Chapter 157

Fang Jianxiong still doesn't know whether the leak of this intelligence is from China or Germany. Neither the Military Intelligence Bureau nor the Political Intelligence Bureau has reported similar intelligence. But this undoubtedly sounded a warning to Fang Jianxiong.

This thing definitely cannot be done, at least the time is not right now. Fang Jianxiong's small body cannot handle countries with bad tempers such as Britain, France, Japan, Russia and Germany. The US government has got what it thought of, and then it will have to deal with all the traps by itself.

Go and jump. You can't agree to such a stupid thing, but you can't show nothing at all. The United States still has to continue hugging its thighs.

"There is indeed military cooperation between China and Germany, but I think this is not inconsistent with the interests of China and the United States. If Captain Stilwell is interested, he can go to the exercise and see it on the ground. As a personal military consultant

of course. Except for Captain Stilwell, we will no longer invite anyone else to observe this exercise. As for announcing the secret agreement

Regarding the matter, I can promise that one year from now at the latest, I will urge the government to make a decision to formally announce the cooperation agreement between China and the United States to the world." Fang Jianxiong spoke very slowly, pondering every word carefully.

, for fear that something will go wrong. The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. Things related to national interests must not be careless in the slightest.

A military train drove into Jinan Station in the dark. Liu Mianyue and Xia Xiang got off the train together, walked around the platform for a while, smoked a cigarette and stretched their shins. A station attendant came over and rushed to the two who were smoking.

They laughed and said: "Sir, what's in the car? It's mysterious!"

Liu Mianyue grinned at him and said with a murderous look in his eyes: "Stop asking. If you know too much, you will not live long."

Xia Xiang interrupted with a chuckle: "Okay, why are you trying to scare him? Isn't it just curiosity? Okay, go ahead and don't ask about this."

The two soldiers, both with the rank of major general, were sitting on the platform in an inconspicuous manner, waiting for the signal for the train to continue on its way.

"Lao Xia, when my brigade was training last month, more than half of it was broken. The quality of this thing is really unreliable. The wheeled one is just okay. The track is so tight that it can't run very far before it falls down." Liu Mie

The more he talked about this, the more he looked sad. After the Shandong Campaign, the two were thrown to Xuancheng, where a strange army was waiting for them at the base of Jiulian Mountain.

Chariot brigade, I have never heard of this title. Thirty-six tanks and seventy-two wheeled armored vehicles constitute a chariot brigade, which almost killed Liu Mianyue and Xia Xiang. This is a brand-new

It's a gadget, I never thought about having this kind of weapon before.

The so-called tank is an extremely crude thing. The chassis is an improved version of a crawler tractor. It looks extremely weird to the two of them. The failure rate is extremely high. There are a total of thirty-six tanks in one brigade, and they can travel within thirty kilometers.

I was able to finish the trip safely, but after thirty kilometers, one car broke down after another.

"I heard that it was made by some European experts at the request of the chief instructor. It is very powerful. But it is too easy to break. I think the thing that will determine the outcome on the battlefield in the future is this thing called a tank." Xia

Xiang was relatively relaxed. He dropped his cigarette butt, patted his butt, and asked Liu Mianyue to get in the car.

The Great Wall Type I tank was developed by a team of political prisoner engineers from Europe. It weighs 8 tons, is equipped with a 37 mm caliber cannon, a Maxim heavy machine gun, and has a crew of four. There is also a tank made of

An armored vehicle converted from a car without a gun

, there is only one Maxim, carrying six people. These two tank brigades are definitely the secret weapons in Fang Jianxiong’s hands. They have been kept in a state of high confidentiality. This Sino-German military exercise was pulled out with the intention of selling them.

A good price, and by the way, the blood in Europe will flow a little more violently.

Laiyang, within a hundred miles of the exercise battlefield, has been set up as a military restricted area. The cavalry is responsible for patrolling. All people in the area will temporarily leave, and the military will compensate certain losses. The chariot brigade came to Laiyang half a month in advance to familiarize itself with the terrain. , make preparations before war.

Fang Jianxiong arrived in Laiyang three days before the exercise, accompanied by Jiang Fangzhen and Cai E.

Zhang Xiaohuai did not follow him to Laiyang, but went to Shenyang. Some troops in the Shenyang Military Region were changing their equipment and adding technical equipment.

Zhang Zuolin, who was stationed in Anshan, did not expect that he could stay in the Northeast. Although the troops had to be stationed in Anshan, it was still better than leaving the Northeast. Originally, Zhang Zuolin had packed up his troops and was ready to set off, but a telegram came from Beijing asking him to wait for a few days. I left again the next day. After waiting for four days, I received the order to pick up Zhang Xiaohuai at the station. The Shenyang garrison was temporarily led by Li Xiaochuan, who greeted a group of people and went to the station. Zhang Xiaohuai was on a military train, not a special train, but there was a train in front of him. An armored train was escorting.

Zhang Xiaohuai got off the car and followed Zhu Qinglan. When he saw that the commanders of the Northeastern troops had arrived, Zhang Xiaohuai smiled and went up to say hello. After being polite, Zhang Xiaohuai said to Zhang Zuolin: "Yuting, your division is a Japanese weapon. This The next priority is to give your troops the equipment to change. The equipment is all on the truck, so let your soldiers help unload the truck."

