After Zhang Hao left, Li Yunsheng said to Smith: "According to the agreement, we will trade these weapons at the edge of the concession, and you will be responsible for transporting them here in the concession. Now, please Mr. Smith, please send someone to deliver the weapons."
This was agreed upon, so Smith didn't hesitate and quickly mobilized thirty cars and sent more than a hundred people to load the weapons into the cars.
After the weapons were loaded into the truck, Li Yunsheng also sent several of his men to get on the truck and transport the weapons away with the Americans.
Due to the huge number of weapons, it would take several times to transport them even if thirty trucks were used, so Li Yunsheng waited patiently while chatting with Smith.
It took five or six hours and the car drove back and forth several times before the transaction was completed. When the last handover was completed, Li Yunsheng took out a check and handed it to Smith, smiling and saying: "This is the remaining payment, please pay attention carefully.
Look, if something goes wrong, I won’t admit it in the future.”
Because this American would be used in the future, Li Yunsheng made some jokes to easily build a relationship between the two people.
Smith was not polite. He took the check and looked at it carefully, then said with a smile: "Yes, it's not bad at all. Our cooperation is very pleasant this time."
Li Yunsheng struck while the iron was hot and said, "Have you done what I said before? When will we continue trading?"
Smith said softly: "The big shots above are communicating, but I guess it's about the same. I will contact you when I have specific news."
Li Yunsheng nodded, exchanged contact information with the radio station again, and took the people away.
After returning to the station, Li Yunsheng asked Zhang Hao: "Where have all the things been delivered? Is there anything wrong?"
Zhang Hao said with a smile: "It was sent directly back to the headquarters without any trouble. The headquarters just sent a telegram to commend us."
Li Yunsheng nodded with satisfaction, thinking that with these weapons, Chen Xiucheng would realize his own value.
Two days later, when it was time to meet Murakami Liuzhu, Li Yunsheng came to the French Concession and met Murakami Liuzhu quietly.
However, Murakami Rokuzhu did not bring any military intelligence this time, so Li Yunsheng asked in surprise: "The Japanese army is mobilized frequently, how come there is no useful information."
Cun Shangliuzhu said with a wry smile: "The war has started so far, both sides have reached a stalemate, so there are no secrets. Now in order to deal with the Shanghai war, a new division has been formed in the country. Maybe after the arrival of this unit,
Will there be any major changes?"
Li Yunsheng was not surprised to hear that the Japanese would continue to recruit troops. After all, the Japanese had been riding a tiger until now and had to fight on.
Thinking that this war has been going on for two months and is almost over, he sighed and said: "I estimate that this war will be over soon. From now on, until the war ends, you will lurk unless there is someone."
Absolutely important information, otherwise don’t come here and wait until the war is over before contacting you.”
When Murakami Rokuzhu heard this, he immediately became happy, and then said: "Okay, I will lurk and act according to Takeda-kun's order."
Although Murakami's six pillars behaved normally, Li Yunsheng still noticed a hint of joy in his heart, and reminded him: "Don't think that everything is fine. After the war is over, the Japanese intelligence department will definitely launch a strict self-examination. Can you
Be careful not to reveal any flaws."
The reason why Li Yunsheng let Murakami's Six Pillars lurk was precisely for this reason. After all, during the war, not only did China frequently leak secrets, but he also learned some secrets through saving the Six Pillars. Coupled with moles from other countries, Japan
Several major secrets were also leaked.
However, due to the war, the matter was not easy to investigate. Therefore, once the war was over, the Japanese intelligence department would strictly conduct internal investigations. The performance of Murakami Rokuzhu just made Li Yunsheng feel that his emotions were somewhat flawed, so he warned him. As for the
Li Yunsheng didn't care about his little thoughts.
After hearing Li Yunsheng's words, Murakami Rokuzhu immediately said: "Don't worry Takeda-kun, I will be careful," and then exchanged a few words before turning and leaving.
After Murakami Rokuzhu left, Zhou Wei asked: "Section Chief, is the war really almost over?"
Li Yunsheng sighed and said: "We have been fighting for more than two months. We have reached the limit. I am afraid we can't hold on for much longer. And the Japanese are still sending troops to Shanghai. I guess it won't be long before their reinforcements arrive. By then
We will definitely not be able to hold on."
Zhou Wei sighed and said, "I really didn't expect this battle to end like this."
Before the war broke out, Zhou Wei never imagined that the war would end like this. After all, the Nationalist Government dispatched 700,000 to 800,000 troops, while the Japanese side only sent a few hundred thousand troops, but the result was disappointing. Even with this
Li Yunsheng said more than once that the Shanghai War would fail, but Zhou Wei still didn't quite believe it.
