Li Baohua said, "Someone asked me to ask, I didn't say who it was, you also know the person who entrusted me, it is Wilson, the general agent of Citibank in Nanjing, you know, he is a very decent person, I think he has come forward, the other party should be trustworthy."

In the past, Yelena auctioned the pill because she wanted to raise money to buy weapons, but now she is not short of money, and even if she buys weapons, she may not be able to save the decline, not to mention that she has experienced yesterday's events, and she does not dare to take risks, so she said,

"Where is it so simple, I don't have it, and now the war is in chaos, and I can't even collect the materials. ”

Li Baohua hurriedly said, "Wilson said that if there is something missing, he can help collect it, and he also said that the price is not a problem." ”

Yelena shook her head, Li Baohua saw Yelena shaking her head, and he didn't say much, after getting along for a long time, he still knew a little bit about Yelena's character.

Li Baohua said again, "Fu Ling, do you live here? This is too simple! I'll arrange a place for you!"

Yelena still shook her head and said, "I was sent by the state, so I can't have anything to do with others, and you must have heard about how dangerous and complicated the situation in the Soviet Union is now, right? I have to be careful! Even if I don't think about myself, I still have a family! You understand?"

Li Baohua sighed and said, "Originally, I thought you could go to see Mrs. Sun! She has been looking for you, but she is afraid of bringing danger to you, now that you have come to Shanghai, Mrs. Sun must be very happy, now it is different, the whole country is fighting against Japan, the situation is much better, you are here, how much can you give everyone an idea, you are so powerful, you can definitely save many people." ”

"I'm just talking on paper, not a strategist or a military strategist, besides, even if the whole country has to resist people, whether you want to or not, but the situation in China you know, the rule of the country cannot be unified, let alone the warlords who are busy preserving their strength, and whether the war can be won, whether the people can avoid being destroyed, is no longer up to me. ”

Li Baohua didn't particularly understand these, but he also understood, turned around and walked to his car, opened the back seat, and took out a box from it, rattan boxes are the most common at this time, looking inconspicuous, but Yelena knows it, it is the box where Yelena put film in the past, after reinforcement and sealing, Li Baohua handed the box to Yelena, and said,

"This is the film I got from some foreign journalists, they were all shot in the battlefield, you can see if it can be useful, if you can let people in the world see the hardships and will of our war of resistance, see this human tragedy, maybe it can help us. ”

Yelena took it, and she felt that this box was very heavy, but she couldn't say anything to Li Baohua, she could send the photos abroad, so what? Do the Japanese care about you talking about his duties? Yelena's speechlessness made Li Baohua very disappointed, telling Yelena that there was something to find her, and reassuring Yelena, he would help bring a message to the Meng family, and would always pay attention to the situation of the Meng family, everything was taken care of by him, Yelena could only smile, but could not say anything.

Yelena came back with a lot of breakfast, and the guards in the yard got a very hearty breakfast, xiaolongbao, tofu brain, shrimp dumplings, boat porridge, preserved egg and lean pork porridge, which were very complete, and the four of them were amazed at Yelena, who spoke Shanghainese that even they couldn't hear, but with a Westerner's face. They were even more flattered to buy them breakfast, they were just ordinary soldiers, and how could they have thought that they would be treated with the care of their distinguished guests? Yelena let them eat, and then put the steamer and dishes by the sink, and she washed them and sent them back. A few people hurriedly said that they would wash themselves, but Yelena told them not to worry, because she also ate Chinese-style breakfast.

When Yelena entered the living room early, she found that the three men had finally gotten up, and although they were dressed in civilian clothes, they still looked very gentlemanly after washing. It's just that Volkov's face is not good, and I don't know for what.

"Wow, Terekina, did you come back with breakfast? it smells so good!" shouted Sokolov, of course, and it was Yantyuk who came directly to grab it, as if to help her, Yelena gave her a heavy basket, and carried the oiled paper bag herself,

Yelena smiled, put all the breakfast she was carrying on the table, and then cleaned up the map and various papers and notebooks on the table, Volkov changed into a light gray shirt, while Sokolov and Yantyuk were very far-sighted and wore white short-sleeved shirts, Yelena put away the map and the like, looked back, almost angry, several big men could stuff two shrimp dumplings in their mouths in one bite, she turned around for a while, and the small cage drawers were stacked up five or six. In the end, the bread and milk that they bought for them could only be eaten by Yelena, and they were complaining that Yelena had bought less.

After breakfast, Yelena took a guard to return the tableware, bought a few snacks by the way, put herbal tea in the thermos pot, and when she went back, seeing that they were ready to leave, Yelena hurriedly returned to the room, put the snacks and kettle in the bag, Volkov saw Yelena change of clothes before going out, and carried her big backpack, frowning, today Yelena is wearing a black top, the sleeves are transparent black, and the pants don't know what the material is, but they are gray, I don't know if the two people are wearing couple clothes！

When he arrived at the headquarters, a senior staff officer reported to Volkov on yesterday's battle situation, and under the cover of planes, naval guns, and aircraft on aircraft carriers, the infantry coordinated with tanks and armored vehicles to rush to the beach. The beachhead of the first line of Wusong was registered, and a fierce battle was launched in Luodian, the aircraft artillery bombardment lasted all day, but because there were strong fortifications in several places, the Japanese army's charge again and again was thwarted, and the mines on the shore also played a great role, but this short coastline was too long, and there were still many Japanese troops who successfully landed, gathered after going deeper, and were storming Luodian, at this time Yuepu, Baoshan, and Wusong on the front line were engaged in fierce battles.

