The cooperation was not negotiated, so Xu Rui had to find another way. ． m
After Xu Rui finished speaking, he left the dormitory where Ferguson was detained. However, before leaving, Xu Rui asked the guard in charge to loosen the rope around Ferguson. This was considered a minimum act of sincerity. Of course, in addition to loosening the rope, the security force outside the dormitory was strengthened. It's been strengthened, but Ferguson can't take the opportunity to run away.
As soon as Xu Rui walked out of the dormitory, Xie Yuan and Yang Rui came to greet him.
Xie Yuan said nervously: "Commander, Wang Tianmu just came here again, saying that the negotiations in Chongqing have collapsed, and the Americans are very angry at our sky-high asking price."
"Just be angry when you're angry." Xu Rui said, "It's nothing more than a bluff. The Yankees are the best at this, but in the end, they will still sit back at the negotiating table."
Xu Rui should not know too much about this American virtue. In the Korean War, Americans were like this. They fought and talked, and they delayed for more than three years before they were willing to sign the armistice.
What's more, it doesn't matter whether Americans come forward to mediate now.
Because if nothing unexpected happens, they will soon be cooperating with the British army.
Don't think that the British Army can't cooperate with the Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion just after they annihilated the Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill said that there are never eternal friends in the world, but only eternal interests, so in the face of interests, don't Everything is negotiable, let alone face.
Of course, Churchill is still at home and has not yet become prime minister.
Xu Rui went down to the first floor and walked into the war room, followed by Xie Yuan and Yang Rui.
Xie Yuan wanted to continue the topic just now, but was interrupted by Xu Rui. Xu Rui waved his hand and said, "Battal Commander Xie, I won't talk about the negotiations in advance. Let's make a good plan first on how to fight against the Japanese."
"Japanese?" Xie Yuan and Yang Rui looked at each other in confusion upon hearing this, "The Japs are going to attack the concession?"
Xu Rui nodded and said, "We have received reliable information, and the little devil will take action tonight."
"Tonight?" Xie Yuan calmed down and said with a frown, "Commander, you can't. Do you really dare to attack the concession? Aren't they afraid of turning against the United States, Britain and other countries?"
The Shanghai Public Concession and the French Concession have long become isolated islands. If the Japanese army really wants to take action, they can occupy the entire Public Concession in minutes. The French Concession will definitely not last two days. However, until today, the Japanese army has not attacked the Public Concession and the French Concession. Take action because they have concerns.
Because the Japanese government did not dare to antagonize the entire Western world, at least before the German-Italian-Japanese Axis Alliance was formally formed, it absolutely did not dare to antagonize the entire Western world.
So Xie Yuan and Yang Rui didn't believe that the Japanese army really dared to attack the concession.
"Of course the Japs are afraid. Although the Japs are arrogant, they are not so arrogant that they dare to antagonize the entire Western world." Xu Rui shook his head and continued, "But this time the situation is different. This time the Japs are sending troops. At the invitation of the Italian, Luxembourg and Dutch governments, we came to rescue the hostages we had taken."
Mussolini came and also roped in Luxembourg and the Netherlands.
After a slight pause, Xu Rui continued: "So, the Japs' actions this time are well-known. At least morally, the United States and Britain have no way to accuse them. What's more, the Japs may not wear military uniforms. If they only wear military uniforms, In plain clothes, the Japanese government can completely evade this and say that this is just the action of Wang Puppet No. 76. In this way, the United States and Britain will be even more blameless."
Xie Yuan and Yang Rui looked at each other with concentration. If this was the case, the possibility of the Japanese attacking the concession was quite high, but Xie Yuan quickly thought of another question.
"But what benefits can the Japs gain from attacking the concession?" Xie Yuan frowned and said, "Even if the Japs occupy the entire public concession and the French Concession, they will have to withdraw in the end? What is the purpose of their move? In other words, What benefits can they get from it? It can’t really be just to save people, right?”
Xu Ruiran said: "Of course the devils are not just trying to save people. The true intention of the devils is to take the opportunity to kill all the hostages we have kidnapped, and then blame them on our solitary army camp, so as to create conflicts between China and Western countries. The confrontation eventually led to China being isolated from the entire world and losing all foreign aid."
When Xie Yuan and Yang Rui heard this, they immediately took a breath of air, it turned out to be like this!
Xie Yuan said: "So, we must transfer all the hostages immediately!"
"Transfer the hostages?" Xu Rui said, "Where to transfer them? Is there any safer place than the military camp?"
Xie Yuan was speechless. Indeed, it would be difficult to find a safer place than this in the entire Western District of the Concession.
Xu Rui said in a deep voice: "So, our only way now is to thwart the little devil's attack and make the devil's plan completely bankrupt!"
Xie Yuan and Yang Rui both agreed.
Xu Rui asked again: "Where do you think the Japanese are most likely to attack?"
"Building a road across the border!" Xie Yuan and Yang Rui looked at each other and answered in unison.
