After hearing what Agent Jiang said, Chen Brai immediately knew that Agent Jiang had made up his mind. He nodded and walked out. After a while, Bai Chongxi, He Yingqin, Chen Cheng and others walked in together. Agent Jiang saw a few people nodding and said, "You guys can do this."
Do you know everything?"
Bai Chongxi nodded and said, "We all already know that the Japanese army is coming fiercely, and it is difficult for Zhang Zizhong to resist it. I suggest we work step by step, resist step by step, and gradually pull the front line to Xiangyang. Xiangyang is a thousand-year-old city and a strategic location. In the past, a million-dollar army was also
If you fall into disgrace here, you can fight."
He Yingqin nodded and said, "I agree. Now the Japanese army is besieging Zaoyang. Zaoyang is the gateway to Xiangyang. We don't seek victory, but we can't be defeated, otherwise it will have a great impact on the battle of Xiangyang. So I suggest that Dahongshan's
The 29th Army and the 33rd Army went to rescue Zaoyang, then the 31st Army and the 2nd Army defended Xiangyang, and finally the 18th Army and the Jiang Defense Force guarded the back road to ensure safety."
Agent Jiang nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it according to your opinions. There is another matter today, which is the matter in Northern Jiangsu. What do you think?"
Several people looked at each other, and Chen Cheng asked, "What does the appointment mean?"
Jiang Jie said, "The New Fourth Army has been disobeying military orders for a long time. This time Han Deqin did a good job and successfully repulsed the New Fourth Army who violated military discipline and seized the towns. Now Chen Yi and Su Yu's troops are huddled in the west of Nantong, unable to move. I originally wanted to use Chen Yi's troops to
In order to gain leverage, we came to negotiate with Yan'an and forced it to transfer all the New Fourth Army to Hebei. But now it seems that Yan'an has already known the news that the Japanese army is going to attack Xiangyang, and we are ready to go and ask them. In this way, the New Fourth Army will definitely move again.
There is no law of the country, so I decided to further attack the New Fourth Army and let Yan'an know our determination."
Bai Chongxi and others understood, and He Yingqin said, "Then let Han Deqin, Taizhou Army, and Zhongyi Army attack Chen Yi's Department together. Chen Yi's Department is now cut off from the Jiangnan New Fourth Army Headquarters and cannot get supplies. It is a good time to annihilate it."
Bai Chongxi added, "I don't think the Taizhou Army can move. I think the New Fourth Army will definitely rescue Chen Yi's troops. If I were Ye Ting, I would definitely attack Taizhou. Firstly, I would avenge the Taizhou Army's sneak attack on the back. Secondly, as long as Taizhou is captured, Chen Yi will
Together with the New Fourth Army, we can attack Han Deqin's department in the middle, and in the end we can even sweep Jiangbei."
Agent Jiang snorted, "I won't give them a chance. You should draft an attack plan immediately. You will definitely not let Yan'an's plan succeed!"
--Nanjing
Nakanishi Gong looked at the secret room opposite him, feeling extremely anxious. He knew that the most important information was sent out from that room, but he had no way or reason to get even closer there. The people there were not even close.
Unable to bring out a single piece of paper, Zhongxi Gong returned to the streets of Nanjing without success again. The traces of the massacre two years ago had long been washed away. Zhongxi Gong came to the dock and watched ship after ship.
Cargo ships were coming and going, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He quickly walked to the teahouse next to the dock where the coolies gathered, and sat down to listen to the coolies talking and chatting.
"During this period, cargo ships have stopped stopping in Nanjing. They are going straight down the river one by one. As a result, there has been no business recently."
"Isn't that right? I heard that they are all Japanese ships. Didn't they say that Xiangyang is fighting again? They are probably sending ammunition supplies."
After hearing this, Zhongxi Gong felt reassured. After everyone dispersed, he returned to his office, picked up the phone and started calling.
"Hey, this is Mr. Sakamoto from the Shipping Bureau. I am Nakanishi Kou. Yes, there is one thing. I suspect that our ship has been used by the Red Party members to smuggle supplies. I will go to your place tomorrow to check the shipping.
Record, please prepare."
After making the call, Zhongxi Gong squinted his eyes and slightly curved the corners of his mouth.
The next day, dozens of people in the shipping bureau, led by Isao Nakanishi, were checking the account books. A middle-aged Japanese man wearing glasses handed a cigarette to Nakanishi Isao and said, "What's going on? I suddenly want to check the shipping."
?”
Zhongxi Gong smiled and said, "Didn't the New Fourth Army and the Chongqing Army have a fight in Jiangbei? I was wondering how the New Fourth Army crossed the river. I suspected that there were people in our ships who helped them, so I came to check.
