Glorious Mission 1937

As Chen Feng's orders continued to be issued, the entire Eighth War Zone was completely "chaotic". In addition to the frequent transfer of troops every day, ordinary people also received orders to continuously flock to various cities.The railways and roads are crowded with people, and there are a large number of planes flying by in the sky from time to time, which is extremely lively.

Such a big move in the Eighth War Zone made the Japanese very nervous. Some time ago, the Kwantung Army and the North China Front Army hadn't recovered their vitality. They thought that Chen Feng's troops would launch a new offensive, so General Bin Shanyuan and the newly appointed Kwantung Army General Umezu Yoshijiro, the commander of the army, hastily dispatched troops to prepare for the upcoming attack of the eighth theater.

However, to their dismay, a week has passed. Although the Chinese troops on the front line have been mobilized frequently, they have not crossed the defense zone at all. On the contrary, the gates of the city are closed tightly. .

In desperation, General Binshan Yuan had no choice but to look to Koga Chiyoko, hoping that her intelligence brigade could get useful information.As expected, Koga Chiyoko did not disappoint Bin Shanyuan, and soon deciphered the telegrams between some banner counties in the Eighth War Zone, and learned that the reason why the Eighth War Zone was frequently mobilized was not against the Japanese, but because they carried out power internally. The big adjustment made Bin Shanyuan and Umezu Yoshijiro breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time let Nanjing's Nishio Shouzo breathe a sigh of relief.

The Chinese dispatched army had prepared to attack Wuhan a few months ago, but it was stranded because of the outbreak of the Nomenkan Battle.Now that the battle of Nuomenkan is over, it's time for them to act.He didn't want the eighth war zone to jump out and influence their actions at this time.

1939年8月3日，日军支那派遣军总司令部调集第11军第6师团、第106师团、第33师团、第13师团、第3师团 、第101师团、第40师团、第17师团、第22师团、第16师团 、台湾混成旅团、战车第五旅团、第六旅团、第三飞行集团、第四舰队等部队，共计10个师团1个混成旅团2个支队32万大军，在44艘军舰以及680架飞机的配合下，以第11军司令官冈村宁次中将为最高指挥官，向国民政府行营所在地武汉发动全面进攻。

This was the largest attack launched by the Japanese army after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War. The General Command of the Japanese China Dispatch Army attempted to completely destroy the resistance of the Nationalist government in this form of crushing, captured Wuhan, and broke the surrender of the Nationalist government.

The national government was not to be outdone, because the victory of the first battle in Wuhan bought the national government nearly a year.Therefore, there has been a huge change between Wuhan now and Wuhan one year ago.A year ago Wuhan was the second largest city in China.With a population of more than 200 million, it is an important transportation center in inland China, and also a hub for transporting foreign aid from southern ports to the inland.At that time, the Japanese army occupied Nanjing, and the national government moved westward to Chongqing.However, most of the government agencies and the military command are still in Wuhan.At the same time, Wuhan has also stranded a large number of corporate factories.

But after more than a year of relocation.The Nationalist Government has relocated all Wuhan government agencies and factories and enterprises in Wuhan to the rear area, and requisitioned 50 million young and middle-aged men to build city defenses to strictly prevent Japanese attacks.

Lao Jiang knew very well that the Japanese army would definitely send troops to attack Wuhan.So he continued to deploy troops around Wuhan. When the Japanese army mobilized troops to prepare for the second Wuhan battle, Chiang also dispatched troops to Wuhan to organize the second Wuhan defense battle.

为了打赢这一仗，老蒋可谓是动了血本，集中了18个集团军40个军85个师外加18个旅115万人参战。这次保卫武汉的主帅依然是国防部长陈诚，所有的部队编成4个兵团，第1兵团总司令薛岳，下辖：第20集团军、第9集团军、第29军团、第37军团、第74军。

第2兵团总司令张发奎，下辖：第30集团军、第3集团军、第31集团军、第32集团军、第11军团、第6军、第30军团、第26军团。

第3兵团总司令孙连仲，下辖：第11集团军、第28军团、第2集团军、第30军、第26军、第55军、第87军。

第4兵团总司令李品仙，下辖：第29集团军、第86军、第26集团军、第21集团军、第19军团、第5集团军、第71军、第33集团军、第45军、第24集团军、第27集团军、第17军团。

In addition, Lao Jiang also used a group army in Sichuan and two group armies in Qingma and Ningma, totaling 2 troops, as a reserve force. As long as the frontline battle was tense, these troops would be transferred to Wuhan to participate in the war.

In view of the strength of the Japanese navy and air force, Lao Jiang immediately sent a report to Chen Feng, hoping that the northern air force could go south to fight. As a price, for every fighter lost in the eighth war zone, the national government would compensate two fighters after the war.

