In other words, they are taking advantage of the negotiation opportunity to make small moves secretly.
For example, reinforce more troops.
For example, put pressure on the Concession Industry Bureau to close the entrance to the concession.
For example, someone was sent to assassinate Zhang Yong...
The Japanese invaders need time.
The national army also needs time.
Reinforcements from both sides are on the way.
Now, the Songhu battlefield has not yet reached its peak state.
The situation will only boil over when the Japanese Tenth Army lands at Jinshanwei and the total strength of the Japanese invaders reaches its peak.
By then, the Chinese army will invest 700,000, the Japanese will invest 300,000, and both sides will invest nearly one million in total.
In the Asian battlefield, it can be said to be a unique war.
In the subsequent Battle of Wuhan, it seemed that the Chinese army did not invest so many troops.
There is no way, Huangpu Elite has basically been wiped out.
Arrange for people to connect.
A Japanese lieutenant was certainly not qualified to meet Zhang Yong.
Sending a battalion commander casually is already giving the other party a lot of face.
"Ceasefire?"
The information brought by the Japanese invaders surprised Zhang Yong.
I thought the Japanese invaders were here to persuade them to surrender. Unexpectedly, they actually negotiated a ceasefire.
The Japanese invaders proposed a temporary ceasefire for one week.
Bah! You really think I’m stupid!
Proposing a ceasefire at this time is a fool!
With the fighting style of the Sixth Division, how can it be possible to propose a ceasefire? Unless...
Decisions made by higher-level Japanese invaders.
This means that the Japanese invaders may have greater actions.
What action?
Temporarily abandon the Sihang Warehouse and instead attack other areas?
Luodian?
Zhang Yong's eyes flashed.
It is very possible that the Japanese invaders are targeting Luodian.
It is the strategic point of the entire battlefield. It maintains the lifeline of the passage between Suzhou and Songhu.
Once Luodian is lost, the Japanese invaders will cut off the connection between Suzhou and Songhu. Then they will go straight out of Jiading, Kunshan, and Suzhou and surround the entire Songhu battlefield.
A very insidious move.
The National Army Headquarters also knew about it. Therefore, they continued to invest troops in Luodian.
All three divisions of the 67th Army, which Zhang Yong was responsible for supervising, were deployed in Luodian. It is unclear what the current battle situation is.
Before more reinforcements arrived, Matsui Iwane probably wanted to concentrate his forces and capture Luodian.
Therefore, on the southern front, a temporary ceasefire proposal was temporarily proposed to confuse the national army.
At the same time, they are also secretly creating a separatist conspiracy.
It is impossible for him, Zhang Yong, to make up his mind about this kind of ceasefire. Otherwise, Chiang Kai-shek would definitely not like it.
Chiang Kai-shek didn't like his subordinates to take matters into their own hands.
How could someone who interferes with the placement of a machine gun allow one of your divisions to privately sign a ceasefire agreement with the Japanese invaders?
Just kidding!
Without thinking, I immediately picked up a new radio station.
This matter must be reported as soon as possible. He, Zhang Yong, will never take the blame.
Neither does Sun Yuanliang. He is also a smart man.
"Send a report to the Army Group Headquarters. Report the representatives sent by the Japanese invaders."
"good."
Sun Yuanliang went to draft the telegram himself.
Of course we don't dare to be careless about such an extremely sensitive matter.
As long as the telegram is sent, I will be fine.
Anyway, I'm just reporting this matter. I don't make any decisions, so I naturally have no responsibility.
"Order the troops and prepare to counterattack!"
"yes."
If you say you want to negotiate, then negotiate.
If you want to say ceasefire, then ceasefire.
Then wouldn’t I, Zhang Yong, be very shameless?
joke……
Now is my time to fight back!
Ordered all 75mm field guns to be pushed out.
Array.
Lock the target.
Then keep shooting.
"boom!"
"boom!"
The slightly silent battlefield immediately began to boil again.
Before, all the artillery fire of the Japanese invaders was overwhelming. Now, it is the turn of the Chinese army to be overwhelming.
Just fight!
Hit hard!
There are cannonballs!
Don't talk about one or two bases!
Shame on you!
Poor!
Come up with at least five bases!
Fight as fast as you can.
Fight as much as you can.
If you finish shooting all the cannonballs, you will be rewarded. If you don’t finish shooting, you will be criticized!
"boom……"
"boom……"
The entire battlefield was once again ablaze.
Just in time, it was the darkness before dawn. It was completely illuminated by the explosion of the artillery shell.
All 81mm mortars join the battle...
All 60mm mortars join the fight…
All grenade launchers...
Unfortunately, there are no large-caliber howitzers.
Intelligence showed that all the heavy artillery deployed by the Chinese army on the Songhu battlefield had been lost.
Whether it is 105 or 150, they almost no longer exist.
The tank force has also been almost depleted.
