Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 1170: Something happened in Peiping

 At night. Chunxi Road.

The night market here is very lively. After early morning, the shops gradually closed.

A small shop selling spicy hotpot put away the items outside the door and prepared to put up the wooden door. Close the door.

As a result, a figure walked quickly from outside and approached the door.

"Sir, we are closed..."

"An acquaintance. Don't you want to entertain me?"

"What's so familiar..."

The sound stopped suddenly.

But it was the boss who saw the visitor's face clearly.

Quiet.

silence.

Zhang Yong walked straight in.

The boss who wanted to open the wooden door looked around.

No abnormalities were found.

However, he knew that trouble was coming.

An acquaintance is indeed an acquaintance. but…

He didn't want to see such an acquaintance. I never imagined that the other party would come directly to my door.

"Prepare a big one for me. I'll give you the money."

Zhang Yong took out a big ocean.

Place it in the upper left corner of the table.

Calm and relaxed.

The boss walked over slowly.

Standing next to Zhang Yong. Try to stabilize your emotions.

"What's wrong with you?"

"have."

"What's up?"

"Wait until I finish eating."

"Don't go too far..."

"You open the door to do business. I come to help you. I also give you money. This is too much."

"But we're closed..."

"I remember that the first of the eight important things to note is to have a harmonious attitude, respect the people and not be arrogant..."

"伱, what do you want to eat?"

"You prepare for me. I believe you."

"good."

"The second rule of the Eighth Congress is that the price of buying and selling must be fair, and public buying and selling must not be overbearing. Don't cheat me."

"I said I was closing, but you still come in. You are the one who is overbearing, okay?"

"That's right! I am domineering. However, I am not from your side, so I don't have to abide by the three major disciplines and eight points of attention!"

"I…"

The boss is angry.

This bastard!

If it weren’t for the last time I was in Wanxian...

He entered the kitchen angrily and was busy. The chopping board made a clanging sound.

It seemed as if Zhang Yong was about to be chopped into pieces.

Zhang Yong was calm and relaxed.

The opponent has no weapons. He's not afraid.

A gentleman deceives others.

In fact, he and the Red Party member in front of him were indeed acquaintances.

I encountered this last time when I was in Wan County. At that time, the opponent should be leading the remnants of the Red Army. Now he is lurking on the spot.

A few minutes later, the boss came out with the cooked Malatang.

a lot of. A dazzling array of items.

It is an ocean after all. The purchasing power is very strong.

"please."

"Sit down too. Let's eat together."

"Don't dare."

"Let's sit and talk."

"What's the matter with you?"

"You are standing so far away from me. Should I use a loudspeaker to announce it?"

"you…"

The boss had no choice but to sit down angrily.

But don't eat.

Full of anger. In fact, I'm not hungry either.

Zhang Yong ate with gusto. So sour and refreshing.

It's just too hot. It's June now. It tastes spicy and delicious. Then sweating profusely.

"What's going on?"

"I am going to transfer the 230th Division to Chongqing and then go to the front line."

"What does it have to do with me?"

"It may not be directly related to you. But it is related to your organization."

"What does it have to do with our organization?"

"Yesterday, I paid all the arrears of wages of the 230th Division. I also reviewed all the 23,000 people in the division."

"What exactly do you want to say?"

"You are organized in the 230th Division, with a total of one hundred and eighty-three members."

“…”

The boss is silent.

It is difficult to tell the enemy from ourselves. He was very confused.

"What's your surname?"

"What?"

"My name is Zhang Yong. How do you call me? My real name or pseudonym is fine."

"Duan Xingdao."

"It turns out to be Boss Duan."

"What's the matter with you? Please tell me."

"Actually, it's nothing. I just hope that you can help with other soldiers' ideological work, boost their morale, and enhance their combat effectiveness. Just like the Northern Expedition Iron Army back then."

"Your request exceeds my authority."

"Of course. I know. You can ask the higher-level organization for instructions. Convey my meaning."

"You are the inspector and have a high position. Wouldn't it be better for you to find our higher organization yourself? I don't have a radio station..."

