Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 1486, covering the sky

"arrive."

"You are on guard outside."

"yes."

The cavalry regiment dispersed. Stand ready.

Zhang Yong led more than a hundred people into the 55th Army headquarters in a mighty manner.

When you first arrive, of course you have to be careful.

In fact, the radar map showed that there were only eight people in the headquarters.

Six white dots. Two yellow dots. No weapons.

There are also two radio station logos. There is no operator.

eccentric.

At this time, there is no operator on duty?

In addition, there are actually two yellow dots? There are actually members of the Red Party in the military headquarters of the 55th Army?

I can't help but think of the 67th Army Headquarters, which also has two yellow dots.

All this time, Zhang Yong has been pretending not to know.

This is certainly true now.

Hearing the noise outside, someone came out of the military headquarters.

Saw Zhang Yong. He was slightly startled. He hesitated to speak. Obviously, he knew Zhang Yong. But I didn't expect Zhang Yong to appear here.

"Mr. Commissioner..." After a moment of hesitation, the other party came up to say hello.

"Yeah." Zhang Yong nodded.

Silently observe the other person. The rank of colonel. It seems a bit vicissitudes of life.

There was a very rough scar on his neck, like a knife wound.

Awesome. He was stabbed in the neck and still survived. Definitely the result of hard work on the battlefield.

I remembered Yu Xuezhong’s words. It seems that there are indeed old backbones in the 55th Army.

The scars on their bodies are all from fighting with the Japanese invaders. It's the mark of a hero.

It would be really heartbreaking if the 55th Army was dealt with rashly.

However, this is not the point.

The key is that the other party is still a member of the Red Party.

Apparently, he is currently the highest-ranking officer in the 55th Army?

Yellow dot…

Red Party…

Now in control of the 55th Army...

"Your Excellency, Reporting Commissioner, I have a humble position as Tuoba Leihuo, and I am the deputy chief of staff of the 55th Army."

"Where are the others?"

"Report. The others followed Commander Cao and left."

"How many people left?"

"Report. About 2,900 people."

"How many?"

Zhang Yong raised his eyebrows. Somewhat surprised.

Cao Fulin actually took away three thousand people?

Did this guy take away all his team members?

No wonder Sun Lianzhong would accept it. It turned out that there were nearly three thousand people!

There is no doubt that those taken away by Cao Fulin were definitely his confidants. It has something to do with him.

On the other hand, the rest now has nothing to do with Cao Fulin.

That is, the one who was abandoned by Cao Fulin.

very good. What he left behind was what he needed.

On the way, I was still thinking about how to get rid of Cao Fulin's confidants.

A pot of rat droppings ruins a pot of porridge.

If Cao Fulin's remnants are not cleared away, the 55th Army will definitely still be useless!

Unexpectedly, Cao Fulin took them all away by himself.

good. very good. I picked up a treasure by chance.

Without the influence left by Cao Fulin, he could transform the 55th Army into the main force.

The key is people. Not a weapon.

Of course, there cannot be too much shortage of weapons.

"Your Majesty, Reporting Commissioner, currently, there are still 13,700 people in the 55th Army."

"prepared by?"

"Two brigades, six regiments. There is no division level. We are currently short of one brigade commander and three regiment commanders."

"They all ran away with Cao Fulin?"

"Yes."

"Which brigade is short of a brigade commander?"

"Report. It's the 165th Brigade. The brigade commander and three regiment commanders have all run away."

"Okay. I now officially appoint you as the deputy commander of the 55th Army and the commander of the 165th Brigade. You will appoint the three regiment commanders yourself."

"I?"

Tuoba Leihuo was stunned.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yong actually made such an arrangement.

Directly appoint yourself as the commander of the 165th Brigade? Also granted the power of appointment and removal of three regiment leaders?

He even serves as the deputy commander of the 55th Army?

Isn't this...

"Bring paper and pen."

"yes."

Tuoba Leihuo hurriedly made arrangements.

Soon, Zhang Yong unfolded the letter. Write the letter of appointment directly.

No joke. Black and white.

Although it is not a formal format. However, it has his Zhang Yong signature.

Chiang Kai-shek's handwriting is also irregular! But it is above any orders. Of course Zhang Yong also imitated his example.

As long as Zhang Yong has not fallen out with Chiang Kai-shek, the letter of appointment written by him is absolutely valid. Others admit it.

Otherwise, the other party will be Zhang Yong's enemy.

By the way, of course he was also Chiang Kai-shek’s enemy.

Will the Fifth War Zone admit it?

Of course.

Can't get it.

Mo Dehong became the army commander.

Zhang Yong controls a brigade commander himself.

This is normal operation. It's courtesy and reciprocity. Exchange of benefits.

"Mr. Commissioner..."

Tuoba Leihuo stopped talking.

