Chairman Chiang sat back in his chair in a gloomy manner, and the idea of declaring war on Japan was completely absent in his mind, if the Soviet Far Eastern Front was doomed to defeat, and if the entire Far East was destined to fall into the hands of the Japanese, then what a fart war would be declared? Once war is declared, won't it even more offend the Japanese to death? At that time, there will be even less hope for peace talks. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

I have to say that Chairman Chiang was very naïve, and at this time he was still thinking about peace talks with the Japanese, and even if the Japanese really agreed to peace talks, it was not impossible to consider allowing autonomy in North and Central China.

At this time, Dai Li whispered again: "Commission, there is another important news here." ”

Chairman Jiang raised his head a little blankly, glanced at Dai Li, and asked, "What else is the news?" ”

Dai Li said: "Xu Rui, who had been missing before, had been transferred to the Songhu area. ”

"Transferred to the Songhu area?" Chairman Jiang was surprised, "No, if Xu Rui is really transferred to Songhu, how can Songhu be so quiet?" Still not to be turned upside down by him? ”

Regarding Xu Rui's character, Chairman Jiang also understands that this kid refuses to live in peace wherever he goes, and he has to turn the place upside down.

Dai Li said: "The Songhu area has been turned upside down. ”

Chairman Jiang said blankly: "Yunong, what do you mean by this?" ”

It is no secret that the Communist Party also has guerrilla forces in the Songhu area, but under the contact and strangulation of Wang's puppet army and the Japanese army, the Songhu guerrilla detachment of the Chinese Communist Party has already suffered heavy losses, and since a few months ago, there has been no public activity.

Dai Li whispered: "It's not negligent to be on the seat, Shanghai is also in the Songhu area!" ”

"Shanghai?" Chairman Chiang and the three major aides looked at each other and did not react at all, because when it came to the communist guerrilla forces, their first reaction was that the guerrillas in the mountainous areas were as strong as Xu Rui, and at the beginning they could only gain a foothold in Dameishan, but they did not dare to directly occupy a certain county town and settle down, because they did not have the strength.

Therefore, Chairman Chiang and the others did not go to Shanghai at all, how could Shanghai fight guerrillas?

However, after Dai Li's reminder, Chairman Jiang and the others immediately reacted.

Bai Chongxi was the first to react, and immediately shouted loudly: "The commander of the lone military camp is Xu Rui?!" ”

"That's what happened!" Chen Cheng and He Yingqin also reacted one after another, their faces full of surprise.

"Niang Xipi, I said why is the lonely military camp so bold all of a sudden!" Jiang Wei reacted the slowest but most intensely, slammed the table and got up again and said, "It turns out that it has been secretly co-opted by the Communist Party a long time ago!" ”

After Chen Cheng was shocked, he was shocked, and said in shock: "Bench, this matter must not sit idly by." ”

Chairman Chiang deeply believes that this matter really cannot be underestimated, because you must know that Shanghai is now the largest international metropolis in the entire Far East, even larger than Tokyo, and its position in the world order is far above Tokyo, which means that every move of the lone military camp in Shanghai may be magnified and then quickly spread to every corner of the world.

Or to put it more bluntly, if the lone army camp can fight a small battle in Shanghai, there is no need for a large battle involving hundreds of divisions like the Battle of Songhu, only a small battle involving one or two divisions, and the influence of the Communist forces in the international community will be greatly enhanced!

So, does the Communist Party have the ability to fight a small battle in Shanghai?

With Xu Rui's command attainments and influence, this is entirely possible.

Although it is the second time for the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to cooperate, Chairman Chiang has never relaxed his vigilance against the CCP, and in a word, local warlords like Yan Xishan and Li Zongren will at most disgust him, and it is absolutely impossible to threaten his leadership position, but the Communist Party may shake the foundation of his rule.

Therefore, Chairman Chiang will never allow the communist armed forces to sit big in Shanghai!

However, because the lone army camp was hidden deep in the Shanghai Public Concession, the military strength of the Nationalist Army was simply out of reach, so there were not many methods that Chairman Chiang could use, and the only feasible way was to send a hurricane team to assassinate him!

At that moment, Chairman Jiang said: "Yunong, telegraph to Wang Tianmu to immediately cancel the assassination of the top officials of Wang's puppet government, and use all the backbone forces of the hurricane team to assassinate Xu Rui, and get rid of Xu Rui at any cost and by unscrupulous means!" Oh yes, and that poppy you mentioned earlier is going to be sent to Shanghai right away. ”

After a slight pause, Chairman Jiang continued: "With a two-pronged approach, we must get rid of Xu Rui!" ”

"Okay, take a seat, and arrange it." Dai Li bowed slightly, then turned around and hurried away.

