    "Is this the photo sent by the Japanese fleet?"

    In the study room of Su Rui's home, looking at the stack of black and white photos in his hand, Su Rui's face was very gloomy.

    "Yes, sir." Liang Zhi took a long breath and said: "At about 9:20 this morning, the fleet was discovered by two of our pilots near Mazu Island. The two pilots' original mission at that time was  It was just a search and patrol on land, but later the captain thought that the Japanese might come from the sea, so he temporarily changed his mind and flew to the nearby sea fish for reconnaissance and patrol. Unexpectedly, he actually encountered a Japanese fleet.  "

    Having said this, Liang Zhi showed a trace of joy on his face, and then said with a wry smile: "According to the reports of the two pilots, this fleet carrying two divisions was advancing along the vicinity of Mazu Island at that time.  If nothing else goes wrong, they will soon circle behind us. When we received the warning, the airport immediately dispatched two squadrons of fighters and one squadron of dive bombers to fly to the target area, but they missed the target.  After searching nearby for a long time, we found that the fleet had turned around and sailed to Fuzhou Port. We were relieved. If these two pilots had not temporarily changed the reconnaissance route, I am afraid we would have suffered a big loss this time.  ¡±

    Suri also remained silent, feeling a mixture of gratitude and joy for the two pilots in his heart.  If there were not those two pilots, I am afraid that tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, a steady stream of Japanese troops would land at will in Xiamen, Quanzhou, Putian and other places. By that time, the 400th Army and the 7th Army, whose retreats were cut off, would probably be  Making dumplings.  Thinking of this consequence, Suri felt a chill running down his back, and at the same time, he felt a deep sense of gratitude to the two pilots who warned him in time.

    Thinking of this, Suri asked again: "Which unit are those two pilots from? What are their names and where are they now?"

    Liang Zhi sighed lightly and said, "Those two pilots are from the 1st Squadron of the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Air Division. The leader is the Major Squadron Leader of the 1st Squadron, named Feng Xiaoming. The other is his wingman who just graduated from aviation school.  Luo Gan, the wingman who graduated from the class. But Feng Xiaoming was hit in the chest by Japanese anti-aircraft artillery shrapnel. He forced the plane to fly to the airport. After landing, he passed out and has not yet woken up."

    Su Rui said gratefully: "For such an outstanding pilot, we must ensure his safety. Ziran. Immediately dispatch a transport plane to take Feng Xiaoming to Guangzhou Hospital for treatment. We need the best doctors and the best medicines. Do you understand?"  ?¡±

    "yes!"

    Liang Zhi agreed, and then said: "Sir, judging from the aerial reconnaissance just now. After the Japanese army's whereabouts were exposed, they were afraid that we would bomb their fleet, so they unloaded the second and third divisions to  Fuzhou, and Fuzhou is only dozens of kilometers away from Minqing County. It is obvious that they will use the fastest speed to meet up with the 63rd and 93rd Divisions of Minqing, and then use lightning speed to cover up their ears.  Defeat our troops. Then march southward. Today we occupy the entire territory of Fujian. In this case we"

    "etc¡­¡­"

    Su Rui interrupted Liang Zhi and asked: "Ziran, do you think our three divisions in Minqing have a chance of winning when facing the four Japanese divisions?"

    Liang Zhi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Sir, to be honest, I don't know. Although the Japanese army is inferior to our army in terms of weapons, equipment and firepower, the 2nd and 3rd Divisions are not easy to deal with. They are the most well-trained in Japan."  army, and their numbers are superior. So from this point of view, I think the outcome should be 50-50."

    "Is it just a 50-50 split?" Su Rui sneered, "This is not the only backhand of the Japanese."

    "Of course not." Liang Zhi continued: "According to intelligence, the Japanese 1st Tank Division and 24th Division have set off from Hengzhou this morning and are expected to arrive in Nanping the day after tomorrow. By then, the Japanese will definitely rely on  With their tank divisions and superior troops, they launched a fierce bombardment against our army. To be honest, if our army did not dispatch large-scale air support, I don¡¯t think Nanping¡¯s three divisions could withstand the three Japanese divisions.  regiment and a tank division."

    Su Rui gently placed the photo in his hand on the desk. After discovering the traces of the Japanese army, he felt relieved.  In Suri's view, the most terrifying enemy is the elusive enemy hiding in the dark.  And the enemy who has been exposed has a way to deal with him, no matter how powerful he is.  Now that he understood the location and deployment of the Japanese troops, it was time to fight with real swords and guns. Suri's mind immediately began to spin rapidly.

    After a while, Su Rui said to Liang Zhi: "Ziran, what do you think of this Japanese offensive? Do you think our troops deployed in Nanping and Minqing can withstand the first wave of Japanese attacks?"

