Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 1178, Exercise VS Exercise

 A night of fun.

The beauty is enchanting.

"Who are you going to kill?"

"Fang Zunhai."

"oh?"

Zhang Yong's mind moved. So I didn’t ask again.

Kill Fang Zunhai? Good luck. Sure enough, she and her goals were consistent.

"I'm leaving."

"good."

"Give me the gun."

"good."

Zhang Yong gave her a Browning M1935. There are also two spare magazines.

After thinking about it, he gave her another Walter PPK pistol. Used for self-defense.

Mei Xiao quietly hung from the hotel window. Of course the rope had been prepared long ago. It can be used by tying the bed legs.

Zhang Yong continued to sleep.

I was tired from all the fuss just now. Fall asleep quickly.

I vaguely felt someone crawling into my arms, and gradually woke up.

Oh, it was Mei Xiao who came back quietly.

She took off her night clothes and got directly into the bed.

"nailed it?"

"nailed it."

"Are you injured?"

"Just rub it."

"Is it serious?"

"Nothing serious."

"That's good."

Zhang Yong hugged her into his arms. Go back to sleep.

Too lazy to look at the time. It’s not daylight yet anyway.

After sleeping for a while, I was ready to move again. So it was messy.

Mei Xiao also seemed a little excited. She fell in love with him lingeringly again.

a long time…

Satisfied.

"boom…"

"boom…"

Suddenly I heard a muffled sound in the distance.

I didn't pay attention at first, but later I realized something was wrong.

What is this sound?

It looks like a shell explosion?

Where did the shell explode?

Could it be that the Japanese invaders came in early?

Gradually wake up.

Sit up. Listen carefully.

Mei Xiao also heard it. But didn't care.

"Cannon fire?"

"Probably."

"Where did the gunfire come from?"

"Maybe it's a drill!"

"exercise?"

Zhang Yong felt something was wrong.

He decided to get up. Go find out.

In Peiping City, the sound of cannons can actually be heard. There's definitely something big going on.

Get dressed.

Simply wash up. Go out. Go downstairs.

Take the team down to the lobby on the first floor of the hotel. I found it quite quiet here.

There were not many guests coming and going. But they were all calm. He seemed completely indifferent to the constant sound of artillery fire. Maybe you're used to it?

Go to the front desk. Borrow a phone. Fight back to the 29th Army headquarters.

Just right. The person who answered the phone was Deputy Chief of Staff Wang Pu. Zhang Yong then asked what happened.

"Commissioner, don't be nervous..."

"Can I not be nervous if someone is having sex? Where can I have sex? What do you want to do?"

"It's the Japanese invaders stationed in Fengtai who are conducting military exercises."

"Japanese invaders? Military exercises?"

"Yes."

"Do they conduct drills regularly?"

"Recently, drills have been very frequent. Everyone is used to it."

"Get used to it?"

Zhang Yong frowned secretly.

Are you taking it lightly now that you're used to it?

While other Japanese invaders are sharpening their knives, you are actually indifferent?

"What troops are the Japanese invaders?"

"Riverside Brigade."

"Shōzo by the river?"

"right."

"Where can we see it?"

"Wan Ping."

"I'm going to Wanping."

"this…"

Wang Pu was about to speak but stopped.

Zhang Yong didn't speak immediately. My mind is thinking about things.

This riverside brigade was the culprit that directly caused the Marco Polo Bridge Incident. They were the ones who lied about missing soldiers. Enter Wanping City to search.

The brigade leader is Kawabe Shozo. The captain of the unit is Mutaguchi Renye. The captain is Ichiki Kiyoshi.

These people all rose to great heights by provoking conflicts.

In the end, Ichiki Kiyoshi died on Guadalcanal and deserved his punishment. But Mutaguchi Renya and Kawabe Shozo did not receive enough punishment.

However, if anything, the incident is the responsibility of the three of them. That's a serious mistake.

In fact, this was the high-level strategy of the Japanese invaders.

The Japanese invaders had long tried to launch a full-scale invasion.