"I don't know your highest-level organization in Chengdu. I believe you won't tell me either."

"Actually, I don't know either."

"So, I can only find you."

"It's no use looking for me."

"Okay. Just think I'm here to eat spicy hotpot."

“…”

Duan Xingdao was silent.

Zhang Yong burped.

So full.

Mainly because I'm hungry.

Frankly speaking, Boss Duan’s skills are average.

The hand that was originally used to hold a gun is now holding pots and pans, which is wasted. His role should be on the battlefield!

"Make a suggestion."

"What?"

"It's a pity that you don't have a gun. Why not take your team and join the 230th Division."

"dream!"

"Don't you want to turn the 230th Division into your own team in the future?"

"What?"

"The current cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is nothing more than a temporary measure. Once the two parties recover, they will definitely fall out. After driving away the Japanese invaders, it will be the time for a decisive battle between the two parties."

"decisive battle?"

"Okay. I've said everything I want to say. Let's go."

Zhang Yong stood up.

Turn around and leave.

He spent three days to gain an in-depth understanding of the situation of the 230th Division.

The final conclusion. Only the Red Party can save the 230th Division.

No matter how many Huangpu students are mobilized, it will be difficult.

What they lack is not military literacy. But morale. It's spirit.

Perhaps, this is also the current situation of all Sichuan troops.

Frankly speaking, the overall performance of the Sichuan Army in the Anti-Japanese War is difficult to describe in one word.

Although Wang Mingzhang defended Teng County and died heroically for his country. Many others died for their country. However, the battle did not go well.

In addition to the factors of weapons and equipment, people's energy and spirit are indeed lacking.

If everyone has the spirit of the Red Army...

This is what Zhang Yong hopes for the most.

He is responsible for getting the equipment, ammunition, logistics, intelligence, and then the troops are as fierce as the Red Army.

Can it be done?

It’s a beautiful wish!

Anyway, he will work hard. The rest will be left to the Red Party.

The 230th Division is a mixed bag. The military establishment is not included in the Ministry of Military Affairs. It is completely an irregular force belonging to his "inspector" Zhang Yong.

If the Red Party has no intention of fighting for such a unit, then there is nothing they can do.

When we arrived in Chongqing, the weapons and equipment of the 230th Division were probably the best in the Sichuan Army. Just one ship of munitions can change everything.

"Commissioner!"

"Commissioner!"

Luo Feng and Han Li came up.

They were waiting nearby. Zhang Yong acted alone.

"The Attendant's Office, please call back."

"OK."

Zhang Yong returned to the camp.

Call the chamberlain. Find Director Lin.

"Young dragon..."

"Director Lin, please tell me."

"Something happened in Peiping."

"What's up?"

"We don't know the details. We don't have access to the core secrets. The 29th Army didn't tell us."

"Then I'll go there now?"

"The 29th Army has promised to give up Nanyuan Airport. However, the Fourth Air Police Regiment is not fully in place yet. Currently there are only two hundred people..."

"It's okay. I'll go there quietly."

"Quietly?"

"Yes. I took off from Chengdu Fenghuangshan Airport and landed directly in Peiping. No announcement was made to the public. People there would think it was also a plane transporting the Fourth Air Police Regiment."

"But, safety..."

"I still have the skills to save my life."

"Okay. You make up your own mind. The commission will let you act as the situation arises."

"Play it by ear?"

"Yes. We have no control over the situation over there. When you go, how you go, what you do, and how you evacuate are all your own decisions."

"Understood."

"When necessary, you can contact Tang Enbo directly. His troops have secretly stationed in Anyang and Xinxiang. If you evacuate along the Ping-Han Railway, he will help you. If you evacuate along the south entrance, you have to contact Jinsui Commander Fu of the army.”

"knew."

Zhang Yong was thoughtful.

Something happened in Peiping? What happened?

No one outside knows?

The 29th Army blocked the news?

Is it related to the Japanese invaders?

Or is it an internal dispute?

At this moment, Beiping is completely a crater!

