Chairman Chiang slumped back in his chair. The idea of declaring war on Japan had completely disappeared from his mind. If the Soviet Far East Front was destined to be defeated, and if the entire Far East was destined to fall into the hands of the Japanese, then why declare war? Once war is declared, wouldn't it mean to offend the Japanese even more? Then there will be no hope for peace talks. ．m
I have to say that Chairman Chiang is very naive. At this time, he is still thinking about peace talks with the Japanese. Even if the Japanese really agree to peace talks, it is not impossible to consider allowing North and Central China autonomy.
At this time, Dai Li whispered: "Commissioner, I have some important news here."
Chairman Chiang raised his head somewhat numbly, his eyes covered with lids, and asked: "Is there any other news?"
Dai Li said: "Xu Rui, who had been missing before, turned out to have been transferred to the Songhu area."
"Transferred to the Songhu area?" Chairman Jiang was surprised. "That's not possible. If Xu Rui was really transferred to Songhu, how could Songhu be so quiet? How could he still cause trouble?"
Chairman Jiang also understood Xu Rui's character. This boy refused to live in peace no matter where he went. He had to turn the place upside down.
Dai Li said: "Commissioner, the Songhu area has been turned upside down."
Chairman Jiang said blankly: "Yunong, what do you mean by this?"
Several staff members nearby were also puzzled. It was no secret that the Communist Party of China also had guerrilla armed forces in the Songhu area. However, under the liaison between Wang Puppet Army and the Japanese army, the Songhu guerrilla detachment of the Communist Party of China had been severely damaged. Since a few months ago, there have been no public events, so how could there be any talk of a riot in Songhu
Dai Li said in a low voice: "Did the committee neglect to mention that Shanghai is also within the Songhu area!"
"Shanghai?" Chairman Chiang and the three major staffs looked at each other and didn't react at all, because when they mentioned the guerrilla armed forces, their first reaction was to the mountain guerrillas. They were as strong as Xu Rui, and at the beginning they could only fight in Dameishan has a foothold, but they dare not directly occupy a certain county. This is because they do not have the strength.
Therefore, Chairman Chiang and others did not even think about Shanghai. How could it be possible to fight guerrillas in Shanghai
But after Dai Li reminded him, Chairman Chiang and the others immediately reacted.
Bai Chongxi was the first to react and immediately shouted loudly: "The commander of the lonely army camp is Xu Rui?!"
"It turns out this is what happened!" Chen Cheng and He Yingqin also reacted one after another, with astonishment on their faces.
"Mother Xipi, I wonder why Gujun Camp is so bold all of a sudden!" Jiang Committee reacted the slowest but most intensely. He slammed the table and stood up again and said, "It turns out that they have been secretly incorporated by the Communist Party!"
Chen Cheng was shocked and then horrified, and said horrified: "Commissioner, this matter must not be ignored."
Chairman Chiang deeply believed that this matter should not be taken lightly. You must know that Shanghai is currently the largest international metropolis in the entire Far East, even larger than Tokyo, and its status in the world order is also far above Tokyo. This means , every move of Gujunying in Shanghai may be amplified and quickly spread to every corner of the world.
Or to put it more bluntly, if the Gujun Battalion can fight a small battle in Shanghai, there is no need for a large battle involving hundreds of divisions like the Battle of Songhu, but only a small battle involving one or two divisions. The international influence of ** armed forces will be greatly improved!
So, does China have the ability to fight a small battle in Shanghai
With Xu Rui's commanding attainments and influence, this is entirely possible.
Although it is now the second time for the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to cooperate, Chairman Chiang has never relaxed his vigilance against the Communist Party. In a word, local warlords like Yan Xishan and Li Zongren can only disgust him at most and absolutely cannot threaten him. His leadership status, but corruption may shake the foundation of his rule.
Therefore, Chairman Chiang will never allow the anti-Japanese armed forces to become powerful in Shanghai!
However, since the Solitary Army Camp was hidden deep in the Shanghai Public Settlement and was beyond the reach of the National Army's military power, there were not many methods that Chairman Chiang could use. The only feasible way was to send a hurricane team to assassinate him!
At that moment, Chairman Chiang said: "Yunong, send a telegram to Wang Tianmu to immediately cancel the assassination of high-level officials of the Wang Puppet Government and use all the backbone of the Hurricane Team to assassinate Xu Rui. We must do whatever it takes to get rid of Xu Rui at any cost! Oh yes!" Also, that poppy you mentioned before must be sent to Shanghai immediately."
After a short pause, Chairman Jiang continued: "Two-pronged approach, we must get rid of Xu Rui!"
"Okay, let's take a seat. I'll make arrangements right away." Dai Li bowed slightly, then turned around and left in a hurry.
Chairman Chiang thought for a while and then said to He Yingqin: "Respectfully, please immediately tell the Japanese through the Wang Puppet Government that Xu Rui is the commander of the Solitary Army Camp. Doesn't the Japanese Emperor regard Xu Rui as the mortal enemy of the empire? Maybe the Japanese know it. After the news, he was more eager to get rid of Xu Rui than us, so we don’t need to worry about it."