If there is no positive three by the river, there will be a positive four by the river. If a tree is not pure, there will be a urine clear.

No matter who the Japanese invaders are, the pace of aggression will not stop.

Drills are often the prelude to an attack.

Take back your thoughts.

"Arrange a vehicle. I'm going to Wanping."

"You and I will go!"

"good."

Zhang Yong had no objection.

Take the student soldiers back to Nanyuan Airport.

This is where his roots lie. Of course you need to explain it to your family.

What if the butterfly wings were flapping randomly and the Japanese invaders launched an attack just after he arrived at Wanping? Any possibility exists.

At the airport, a DC-3 transport plane is landing. Bringing more than twenty soldiers from the Fourth Air Police Regiment.

Zhang Yong then issued an order not to continue to transport soldiers over by air.

There are already more than a thousand student soldiers here.

What the Fourth Air Police Regiment can do, the student soldiers can do.

What the student soldiers cannot do, the Fourth Air Police Regiment cannot do either.

Avoid wasting aviation gasoline.

"Report!"

"explain."

"Reporting to the commissioner, there is a transportation team arriving outside."

"oh."

Zhang Yong hurried out to greet him.

Sure enough, the system delivered goods again. But not many.

There are only 500 horse four-ring rifles. And fifty boxes of bullets. There are no Czech light machine guns. No mortars.

frown.

Land transportation is indeed very restricted.

Each shipment is quite small.

If it’s shipping…

Huh?

Shipping? Chongqing?

Has the system allocated most of the weapons and ammunition there?

It's possible. After all, besides Peiping, the one who needs weapons and ammunition most right now is the 230th Division. That was the third echelon of the Songhu Battle.

Alas, the system's output is still seriously insufficient. Unable to take into account all aspects.

"Come here!"

"arrive!"

"Please come over, Commander Song."

"yes."

Soon, Song Youming arrived.

Zhang Yong handed over all weapons and ammunition to him for disposal. Equip student soldiers.

A simple rifle is actually of little use on the battlefield. But, it's better than nothing. If it is used to set up an ambush...

Vaguely, Zhang Yong had some vague thoughts.

He did not want to fight head-on with the Japanese invaders. I don’t want to be beaten passively. Want to take the initiative. A small force trying to ambush the Japanese invaders...

Fight positional warfare. Being bombarded by Japanese aircraft, artillery, and tanks would result in death.

But if you take the initiative and set up an ambush, you can avoid the Japanese invaders' heavy weapons advantage.

I have more than a thousand people and ambushed a squadron of your Japanese invaders. I should have a chance to annihilate them all.

Eliminate one squadron at a time…

Killing one squadron at a time…

A little adds up to a lot.

Build a tower with sand.

The system map can help him obtain fighter planes.

However, he has not yet decided how to fight.

After all, IQ is limited...

"Report! Deputy Chief of Staff Wang is here!"

"good."

Zhang Yong then led the team and set off.

Take a car. Go to the train station first. Then take the train to Wanping.

It is more than ten kilometers from the train station to Wanping. This railway is currently the only way to enter Peiping.

Other passages have been blocked by the Japanese invaders. No traffic allowed. Of course, traitors and Japanese invaders can pass.

The train station was chaotic.

There are a lot of red dot spies hidden inside.

Zhang Yong thought that it would take three days to catch them all.

It can be seen that the Japanese invaders were determined to capture the train station. A large number of people have been lurking for a long time. Waiting for the opportunity.

As long as there are instructions from above, so many spies can paralyze the train station.

There are many weapons symbols. There was a lot of explosives in it.

Suddenly a thought came to my mind.

"Chief of Staff Wang."

"Commissioner please."

"I smelled shells."

"What?"

"There are artillery shells hidden near this train station." "What?"

Wang Pu felt incredible.

Train station, are there artillery shells? hide? Where can I see it?

"It should be hidden by the spy."

"Spy?"

"Yes. Come with me!"

"good."

Wang Pu followed Zhang Yong dubiously.

Zhang Yong led them into a nearby alley. Arrive in front of a locked house.

