Glorious Mission 1937

Chapter 580: Going South to Chongqing

On July 7, Chen Feng called Stalin, deciding that he would visit the Soviet Union three days later, and asked the Soviet Union to open some airports along the route from Siberia to Moscow.Soon Stalin replied to Chen Feng, agreeing to open 2 military airports along the route, but he was fooled and hoped that Chen Feng would keep the number of escort fighters below 3.

However, there was one more thing that Chen Feng had to solve before Zhou Zhou, otherwise he would not feel at ease even if he went abroad for a visit, and that was the handling of the defense zone of the first war zone.Due to the sudden airborne landing by Chen Feng's troops, it directly led to the failure of Lao Jiang's plan to replace troops with water.More importantly, in the process of going south to Henan to fight this time, Chen Feng's troops not only directly used force to confiscate the weapons and equipment of a regiment of the 40th Army, but also directly annexed this regiment, and only released more than 40 officers afterwards. .

In addition, during the Battle of Zhengzhou, although Chen Feng's troops claimed to have kept the city of Zhengzhou, they annexed the second regiment of the 196th Division from the commander to the soldiers. The commander of the 196th Division went to Jiang Dingwen and cried, telling Chen Feng He asked the theater command to make the decision for him.

This made Lao Jiang extremely angry, especially after the battle, Chen Feng's troops did not immediately withdraw to southern Hebei, but stayed in Zhengzhou, which made Lao Jiang feel more and more hateful.Is this completely grabbing territory? If you have the ability, you can grab it with the Japanese. What kind of heroes are you if you grab it with your own people?

Of course, at this time, Lao Jiang didn't want Chen Feng's troops not to go south to fight, and now most of Henan was already Japanese territory.He naively thought that using water instead of soldiers could stop the Japanese army from going south, which is really a joke.

To be honest, the current Chen Feng has no interest in the territory of Henan at all. His main goal now is to wait for the outbreak of the Pacific War, and then do his best to wipe out the Kwantung Army and win the entire Northeast.For him, Henan is just a tasteless food, and it is a pity to discard it if it is tasteless.

Therefore, this matter must be resolved before visiting the Soviet Union. If this matter is not settled, it may cause some unnecessary troubles. After all, Lao Jiang has never been very serious.but.The resolution of this matter must be discussed with Lao Jiang himself.As for the wine bags and rice bags in the First War Zone, it doesn't matter whether they can make the decision. Thinking of those bastards, Chen Feng is not even interested in meeting them.

Chongqing. Zengjiayan Mansion.

Having just finished a day's meeting, Lao Jiang leaned on the bamboo chair with his eyes closed to rest in a state of depression.He was too tired during this time.Nothing good seems to be happening across the country.

First, the Japanese army attacked Henan.As a result, the 10,000+ army fell apart, and then another lieutenant general defected to the enemy, but Chen Feng's troops suddenly jumped out to grab the territory.Not only did he hand over the weapons of his own troops, he also directly incorporated two of his own regiments.Although it is nothing to say that two miscellaneous groups are nothing, the impact of this matter is extremely bad.

But he has nothing to do with the young man in the north. Although he has placed many people in Saibei, according to Kang Ze's report, their power has only penetrated to the government level, and the army has only bought some insignificant people. Grassroots officers have little influence at all.Whether it is political or military, it is not enough to make Chen Feng feel scruples. More importantly, Chen Feng's troops are developing extremely rapidly. Even he himself does not know how many troops there are in the eighth war zone. It is certain that it will not be. less than a million.

It is indeed a headache for such a huge force to be out of control.Chen Feng was different from Yan Xishan, Feng Yuxiang, Liu Xiang, He Jian, and others. Even the Northeast Army, known as the strongest warlord army, had no more than 30 regular troops at its peak, and could not compete with the Central Army at all.

But Chen Feng was different. This person was capable, ambitious, and courageous. Not to mention his ability, he was able to raise such a huge army in just a few years. Such a person's ability was beyond the reach of ordinary people.Chen Feng is very ambitious. He used various methods to expand his territory to Suiyuan, Chahar, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Hebei, and Rehe provinces in just a few years. Now he has extended his tentacles to Shandong and Henan. After a few years, Chen Feng will not only be the king of the grassland, but also the king of North China and even the king of the North.

What worries Lao Jiang the most is that Chen Feng is extremely courageous, and courage is very important for a hero.Just like Yan Xishan, He Jian and even Zhang Xiaoliu, are they capable?Yes, but these people do not have the courage to climb to the top, so they can only be the overlord of a province, but they cannot be the king of a country, because they lack enough courage.

But Chen Feng can do it. He started as a security regiment, dared to compete with the Japanese regiments, brigades, and even division-level troops with a weak force, and even dared to compete with the two major powers of the Soviet Union and Japan at the same time. Even compared with him, the leader of a country, he is not inferior at all.

