Chapter 656: News of Death's Scythe!
On July 29th, the 19th year of the Republic of China, the war of the Central Plains Congress was fought for more than three months. The war was tragic and unexpected by everyone.
Jiang was defeated on the front line of Longhai and Jinpu. The previously designed situation was also disilated by the sudden appearance of Sun Liangcheng and the liberation of Sun Dianying, who was trapped in Haozhou.
At this time, the Nanjing National Government also learned the information that Sun Lianzhong's troops went to Wuhan. Because of the fiasco on the battlefield in Anhui, Jiang Zhongzheng originally wanted to remove Ye Kaixin and Wang Jun's commander-in-chief and the position of concurrent military commander and handing them over to the Military Law Department, but he did not expect that there would be sudden changes on the way. In response to the battle of the Central Plains, Jiang All the troops were concentrated on the battlefields of Henan, Anhui, Shandong and Jiangsu, which was very vulnerable to the deployment of Hubei. The Nanjing National Army in Hubei had only more than 100,000 people, and it was deployed in more than a dozen cities such as Xiaogan, Xiangfan, Yueyang, Xianning, Tianmen, Ezhou, Huangshi and Huanggang.
Even in Wuhan, plus the city defense headquarters and the security headquarters, there are only more than 30,000 soldiers who can participate in the battle. In the face of the aggressive Sun Lianzhong Eighth Route Army, there is no chance of winning at all.
In desperation, Jiang Zhongzheng had to readjust his strategic plan. Ye Kaixin continued to serve as the commander of the Eighth Army and merged with Wang Jun to form the Tenth Route Army, and the commander-in-chief was Ye Kaixin.
Subsequently, Jiang added 30,000 soldiers for the Tenth Route Army, and a total of more than 60,000 people also went to Wuhan to deal with the changes in the situation in Hubei.
On the same day, Gu Zhutong, the commander-in-chief of the 16th Route Army, was ordered to rest his troops on the front line in Nanyang, Henan Province. On the second day, he opened Wuhan and formed a fortifications on the front line of Xiaogan to wait for Sun Lianzhong's army to fight back. He ordered the commander-in-chief of the southern front line. At this time, Qian Dajun, who was already defending in Hubei, ordered him to cooperate with Gu. I wish you the same offensive against the invading enemy.
In this way, the front lines of Henan, Shandong and Anhui, which were the most fiercest in the war, turned to the important town of Kyushu, Wuhan, Hubei, when Yan Xishan and Jiang were adjusting their strategic plans at the same time.
Regarding the outcome of the war in Hubei, Du Haisheng is still unpredictable, but now to analyze that because of the tension of the war in Henan, a total of more than 50,000 people under Gu Zhutong's jurisdiction went to Xiaogan, Qian Dajun's defense troops in Wuhan totaled more than 30,000, and Ye Kaixin and Wang Jun's 10th Route Army totaled more than 60,000 people. As a result, the total troops invested by Nanjing in the lake have reached an astonishing more than 200,000.
The total strength of Sun Lianzhong's Eighth Route Army was only 150,000. Due to the tension of the war, in order to prevent accidents, more than 50,000 people were left in Henan, and the total number of troops brought to Hubei was only more than 100,000.
In this way, the comparison of the strength of the two sides is 2:1. A large part of the fire weapons used by Gu Zhutong are submachine guns provided by Du Haisheng, and Feng Yuxiang directly gave him the 100,000 southward army with the arms he recently given to him. If you look at the comparison of the equipment of the two sides, Sun Lianzhong obviously has the upper hand. After all, the arms weapons given by Du Haisheng are the most advanced weapons and equipment developed by five-person ordnance, and there are even anti-aircraft guns, a tank and crops, a mortar brigade, a motorized infantry division, a heavy machine gun independent regiment, and some other heavy firepower. Device.