The house is quite big. There is a wall outside. It may have been a warehouse before.

Kick the door open and rush in.

"Look."

"ah…"

Wang Pu was immediately dumbfounded.

I saw wooden boxes piled up inside the house.

There are some symbols and numbers on the wooden box. It is written about 75mm artillery shells.

surprise.

incredible.

"Bang!"

Zhang Yong pried open a wooden box.

That's right, they are full of 75mm mountain artillery shells.

Three rounds per box. There are about three hundred boxes. That is 1,000 rounds of artillery shells.

Is it much?

not much.

Only a thousand rounds of artillery shells, nothing!

If placed on the Soviet-German battlefield, it would not be enough to consume an artillery company for one day.

However, for the 29th Army at this moment, it is a timely rain. Because what they lack most is actually artillery shells.

The 29th Army does not have its own arsenal, and all ammunition needs to be purchased from outside. However, the Japanese invaders had already blockaded Pingjin, making outsourcing impossible.

Yan Laoxi, who is the closest, can produce 75mm artillery shells by himself. However, it is impossible for him to sell it to the 29th Army. Others are even less likely. Therefore, the artillery shells of the 29th Army are missing every time they are fired. There is no need to replenish it after playing. Extremely scarce.

"Look, I was right."

"Spy, how is it possible to be a spy, how is it possible..."

"Nothing is impossible."

"I, I, I want to report to Commander Song immediately..."

"This is all a trivial matter. Arrange for people to keep strict supervision here. Then just transport it away. Let's continue to Wanping."

"All right!"

Wang Pu hurriedly made arrangements.

After a while, he reluctantly left.

Get on the train.

A few minutes later, the train started.

"哐哐…"

"哐哐…"

Drive all the way. Arrive at Wanping smoothly.

There are no accidents on the road for now. But it feels like the sound of gunfire is getting clearer and clearer.

"The Japanese invaders are still practicing?"

"Probably."

"They've got plenty of ammunition."

"yes!"

Wang Pu was filled with emotion.

Of course he knew that the Japanese invaders were powerful.

If there really was a fight, the 29th Army would definitely not be able to defeat them.

Therefore, we must work hard to make peace and constantly give in. In order to find a corner of peace. However, right now, there is no retreat.

No one knows when the Japanese invaders will launch a full-scale attack.

I don’t know what the result will be.

Very confused.

From top to bottom, I was at a loss.

It is no longer possible to live in peace and quiet, so where should we go in the future?

silence.

"哐哐…"

"哐哐…"

Just the roar of the train.

Finally, we arrived at Wanping smoothly. get off.

The local garrison came out to greet them.

"Commissioner, this is the commander of Ji Xingwen stationed in Wanping."

"Captain Ji, thank you for your hard work."

"Your Majesty Commissioner, please."

"Where are the Japanese aggressors practicing?"

"You can see it when you go up to the tower."

"good."

Zhang Yong came up to the tower.

Along the way, the sound of Japanese artillery fire was heard all the time.

Among them, there are also the explosions of large-caliber artillery shells from time to time.

It is judged that it is not a 75mm mountain gun. Nor is it the 92nd Infantry Artillery. It should be a heavy artillery of over 100 mm.

In the Asian battlefield where novices competed with each other at that time, artillery with a diameter of 100 mm or more could be called heavy artillery.

Come up to the tower. Raise the telescope.

Sure enough, looking to the east, groups of fire continued to erupt.

Judging from the intensity of the fire, there should be multiple artillery pieces of different calibers firing cross-fire.

Among them, the most violent fire from the explosion had a radius of almost five meters.

"Is that the Japanese invaders' field heavy artillery regiment?"

"Yes."

"The Japanese invaders have increased their troops again?"

"Yes."

Wang Pu answered mechanically.

The Japanese invaders are constantly increasing their troops. The 29th Army had no reinforcements.

In other words, there are no trustworthy reinforcements.

No one in the 29th Army could trust the reinforcements coming from Jinling.