Check it out, don’t worry.”
Osaka nodded in agreement, expressing his understanding.
After a while, the compiled list was handed over to Nakanishi Gong. Nakanishi Gong looked at it and asked, "Is all our shipping for the past six months here?"
Osaka nodded and said, "As long as the civilian ships that pass through Nanjing are all here, but you have to stop. Although our Nanjing is an important port, there are still many ships that are our military ships. These are the ones I have here."
If you don’t care, you can only go to the military headquarters to check.”
Nakanishi Gong asked "Is it too much?"
Osaka nodded with his eyes closed and said, "There are quite a few. There are many going to Wuhan, and there are also many going to Yueyang. Recently, there have been more and more."
"Yueyang?" Zhongxi Gong's heart skipped a beat, and he continued calmly, "There is no need to check the warships. I really don't believe that tens of thousands of the New Fourth Army will use our Japanese warships to cross the river, eh? You mean Yueyang
I just discovered that there have been a lot of ships going there recently to transport rice. It seems that there is a shortage of rice there. What do you think? Are you interested in buying some rice and selling it there? Maybe you can make a profit.
Not bad?"
Osaka waved his hand and smiled and said, "Forget it. Speaking of rice, the price of domestic food has risen sharply recently. People in my family have written to me complaining about this matter. I hope I can transport more rice back."
Zhongxi Gong chatted with him for a few more words and then returned to the team.
That night, a confidential telegram reached Yan'an, with only six words - pay attention to Yueyang and Changsha!
——Yan'an
Li Kenong took the telegram and hurried to the deciphering center, nicknamed the Spider Cave, and said to Turing and several other Chinese mathematicians who were calculating, "Everyone, a confidential information shows that the Japanese army may have taken action against Changsha recently. Please
Let’s all work hard in this regard.”
"Changsha??Changsha??" A lame professor murmured, "This reminds me of a word I deciphered a few days ago. At that time, we thought we deciphered it wrong, but if it is Changsha, we can connect it in series.
Woke up."
Li Kenong quickly asked, "What information?"
The professor immediately said to Turing and others, "Let's go find that file immediately. I remember it is No. 5438. We will decipher it immediately according to the original ideas."
Li Kenong watched nervously as Turing and others used machines to begin deciphering. Soon, a telegram was deciphered.
The professor laughed and said, "At that time, one of our team members deciphered a word that appeared frequently in it as yellow species. We still thought it was strange at the time, what on earth was this? But now we understand, this is not yellow species, this is Huang Zhong
!!The Japanese have taken our famous generals from the Three Kingdoms as their code names."
Li Kenong looked at the deciphered intelligence, which read, "On March 17, three Chinese regiments settled in Changsha." He suddenly laughed and said, "Okay, okay, finally succeeded. I will continue to strengthen the deciphering force immediately. I will go immediately."
Report to the Chairman.”
Li Kenong quickly came to Chairman Mao's cave dwelling with the information. Chairman Mao saw the information and quickly found Zhou Guansheng and Mr. Zhu to study it together.
Mr. Zhu looked at it and said, "If the enemy's target is Changsha, then Xiangyang is just a feint attack. But according to the current intelligence, the Japanese attack is extremely fierce. General Zhang Zizhong was forced to move his headquarters forward to boost morale. It can be seen that the Japanese army
attack power."
Zhou Guansheng pointed to Northern Jiangsu and said, "There is also here. The Japanese army has arranged so many actions here. They definitely don't just want us and the National Army to fight each other. They will definitely seize this guerrilla zone in Northern Jiangsu."
Chairman Mao thought for a while and finally made up his mind and said: "We can only guess three or four points after guessing. I think we should use a trick to scare the snake and let Liu, Ye and Xiang organize the New Fourth Army to cross the Yangtze River and attack Taizhou.
The momentum must be loud and the attack soft, so as to scare the snake out of the Japanese army!"
——Taizhou
Li Mingyang and Li Changjiang looked at the map with a bitter look on their face. Li Mingyang sighed, "Did you see it? The New Fourth Army is going all out. There are 40,000 to 50,000 people on the other side of the Yangtze River. Even the Japanese are hiding as if they can't see them. Han
That guy from Deloitte and the Zhongyi Army went to attack Chen Yi, leaving us here to withstand the thunder, and now the losses will be huge."
Li Changjiang glanced at Ji Gang behind him, raised his hands and said, "Brother, I caused this trouble. Naturally, I have to deal with it. Let the younger brother fight. If I die, the eldest brother can negotiate peace with the New Fourth Army."
