According to the latest military regulations, field troops have been divided into three classes, except that the mountain division and the newly emerged rainforest division are not equipped with mechanized equipment and are not included in the rating.The infantry division became the third-class unit, the second-class unit was the mechanized division, and the tank division was the first-class unit.If you want to upgrade the troop level and change to better equipment, you have to use military merits in exchange for it.What Xu Xiangqian thinks now is to promote his infantry division to the first-class tank division, which is what he wants.

Li Pinxian was stunned for a while and then came to his senses: "Now that Xu Chongzhi has withdrawn his troops, shall we go to the north?"

"Going to the north? What are you doing?" Xu Xiangqian asked.

"According to intelligence, a division of the Cantonese Army is advancing towards Wuzhou City. We are going to defeat them." Li Pinxian added: "The troops over there are weak. It seems that there is only one garrison regiment."

"We don't need to do anything, another special unit has already attacked." Xu Xiangqian said nonchalantly.

The special forces that Xu Xiangqian mentioned were actually the 100th Light Bomber Division of the Air Force transferred to Western Guangdong Province to participate in the war.At this time, more than [-] H-[-] light bombers of the whole division, led by Major General Fu Guodong, flew over the city wall of Wuzhou City and rushed towards the marching revolutionary army.

The Air Force had no way to reduce casualties, so the higher-ups did not ask for more about it. The order that Major General Fu Guodong received was only one sentence: "Repel the invasion of the Cantonese Army."

For this order from the superior, Major General Fu Guodong's understanding is as long as it is not wiped out.So for this attack, the Fifth Division not only dispatched all members but also carried a full load of bombs.Because it was attacking infantry, all bombers carried 25 kg small bombs, and each aircraft carried 28 bombs.How spectacular it is to have so many bombs exploding around, I think the Revolutionary Army will be impressed after experiencing it.

The Revolutionary Army never expected to encounter air strikes. In fact, they did not know how to avoid air strikes, and what was going on.When the fifth division's light bombers were in the air, many revolutionary soldiers on the march still looked up at the freshness, not knowing what these huge iron birds were.

Soon the soldiers of the revolutionary army knew what the iron bird was. Under Fu Guodong's order, bombers lowered their altitude and adopted the method of low-level horizontal bombing, dropping a large number of bombs on the marching team.

Dense explosions followed one after another, like the sound of firecrackers in a festival, and the smoke and dust of the explosion gradually spread into the distance.They finally panicked when a barrage of bombs fell on the ground, blanketing the line of infantry in smoke.The soldiers of the Revolutionary Army didn't know how to deal with this situation. All they could do was run away, following their body's instincts.

These soldiers didn't know that running around in an air raid would kill them faster.When the aerial bomb lands and explodes, basically only the warhead touches the ground, and the bomb body is perpendicular to the ground.When the aerial bomb is detonated and the explosives in it are ignited, the outer skin of the aerial bomb will be broken into deadly fragments under the impact of energy.Once hit by these fragments, the human body will definitely be pierced through, even if it is a non-lethal place, it will be severely injured.Therefore, the correct approach in an air raid is to find a higher shelter and lie down, so as to minimize the injured area.

It's a pity that the revolutionary army has never received formal air defense training, and all they can rely on is instinct, and at this time instinct just misled them.While the soldiers of the Revolutionary Army were running around, the power of the aerial bombs was maximized, and a large number of soldiers fell to the ground after being pierced by shrapnel. Many of them would spend hours in extreme pain until the end of their lives.

Chapter 979 Special Envoy Shao Lizi

The bomber unit only dropped a round of bombs, and a regular division of the Revolutionary Army completely lost its organizational structure, and the number of people alive was not even one-fifth of the total number.Seeing that the bombing effect was very satisfactory, Fu Guodong canceled the traditional low-altitude strafing of the West Air Force and directly ordered all to return.

The surviving officers and soldiers of the revolutionary army crawled out from their hiding places when the sound of rumbling aircraft motors disappeared completely.The division commander immediately reorganized the team, and he found sadly that not to mention continuing to attack Wuzhou City, even taking all the wounded back was a luxury.In desperation, the revolutionary army could only take all the lightly wounded and evacuate here, and return to the territory of eastern Guangdong Province, while the more than 300 seriously wounded could only stay there, leaving them to their fate.

The scouts of the West Army kept their eyes on the battlefield. When they found that the revolutionary army had withdrawn, they immediately reported the situation to the headquarters.The garrison regiment stationed in Wuzhou City immediately dispatched all of them, transported more than 300 seriously wounded people back on stretchers, and asked the field hospital and the newly established county hospital to treat these people.

