Zhang Lingpu naturally wanted to show off in front of Lu Xiaojia, so he stood up and explained through the map:
"Commander, since the 7th and 8th Mountain Divisions of our Mountain Division, with the assistance of Air Force bombers, took advantage of the situation to capture the two cities of Pucheng and Guangfeng on December 4th, opening the door to Fujian and Jiangxi provinces, we have continued to rely on railways and highways. line, with the momentum of being invincible and invincible, we will continue to advance deep into the two provinces of Fujian and Jiangxi."
"After the 7th Mountain Division defeated Cai Chenxun's 16th Division, 5th Division, and three garrison brigades with a total of more than 40,000 people, it divided its troops into six routes to launch attacks on other cities in Gan Province. It has now taken advantage of the situation to capture Shangrao and There are 21 large and small cities including Jingde, Yingchang, Fuzhou, Nanchang, Xinyu, Yichun..."
"And the 8th Mountain Division's offensive against Fujian Province is also developing steadily and for the better, because we previously wiped out more than 40,000 Sun Chuanfang's troops in Pucheng."
"So the 8th Mountain Division has basically not encountered any resistance along the way in the past few days. As of now, 17 large and small cities in Fujian Province including Ningde, Fuding, Nanping, Gutian, Yanping, Fuzhou... have fallen into our hands."
Lu Xiao couldn't help laughing, "Hahaha, it seems that Cai Chenxun was beaten to death by our National Guard Army. Let Wang Yaowu, Sun Funeng, and Lin Juncheng continue their efforts for me."
"If they ask for anything, I, Lu Xiaojia, will never be stingy and will try my best to satisfy them. Let them strive to take over the three provinces of Jiangxi, Fujian and Anhui for me in seven days."
Then, Lu Xiaojia pointed to the Wulong River in Fujian Province and continued to ask: "Tell me, you come to me this time, you must want to solve the problem of the Wulong River."
Zhang Lingpu and Dai Kuanglan looked at each other and smiled.
Dai Kuanglan was the first to flatter him: "Commander, you are really good at predicting events. Your guesses are so accurate. Sun Chuanfang gathered his remaining nearly 40,000 troops on the south bank of the Wulong River to build a defense line along the river in an attempt to block the offensive of our 8th Mountain Division. , quite the momentum of breaking the cauldron..."
Zhang Lingpu also took up the conversation, "Commander, to tell you the truth, for this cross-river battle, I have deployed 40 LVT(A)-1 Alligator amphibious tanks and 120 LVT-2 Buffaloes from the Marine Corps two days ago. Amphibious landing vehicles are transported to Fujian Province via railway lines."
"However, Commander Sun of the 8th Mountain Division is not very satisfied with this configuration. He also wants to get strong support from the navy and air force on this basis for the cross-river battle two days later, so we came to ask you, the commander-in-chief, for instructions."
"Yes, yes." Lu Xiaojia readily agreed to this request and waved her hand. "Zhuang Yan, you little brat, come in quickly."
Zhuang Yan opened the door and said respectfully: "Commander, what are your orders?"
After Lu Xiaojia thought for a moment, "Zhuang Yan, are the two battleships, six light cruisers, and four demon-class frigates of the East China Sea Fleet now organizing training in the waters near the Nanji Islands with their trainee crews?"
"Let them change their original route. The cruisers and battleships will be sent to the sea off Fujian Province to wait for me. The frigates will pass through the Fuzhou estuary and enter the Wulong River for me."
"Yes, Commander."
At this time, someone will ask, aren't the two South Dakota-class battleships in Qingdao? Why did two more battleships suddenly appear?
It happened for a reason, during this period, due to the huge benefits brought by international trade.
Lu Xiaojia, who had plenty of money, also slightly strengthened the strength of the South China Sea Fleet.
On the basis of the original East China Sea Fleet's 2 battleships, 2 aircraft carriers, 2 escort carriers, 6 heavy cruisers, 8 light cruisers, 22 destroyers, 5 supply ships, and 26 submarines.
He also spent nearly 200 million silver dollars and purchased 2 North Carolina-class battleships, 2 Lexington-class aircraft carriers, 12 County-class landing ships, 10 M44 torpedo boats, and 4 Abdir-class ships in the system mall. Minelayers...and nearly fifty other ships of various types.
The reason why I didn't buy Iowa and Montana is very simple. The price is too expensive. There is no need for battleships to pursue large tonnage.
