Tang Sheng slapped his thigh and said fiercely: "Okay! Since Ms. Rosa has this enthusiasm and the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice, how can I, Tang Sheng, admit it as a soldier? Come! Let Miss Reporter go up to the city tower to interview our soldiers, and I will personally issue a pass for her, and all the city gates will be unimpeded! ”

Rosa said with a happy face: "Thank you!" Thank you, Chief Tang, come on Lucian~~ We are looking forward to you taking down a few more enemy planes, but you must also pay attention to your own safety, I will go first. ”

"Sister-in-law, you should also pay attention to your own safety."

Before Zhou Zhen finished speaking, Rosa ran out in a hurry and started her front-line battlefield interview under the leadership of a soldier.

"What a resolute lady, I was really blinded before."

Tang Sheng muttered to himself, while Zhou Zhen hit the railroad while it was hot: "Chief Tang, the request I just said ......"

Tang Sheng sighed and said, "Okay, I will do my best to facilitate talks with the Soviet Volunteers for you, but I can't guarantee whether they are willing to cooperate with you." ”

"It's okay, thank you very much, I'll find a way to convince them myself."

Half an hour later, in the conference room of the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters, a bearded man wearing an earthy green military uniform and a flying cap appeared there, looking at Zhou Zhen across the table.

"You're the young genius pilot who used three planes to trick a Japanese squadron, Lucian?"

The bearded man asked in broken English.

"You are the hero of the Soviet Army who flew the first H16 fighters, Prokofi?"

Zhou Zhen's words were directly in Russian, and the bearded man on the other side of the audience widened his eyes and nodded slowly: "Very good, I didn't expect you to speak our language, so it will be much more convenient for us to communicate, let's say, what do you think?" ”

Zhou Zhen smiled slightly, spread out the map and said: "My idea is very simple, we want to plan a feint attack on Shanghai, my companions have gathered more than 4,000 people, ambushed on the shores of Taihu Lake, they want to use the counterattack on Shanghai to force the Japanese army to withdraw from Nanjing."

Of course, their 4,000-strong men alone are not enough, so I would like to ask Mr. Prokofi and all the Soviet Air Force to cooperate with us in our actions and make a posture of breaking the cauldron and attacking Shanghai. ”

Prokofi's pupils shrank, and then he immediately shook his head and said, "No, no, this is crazy, attacking Shanghai?" Do you know what you're talking about? Even if the Japanese army has dispatched 200,000 troops to besiege Nanjing, Shanghai is still their top priority, and we will be sent to death if we go, and I only have 25 planes that I can use now, and I will not be able to create a full-scale offensive posture in any case, and it is very likely that the Japanese planes will intercept it in the air, so our losses will be great. ”

"Mr. Prokofi, please rest assured, I heard that you still have twenty light bombers moving from the Far East to this side, plus them, as well as our garrison's own air forces, should be able to create a kind of illusion of a general offensive, of course I will not ask you to really participate in the attack, once the Japanese air force takes off to intercept, it will be handed over to me and my team to deal with, but if they think we are just bluffing, I don't mind a round of bombing of the Japanese ground forces when there is a chance, I believe Mr. Prokofi will not mind."

"Over to you? As far as I know, you only have 12 fighters, and although your aircraft are quite good and your flying skills are impressive, it is wishful thinking to confront the Japanese air force head-on with 12 aircraft! Of course, I wouldn't mind sending them a rain of bombs if I had the chance, but only if you can create the illusion that we're about to attack. ”

"Good!"

Zhou Zhen excitedly stood up and walked to the door to pull the door, and Tang Sheng, the commander of the Nanjing garrison, was standing outside.

He and his assistant walked into the room and said, "Little Brother Zhou has already told me the plan, as long as you decide to participate in this operation, I will send all the planes under my command to build momentum for you and make a posture of attacking as a whole!" ”

Zhou Zhen translated Tang Sheng's words to Prokofi in a timely manner, which also reassured the latter in disguise, so that he was no longer so resistant to this seemingly crazy plan.

