Two days later, the news of Xu Rui's death spread "appropriately" from the Dameishan base area. Of course, the first person to receive the news was Chairman Chiang who was far away in Chongqing.
"Talk about Shaxi?" Chairman Jiang looked at Dai Li in surprise, "Xu Rui was killed in battle?"
"Returning to the committee, yes." Dai Li bent slightly and whispered, "Inside reports from the New Fourth Army headquarters indicate that the main force of the Songhu Independent Regiment that broke out from Shanghai returned to the Dameishan base two days ago, but they stayed behind.
The artillery battalion in Shanghai, as well as Xu Rui and the Langya Brigade who later turned back to rescue people, have been unable to be contacted."
Chairman Chiang immediately cheered and said: "It's just that we can't contact him. Why do we say he was killed in action?"
Dai Li quickly said: "Commissioner, this is not the judgment of humble officials, but the judgment of the New Fourth Army. I believe that the New Fourth Army must have certain means. It is estimated that all the methods originally planned to contact Xu Rui have failed. This
In this case, there is only one possibility, and that is that all those who stayed in Shanghai have been killed."
Chairman Chiang instinctively doubted the authenticity of the news and asked: "How did you get the news? Didn't the Communist Party deliberately leak it to the Military Command Bureau and then use the Military Command Bureau to confuse the Japanese people?"
How else could I say that ginger is hotter than old? Chairman Chiang really guessed it right. This is indeed the case.
This news was really deliberately leaked to the informants of the Military Command Bureau by the senior officials of the New Fourth Army. Their intention was to indirectly leak the news of Xu Rui's death in the hands of the Military Command, because it would be too stupid to directly leak this news to the Japanese.
People will definitely not believe it. If it is leaked through military control, the credibility will be greatly increased.
As for how the New Fourth Army can be so sure that the Japanese will know the news from the military command? Aren't you stupid? Since the Sino-Japanese war broke out, the Japanese military special high school and the military command have penetrated a large number of insiders into each other, and these insiders are basically
Xanadu became a double agent, selling information to both sides.
Therefore, if the military commander knows about it, it means that the Japanese know about it.
That's why the top brass of the New Fourth Army "inadvertently" leaked the news to the military commander's spy. However, the military commander's spy did not know that this was a game, and Dai Li would not believe that he was someone else's pawn. He had always been the only one to use others as pawns.
Chess, when has Boss Dai ever been someone else's chess piece? It doesn't exist at all.
Dai Li said: "Please rest assured, the source of the information is absolutely reliable."
Despite Dai Li's sworn guarantee, Chairman Chiang still instinctively didn't believe it.
Shaking his head, Chairman Jiang said: "I still don't believe that Xu Rui has been killed in action. Even if the news is true, it may be that Xu Rui also deceived the senior officials of the New Fourth Army. Don't forget, Xu Rui died before, Japan
People have suffered a lot as a result, so this matter needs to be observed for a longer period of time."
Chairman Chiang dreamed of Xu Rui's death, but he was worried that his joy would be in vain.
"Yes, I understand." Dai Li bowed slightly and left the study unhappy. He felt disappointed. He thought that if he reported this great news to the committee, he would definitely get a commendation or even a promotion. Who would
I know that the committee members don't believe it at all, let alone mentioning awards and so on, and there are not even a few words of condolences.
…
Not surprisingly, the news of Xu Rui's death was quickly revealed to the Japanese through double agents. The Japanese's reaction was exactly the same as Chairman Chiang's, they didn't believe it.
"Fake news, this must be fake news." Shun Tada shook his head repeatedly and said with certainty.
"Even a humble official thought this was fake news." Takazo Iinuma said, "This news must have been deliberately revealed by the New Fourth Army in order to use the military commander's hand to confuse us, or even the top brass of the New Fourth Army were deceived by Xu Rui.
Even in the dark, I don’t know the truth, but I never believe that Xu Rui died like this."
"Sodais." Tada Shun nodded and said, "Xu Rui is a cunning guy. He faked his death once before. Not only did he make a fool of himself, then the commander of the Central China Condemnation Army, Shunroku Hata, but he also made the Emperor of Japan
The army suffered a big loss, but the same trick didn't work after being used twice in a row. Do you really think we are stupid?"
"Hai." Takanazou Iinuma paused and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, you have learned from this."
Jun Tada chuckled and said: "However, this fake news is not completely worthless. At least it proves that our previous judgment is very correct from the side. At this time, Xu Rui, the Langya Brigade and the Songhu Independent who were trapped in Shanghai
The remaining troops of the regiment must be hiding in a large underground bunker. Xu Rui wants to dispel the imperial army's plan to search Shanghai by releasing the news of suspended animation. However, this is a wishful thinking. The imperial army's search for Shanghai will only be more detailed than before!
"
"Hai." Takazo Iinuma paused and said, "I will call all the divisions on the front line. As soon as the fire is extinguished, I will immediately launch a carpet search of the entire city. The focus of the search is the underground space! Even if it is just a sewer.
Don’t let us go, we must find Xu Rui, this cunning Chinese rat!”