Zhang Yong waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to say anything.

Want to refuse?

No way. Your superiors will criticize you.

You are given such a good opportunity to control a brigade, why don’t you seize it?

The deputy chief of staff has no power. Just a follower.

Similarly, if the deputy commander wants to have real power, he must also serve as the division commander. But the 55th Army does not have a division-level establishment...

Why is there no division-level establishment?

There are too few people.

Just over 10,000 people.

If the division-level establishment is to be increased, it must be at least 20,000 people.

Letting Tuoba Leihuo occupy the position of deputy commander also ensures that he can also serve as the division commander of a division in the future when the army expands. Have real power.

Soon, the letter of appointment was written. Two servings. The content is not the same.

One is to appoint Tuoba Leihuo as the deputy commander of the 55th Army.

One is to appoint Tuoba Leihuo as the commander of the 165th Brigade.

There is no part-time job with a mandate. All alone. Even if it's handwritten.

"Hey, this is for you."

Zhang Yong pushed the handwritten letter of appointment in front of Tuoba Leihuo.

Tuoba Leihuo hesitated for a moment, and finally took it carefully.

Then, stand at attention and salute.

"The humble position will never let you down the cultivation of the Commissioner."

"sit."

"yes."

"You have a heavy task."

"yes."

"Before Modhong arrives, you need to shoulder all the work of the 55th Army."

"yes."

"You have to do three things. First, organize the establishment. Replenish the lack of officers. Promote all from within. Second, expand the team. Expand as much as you can. Third, prepare for battle."

"this…"

Tuoba Leihuo's face was troubled. He hesitated to speak.

The people around him also looked at each other. There seems to be something unspeakable.

"Speak directly if you have anything to say."

"Commissioner, Commander Cao..."

"Cao Fulin is no longer the commander of the army."

"Yes. When Cao Fulin left, he took away all the money of our army. At present, the food and salary arrears are four months in arrears..."

"All the money was taken away?"

"Yes."

"I see."

Zhang Yong secretly gritted his teeth.

Ma De, this Cao Fulin is dead.

Just take the person away and forget it. He actually took away all the money?

Ah ah ah, haven’t you heard that money is my life? Now I have to pay out of my own pocket to pay the food and salary first?

Don't let me catch you.

Otherwise, the oil will be squeezed out of the bones!

His expression remained motionless.

If nothing happens.

"How much military expenditure do you need? In French currency."

"About three hundred thousand..."

"good."

Zhang Yong immediately arranged for someone to deliver it.

You can't just take it out yourself. So compelling.

"in addition…"

"If you have anything to say, say it all."

"Reporting to the commissioner, when Cao Fulin left, he also took most of the ammunition reserves with him."

"He even took away the ammunition?" "Yes."

"Made!"

Zhang Yong scolded his mother again.

No wonder Sun Lianzhong was willing to take Cao Fulin in.

Dare to love has huge benefits! Not only do you have money, but you also have ammunition!

These days, ammunition is actually money.

If Zhang Yong wants to sell it, he can actually sell it for a big price.

But the system prohibits it. Weapons and ammunition cannot be sold for money. Otherwise, certain abilities will continue to be weakened.

Quiet.

silence.

Please...you...collect 6...9...books...!

"Report!"

A cavalry lieutenant came in to report.

It was said that a team of mules and horses was coming. I'm here to deliver the goods to the Commissioner.

"Deputy Commander Tuoba, please."

"Don't dare, don't dare, Commissioner, please, please."

"Let's go!"

A group of people went to the camp gate to greet them.

At this time, many officers and soldiers had gathered around the camp.

Everyone seemed to be in ragged clothes. Not enough energy either. Many people were still yawning.

Yes, this is the actual situation of the 55th Army.

Don't call it a war, I feel like someone might die even if I run 1,000 meters.

If they continue like this, how can they be expected to kill the Japanese invaders? Not bad enough to be killed.

Ten such national troops may not be able to kill a single Japanese invader.

Those Japanese invaders were really elite!

Especially the Fifth Division, which swept across North China, has extremely high morale.

Three Japanese invaders, back to back, fighting hand-to-hand, might be able to defeat a platoon of 30 Chinese soldiers.

It's over...

I might not be able to make it in time.

In ten days at most, a **** fight will take place.

By then, the Japanese aggressors will be trapped and still fighting, and their combat effectiveness may skyrocket. There is no way to surrender without thunderbolt means.

It's a joke to expect these sick men in front of you to go into battle...

When I was feeling depressed, I suddenly noticed something unusual out of the corner of my eye.

On the other side of the military camp, the national army was performing exercises. Team by team. Very neat. Also very energetic.

Confuse…

Is this Yuanyang hotpot?

Why is polarization so severe? Not from the same army?

"That's over there..."

"Report. That's from the 163rd Brigade."