That is to say, although Jiang has the air advantage of aircraft support and the advantage of relying on the railway for rapid deployment of troops, when he talked to Feng Yuxiang, he talked about the way to deal with aircraft, that is, to carry out comprehensive fire network control with anti-aircraft guns and heavy machine guns. Obviously, on the battlefields in Henan and Anhui, Feng Yuxiang also told his absolute confidant Sun Lianzhong. Therefore, Sun Lianzhong did not seem to be in a hurry when facing Lao Jiang's plane, and Jiang's aircraft formation was greatly damaged.
No matter how the two sides fight, Du Haisheng is still sitting on the Diaoyutai. Although he always pays attention to the changes of the Central Plains Great War, he does not focus all his energy on it.
During this period of time, with the start of Du's Global Steel, a large number of high-quality steel has been produced, and the production capacity of new weapons developed by various R&D departments is no longer a problem, and a large number of more advanced weapons were also developed during this period. Du Haisheng made the second in his first army. Although the replacement equipment of the wheel has not been completely replaced, the combat effectiveness of the First Army has made a qualitative leap.
The replaced weapons and equipment were sold to the Sixth and Fifth Armies of Huang Jinrong and Xue Yue at a low price. The arms and weapons of the two armies are much behind the other four armies.
Du Haisheng naturally does not want to see this situation happen. Once Huang Jinrong and Xue Yue lose their psychological balance, it will also be a big trouble for him.
Ma Yongzhen had informed him before January that the Death Scythe had gone to Shanghai, accompanied by Xing Ziyan and Xing Yusen's father and daughter.
However, until now, I haven't received any news from them. In order to avoid other changes, Du Haisheng specially sent a ship to the high seas in the south to greet him, but there was still no news.
"Why haven't these guys arrived yet?"
Du Haisheng sat on the chair in the house, and his whole body was extremely anxious. There were not only Xing Ziyan and Xing Yusen's father and daughter, but also more than 10,000 death sickle players on the boat. This is a valuable resource for him and his absolute confidant. Absolutely no problem can happen. Once there is a problem. Then all his previous plans will be completely disrupted.
Of course, he also knows that there are more than 10,000 Death Scythe players, even if there are many pirates, they are definitely not their opponents. You know, Ma Yongzhen once said that although Death Scythe has not experienced a real battlefield, he is still familiar with dealing with pirates. Even the armies of other countries will not have any fear.
As long as it does not encounter sea currents and typhoons, or even hit rocks, then the ship will not have other problems.
After thinking for a long time, Du Haisheng had to comfort himself like this.
At this time, Duan Tianhu, Zhang Zihan and Zhang Xun appeared in Du Haisheng's house.
When Du Haisheng saw them, he just stood up to greet them. Before he could say anything, Duan Tianhu couldn't hide his excitement and took a few steps and couldn't help saying happily, " boss, there is news about the death sickle."
Hearing what he said, Du Haisheng was also excited for a while. Half a month of worry disappeared at this moment, and the one who appeared on his eyebrows was a stretch, "Okay, that's great."
He has been waiting for this news for a long time. Now, with the news of the sickle of death, how can Du Haisheng not be excited?
"Cit down, sit down quickly."
Du Haisheng waved to the three people with a smile on his face. After saying that, he said, "When did you get the news?"
Duan Tianhu did not answer, but Zhang Zihan said, "I just got the news. Today, the director of the Quartermaster's Department of the Shanghai Maritime Security Command came to me to discuss the distribution of naval ships and weapons. Some soldiers came to see him. Only then did he hear that the Death Scythe has passed the Philippines and sailed into the territorial waters of the Republic of China. He will come to Shanghai in two days.
"This Hong Lunzheng, why didn't you tell me this directly?"
Du Haisheng seemed very unhappy. On such an important issue, he deliberately explained to the commander of the Maritime Security Command and asked him to inform himself the first time after receiving the news.
But he didn't expect to let Zhang Zihan listen first. What else can he do as a boss?