"Yoshi." Tada Shun nodded with satisfaction.
…
"Yawn, yawn!"
Xu Rui, who was standing on the deck, sneezed twice in a row.
Ono Shiroku, who was sitting next to him, immediately asked with concern: "Nishimura-kun, are you okay?"
At this time, Xu Rui used the pseudonym of Nishimura Kojiro again, and Leng Tiefeng also used the Japanese pseudonym of Nagata Jiro. Anyway, Takenoda Iso, the only one who knows these two pseudonyms, would never appear here. That little devil might have already
He is no longer alive, right? So the two of them used their previous pseudonyms without any scruples.
Two days ago, according to Ono Roku's arrangement, a group of seven people formed a caravan of Japanese overseas Chinese. Among them, Xu Rui and Xiao Taohong, whose pseudonym was Yuko Ozawa, were the host couple, and Jiro Nagata, who was pseudonymous
Leng Tiefeng is a friend of the main family, while Wu Han, whose pseudonym is Matsushima Han, Digua, whose pseudonym is Kiku Digua, Mo Zichen, whose pseudonym is Asahina Chen, and Mo Hanhun, whose pseudonym is Asahina Hun, are the main characters.
The bodyguards hired by the family, Tatsu Asahina and Soul Asahina are two brothers.
Xu Rui and his party of seven disguised themselves as a caravan and met Ono Shiliu's convoy by chance on the way. Then Ono Shiliu warmly invited Nishimura and his party to go with him. After arriving at Zhenjiang Pier, they helped to smoothen the relationship between the navy and let him
Nishimura and his group of seven took a Navy transport ship back to Tokyo.
However, it was delayed for two days at the Zhenjiang pier because of the need to unload the cargo.
So until today, the freighter named "Abe Maru" has left the Zhenjiang pier and headed east along the Yangtze River, preparing to return to Tokyo via Ryukyu. At this time, the Abe Maru happened to pass by Wusongkou, Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng
Unable to stay in the cabin, I went to the deck of the Abe Maru and looked at Shanghai.
In fact, Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng said it was a lie that the cabin was stuffy and they couldn't stay still. They just wanted to go on the deck to see how Shanghai was doing, mainly to see if the fire was still burning.
As a result, when the two of them got to the deck and looked west, they saw that the entire sky above Shanghai was still covered in thick smoke. Due to the distance, although the flames could not be seen, it was conceivable that the fire was still not extinguished! It had passed.
Two days later, the fire showed no signs of extinguishing, so the final result can be imagined.
"Old Xu, Shanghai is completely over." Leng Tiefeng said quietly in a voice that only Xu Rui could hear.
Xu Rui nodded expressionlessly. Leng Tiefeng was right. After the fire, Shanghai was indeed finished. Without the construction of thirty or fifty years, it would have returned to its previous situation.
Ten years later, after the reconstruction of Shanghai is completed, only God knows whether it will be able to return to its previous status in the international financial and trade circles.
Thinking of this, Xu Rui suddenly felt a little shaken in his heart: To implement the scorched earth policy in Shanghai, he would rather turn Shanghai into scorched earth than hand her over to the devils. Although it seemed smooth, it did cause great losses to the devils, but in the long run,
The biggest losers are the Chinese, because in the future China is likely to lose one of the world's top five international metropolises!
But soon, Xu Rui's vision became firm again. For the integrity of the country's sovereignty and national independence, no matter what the price, it is completely worth it!
At this moment, Xu Rui suddenly sneezed twice.
Ono Shiliu immediately said: "Nishimura-kun, are you okay?"
"It's okay." Xu Rui shook his head, but the expression on his face became colder.
Leng Tiefeng sighed softly in his heart. He could understand the pressure Xu Rui was carrying. After all, it was he who issued the order to burn Shanghai. The impact of this order is likely to trouble Xu Rui for his long life! But this kind of
Troubled, no one else could help him, and neither could he, Leng Tiefeng, who could only stand aside and watch.
At this time, two warships passed near the Abe Maru and sailed into the Huangpu River. The main mast of the warships hung the dazzling rising sun flag, but they were two cruisers of the Japanese Navy. The Abe Maru sounded the whistle to signal that the two ships
The Japanese warship also responded with a semaphore, telling it that everything on the sea ahead was normal and it could return smoothly.
The Japanese warship sailed very fast and soon entered the Huangpu River and disappeared.
The speed of the Abe Maru was much slower. It moved forward slowly like a snail for a long time before finally leaving Wusongkou. It suddenly became clear and it finally entered the East China Sea! There is nothing more to say about the next few days.
We first stopped at Ryukyu for two days, unloaded a batch of cargo, and then set sail again, this time heading straight for Tokyo.
A week later, the Abe Maru finally arrived in Tokyo smoothly and reached the end of the trip.
Xu Rui had trained in Tokyo for three months before crossing over. Whenever he had free time, he would come to the beach of Tokyo Bay to watch the sunset, so he had seen the busy scene of Tokyo Bay. See you again, the busy scene of Tokyo Bay was actually not the same at all.
It is no worse than it was eighty years later. The only difference is that the buildings on the seaside are far different.
