The 12 bomber planes that were shot down were all the 'Dragon-swallowing' series heavy bomber planes made in Japan.
Of course, the Japanese invaders called them " crashers."
No matter what, the Japanese invaders had been careless this time and suffered heavy losses.
It was foreseeable that as the Sichuan army became stronger, the Japanese invaders would definitely suffer more and more defeats.
12 bomber planes were destroyed, and the Japanese pilots were blown up along with their mounts.
That night, Xue Yue personally led a team to clean up the battlefield.
"Hello, Marshal!"
"Did we suffer any damage?"
"Reporting to the marshal, other than some holes in the ground, not a single soldier on our side was injured or killed!”
"Get the propaganda team to immediately organize materials to inform the entire Shu City and let the people of Shu City share the results of this battle.”
Although the results were insignificant, the people of Shu needed an inspiring victory.
Even Shu was like this, and so were all the cities in China.
Not long after, Xue Yue personally came to meet Liu Zheng.
In the past, Xue Yue had only thought that Liu Zheng was mediocre and incompetent."Liu Zheng is becoming more and more unfathomable."
"Commander, those damn soldiers don't know how precious bullets are. In just a few minutes, they've used up 50,000 rounds of ammunition. Although they shot down 12 Japanese planes, the Japanese invaders will definitely take revenge.”
The entire battle only lasted for five minutes. According to the firing rate of the M2 heavy machine gun and the monitoring of the Cosmic Monarch, each M2 heavy machine gun consumed at most 500 bullets.
In the end, Xue Yue lied about 30,000 bullets.
It was obvious that he was not only taking credit, but also wanted to take the opportunity to ask for more ammunition.
"Within this year, we will be equipped with 200,000 to 300,000 rounds of large-caliber bullets every month. After next year, we will increase it to 500,000 to 1 million rounds. Is Commander Xue satisfied?"
"Haha, that's great. With such a weapon and all the AK47 assault rifles, I can fight a tough battle with the Japanese invaders!”
That night, the army did not sleep. Everyone was so excited that they could not sleep.
The next morning, a military vehicle secretly arrived at the military camp.
"Haha, I was wondering who it was. So it's Big Black Tiger of the Dian Army! Tsk tsk ~ You're a teacher after all, how did you end up in such a sorry state? Brother, let's not talk too much. In the future, you will follow me. I promise that I will not treat you badly…"
Big Black Tiger was the person's nickname because he was called Zhang Chong and was currently the commander of the 184th Division of the Dian Army.
Of course, after Long Deng voluntarily surrendered to Bald Head Jiang, although Zhang Chong was promoted to Vice Commander on the surface, he lost his military authority.
Xue Yue knew that he was playing dumb and took the opportunity to make fun of Zhang Chong. He even secretly mocked Baldy Jiang for being a 'suspicious guy'!
"Commander Xue, on the way here, I heard from the people that you shot down 12 Japanese planes last night. I wonder if I have the honor to visit your military discipline?”
"This is called trouble? Let's go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Yue took the initiative to leave with his arm around Zhang Chong's shoulder.
Zhang Chong was a tiger general, extremely brave. His reputation in the Dian Army was second only to Duan Zhongyi, who was skilled in both martial arts and literature.
"Kill…"
"Kill them!"
"One, two, three, four!"
"One, two, three, four…"
"Peng, peng peng…"
In the huge military camp, the soldiers were divided into dozens of small groups. Some of them practiced bayonet fighting, some were training in formation, and some were shooting with live ammunition on the shooting range.
"Commander Xue, what kind of weapon is this? Forgive me for my poor eyesight, but I don't think I've seen it before…"
"The AK47 assault rifle has an effective range of 350 meters. Its performance is not inferior to the MP40 submachine gun. This gun won't be overheated, won't jam, and can still be used normally when it's covered in mud and sand. Currently, our First Army is equipped with two divisions, and the division of Xie Zhiguo is currently stationed in Changping…"
Hearing Xue Yue's words, Zhang Chong could not help but frown.