"I think so too." Xu Rui nodded, and added, "The west area of the concession is to the north of the Suzhou River, and the Japs' heavy weapons cannot get through. To the south is the French Concession, and to the east is the Central District of the Concession. Therefore, the Japs are the most vulnerable. It is possible to attack us along the cross-border road construction in the west, so our defense should also focus on the cross-border road construction in the west."
Xie Yuan nodded and said in a deep voice: "Commander Xu, do you know how many troops the Japanese will invest?"
"A brigade!" Xu Rui said, "The Japanese mobilized an infantry brigade from the Ninth Division."
This is because Jun Nakamura's status is high enough to know the scale of the troops used by the Japanese.
"A brigade?" Xie Yuan and Yang Rui suddenly looked stern when they heard this. This pressure is not small.
Xu Rui asked again: "Battal Commander Xie, how many veterans of the National Army have defected in the past two days?"
Since the Gujun Battalion took control of the Italian military camp, veterans of the National Army stranded in Shanghai have been coming to join them. As Xu Rui said at the beginning, as long as the Gujun Battalion first raises the banner of anti-Japanese, the veterans in Shanghai will definitely be touched. , and will definitely join the great cause of the Anti-Japanese War without hesitation in the end.
However, the momentum created by the Lone Army Battalion is not big enough at the moment, so there are not many veterans of the National Army who come to defect.
Xie Yuan replied: "The veterans who have defected in the past two days add up to more than a hundred people, and there is a company!"
"Grandma," Yang Rui said angrily, "After the Battle of Songhu, there were at least 70,000 to 80,000 veterans who stayed in Shanghai to recuperate, and not many left Shanghai after recovering. Now we are re-establishing The banner of the Anti-Japanese War has been raised, but so few veterans have come to join us, which is really chilling."
Xie Yuan also said: "No, if we can gather a regiment of veterans, we won't be afraid of the Japanese."
Xu Rui shook his head when he heard this. The number of troops never matters, but only whether the combat effectiveness is strong. If you gather a regiment of veterans, won't the Japanese call in a division or even an army? What's more, most of these National Army veterans stranded in Shanghai live a difficult life, running around for life every day, and they may not know what is happening here.
At that moment, Xu Rui said to Yang Rui: "Deputy Yang Ying, take the Third Company to build roads across the border and set up defenses in advance."
"Okay." Yang Rui agreed, and immediately went outside to the playground, summoned the officers and soldiers of the third company and hurried away.
Xu Rui then said to Xie Yuan: "Battal Commander Xie, the Third Company can only delay the Japs' advance. Whether they can thwart the Japs' action depends on whether the main force of the Gujun Battalion can successfully fight this street battle."
Xie Yuan said solemnly: "Young devils are not unambiguous when it comes to street fighting."
As a battalion of the 88th Division, the Gujun Battalion first fought against the 6th Japanese Marine Corps stationed in Shanghai at the North Railway Station, and then held on for seven days at Sihang Warehouse. It can be said that it was a street battle among two hundred divisions of the National Army. The one with the most experience, so Xie Yuan undoubtedly has the say in street fighting.
Xu Rui agreed with Xie Yuan's judgment, and the Japanese street fighting was indeed unambiguous.
But if you have to say who is the best at street fighting, there is probably no second person in the world today who is better at it than Xu Rui. Xu Rui is the king of special forces from the 21st century. He has not only received special training in street fighting, He has also received specialized theoretical study on street fighting. There is absolutely no second person in the world who understands street fighting better than him.
Compared with field battles, street battles have significantly higher requirements for individual combat effectiveness, and relatively lower requirements for troop strength, firepower, and command. Therefore, they have a complete chance of defeating the Japanese in this battle. The premise is that the lone army camp must be fully equipped. Take advantage of the strength of individual soldiers.
Among them, the use of snipers is particularly important.
Xu Rui said: "Battle Commander Xie, I agree with your judgment. The Japs are unambiguous in street fighting. Therefore, in order to attack the Japs more effectively, I decided to gather together all the brothers with better marksmanship in the lone camp and form a separate sniper platoon. This sniper platoon will be commanded by you, and your mission is to snipe the little Japs’ officer flag bearers and machine gunners.”
"This is a good idea." Xie Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said proudly, "Commander, don't mention it. We really have a lot of good marksmanship in our lone camp. It's trivial to form a sniper platoon."
While the two were talking, a guard suddenly ran in and reported: "Commander, that brigadier general of the British devils is clamoring to see you."
"Ferguson?" A smile immediately appeared on Xu Rui's lips. Has this British guy finally figured it out
At that moment, Xu Rui asked Xie Yuan to recruit veterans with good marksmanship to form a sniper platoon, but he came to the second floor.
Ferguson immediately shouted excitedly: "Farke, you can't do this, you can't leave all the hostages alone. If you leave the hostages and evacuate, even if we don't die at your hands in the end, the British Empire will still All the victimized countries will still blame you for this blood debt!"
