Zhang Xinghan came to the archway in the backyard. Guo Zhong and Shen Xingye who were waiting here quickly stood up and saluted: "The main seat."

Zhang Xinghan waved his hand casually and asked: "Yizhi, what's the matter? Is there something wrong?"

Shen Xingye nodded and said: "Chief Commander, the Shanghai Station of our Security Bureau has just received the latest information. The Japanese are likely to launch a retaliatory air raid on the capital Nanjing in the near future to avenge the attack on Tokyo."

"Oh?" Zhang Xinghan frowned when he heard this and said, "Have you figured out the specific date?"

"It's not clear yet, but I have ordered the persons in charge of each station in Jiangnan Branch to step up their inquiries, and we should get the exact information soon.

Because the Japanese are preparing to secretly evacuate their expatriates and businessmen in Nanjing." Shen Xingye replied.

Zhang Xinghan nodded and said to the two of them: "Wait for me outside. We will go to the headquarters immediately to inform the chief of staff and discuss countermeasures."

"Yes." Guo Zhong and Shen Xingye stood up and responded at the same time, then turned around and took the order to leave.

Zhang Xinghan turned around and walked into the backyard to say goodbye to his family.

……………………

Fifteen minutes later, the headquarters of the Northeast Border Guard.

Chief of Staff Jiang Baili, Fourth Army Commander Zhao Zhenfan, Deputy Commander Gao Chu and others have all arrived.

Zhao Zhenfan's group army headquarters was located in Dalian, while Gao Chu's deputy headquarters was located in Harbin. Zhao Zhenfan was nominally the commander-in-chief, but in fact, one of them was responsible for southern Manchuria and the other for northern Manchuria.

Compared with the current situation, Gaochu's defense of Northern Manchuria was even more important than Zhao Zhenfan's Southern Manchuria.

After all, the Japanese are unlikely to make a comeback in a short time, and the Soviets are likely to attack again.

This time, they came to report to Zhang Xinghan in Jilin City, and they happened to catch up with this meeting.

After everyone sat down, Zhang Xinghan asked Shen Xingye to explain the situation, then looked at everyone and asked, "What do you think about this? Let's talk about it."

"Chief Commander, I think we should stop this Japanese action. Regardless of our relationship with Mr. Chiang, we are all members of the National Revolutionary Army in name only, and Nanjing is indeed our capital for the time being.

Our air raid on Tokyo taught the Japanese a lesson and showed off their power, which greatly inspired the Chinese people and improved the cohesion of our country.

But if the Japanese air raid on Nanjing succeeds, the results of our air raid on Tokyo will immediately disappear and have counterproductive effects.

At the same time, this is the purpose of the Japanese. The air raid on Nanjing will not only undermine our people's confidence in the army, but also restore the reputation and confidence of the Japanese army among their own people.

It shows that the Japanese army is also capable of air raids on our Chinese capital.

We cannot let them achieve such a goal no matter what." Jiang Baili was the first to state his opinion.

"Well, what the chief of staff said makes sense, and I agree with him." Zhao Zhenfan nodded in agreement.

"I haven't said it yet. If the Japs want to bomb Nanjing, we have to organize them. We don't care about anything. As long as the Japs want to do it, we can't do what they want. That's right.

Moreover, what Shen Zuo said is indeed correct, hehe!" Gao Chu scratched his head and said with a smile.

Zhang Xinghan pondered for a while and said: "Since you all think so, let's start preparations immediately. The chief of staff's analysis is indeed reasonable."

After a pause, Zhang Xinghan said to Jiang Baili: "Chief of Staff, the best way to prevent Japanese air attacks on Nanjing is to station our air force in Nanjing or even Shanghai and Yangzhou.

But judging from the current situation, this method is not feasible.

So we have to think of other ways."

Jiang Baili nodded and said: "The commander-in-chief is right, I think the most urgent thing right now is to find a way to inform the military commander of the Japanese air attack on Nanjing, or directly tell Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.

Let him prepare in advance. At the same time, I think we can send Zero fighter jets to take off from Dalian Air Force Base and patrol the coastal airspace from Tianjin to Shanghai. Once the Japanese fleet is discovered, report it immediately. We are sending the main force of the air force to intercept. This should

Able to prevent Japanese air raids on Nanjing."

"Chief of Staff, your suggestion is good. It is necessary to inform Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. After all, he is now the leader of the national government. We cannot let him die under a Japanese air raid.

Although the military commander may have already learned the news, we still need to inform him." After saying that, Zhang Xinghan turned to Shen Xingye and said: "Yizhi, please arrange this matter, be careful not to expose our people.

"

"Yes, I understand." Shen Xingye nodded and turned to leave.

"As for sending aircraft to patrol and block thousands of kilometers of coastline, although we can do it, we can block it during the day, but what about at night?" Zhang Xinghan asked: "Have you ever thought about it? The Japanese fleet can approach the southeastern coast at night.

offshore, and then took off fighter planes to carry out air strikes and bombings on Nanjing.

