    "Report!"

    "Come in!"

    Lu Jianzhang was looking at the combat map at the headquarters, surrounded by a circle of combat staff, and the entire headquarters was busy.  Just as he was listening attentively to a combat staff member explaining the current battle situation between the two sides on a map, the director of the telecommunications room hurried over.

    "Urgent call from the Air Force!"

    "Air force?" Lu Jianzhang was slightly startled, stopped the combat staff's explanation, and turned around with a puzzled expression.  As the commander-in-chief of the Western Army, although the Army and the Air Force cooperated tacitly in the war, especially the Air Force's coordinated operations, which benefited the Army a lot, Lu Jianzhang still valued the new Air Force unit.  However, the Air Force and the Army belong to two separate systems. Although the two armies operate in coordination in the General Staff's operational plan, they can complement each other.  In other words, as Army General, Commander of the Northwest Military Region, and Commander-in-Chief of the Northwest Army, Lu Jianzhang can only call for support and coordination with the Air Force, but cannot directly command the Air Force in operations. The same is true for the Air Force.

    Regarding this issue, Lu Jianzhang made a suggestion to the General Staff Headquarters some time ago, requesting that the command of part of the Air Force be assigned to the direct leadership of combat units. This can facilitate the flexibility of the overall command and facilitate war needs.  For this suggestion, the General Staff has not responded yet, but only said that it needs to be decided after careful consideration.

    As the supreme commander of the Air Force, Prime Minister Fang Zida has actually considered this issue, but after all, the Air Force is different from the armored forces. The Air Force is a new service. Its role is not only for ground support and air combat, but also for other purposes.  aspect role.  As a general like Lu Jianzhang, he is far from the ability to directly command the air force. We can see the good aspects from his suggestions. However, once the air force is dismantled and handed over to Lu Jianzhang's command, it will be counterproductive and weaken the original combat effectiveness of the air force.

    Of course.  Fang Zida has his own plans for the future of the Air Force.  After the formation of the entire air force is completed, part of the aviation force that belongs to the army can be appropriately established in the army force.  The same is true for the navy. In addition to the Air Force General Headquarters, the future air force will also have two special services: the Army Air Force and the Naval Air Force. But these are things for the future.  The conditions are not yet mature to achieve this.

    When he heard the urgent telegram from the Air Force, the first thing that flashed through Lu Jianzhang's mind would not be the central government's order for him to directly command the Air Force, because if this order was issued, it would also be from the General Staff Headquarters, not from the General Staff Headquarters.  He was told by the Air Force.  So, could it be that the Air Force is acting alone and needs the Army's cooperation?  The puzzled Lu Jianzhang took the telegram and only glanced at it, and he was suddenly stunned.

    "Where is Rostov's location?"

    As soon as Lu Jianzhang finished speaking, the combat staff on the side immediately found the location of Rostov on the map and placed a small flag on it as a mark.

    He stared at the flag on the map.  Lu Jianzhang soon discovered that Rostov is located northeast of Moscow, only about 200 kilometers away from Moscow, and only 180 kilometers away from Vladimir.

    "Damn it!" Lu Jianzhang cursed and quickly ordered loudly: "Immediately notify the division and brigade commanders to come to the headquarters to hold a combat meeting!"

    About an hour later, except for a few commanders who were on the front line and could not escape, the other generals at all levels rushed to the headquarters. When they entered the conference room of the headquarters, they found that Lu Jianzhang, who had been cheerful these days, looked gloomy today.  It's like squeezing out water.

    ¡°Boss, what happened?¡± Major General Yang Huchen, commander of the 91st Brigade, was once Lu Jianzhang¡¯s guard commander.  Relying on his relationship with Lu Jianzhang, he couldn't help but ask softly.

    Who knew it would be a good thing if he didn't ask? As soon as he opened his mouth, Lu Jianzhang's sharp eyes swept over to him.  With a dark face, he asked: "Is your 91st Brigade in charge of Vladimir's northern border area?"

    "yes¡­¡­."

    "Have there been any changes in the defense zone recently?"

    "Thiseverything is normal. According to your order, our unit is mainly responsible for the right wing security of the main force. The whole brigade does not dare to neglect" Monk Zhang Er was confused. Yang Huchen didn't understand. The front line was fiercely fought.  And his 91st Brigade was placed as a second-line force in the northern area of ??Vladimir.  From the Battle of Moscow to now, he has not gained a single victory. Every day is just preparation. Is it possible that Lu Jianzhang is planning to mobilize his troops and send them to the front line to replace other troops?  But that's not right.  Looking at Lu Jianzhang's look, he seemed to be dissatisfied with himself. What had he done to make Mr. Lu unhappy?

    "It's normal!" Lu Jianzhang was furious. He grabbed the telegram in front of him and threw it at Yang Huchen: "Look! Look! Everything is normal? You can tell me! I will leave the right wing to you."  , you actually neglected your duty?Almost killed all the soldiers in the army!  I I'm going to shoot you!  "

    Lu Jianzhang was furious and banged the table, but Yang Huchen, who was stunned, had no idea what was going on. As for the other people attending the meeting, they didn't know what happened. At this time, Lu Jianzhang became more and more angry as he scolded him, and he untied it in a fit of anger.  He took off his holster and planned to draw his gun.