In other words, in future battles, don't expect heavy artillery or tank support.
The Air Force and so on have also moved on. Don't count on it.
Only infantry. Only light weapons.
We have already lost a lot in terms of comprehensive national strength. The final result is destined to be irreversible.
Strategically we have lost.
The only thing we can do is to make some tactical adjustments.
Reduce your own losses.
Increase the losses suffered by the Japanese invaders a little.
That's all.
Just in time, this Sixth Division, cripple it!
Even if you exchange ten artillery shells for one Japanese invader, you will still cripple it!
Ceasefire?
Call you locusts!
If you Locusts come to kneel down and beg for mercy in person, I can consider it...
Look up at the sky.
Carefully guard against the Japanese invaders' 105mm heavy artillery.
If the Japanese invaders' 105mm heavy artillery arrives, he will immediately turn around and run away.
result……
No response.
The Japanese heavy artillery made no move.
The Japanese invaders' forward positions were completely covered by artillery fire.
The red dots are constantly decreasing.
The Japanese invaders, who had just occupied the frontline, were sent to the Yingguo Shrine before they could gain a firm foothold.
"laugh!"
"laugh!"
Suddenly, a harsh sound came from the side.
I looked sideways and found that the barrel was boiling hot. So I brought cold water from the Suzhou River and poured it directly.
It was those 75mm field guns. The firing intensity was too high and the barrels smoked.
It's not red yet, but it's very hot.
When a bucket of cold water is poured down, a large amount of steam comes out.
Will the barrel be damaged?
Of course it will.
But it's not important.
The important thing is to keep firing.
On the battlefield, weapons are consumables.
Unless it is completely destroyed by the enemy, use it as soon as you can.
It’s something you hide away and reluctant to use. The end result is a waste of money.
Yamato Hotel is a typical example.
I had been reluctant to use it before, but in the end I had no choice but to die.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Those 25mm anti-tank guns were also put on the battlefield.
Fire at the ruins where the Japanese invaders are hiding. Fire repeatedly until all the ruins are cleared.
There is no discussion about blowing you up.
There are cannonballs anyway.
"Baga!"
"how so!"
"how so!"
Hisao Tani's eyes almost bulged out and his cheeks were twisted.
The ceasefire agreement from the dispatched army headquarters made him very angry. He would never agree to a ceasefire, even if it was temporary.
Even if the Chinese agreed, he would never agree unless he was dismissed from his post.
Unexpectedly, the Chinese people reacted even more violently.
Instead of agreeing, he launched a counterattack.
Ahhhh...
The Chinese seem to be angrier than him?
Baga!
Don’t know what’s good and what’s good!
We proposed a ceasefire agreement to give you face, but you still...
"Report……"
"explain!"
"..."
"explain!"
Hisao Tani's eyes flashed fiercely.
The communications staff officer was suddenly shocked and hurriedly lowered his head.
It's terrible...
"Baga! Say it!"
"Your Excellency, the division commander, Matsuno regiment reports that all Hamada regiments are in pieces..."
"Baga! Impossible!"
"Tie!"
The communications staff member bent over deeply and did not dare to raise his head.
I was afraid that the division commander would give me a big slap in the face.
The division commander in a rage would probably beat him until he lost his hearing on the spot. He would become deaf directly.
"Report……"
Another communications officer arrived.
I found that the division commander's face was livid. When he was furious, he hurriedly lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
"Baga! Say it!"
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, Nishitani Wing reports that Wing Commander Nishitani, Colonel Nishitani, was unfortunately seriously injured..."
"ah!"
Hisao Tani roared angrily.
Suddenly he drew his knife and split the table in front of him into two pieces.
"Crash..."
"Crash..."
The items on the table were scattered all over the floor.
Everyone around them lowered their heads and did not dare to express their anger.
Of course it is impossible for the division commander to kill them with a sword. However, a slap in the face is inevitable. The general likes to slap people too much.
"Fight back!"
"Fight back!"
Hisao Tani roared.
Like a mad beast, losing its mind.
"Hand-to-hand combat!"
"Hand-to-hand combat!"
He rushed out of the command post with his saber raised.
Other Japanese officers hurriedly followed.
…
"Ah sneeze!"
"Ah sneeze!"
Zhang Yong sneezed again and again.
The battlefield has nothing to do with him for the time being. He is taking some time off from his busy schedule.
It's dawn.
The battlefield is still boiling.
The small steamer brought another cargo full of ammunition.
Mainly artillery shells.
Consumed too quickly.
But it’s okay. It’s completely available.
There is even a certain amount of 81mm mortars in stock. They can be shipped.
Considering the actual situation on the battlefield, the 88th Division currently does not need mortar reinforcements. Its own weapons and equipment are sufficient.
As long as enough artillery shells are replenished, the 88th Division can still hold on for a while.
