The Republic of Heroes

The transport ship set sail at night. If they were spotted by Japanese planes flying around during the day, they would probably sink to the bottom of the river to feed the fish.All the brethren of the third battalion gathered on the simple pier, but it was quiet without any noise.

The first to board the ship were the captives of the 24th Brigade, including Major General Yamada.Now that Zhang Zhonglin has learned his exact identity, he is not proud of having captured a dignified major general of the Japanese invaders alive.

The river wind at night is no longer as dry and hot as in midsummer, but just as wet and sticky, it seems that even the hairs on the body are sticky and beaten.Zhang Zhonglin was the last to board the transport ship. The deck was crowded with people. He wanted to stand still and take a last look at the small fishing village, but unexpectedly there was a moderate wave on the usually calm river. The handsome major, who seemed to be expressing his feelings, did a big somersault and fell down among his brothers.

The few soldiers who saw it clearly all laughed when they saw this.

"The battalion commander is reluctant to part with the eldest girl of the Li family..."

"Ha ha……"

Immediately, someone followed suit.

In fact, everyone's heart was tense. When defending along the river beach on weekdays, it's not like they haven't seen the frequency of Japanese patrol gunboats patrolling the Yangtze River, almost every hour back and forth.Therefore, in just a few kilometers of water, they may encounter Japanese patrol gunboats at any time.

It is also very lucky to say that the journey was safe and sound, and as soon as we arrived on the shore, the support personnel who had been waiting for a long time in advance came.

"Which one is Battalion Commander Zhang?"

When Zhang Zhonglin saw that he was a major, at the same level as himself, he was secretly surprised, he was just a small battalion commander, and it was too unbelievable to work for a major to pick him up.But what surprised him was still behind. Seeing Zhang Zhonglin squeezed out of the crowd, the major went straight to salute him and said, "I am Xue Yangzheng, the adjutant of the headquarters. The commander has been waiting for Brother Zhang for a long time. Please follow me to the headquarters." !"

This person actually came from the adjutant of the headquarters, and the major beside the garrison commander was far from being comparable to this major, and there was an inexplicable sense of flattery in his heart, or the feeling of knowing that he had met him.Suddenly thinking about how arrogant he was when he first met Wu Xiaoliang, he felt ashamed.

Zhang Zhonglin got into the jeep with the adjutant, and left in the dust under the escort of the cavalry.The bumps and bumps along the way were so shocking that his internal organs were about to be turned out.In the final analysis, although Zhang Zhonglin was arrogant, his reaction was not slow. If Commander Wu treated him so courteously, if he had nothing to reciprocate, wouldn't he be ashamed of it?

Wu Xiaoliang did ask Zhang Zhonglin for an important matter. Originally, it would be a waste of money to put such a general on Chongming Island, but for his safety and future, he had to be transferred away from the current place of right and wrong. He returned to Jian, and there was nothing waiting for him but a court-martial.But now there is a great opportunity to bring him back to the field.

While he was thinking about it, the tall and handsome major had already walked in under the leadership of the deputy director, Xue Yangzheng.

"Lingfu is here, sit down!" Wu Xiaoliang passed the teacup in his hand again, "You are thirsty, drink water." It was like treating old subordinates casually and naturally.

Zhang Zhonglin blushed a lot, and recalled how he behaved when he first met Wu Xiaoliang, and felt ashamed for a while.He didn't dare to just do it, but stood at attention, and said respectfully: "Mr. Wu has a kindness for Zhong Lin to rebuild, but he has a part to pay. Zhong Lin dares not obey his orders, and he will die soon!"

Wu Xiaoliang's heart moved, and he said that Mr. Wu still made a clear distinction between the inside and the outside, if Zhang Zhonglin really wanted to do something, he would change his words at this time.And the nondescript Chief Wu maintained his independence while being respectful, always reminding Zhang Zhonglin that he was still a member of the Model Brigade.It is no wonder that the Model Brigade is the direct line of the Kuomintang Central Army, the elite of the elite.He was able to be so arrogant and arrogant before, didn't he also have such self-restraint?

This idea just flashed in Wu Xiaoliang's mind. The reason why he helped Zhang Zhonglin before was entirely because of his reputation in his previous life.In fact, Zhang Zhonglin is indeed a rare general, if he hadn't met Taizu, his future would be limitless.It's a pity that many famous anti-Japanese generals were destroyed in the civil war.

"Lingfu's words are serious, time is running out, come and see." Wu Xiaoliang pulled Zhang Zhonglin to the front of the map, pointed to the edge of the sea, looked at him and asked, "Can you see some clues?"

Zhang Zhonglin didn't expect Wu Xiaoliang to get straight to the point when he came up, but he felt very happy in his heart. He just kept doing things and didn't make those false stories. You can't be the chief of the First Army, otherwise, wouldn't it be a pleasure to fight with such a chief!He followed Wu Xiaoliang's finger to look at the map of Songhu-Nanjing area, which he studied a lot in his daily life, so he recognized at a glance that it was the location of Wusong Fortress.

At the same time, he was thinking in his mind that he only heard that the Wusong Fortress was guarded by Commander Wu's troops. It was said that the fighting was extremely brutal, but they insisted on guarding for more than a month, and the commotion was not small. The Third Fleet was severely damaged!

Do you want me to take people there for reinforcements?

……

While Wu Xiaoliang was having a headache for the battle situation, Neiji Okamura was very happy.The victory in Zhejiang is brilliant, and the Chinese people are like chickens and dogs. If the troops in the southern provinces have this virtue, then give him a division and he can take another half of southern China.

But when his eyes swept from the southern part of the map back to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River again, he frowned and said with a sneer: "If the Chinese defenders in Nanjing and Shanghai are like that in Zhejiang, I'm afraid that the place where you and I are now is the Nanjing Presidential Palace, Shuichuan Jun."

Kengo Mizukawa, a young member of the general staff, is one of the few officers in the Songhu Garrison who can catch his eye.Okamura Ningji himself is a young man in the army, and this young man who has just passed his age has already served as a post in the General Staff, so he is even more favored.Occasionally, he would secretly sigh that when he was at Kengo Mizukawa's age, he was a major at the very least!

"The Chinese army is probably preparing for the next attack. If we take a step back, they might take the lead."

Kengo Mizukawa's gestures and gestures reveal the elegance of a nobleman. If the surname of Mizukawa hadn't told Gangcun that this person was the son of a fisherman, he would really think that this person was a nobleman who had received strict education since childhood.In contrast, Neiji Okamura, who was born as a fallen samurai, behaved much more vulgarly. When he discussed the situation with Kengo Mizukawa, he would feel an unspeakable feeling in his heart from time to time, as if he was a retainer, and this was originally his subordinate. The big assistant has become a feudal lord.

Gangcun found it funny for a while, and drove the absurdity out of his mind.

"The Chinese army is nothing to worry about. Their head of state will help us a lot. Now as long as this is resolved, the imperial army will have no worries. They will flatten China in one fell swoop and reach the city of Nanjing."

Mizukawa Kengo's pupils suddenly contracted, it was there!
