Glorious Mission 1937

()ps: The first update has been uploaded, and the second update is expected to be around [-] pm, so stay tuned! ! !

After only staying at home for two days, Chen Feng had to leave for the south, because there were only four days left before the National Defense Military Conference.

In fact, the vast majority of people in the No.40 Army were unwilling to let Chen Feng go to Wuhan to take risks. After all, everyone knew what kind of person Lao Jiang was.Although the relationship between the national government and the No. 40 Army has eased, no one can guarantee that the national government will not turn its face.

But Chen Fengsizhi decided to attend this military meeting again and again. He didn't go there because he was awarded the Japanese medal on that sunny day. His main purpose of going to Wuhan this time was to do business with Lao Jiang. According to the statistics from the warehouse, now The Japanese-made weapons and equipment seized by the troops can equip 15 complete Japanese mechanic. In addition, there are a large number of miscellaneous weapons such as Chinese official, Hanyang-made and old sleeves. These things still take up space in the warehouse. It's better to take it out and exchange it with Lao Jiang for some oceans.In addition, Chen Feng still has a full 108 field heavy artillery in his hand. Chen Feng doesn't like those things. The 25-ton big guy is not suitable for the No. 40 Army, and he can also do a business with Lao Jiang.

More importantly, Chen Feng knew that from the battle of Songhu to the defense of Nanjing, the nationalist government had lost all their heavy weapons, and now the Japanese were about to attack the southern and northern Anhui areas. The team is bound to suffer a lot of casualties. At this time, making an arms deal with Lao Jiang will not only make Lao Jiang feel grateful to Chen and the entire No. 40 Army, but also greatly strengthen the power of the national government.At least the battle in the next stage will not be as hard as before.

Now that he had decided to go south, Chen Feng stopped moaning and asked Long Jian to bring a battalion of guards to go south with him. He also ordered the special warfare division to send a special warfare squadron of 200 people to open the way ahead. He and the guards The battalion went south to Wuhan by car.

As soon as the convoy arrived in Datong, they received a telegram from the WWII Commander's Department. Yan Laoxi invited Chen Feng to go south with him to Wuhan, and Commander-in-Chief Zhu of the No.18 Group Army accompanied him.

Chen Feng knew that Yan Laoxi did this because he was worried that he didn't plan to go south to Wuhan, and maybe even Lao Jiang instructed him to do this. It seems that the veteran attaches great importance to this national defense conference.

Chen Feng immediately ordered the operator to send a report to the World War II zone, saying that the troops would arrive in Taiyuan tonight.Please rest assured, Chief Yan.

Eight o'clock in the evening on the 22nd.Chen Feng led a police guard and arrived outside Taiyuan City. Yan Xishan, together with a group of senior generals from the World War II area and several senior officers of the No.18 Army, went to the gate of the city to welcome Chen Feng.

A group of people talked and laughed and came to Yan Xishan's mansion from the gate of the city. The dinner was ready, and Chen Feng washed his face a little.Then they went to the banquet accompanied by Long Jian.

This was the first time Chen Feng saw this Marshal Yan.This old man in Jintan was not wearing a military uniform.Dressed in a black cloth long gown, at first glance this old man is an ordinary local rich man on the Shanxi Plateau, and he does not have the aura of a powerful party with great power in his hands.

Today Yan Laoxi is the host.He is also the nominal boss of Chen Feng and Boss Zhu, so the old man took the lead in raising his glass and said: "Today is the first time that all the senior officers in our World War II zone have gathered together. Commander Chen, the hero, is here too, so gratifying to congratulate, my old man represents all colleagues in the World War II zone to offer you a toast." After speaking, the old man raised his head and finished.

Chen Feng and Boss Zhu were also not polite, and they made their own presentations.

Since the war had just ended, neither the Japanese army in the Pingjin area nor the Japanese army on the Xinkou front line were able to take the initiative to launch an offensive, so there was no worry about the war.

In the early morning of the next day, Yan Xishan sent someone to inform Chen Feng to meet up at the Headquarters of the WWII Zone Commander.

As soon as I arrived at the head office of the World War II area, I met Boss Zhu and several senior cadres of the No.18 Army. There were a few people Chen Feng knew very well. The tall and thin man should be the No.18 Army's deputy general staff officer Chang Zuoquan, the square-faced officer wearing glasses should be Liu Bocheng, the commander of the 129th Division. The rest of the Chen Fengs have no influence, and they may be the staff officers of the group army headquarters.

"Morning, Commander Chen, hehehe!"

"Morning, hehehe, I don't know why Chief Yan didn't hurry up and call us here?" Chen Feng said with a smile.

"Go in and have a look and you'll know, maybe something happened again." Boss Zhu said.

Sure enough, after everyone arrived, Yan Laoxi took out a telegram and said: "I just received a telegram from the chairman's attendant's office. constant."

"Why did you change to Kaifeng again?" Yang Aiyuan, commander-in-chief of the Sixth Army in the World War II zone, was the first to speak.