Yesterday day, the Japanese army landed at a heavy price, but the Chinese army also suffered heavy casualties, especially the enemy's all-out attacks, the sulfur bombs have turned many villages and towns along the coast into ashes, and the casualties of the troops are not small, the air force lost 22 planes in one day yesterday, Yelena listened to it, and suddenly felt very powerless.

One morning, I was listening to the reports of all parties, and at nine o'clock in the morning, Li Baohua asked people to send Yelena a roll of drawings, and when I opened it, I realized that it was a map of the hidden forts and fortifications built near Shanghai, among them, the fortifications in Luodian and Dachang were the strongest. Yelena asked Volkov to study these fortifications, hoping to hear his instructions, Volkov looked very carefully, and said to Yelena,

"It's very well repaired and the design is perfect. ”

"And then, do you think there's anything that needs to be reinforced?" Yelena was anxious,

Volkov shook his head and said to Yelena, "This Songhu area, a peninsula with a narrow area, dense water network and swamps, is not suitable for large-scale operations, I think the Chinese army can only be beaten passively, there is no room for maneuver, and the Japanese are probably happy to gather all the elites of the Chinese army here." The terrain here is flat, there is no danger to defend, no matter how strong the ground fortifications are, they will not be able to support it for long, and strong fortifications do not mean that you can win the battle, you should be clear, but I don't understand, you are a smart person, you know that you can't win the battle, why do you still spend so much effort to build fortifications? You have also heard, even with advanced equipment, you still can't win, don't you think of it? I don't believe that you will ignore such an important issue and gamble like a fool?" Yelena didn't know if he was scolding herself or the chairman, but she had a reason, and while rolling up the drawings, she said leisurely,

"All I do is to buy time for ordinary people to retreat, but even if the war is on such a scale, those ordinary residents still don't want to leave, how long can the concession protect them?"

Volkov didn't say anything, looking at Yelena's unsmiling face, it was very uncomfortable, the war had darkened the flowers.

In the next few days, what she heard was the casualties of the Chinese army, the loss of aircraft, and how fierce the enemy's offensive was, Yelena knew that China's biggest flaw was that it was unable to be self-sufficient in weapons and equipment, Yelena heard about the loss of planes, heard about the sacrificed pilots, many of whom she knew, and there were people who drove seriously injured planes to crash warships, or took injured planes to crash enemy planes, China's kamikaze special forces, why did it sound so distressing?

A few days later, Yelena heard that Baoshan was in danger, and immediately couldn't sit still, she followed Volkov back from the big field, and heard the news as soon as she arrived at the headquarters, at this time their headquarters had been changed to Nanxiang, and the chairman personally sat in charge, they were concerned about Baoshan, but they definitely didn't care about Yelena, because there was Fu Xin there, her eldest nephew! This aunt is not called in vain.

Under the condition that there is no sea and air supremacy, the surrender of more than 700,000 troops to such a peninsula with a narrow area, dense water networks, and swamps can only be passively beaten, and there is no room for maneuver, which is precisely in line with the strategic plan of Japanese militarism to achieve a quick victory and gather together to annihilate it. The Songhu battlefield was flat and undefendable, and it was not easy to construct ground fortifications, which increased the difficulty of defensive operations. Under these conditions, China's hundreds of thousands of troops did not make a deep echelon deployment or carry out campaign maneuvers, and in addition, the front-line troops were too close to the coast and river banks, and were attacked by Japanese ships and artillery for a long time, which increased the casualties in vain. After 23 August, China's various units were tightly bitten by the Japanese army and could not get out, often fighting bloody battles for the gains and losses of one city and one place, and their own subjective initiative was greatly restricted, and they were powerless to change the situation on the battlefield. The only active attack was also lost due to poor organization and command, and there was no turnaround after that.

However, in the whole battle, Chiang Kai-shek adopted the tactic of adding fuel one after another, only counterattacks in campaigns and battles without strategic offensives, and battles were mostly carried out in the form of short and sudden attacks; with such rigid strategic and tactical guidance, how could the Chinese army not be passive everywhere and be controlled by others everywhere? And how could a passive defensive army that had lost the initiative not fail? After all, some of the initiatives of the Chinese army in the campaign and battle could not make up for Chiang Kai-shek's passivity in strategic guidance, and this would inevitably lead to defeat.

During the three-month battle of Songhu, a small number of troops or staff supervisors were not sent to seriously and practically inspect the defense fortifications in the Yangtze River Delta, to organize and prepare the necessary before the battle, and to plan the overall defense. As a result, after the Chinese army retreated from the Shanghai area to the defensive line, it found that it could not smoothly enter the position to meet the battle, and there was no support and response, and the troops could not use these defense lines to fight at all. Shanghai was lost, Nanjing was devastated, and the door of the country was opened.
