Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 1210

"A circling dragon? Camouflage military uniform? It's definitely not Chen Jitang and Li Zongren's troops. So which army is it?" Little Montgomery took out a small notebook and flipped through it while talking to himself.This is a brochure urgently printed by the British intelligence service about the Dragon Corps and the Armored Forces, especially the Armored Forces.It records in detail the numbers, troop marks and commanders of most of the armored units of the Dragon Army.This was temporarily printed by the British army. After flipping through the book for a few minutes, little Montgomery finally figured it out: "The Ninth Armored Grenadier Division has 16500 troops, 172 tanks, and 342 armored vehicles. The former division commander Hu Sanyu , The current teacher is unknown! What kind of mess is this!" After reading this unclear pamphlet, Little Montgomery angrily threw him on the table.

"It seems that we have an opponent, and this army is led by this person!" Little Montgomery seemed to be talking to himself, and then he suddenly raised his head: "Order. Send a search force to the vicinity of Berg Town immediately, I want to know How many divisions, how many people, how many cannons and tanks the other party has. I also need to know the names of their supreme commander and division commander. In short, it must be quick. And give me an order for the third battalion of the Royal Tank Regiment to dispatch immediately. Fortify and set up a guard position on the opposite bank of the A Canal north of Gezhen. In short, I don’t want the enemy to rush over there, absolutely not. At the same time, notify all staff officers and battalion commander-level officers to go here for a meeting immediately.” A series of orders from Montgomery After the mouth came out, the adjutant ran out immediately.

At the same time, on the other side, the person in charge of attacking Calais was also looking at the map in his hand, but unlike little Montgomery, he was surrounded by more than a dozen officers at the rank of general and colonel, and they all stood silently. Beside the commander-in-chief, everyone's eyes were full of awe.

"The enemy obviously wants to use the A Canal and several castles inside and outside the city as cover for a three-dimensional defense. If we rashly invest all our troops in it, we will definitely sink deep, resulting in a passive situation on the scene." After speaking, he raised his head. After looking at it, I focused my attention on the map again: "So I decided to bypass the opponent's front line of defense and attack from the flank. Although this is a bit unbalanced for our front, the advantage is that we can quickly Control the situation. Please note that our task is not to completely capture Calais, but to control the port of Calais, and we will not fight this kind of city-to-city street battle." After speaking, he turned his head to Beside, "Chang Jie, you have been with me for so many years and have always been an artillery officer. Now I will give you an armored division, can you bring him to me?"

Chen Changjie took a big step forward and said, "No problem! I will definitely be able to plant the military flag on the commanding height of Calais!"

"Yeah!" Wei Wei waved her hand, "Go get ready!" Then she continued to pick up the map and look at it.

"Which unit is providing us with air support this time?" After carefully measuring the distance between the airport and Calais, he asked again.

"It's the Second Air Force! According to the order of the Supreme Command, they will provide us with full air support and guarantee our air supremacy in the Calais area." Standing beside him, Huang Jun said loudly to his boss.

"Good!" Without even raising his head, he drew a circle with a red pencil.Then I wrote a few words to a messenger: "Contact the Air Force and tell them that I need him to provide three attack times during the day. I need their fighters to appear above the battlefield regardless of weather conditions. Give them our radio call sign. Let them communicate with me directly!" Speaking of which, he pointed to the map that he had drawn and said to him: "This is the range we want to attack, and several of the key areas have been used by me. Outlined with a red pencil, I marked the type of bomb needed, and told them not to make a mistake!"

"Commander-in-Chief!" Zhang Xuesi, who had been standing next to him, stood up when he was assigning the task. He gave a standard military salute, and then said: "I want to participate in this battle. As an ordinary soldier Participate in the battle as an identity!"