    "Boss, calm down! Boss, calm down!" Lu Jianzhang's actions startled everyone. The person sitting closest to Lu Jianzhang was Jia Zongrang. He jumped up quickly and grabbed Lu Jianzhang's hand that drew the gun. While urging him, he turned around and stood still.  Yang Huchen stood there and shouted loudly: "Yang Zhongxiang, what wrong did you do? Why don't you apologize to the boss right away!"

    "Boss, if you have something to say, please tell me. Even if Yang Zhongxiang is at fault, he will not be punished until death. Besides, now is the time to employ people. Let's leave him alive for the time being to pay for his crimes and meritorious service."

    "Yes, boss, calm down the fire If you have anything to say, please tell me. Brother Yang has been loyal to you, boss, over the years. He has worked hard even without credit, so please let him go."

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????"  At this time, Lu Jianzhang gradually calmed down, glared at Yang Huchen, and sat back in his seat angrily.

    At this time, someone remembered the piece of paper that Lu Jianzhang threw on Yang Huchen's face. Zhang Zhizhong was sitting not far from the falling piece of paper. He bent down to pick up the piece of paper, looked at it subconsciously, and his face suddenly changed.

    "What! The air force discovered that there are large-scale enemy forces in the area south of Rostov and are moving towards Moscow?"

    "Ah! Is it true or false?"

    "Where is Rostov? How far away are the enemies from us? How many enemies are there in total?"

    "Where did the troops come from? They couldn't be farmers organized by Stalin, could they?"

    "Why was there no news at all in advance? What do the troops in the north do for food?"

    As soon as these words were spoken, everyone finally understood why Lu Jianzhang was so angry just now. The 91st Brigade was responsible for the area north of Vladimir, and Rostov was only more than a hundred kilometers away from the 91st Brigade. There was no warning under the nose.  Such a large group of enemies suddenly appeared. As the brigade commander, Yang Huchen didn't know it yet. It would be strange for Lu Jianzhang not to be angry.

    "I have verified with the Air Force via telegram half an hour ago. According to the pilots who returned from the Air Force, there is indeed such a group of enemies moving rapidly southward in the Rostov area. According to preliminary judgment, the enemy's strength is at least 300,000.  And it¡¯s probably the enemy¡¯s main force, definitely not a new army.¡±

    Lu Jianzhang said coldly, and the room suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked at each other and didn't know what to say.  Now, the entire army is storming Moscow. Judging from the comparison of the total strength of the enemy and ourselves, the total strength of Soviet Russia is almost three times that of the Chinese Regiment.  But in terms of equipment, morale, and combat effectiveness, the Chinese Regiment far has the upper hand.  As expected, it was only a matter of time before the enemy was completely defeated and Moscow was captured.

    But at this time, the enemy suddenly showed up with more than 300,000 reinforcements, and they were regular troops of the Red Army.  Once this force reinforces Moscow, it will bring great trouble to the current battle.  What's even more frightening is that if this force launches a direct attack on the Vladimir area in Rostov and catches the ** regiment by surprise, the consequences will be even more serious.

    "Damn it! What does Yang Huchen do for food? If I had known, I wouldn't have interceded with him just now. I almost killed everyone!"

    Thinking of these consequences, everyone's expressions changed slightly, and everyone looked at Yang Huchen who was still standing in a daze with angry expressions.  Yes, just like what Lu Jianzhang just scolded, you Yang Huchen will serve as the right wing defense zone to ensure the safety of the main force.  But now hundreds of thousands of enemies are almost right under your nose and you still don¡¯t know, isn¡¯t this harmful?

    "II" Yang Huchen's face was pale, his lips were trembling slightly, and he didn't know how to explain it.  He was wronged!  It is simply more unjust than Dou E!  He, Yang Huchen, had not neglected his duties at all. The scouts that should have been sent out had been sent out long ago, but no one had ever reported any traces of the enemy to him!  Could it be that this enemy fell from the sky?  But now that the facts were before him, Yang Huchen couldn't figure out what was going on.

    "The position of Major General Yang Huchen as the commander of the 91st Brigade was removed and he was demoted to the company commander. The deputy brigade commander replaced the brigade. Jia Zongrang's department was also transferred to take charge of the northern border defense area. The entire 91st Brigade was temporarily under the command of Jia Zongrang!"

    Lu Jianzhang dismissed Yang Huchen as brigade commander on the spot. After announcing the order, he raised his hand and two guards immediately stepped forward and took off Yang Huchen's epaulettes, and then took him out.

    After dealing with Yang Huchen and transferring Jia Zong's troops to the north, the next question is to find out where this army came from, who is its commander, how many troops they have in total, and what kind of equipment they have.How is the combat effectiveness, etc. At the same time, the entire legion must make corresponding adjustments to make a complete plan.

    For these questions, no one can answer them.  Now it is just the intelligence of the Air Force, and the discovery of this unit is also a coincidence. These issues can only be verified through continued reconnaissance. Judging from the distance between the two sides, there is not much time left for the Chinese Regiment.

    While everyone was worrying about these issues, Bai Chongxi, who had been silent, exchanged silent glances with Zhang Zhizhong beside him. After thinking about it, Bai Chongxi stood up and said: "Boss, everyone, maybe I know the origin of this army  ¡­.¡±

    (I¡¯m going to sweep the tomb tomorrow, there may be no updates, so hereby notify you!) (To be continued)
