Turn your attention back to Shanghai.
Wang Husheng found Xu Rui early in the morning and said: "Old Xu, the military minister called and asked if we need support? If necessary, they can consider sending one or two main regiments from Dameishan Military Division or Suzhong Military Division to Shanghai , This can somewhat alleviate our dilemma of insufficient troops."
Xu Rui thought about it carefully, then shook his head and said: "Forget it, the Dameishan Military Division and the Suzhong Military Division are currently being raided by the Japanese. Life may not be better than ours. If one guy takes away one or two of the main regiments, Isn’t the situation going to get worse? So let’s forget it, we can handle it.”
What Xu Rui said is true. Although Xu Rui is no longer in the Dameishan base area, the Japanese blockade of the Dameishan base area has never been relaxed for a moment. Even the Suzhong base area adjacent to the Dameishan base area has also received special care. , suffered continuous large-scale raids by the Japs.
In fact, the strength of the Central China Condemnation Army has now expanded to 500,000, even exceeding the 400,000 of the North China Front Army. 200,000 of these 500,000 were used to besiege and blockade Damei Mountain. The base area and the anti-Japanese base areas in central and northern Jiangsu, otherwise Songhu would not be as empty as it is now.
Otherwise, the Japanese base camp would not have dispatched the Guards Division to Shanghai!
Right now, the various military divisions of the New Fourth Army are not having an easy time.
Of course, no matter how difficult these military divisions are, they are always better than the Songhu Military Division. That's why the military minister sent a telegram asking Xu Rui and Wang Husheng if they needed support? If necessary, it is really possible for the military minister to transfer one or two main regiments from each military branch below.
However, one or two main force regiments are really a drop in the bucket for Songhu. If the military minister can dispatch ten or eight main force regiments to Shanghai, it is absolutely impossible for Xu Rui to refuse. With the existing troops, ten more will be added. With eight main regiments, Xu Rui really dared to fight a large-scale, head-on battle with the Japs in Shanghai.
It's a pity that just thinking about it, the military minister simply can't come up with so many main force groups.
Wang Husheng nodded and said to Xu Rui: "Old Xu, then I will reply to the Minister of Military Affairs."
"Reply, but put it politely," Xu Rui said, "Just say we don't need it yet."
Wang Husheng stood up and left, but when he reached the door, he suddenly turned back and said, "By the way, there is one more thing. Shadow has been transferred back to the country and has been transferred to the reserve force."
Xu Rui saw that Wang Husheng was a little frustrated, so he comforted him and said, "This at least means that the shadow has not been exposed yet."
Wang Husheng said: "Even if it is not exposed, we have lost the trust of the Japanese military leaders. They will no longer be able to provide us with confidential information in the future. For example, now, we don't know what the Japanese military base camp is doing at all? Perhaps, the Japanese military leaders are already working hard. The preparations for the third Songhu Battle are also unknown."
Wang Husheng's words became a motto. The top Japanese military leaders were really stepping up their preparations for the Third Battle of Songhu. However, Xu Rui and Wang Husheng were ignorant of this. And this is the importance of intelligence. If the shadow has not been exposed, if Shadow can inform the Japanese military's high-level movements as soon as possible, so Xu Rui can make arrangements in advance.
"There's nothing we can do about it." Xu Rui sighed and said, "Let the shadow sleep."
Wang Husheng nodded and added: "I can only let him sleep for now, but it may be useful in the future."
Xu Rui hummed, and then asked: "By the way, Lao Wang, there is one more thing. Yesterday, there was a telegram from the Chief of the Third War Zone, saying that a heavyweight from the National Government was coming today. Has this person arrived?"
"I almost forgot if you didn't mention this." Wang Husheng slapped his forehead and said, "We're already here."
"Who is this person?" Xu Rui said, "Is he still a heavyweight? From what I hear from Chief Gu, he seems to want us to hold a grand welcome ceremony."
Wang Husheng smiled and said: "This is really a heavyweight, and you have seen him before, Lao Xu."
Xu Rui immediately reacted and said with a smile: "You mean, Minister Song?"
"Really?" Wang Husheng smiled and nodded, "That's Minister Song."
Xu Rui said: "Then I really have to go see him. Where is he now?"
Wang Husheng said: "I just checked into the Chinachem Hotel."
Xu Rui immediately turned to the door and shouted: "Sweet potato, prepare the car!"
Digua agreed and rushed downstairs to prepare the car. By the time Xu Rui and Wang Husheng came downstairs, Digua had already parked the Peugeot Mercedes-Benz car in the foyer. After the liberation of Shanghai, Xu Rui had been driving Liang Wuyi's car. As the Mercedes-Benz swaggered through the market, no one suspected that the two of them were the same person. They only thought that Xu Rui had seized Liang Wuyi's car.
I have to say that Xu Rui's performance as the incarnation of Liang Wuyi is really perfect, so much so that others can't connect Xu Rui, the ** military commander, with Liang Wuyi, the playboy, because of the two people's roles. Their identities and styles are so different that it is impossible to connect them.
