifice is a martyr!

If you are lucky enough to live, go to the gendarmerie.

It's also an incentive.

"By the way, our division commander is looking for you."

"Where is he?"

"I'll take you!"

Remington took Zhang Chu and came to Huang Baitao.

Seeing Huang Baitao, Zhang Chu was a little surprised.

But it was this teacher who didn't want to die, and the current situation is very bad.

The whole person was weak and dying. There is an out-of-gas but no in-gas.

"What's going on?"

"It's a swing."

"How long?"

"It's been a long time."

"Has the medic seen it?"

"Yes. Herbs were also eaten. But it didn't work. ”

"Ah......h

Zhang Chu frowned.

Swinging is actually not a serious disease in the afterlife.

If there's quinine, it's easy.

If not, cinchona cream will do.

It's a pity that now there is nothing.

Wrong.

It's the others who don't. He Zhang Chu has it.

Look through the list of medicines.

Sure enough, I found quinine.

It's an injection.

I took out a bottle and injected Huang Baitao.

At the same time, leave ten vials and ask someone else to take charge of continuing the injection. Until Huang Baitao got better. Such a desperate division commander must not die!

A guard battalion of the 25th Division, the Japanese invaders eliminated are equivalent to several regiments of other troops!

"Adjutant Zhang......"

Suddenly, I heard Huang Baitao's voice faint.

Zhang Chu nodded. Indicates that you heard it.

"I want to ...... cannon"

"I want to ...... cannon"

Huang Baitao said with difficulty.

Zhang Chu: ......

"I'll give you ten 85mm cannons."

Zhang Chu responded loudly.

It seems that this cannon can be wholesaled in large quantities?

With just a million dollars, ten 85-mm cannons can be upgraded.

Although it seems to be a bit chicken. But it's better than nothing.

The 85-mm artillery battalion last time seemed to be fighting well. The range is still very long.

In the end, it's a sentence, better than nothing.

The firing range of 15 kilometers is enough to suppress the artillery fire of many Japanese invaders. Aiming directly at the Japanese tank or something, it is even more relaxing and enjoyable.

"How many ......"

Huang Botao wanted to work hard to get up. But it can't be done.

The biggest characteristic of this pendulum disease is that the whole body is weak and weak, hot and cold. It's hard to even stretch out a finger.

Even a person as tenacious as Li Yunlong can't hold on.

"Ten doors!"

"Eight-millimeter cannon!"

Zhang Chu said word by word. Make gestures at the same time.

This time, Huang Botao heard clearly. A slight flush appeared on his face. It's like a return to the light.

"Lift ......"

"Lift ......"

Huang Botao shouted weakly.

The people around him hurriedly lifted him up. Put on a stretcher.

Zhang Chu: ......

Well, this damn guy.

Dare to love is not to believe in yourself. Even if it's just your last breath, check it out for yourself.

Yes!

Arrange delivery now!

Upgrade ten 85mm cannons. Spend 1 million funds.

Soon, the cannon arrived.

A total of ten large trucks. Pulling a cannon in the back. The carriages were loaded with shells.

The 85-mm cannon itself weighed less than two tons. Ordinary trucks can pull it easily. From this point of view, it is actually very suitable for plain maneuvering.

But not in the mountains.

Its march was too long and it was difficult to turn.

Moreover, the undulating roads in the mountains cannot be effectively balanced. It's easy to roll over.

In other words, it can only be used on a large scale in the plains.

Why is a 75mm field gun called a mountain artillery? It is because it is convenient to maneuver in the mountains.

"Ah......h

"One, two, three......"

Huang Botao carefully counted.

Counted over and over again. Finally, it is confirmed. I finally fell asleep.

Zhang Chu didn't feel right.

Huang Botao's appearance seems to be not as simple as being sick.

It seems that it has also been hit by an outsider?

"What's going on with your master?"

"He ......"

Remington stopped talking.

Zhang Chu waved his hand. Let irrelevant people back away.

"Say."

"He was reprimanded."

"Who?"

"Chief."

"Chen Cheng?"

Zhang Chu frowned.

Chen Cheng is Lao Jiang's number one confidant. How could he reprimand Huang Botao?

Huang Botao is fighting so hard, does Lao Jiang still have reason to reprimand?

......

But it's not surprising to think about it later.

When Zhang Lingfu was destroyed, it was Huang Baitao who was active in the rescue, and he was also removed as a result.

Unlucky guy.

There is no background. Every time it's a black pot.

On the contrary, the guy who rescued Li Tianxia thousands of miles and didn't work hard was fine in the end.

It can be seen that in Lao Jiang, black and white are often reversed and right and wrong are confused.

Lao Jiang may not know the truth at all.

"What reason?"

"Poor fighting."

"What?"

Zhang Chu's face was strange.

Huang Botao is like this, which is also called ineffective combat?

The guard battalion of the 25th Division has been exhausted one stubble after another, and the division commander has personally gone into battle every time, and he is still ineffective in combat?

What about Sun Yuanliang? Isn't it going to be late?

"The Eighty-eighth Division was commended. The 25th Division was reprimanded. ”

"Ah......h

Zhang Chu didn't know what to say.

The reason for this is certainly not as high-sounding as the Ministry of Military Affairs said.

Most of them are accused of Huang Botao's black state behind the scenes.

In these years, there is no shortage of people who make small reports. Especially around Lao Jiang.

Those who could fight were slandered, and in the end they all stood aside.

A group of villains around Lao Jiang can't be beaten. The result was a triumphant turnaround to an island.

The employment is unknown, hehe......

