When Agent Jiang got the news, he immediately recruited Dai Li, Bai Chongxi and others for discussion. Agent Jiang took the intelligence and handed it to several people and said, "Look, do you think this information is true or false? If it is true, then what exactly is the Japanese army doing?"
Do you want to attack Jiangxi or Xiangyang?"
Bai Chongxi looked at it and said in disbelief, "Is the authenticity of this information reliable?"
Agent Jiang looked at Dai Li, who immediately said, "Of course it is reliable. This is information obtained by our people who have been trained in Guangzhou, and I have also had it confirmed by others that the Japanese army is reinforcing the arsenal in Jiujiang recently. There should be a large number of
The supplies are arriving.”
Bai Chongxi smiled and said, "Committee Chairman, I'm humble and humble, I'm afraid this Japanese army is killing two birds with one stone."
Agent Jiang snorted and asked, "How do you say this?"
Bai Chongxi said, "Look, Chairman, according to the battle reports we got, Zhang Zizhong and others fought well on the Xiangyang front line. Although the Japanese army relied on aircraft and artillery to continuously attack, there is no sign of Xiangyang being lost so far. In this regard, we
After many rounds of training, the army's combat effectiveness has been greatly improved. On the other hand, it is because our army has deployed heavy troops in Xiangyang. More than four armies have gathered here, and more than 200,000 national troops have been building city defenses for a year.
, the Japanese army may have to pay a high price to win, so the Japanese army wants to increase its troops in Jiujiang to attract the attention of our army's strategic forces. After all, if our army's strategic support forces are also invested in Xiangyang, the Japanese army will have the best chance.
The ending is to return to the starting point.”
Bai Chongxi pointed to Jiangsu and said, "In addition, in northern Jiangsu, the battle between our army and the New Fourth Army has lasted for more than a week. No matter how slow the Japanese army's response is, they should have reacted by now. I am afraid that the Japanese army also has the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos on the battlefield behind our enemy lines."
, attack Nanchang when they cannot contain their troops and transportation lines, so I think this is real but imaginary, imaginary but real. If we are well prepared, the Japanese army may not attack and will only use it to attract us.
If our army is not prepared, I am afraid that the Japanese army will march south and take Nanchang directly."
After listening, Agent Jiang nodded in admiration and asked the others, "What do you think?"
He Yingqin smiled and said, "Jiansheng's idea is very original. I have no objections."
Jiang's intermediary immediately said, "Order! Gu Zhutong immediately reorganized the defense of Nanchang and transferred the youth army to Jing'an. The Wuning generation was on standby to prepare for defensive operations against Japan. In addition, he telegraphed to Han Deqin to solve the problem of northern Jiangsu as soon as possible and not because of the Soviet Union.
The northern corner interferes with the overall situation of the country. In addition, the military command and the central command must continue to strengthen intelligence collection, especially whether the Japanese army is feigning a feint attack or a main attack in Jiujiang, they must find out clearly!"
Bai Chongxi asked, "Now there are various signs that the Japanese army is going to launch another round of offensive. Should we make peace with the Red Party first?"
Agent Jiang shook his head and said, "The Red Party has always claimed to be the vanguard of the Anti-Japanese War since July 7th. This time I want to use facts to prove that without the Red Party, our National Army can resist the Japanese and win the war!! Zhang Zizhong fought it.
Isn’t that right? In addition, Northern Jiangsu is involved in the overall post-war situation, and we must not make any mistakes. Don’t worry, as long as we deal with it carefully, I don’t think anything will happen.”
When Bai Chongxi saw what Agent Jiang said, he could only nod his head in agreement.
——Taizhou
After Ye Ting and Xiang Ying received instructions from Yan'an, they immediately led troops led by Zhang Yunyi, Liu Zhen and others across the river to attack Taizhou. The two armies clashed fiercely at the gate of Taizhou City. Zhang Yunyi came all the way and could not attack for a long time, but after being captured
After some prisoners learned some of the situation, Liu Dake, Ye Ting and others decided to change their approach.
At this time, it was raining lightly in the sky. The rainwater and blood mixed together and slowly flowed to the low-lying areas. Some potholes had turned into lakes of red blood, making the battlefield particularly desolate. At this time, there were dozens or hundreds of large speakers being blown away.
After pulling it out, I saw these big loudspeakers facing Taizhou City, being adjusted. Soldiers who were selected one after another, knew Chinese characters, and had loud throats came forward, holding manuscripts and preparing to read.
"Brothers of the Taizhou Army, stop fighting. You have all been fooled. You have been fooled by Li Changjiang. Li Changjiang defected to Japan and betrayed his country. He deceived Commander Li and led the Japanese army to attack our New Fourth Army's troops in Huangqiao.