The Battle of Henan has been over for more than ten days, but Lao Jiang has been thinking about how to deal with the relationship with Chen Feng's troops. This fight cannot be fought, and it may not be possible. The order is even more useless, Lao Jiang It's because I feel that the relationship between myself and Chen Feng is like a wolf and a hedgehog, which is difficult to handle.

Just when Lao Jiang was thinking wildly, Wang Shihe walked in Xiaobu, came to Lao Jiang and whispered: "Principal!"

Lao Jiang gently opened his eyes and looked at it: "It's Shihe, what's the matter?"

"Principal, I just received a telegram from Chief Chen, please read it!" Wang Shihe said.

"It's a rhetorical telegram. Isn't he inspecting military affairs in Changsha? This time, he is planning to revoke the designation of that unit?" Old Jiang said lightly.

"Principal, it's not the telegram from Chief Chen Cheng, but the telegram from General Chen Feng, the Commander of the Eighth War Zone!" Wang Shihe corrected.

"Chen Feng, his telegram?"

"Yes!" Said Wang Shihe and handed a telegram to Lao Jiang.

After receiving the telegram, Lao Jiang raised his head and read it. After a while, he frowned and said, "What kind of medicine is this Mr. Chen selling in the gourd? What is he doing in Chongqing?"

Wang Shihe lowered his head and said: "Principal, Chen Feng is full of mysteries, he does things so wildly and unconstrainedly, it's hard to make a definite conclusion. This time he proposed to meet you in Chongqing should be related to the Henan matter."

"This Chen Feng is very ambitious. He has been avoiding me all the time. He is probably the general who the party and the state have met with me the least. Every time he holds a meeting, he refuses with various reasons. He didn't participate in any meetings other than that meeting. It should be that the execution of Han Fuqu made him feel the crisis. This time he took the initiative to come to Chongqing. No matter what aspect I can't refuse, Shihe, you go and inform him , just say that I will meet him at the airport in person!" Lao Jiang instructed.

"Yes!"

On July 1941, 7, martial law was imposed near Chongqing Airport.

At about eleven o'clock, under the escort of 12 J-6 fighter planes, Chen Feng's plane landed on the runway of Chongqing Airport.Walking along the window, Chen Feng had already seen Lao Jiang who was not far away, who was like the stars holding the moon. After straightening his clothes, Chen Feng said to Li Jianxu, the captain of the guard, "Go, don't keep our chairman waiting for a long time!"

Under Chen Feng's instructions, more than 30 special forces members slowly got off the plane, and Chen Feng was the last one walking.

It can be seen that Lao Jiang still attaches great importance to him. In addition to Lao Jiang himself, the highest wife Song Meiling, He Yingqin, Dai Li and others came to pick him up. It can be said that more than half of the senior officials of the Nationalist Government came. Even Chen Feng himself felt flattered.

After exchanging pleasantries, Lao Jiang invited Chen Feng into his own car, an American-made Ford.After getting in the car, a dozen or so people started the car and drove towards Lao Jiang's official residence in Zengjiayan.

Walking on the road, Chen Feng saw that the entire mountain city of Chongqing was still relatively prosperous, even the well-developed Guisui could not compare with Chongqing.Thanks to the addition of the American Flying Tigers, the national government's air force has been greatly strengthened, and the Japanese air force did not take much advantage in several air battles. Therefore, the Japanese air force has hardly carried out air strikes on Chongqing during this period. Chongqing's impression of the war is still relatively small.

However, Chen Feng also knew that from this year onwards, the Japanese army would concentrate a large number of air forces to bomb Chongqing indiscriminately for four years, and because of this, it also caused the air-raid shelter tragedy of the three major tragedies of the Republic of China.Fortunately for Chen Feng, the massacre in the air-raid shelter in Chongqing took place on the afternoon of June 1941, 6 in history, but he has not heard any relevant news now, and it should not have happened yet. It seems that because of his appearance, the three major The tragedy probably won't happen.

Thinking of this, Chen Feng was in a good mood, the corners of his mouth involuntarily raised, it could be seen that he was very proud.

"Seriously, what makes you so happy, tell me?" Lao Jiang asked with a smile.

"Commissioner, seeing how prosperous Chongqing is and rarely seeing the wounds of the war, I can't help but feel very good, making the committee laugh!" Chen Feng replied.

"It seems that Yan Yan is quite satisfied with the mountain city of Chongqing. This is because the Japanese have relaxed their bombing of Chongqing in the past two years. If Yan Yan came here a year ago, he would have seen nothing but ruins! "Old Jiang said with a sigh.

"No matter what, at least it looks good now, which also shows that the war of resistance is developing in the direction we hope!" Chen Feng said with a smile.

The two communicated with each other, but the car drove towards Lao Jiang's mansion quickly. After about half an hour, the car finally drove into Lao Jiang's mansion and stopped in the middle of the courtyard. (To be continued..)
