Chapter Seventy-Seven: Betrayed

Dai Li didn't dare to deceive Chairman Jiang, he said honestly: "The information was provided by the commander of the Huben battalion, Xia Chao. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

As soon as he heard the news provided by the Xia Dynasty, He Yingqin's first reaction was to oppose it, but after many battles, he had never won on the issue of the Xia Dynasty, so he thought about it and did not say anything.

Chairman Jiang still trusts Xia Chao now, after all, the information he provided in the past is very accurate. However, the stakes were so high that he ordered Zhang Zhizhong to rush to Nanjing immediately with Xia Chao.

The next morning, Zhang Zhizhong and Xia Chao came to the Military Commission, and Chairman Chiang received them in the war room as usual.

Dai Li saw Xia Chao and showed an embarrassed smile. Natsu nodded with a smile in understanding.

When Chen Cheng saw Xia Chao, he said: "The Heavenly Empire, the matter is very important, and the news must be true. He was reminding Xia Chao that if the intelligence source is not absolutely sure, don't say it, this is a great responsibility.

Chairman Chiang chatted with Zhang Zhizhong for a few moments, and then asked him about the preparations of the Ninth Army. Zhang Zhizhong made reports one by one.

It's summer turn. As soon as he saw Chairman Jiang's gaze turned to him, he immediately went over and stood upright, and reported in a standard military posture: "Report to Chairman of the Committee, the students salute you in the summer!" ”

Chairman Chiang likes his subordinates to have a strict appearance, and he himself usually attaches great importance to appearance, and no matter what the occasion, his style and discipline are tightly fastened. He said happily: "Celestial Empire, very good, playing well in Shanghai." Worthy of being my student! ”

Xia Chao said: "Thank you for the chairman's praise, the students are all cultivated by the chairman. ”

Chairman Chiang asked: "Celestial Empire, is the information on the landing site of the Japanese army accurate?" ”

Xia Chao said: "Absolutely accurate? ”

Chairman Chiang asked, "Why did they choose to land at these two locations?" ”

Xia Chao said: "There are three reasons:

First, surprisingly, they thought that we didn't expect them to land here, so they chose this place to achieve the effect of a surprise attack. ”

He Yingqin interjected and asked: "The mines on the Yangtze River and the fort at Wusongkou, how do they deal with it?" ”

Xia Chao said: "The strength of the Japanese air force is strong, and no matter how powerful the artillery of the Wusongkou Fort is, it can only threaten the Japanese navy, but what can be done about the Japanese air force?" As long as the Japanese air force carried out a large-scale bombing, such a fixed target as the Wusongkou Fort would be destroyed immediately.

As for the mines on the Yangtze River waterway, when the Wusongkou Fort was destroyed, our navy was weak and could not pose a threat to the Japanese army, and the Japanese minesweepers could calmly sweep the mines. ”

Chairman Jiang said: "Go on. ”

Xia Chao said: "Second, the Japanese army chose to land on the bank of the Yangtze River, which can greatly exert the power of naval guns and effectively support their landing operations.

Third, the Chuanshakou and Wusongkou railway wharves were chosen at the same time because they were not far away, so that they could cooperate with each other, control a wide area, and cover the landing of their follow-up troops and supplies. ”

Chairman Jiang turned around and said, "Well, that makes sense. ”

Chen Cheng said: "I also think that landing in these two places is beneficial to the Japanese army. ”

Feng Yuxiang said: "We should readjust the deployment according to this information. ”

He Yingqin asked, "Is the source of your situation reliable?" ”

Xia Chao said: "Absolutely reliable, I have an internal response at the top of the Japanese army. ”

Chairman Chiang asked with interest: "Who do you know at the top of the Japanese army?" Everyone looked at Xia Chao with great interest. Among them, the one who was most eager to know the secrets of the Xia Dynasty was Dai Li, and he couldn't understand why the Xia Dynasty was able to get such important information.

To everyone's disappointment, Xia Chao said: "Report to the chairman, this matter involves my life in the Japanese army, and I can't reveal his name for the time being, please forgive me." ”

Chairman Jiang looked at the war room, and there were still many staff officers looking here, nodded and said, "Well, keep it secret." ”

Next, Chairman Jiang and the senior members had to study the next operational deployment, and there would be nothing to do with the small soldier of the Xia Dynasty, and Wang Shihe was ready to withdraw with the Xia Dynasty.

At this time, Zhang Zhizhong said: "Wait a minute. Chairman of the National Committee, regarding the Battle of Songhu, the Xia Dynasty has some suggestions, shall we listen to them? ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Zhizhong offended a group of people. Formulating operational arrangements is a matter for the General Staff of the Military Commission, and the fact that the Xia Dynasty provided information on the landing sites of the Japanese troops made the operational plans painstakingly drawn up by the General Staff come to naught. They are very faceless.

Now that the situation is clear, what qualifications does the summer have to speak to a small lieutenant colonel?

Chairman Jiang still attached great importance to Zhang Zhizhong's opinions, he looked at Xia Chao and said: "Do you know the combat plan formulated by the Military Commission? What do you think? ”

Zhang Zhizhong said: "I didn't tell him, he guessed it himself." His remarks meant two things: First, I, Zhang Zhizhong, would not casually leak the secrets of the Military Commission to a small lieutenant colonel; Second, Xia Chao was able to guess the military committee's combat intentions on his own, which showed that he was talented, so his opinions could be heard.

Xia Chao said what he had talked to Zhang Zhizhong again. As a result, as he expected, he poured cold water on the Battle of Songhu, which made Chairman Chiang feel bad.

Looking at it in the summer, yes, to be honest, it's not likeable. Anyway, I tried my best, so be it. So he said goodbye and prepared to go to the Military Commission Guest House, wait for Zhang Zhizhong to come out, and return to Shanghai together.

As soon as he went out, he saw Dai Li waiting outside, and Xia Chao stepped forward to salute him, but Dai Li grabbed his hand and said, "Senior Brother Xia, don't be polite to me." We are our own brothers. Hey, today's matter, it's not my brother and I betray you, it's really a big deal, so I have to let you say it yourself. ”

Xia Chao smiled: "Understood." I have to thank you for this, no matter what, they also provided information to the Military Commission, and as for how to make decisions, it is their business. ”

Dai Li said: "Brother, how about my brother picking you up today?" ”

Xia Chao said: "I'm afraid it won't work today, Chief Zhang will come out in a while, and it is estimated that he will return to Shanghai soon, next time." ”

Dai Li said: "Okay, next time I go back to Nanjing, I will definitely come to my brother and me." ”

Xia Chao said goodbye to Dai Li, and as soon as he returned to the guest house, he saw Zheng Lanni and Chen Shuming waiting for him, and unexpectedly, Miss Lina, General Wei Caier's secretary, was also there, and her expression was serious.

Xia Chao greeted them and asked, "Why are you here?" This is mainly for Lina.

Lina said eagerly: "Summer Dynasty, you must not go to Germany!" ”