He led the Japanese army to massacre the people in Huangqiao. When others questioned him, he asked our Chinese brothers to pay for it with their lives. Brothers of the Taizhou Army, if you don't believe it, you can go to Li Changjiang's Ji Gang's army and ask.
Ask, go take a look and see if there are any Japanese there. You can ask other soldiers with conscience whether Li Changjiang asked our brothers to die for the Japanese!
Brothers of the Taizhou Army, we all took up swords and guns and left our hometown to fight against Japan. But now Li Changjiang wants to use your lives to pave the way for him to get promoted and get rich. We are all Chinese, we Chinese
If we don’t attack the Chinese, brothers of the Taizhou Army, let us remain open to the outside world, defeat the Japanese invaders, and defeat the traitor Li Changjiang!!”
Loud voices kept wandering around Taizhou City. Some artillery shells filled with leaflets fell into the Taizhou Army. Some people who knew how to read were helping people around to read. The propaganda that the Taizhou Army had always received was the New Fourth Army and the Taizhou Army.
They are good friends, and they are both teams that fight against Japanese invaders. Now that there is a sudden battle with the New Fourth Army, many people can't get over that hurdle in their hearts. Now it's better. If you have the New Fourth Army, if you ask each other, you will get Huangqiao immediately.
There was indeed news that a murder had occurred. Immediately, some impatient people took guns and went to Li Changjiang to explain that there were still people who wanted to save Li Mingyang. For a while, the Taizhou army was in a state of confusion.
In the headquarters, Li Mingyang read the leaflets and listened to the radio. He was so angry that he shouted, "Come here! Go and call Deputy Commander Li."
After a while, the guards came to report and said, "Commander, Deputy Commander Li said that the New Fourth Army will launch an attack at any time and cannot leave the front line, so he ran to the army."
Li Mingyang asked, "Whose army is that?"
The guard thought for a moment and said, "They should be Ji Gang's troops."
Li Mingyang stamped his feet and said, "It seems that this matter is very close, otherwise Li Changjiang would not run away like this. Come here, gather all the soldiers and horses, and we will go to Li Changjiang immediately to explain everything."
In Ji Gang's barracks, Li Changjiang walked around like an ant on a hot pot. Ji Gang felt dizzy looking at him. Ji Gang waved his hand and said, "Commander Li, why are you in such a hurry? This New Fourth Army has no evidence. Who will?"
Believe it?"
Li Changjiang said angrily, "Evidence? Do those big-headed soldiers need evidence? Who knows which of them will take advantage of this matter? I don't dare to go out now. Isn't it all your fault? I can't control the Japanese's bestiality. This happened."
Kind of something."
Just as he was talking, a guard came in and said, "Report, Commander Li is outside and wants Deputy Commander Li to go out and see him immediately."
Ji Gang looked at the trembling Li Changjiang and said, "General Li, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
Li Changjiang thought for a while and said, "No, my eldest brother will never accept Japanese in his army. In this way, you leave Taizhou with those Japanese, and I will go see my eldest brother."
Ji Gang stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "General Li, if you go out, you will be in danger."
Li Changjiang stamped his feet and said, "Then what else do you think I can do?"
Ji Gang chuckled and said, "General Li, it's easy to handle. Aren't we still here? As long as you say a word, we will change the world of Taizhou City."
Li Changjiang said angrily, "I said, I will never betray my elder brother."
Mr. Rong walked in at this time and said, "General Li, I'm afraid you have misunderstood. We didn't ask you to betray your elder brother. Can you convince Commander Li to come and enjoy the glory and wealth together?"
Li Changjiang snorted and was about to leave.
Mr. Rong said loudly, "The Imperial Army has sent a division close to Taizhou. If you think you can survive the attack between the New Fourth Army and the Imperial Army, you can leave."
When he heard about a division, Li Changjiang's first reaction was that he didn't believe it. You must know that the Japanese army rarely dispatched a regiment to raid northern Jiangsu in peacetime, let alone a division. But he looked serious
Mr. Rong, Li Changjiang said angrily, "What do you want to do?"
Mr. Rong sighed, "General Li, you also know that Ji Gang used to be just a regiment commander, but now he is already an army commander. If you are willing to join Mr. Wang, you cannot escape the position of commander of a group army. The New Fourth Army is
The imperial army is a serious concern. Now that there is an opportunity, the imperial army will not let it go. If you are willing to cooperate with us, this Taizhou can still be yours, Li Changjiang. If you don't cooperate, haha, you don't really think that this little
Is Taizhou more difficult to attack than Nanjing, Shanghai, and Wuhan?"