It was obvious that Zhang Chong had realized that the teacher was specifically targeting Yunzhou.
"The US made the M2 heavy machine gun? So many? Could it be that they were the ones who shot down the Japanese plane last night?”
"That's right, but it's not made by the Americans. It's produced by our Shu City. Just like the AK47 assault rifle, our Shudu is about to achieve an annual production of more than 1 million new weapons! Zhang Heihu, if you're not stupid, you'll have to promote Longdeng when you get back. They're all Chinese men. If you want to fight, fight the Japanese invaders on the battlefield!”
The soldiers were all equipped and energetic. Their formation was standard and their military discipline was strict. Although Xue Yue's First Army was the only one among the seven armies that had the basic qualities of a regular army, Zhang Chong's heart was in turmoil.
About 20 minutes later, Xue Yue brought Zhang Chong to a command room.
"Pah, hello, Marshal Zhang! I, Zhang Chong, was entrusted by the leader of Long Deng to specially come to visit you regarding the matters related to the construction of the Sichuan-Yunnan highway…"
"General Zhang, please take a seat…"
Zhang Chong did not restrain himself and sat in front of Liu Zheng.
After the guard served tea, Liu Zheng said,"If Uncle Long has the intention to build the Sichuan-Yunnan highway, we will send an engineer to Yunzhou secretly, and then you and my family will build it at the same time…"
"If that's really the case, we'll be eternally grateful. General, I heard that the weapons and equipment that Old Jiang has allocated will arrive at your First Army tomorrow. Is it your First Army?”
"After tomorrow, our Sichuan army and Baldy Jiang will be completely at odds. He can do whatever he wants. If he dares to start a civil war, our Sichuan army will not be easy to deal with.”
Zhang Chong was asking if Liu Zheng would continue to endure hardships for a period of time. If so, the First Army's weapons and equipment must not be exposed. If not, then after tomorrow, Liu Zheng and Old Jiang would be enemies on a narrow road.
With the current strength of the Sichuan army, coupled with the natural barrier of the land of Shu, even if Baldy Jiang gathered a million troops to attack, he would not be able to gain the slightest advantage.
Liu Zheng originally wanted to instigate Baldy Jiang's Pig General, Liu Zhi, to defect. However, after he went to Mountain City the last time, he realized that Liu Zhi was currently suspended and idle at home.
Since he could not persuade them to defect, Liu Zheng naturally did not need to continue hiding.
"General Zhang, I heard that General Duan Zhongyi is skilled in both literature and martial arts. He is currently in charge of the construction of the Yunnan-Myanmar Road. If there is a chance, please convey a few words on his behalf…"
"Marshal, please speak. I will definitely bring it to you.”
"General Zhang, please tell General Duan that after the Yunnan-Myanmar Road is opened, the Sichuan Army will send 200,000 troops to Southeast Asia. Currently, we lack a commander. If he is interested, the door of our Sichuan Army is always open for him. In addition, if General Zhang is willing, General Xie Zhiguo will soon be promoted to the vice commander of the 8th division, so the 09th division is still lacking a commander…"
Liu Zheng's words were meaningful. On one hand, he explained part of his strategic intentions. On the other hand, he offered an olive branch to recruit talented generals. Finally, he did not forget to show the deterrence of the Sichuan army.
For a moment, Zhang Chong was tempted.
Personally, he disliked Baldy Jiang very much. In addition, he had lost his military power. If Liu Zheng could really put him in an important position, he believed that the 09th Division would definitely be able to fight the Japanese invaders on the battlefield.
However, Zhang Chong had come to Shu City as Special Envoy Long Yun, so he could not make a clear statement.
From the information that Zhang Chong had mentioned, Liu Zheng guessed that Long Deng was unwilling to be controlled by Baldy Jiang. As long as he confirmed the true strength of the Sichuan army, he would definitely take action.