"Also, there's something ...... happen."

"Say."

"Commander-in-Chief Yang may also be removed from his post."

"Why?"

"Chen Cheng is coming."

"Ah......h

Zhang Chumu ran for a moment, and then thought of the word picking peaches.

Could it be that some people above think that the Jinling defense battle is now in a good situation, and then they will kick Yang Sanmu away, and then come to enjoy the fruits of victory?

It's over. Absolutely.

Some people can't fight on their own. But it's very good at getting people behind the scenes.

Run far away when it's dangerous. Seeing that there was an opportunity, he immediately jumped out. Yang Sanmu is a miscellaneous brand, how can he make him famous?

So I came to find Yang Sanmu.

It just so happened that Yang Sanmu was packing up his things and preparing to leave.

Seeing Zhang Chu coming, Yang Sanmu nodded. Motioned for everyone around them to withdraw. Including those female soldiers.

"Gu Fan Bucket is coming."

"Not Chen Cheng?"

"It's Gu Rice Bucket."

"Ah......h

Zhang Chu was speechless.

I thought it was Chen Cheng coming, but I didn't expect it to be Gu Rice Bucket.

That's even worse.

Chen Cheng's personal ethics are at least okay. Although the ability is average. But this Gu rice bucket is indescribable.

Thankfully, it wasn't Towneberg......

If that guy arrives, Jinling will really be a tragedy.

"The one surnamed Tang will also come."

"What?"

"Gu and Tang serve as the commander-in-chief of Jinling's defense and the commander-in-chief of defense respectively."

"Then you ......"

"I have been transferred to the post of deputy commander of the Third Theater of Operations."

"Who's the job?"

"Gu Fan Bucket is also a part-time servant."

"Ah......h

Zhang Chu was speechless.

This Gu rice bucket really won Lao Jiang's favorite!

But for the motley army, it is very unfair. But what can you do? If you do not obey orders, you will be disobedient, and others will have reason to punish you and deprive you of your military power.

"In addition, Jinling's troops will also have a big change of defense."

"How?"

"Both the New Fourth Army and the Dian Army will be transferred. All miscellaneous armies will be transferred. Including Huang Botao's 25th Division. ”

"And then?"

"The descendants will take over the defense of Jinling."

"Oh......"

Zhang Chu's mentality gradually calmed down.

This is a national matter, and it is not his turn to intervene. I can't get my hands on it.

It is estimated that Lao Jiang thinks that in fact, the Japanese are not remarkable. A group of miscellaneous armies can block the Japanese invaders, so if they change to the elite descendants, they will definitely be able to fight better. Is......

Let's just let the Whampoa family compete with the Japanese invaders!

"Where are you going?"

"Guangde."

"Understood."

"Zhang Chu!"

"Here!"

"From now on, you will be relieved of all your duties. You're free. ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Chu nodded.

Although Yang Sanmu is doing this too much. But it's also a procedure.

He has the power to remove himself from any office.

Of course, it does not include those on the side of the 19th Route Army.

After all positions are relieved, there is no reason for others to use their positions to pressure them.

"Welcome to Guangde to find me."

"I will."

Zhang Chu nodded.

Then he took his leave and left. Then came to the New Fourth Army garrison.

Here, the New Fourth Army also received an order. Preparing for unplugging. All the troops, all packed.

See Wei Chengping. So I walked over. Inquire about the situation.

Wei Chengping smiled bitterly.

"We're going to Jiangbei."

"Where is Jiangbei?"

"I didn't say it explicitly. But it was necessary to leave the Jinling Defense Circle. ”

"When are you going to pull out?"

"Tonight."

"The troops that replaced you have arrived?"

"Seventy-fourth Army."

"Oh......"

Zhang Chu suddenly understood something.

Wouldn't my torpedo boats be used as transport ships?

Grass!

That's a torpedo boat! Not a transport ship!

What a mess!

It was supposed to be a good defense, but suddenly there was a big change?

Lao Tzu's torpedo boats were used for fighting. It's not for transportation. Which bastard gave the order?

Turned around and came to the position of the Dian army.

It was found that the Dian army was also preparing to march. Fan Tianxi and the chief of staff were talking about things.

"Adjutant Zhang, please!"

"I've been stripped of all my duties."

"That's even better. Free body. There is no need to salute. Have a seat. ”

"Thank you!"

Zhang Chu sat down.

It was seen that the Dian army was transporting weapons and equipment to the river.

Including those 75-mm mountain guns. There is also a 13.2 mm Hatch Chase machine gun. There is also a lot of ammunition.

Frown.

So many weapons, so many ships?

It doesn't seem to have been ...... before.

"Everyone else wants us to leave. A very large number of ships have been mobilized. Farewell to us leaving. ”

"Where are you going?"

"Xuzhou. It is under the command of the Fifth Theater of Operations. ”

"Yuwang Mountain?"

Zhang Chu's mind moved.

It turns out that history is automatically corrected.

The Dian army eventually went to the Fifth War Zone. It is under the command of Chief Li of the Fifth Theater of Operations.

Speechless.

I don't know what to say.

In the end nothing was said.

Drink tea.

Then take your leave.

Come to the riverside.

finally found Min Rujiang, Cao Zhiyong, Wang Hesheng and others.

Sure enough, all the torpedo boats were requisitioned. They are used as transport ships. It was covered with yellow-green military uniforms.

Zhang Chu's face was gloomy. Screamed.

"Min Rujiang!"

"Cao Zhiyong!"

"Wang Hesheng!"

"Out to sea! Get ready for battle! ”