Even if Zhang Yong was not around, it would not be that easy for the Japanese invaders to capture the 88th Division.
Otherwise, the Japanese invaders would not propose a temporary ceasefire.
"I'll make a call."
"there."
"Thanks!"
Zhang Yong borrowed the phone number from the patrol room.
Call the Shanghai Station of the Fuxing Society Secret Service. Ask the station manager Jia Tengying.
No, the current webmaster is Yang Shanfu.
As a result, the call didn't go through.
Came back angrily.
"All calls outside have been cut off." Zhu Yuan explained slowly.
"I know." Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully.
Shanghai Beach is now a battlefield.
Since it is a battlefield, many basic services no longer exist.
Including transportation, communications, people's livelihood, education, etc., they are no longer able to operate normally. Quite a few people have been evacuated.
Suddenly his eyes flashed. The map indicated that there was a white dot approaching and there was a mark.
Check and find that it is Yang Zhi.
He immediately came to find Yang Zhi. Sure enough, it was him.
Show up.
"Yang Zhi!"
"Commissioner!"
Yang Zhi ran over immediately.
He just came to see Zhang Yong.
"Where's your uncle?"
"They've gone underground."
"So fast?"
"Be prepared early."
"oh."
Zhang Yong was about to speak but stopped.
At this moment, any intelligence agency is really weak.
For the fierce and bloody Songhu battlefield, the Fuxing Society Secret Service was not as effective as a division.
Intelligence is important.
But it is not the decisive factor.
It is incorrect to say that intelligence can determine the outcome of a war.
What ultimately determines the outcome of a war is comprehensive national strength. It is the combination of various resources.
The Germans were killed by their opponents using resources.
It's useless no matter how brave you are.
Others have several times more resources than you.
Whether it is human resources or natural resources.
"you……"
"Your Majesty has instructed us to continue fighting in the concession."
"good!"
Zhang Yong nodded.
He handed Yang Zhi a bag of francs, about 20,000 yuan.
He is now poor and only has money.
Yang Zhi and the others have no shortage of weapons and ammunition.
"Thanks……"
"Take your men and follow me!"
"good!"
Yang Zhi agreed immediately.
Wave behind you.
Of course he didn't fight alone. He also had five people with him.
These five people are all unfamiliar faces. This shows that the Fuxing Society's Secret Service is expanding very quickly, with many new people.
Maybe Boss Dai is already organizing the Loyalty and Salvation Army and meddling in military affairs.
Lead the way, turn into a narrow alley, and come to a hidden private house.
It's a two-story building. It looks ordinary on the outside, but there are three people inside. Each of them has a gun.
Not a red dot.
Not a yellow dot.
Don't know who he is.
However, there was a gold mark, so he was targeted by Zhang Yong.
No matter who you are, at this time, you all belong to me.
"Bang!"
Kick the door open with one kick.
Then tear gas was thrown in.
The three targets are all on the first floor. They are all served in one pot.
Followed by another flash bomb.
"Ahem!"
"Ahem!"
The three targets inside were immediately confused.
Subconsciously, I felt something bad. But I found that I couldn't breathe and couldn't open my eyes.
Even though he had a gun in his hand, he didn't know which way to shoot. As a result, before he had time to react, he was already being held down.
Hand over the gun.
Bundle.
Zhang Yong covered his nose and quickly looked for the gold mark.
I found it quickly. The result was a little shocking.
It was actually a rattan box full of gold bars.
They are all big gold bars.
There are at least a hundred or more.
Very heavy.
Good guy, this is a huge amount of money!
Who is the other party? Why are there so many gold bars?
Too lazy to ask.
It's probably related to the war.
The war outside was so fierce that of course the wealthy people moved away one after another.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.
The rich stayed away from the war.
There is no doubt that entering the concession is the safest.
After all, this is the territory of Europeans and Americans. The Japanese invaders did not dare to attack the concession.
As a result, people and wealth poured into the concession one after another.
The concession then began to develop abnormally.
"Who are you?"
"..."
Three people refused to answer.
Zhang Yong:???
Don't dare to answer?
Is that wealth of unknown origin?
Just right.
I confiscated it.
I originally wanted to write an IOU!
If the wealth is legitimate, make an IOU in the name of the Central Reserve Bank.
He promised to return them in full after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.
Interest can also be calculated.
Anyway, the war of resistance was victorious and he had already run away.
The remaining mess will be left to others to clean up. He doesn't care!
money?
Where did the money go?
Buy military rations, make military uniforms, treat the wounded...
They all have accounts that can be checked.
"Wait a minute..." Suddenly, a tied target said weakly, "Are you Commissioner Zhang Yong?"
"Yes." Zhang Yong nodded, "I am Zhang Yong. I am that Zhang Yong."
"Ah, we are actually here to find you."
"Looking for me?"
"Yes. We are here to find you. This box of gold is also dedicated to you."