The Japanese invaders have already surrounded him, and they can pluck this peach with just one hand. The national army, on the other hand, is completely powerless.

well…

Go ahead and do it in secret!

I passed by myself, what should I do here in Chengdu? Not in a hurry.

It will take time for the 230th Division to adjust its defense.

It takes about half a month to transfer defenses from Deyang to Chongqing.

Then Long Muhan came to take office and rectify the team. It will probably take another half a month.

It’s probably August to straighten out various relationships.

It is impossible for the 230th Division to participate in the battle in North China. Too late.

It was prepared for the Battle of Songhu. According to the battle plan, several main German weapon divisions are the first echelon. The three divisions of the Northeast Army belong to the second echelon. But there is no third echelon.

The combat plan did not estimate that the Japanese invaders would be so difficult to deal with.

Previously, the first draft of the battle plan did not even include a follow-up second echelon. Simply dispatch three divisions.

Now, the battle plan has been modified, and five divisions will be dispatched in the first batch. All are German mechanics. The most elite.

The second batch also has five divisions. Including the 51st Division commanded by Wang Yaowu.

No one feels the need for a third tier.

Zhang Yong didn't say much.

Because it’s useless to say it.

If he told others that the Chinese army dispatched ten divisions but could not defeat the Japanese marines, he would probably become the target of public criticism immediately.

well…

Better anesthetize yourself!

Simple arrangement. Acting alone again. But he secretly went to find Pei Lan and Pei Xue.

The two of them are in Chengdu. Just enough to comfort his fragile soul.

A night of fun.

Get up in the morning.

A man came to see He Guoguang.

"Teacher, I'm going to Peking."

"Now?"

"Yes. Now. Go quietly."

"Something happened in Peiping?"

"The news should be blocked over there."

"careful."

"clear."

"if…"

He Guoguang was about to speak but stopped.

Zhang Yong:? ? ?

Waved his hand. Ask everyone around you to step back.

He Guoguang looked solemn and said in a low voice: "The situation is critical, you can find the people over there."

"Which way?"

"red."

"knew."

Zhang Yong nodded.

Sure enough, the teacher also knew this.

Today's Beiping is full of turmoil and undercurrents that can swallow people up at any time.

Relative to the work ability of the Fruit Party, the Red Party is clearly superior. The Red Party has richer experience in handling crises.

Farewell.

Go to Fenghuangshan Airport.

The DC-3 transport plane still has most of its fuel.

No one is cheering here. There is no gasoline storage at any airport.

Fortunately, the distance from Chengdu to Peiping is about 1,500 kilometers. In fact, the fuel for one trip is enough.

Of course, if you land in Xi'an, refuel, and take off again, you will have more fuel after arriving in Peiping. Can better cope with emergencies.

Get on board.

take off.

Direct flight to Xi'an.

Landed at Xiguan Airport. Fill up the tank.

Have lunch early.

Dinner is over. Take off again.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived near Peking.

So fast.

Just go to three places in one day.

Still in Chengdu in the morning. Then go to Xi'an. Now we are in Peking again.

There is a special plane, so the speed is very fast!

The last time I came to Peking, I sat in a car for dozens of hours. But this time, it only took a few hours.

Unfortunately, the capacity of transport aircraft these days is limited. It can only carry more than twenty soldiers. It is still unrealistic to use it to transport troops on a large scale.

The consumption of fuel is not something the national air force can bear. Fortunately, the system has an oil supply.

Land slowly.

No abnormalities have been found yet.

All around the airport were soldiers from the Fourth Air Police Regiment.

Found several red dots.

Probably a hidden spy. That's normal.

At this moment in Peiping, there are not only 10,000 but also 8,000 Japanese invaders, both overt and covert.

Land.

Stop.

Walk out the cabin door.

A second lieutenant officer came up.

"Sir..."

"Commissioner..."

Full of surprise.

But he recognized Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong nodded.

"Don't tell outsiders that I'm here."

"yes."

"Are Commander Yang and Chief of Staff Song here?"

"exist."

"Invite them both over."

"yes."

The second lieutenant officer hurriedly called for someone.