"I don't know about this either. It stands to reason that the main direction of the Japanese army's attack is to go straight to Wuhan along the Yangtze River. Why did the committee think of going to Kaifeng for a meeting?"

Hearing Yan Laoxi mentioning the place name Kaifeng just now, Chen Feng was startled suddenly. Historically, the National Government was indeed held in Kaifeng once, the time should be in January, and a very important thing happened at that meeting Incident, Han Fuqu, chairman of Shandong Province, was arrested and shot dead shortly after.

Originally, this incident should have happened long ago, but there has been no movement now. It seems that he changed the fate of Han Fuqu and others, but just pushed back the time. The most important thing in the meeting was to settle accounts with Han Fuqu.

Thinking of this, Chen Feng frowned and asked, "Did those guys in the attendant room also say that in order to prevent Japanese bombing, the meeting is going to be held at night?"

Yan Xishan looked at Chen Feng in surprise, then nodded, and then asked aloud: "That's what you said, is there anything wrong?".

"There is nothing wrong with it, but this meeting will not be so peaceful, and there may even be a bloodbath. But the blood should not be any one of us here, so you don't need to worry." Chen Feng said.

"Bloody disaster? You mean the chairman wants to kill someone?" Yan Xishan asked with a frown.

"It's very possible, but it shouldn't be us. Although the battle in Shanxi was not very smooth, it was not corrupted to the point of being out of control. In addition, various troops in the World War II zone have repeatedly created great victories, whether it is Tianzhen or Xinghe. The great victory or the initiative to send troops to Saibei, recover Zhangjiakou, and capture Tianjin. In addition, the 18th Division of the No.115 Group Army achieved a great victory at Pingxingguan. Liu Zhi in the First War Zone or Zhang Zhizhong and Luo Zhuoying in the Songhu War Zone, or Han Fuqu in the Fifth War Zone are all far behind. Liu Zhi lost the whole of Hebei, Zhang Zhizhong and Luo Zhuoying lost the whole of Songhu, and Han Fuqu lost the entire Yellow River natural danger , and that Tang Shengzhi even lost the capital city of Nanjing, so even if the sky falls, they still support it, which has nothing to do with us." Chen Feng analyzed.

Yan Xishan thought for a while and said: "Serious (Chen Feng's words) is right. Even if the committee really intends to rectify military discipline, they will not use us as an example. In terms of military exploits, our World War II zone is definitely the first in the country. , the commissioner won’t do anything to us, so we’d better leave early.”

Shanxi is not very far from Kaifeng, and there are no Japanese in Henan, so Yan Xishan only brought a Jingwei battalion to the south.The No. 18 Group also only had the strength of one Jingwei battalion, so this time Yan Xishan, Chen Feng, and Boss Zhu each only brought one battalion of troops.

Although the whips are the same, everyone can see that there is a gap between the three guard battalions of the three parties. They are also the same battalion. Chen Feng's guard battalion has more than 450 people, and Yan Laoxi's guard battalion has more than 220 people. There are more than [-] people in the guard camp, but Boss Zhu's guards only have more than [-] people, which can only be regarded as a reinforced company.

The weapons and equipment of the other three battalions are also different. Chen Feng's Jingwei battalion is mainly equipped with Mauser 98k and Thompson submachine guns. In addition, there are 8 high-speed machine guns installed on the car, and there are even four large-caliber mortars on the car. gun.Yan Xishan's Jingwei Battalion was mainly equipped with Zhongguan, and also equipped with some submachine guns, and a large number of Czech light machine guns, but they did not carry artillery, only a few grenades.

The equipment of Boss Zhu's Jingwei Battalion is far worse. The rifles are mainly Japanese [-]s with large caps, and there are also some medium-sized guns. There are three light machine guns in total, one with a crooked handle and two with a crooked handle. Czech style, no submachine guns, no heavy machine guns, no artillery.

In order to hurry, Yan Laoxi mobilized 40 vehicles from the World War II zone, escorted by two armored vehicles, and headed straight for Kaifeng in a huge convoy of vehicles from the No. [-] Army.

That night, the motorcade was resting in Changzhi. After dinner, Yan Xishan ordered Chen Feng to be invited to his room for a secret talk. As soon as he opened his mouth, Yan Xishan asked, "Solemn, Lao Jiang really intends to make an example of others?"

"There is a good chance that the national government is in decline in the overall situation. Although this is a strategy of exchanging space for time formulated by the Military Commission, many generals are not clear about this, let alone ordinary people. The people of zheng fu can tolerate the loss of the important northern cities of Beiping and Tianjin, and the loss of the financial center Shanghai can also be tolerated, but it is unreasonable to lose the capital Nanjing. In addition, the national zheng fu has been defeated repeatedly, and the Songhu battle failed. The battle of Baoding failed, the defense of Nanjing failed, Rehe was lost, Chahar was lost, Peiping was lost, Hebei was lost, and most of Shandong was lost. The old man must find a scapegoat for surgery. The people of the country make an explanation, and the other is to rectify military discipline and kill chickens and monkeys." Chen Feng explained.
