Ten minutes later, with the rise of two flares, the devil began to attack. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since the battlefield of the battle was in the western area of the concession, the little devil did not dare to prepare for conventional artillery fire before the attack, but directly launched an attack with infantry as soon as he came up, which is also the reason why Kojima Jun strongly objected, because without the premise of artillery preparation, street fighting is extremely unfavorable for the attacking side.

But Kojima Jun is not the supreme commander of this rescue operation, he can only obey orders.

The battle soon entered a white-hot heat, and after more than two years of actual combat training, the little devils of the Ninth Division have greatly improved their tactical quality, especially those veterans who have returned from injuries, and they have extremely rich combat experience, whether it is the cooperation between individual soldiers or the use of firepower, it is simply to the extent of reaching the peak.

It's just that the little devil's opponent this time is not a vegetarian.

Although the Gurkha royal infantry battalion was completely defeated by the lone battalion, it was actually defeated very unjustly.

If it weren't for Song Ziwen's cooperation with the lone battalion and the perfect deception of the Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion, if it weren't for Ferguson and all the British middle-level officers being put in a pot, the Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion would not have been defeated at all, even if it was defeated in the end, it would never have been defeated so badly, and it was precisely because of this that Ferguson was angry.

But this time, the Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion did not underestimate the enemy, but exerted all its combat effectiveness, and even, because Xu Rui replaced the battalion and company officers, the fighting will of the entire Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion became more resolute and the combat effectiveness became stronger, so this time the devil also met the opponent.

At the beginning of the battle, the Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion showed a tenacious will to fight in actual combat, no matter how fierce the devil's offensive was, they always insisted on their position, and several times, even broke out with the devil in a white-knuckle battle, which would have collapsed many times if it had been replaced by an Australian or Canadian servant army.

The devils stormed for half an hour, and the defense line of the Gurkha royal infantry battalion was immovable.

At this time, Shadow Zo Zhenzhao was like a gambler who had lost a red eye, and bet one of the remaining two infantry squadrons on it, and the entry point was selected at the junction of the front position and the right flank of the Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion.

It's a pity that before Ying Zuo Zhenzhao put in the last half of the infantry squadron to launch a general attack, the main force of the lone army battalion that had already quietly moved to the flank of the devil under the cover of night launched a general attack.

In just a moment, the devil was defeated.

At the same time, in Chongqing.

Although the US minister Jensen left in a bad mood, Chairman Chiang was not busy at all, because after the first round of confrontation with Jensen, the Nationalist Government had basically figured out the bottom line of the United States or Britain, that is, to fight for as many rights and interests as possible without resorting to force, so Chairman Chiang had nothing to worry about.

As long as there is no full-scale war between China and Britain, what is there to worry about?

In other words, there is no doubt that the US Minister Jensen will return to the negotiating table sooner or later, but the Lone Army Camp must be contacted as soon as possible, and their bottom line must also be found out as soon as possible.

This matter can only be handed over to the Shanghai Station of the Military Command.

However, Chairman Jiang waited until late at night, and did not wait for the military commander to reply, so he couldn't help but ask Wang Shihe, the chief of the guard: "Shihe, is there still no news from the military commander?" ”

Wang Shihe took a step forward and replied in a low voice: "Commission, I called and asked just now, and Boss Dai said that he would come over soon, and there should be the latest news about the lonely military camp." ”

Chairman Jiang said, "Then I'll wait for him to come." ”

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Dai Li hurried to arrive.

"Take a seat." Dai Li took off his wide-brimmed top hat and bowed to Chairman Chiang.

Chairman Jiang waved his hand and asked, "Yunong, have you contacted the lonely military camp?" ”

Dai Li shook his head and said, "Commission, when Wang Tianmu rushed over, the main force of the lonely army camp had already left, so I couldn't see the commander of the lonely army camp, and the communication channel couldn't be built. ”

"Left?" Two black lines immediately floated on Chairman Jiang's head, "What's going on?" ”

Dai Li gasped and said: "According to the information obtained by the Shanghai District, the Lone Army Camp went to cross the border to build roads, so I speculate that it should be the devils who have made a move, and the Lone Army Camp is most likely going to meet the devils." ”

"Fighting the devil?" Chairman Jiang said in a lost voice, "The devil dares to fight the concession? ”

Dai Li said in a deep voice: "Directly launch a military attack and then occupy the concession militarily, the devil probably doesn't dare, but find an excuse to enter the concession office, I believe they dare, if they wear civilian clothes again, then they have no scruples, so I suspect that the devil wants to take the opportunity to enter the concession and muddy the water." ”

Dai Li, who is worthy of being an old intelligence officer, is still very accurate in his judgment.