"Huh?" His eyes were full of surprise.When Zhang Xuesi was transferred to the Middle East Military Region for military training, Zhang Zuolin handed over his youngest son to him to treat him well.In fact, knowing the purpose of the other party is to let his son accumulate some political capital. After all, it is very fast to be promoted next to a famous general.Take him as one of his adjutants.Although Zhang Xuesi has a prominent family background, he does not have the arrogance of an aristocrat at all.On the contrary, his personality is very peaceful, the only downside is that he is too quiet.Sometimes when he lost his temper, he would look for punching bags everywhere, and Zhang Xuesi often became the target of scolding.But now this little guy actually proposes to go to the battlefield, which is a shock.After all, on the battlefield, bullets and shells have no eyes.In case something happened to him, wouldn't the father of his army chief of staff tear himself apart?Thinking of this, he immediately shook his head, and said to him coldly: "Zhang Xuesi! You should stop joining in the fun!"

"Why?" Zhang Xuesi felt a little disappointed.

"Nothing!" He reached out and brushed the dust off Zhang Xuesi's clothes, and then said slowly, "You are still young and haven't experienced much actual combat training. The battlefield is not a place for children to play games. If you are so early There will be many problems in sending you to the battlefield. Even your life will have to be sent there. If you have something, how can I explain to Mr. Zhang?" After a pause, he continued: "Don't worry, there are still you in the battle Fight, after this battle is over, I will send you to the military academy for normal officer-level training, and then you will be able to serve as a battalion commander as soon as you come out. You have been with me for such a long time, you You are so smart, I believe you have learned a lot. You will definitely become a good commander by then. You may be younger than me when you become a general!" When he said this, he suddenly laughed.

"No! I don't want to!" Zhang Xuesi jumped up immediately, and his action surprised everyone present.Although most people here know that this young guy is Zhang Zuolin's son, but the one opposite him is the commander-in-chief of the Huben Army, his immediate boss, and a man of his own accord.Unexpectedly, the two men fought at the military preparation meeting, and the main topic of the fight turned out to be going to the front to fight.This cannot fail to surprise everyone.All of a sudden, all eyes were on Zhang Xuesi, they wanted to see what kind of language this young adjutant would use to impress their immediate superiors.

"Commander-in-Chief! I don't need you to take care of me like this. Although I know that this is your kindness to me." Zhang Xuesi said in a low voice: "For me, growing up in a powerful family is not a very good thing Things. I was surrounded by this sense of superiority from the time I was born, I lost my freedom, I was surrounded by my father and family everywhere, and I was restricted by them everywhere. I don’t want this, I don’t want to be in I can live in this state because I have my own thoughts and my own world outside. Commander-in-Chief, didn’t you build a world with your hands without any background?”

Zhang Xuesi went on to say: "As for my ability, please don't worry, Commander-in-Chief. I have already undergone strict military training when I was in the Youth League, and my training results were the best there. So it is a bit of a problem to be a soldier who shoots guns." nothing."

Facing the opponent who threw a big bomb at himself, he had nothing to say.He didn't see any domineering shadow of the so-called "children of high officials" in Zhang Xuesi, but a soldier, an ordinary Chinese soldier.Comparing his previous memories, when he was young, the children of some high-ranking officials slapped their chests loudly outside, full of bullying, but they ran away at critical moments.

"There are really many people in the empire who can put life and death at risk. Is this the so-called national spirit of the empire?" Thinking of this, I feel very admirable.So he sighed slightly: "Since you have made such a decision, I can't say anything. I will call your father in a while and report your situation to him." After a pause, he turned to the other side: "Why? Jian!"

"Here!" He Jian, the commander of the Panzergrenadier Division who had been standing beside him, gave a respectful military salute: "What orders do you have?"

"Zhang Xuesi will leave it to you!" Pushing his adjutant in front of the dazed teacher, he said to him, "Take good care of him, he is my best adjutant. Just don't do it! Remember?" At this point he said to Zhang Xuesi: "You also have to remember that you can't just go to the battlefield if you want to. If something happens to you, I really can't talk to your parents Explain, how about this, each of us takes a step back, and I won't stop you from going to the battlefield. But you'd better not directly participate in the front line in this battle. After all, this is a tough battle, and it's purely technical work. What you learned in the Youth League Some things can’t be used at all. I still suggest that you be the deputy battalion commander in the battalion-level headquarters to coordinate the command of the battle. After you have accumulated a certain amount of combat experience, I will let you take on a more important position.” Said After finishing, he glanced at Zhang Xuesi with concern.