Li Changjiang hesitated, and Mr. Rong continued, "How about this? When the Imperial Army and the New Fourth Army fight, you advise Li Mingyang to stay still with you. No matter who wins or loses between the New Fourth Army and the Imperial Army, you will all
It’s time to wait for work. If the imperial army loses, pretend I didn’t hear what I just said. If the imperial army wins, I can also give advice to Commander Nishio and let you separate one side. How about it? This condition is sincere enough, right?"
Li Changjiang clasped his hands behind his back and walked for a while before saying, "It's not easy to convince my eldest brother. In this case, I'll go see my eldest brother. No matter what, I still listen to my eldest brother. Ji Gang, please let my eldest brother in."
Li Mingyang couldn't wait left or right. He stamped his feet angrily and was about to rush in. At this time, the sound of an engine attracted his attention. He looked up and saw only two Japanese aircraft.
A reconnaissance plane flew over. Li Mingyang frowned and immediately pointed at Li Changjiang's command post and said, "Come here, rush for me!"
"Commander Li, our commander invites you to come in." A guard of Li Changjiang came out and said.
Li Mingyang snorted and said, "I want to see what Li Changjiang wants to do!" As he said that, Li Mingyang led the people in aggressively.
When the soldiers surrounding the outside saw Li Mingyang entering, they couldn't help but stand on tiptoe, wondering what would happen inside. One hour passed, two hours passed, the sky gradually darkened, and Li Mingyang never came out.
, everyone became anxious. Many officers and troops loyal to Li Mingyang gathered outside Li Changjiang's headquarters and shouted for Li Changjiang to surrender. The shouts of the New Fourth Army outside the city increased the chaos in Taizhou City.
Three points.
——Nantong
"Hey, what did you say? Chen Yi's troops passed through your flank? Your regiment has been surrounded? How is that possible? There is another regiment of loyal soldiers on your flank!" Han Deqin said in disbelief as he listened to the phone.
"What? The loyal army is missing??"
Han Deqin simply felt like he was dreaming. While letting his troops continue to hold on, he tried to call the headquarters of the Zhongyi Army. However, no one answered the phone for a long time. Han Deqin held his hat and shouted, "Come here, follow me to find Hu Chuankui."
, what the hell is that bastard doing?"
A group of people rode fast horses and were escorted by guards to the headquarters of the Zhongyi Army. As soon as Han Deqin entered, he shouted, "Hu Chuankui! Come out! What a good thing you have done!"
After calling for a long time, no one came out of the headquarters. We could only see people peeking outside from time to time.
Han Deqin shook his head, walked in, and shouted, "Hu Chuankui, come out!!" After shouting, Han Deqin was surprised to find that there was no sign of Hu Chuankui in the headquarters. Looking at the people again, he found that these people were surrounding him.
Take a look around and you'll know what we were just discussing.
Han Deqin asked, "Where is Hu Chuankui?"
An officer replied, "Our commander is not here."
Han Deqin looked outside and asked, "Where are the others?"
Everyone lowered their heads and stopped talking.
Han Deqin became anxious when he saw it. He grabbed an officer and shouted, "In the name of the Chairman of Jiangsu Province, I order you to tell me where Hu Chuankui is?"
Behind Han Deqin, more than a dozen guns were loaded and pointed at the officer.
The officer stammered, "Report...report to Chairman Han, our commander has returned to his hometown."
Han Deqin couldn't believe his ears. He pointed to the headquarters where the sound of gunfire could still be vaguely heard in the distance and said, "Go back to your hometown? We are at war here! Which hometown is he going back to at this time?"
The officer said, "Our commander has just received the news that the mayor of our commander's hometown has betrayed the country and even beat our commander's wife. Why don't we go to save people?"
Han Deqin covered his head and felt his head hurt badly. He asked everyone, "So who is your current commander?"
The officer said, "The commander said that if there is any matter, we will discuss it together and resolve it. If there is any dispute, the suggestion of the majority after the vote will prevail."
Han Deqin no longer cared about what was going on and said, "You immediately obey my command and surround and suppress the New Fourth Army headquarters. As long as you can catch Chen Yi, I guarantee that you will be promoted and make a fortune!"
"This..." The people of the Zhongyi Army are in a bit of a dilemma. This Zhongyi Army is Dai Li's army, and Han Deqin is Gu Zhutong's faction. If they listen to this, no one can imagine what will happen next.
Han Deqin saw this and knew why. He stamped his feet and said, "Then I will give you some suggestions and you can implement them. That's all."
Everyone listened and thought this was okay, and nodded in agreement.
Han Deqin covered his face, not knowing what to say. He cursed Hu Chuankui to death in his heart, and decided to send electricity back home and sue Hu Chuankui severely.