The operation of the Japanese army can be said to be top secret, although this operation recruited the 76th agent to participate, but before the operation began, the 76th agent did not know what the specific mission was, and after the operation began, the 76th agent was completely cut off from the outside world, and no news could be sent.

So far, the military command has not received any information.

The Communist Party is also because of the existence of a shadow as a senior spy, otherwise it would have been kept in the dark, which also shows that Dai Li, an old intelligence officer, is powerful, just relying on some clues, he basically guessed the truth, and this ability can really be said to be something that few people can match.

Chairman Jiang frowned and said, "Then this matter is complicated. ”

"It's complicated." Dai Li said in a deep voice, "The little devils entered the concession, not necessarily to save people, I am afraid that instead of saving people, they will take the opportunity to kill people, and then frame them in the lone military camp, so that the trouble will be big, even if the Western governments know that this is done by the Japanese, most of the public opinion in the West will be coerced by the people who do not know the truth, and then they will have to make decisions that are unfavorable to us and China, and even isolate us." ”

Chairman Chiang's face immediately darkened when he heard this.

But at this moment, the telephone on the desk suddenly rang.

Wang Shihe walked over and grabbed the phone: "Hello, this is the chairman's chamber." ”

After a while, Wang Shihe's face suddenly showed a strange look, and then he covered the microphone and turned his head to Chairman Jiang and Dai Li, and said, "Commission, Boss Dai, the call is from Director Mao." ”

"Mao Renfeng?" Dai Li's expression moved slightly, and he asked, "What did he say?" ”

Wang Shihe said: "Director Mao just said on the phone that the devil was defeated by the lonely military camp. ”

"Really? The lone army camp defeated the devil? Chairman Jiang couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, fortunately, the worst case did not happen, otherwise, if the devil was really allowed to enter the concession and kill the hostages taken by the lonely military camp, then China's trouble would really be big, fortunately, the lonely military camp defeated the little devil.

Chairman Jiang was in a good mood, and Dai Li and Wang Shihe's mood also became better.

Dai Li said: "Commission, although the lonely military camp is disobedient, its combat effectiveness is still excellent. ”

"Well, the lone military camp is the old foundation of the 88th Division!" Chairman Jiang nodded, and then said, "By the way, what is the origin of that commander?" When did a commander emerge from the lone barracks? ”

Dai Li immediately whispered: "Commission, the humble position has been asked by Wang Tianmu to investigate, but until now, the details of this commander have not been found, but according to my analysis, this commander is likely not to be from the lone military camp, but the lone military camp that joined later, and the reason why the lone military camp can escape from prison is mostly related to this commander." ”

Chairman Jiang frowned and said, "Why do you say that? Why wouldn't this commander be a lone barracksman? ”

Dai Li analyzed: "The reason is very simple, the lone army battalion is the old unit of the 88th Division, and the 88th Division has always been strictly disciplined, and the subordinates are absolutely obedient to the superiors, in this case, how can there be soldiers above Xie Yuan, the battalion commander, and become the commander of the lone army battalion?" It's completely illogical. ”

"Well, that's right." Chairman Jiang thought deeply and said, "Then you say, what is the origin of this commander?" ”

"It's hard to say." Dai Li shook his head and said, "He may be a veteran of other troops, a certain Green Gang boss, or a spy of Wang Puppet No. 76, or even a member of the Communist Party. ”

Chairman Chiang's face immediately sank, because according to Dai Li's analysis, this commander is the most likely to be a member of the Communist Party, which is not a good thing for Chairman Chiang and the Nationalist Army.

Of course, even if the lone military camp really joined the Communist Party, it would not be easy for it to gain a firm foothold in Shanghai, because Shanghai is the largest international metropolis in the Far East, and its prosperity is even better than that of Tokyo, and not only Western countries attach great importance to it, but even small Japan attaches great importance to Shanghai, so little Japan will never tolerate the armed invasion of Shanghai by the Communist Party.

However, Chairman Jiang was still angry, and said to Dai Li with a black face: "Immediately go through the matter, you must find out the origin of this commander, if it is a Communist Party ......" After a pause, he continued, "Yu Nong, what should I do next, I don't need to tell you, right?" ”

"Yes." Dai Li replied with great respect, "I know what to do. ”

"Hmm." Chairman Jiang nodded lightly and said, "Then you go and get busy." ”

"Yes, retire from your duties." Dai Li bowed slightly again, turned and left.
