Sword life

Chapter 156 Plan ahead
Chongqing, a certain department.

"Mr. Chen, Zhang Gang has won two battles and wiped out two regiments of the Japanese army in a row. Congratulations!"

Chen Lei didn't even look at the other person's eyes, but he knew the master's intentions. He looked broad-minded, but in reality, his thoughts were unpredictable. victory!"

"Speaking of this, isn't Commander Zhang letting those German Armor soldiers return to the construction now?"

"That's not true. A few days ago, a brigade of German soldiers was returned, led by a man named Luo Yufeng."

"What is the origin of this person, is it reliable?"

"Luo Yufeng graduated from Whampoa's No. 11 class. At that time, his grades were in the top ten, and he was very good. During the Nanjing defense battle, he led a battalion to resist the little devils and an alliance, and tried to keep the position. This time, he also resisted the pressure. , still leading troops out of the Jiaozhou Peninsula.”

"Well, he is a general. Where does he want to go?"

Chen Lei's hairs stood on end. If he didn't answer this question well, it would ruin Luo Yufeng's future: "He didn't say to get it, it's all up to the boss to arrange."

"Okay, Luo Yufeng is promoted to division commander, and the lack of soldiers and equipment will be replenished first. Since you are good at defense, arrange it according to the situation and maximize its ability!"

The order quickly spread to the ninth theater, and Chen Cheng personally summoned Luo Yufeng

"Mr. Luo, congratulations. Since the Republic of China, you are the first person to be directly promoted from battalion commander to division commander."

Luo Yufeng nodded: "Thank you for cultivating me, I will serve the country with blood!"

"Well, speaking of it, we are not outsiders. I was an instructor in Whampoa at the time, and you should have also attended the class."

"Teacher, the students did listen to your lectures at that time, and the lectures were very lively and interesting. I used your method in the Battle of Tiger Cave, and it really hit the Japanese army hard!"

Chen Cheng laughed, and accepted this interesting student: "Next, where are you going to be stationed?"

"It's all up to the teacher to arrange!"

Chen Cheng waved his hand: "If you have any thoughts in your mind, let's hear it!"

"Since the teacher asked about it, the students did not hide it. More than 3000 people in our department fought for several months. We were short of men and horses and needed repairs. I want to be stationed in the Madang Fortress. On the one hand, we can repair the troops and train the soldiers. If we really want to fight, the students will defend themselves. Still have some experience, you can also rely on the fortress to resist the attack of the little devil!"

Chen Cheng nodded, he was a sensible person, and smiled immediately: "Okay, then I will appoint you as the commander of the Madang Fortress, and all the troops around the Madang Fortress will be handed over to you to manage, and I can rest assured."

Luo Yufeng nodded, but the words that Zhang Gang said before leaving could not help appearing in his mind.

"Don't trust those people, they may do outrageous things. I only have one request. Be like guarding against thieves, guard against sneak attacks by little devils. As long as the Madang Fortress does not fall, Wuhan will not be lost!"

Gently pressing this picture into the deepest memory, Luo Yufeng got up and thanked: "Thank you teacher, the student will leave now!"

Ah, Zhang Gang sneezed, rubbed his nose, and continued chatting with Director Wang of the shipyard.

After the two battles in Rizhao, Tengxian County, the Qingdao devils shrunk to the QD urban area and surrendered the surrounding villages and towns.

The Fifth Army in Jinan urgently recruited recruits and restored to a strength of 5000, but its combat effectiveness was weakened to a certain extent, so it dared not enter ZB.

The Tenth Division was even more miserable. Nearly one brigade was wiped out, and its strength was greatly damaged. It had to voluntarily abandon most of the counties in Dagon Prefecture to maintain its strength.

The Jiaozhou base area ushered in a period of rapid development and peace. Zhang Gang had nothing to do, so he handed over the military training to several brigade commanders, and went to the shipyard to see what was new and ask questions.

Factory Manager Wang was very annoyed, and he didn't dare to tell the truth, so he could only explain carefully.

But this time, Zhang Gang was talking about serious business, and Director Wang was in a much better mood.

"When we left, we couldn't take the landing craft with us, so we dismantled the motor and transmission system. I think we can build the hull and add these things. Isn't it a complete landing craft?"

After Zhang Gang finished speaking very confidently, Lao Wang's eyes were a little big: "Old Director Wang, do you have any questions?"

"Commander, it's a big problem. We can't handle the waterproofing alone."

"What else is missing?"

Lao Wang, the factory director, reported a list of equipment names. Zhang Gang basically didn’t have any, so he had to change the way: “Can it be directly hung on the tail of the boat, and it can be driven on the river.”

"It's not difficult, but you don't need an iron hull, either a wooden hull or even a cement hull. Many sand carriers are cement boats."

"Well, then build a wooden boat. It's better to be able to reset itself. It's best if one can carry 30 people."

"Well, it's not difficult, but the wood is hard to find. The wood used to build a ship needs to be dried in the shade for three years. Now that there are fewer shipyards, it's hard to find wood."

After discussing for a long time, three ship types were determined. One is a landing craft with an external engine at the stern, which can accommodate 60 to [-] people, with high horsepower and fast speed!
One is a wooden boat that can carry a dozen people, and has a low center of gravity to resist larger waves.

There is also a single-person wooden circle, which can just float the weight of a grown man.

Finally, there is an empty wooden barrel the size of half a person, which can put a small thing in it.

"Commander, why are you doing this and doing so much?"

Zhang Gang smiled: "I want to change my career to be a ship seller."

Director Wang expressed his complete belief, and turned his head formally so that Zhang Gang would not see his smiling face.

Zhang Gang didn't take it seriously, and went directly to Zhao Gang to discuss the sale of the ship.

"Old Zhang, I think there may be floods in the Henan area. How about we sell some boats and earn some extra money?"