Li Mingyang glared at him and cursed, "What's a tiger? We are brothers, how could I do such a thing? Let me tell you, the New Fourth Army came to look for me a long time ago, and I blocked it back. I still said the same thing
Now that we have fought, don’t regret it! Order the troops to defend Taizhou!!"
After Ji Gang waited for the meeting to end, he immediately ran to the restaurant to find Mr. Rong. When he explained what had happened at the meeting, Mr. Rong clapped his hands and said, "Great, Commander Xiwei just hopes that the New Fourth Army can have a big fight with the National Army. Now there are
Chen Yi and Han Deqin are fighting to the death, and the Taizhou Army and Ye Ting are fighting here. This is our opportunity. I will report to Nanjing immediately. You must encourage Li Changjiang to fight to the end. No matter what the price, as long as the New Fourth Army and the National Army do not withdraw their troops,
The imperial army will have a chance to catch them all!!"
--Nanjing
"Okay! Wow!!" Itagaki Seishiro took the telegram and excitedly walked around the headquarters. Nishio looked at him and laughed and said, "Looking at your excitement, isn't this victory yet?"
Itagaki Seishiro chuckled and said, "As long as there is a war between Red and White, even if all our other plans fail, I think it is worth it. As long as China is not united, it will be a piece of loose sand. It is too easy to take it away. I think we can start
Other plans.”
Nishio nodded and said, "Your courage is really shocking. Who can believe that in Xiangyang, we actually only dispatched one division, and the rest were Imperial Alliance troops. We used 30,000 to 40,000 people to attack 3 to 40,000 people."
Man, only you dare to do this kind of play."
Itagaki Seishiro touched his nose and said, "The Chinese people have a sense of fear towards our imperial army. As long as they are bombarded or flanked, they will retreat. They don't even think about how many people we have. I want to see it. Wait for us."
After Jiujiang and Northern Jiangsu start moving together, how will Chiang Kai-shek react?"
Nishio hummed and said, "If I were Jiang Jie, looking at the battle on this line, I would probably be extremely hopeful of winning."
Itagaki Seishiro pointed at Yue Yang and smiled and said, "Then we will hand the victory to him, and then take it back fiercely! Let him feel what despair means!"
——Chongqing
"Stop the civil war! Unify against the outside world! Stop the civil war! Unify against the outside world!!"
Amid the loud shouts, a car drove slowly. Song Qingling looked at the students and shook his head and said to He Xiangning next to him, "Mr. He, listen to the voices of the masses. Jiang Jie insists on going his own way. Now there is a bloody battle in Xiangyang. He
But they launched an attack on the New Fourth Army in Jiangsu, and the battlefield behind enemy lines that could have contained the Japanese logistics line became a place where we killed each other. This is simply ridiculous!!"
He Xiangning, who is over 60 years old, nodded and said, "We must unite. We must mobilize all the central forces to force Chiang Kai-shek to unite the Red Party to resist Japan."
Song Meiling nodded in agreement, and sighed, "I just hope nothing happens to Xiangyang."
Just as she was talking, Soong Meiling suddenly saw the parade suddenly in chaos, and then heard a series of sirens. Soong Meiling's driver's face changed and said, "Mr. Song, this is a Japanese plane that is about to launch an air strike. We must hurry up."
leave here."
Song Meiling nodded and said, "Okay, let's leave immediately." As she said that, Song Meiling rolled down the window and looked around. She only saw dazzling red lanterns hanging high, and looked at the signal of five lanterns.
, Song Meiling took a breath and said, "This is actually the highest level of alarm. How many planes did the Japanese army dispatch?"
In the sky, a formation of thirty or forty Japanese planes was rushing toward Chongqing. However, the Chongqing airport had less than ten fighter planes at this time. The Chongqing government did not have many fighter planes in the first place, so they often flew wherever there was need.
Wherever they were, the war broke out in Xiangyang at this time, and most of Chongqing's maneuverable fighter planes flew to Xiangyang to assist in the war. There were only a few pitiful fighters here, including even training aircraft.
The Japanese bombers were so big that machine guns often only hit them one by one, and could not really knock them down. Although the Chongqing air force officers tried their best to fight, they could not stop the behemoth-like fleet. Countless bombs fell on Chongqing.
Bricks, tiles, wood and corpses were flying everywhere on the streets, and the thick black smoke obscured the sun. It was heartbreaking to see.
On the same day, a news reached Chongqing through the military system. Okamura Neiji gathered more than four divisions and 200,000 Japanese and puppet troops in the Jiujiang area, preparing to launch an attack on Nanchang.
