"I've also heard a lot about Commander Deng and the bravery of the Sichuan army.”
"I'm ashamed, ashamed."
After exchanging some pleasantries, Deng Xihou immediately got down to business and asked,"Commander Ning, under your leadership, we have already reached the doorstep of Shanghai. The situation in Shanghai is very complicated now. Shanghai is now in the hands of the Japanese. Because of the International Settlement, the F Settlement, and the influence of the foreign powers in Shanghai, it is difficult for us to directly attack Shanghai.”
Ning Zhenhua smiled." I know that too, which is why I didn't act rashly. However, it doesn't matter. The Japanese are probably stunned by the state of the war. Now is a good opportunity for us to recover the enemy's territory in Jianghuai and Zhejiang provinces.”
Deng Xihou nodded repeatedly." That's right. I've already contacted the highest-ranking officer of the Fifth Battle Area, Li Zhongren. We'll soon launch a large-scale counterattack. Officer Li said that he will be arriving at Taicang in a few days and will personally visit you to express his gratitude.”
Ning Zhenhua smiled and said," There's no need to thank me. I didn't fight for Li Zhongren or for your National Party. I, Ning Zhenhua, am fighting for the millions of people who have been bullied by the Japanese. I'm fighting for our Yan Huang people. To put it bluntly, should I accept his light gratitude?”
These words were very arrogant and suited his youthful spirit.
However, Deng Xihou didn't think this was arrogance because Ning Zhenhua had the right to be arrogant!
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that the hundreds of thousands of people in Jin Ling City should thank him!
And this time, the 22nd Army fought against the four divisions of the Japanese for three whole days, but they could only maintain a stalemate.
When the Canglong Army arrived, they immediately defeated the Japanese soldiers. They killed the four divisions of the Japanese soldiers like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.
After some calculations, they should have wiped out more than 35,000 enemies this time!
The Battle of Husong lasted for three months. At that time, the Chinese army had invested 800,000 troops, but they had only wiped out 40,000 Japanese soldiers!
However, in just one night, almost all of them had been wiped out!
As long as Ning Zhenhua was willing, Baldy Jiang wouldn't go overboard even if he gave him the rank of general!
Now, it was a bit awkward. The Canglong Army didn't take a single grain of your salary, didn't use a single bullet, and didn't ask for anything even though they had made such great military achievements.
Deng Xihou didn't know how to start.
Ning Zhenhua laughed." Commander Deng, our two armies have fought side by side before. If you have anything to say, just say it!"”
Deng Xihou laughed and said," Commander Ning is a straightforward person. Then I will be thick-skinned and say it. This time, my plan is to split into three groups and attack Changzhou, Suzhou, and Wuxi at the same time." Eating the devils in Jianghuai in one bite! However, we have to seal off the area around Shanghai, so our forces will be scattered. We want to ask the Canglong Army for help. I wonder…"
"No wonder Commander Deng was so hesitant. It turns out that he's after my troops." Ning Zhenhua laughed.”
Deng Xihou and the other generals were embarrassed.
" Commander Ning," Wang Mingzhang said with a smile," we are all soldiers. Your Canglong Army is strong. We need your help. I wonder…"
" War requires money," Ning Zhenhua said with a half-smile." You've seen how much ammunition is consumed in a war. Who will be responsible for the military expenditure?”
Deng Xihou, Wang Mingzhang, and the other generals looked at each other. They had witnessed the fighting style of the Canglong Army, which was called "prodigal". The shells and bullets that the tanks and armored vehicles spat out could definitely sustain them for more than half a month!
When Ning Zhenhua said this, no one dared to respond.
"I was just joking with you guys, and you guys took it seriously!" Ning Zhenhua laughed loudly. China is now in ruins. If I, Ning Zhenhua, wanted to benefit, I wouldn't have risked coming to Jinling to participate in the defense of Jinling.”
The expressions of Deng Xihou and the others relaxed a lot. Deng Xihou smiled and said,"Chief Commander Ning is loyal and passionate, and his love for his country is awe-inspiring.”
"Leave Suzhou, Changzhou, and Wuxi to the Canglong Army. We will pay for the military expenses. However, I have a request."
Ning Zhenhua looked at Wang Mingzhang.
"I wonder what Commander Ning's request is…" Deng Xihou asked cautiously.
Ning Zhenhua smiled." The Canglong Army only sent one battalion this time. There are only a thousand people. It's not enough to launch a provincial-level campaign. So, I need to borrow some troops."”
Ning Zhenhua smiled brightly at Wang Mingzhang."I've taken a fancy to Commander Wang Mingzhang's 122nd division.”