    Liang Zhi thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Chang??, I think it is unrealistic to rely solely on the five divisions of the 400th Army and the 7th Army to withstand the attack of nearly 200,000 Japanese troops from eight divisions. After all, the difference in strength is nearly double, even if we are better in weapons  Although it has an advantage, it cannot completely guarantee that it can withstand the Japanese attack.  I think we must send reinforcements to Fujian!  Otherwise, no matter how powerful Chief Bai is, it will be difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice!  "

    Su Rui nodded slightly and said affirmatively: "Well, more troops are necessary. Where do you think we should mobilize the troops?"

    Liang Zhi said without thinking: "The Thirty-eighth Army in Jiangxi cannot move, otherwise the Japanese army in Anhui will definitely sneak in. In this case, the only way is to pass over the Thirty-ninth Army stationed in Guangdong, which is exactly what happened.  The Thirty-ninth Army has not fought any battles since it was reorganized. Li Yifeng must have been feeling very depressed for a long time. Now we have this opportunity to give him some practice. Isn't this a good thing?"

    Su Rui glanced sideways at Liang Zhi, "But if the 39th Army is transferred, Guangdong will be empty. Aren't you afraid that the Japanese will land in Guangzhou again? You must know that Guangdong is our foundation. If Guangdong  If we fail, all our efforts over the years will be in vain.¡±

    "Haha" Liang Zhi laughed, "Sir, why bother with me? Although we only have three armies in name, we have never stopped training new recruits in the past two years, with one batch every three months.  In terms of new recruits, we have trained more than 100,000 soldiers since last year. They have all been hidden by you in the security forces in various places. At this time, you can no longer hide those security forces.  Get it."

    "Haha I knew I couldn't hide it from you." Su Rui laughed, pointed at Liang Zhi and said: "Actually, I set up these security forces just in case, and they are also for emergency use. I didn't expect to send them out so quickly.  It¡¯s put to use.¡±

    Since the Nationalist Government gave Su Rui a group army establishment, it has agreed with Su Rui not to expand the army without authorization, but Su Rui is not a good boy.  While he agreed to the National Government, he waved the banner of the security brigade in the name of the local area and began to expand the security forces. As of now, he has expanded ten security brigades, with a size of nearly 150,000 people. Regardless of the size of these troops,  In terms of training and organization, they are almost exactly the same as the regular troops of the Seventh Army. Although they have not been tested in actual combat and I don¡¯t know what their combat effectiveness is, at least this is a force that has undergone formal training and can be brought to the battlefield.  of.

    But such a large armed force does not directly belong to the Seventh Army Headquarters, but directly takes orders from the Guangdong Security Command. The commander of this Security Command is also an old man who followed Suri during the Battle of Nanjing. He is Wu Dali.

    Wu Dali, who was born as a machine gunner, was nicknamed the Big Man. His cultural level was not high, and his tactical and theoretical level was not comparable to that of Liang Zhi and Bai Jingran. However, this person had one advantage, that is, he was very loyal to Su Rui, and he could be called Su Rui's leader.  Rui's loyal confidant, so he was appointed as the Guangdong Security Commander.

    Liang Zhizi, the chief of staff, certainly knows about this unit.  But Liang Zhi never expressed his opinion on Suri's bypassing him to form a security force.  People as smart as him naturally understand that a superior person will not put all his eggs in the same basket. Although Suri trusts him very much, he is the veritable second-in-command in the Seventh Army.  Very great power, but no matter how much Suri trusted him, it was impossible to leave everything to him to take charge of. This was purely a matter of a person's nature and had nothing to do with trust.

    Liang Zhi, who had figured this out a long time ago, did not feel any grudge after hearing Su Rui finally admit it personally. Instead, he smiled and said: "Okay, in that case, then I can rest assured that the third party will do it."  The 99th Army has been transferred to the front line, I will give the order later."

    "etc!"

    Suddenly Su Rui stopped Liang Zhi. He suddenly raised his head and said, "Zi Ran, wait a minute. I suddenly remembered that our security force has never been on the battlefield since its establishment. This is not possible. Otherwise, this  The 399th Army will not be allowed to go up this time. What do you think about us moving the security brigade up?"

    "Eh This is a good idea." Liang Zhi's eyes also lit up, but then he said hesitantly: "It's just that most of the soldiers in the security brigade have never seen blood, and now they are suddenly sent  Will it be too sudden to go to the battlefield? I'm afraid they will suffer too many casualties, which will affect the war situation in Fujian!"

    Suri shook his head: "I didn't build the security force to let them go to the streets to catch thieves like the police. What I want is a force that can go to the battlefield and fight the Japanese with bayonets. If they are not allowed to be tempered by blood and fire, they will never be able to survive."  It won¡¯t become a climate!¡±

    Seeing that Su Rui was determined to send these security forces to the front line, he had no choice but to agree, but he also advised Su Rui that onceIf the security forces suffered too many casualties, they would all be withdrawn, and Su Rui readily agreed.  (To be continued.