"In any case, our goal this time is the same, that is, to protect the city of Nanjing, destroy the strategic conspiracy of the invaders, and completely disrupt their rhythm! I'll give you an account here, I only have 16 combat-ready planes at my disposal, but if you add transport planes, civilian planes, and reconnaissance planes, a total of 42 planes can be dispatched, and it is still possible to fill up the façade. ”

Zhou Zhen's expression was correct when he heard this, and he said excitedly: "Forty-two planes can be produced here, plus the forty-five planes on Mr. Prokofi's side is eighty-seven, plus the twelve planes on my side, we have ninety-nine planes to use!" As long as our formation spreads out enough and the momentum is enough, we will definitely make the Japanese army have the determination to exchange one city for another! ”

Prokofi frowned, thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and said, "Damn, it's done!" But as we said in advance, we will only participate in the bombing when we have the opportunity, and if the Japanese fighters take to the air to intercept it, we will only cover your forced landing at most, and we will not put all our forces into it, after all, there will be a lot of battles behind. ”

"No problem! What I just said still counts, once the Japanese fighters take to the air to intercept them, the task of meeting them will be handed over to me and my men, so we will have to set an exact time. ”

The three of them hit it off, and they actually scraped together ninety-nine planes, but Wingate and Tang Dong, who were the initiators of this strategy, finally waited for Wang Xian's main force to come from the north to converge.

"Wang Xian!"

"Tang Dong! This is the brothers Yuan Qing and Yuan Shan? Uncle and nephew of Dabao Mancang, Lao Zhang, you are here! ”

Wang Xian, the veteran of C13, knew all of them, he shook hands with everyone one by one at the moment, pointed to the people behind him and said: "I brought a total of more than 5,000 people this time, and the rest of the two independent regiments are also assembling here, see that the time is coming soon, I have already found someone to pass on your bold plan to them, not to mention, ordinary people really can't come up with such a ghost idea, it is estimated that even the little devil can't imagine that we will have such a big courage, right?" ”

Tang Dong glanced at Wingate and said: "That's not it, don't say it, Mr. Zhou also has his advantages in sending this guy, we people are used to listening to Mr. Zhou's dispatch on weekdays, even if we are separated from such a distance, we still habitually want to wait for Mr. Zhou's instructions before acting, but ignore the ever-changing characteristics on the battlefield."

It is estimated that Mr. Zhou also had this idea when he sent him, this kid's plan is dangerous enough, but it is also poisonous enough, it can be attacked and defended, and the enemy is a feint to help us, and if the enemy is not fooled, then we will really attack with all our strength, even if we can't beat Shanghai, we will scare them a lot, just see if the little devils dare to bet with us. ”

At the same time, Yang Zhanqing and his troops had also arrived in the area north of Zhenjiang.

Pretending to be a deaf-mute, Yukita Murahashi was so anxious that he tried to escape from the team and go back to report the news several times, but he was discovered, but everyone knew that he was a deaf-mute man, and they didn't embarrass him and suspect him.

This time, he accidentally saw a map hanging in Yang Zhanqing's command room, on which several advance routes were drawn, all of which pointed to Shanghai!

Are these partisans crazy? They actually want to abandon Nanjing and return to attack Shanghai, one for one!

At the same time that Murahashi Yuta was anxious, Li Zhaodi, the life-saving benefactor, had also changed into a military uniform, put his hair up and stuffed it into his hat, and followed the troops to assemble in the direction of Nanjing.

Li Zhaodi also patted Murahashi Kota on the shoulder intimately, and said with a gesture: "Hey, dumb, look at my gestures, if you encounter an enemy, you have to hide first, and the most important thing is to save your life." ”

Kota Murahashi looked at this beautiful lady like cherry blossoms, and his thoughts froze a little, but then he shook his head again to recover.

He understood what the other party meant, and babbled and expressed it indiscriminately for a while, he didn't know what he wanted to express, but the other party seemed to guess his thoughts.

"Are you scared and want to get out of here? But the big war is coming, and no one can leave the team...... Forget it, you're not a soldier in the first place, and it's understandable to be afraid, so let's find a chance to escape, run to the west, there are no devils there, but you have to be more careful yourself, no one knows where the devils will hit, and they will not stop until they hit, they are all inhumane, you should have seen it, this group of murderous devils will pay for their actions! ”
