HCB Chapter 597 This is to support Lin Tianchen
Chapter 597 This is to support Lin Tianchen
Chuncheng, the headquarters of the Northern Expedition base.
"All equipment has been cleared out, and ammunition, food, various types of artillery shells, etc. have been arranged for transportation to the front line."
In the command room in the south of the city, Wei Zhili took out a list in his hand and placed it in front of Song Yi.
These are some supplies confiscated from Chuncheng, including some from the Jin area. Now, after the end of the Chuncheng battle, they are being quickly cleared out and sent to the front line.
Song Yi nodded when he heard this. He never thought that the battle of Chuncheng would end like this.
It seems they are attacking the city, but the decisive battlefield is on Beidingyuan and Shanweipo...
After fighting this battle with Lin Tianchen, Song Yi had a clearer understanding of Lin Tianchen's broad overall view. No wonder he was invincible.
Just a telegram was delivered to Song Yi, making him stand still.
"What's wrong?" Wei Zhili asked curiously.
"The latest news from Jin is that Old Xi Yan is personally leading his troops north." Song Yi still had some disbelief in his tone.
"Old Yan is going north in person?" Wei Zhili's eyes were a little dull.
At this critical juncture, Yan Laoxi went north in person. There was no explanation for this, as he simply did not believe it.
Song Yi was also pondering, but suddenly seemed to think of something.
"Was there a newspaper yesterday? Was it the news from the mountain city?" Song Yi asked hurriedly.
"Yes, I'll find it for you."
Upon hearing this, Wei Zhili nodded and immediately started looking for it quickly nearby.
"At this."
After Wei Zhili found it, he handed it to Song Yi, and he also came over.
Song Yi unfolded the newspaper and saw huge words.
"Dian and Burma are in danger, and the country is in danger..."
Song Yi frowned slightly and understood something in an instant.
"Is Mr. Yan's trip to the northwest related to this?" Wei Zhili looked a little curious.
"There is a conspiracy in the mountain city. Old West Yan is going to support Lin Tianchen..." Song Yi moved his steps slightly and took a deep breath. However, they were on the front line, so the transmission of some information was a little delayed for them.
However, combined with Yan Laoxi, Song Yi knew very well what information Yan Laoxi probably had.
"Support? Could it be that..." Wei Zhili said, seeming to understand, and then reacted:
"Before, when Lin Tianchen was on the Northern Expedition, Yan Laoxi sent ammunition, quilts, and food, and secretly supported the Northern Expedition of the troops, maintaining a delicate relationship with Shancheng. This time, with the open Northern Expedition, Yan Laoxi has completely taken sides."
Wei Zhili's attitude towards Yan Laoxi was complicated, but he did not expect that Yan Laoxi, who had been silent for many years, would be so resolute and decisive at this time.
Moreover, Yan Laoxi's high-profile march north undoubtedly broke off relations with Shancheng.
"Those who are righteous have many supporters, while those who are unrighteous have few. With Yan Laoxi's recent move, I estimate that more people will stand up. I guess in a while, Shancheng will have to consider whether it can mobilize the Tiger Brigade." Song Yi sighed softly and shook his head: "Send the ammunition and other things over as soon as possible, don't delay."
"Yes!" Upon hearing this, Wei Zhili straightened up and immediately walked outside.
Song Yi's gaze couldn't help but fall towards the direction of Jin, and he seemed to be thinking about something.
........
...
Jin land.
Quyang County, north of Yuancheng.
In a courtyard, a figure stared towards the north.
In the courtyard, when the sunlight is scattered, the lighting in the entire courtyard is quite good. On the side, there are many potted flowers and plants to decorate the courtyard.
"You said that Commander Yan specifically asked about my current situation before he left?" Yi Zhihua asked casually, his expression unremarkable.
"Yes." Qian Bojun nodded. Yan Laoxi personally went out to inquire about the training situation of the 33rd Division, which shows how much he values it.
"Inform the entire division that Commander Yan, while heading north, is extremely concerned about all the soldiers of the 33rd Division. Tell them to seize the time to train and build up their combat effectiveness."
Yi Zhihua straightened his body unconsciously. Now the entire division was almost entirely made up of recruits, and they had no combat effectiveness at all. It seemed that the weight of his heroic division was still very high in the eyes of his superiors.
This made Yi Zhihua feel a little relieved, as long as he would not be marginalized.
"Yes..." Qian Bojun nodded in response, paused slightly and spoke again:
"Chief Engineer, Commander Yan's trip north this time isn't just a simple one. I feel like he's backing Lin Tianchen up... Should we try to build a good relationship with him in the future?"
"I am also a man of integrity. I know how to handle the Northern Expedition." Yi Zhihua gritted his teeth and waved his hand when he thought of Lin Tianchen.
Watching Qian Bojun's departure,
"It seems that it's time for the 33rd Division to get a resounding title. Now that the Japanese are weak, we can get some military merits..."
.........
...
South of the colorful clouds, there is Baozhou City.
In a command room in the city, people were coming and going, and the sound of telegrams was constant. Khaki military uniforms became the main color here.
However, a tall and thin figure sitting in one position was always looking at the telegram in his hand, reading it over and over again.
"When did this Yan Laoxi become so strong? Hasn't he always advocated defensive warfare?"
Fang Zhiqiu placed the telegram in his hand on the table and spoke in a gloomy voice.
As a general of Xigui, he knew something about Yan Laoxi, but he had never thought that Yan Laoxi, who had always been dutiful, would take the initiative to send troops north and march towards the three northeastern provinces.
This was beyond his expectations.
"Maybe he's the only one in his family. He's always been good to his own people. If it weren't for the Japanese, Jin would have developed really well..."
General Xu Sanwu put away the telegram and sorted it out, saying calmly that for Yan Laoxi, the entire Jin area also saw hope, so it was reasonable for him to do so.
"Yeah, if there was a Lin Tianchen in Xigui, we would do the same." Fang Zhiqiu shook his head and said with some envy in his heart.
The achievements of the Tiger Guards Brigade were known throughout the country.
He pacified the Jin area and led his troops to the north to fight.
He never lost a battle in Guandong.
Many military textbooks were born, such as the legend of the 600 Tiger Guards Brigade at Zhenhun Pass.
The tactics of exchanging Jincheng for Shengjing were all earth-shaking and tear-jerking battles that turned a doomed situation upside down and reversed yin and yang.
Fang Zhiqiu calmed himself down and spoke again, "If Lin Tianchen were here, the Yunnan-Burma War wouldn't have gotten this bad. Shancheng likes to command remotely, so we might have to organize troops again. There are heavy casualties over there."
Tens of thousands of people went out and suffered repeated defeats. The supplies promised by the foreigners did not arrive, and the casualties of the soldiers kept rising, with most of them dying in the jungle.
This is a bottomless pit, and no one knows when it will be filled.
"Now John is urging us again...ah..."
Xu Sanwu frowned and said that judging from the battle situation alone, they had no advantage.
After hearing these words, Fang Zhiqiu, who was standing by, rubbed his eyebrows, his eyes showing discomfort.
"It would be great if the Tiger Guards were on our side. The Japanese wouldn't be able to act so arrogant. If John Country doesn't provide us with equipment, the Tiger Guards would probably just come to our door with guns..." Fang Zhiqiu's tone revealed a hint of complexity.
They did not have the courage of the Tiger Guards Brigade to stand up to the Russian bear, and some even ended up betraying the Russian bear.
To this day, he still remembers the statement from the Tiger Brigade...
"Don't think too much, just do our job!! I feel like a decisive battle is coming in the three northeastern provinces!!"
