Chapter 22 History
Chairman Jiang said: "What is the origin of this person?"
Dai Li said: "He is a child of an overseas Chinese in Myanmar! He was sent back to Shanghai by his parents three years ago. When the Eight-National Bank Tax Police Corps openly recruited new recruits, he signed up for the Tax Police Corps. Because others were smart and went to school, he was immediately sent to the West Point Military Academy in the United States by Minister Song to further study. He did not return to China until mid-June this year!"
"This person is actually Wen Yingxing and Wang Geng's alumni?" Chairman Jiang was surprised, "Since that's the case, why didn't he stay in the Tax Police Corps, but went to the Kingsoft Security Team to be the captain?"
Dai Li said a little embarrassedly: "This is said to be related to Minister Song."
"It has something to do with Ziwen?" Chairman Jiang frowned, "What's going on?"
Dai Li lowered his head and said, "Committee, you still have the chance to ask Minister Song himself."
After hearing Dai Li say this, Chairman Jiang understood. He stopped asking more questions and said, "How is this Zhong Yi performing in West Point Military Academy? How is it better than Wen Yingxing and Wang Geng?"
Wen Yingxing and Wang Geng were famous generals in the Beiyang period. They had already demonstrated their abilities in the Beiyang government, especially Wen Yingxing, who is now serving as a senior officer in the Nanjing Command!
Dai Li said: "Besides being handsome, Zhong Yi is said to have mediocre performance in other aspects."
"Perfect performance?" Chairman Jiang said, "So, Zhong Yi is hidden without missing it!"
Dai Li said: "This should be the commanding attainments of this person showing in the Battle of Kingsoft Guard!"
"That's it!" Chairman Jiang pondered for a moment and said, "You can send someone to touch his bottom and focus on checking whether he had secretly contacted the Communist Party during his studies in Shanghai?"
As soon as he heard this, Dai Li knew that Chairman Jiang had a loving talent again.
If Zhong Yi had nothing to do with the Communist Party, he would probably have made great achievements!
However, Dai Li likes to see this happen because He Ajiu is his hardcore confidant to Dai! And Zhong Yi and He Ajiu have become friends of life and death now! If Zhong Yi really becomes a celebrity in front of Chairman Jiang in the future, then Dai may be able to benefit from Zhong Yi’s glory!
"Yes!" Dai Li agreed immediately.
Watching Dai Li's figure go away, a smile slowly popped up on the corner of Chairman Jiang's mouth. A security captain who graduated from the American West Point Military Academy? It's really interesting! If you can really defend Kingsoft Guard and Haihai Defense for two days this time, win time for the 367th Regiment, the 67th Army and even the 700,000 troops on the Songhu battlefield, I will definitely cultivate you!
...
In Kingsoft Guard.
At this time, the Japanese in the middle and both wings were defeated. The only regret is that this time, they were unable to wipe out the Japanese as before, and most of the Japanese were picked up by the navy's landing craft.
The Japanese landing craft was equipped with heavy machine guns, and Zhong Yi did not dare to force him.
At this moment, Zhong Yi and He Ajiu have returned to the Haiyue'an observation post, which is temporarily acting as the command center.
"Yawn, yawn!" Zhong Yi suddenly felt his nose itchy and sneezes two loudly.
"Ayi, are you okay?" He Ajiu asked with concern. In just half a day, his name for Zhong Yi changed again, from his previous brother to his current Ayi.
After knowing Zhong Yi’s background, He Ajiu has decided to be his brother!
"It's okay." Zhong Yi touched his nose and continued, "I just felt that someone was thinking about me behind my back."
"That's definitely the Japanese commander on the opposite side!" He Ajiu joked, "If I were the Japanese commander, I would curse you behind my back. You kid are just a demon god!"
Zhong Yi smiled slightly when he heard this, and then turned his eyes to Wang Zilong: "Capital Commander Wang, are there any statistics on casualties?"
The expression on Wang Zilong's face dimmed, and he nodded and said, "Our 3rd Battalion has killed 89 people and seriously injured 26 people. In addition to the minor wounded, the entire battalion has less than 200 combat personnel!"
More than 300 people were injured or killed, and the casualties were indeed quite large.
After a pause, Wang Zilong said again: "How about the Random Movement Team, the Security Team and the Salt Police?"
He Ajiu sighed and said, "Our Rangers are worse than your battalion. There are only more than 80 remaining brothers who are still able to go to the battlefield, more than half of them are still wounded!"
The Rangers participated in two counterattacks, and the rush was the first to kill, so the casualties were of course huge.
Zhong Yi said: "The security team and the salt police anti-smuggling team are the worst, with only more than 70 people left!"
There are more than 300 people in the security team and the salt police anti-smuggling team, but now there are only more than 70 people left!
Wang Zilong sighed when he heard this. The security team and the salt police suffered even more casualties. As he expected, they were hard-pressed by the six Japanese infantry squadrons on the left and right wings for two full hours!
Zhong Yi asked again: "By the way, how are the casualties of the artillery company?"
Wang Zilong replied: "One platoon was destroyed by the Japanese plane, and only one person was left!"
"Where is the cannon?" Zhong Yi said with concern, "that Bufus mountain cannon was not blown up, right?"
"No," Wang Zilong shook his head and said, "The quality of Swedish goods is still excellent."
"Okay, let's not talk about this." He Ajiu suddenly said, "Have the battlefield been cleaned?"
Wang Zilong said: "For the time being, I have only cleaned the battlefield in the seawall, because there is a threat of Japanese cannons outside the seawall, and cleaning the battlefield during the day is prone to shelling!"
He Ajiu said again: "How many Japanese corpses are counted out?"
"More than a thousand!" said Wang Zilong, "There should be more than a thousand corpses outside the seawall!"
He Ajiu breathed a sigh of relief. This number was not much different from what he reported to Boss Dai.
Zhong Yi asked again: "Where are the weapons, equipment and ammunition of the Japanese captured? How many are there?"
"Not many." Wang Zilong said, "There are five or six hundred pieces of 38 large and 500 pieces, two crooked hands, and the ammunition is not counted."
"That's the point?" He Ajiu frowned when he heard this, and then said, "There should be more weapons outside the seawall, especially the Type 92 heavy machine gun and there are crooked handles. I hope there will be more!"
Wang Zilong also said: "Yes, otherwise this battle will not be easy to fight tomorrow!"
Zhong Yi said: "Whether we can last until tomorrow evening, it is far from enough to rely on the seized weapons and equipment alone, and it depends on whether our next combat preparations are done solidly enough!"
He Ajiu immediately rushed to say, "I will take people to collect straw and dry firewood."
Wang Zilong said: "Leave the battle to our 3rd Battalion to clean up the battlefield."
"Okay." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "Leave the matter of mobilizing the people and the bravery to our security team!"
He Ajiu didn't expect Zhong Yi to agree. He said embarrassedly: "Brother, you can do more work. After this battle is over, I will serve you with wine and celebration!"
"Celebrating the merits? Let's live first!" Zhong Yi turned around and left.