Even Japan did not connect the two people.
So until now, in the database of the Japanese Military Special High School, Liang Wuyi's file is still marked as missing. In other words, the Japanese Military Special High School included Liang Wuyi in the list of missing persons, and it was completely unexpected that The missing Liang Wuyi is the same person as Xu Rui, commander of the Songhu Military Division.
However, when Xu Rui and Wang Husheng arrived at the Chinachem Hotel by car, they were told by Minister Song's entourage that Minister Song had just gone out. They asked them where Minister Song had gone, but they did not know. Helplessly, Xu Rui and Wang Husheng could only leave a few words, and then returned to Broadway Building.
So, where did Minister Song go
Minister Song went to find Liang Gang, or in other words, went to find Leng Tiefeng.
At this moment, Minister Song had already met Leng Tiefeng at the headquarters of the Langya Brigade. However, Minister Song did not go alone. He also brought another person with him, and this person was Sun Liren! He was a classmate studying at West Point Military Academy at the same time as Leng Tiefeng or Liang Gang, and the relationship between the two was very close!
"Gangzi? Is it really you?!" Sun Liren was overjoyed when he saw Leng Tiefeng.
"A Li?! Mr. Song?!" Leng Tiefeng was a little surprised when he saw Sun Liren and Minister Song.
If it were anyone else, Leng Tiefeng would never admit Liang Gang's identity, but in front of Sun Liren, an old classmate, and Minister Song, Leng Tiefeng could no longer pretend to be dumbfounded.
Sun Liren immediately rushed forward, first punched Leng Tiefeng in the chest, then stretched out his right hand to tightly grasp Leng Tiefeng's right arm, and then pulled hard. The two put their right shoulders to their right shoulders and hugged each other tightly.
Minister Song also walked up to the two of them and said with emotion: "Captain Liang, I didn't expect it was really you!"
Leng Tiefeng couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard this, because logically speaking, after Leng Tiefeng recovered from his injury, he should look for his old troops as soon as possible, but he did not do so, and instead stayed in the temporary 79th Division , and then followed Xu Rui to join the Dameishan Independent Brigade, and finally joined the Communist Party and became a party member.
However, just for a moment, Leng Tiefeng felt relieved.
Although he, Leng Tiefeng, was once a member of the National Army, that was in the past.
Now, he feels that he is worthy of his heart, his country, and his nation.
Looking at Leng Tiefeng, Minister Song wanted to ask directly, where is the gold? However, Minister Song finally held back. Now is not the time to ask this. Besides, the gate of the military camp is not the place to talk about such confidential matters. You must know that walls have ears. It would be terrible if the news leaks and the Japanese know it. .
At that moment, Minister Song smiled and said, "Battle Commander Liang, don't you invite us in to sit down?"
Leng Tiefeng burst into laughter, and immediately raised his hands and said, "Mr. Song, and Ali, please come in quickly!"
At that moment, Leng Tiefeng invited Minister Song and Sun Liren into his office and asked someone to make tea for them.
After the two of them sat down, Leng Tiefeng also sat down opposite them and said with a smile: "Mr. Song, and Ali, I really didn't expect to see you in Shanghai."
"I didn't even expect it!" Sun Liren slammed the table and said, "Gangzi, didn't I say you died?"
"No." Leng Tiefeng shook his head and continued, "I was only seriously injured at the time, and then I was rescued by Chief of Staff Lin of the 79th Division. After I recovered, I stayed in the temporary Formed the 79th Division, and then followed our commander to join the Dameishan Independent Brigade, and then came to Shanghai."
General Leng Tiefeng's experience was briefly discussed with Minister Song and Sun Liren, but he deliberately concealed the matter about the batch of gold because it was currently being stored in the vault at the Dameishan base. , it is no longer possible to return it to the National Government, let alone Minister Song.
"That's what I'm saying." Sun Liren slammed the table again and said, "At that time, everyone thought you really sacrificed, but I didn't believe it. I said, anyone can sacrifice, but Gangzi you can't! In this world, people who can kill you have not yet been born. How can a little devil be so virtuous that he can kill you?"
"That's not true." Leng Tietie shook his head and said, "If it weren't for Chief of Staff Lin of the 79th Division, I would have died long ago."
"But you're not dead now, are you?" Sun Liren said, "This proves that my judgment is correct, you can't be dead!"
"But all the brothers in the secret service camp are gone." Leng Tiefeng's expression dimmed and he whispered, "Of the more than 800 brothers, not one of them survived, they all died."
Sun Liren didn't know how to speak, but he couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard Leng Tiezhi take the initiative to start a conversation.
At that moment, Sun Liren said: "Gangzi, you don't know, now our tax police corps has been reorganized into the anti-smuggling corps, and a lot of new recruits have been recruited. What is most lacking right now is senior officers with practical experience like you, so , Gangzi, come back to your old army with me, as long as you follow me, the position of regiment leader will be yours!"