The East China Sea Fleet has been slightly strengthened by Lu Xiaojia and now has about 134 ships of various types, with a total naval tonnage of an astonishing 580,000 tons.
You must know that the total tonnage of John's navy during this period was only 1.55 million tons, while that of Sam's navy was 1.59 million tons.
As the overlord of the Asia-Pacific, Fuso Kingdom has a total naval tonnage of only 680,000 tons. Moreover, after Lu Xiaojia's dog-fighting education, the strength of the combined fleet has been greatly reduced.
Therefore, strictly speaking, China is the major naval power in the Asia-Pacific region today. However, due to the confidentiality methods of the Patriot Army, many of the strengths of the East China Sea Fleet have not been fully exposed at present.
Lu Xiaojia retracted her thoughts and looked at her watch, "Zhuang Yan, are you ready for hunting?"
"Commander, we are ready. Should we have lunch before setting off?"
"No need, eat after hunting, and prepare the car immediately." After Lu Xiaojia finished speaking, he said to Zhang Lingpu and Dai Kuanglan: "Since you two commanders have caught up today, then go out with me. Let’s hunt.”
Dai Kuanglan was a little confused. When did Lu Xiaojia still have this hobby? "Hunting? Commander, although there are mountains and forests in Jinling, there are no wild animals such as roe deer and tigers..."
Lu Xiaojia showed an expression like the King of Hell, "Hey hey hey, who told you that hunting requires shooting wild animals. As long as there is a forest, it is also called hunting."
In the open space at the foot of Jiangjun Mountain, soldiers pulled out 30 ragged, frail and shackled prisoners from two trucks.
These prisoners were naturally not Chinese. They were experimental subjects that the Army Research Institute could not use up. Strictly speaking, they were the remaining Japanese soldiers of the 18th Division.
Even though Zhang Lingpu had been mentally prepared in advance, a look of surprise appeared on his face at this moment, "Hiss, Commander, the so-called hunting you are talking about is not asking us to use these prisoners as moving gun targets, right?"
Dai Kuanglan added: "Old Zhang, they are not prisoners, they are Japanese soldiers from the Qingdao 18th Division. This target shooting opportunity is rare and is a reward given to us by the commander."
"These people are not prisoners, they are Japanese soldiers who harmed our compatriots. As the victors, we can naturally deal with them at will and decide their life or death."
Lu Xiaojia replied lightly, then loaded two No. 16 shotgun shells and one 9.3mm R rifle bullet into the M30 shotgun, and fastened an ax to his waist.
After knowing that these prisoners were all Japanese, Zhang Lingpu took the M30 shotgun handed over by the soldiers with peace of mind, and was as eager to try it as Dai Kuanglan.
The soldier untied the anklets and handcuffs of the fifteen Japanese soldiers, and then said in skilled Japanese:
"Our commander-in-chief, now give you a chance to survive. As long as you run into the woods, you can survive. Now it depends on whether you can run fast or not."
These Japanese soldiers were not fools either. They hurriedly walked on bow-legs, looking as funny as ducks being chased, and ran as fast as they could into the woods 300 meters away.
Lu Xiaojia put his finger between his lips, blew a loud whistle, and then urged in Japanese: "Bobo pigs, run quickly, otherwise it will be miserable!"
Seeing these Japanese soldiers running about 100 meters away, Lu Xiaojia, Dai Kuanglan, and Zhang Lingpu got into three jeeps respectively and followed them about ten meters behind.
As an adjutant, Zhuang Yan also sat with Lu Xiaojia, took out a small trumpet and started playing happily.
"boom!"
"boom!"
There were three sudden gunshots, and two Japanese soldiers were hit by 9.3mm rifle bullets. They fell to the open ground and twitched. The remaining Japanese soldiers were so frightened that they wanted to take out the third leg under their crotch and use it as a leg.
A steady stream of gunshots continued to explode in the open space. In the end, most of these moving targets failed to escape the peanuts of Lu Xiaojia and others.
Three Japanese soldiers were lucky enough to run into the woods. They were captured by the guards who had been lurking in the woods for a long time, and were brought out tied up.
Lu Xiaojia showed a joking expression and ordered the guards: "These Japanese soldiers are running so fast. Their body structure must be something extraordinary. You should cut off their two dog legs immediately, and then see Let’s see if they can still run so fast.”
"Yes, Commander!"
If you want to ask why such an event is held, Lu Xiaojia will reply: "This is just my little special hobby, can't I satisfy it?"