Wang Jialie is in front. Everyone is afraid of becoming the second Wong Kar-liet.

Zhang Yong's face tightened.

The situation is not good! The contrast in strength is too great.

The Japanese invaders pulled out all their heavy artillery.

There was a violent bombardment that the 29th Army could not bear.

The heavy artillery regiments of the Japanese invaders, if there is no word "independence", are generally equipped with 105 mm heavy cannons.

If it has the word "independent" in front of it, it is equipped with a 150mm howitzer.

The normal establishment is generally 36 artillery pieces. Equipped with a large number of trucks. Very maneuverable. There are also plenty of shells.

A very strange and strange phenomenon occurred during the Japanese invaders in World War II. That is, the army has no shortage of ammunition and fuel. But there is a shortage of ships. Therefore, the besieged island cannot be reinforced.

On the contrary, if fighting on the Asian continent, there is no such danger. Reinforcements are available at any time.

"How long have the Japanese invaders been conducting exercises?"

"It's been since six in the morning. It's been three hours."

"It seems to have been planned for a long time!"

"Yes."

"Captain Ji, if the Japanese invaders attack Wanping in a large scale with the cooperation of heavy artillery, can we stop them?"

"Report Commissioner, we will fight to the last soldier!"

"Then it can't be stopped."

Zhang Yong speaks out. He didn't want to lie to himself.

In other words, to wake up the 29th Army from their illusions. Face the cruel reality bravely. Then look for countermeasures.

Don't place your hope on continuing to make peace and continue to retreat.

There is no way back.

"Commissioner..." Wang Pu hesitated.

"I'm going to see the guards' fortifications." Zhang Yong waved his hand. Walk down the tower.

"Please follow me." Ji Xingwen led the way.

After seeing the fortifications, Zhang Yong basically made a clear judgment.

This riverside brigade has been assisted by 105mm heavy cannon. This is very powerful combat power. Hard to beat.

The situation is indeed critical.

Positional warfare no longer means much.

There will only be casualties in vain.

The current fortifications of Wanping City are completely unable to withstand the bombardment of 105mm heavy cannon.

The fortifications he saw were all made of civil structures. Withstands up to 75mm mountain artillery bombardment. It is unstoppable in the face of heavy artillery of over 100 mm.

Only reinforced concrete can withstand it. But alas, no.

There is a huge disparity in strength.

Very disparity.

Fight positional warfare with the Japanese invaders in such plain areas. Apart from firing the first shot in the all-out war of resistance, it has little meaning.

However, he, Zhang Yong, couldn't be too direct. You cannot completely deny others.

Even if you are right, others will resent you.

You can only figure it out slowly.

"Chief of Staff Wang, Commander Ji, have you ever thought about killing and injuring the enemy's physical strength?"

"What's the meaning?"

"Just don't care about the gains and losses of one city or one place, take the initiative and eliminate the Japanese invaders."

"Take the initiative?"

"Yes. Since the Japanese invaders can attack us, we can also attack them. If the Japanese invaders can go, I can go too. Find the right opportunity to sneak attack on the Japanese invaders' rear. Just like in ancient battles, you can use thirty-six strategies. As long as If you can win, you can use any method. Don't fight the Japanese invaders head-on."

"this…"

"Think about it. That's all I have to say."

Zhang Yong originally wanted to cherish words like gold. Worry about saying too much and making too many mistakes. But when the conversation started, I couldn't hold it back.

This was the strategy of the Eighth Route Army later. Take the initiative. Fight a war of annihilation.

Avoid the Japanese invaders. Specialize in attacking the weak points of the Japanese invaders. See the opportunity and kill it immediately.

silence.

The sound of artillery fire from the Japanese invaders' exercises continued.

"actually…"

Wang Pu was about to speak but stopped.

Zhang Yong pretended not to hear.

Just say it. If you don't say anything, shut up.

"Actually, we are also preparing to conduct a large-scale exercise..."

"oh?"

Zhang Yong's eyes lit up.

exercise?

The 29th Army also needs to exercise?

There's something going on!