"Okay." He Yingqin nodded and said, "I'll make arrangements right away."
Watching He Yingqin leave, Chairman Jiang said with a ferocious smile, Xu Rui, Xu Rui, I have already launched a three-pronged approach, how can you escape this disaster
(Dividing line)
Just two hours later, the news that Xu Rui was the commander of the Gujun Camp (Patrol Battalion) reached the Shanghai Zhongcun Agency.
After Ying Zuozhenzhao heard the news, he immediately came to Nakamura Shun's office and reported: "Your Excellency, General, I have just received top-secret information. The commander of the patrol battalion is actually Xu Rui!"
"Nani?" Jun Nakamura pretended to be surprised and said in a voice, "Xu Rui is actually the commander of the patrol battalion?"
To be honest, Jun Nakamura was very surprised that the news that Xu Rui was the commander of the patrol battalion could be concealed until now. This is enough to show that Xu Rui is still very cautious in his actions. However, no matter how cautious Xu Rui is, he was eventually exposed. The flaw was finally revealed to others, the fact that he was the commander of the patrol battalion.
Yingzuo Zhenzhao said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency General, if this news is true, the situation in Shanghai will be serious. The patrol camp is backed by the protection of the concession. It is already very difficult to deal with. If Xu Rui's Command, that’s even more terrifying, this is no longer one plus one equals two, but equals three or even four!”
"That's not the case." Nakamura Shun frowned and said, "Xu Rui is powerful, but he is better at jungle combat and mountainous combat, but urban combat is not his strong point. Regarding this point, he did not know it when he was in Wuxi. You can draw conclusions based on any outstanding performance, not to mention that Shanghai is an isolated city. If it really doesn't work, the worst the imperial army can do is completely blockade Shanghai. There will be no reinforcements outside the patrol camp and no military supplies inside, and it will collapse on its own within a few months."
"General, you are too optimistic!" Yingzuo Zhenzhao retorted rudely, "In Wuxi, Xu Rui did not perform much in urban combat, but this does not prove that he He is not good at commanding urban operations. As for the reinforcements and military supplies... "
After a pause, Yingzuo Zhenzhao continued: "Don't forget, General, there are tens of thousands of National Army veterans stranded in the public concession and the French Concession! And just yesterday evening, five 10,000-ton cargo ships from the American and British Tobacco Company When we arrived in Shanghai, even though the American and British Tobacco Company claimed that the ship was loaded with daily necessities, as far as I know, it was actually all arms!”
"Is the news reliable?" Nakamura Shun shouted. This time he was not pretending, but he was really surprised.
Nakamura Shun never expected that Xu Rui would be so generous. He bought 50,000 tons of arms from the United States! What does Xu Rui want to do? Want to fight five years of urban warfare with the Japanese army in Shanghai
Yingzuo Zhenzhao said: "The news is still being verified, but the possibility is very high!"
Nakamura Shun said: "If this is the case, then the situation in Shanghai will be really serious."
It's not that Jun Nakamura doesn't want to continue to cover up for Xu Rui, but at this point, Xu Rui is almost ready to show up with the Japanese army, and there is no way to continue to cover up. If this time comes, Jun Nakamura will still have to force Cover it up, Yingzuo Zhenzhao may start to doubt him as the head of the agency.
Yingzuo Zhenzhao said: "Your Excellency General, I humbly suggest that you report this news to the headquarters and base camp of the dispatched army immediately, and then request the headquarters of the dispatched army to immediately dispatch a heavy group of troops to Shanghai to defeat the patrol camp with lightning speed. , otherwise, once the patrol camp becomes a climate, it will be difficult to deal with them."
"It is certain that this news will be sent to the headquarters and base camp of the Condemned Army, but a heavy troop group will be sent to Shanghai..." Nakamura Shun paused at this point, and then said, "I'm afraid it's unlikely at the moment, Ying Zuo-kun, you We also know that the Kwantung Army’s military operation in Eastern Mongolia has just begun, and at this time, the base camp has no time to attend to anything else.”
"Even if we can't mobilize heavy troops, we can always mobilize one or two divisions." Yingzuo Zhenzhao said stubbornly, "With the addition of the Kanazawa Division, Shanghai will have the strength of three divisions, which is almost the same. That’s enough.”
"Kage Zuo-kun, what you said makes sense, then call the Central China Condemnation Army Headquarters and the base camp immediately." Nakamura Shun nodded slightly, and then continued, "But I must remind you that at the moment the empire War has been officially declared on the Soviet Union, and the international pressure is no longer what it used to be. It is best not to provoke the United States, Britain, France and other countries at this time."
After a slight pause, Jun Nakamura continued: "So, unless authorized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we are never allowed to stir up trouble in the public concession, let alone send troops into the public concession at will. Do you understand?"
"Hai." Ying Zuozhen Zhaodun said, "I understand the humble position."
After saying that, Yingzuo Zhenzhao turned around and walked away. Announcement: Biquge app is online, supporting Android and Apple. Please follow the WeChat official account to download and install: appxsyd (press and hold for three seconds to copy)