"how…"

"I focused all my resources on the 163rd Brigade to ensure they could fight."

"I see."

Zhang Yong understood. There are still motivated people in this 55th Army.

If you want to mess it up, just lie down flat. Anyway, the responsibility belongs to Cao Fulin and has nothing to do with them.

But they didn't.

Instead, the remaining resources were concentrated in the 163rd Brigade.

Train normally and operate normally to ensure you can fight.

very good.

As long as you are motivated.

Cao Fulin took the initiative to get out, which just gave the 55th Army a new look.

Perhaps, after paying and replenishing ammunition, the 55th Army can really play a role in the battle to encircle and annihilate the Japanese invaders.

Go to the dock.

The transport ship has arrived.

Some weapons were sent, as well as a large amount of ammunition.

Of course, there are also fiat currencies. Exactly half a million.

It’s better to send the money first.

There's no point in saying anything right now. Giving out money is the way to go.

Have someone bring down the bundles of fiat currency. They are all small denominations, all 1 yuan. There are many bundles.

Open the package. Pour out the legal currency inside directly.

On purpose. Do it for people to see.

"ah…"

"ah…"

Sure enough, there were cheers of surprise.

More useful than any rhetoric.

"Payment is due!"

"Payment is due!"

The officers and soldiers rushed to tell each other.

In an instant, everyone's spirits rose.

Even those guys who looked sickly suddenly became energetic and fierce.

Zhang Yong:…

good. real.

Very nice. Full of pay and invincible!

If all national troops can be paid on time, their combat effectiveness will definitely double.

"Sir Commissioner..." Tuoba Leihuo was grateful.

"Let's take a look at the ammunition again!" Zhang Yong said lightly, "See if it's enough."

"Okay." Tuoba Leihuo then went to check.

Then, the whole person gradually became stunned.

Confused, I looked here and there, thinking I had made a mistake.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Yong asked knowingly.

"Commissioner, could there be a mistake? We don't need so much ammunition..." Tuoba Leihuo was worried.

"unnecessary?"

"Yes, our previous ammunition reserve was 300,000 rounds of ammunition..."

"Three hundred thousand rounds?"

"Yes. Each soldier still has about ten rounds on him."

"Too little."

"Quite a few. They are all equipped like this..."

"We are about to fight a big battle. We need to face a lot of Japanese invaders. Therefore, we need a lot of ammunition."

"But…"

Tuoba Leihuo stopped talking.

I want to say that even if you fight a big battle, you don’t need that much.

There are eight million rounds of ammunition on the ammunition list! There are also many models! There are also thousands of 60mm mortar shells!

God!

When have you ever been so rich?

In his whole life of fighting, he has never seen so much ammunition!

Especially cannonballs!

It's crazy!

The previous mortar shell reserves of the 55th Army were only a few dozen rounds!

And so many grenades!

"Tuoba Thunder Fire!"

"arrive!"

"Now that military expenditures and ammunition have been replenished, the rest is your business."

"yes!"

Tuoba Leihuo stood at attention solemnly.

Suddenly I remembered something. He hesitated to speak.

"explain."

"Your Majesty the Reporting Commissioner, the military expansion you mentioned..."

"It's to replenish troops. It's best to replenish more than 25,000 troops."

"Soldiers do have..."

"Then add more! But they must be able to fight, don't just pretend to be good."

"I can guarantee this."

"Then add more. This is my order. If anything happens, I will help you."

"yes!"

Tuoba Leihuo was relieved.

He does have some people. Rather special.

If he took the initiative to recruit him, he might be in trouble. But the Commissioner...

It's okay.

The Commissioner knows everything.

"I say it again, it must be able to fight."

"Commissioner, I will not let you down."

"That's good."

Zhang Yong did not continue to ask who it was.

Not too lazy to guess. Never mind. As long as they are capable of fighting. He wants it all.

No matter what the past is.

No matter what the future is.

In short, during these eight years, you have made me proud! Make a name for yourself! The Japanese who were beaten screamed!

You are responsible for the fight!

I'm responsible for protecting you from wind and rain!

You cannot cover the sky with one hand. But it is still possible to cover the 55th Army.

Done.

Continue to be a hands-off shopkeeper.

Keep the 55 officers and soldiers who were rescued before.

Tuoba Leihuo likes these people very much. Ready for reuse. Zhang Yong is naturally an adult beauty.

Farewell.

Leave.

Go back to the Third Army Headquarters.

Yu Xuezhong and Sun Tongxuan are both there. Carry out Lao Jiang's orders in an orderly manner.

Zhang Yong also sat down. Drink tea. Then he wandered into the world.

No, to be precise, it is to look at the empty finger map. Pay close attention to the development of the war.

The national army is now the calm before the storm!

Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.

It's calmer now. The more violent it is when it breaks out.
