Half of the country was lost...

Want money but no money...

No one wants anyone...

Want weapons but no weapons...

Now, it is just the beginning of hardship. From now on, it will be hard days...

"Report, the commander is here."

"oh?"

Zhang Yong's mind moved.

It's actually Feng Zhi'an here? I really didn't notice.

There is not much movement on the radar map. It does show the arrival of white dots, but not many.

It seems that Commander Feng also likes to drive lightly and obey simple orders.

"Feng Zhi'an..."

Zhang Yong tried hard to recall information about Feng from later generations.

Obviously, there is a major event that Feng cannot escape from.

This major event was the He Jifeng and Zhang Kexia uprising.

Both of them are subordinates of Feng Zhi'an. They were before, are now, and will be in the future.

It can be said that these three people have been working together for more than ten years. They know each other thoroughly. It is impossible for Feng to be completely unaware of the uprising.

He did not stop it, but he also did not participate in it. He facilitated the uprising, but he stayed out of it.

It can only be said that people have limitations. Many times, they cannot see the future clearly. Even if the Huaihai Campaign has begun.

"Commander."

"Commander."

Soon, Feng Zhi'an appeared.

It is true that they came in a light carriage and on horseback. They only brought a dozen guards with them.

They are all from the Northwest Army, and their best skill is probably horseback riding.

Feng Zhi'an dismounted from his horse in the distance and walked quickly towards Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong also came forward enthusiastically.

"Commissioner Zhang."

"Commander Feng."

Feng Zhian took the initiative to extend his hand.

Zhang Yong first stood at attention and saluted, and then shook hands with the other party enthusiastically.

Regardless of his future merits and demerits, the man in front of him is actively fighting against Japan.

After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, many battles of the 29th Army were commanded by Feng Zhi'an. His level may not be good, but his attitude was very resolute.

We fought from Tianjin to the outskirts of Peiping, then from Peiping all the way to the north of the Yellow River, and now we have reached Mengcheng.

The 77th Army under his command can indeed be said to have experienced hundreds of battles.

The performance may be average, but there is no merit or hard work.

"please."

"please."

The two came to the front line.

There's nothing to talk about. Just fighting.

The goal is very clear. It is to regain Mengcheng as soon as possible.

In fact, Mengcheng is just a very ordinary small county town. There is no decent city wall.

However, at that time, such towns were strongholds.

By occupying such a town, you can control a large area around it.

"Commissioner Zhang, I am entrusted by Commander-in-Chief Liao to assist Commissioner..."

"Commander Feng, you said the opposite. I am here to assist you."

"Then we will work together to capture Mengcheng. We will achieve success."

"How many people are there in Mengcheng?"

"No more. They've all been withdrawn."

"That's good."

Zhang Yong nodded.

Since there are no ordinary people, let's cover it with artillery fire.

Those home-made 107 rocket launchers are really not very accurate. They can only cover a large area.

If there are ordinary people in the city, then...

Fortunately not.

"chief of staff."

"arrive."

"Let's talk to the commissioner about the deployment of Japanese troops in detail."

"yes."

The chief of staff came up and introduced Zhang Yong.

The Japanese garrison in Mengcheng was the Sixth Division. The commander of the division, Hisao Tani.

This is already known information. However, it is impossible to know in detail how many troops the Japanese invaders had.

The intelligence capabilities of the national army have always been poor.

In the past, I couldn’t even figure out the information about the Red Party, let alone the Japanese invaders?

Many times, you can only rely on guessing.

If you guess right, you'll get a prize. If you guess wrong, you'll die.

"Comprehensive judgment shows that the Japanese invaders may number more than 30,000 people..."

"How many?"

"Thirty thousand. Or forty thousand."

"Well……"

Zhang Yong was speechless.

Just kidding!

Thirty thousand Japanese invaders!

How is it possible?

It is impossible for the entire Sixth Division to be stationed in a small place like Mengcheng.

Even if the Sixth Division is fully staffed, there can't be 30,000 people!

The Japanese aggressors are not mice. They cannot give birth to a litter at once. Even if the rear can be quickly replenished, it will at most be replenished to the pre-war level.

Even before the war started, the Sixth Division did not have 30,000 people! Let alone 40,000?

The chief of staff simply explained. It was all based on reports from the troops.

In a village, if there is a troop report, there may be 300 Japanese invaders. Then the 300 people will be counted. The final number will be very large.

"map."

"exist."

Zhang Yong asked someone to bring a map.

There are a lot of village signs on the map.

Every village sign has some Japanese invaders stationed there. More or less.

Zhang Yong pointed to a village at the front.

"Zhang Touji, how many Japanese invaders did you report?"

"About a hundred."

"Not that many. Just a dozen."