Most of the soldiers of the Revolutionary Army embarked on the road of revolution because of their miserable families.They believed in the dream portrayed by the Congress Party, the situation where everyone has a field to farm and every family has surplus food after the democratic republic is truly realized.However, while they were recovering from their injuries, these soldiers were surprised to find that this kind of life had already been realized in Western Guangdong Province. Not only did they have surplus food at home, but they could also buy two sets of new clothes every year. radio.

In addition to being surprised, these soldiers learned from the merchants that Western Guangdong Province joined the Western Special Economic Zone for too short a time, and the standard of living was far worse than that of the provinces that joined the Western Special Zone earlier.For example, radios, which can only be purchased by wealthy families, have long been popular in other places in the special zone.

The homes of ordinary people in the special zone still have novel products such as electric lights, bicycles, sewing machines, electric fans, and electric kettles. The wealthy families even have refrigerators, air conditioners, cassette recorders, and televisions. Private car too.

What kind of life was that?In the imagination of these soldiers, even the emperor living in Beihua City is nothing more than that. Is there a better life than this?It is precisely because of this inadvertent understanding that when more than 300 wounded soldiers were sent out of the country after recovering from their injuries, a quarter of them applied to stay. Dreams of better days.

Zhao Shouhong approved all of these people's ardent requests. As for those who went back, there were not many revolutionaries who really pursued their ideals.Even those who went back also played a huge role in propaganda. They spread what they saw and heard to all parts of Eastern Guangdong Province, which made most people shake the ideals described by Sun Wenhai, and also created some problems for the Northern Expeditionary Army's conscription. trouble.

He still doesn't know how much trouble he will face in the future. When Sun Wenhai got the list of losses, his face was already livid.The most powerful first army of the Cantonese Army, the ace unit equipped with all the Honglian standard equipment and trained by the Honglian instructors, was driven back as easily as if they were chasing ducks.

What made Sun Wenhai even more angry was that although Xu Chongzhi lost less than 30 people along the way, all heavy equipment was discarded, including more than 600 precious artillery pieces and as many as [-] machine guns.The other journey was even more miserable. Only more than [-] people were able to return, and half of them were injured.

After this battle, all inside the Revolutionary Army were in awe, and only then did they know how strong the West Army's combat power was.People have made great achievements in fighting foreigners outside, but it doesn't mean that foreigners can't help fighting like noodles. It can only be said that the combat power of the West Special Army has undergone earth-shaking changes, and they are no longer on the same level as the domestic warlords.

The loss of military power is not the most terrible thing, but what is terrible is the ensuing retaliation in the Western Special Zone. Every time Xu Chongzhi thinks of the negotiating officer's words, don't say that you don't say anything beforehand, your body is like chaff.Sun Wenhai also had the same worries. In order to avoid Zhao Shouhong's merciless revenge, he had no choice but to ask Shao Lizi to go to the capital of Shu to see Zhao Shouhong as a special envoy.

For Shao Lizi's arrival, Zhao Shouhong welcomed him very much, and he specially let him live in the General Consulate's Mansion.For Zhao Shouhong's attention, Shao Lizi was flattered, and his affection for the Western Special Zone deepened.Accompanied by a special person, Shao Lizi spent two days playing in the Shu capital before being received by Zhao Shouhong.

Entering the large and simple general office, Shao Lizi couldn't help but feel a little moved. Zhao Shouhong's daily work place is even simpler than the offices of many local businessmen, not to mention the presidential palace in the east of Guangdong.Such an office is actually in the hands of the most famous and powerful controller in Hualan, which surprised him greatly.

Seeing Shao Lizi come in, Zhao Shouhong cordially invited Shao Lizi to sit in the reception area, and after asking the guards to bring tea, Zhao Shouhong waved everyone away. "Brother Shao is an old man of the Gongxing Society, and later established the Hualan Communist Party with Chen Qingtong. It can be said that he has made outstanding achievements." Zhao Shouhong gave Shao Lizi a high evaluation at the beginning.

Shao Lizi was flattered by Zhao Shouhong's evaluation, and he quickly humbled. The conversation between the two parties had just begun, and the atmosphere seemed quite harmonious.

"I came here this time to clarify one matter with General Manager Zhao." Shao Lizi said rather embarrassed. He didn't want to come this time, but Huang Bin, who had the best relationship with Zhao Shouhong, had already retired.The other Sun Wenhai, who had some fate with him, had no choice but to let Shao Lizi, who had the best temper and the best communication skills, come over.

