    The gang is actually a group of people who are engaged in freight transportation.

    Because of the bullying of the capitalists, they began to spontaneously unite to resist the bullying of the capitalists, and then elected a gang leader to lead everyone to work together on freight transportation.

    In this period, whoever had the most sailors and the most ships had the most ships belonging to gangs.

    "No one in the whole Jiangnan has ships and sailors as good as the gang."

    And this time, it was this gang that assisted the Eighty-Eighth Group Army in crossing the river and providing logistics transportation.

    I have said before that the Jiangnan area is full of water systems and there are many lakes.

    In the absence of high-speed rail, highways, and poor road traffic conditions, the best mode of transportation is actually river transportation.

    The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal starts from Yangzhou, the starting point of the 88th Army, and passes through Zhenjiang, Danyang, Changzhou, Wuxi, Suzhou, Jiaxing, etc., and finally reaches Hangzhou, and there are countless rivers in between.  It can be said that in the current Jiangnan area, river transportation is a good choice.

    The current gang leader, Chen Yazhi, is a native of Shanghai and has been involved in various situations since he was a child.

    When he grew up, because of his eloquence, wide connections, and loyalty to the world, plus many times he stood up for the sailors, etc., he finally started to form a gang at the request of everyone.

    After the formation of the gang, because they networked with most of the sailors at various ports and docks at that time, many jobs were taken over by the gang.

    So it started to gradually grow and develop.

    So to this day, the Zuobang has thousands of ships of various sizes, and has nearly 100,000 sailors under it, taking over most of the business in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.  Become another organization as famous as the Ax Gang.

    ?¡­

    "Gang Leader Chen, I would like to thank you all for joining the gang this time! Don't worry, after this operation is over, I won't treat your brothers who are gang members ill. I also know that the brothers who joined the gang were all born in poverty. I won't give you anything either.  If you come here for free, I will pay you ten kilograms of gold at that time. In addition, I also know that as the war continues, the price of food is still rising. I will provide you with five million kilograms of food. Thank you to the brothers who are gang members for helping us!"

    Zhou Weiguo knew that in normal times, food might not be that valuable, but in troubled times, especially during the Anti-Japanese War.  Food is very new, especially with the depreciation of legal currency.  If you give him 100,000 catties of grain and 200,000 French currency, he will definitely want the grain.

    Food is still appreciating, while legal currency is depreciating.  Anyone who is not a fool knows how to choose.

    So when Chen Yazhi heard Zhou Weiguo's words, his eyes widened immediately.

    "Thank you Mr. Zhou. Originally, as long as you are a Chinese, you shouldn't ask for these things when fighting against Japanese invaders. But since Mr. Zhou has given you such a large sum of money, Mr. Chen will be looking down on Mr. Zhou if you don't accept it. From now on, as long as Mr. Zhou  Wherever Chen is needed, just make a sound. I, Chen, have nothing but many ships and people! As long as we are engaged in transportation, in this Jiangnan generation, there is no place that Chen cannot transport!  "

    Chen Yazhi slapped his chest loudly, and his quackery was like slipping away.

    "Haha! Don't worry, Gang Leader Chen! If anything happens to me in the future, I will definitely ask you to help me!"

    Zhou Weiguo said with a smile.

    "Okay! Then Mr. Chen will organize the brothers to transport weapons and ammunition for the 88th Army!"

    After Chen Yazhi clasped his fists and said that, he took his people and hurriedly transported weapons and ammunition.

    After Chen Yazhi walked away, Yang Jie stepped forward and said with a smile: "Chief Commander, if you give them so many things this time, it is estimated that the logistics and transportation of our Eighty-Eighth Group Army's operations in the Jiangnan area will be guaranteed in the future. I will also listen to you."  I said that they started to form in the 20s. It has been more than ten years now. Their subordinates are huge. "

    Yang Jie walked over and said with a smile.

    "Yeah! Not bad! Our Eighty-Eighth Group Army has high firepower and high logistics requirements. I used to think that as our troops expand, the logistics requirements will also increase in the future. Fighting in this Jiangnan area,  How to improve our logistical supply capabilities. This time the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Consortium contacted me, which gave me a reminder. Logistics transportation does not have to be by land, we can also use waterways!"

    Zhou Weiguo paused for a moment when he said this, and then said to Yang Jie: "Mr. Soseki, go and give the 132nd Division an order to immediately attack the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal in the Zhenjiang section and protect the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. Chen Yazhi's gang can completely save us.  A lot of time.¡±

    "Okay! I'll give the order right away!"

      As gangster ships began to transport ammunition supplies to the Eighty-eighth Army on a large scale, the role of the pontoon bridge was limited to passing troops.

    Logistics supplies no longer pass through the pontoon bridge, and the troops can cross the Yangtze River faster and faster. Especially after the second, third and fourth pontoon bridges are erected, the troops can cross the Yangtze River even faster.  .

    By four o'clock in the afternoon, the troops crossing the Yangtze River already included two infantry regiments of the 132nd Division, the 134th Division, and the 135th Division.

    At this time, the 132nd Division had taken control of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal in the east of Zhenjiang according to Zhou Weiguo's order, while the 134th Division was seizing the time to attack the Zhenjiang city wall, and the two infantry regiments of the 135th Division were clearing out the remaining Japs outside the North City of Zhenjiang.  

    "Your Excellency, Division Commander, the 23rd Regiment has lost more than half, please repair it!"

    The Chief of Staff of the Sixth Division, Shimono Dazuo, walked up to Tani Shoufu with his command knife in hand and said.

    "More than half of the losses? Is the Eighty-Eighth Group Army really that strong? In just one day, the 13th Regiment has more than 3,800 people, and more than 3,500 people have been lost in the battle. Only the regiment headquarters and the flag guard are left.  The squadron successfully retreated, but now the 23rd Regiment has lost more than half?"

    Seeing Tani Shoufu's suspicious eyes, Shimono Kazuhiro said urgently: "The firepower of the Eighty-Eighth Group Army was too fierce, and our soldiers were completely suppressed. Moreover, their mortars and grenade launchers were still firing.  They are firing artillery shells. Moreover, their bombers are also constantly bombing the city wall. Now two or three sections of the city wall have been blown down! If this continues, I am afraid they will break into the city tomorrow morning!"

    "Order the 45th Regiment to take over the 23rd Regiment and let the 23rd Regiment go for repairs. In addition, send electricity to Commander Yan Junliu, hoping that our flying division can suppress the 88th Group Army's air force."

    "Ha~yi~ I'll go and deliver the order right away!"

    ?¡­

    At this time, outside Zhenjiang City, the commander of the 134th Division Zhang Zongling and the deputy commander Zhou Tianyi were observing the offensive on the front line.

    "Tianyi, when do you think we can break into the city?"

    Zhang Zongling put down the telescope in his hand, looked at Zhou Tianyi next to him and asked with a smile.

    "It should be soon. Two or three sections of the city wall have been blown down now. If we can expand one section of the wall to a gap of more than 100 meters, our troops can penetrate from there. But now these gaps are too narrow.  It¡¯s not conducive to the troops¡¯ attack!¡±

    Zhou Tianyi has been tempered by so many wars, and Zhang Zongling has also been teaching him this knowledge during these times. Zhou Tianyi has also begun to grow up.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