Li Yunsheng immediately said: "Stop talking about this, I estimate that I can still hold on for a while. During this period, you have to be prepared. After all, once Shanghai falls, we will rely on you here."
Zhou Wei nodded solemnly, then the two exchanged some words, and Li Yunsheng turned around and left.
After returning to the station, Zhang Hao found Li Yunsheng and said happily: "Section Chief, the Americans just sent a telegram saying that the transaction can continue, but the number of weapons is not as large as last time."
Hearing the good news, Li Yunsheng also became happy and said happily: "Yes, this way we can feel more relaxed."
Zhang Hao said with emotion: "These Americans are so awesome, they openly transport weapons to Shanghai."
Li Yunsheng said calmly: "The Japanese have a lot of requests for the United States, and the United States is so powerful that Japan still doesn't dare to offend it, so even if they find out about this, they can only bear this tone."
Zhang Hao also agreed with this statement, and then the two discussed the transaction again, and then called Smith back.
More than ten days later, Li Yunsheng suddenly received news that the Japanese had captured Hangzhou and were attacking Shanghai from the side.
After learning this news, Li Yunsheng knew that the Chinese army had to retreat, otherwise it would easily be cut off.
Sure enough, within a day, I received an order from the headquarters to prepare to withdraw from Shanghai.
Li Yunsheng was not surprised by this result. He quickly went to Zhang Hao and asked: "How many wounded do we have now and how are they arranged?"
Zhang Hao said simply: "There are still more than a dozen seriously injured people, and there are more than 30 people with minor injuries that affect their movement."
Li Yunsheng immediately said: "Send some brothers to take all the wounded to the French Concession, and then leave a few people to take care of them."
Zhang Hao asked in confusion, "Section Chief, why are you doing this? If they leave the hospital, their recovery will be slower."
Li Yunsheng sighed and said: "The headquarters has issued an order to retreat. It will be very chaotic by then. No one will take care of these wounded people. The Japanese army is so ferocious that after entering Shanghai, they will definitely not be let go.
That’s why I asked Xu Bing to prepare houses in the concession, just to give the wounded a place to stay during the retreat.”
Zhang Hao said doubtfully: "But shouldn't the wounded be the first to evacuate? Moreover, the orders issued by the headquarters are very clear. Each department should retreat in an orderly manner, so it shouldn't be too chaotic."
Li Yunsheng didn't want to explain anything, so he simply said: "Stop asking, just do as I say."
After hearing what Li Yunsheng said, Zhang Hao stopped asking any more questions and immediately arranged for personnel to transport the wounded.
After handling this matter, Li Yunsheng breathed a sigh of relief.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the headquarters issued another order to suspend the retreat and continue fighting the Japanese army.
As soon as this order was issued, Zhang Hao said in confusion: "Section Chief, this is what happened, why did the headquarters change the order?"
Li Yunsheng was also a little puzzled. After all, the military order had been issued, and the troops in Shanghai were already preparing to retreat. Why did the plan suddenly change? Such a change of orders day and night would cause big problems and affect the morale of the army. Chen Xiucheng was like this
How could a shrewd person make such a contradictory decision? He sighed and said, "Don't worry about anything else. Just be prepared to retreat."
After giving the instructions, Li Yunsheng went to the Corps headquarters to inquire about the situation.
But as soon as he entered the headquarters, he saw Hao Jinyuan asking Chen Xiucheng: "Commander, what is going on? Why do you change orders day and night? This affects morale too much."
Chen Xiucheng explained calmly: "The leader just sent a telegram, saying that the League of Nations is mediating and the results are about to come, so let us continue to hold on for a few days."
Hearing the news, Li Yunsheng immediately understood the cause of the matter, and couldn't help but sigh. Principal Chang was still quite naive. The war between China and Japan was so tense, and he still placed his hope in foreigners. It's no wonder that after the Battle of Shanghai, the National Army
It will collapse thousands of miles.
When Hao Jinyuan heard that it was Principal Chang who gave the order, he didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere became somewhat silent for a while.
Seeing this, Li Yunsheng immediately said: "Commander, we can't completely trust those foreigners. Now the Japanese have captured Hangzhou and are threatening Shanghai from the side. If we delay the time and allow the Japanese to cut off our retreat, what will happen?"
It would be dangerous.”
Chen Xiucheng said seriously: "Leaders have their own plans for military and national affairs, so you don't need to say anything."
Seeing how serious Chen Xiucheng was, Li Yunsheng stopped talking. After all, he was just a colonel. If he hadn't taken refuge with Chen Xiucheng, he would not dare to speak rashly as he was one of his own.
At this time, Hao Jinyuan said: "Commander, I feel that the war situation is not optimistic, you should make preparations early," and then turned to leave.
When Li Yunsheng saw Hao Jinyuan leaving, he figured out the reason and said goodbye to Chen Xiucheng.