Chairman Jiang thought for a while, and then said to He Yingqin: "Respectfully, immediately tell the Japanese the news that Xu Rui is the commander of the lone military camp through the Wang puppet government, doesn't the Japanese emperor regard Xu Rui as a mortal enemy of the empire?" Maybe after the Japanese know the news, they are more anxious than us to get rid of Xu Rui, so we don't need to bother. ”

"Okay." He Yingqin nodded and said, "Let's arrange it." ”

Seeing He Yingqin's figure leaving, Chairman Jiang smiled and said, Xu Rui, Xu Rui, I have a three-pronged approach, but I want to see, how can you escape this catastrophe?

(Dividing Line)

Only two hours later, the news that Xu Rui was the commander of the Lone Army Battalion (Patrol Battalion) reached the Shanghai Zhongcun Office.

After Ying Zuozhen heard the news, he came to Nakamura Jun's office as soon as possible, and reported: "Your Excellency, you have just received a top-secret news that the commander of the patrol battalion is actually Xu Rui!" ”

"Nani?" Nakamura Jun pretended to be taken aback, and said in a lost voice, "Xu Rui turned out to be the commander of the patrol battalion?" ”

To be honest, the news that Xu Rui is the commander of the patrol battalion can be concealed until now, Nakamura Jun has been very surprised, which is enough to show that Xu Rui is still very cautious, but Xu Rui is no matter how cautious he is, after all, he still exposed the flaws, and after all, he still let others know that he is the commander of the patrol battalion.

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency General, if this news is true, the situation in Shanghai will be grim, the patrol camp is backed by the protection of the concession, it is already very difficult, if you add Xu Rui's command, it will be even more terrifying, this is no longer one plus one equals two, but equal to three or even four!" ”

"Not really." Nakamura Jun frowned and said, "Xu Rui is powerful, but he is better at jungle warfare and mountain warfare, but urban warfare is not his forte, about this, from the fact that he did not have any outstanding performance when he was in Wuxi, it can be concluded that Shanghai is a lonely city, it really can't be done, the imperial army is a big deal to completely blockade Shanghai, there are no reinforcements outside the patrol camp and there is no military supply inside, and it will be defeated by itself in a few months." ”

"Your Excellency General, you can't help but be too optimistic!" Ying Zuo Zhenzhao retorted very unceremoniously, "In Wuxi, Xu Rui really didn't have much performance in urban battles, but this doesn't prove that he is not good at commanding urban battles, as for the reinforcements and military supplies, ......."

After a pause, Kagezo Zhenzhao continued: "Your Excellency General, don't forget, there are tens of thousands of veterans of the National Army stranded in the Public Concession and the French Concession!" In addition, just yesterday evening, five 10,000-ton cargo ships of the US-British Tobacco Company arrived in Shanghai, and although the US-British Tobacco Company claimed that the ships were loaded with daily necessities, as far as I know, they were all arms! ”

"Reliable information?" Nakamura Jun exclaimed, this time it was not pretended, but it was really surprised.

Jun Nakamura didn't expect that Xu Rui would have such a big deal to buy 50,000 tons of arms from the United States alone! Xu Rui: What do you want to do? Want to fight the Japanese army in Shanghai for five years?

Kagesa Zhenzhao said: "The news is still being verified, but the possibility is very high!" ”

"If that's the case, then the situation in Shanghai is really grim. ”

It's not that Nakamura Jun doesn't want to continue to cover up for Xu Rui, but at this point, Xu Rui is almost about to show up with the Japanese army, and there is no way to continue to cover up.

Kagezo Zhenzhao said: "Your Excellency, I suggest that this news be reported to the headquarters and base camp of the Dispatch Army immediately, and then request that the Command of the Dispatch Army immediately transfer a heavy group of troops to Shanghai, and break through the patrol camp with lightning speed. ”

"It's certain that this news will be sent to the headquarters and base camp of the Command Army, but it is ...... to transfer heavy troops to Shanghai," Nakamura Jun paused when he said this, and then said, "I'm afraid it's unlikely at the moment, you also know that the Kwantung Army's military operation in Dongmeng has just begun, and at this time, the base camp has no time to take care of anything else." ”

"Even if you can't mobilize heavy troops, it's always okay to transfer one or two divisions." Ying Zuozhen said stubbornly, "In this way, with the addition of the Kanazawa Division, Shanghai will have the strength of three divisions, which is almost enough." ”

"Ying Zuojun, what you said is reasonable, then immediately call the Central China Dispatch Headquarters and the base camp." Nakamura Jun nodded slightly, and continued, "But I have to remind you that now that the empire has officially declared war 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, Nakamura Jun said again: "So, unless authorized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it is absolutely not allowed to stir up trouble in the public concession, let alone send troops into the public concession at will, do you understand?" ”

"Hello." Ying Zuozhen Zhao paused and said, "I understand my humble duties. ”

After saying that, Kagezo Zhenzhao turned around and walked away.
