Brush, Liu Jun, who had finished reading the telegram, put the telegram on the table, closed his eyes and began to ponder.

What intelligence? Zheng Yiqian, who was on the side, looked at Liu Jun and then at Liu Jun, and then walked up to Zhong Lin: "What's the situation?" ”

Zhong Lin saw that Liu Jun still closed his eyes, so he said: "Sister-in-law, Li He said in the telegram that the Japanese 30th Brigade surrendered after an hour of naval shelling, and Li He discussed with the commander of the 23rd Army whether the 30th Brigade of the Japanese Army could be reorganized. Become one of the forces attacking the Ryukyus. ”

It turned out that this was the case, Zheng Yiqian nodded, and from Zhong Lin's mouth, Zheng Yiqian heard that Li He hoped to learn from Ding Ruchang's practice of reorganizing the First Army of the Japanese Army and reorganizing the 30th Brigade into the Japanese puppet army. Serve yourself and attack Japan.

"What do you think?" Liu Jun finally opened his eyes and handed the telegram on the table to Zheng Yiqian.

Zheng Yiqian already knew the situation, but after taking the telegram and reading it twice, she put the telegram aside: "I have no opinion, we currently only have the 23rd Army on Tanegashima, and it is more than enough to occupy Tanegashima alone, but to attack the Ryukyus, I am afraid that the troops will be insufficient, so Li He's proposal can be regarded as making up for the shortcomings in this regard." ”

"I agree with my sister-in-law's statement, the 30th Brigade of the Japanese Army is nominally a brigade, but the actual strength is only half of the strength of the brigade, which is still the strength of two regiments, and we can just reorganize it, and then cooperate with a brigade of the 23rd Army, with the assistance of the navy, to attack the Ryukyus, so that we can save time."

Zhong Lin said very reasonably, the 25th Army has not yet set off, if Tanegashima has been waiting for the 25th Army, it will take several days, a few days, maybe the Japanese army in the Ryukyu Islands has already been prepared, and by that time, it will be a little difficult to attack. What's more, the real purpose of this attack on Tanegashima was to attack Sasebo with submarines, and if the German fleet was present, the submarines would really not be able to transport them over. Therefore, the German fleet could be allowed to cooperate and attack the Ryukyus, and during this time, the submarine took the opportunity to enter Tanegashima and stand by, and then attack the Japanese Sasebo and destroy the combined fleet.

"Call back, agreed." After saying this, Liu Jun lowered his head and thought for a while: "Give Li He a secret telegram, the navy attacking the Ryukyus can let the German fleet be responsible." ”

Both of them understood what Liu Jun meant by this, and without the slightest hesitation, Zhong Lin quickly wrote the order on the document, turned around and walked out.

Tanegashima Port, a dilapidated port that has been bombed, more than 30 warships of the First Fleet of Liaodong are lined up in a row, quietly moored there, and in the port, several warships flying the German Navy flag and the Liaodong Yellow Dragon Flag are swimming on the sea surface to escort the waters around Tanegashima.

On the bridge of the Hongzhang, although the sun was shining directly, Li He still held his discipline tightly. Do not reveal any practices that damage the temperament of soldiers

Squeak, there was a sound of the iron door opening and then closing from the conning tower, at this time, it was already five days in the afternoon, Wilhelm had already gone to the German fleet to celebrate, so the door was opened now, Li He estimated that it was Yan Fu, and sure enough, Li He, who turned the sound, saw that Yan Fu, who was wearing white short sleeves, walked over without a military hat, and in his right hand, he also took a telegram.

"The marshal telegraphed, agreeing to reorganize the 30th Brigade." After Yan Fu finished speaking, he landed the telegram in his hand.

Li He looked at it, nodded slightly, and shifted his gaze to the makeshift prisoner of war camp on the beach in the distance.

The entire prisoner of war camp, more than 200 meters long and 100 meters wide, was surrounded by a wooden fence around Tanegashima, and on all sides, there were nearly 20-meter-high observation platforms with machine guns erected on them, and on the sea, there were at least 15 warships' artillery aimed at the prisoner of war camp.

No one dares to guarantee that this group of more than 4,000 Japanese troops will not have bad intentions and then escape, so this is also to deal with it.

But it seems that he is too careful, since these Japanese soldiers entered, they don't run at all, they just eat and drink every day. ”

In this way, he will be able to attack Ryukyu in advance, thinking of this, Li He looked at Yan Fu and was about to give an order, when he found out that Yan Fu still had a telegram in his hand.

"What is this?" Li He asked suspiciously.

"The commander has a secret telegram, and the cooperating force attacking the Ryukyu Islands can be handed over to the German fleet." Yan Fu said with the telegram in his hand again.

With the German fleet, Li He was a little puzzled, but when he looked down, he understood Liu Jun's intentions, which was one of the typical ways to take the German fleet away, and then let the submarine stay on Tanegashima without being discovered.

The great commander is really God, and this important problem has been relieved of our navy at once. Speaking of this, Li He looked at the two telegrams again and said to Yan Fu: "Let Tang Linmin come to see me." ”

Tang Linmin, the original garrison of Haicheng, after the Japanese army occupied Haicheng, Tang Linmin, who did not want to retreat, took more than 30 of his brothers to retreat to the dense forest, and the Japanese army launched guerrilla tactics, after Haicheng was recovered, he returned to Haicheng and joined the Liaodong Army at that time. After the establishment of Lushun Military Academy, under the recommendation of Ding Ruchang and Liu Jun's instructions, Tang Linmin entered the first phase of Lushun Military Academy. After graduation, he successively served as regiment commander, brigade commander, and division commander. Half a year ago, he was ordered to serve as the commander of the 23rd Army of the Liaodong Army.

The 23rd Army was originally a unit belonging to Yiketanga, but after the reorganization, it did not return to Shengjing, but was stationed around Lushun, and after directly surrendering to Liu Jun, the 23rd Army was stationed in Tianjin.

Tang Linmin's office was originally the headquarters of the 30th Brigade of the Japanese Army in Tanegashima, so after nodding, Yan Fu turned around and walked out, got into a dinghy, and went to inform Tang Linmin in person.

After receiving the news, Tang Linmin immediately put down his work and came to the office of the Hongzhang battleship headquarters with Yan Fu.

"You see, the marshal has agreed to let us change the 30th Brigade of the Japanese Army." Li He, who had been waiting in the office, saw Tang Linmin walk in, and handed the telegram in his hand to Tang Linmin.

Tang Linmin picked it up and looked at it, and put the telegram on the table: "You see how much adaptation is appropriate." ”

How much is appropriate, this should be a question for your army, but since Tang Linmin has already asked, Li He thought about it and said, "How many troops do you think it takes to attack the Ryukyus?" ”

Understood, Tang Linmin nodded.

"How much time do you need?" Seeing Tang Linmin nodding, Li He asked the most important question? How much time does the adaptation take.