"Brother Shao is here, do you still recognize the old man?" The voice came from outside the office, and a person pushed the door open and came in front of the two.Shao Lizi took a closer look, and it turned out to be Song Jiaochu, the number three figure in the National Congress Party at the time, who once dominated the country and almost became the Prime Minister.

"Brother Jiaochu, you're here too?" Shao Lizi asked in surprise.When Huang Bin returned to seclusion and Song Jiaochu was angry and quit the Gongxinghui, Sun Wenhai naturally did not dare to expose the conflict between them.To the inside of the National Congress Party, Sun Wenhai only said that the two were in poor health and had no choice but to choose to go into seclusion, but kept secret about Song Jiaochu's whereabouts, so Shao Lizi didn't know that Song Jiaochu had been an official in the special zone.

Seeing the surprised Shao Lizi, Song Jiaochu smiled wryly and said, "I think Sun Wenhai must have said in the party that Brother Huang Bin and I should retire together."

Chapter 9 Voluntary Compensation

Shao Lizi nodded with a wry smile, and Song Jiaochu said: "This is also human nature, and the party should not be split because of this matter. In fact, I entered the Western Special Zone and became the Minister of Infrastructure. Now I stay away from politics and only focus on national construction. , I feel more fulfilled.”

Shao Lizi also heard a little about what happened to his old friend, and he didn't want to go into it too deeply, so as not to embarrass Sun Wenhai, so he just sighed and didn't ask any more questions.Since it was a reunion of friends, Song Jiaochu naturally joined in. He chatted with Shao Lizi about his work after joining the Western Special Zone, which made Shao Lizi feel very sorry.

"In just a few years, Brother Song was able to build several large cities and built several skyscrapers, which really surprised me. I never thought that the special zone is so powerful that it can build multiple large cities at the same time. "Shao Lizi sighed in admiration.

Zhao Shouhong smiled: "Brother Shao, you don't have to be too modest. In fact, most of the money comes from fundraising. Even if the government invests a lot of money, after the city is built, the merchants who move in will make up for the gap. Prosperity is growing, the benefits of taxation are continuous, and the government has made a lot of money from it.”

"I heard that the Western Special Zone is developing rapidly, but I didn't expect it to be so amazing. During the two days in Shudu City, I also felt that the new urban area built near the old urban area is full of wide roads and bright street lights. The buildings and the bustling commercial street are really amazing." Speaking of the construction of the Western Special Zone, Shao Lizi couldn't help thinking of what he had seen and heard in the past two days, and couldn't help but feel a burst of emotion.

"Brother Shao likes it as long as he likes it. In fact, I haven't done enough. The Western Special Zone is too big, and now there are only a few newly built cities, which cannot be compared with the developed countries in the Western Mainland. Our construction still has a long way to go." Song Song Jiaochu sighed.

Song Jiaochu was so humble, but Shao Lizi could only shake his head and smile wryly. The so-called revolutionary capital, Guangdong City, is far behind the capital of Shu.What's more, according to Zhao Shouhong, Guanghai City is the most prosperous in the Western Special Zone. In terms of economy, Chongshan City and Ningyuan City, an industrial city, are both more prosperous than Shu Capital City.

"This time I came to the center of the Western Special Economic Zone, and I realized how big the gap is in the eastern province of Guangdong. There are large factories and busy people everywhere along the way. It can be seen from the clothes and faces of passers-by. Life in the special zone is much better than in other places in Hualan country." Shao Lizi said with emotion: "Someone in our revolutionary army has lost his head, and it is beyond his control to dare to attack the special zone."

"Brother Shao is wrong. Just two or three days after we announced the merger of the three provinces in the Western Special Zone, your army attacked. I don't think the commander of your army should be blamed for this. It may be due to poor communication. Instead, I want to ask Brother Shao to convey my apology to Mr. Sun, and we will compensate your army in full for the loss." Zhao Shouhong said with a smile.

Not only did they not reprimand, but they also helped to find reasons, and even took the initiative to ask for compensation. There has never been such a harmonious negotiation in history.After Zhao Shouhong said these words, Shao Lizi was stunned for half a minute and didn't recover, he babbled several times without making a sound.

Originally, Shao Lizi thought that Zhao Shouhong would definitely question him harshly and demand that the military government in eastern Guangdong make the necessary compensation. This is the consciousness that a loser should have.But Shao Lizi thought of all kinds of excuses all the way, but none of them were used. Instead, the other party took the responsibility on himself, and he understood why even if he wanted to break his head.

