Feng Heng, chief of the General Staff, and several chiefs of the General Staff were discussing the idea of fighting against Japan, and after Wang Yongan came over, everyone stood up and saluted, and Wang Yongan said: "You continue to discuss, and I will observe." "So Feng Heng asked Su Lansheng, the head of the Operations Division, to continue, and Su Lansheng said: "Just now we mentioned that it is unlikely that the Japanese 16th Division and the 17th Division will land at Langshan Port, so if the Japanese choose to land, our Operations Office thinks that they will land in Dongyu, and the sea depth in Dongyu is suitable for large warships, so I judge that with the heavy equipment of the 16th and 17th Divisions, they need a place that is easier to get closer to the shore......"www.biquge.info

After Wang Yongan listened to the discussion of the officers of the General Staff, he saw that Liu Tong was coming again, his face was strange, Wang Yongan summoned him over, and after Liu Tong came, he said in Wang Yongan's ear: "Li Shirui will ask for war again, and he will guarantee with his life that Japan will inevitably launch a general attack on Nantong within three days, and if we do not take advantage of this fog to storm the opponent, our department will inevitably be threatened by the Japanese at the negotiation table in the future." ”

Wang Yongan said: "I know. The officers stopped talking and looked at Wang Yongan, who turned around, looked at everyone, and said, "Everyone, are you also discussing whether the Japanese will stop?" ”

Feng Heng shook his head and said, "Yun Shuai, we are not talking about the Japanese stopping, but discussing how the Japanese will continue to attack. ”

"Oh?" Wang Yongan stretched his waist and said, "Your judgment is that the Japanese will continue to attack?" ”

"Yes, I will definitely continue to attack." Feng Heng said, "I am a soldier, if I have such a good opportunity in front of me and can make contributions, I will definitely not stop." The commander of the Japanese crusade army is General Uehara Yusaku, which I still know a little about, he is known as the father of Japanese engineers, in the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War as the Japanese engineer supervisor Li Xia Hehe credit, and later because of his father-in-law General Nozu Michikan was awarded the title of baron, and served as the commander of the 14th Division and the commander of the 7th Division, the Minister of the Japanese Army and other positions. However, although he served as a division commander, he never commanded any army to fight a battle, which is a lifelong regret for a general. ”

"So you think that the Japanese, that is, Yusaku Uehara, will never stop." Wang Yongan asked rhetorically.

"Finally, there is a chance to pinch soft persimmons, it is strange that he will give up, otherwise until he retires, he has achieved the rank of general in his life, and he has not really fought a battle, will he give up?" Feng Heng said with a smile, "And he is a hard-liner representative of the Japanese military department, and he is an iron brother with Prime Minister Katsura Taro, if he wants to fight, Katsura Taro will support him even if he fights hard." ”

Wang Yongan said: "Li Shirui's four urgent telegrams asking for instructions on the war against Japan were all vetoed by me, precisely because there is now a new situation in resolving relations with Japan. ”

Feng Heng persuaded: "Yun Shuai, the Japanese military likes to listen to orders, and now we have not negotiated and discussed with Japan, if we give up the opportunity now, we will give up the initiative in the war." The rest of the people also began to persuade them to fight, Chen Zhaotang laughed on the side and said nothing, Wang Yongan frowned and thought for a long time, turned his head to look at Chen Zhaotang, and said, "Why didn't Shu Gong speak?" ”

Chen Zhaotang sighed: "From the time you brought me to the headquarters, I could guess that the balance in your heart has already been warned, so why should I say more." But if you continue to fight, don't hesitate and fight with all your might. ”

"Hahaha, Shu Gong really knows me." Wang Yongan slapped his face, looked at the time, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and he said with a smile: "Since the Japanese have deciphered our telegraph code, we will give him a trick." From now on, send a telegram to Li Shirui every ten minutes, suspend the attack, and send him a telegram at eleven o'clock to immediately attack. ”

Liu Tong immediately replied yes, everyone was stunned, and then laughed, Wang Yongan said: "Since the Japanese spies have deciphered our telegram, we should immediately change the second set of telegram codes, and the adjutant's department should cheer up." ”

Liu Tong nodded hurriedly yes.

After a fierce ideological struggle, Wang Yongan was still moved by everyone's words, especially the judgment of the General Staff Department must be stronger than that of him, a traverser, for this era, Wang Yongan is just an unpredictable prophet, but the people of this era are more empathetic and understand the times, and understand many people. As far as Wang Yongan was concerned, he did not know about Uehara Yongsaku, but Feng Heng and other officers knew Uehara Yong well, so they made the judgment that Japan would never stop, forcing Wang Yongan to give up the idea of using politics to solve the problem.

Wang Yongan is not a stubborn person who does not understand people's feelings, and his decision to go to war was indeed influenced by everyone, but more importantly, he was not willing to fight with the Japanese powers as a traverser. For his own unwillingness, for the conservatism of Jiangbei, and for the country's forbearance, all kinds of contradictions were intertwined in his heart, and after weighing the pros and cons, Wang Yongan finally decided to listen to the opinions of the officers and launch an attack on Japan.

If we count the invitation to fight at 7 o'clock, by 11 o'clock, Wang Yongan refused Li Shirui to launch a general attack on the Japanese army ten times, and I believe that these ten refusals will definitely confuse the Japanese army. At eleven o'clock in the evening, Wang Yongan believed that even if the Japanese spies heard the telegram of their general attack, they would not have time to react much.

Wang Yongan's worries were unnecessary, he did not know how severe the fog was at this time, and the visibility of less than five meters had caused the army to lose contact with each other, and although the Japanese realized the seriousness of the problem, they could not adjust in time - they did not have time to adjust.

Li Shirui was puzzled when he received a telegram "postponement of the attack" at ten o'clock, and immediately realized what was happening in his brain, but he couldn't believe it, and asked: "Yun Shuai's suspension must not be for us, if I guess correctly, our army's telegram was deciphered by the Japanese, and the Japanese have long been prepared for our every move." ”

"So what are we going to do?" Li Zuzhi asked hurriedly.

Li Shirui waved the telegram and laughed: "Yun Shuai agreed to the general attack, he was persuaded by us, I will guarantee that I will be able to defeat the Japanese, don't let me go to see him with my head." Everyone laughed, and Li Shirui said: "All departments are ready, if the telegram of the general attack is sent, and the command headquarters uses red signal flares as an order, everyone will immediately return to their respective units to prepare for the attack." Qiao Zhen, your Nantong garrison must do a good job of guiding this time, if our army accidentally injures each other, you will be responsible. But if we annihilate the Japanese army this time, you will be the first to do it. ”

"Yes!" Qiao Zhen said excitedly.

Li Shirui smiled evilly: "From now on, as long as the military headquarters sends a postponement of the offensive, we will send a telegram requesting the war, and we will cooperate with the military department to perform this good show." ”