After a lot of trouble, Zhang Zuolin got a list of equipment when he came out of the headquarters. After reading it, he couldn't help but rub his eyes. After making sure that he saw it correctly, he handed it to his brother Zhang Zuoxiang and said: "Old man, take a look. This list.”

Zhang Zuoxiang didn't understand why. He took it over curiously and took a look. He took a deep breath. The first item stunned Zhang Zuoxiang. 24 German-made 75mm mountain guns, 24 70mm infantry guns, and 24 120mm Mortars, 24 81mm mortars, 96 60mm mortars. Every time he looked at one of the following items, the corners of Zhang Zuoxiang’s mouth twitched. He had already seen that the National Defense Forces were well-equipped, but he honestly never thought he would be able to use them. Same equipment.

Zhang Zuolin's division is a bit special. Basically, the personnel are not moved. Zhang Zuolin is assigned a chief of staff and more than a dozen officers from the technical arms. This is a sign of extreme trust. Of course, Zhang Zuolin and his brothers have no intention of doing so. The equipment is so good. I didn’t expect it, I really didn’t expect it.

"Let's go back and ask the chief of staff. No wonder the dozen or so people he brought are practicing artillery brothers every day." Zhang Zuolin got on his horse excitedly and hurried to the north of the city where he was stationed.

Zhang Zuolin's chief of staff was Li Daxiong, a first-term student of the teaching team, who was originally a member of the Jiaodong Self-Defense Force. During the Jinan Defense War, Li Daxiong did not go, but stayed in Jiaodong to look after the family. He did not achieve many military exploits, and Li Daxiong was very disappointed. Regrettably. After the reorganization of the army, Qi Zhenghong and Xing Nan went to Germany to study, Xia Xiang and Liu Mieyue went to Wuhu to report, and the others were transferred to various places as division commanders and brigade commanders. Li Daxiong was transferred to the Northeast to serve as Zhang Zuolin's chief of staff. .

Zhang Zuolin rushed into the office like a wind, slapped the list on the table: "Chief of Staff, take a look at this, can you get it?" Li Daxiong was a little excited when he saw him, and Zhang Zuoxiang, who came in later, also looked greedy. He picked up the list and looked at it strangely and then said: "What's wrong? Isn't this normal? We are Class A divisions. Without these equipment, how dare you say that you are Class A divisions? Besides, our division is better than the average one." There is one more brigade in the Class A Division. That is for the commander to take care of Yu Ting and his old brothers. No, this equipment is distributed according to the normal Class A Division. I have to go to Commander-in-Chief Zhang and explain the situation. ." As Li Daxiong was about to go out, Zhang Zuolin quickly stopped him and said: "Chief of Staff, don't get excited. In fact, I'm quite content. Commander Zhang is very busy, so don't disturb his old man."

Li Daxiong knew what he was thinking, and explained with a smile: "Brother Yuting, don't worry too much. This is normal in the National Defense Force, and these equipments are necessary. Our division is quite special, and the commander has also taken special care of this.

The logistics personnel must have made a mistake in the list, and there is still a brigade of equipment missing."

After Li Daxiong finished speaking, he went out. Zhang Zuolin and his brothers had extremely wonderful expressions on their faces. They all thought it was incredible that they were not direct descendants of Marshal Fang. Since they were not direct descendants, how could they have the same equipment as his direct descendants?

The specialness of Zhang Zuolin's division has to do with its personnel. When it was in Beiyang, it was said to be one division, but in fact it was much more. In addition to insufficient weapons and equipment, there were as many as three infantry brigades of riflemen. Zhang Zuolin reported the truth and explained the situation.

The report from the Northeast reached Fang Jianxiong. Considering the special nature of Zhang Zuolin's unit, Fang Jianxiong specially approved Zhang Zuolin's division to retain its original number. A normal Class A division has two brigades, and Zhang Zuolin's division has three.

"Things can't be done like this. I can't help but stop the chief of staff. The commander-in-chief cares about our brothers, and we can't be sorry for him. If we really do it, we will send the extra brothers home." It was Tang Yulin who said this.

Take one of the brothers.

"Yes, hurry up and stop the chief of staff." Zhang Zuolin slapped his thigh and hurriedly chased out. Unexpectedly, Li Daxiong had already gone far, so he had to follow him to the military region headquarters. When he got there, he was stopped by the guard, who said he was waiting.

Summon.

A group of people waited outside for about ten minutes. Li Daxiong came out with a smile on his face. Zhang Zuolin and others came to greet them. When Li Daxiong saw them, he smiled and said: "I made a mistake. The commander-in-chief specially approved an independent cavalry.

The brigade commander will nominate one by Yuting. This independent cavalry brigade will be sent to Jilin. The equipment will be equipped separately and will be shipped tomorrow."

Everyone looked at each other and went back together to discuss who would take charge of this independent brigade.

When Zhang Xiaohuai arrived in Shenyang, Fang Jianxiong also arrived in Laiyang. Among the people greeting him at the station, he saw his German brother Bob. When the two met, they naturally embraced each other warmly. Bob came to China at his own initiative.

.The last time he came to China, he stayed for half a year before going back. This time he came because he heard about an exercise between China and Germany, so it was a matter of life and death.

Bob knew very well that doing exercises with Fang Jianxiong would definitely gain something, and it would be a huge gain. Sure enough, after leaving the station, he followed them to the station of the First Tank Brigade. Brigadier Xia Xiang, with his men