"No, no, Commander Zhao is too polite. Even if the communication is not smooth, it is our army's fault. We should pay the compensation." Shao Lizi waved his hands quickly.Since the other party gave him a step down, Shao Lizi would not be so stupid as to refute, but compensation is absolutely unacceptable to him.With Zhao Shouhong's methods and style in the past, who knows what the consequences will be if he takes his things. If the Eastern Guangdong Military Government is doomed because of this, he will become a sinner through the ages.

Shao Lizi seemed to think too much, Zhao Shouhong was not only very polite, but also repeatedly stated that he must pay compensation.In the end, Zhao Shouhong even took out a compensation list, including 1 Type 57 rifles and 2 Type 75 heavy machine guns, 300 each of the Hu-[-] [-]mm short-barreled infantry gun and the Hu-[-] [-]mm mountain gun. door, and comes with ten base ammo.In addition, Zhao Shouhong specially gave Sun Wenhai the latest bulletproof Hualan car and [-] million Chinese yuan in military compensation.

Looking at such a rich compensation list, Shao Lizi's hands trembled.He never expected that he would bite the bullet and come to negotiate, but he would get such courteous treatment and compensation. It is estimated that Sun Wenhai would accept this list without hesitation, even if he knew what the other party had planned.With these weapons in hand, the Cantonese Army not only suffered no losses, but was much stronger. If we did this a few more times, wouldn't the Cantonese Army's combat effectiveness be enough to go north to destroy the Zhili Warlords?

"Brother Shao, don't be so surprised. Our Western Special Zone is a reasonable place. Since everyone has misunderstood, it is natural to give appropriate compensation. You can't lose everyone's peace because of a little misunderstanding." Song Jiaochu also laughed at the side. Said, now in his words, he has unconsciously regarded himself as a special zone native.

"Yes, yes, this list is only our preliminary estimate. If your army suffers greater losses, we are willing to re-draw the list and increase the amount of compensation." Zhao Shouhong added.

"Enough is enough, Chief Zhao is too polite, Shao Lizi is flattered." The honest and honest Shao Lizi had never seen such a passionate negotiation, and immediately said that it was enough to make up for the loss.

"Since this is the case, I am relieved. Please brother Shao pay more respects to Mr. Sun when he goes back. Zhao Shouhong, a graduate student at the end of the year, does not want to be an enemy of Mr. I hope Mr. will ignore the previous suspicions, and don't let the two sides have any grievances because of this." Zhao Shouhong Shouhong added with a smile.

"Yes, yes, I will definitely explain it to the president." Shao Lizi repeatedly agreed.The atmosphere of the conversation between the two parties was very harmonious. In the end, Song Jiaochu even invited Shao Lizi to stay in his residence for two days.Originally, Shao Lizi planned to go back to report directly, but Zhao Shouhong said that it would take two or three days to prepare the weapons and equipment, and it would be better to go back together by then, so Shao Lizi readily agreed.

As soon as Song Jiaochu and Shao Lizi left, the door inside the office opened. Jiang Fangzhen, Wu Ziyu, Pan Wenhua, Cai Songpo, and Bai Chongxi all walked out with smiles on their faces. It turned out that many senior officers of the army were listening next door.When he came to the sofa, Jiang Fangzhen sat down with a smile and said: "Our trick of borrowing a knife to kill people should work, I think Sun Wenhai should be completely relieved."

Chapter 981 The Purpose of the Special Zone

"Is this called killing with a borrowed knife? In my opinion, this should be called retreat. We seem to be retreating, but let Sun Wenhai take the lead. Speaking of it, we are not at a loss." Wu Ziyu laughed.

Cai Songpo shrugged his shoulders: "I think what Brother Jiang said is right. This borrowing of the sword is not the borrowing of the sword. This time, I borrow the sword from Sun Wenhai to let him kill others."

The three of them are familiar, and they don't have much scruples when they speak. Bai Chongxi feels that he is the youngest, and he is a newcomer and Zhao Shouhong's student status, which seems to be quite reserved.Seeing that the three of them had spoken, Bai Chongxi laughed dryly and said, "It seems unkind for us to give obsolete equipment to the revolutionary army."

"Chongxi's words are wrong. Even our obsolete equipment is quite excellent in China, at least not inferior to the weapons supported by the Red United Kingdom to Sun Wenhai." Pan Wenhua finally spoke.