Zhang Zihan smiled and said sarcastically, "Big boss, what about you saying? The commander of the Maritime Security Command doesn't know your residence and phone number. They can't find you even if they want to find you. Some time ago, that guy also complained to Duan Tianhu and me, saying that at this time, the boss can only go to him, and he I want to find the boss to ask for equipment and military service, but it's even more difficult. Why, I still don't know the boss's specific address? If it hadn't been for today's coincidence, I'm afraid even I wouldn't know that the Death Scythe had entered the territorial waters of the Republic of China.
Hearing Zhang Zihan's answer, Du Haisheng smiled. Thinking about it, his house is extremely confidential. Except for some of his absolute confidants and confidant friends, others, even some friends who have interests with him, and few people know where he really lives.
In addition, the houses on the left and right sides of the current Du family's house have been bought by Du Haisheng. On the left is the place where Long Zhan, who protects him and his family, lives. The ordinary houses on the right are Shadow and other places where the master and servants of the Du family live. As long as you enter the Du family's house about 500 meters, it is strange. People, dragon war and shadow team members will detect it at the first time and monitor it. If they are just ordinary passers-by, they will not casually come forward to stop and cross-examination. However, if they have stayed at the door of the Du family's house for too long, or if they are thieves, the dragon team members will come forward at the first time, not only enter. In the investigation, it is also necessary to take it back to the Shadow Headquarters to determine the real identity to ensure the safety of Du Haisheng and his relatives.
It is precisely because of such safe protective measures that in about a year, Long Zhan and Shadow have jointly captured more than 20 detectives.
This even includes those unwilling Japanese and Republic of China spies.
Du Haisheng's control over the whole situation has reached a point where outsiders can't imagine.
Although this Hong Lunzheng and the commander of the Maritime Security Command are all secretly supported by Du Haisheng and appointed by the Shanghai Municipal Government and Wu Peifu, even so, Du Haisheng is not completely relieved of them. Although the suspects do not need to use people, Du Haisheng has never been able to take responsibility in the issue of self-protection. He is sloppy. After all, the master of Fusang is still vivid in my mind.
Du Haisheng showed an embarrassment and then said, "As you know, except for a very small number of people, the place where I live can't be known to outsiders. Not only the whole Republic of China, but even those ambitious guys in other empires have included me. On the list of absolute enemies, I want to eradicate your boss. Although your intelligence and protection work are very thorough, you are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case of a mistake, everything you have done will be wasted. Therefore, I will not easily take this risk without getting an accurate identity investigation. Naturally, you can't let them know before.
Du Haisheng said, and the two also nodded repeatedly, thinking that what Du Haisheng said was extremely true. After all, Du Haisheng's identity was there, and there were not a thousand or eight hundred people who wanted him to die behind his back.
"Bearby, there is one more thing to report to the boss."
Zhang Xun seemed to think of something, he said.
"Well, tell me."
Du Haisheng is in a good mood now, and he is also quite curious about Zhang Xun's words, so he asked.
Zhang Xun said, "Although the Death Sickle has entered the territory of the Republic of China, the middle generation between Fujian and Taiwan is not peaceful. Therefore, before receiving your order, Tianhu and I went to lie down and return to the police headquarters and asked them to pat the ship to pick it up in case of unprepared measures. Think about it, they should have left Zhejiang now.
Du Haisheng heard this and said happily, "This is a good thing. Naturally, I won't blame you for anything. I did a good job and was thoughtful. It seems that you and Tianhu can continue to rise."
Duan Tianhu and Zhang Xun were praised by Du Haisheng. They both smiled and scratched their heads with embarrassment, thinking that their boss was just a joke with them.
But I don't know that Du Haisheng has already had this plan. Now Duan Tianhu and Zhang Xun can completely control an army, and they can't stay in these two positions all the time.
Now, he feels that the real time has come, and he naturally pays attention to this matter.
However, Duan Tianhu and Zhang Xun did not know Du Haisheng's idea, but Zhang Zihan still had some speculations through the boss's eyes and understanding of him, and there was a little relief and joy in his eyes.