Chen Feng will not refuse this kind of thing, compensation or not, Chen Feng doesn't care about it, but it is Chen Feng's duty to assist the national government in guarding Wuhan, this is also a good opportunity for the Northern Air Force to actually fight, and it is also a good opportunity to earn points .However, Chen Feng saw that the patrol boats that sank a Japanese army had 50 points, the torpedo boats had 200 points, as for large ships such as destroyers and frigates, they had 1000 points, and cruisers had 1500 points. As for those heavy cruisers, battleships, and aircraft carriers, Chen Feng I didn't watch it, because these super-large warships can't enter the Yangtze River, so it's useless to watch.

On the afternoon of August 8th, under the leadership of Liu Nijia, 4 fighter regiments, 2 bomber regiments and 2 transport regiment took off from Guisui and Datong airports to Wuhan at the same time. At the same time, there was an airborne regiment heading south. .

When the battle clouds in the Central China area were densely covered with artillery fire, Li Siguang and others who had arrived in the Tyumen area sent a telegram saying that they had found evidence of the existence of many places in the Tyumen area, but whether they were oil-rich areas or whether they could be mined. The value is still being verified, and the Soviet Union has also received news that their geological experts are on their way.

This news lifted his spirits. Although he knew that there must be oil, but after all, there are such things that are not buried tens or hundreds of meters underground like coal. They are buried thousands of meters underground, otherwise the Tyumen Oilfield would not It was impossible to discover it until the 20s and 6s.

I didn't expect Professor Li Da to be so efficient, and there will be good news soon.With the current industrial base of the Soviet Union, as long as the location of the oil field is confirmed, it will definitely be exploited on a large scale. According to the agreement between the two parties, the eighth war zone only needs a small amount of money to get a lot of oil, which is a word!

As soon as there was good news from Li Siguang, another happy event came from the United States. The first motorcycle of Huaxia Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. had already rolled off the production line, and the first batch of 2000 new motorcycles were sold out as soon as they were put on the market. , Even if the price is as high as $1200, it still can't stop the upsurge of American citizens buying cars. You must know that even a Ford sedan is only $500 now.

Because the new motorcycle adopts electronic ignition technology, electric start, disc brake, streamlined car body guard, exhaust gas purification technology, ABS anti-lock braking device, etc., and in the appearance of the motorcycle, Huaxia Company imitated the Japanese Yamaha motorcycles. Therefore, the Longyi motorcycle produced by Huaxia Company is not only beautiful in appearance, superior in performance, and easy to use, but also very fast. It is not inferior to the sedan produced by Ford Motor Company, and has quickly become the new favorite of the American middle class. .

According to Yan Changxi, orders from motorcycle factories have been scheduled until the end of next year. In addition, many motorcycle manufacturers in the United States have offered olive branches to Huaxia, hoping to purchase some of Huaxia's motorcycle design patents.

Chen Feng quickly called back, the patents can be sold, and they can also cooperate with those motorcycle companies, let them do OEM for Huaxia Motorcycle Company, and Huaxia Company will pay them the production cost.

In addition to motorcycles, streptomycin drugs have also been produced. Under the leadership of the US government and several major families, these drugs were quickly shipped to major public hospitals in the United States and sold to patients at the price of imported special drugs. In half a month, Huaxia Pharmaceutical Company had an extra 3 million US dollars on its books. Although the sales performance was not as good as that of penicillin, the difference was not too great.

Now the Soviet government and the German government, French government, and British government, which have tasted the sweetness, have come to negotiate agency matters, hoping to obtain the agency rights of streptomycin drugs in their own countries, and some countries even want to obtain sales agency rights in neighboring small countries.

Chen Feng called Yan Changxi back and said that the agent right in his country can be given, as long as he pays the agency fee.However, other countries should not agree to the agency rights of other countries except the Soviet Union. With the precedent of penicillin, other countries will definitely not only let these big countries be more beautiful than before, and there will definitely be many countries that will come to negotiate business. , The agency fee can also be collected softly, why give up the entire forest for a few big trees.

In addition, Yan Changxi also said that she has sent people to Australia. The Morgan family negotiated with the Australian government and proposed to buy New Guinea and Tasmania. At the same time, the Rockefeller family negotiated with the New Zealand government and proposed to buy the South Island. The request should have news soon.

It should be relatively easy to have the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family come forward. After all, it involves a large land transaction. A blond-haired, blue-eyed American is definitely easier for Australians and New Zealanders to accept than a black-haired and black-eyed Chinese. They were the ancestors of the same country.

It's really good things in pairs. The oil issue here has just been resolved, and two cash cows have been planted in the United States.With huge financial support, it must be no problem to buy the island and buy the aircraft production line. (To be continued..)