In fact, even if they take off from any sea area during the day, it will be difficult for us to completely block them, because Nanjing is only a few hundred kilometers away from the sea, and the Japanese naval fleet only needs to get within 200 kilometers of our southeastern coast to

Take off in any direction."

What Zhang Xinghan said was correct. Jiang Baili, Zhao Zhenfan and others frowned and fell into deep thought.

Gao Chu rubbed his head and said with a depressed look: "Then what should we do? Is there no way to stop this little Japan?"

"Of course not. If you want to truly intercept the Japanese, the best way is to dispatch a naval fleet and directly blockade the East China Sea." Zhang Xinghan said thoughtfully.

"Navy?" Jiang Baili, Zhao Zhenfan and others were shocked when they heard this. They looked at each other and asked in shock: "Chief Commander, do you mean to send out the navy? This is our secret force. The most important thing is that they have not yet formed an army.

A year later, they are still in the training stage, and no one can tell how much combat effectiveness they will have.

Moreover, the number of our warships is significantly smaller than that of the Japanese. The Japanese navy has been established for hundreds of years, and the active combined naval fleets are all well-trained and have rich practical experience. Our navy may not be their opponent yet."

"Of course I know this." Zhang Xinghan said: "In terms of surface strength, whether it is the number and tonnage of ships or the quality of our personnel, we are still far behind the Japanese.

However, naval battles, like battles on land, have conventional battles and unconventional battles. When the overall strength is not as good as the enemy, the only way to deal with the enemy is to use surprise and surprise."

"Could it be that the General Manager's words meant mobilizing our submarine force?" Jiang Baili suddenly realized.

Zhang Xinghan smiled and nodded: "That's it. First of all, the Japanese don't know the existence of our naval submarine force. Furthermore, our submarines are more advanced. They are advanced submarines specially developed for underwater combat. Compared with the current

Ordinary submarines are less likely to be discovered by the enemy.

As long as we send out submarine troops, we can completely take them by surprise and inflict heavy damage on the Japanese."

"However, the submarine force has only been established for half a year. With insufficient training, can it succeed?" Zhao Zhenfan said with a worried look.

"The best training is actual combat. Without the baptism of actual combat, no arm or unit can truly grow, let alone become a true elite." Zhang Xinghan said: "We are doing it secretly, and the Japanese are doing it openly.

, we only need to patrol along our coastal waters. As long as the Japanese dare to come, we can wait and ambush them unexpectedly.

Moreover, the advanced performance of our submarines can make up for the lack of experience of our submarine force officers and soldiers to a certain extent.

Therefore, in this battle, we can send submarine troops to participate in the battle. Only with the combination of navy and air force can we truly effectively implement the blockade and prevent and sabotage the Japanese air raid on Nanjing."

"Well, what the manager said makes sense."

"Since you all have no objections, it's decided." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand and made the decision.

Everyone stood up and left one after another, and the order was quickly conveyed.

……………………

Nanjing City, official residence of the leader.

In Chairman Chiang's study, Dai Li, the big boss of the military command, was walking on thin ice and reporting to Chairman Chiang the urgent information that his subordinates had just received.

After listening to Dai Li’s report, Chairman Chiang became furious and cursed: “Niang Xipi, Niang Xipi, this Zhang Xinghan, he decided to send out planes to bomb Tokyo, the capital of the Japanese, without authorization, and now he has attracted the Japanese’s attention.

He cannot escape the blame for revenge!"

After a pause, Chairman Chiang said angrily: "These Japanese people are nothing. Zhang Xinghan bombed their Tokyo. Why don't they dare to bomb Jilin and Changchun, and in turn want to bomb my Nanjing?!"

Dai Li felt bitter in his heart. The Japanese were picking on the weak, but he naturally did not dare to say this clearly. He just followed Chairman Chiang's words and said: "Commissioner, Nanjing is our capital. The Japanese were bombed in order to cleanse Tokyo."

It’s a shame, and it’s reasonable to target Nanjing for revenge.”

"Nang Xipi, order the troops stationed in Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Yangzhou, Zhenjiang and other places to pay close attention to air defense, just in case!" Chairman Chiang said helplessly and angrily.

"Commissioner, in addition to these, I would like to suggest that for your own safety, you also go to the Yuhuatai air defense base to take shelter for the next two days." Dai Li said cautiously.

Chairman Jiang wanted to say no, but after thinking about it, he sighed and nodded: "Shihe, please make arrangements. I will be working at Yuhuatai in the next few days."

"Yes, let's take a seat." Wang Shihe, who was waiting by the side, immediately nodded and responded.

After Wang Shihe left, Chairman Jiang stared at Dai Li with dagger-like eyes and asked: "Yunong, how did you do what I asked you last time? When will you be able to get rid of Zhang Xinghan?"

Now Chairman Chiang hates Zhang Xinghan and wants to get rid of him. Not only Zhang Xinghan has stolen his limelight as a leader.

But Chairman Chiang knew that as soon as Zhang Xinghan died, the powerful Northeast Frontier Defense Force would surely collapse, so he could immediately take over. As long as he mastered this force with advanced weapons, well-equipped combat capabilities, there would be no more people in the whole of China.