Soon, Yang Buqing and Song Youming arrived.

"Commissioner!"

"Commissioner!"

Both of them were very surprised.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yong came quietly without notifying him in advance.

"How many troops have come?"

"Two hundred and thirty people."

"Is there anything unusual?"

"Not yet. The other party is quite cooperative."

"Whose troops are on the outside?"

"Officer Training Corps of the 29th Army."

"what for?"

"They are all student soldiers. There are more than 1,500 of them."

"Student soldiers?"

Zhang Yong worked hard to search his memory.

It seems that later sources do mention student soldiers.

They are responsible for defending the Nanyuan position. Originally it was not a key target of the Japanese invaders.

However, a traitor betrayed the strength of the 29th Army, and the Japanese invaders launched an attack specifically targeting this weak area. Most of the student soldiers died in the battle.

Another traitor...

How many traitors are there in Peiping?

Not sure.

But there is no doubt that there are many, many...

"Who is the commander?"

"Deputy Commander Tong Linge."

"Is it him?"

Zhang Yong was thoughtful.

The combat effectiveness of student soldiers is definitely limited.

Just like the Fourth Air Police Regiment, its combat effectiveness is also quite limited.

Because they are not field troops at all.

It was the Japanese 20th Division that attacked Nanyuan. It is a pure field force.

After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident on July 7, the central government briefly held conflicts for more than ten days. The Japanese invaders used the time to increase their troops crazily.

Several main divisions were mobilized in one breath. Planes, tanks, and heavy artillery were also brought in.

But the 29th Army had nothing.

It is difficult to put out a fire near by water far away.

Tang Enbo's regiment, which moved north from the Central Plains, was too late to rescue.

The situation is corrupt.

The outlook is gloomy.

what to do?

Of course, we must not forget our original intention and catch Japanese spies!

Catch one, kill one. Catch two, kill two. As many as you can kill.

By the way, all the seized money will be transported away.

Return to the headquarters.

Pick up the phone. Dial a number.

After a while, someone answered the call.

"I'm looking for poisonous snakes."

"Who are you…"

"Tell him to come to the call."

"yes."

The other party agreed.

Soon after, Chen Gongshu's voice came.

"Hello…"

"It's me. River God."

"you…"

"My codename is River God. From now on, call me River God."

"yes."

"Where are you? I'm going to find you."

"The Venomous Bee and I are both at the Nanchuan Hotel. But the others are not here."

"Okay. Let's talk about it in person. In future phone calls, only code names are allowed."

"Understood."

"good."

Zhang Yong hung up the phone.

He didn't know how deep the water in Beiping was. Must be careful.

Therefore, code names must be used on the phone. To avoid being monitored. Even eavesdropped by the Japanese invaders.

"Report!"

"What's up?"

"Commissioner, a transport team is arriving."

"good."

Zhang Yong then went to receive it.

I found out that aviation gasoline was sent. Five hundred barrels.

Each barrel seems to be 200 liters?

A little less.

The DC-3 transport plane flies from Peking to Jinling, which costs five barrels of gasoline one way!

In one round trip, ten barrels of gasoline are gone.

The fuel consumption is still amazing.

Unless it is delivered every day.

But he didn't know exactly how the system was arranged. There's no point in asking.

After making simple arrangements, Zhang Yong set off alone.

Of course I did some simple makeup. Not wearing Mao suit. It's so eye-catching.

Put on a silk gown. Sticky beard. Wear sunglasses. Take another crutch. Like a gentleman.

"rickshaw!"

"Coming!"

Called a rickshaw.

Sit on it. State the destination. Then close your eyes and relax.

Within a radius of 1,000 meters, many red dots appeared. There are also a lot of weapon symbols. There are also yellow dots.

There are many gold symbols. It’s really a hodgepodge!

Suddenly, a red dot flashed.

Check.

It was discovered that it was Yoshiko Kawashima!

Huh?

It's actually her?

etc!

As if she was acting alone?

Still wearing a gold mark?

good!

good!

What a good start!

Going to get rich!
