Chapter 40
"From the night before yesterday to last night, there were frequent clear telegrams sent around Jinling. The power was not high. My people in the Huai River area intercepted these telegrams and translated them. Principal, please take a look."
Dai Yunong said as she took out a stack of telegrams from her briefcase and handed it to the chairman.
The chairman looked at the smile on Dai Yunong's face and was somewhat baffled, but he still took the telegram and read it.
After a while, the chairman suddenly stood up.
"Zhang Wenbin captured Prince Asaka and Major General Yamada. He also rescued 100,000 captured soldiers and seized a regiment flag, forcing the devils to open the gates of Jinling and release the people.”
The chairman was shocked. How could he not know Prince Chao Xiang?
He was the prince of the Japanese royal family, the commander of the army dispatched by Shanghai, and the highest-ranking commander of the Japanese frontline in the defense of Jinling.
Yamada Tsuji, the major general of the Yamada Division, the regiment commander of the 13th division.
As for the United Flag, as the chairman who had studied in Japan, he knew very well what it meant to the Japanese army.
Now that Zhang Wenbin had captured the devil prince, seized the flag of the alliance, and rescued 100,000 captured soldiers, which one of these wasn't a big deal? Which one of them wasn't a real battle achievement?
"Ha, ha, okay! Good! Good! As expected of the elite of our party."
The chairman sat down with a big smile, the gloominess from his previous defeat gone.
"But how are they doing now?”
After the chairman sat down, he knew that the Japanese would not let Zhang Wenbin off. After all, Zhang Wenbin had made them lose so much face. If it were him, he would not let Zhang Wenbin off either.
Although Zhang Wenbin had Prince Asaka and Yamada Tsuji as hostages, it seemed safe. In fact, Zhang Wenbin's Pre-First Group was in danger.
This was because the Lianghuai region, especially the Huainan region, did not have any national troops at all.
Even if there were, they were just some local security regiments. The regular army had already withdrawn and gathered around Xuzhou, Wu Han, and other cities to prepare for the upcoming war.
In other words, Zhang Wenbin's Pre-First Regiment was still a lone army. The 200,000 Japanese soldiers around Jinling would still surround them.
Perhaps they would cross the river from another place to surround Zhang Wenbin's troops.
"Their situation shouldn't be too good. According to the information that the students have received, Zhang Wenbin's Pre-First Regiment's marching speed is very slow after crossing the river. In addition, these 100,000 captives did not have their own supplies.
Zhang Wenbin's own Pre-First Regiment did not have any logistical supplies. It was very likely that they would be surrounded by the Japanese because of the lack of logistical supplies.”
Dai Yunong actually didn't think highly of Zhang Wenbin because his crisis was too great.
There were no supplies, not to mention anything else, not even food. They had more than 100,000 people. Even if they starved, they would starve to death.
There were also the Japanese watching from the side. How could it be so easy to leave?
The chairman silently took a sip of the water before putting it down."I understand. You can leave now! Remember, you must pay close attention to Zhang Wenbin's troops. There must not be any mistakes.”
"Please rest assured, Principal. I will do my best.”
Dai Yunong wasn't a fool. How could he not know the power of the Old Zhang family in politics? Previously, if Zhang Wenbin had died, it would have been fine if he did not pay attention to it. But now, Zhang Wenbin was not dead.
After Dai Yunong left, the chairman immediately made a call to summon an adjutant from the attendant room.
"Draw up a telegram immediately and send a message to Tang Keqin's 20th legion. Send a message to the 20th legion to immediately lead the army south. He also sent a message to the 5th Battle Area, asking them to send a large amount of supplies to the south to replenish Zhang Wenbin's troops. Tell the 5th Battle Area to transfer 100,000 people's supplies. As for the lack of supplies, I will ask the logistics department to allocate them.”
"Yes, sir!"
................
Chahe Town was located in the southeast of Chuzhou. The straight-line distance was about 40 kilometers. Of course, this was a straight-line distance. If you were to march, it would definitely be more than this.
At this time, Zhang Wenbin's troops had already arrived here. They were temporarily resting here and at the same time, they were also figuring out the surrounding situation.
Ever since they crossed the river, the number of Japanese behind them had actually decreased. Previously, Zhang Wenbin remembered very clearly that there were at least two infantry regiments behind him. But now, there was only one infantry regiment.
This was not the main point. The main point was that the sky was empty.
The Japanese plane had not appeared, which made him feel uneasy.
Not only could planes be used for combat, but they could also be used for reconnaissance!
However, he had yet to appear. Was Prince Chao Xiang that worthless? No! It was impossible. From the Japanese's previous behavior, they cared a lot about Prince Chao Xiang.
But now that there were so many abnormalities, it could only mean one thing. The Japanese had a bigger plan.
"Regiment Commander, the scouts are back. There were no traces of the Japanese around us, and for the sake of the local people, there were no Japanese around. In addition, we also sent a telegram to the Telegram Office in Chuzhou City.
The other side replied that there were no traces of the Japanese around Chuzhou City.”
The first battalion commander, Wang Yiqiu, stood behind Zhang Wenbin and said in a deep voice.
"Not even a trace?"
Zhang Wenbin narrowed his eyes slightly. After a while, he slowly said,"Looks like the Japanese have a big plan! There was no trace of him along the way. At the same time, there were no planes in the sky. Humph! This meant that the Japanese definitely had plainclothes guards monitoring us.”
When Zhang Wenbin said this, he snorted coldly and continued,"With just the Japanese infantry regiment behind us, it's impossible for them to monitor more than 100,000 of us.”
"Guild Leader, I also feel that it's very strange. Especially the telegram from Chuzhou. I think there are two possibilities. Either they really didn't see it, or the Japanese have already occupied Chuzhou and sent us the telegram. They want to lure us over."
Wang Yiqiu said uneasily.
"Lure? No! Chuzhou was definitely not occupied by the Japanese, at least not yet. However, we can't let our guard down. Send someone to bring a radio station and quietly enter Chuzhou City to check the situation inside.
"After today, we won't have any food supplies. Also, these 100,000 brothers haven't eaten for a long time. They need to eat too. I'll think of a way here.”
Zhang Wenbin shook his head. He felt a headache coming on. Sometimes, it would be great if he could have multiple systems to provide food! Unfortunately, the system could not provide him with food.
"Report! Telegram!"
Suddenly, a confidential personnel ran over and shouted.
...............
On the fifth day of publishing the book, he suddenly realized that it was almost 100,000 words. It felt really fast!
Seven days was enough.
Alright, today's chapter 7 has been updated!
The little friends who were watching hoped to give some reaction.
No results, no time, the motivation came from flowers, evaluation votes, and comments!
