The entire Guyi Garden covers an area of twenty-seven acres, Chen Cheng's command center is located in the Cuiwei Courtyard in the west, Gu Zhutong's command center is in the Junzi Hall in the southeast, and An Yi's headquarters is arranged in the Plum Blossom Hall in the central and northern regions. The former enemy headquarters in the theater is located in the Wanghe Tower at the south gate of the garden.

The Plum Blossom Hall is a nine-fold cloister architectural structure, consisting of more than ten courtyards connected together. The large rooms to the north have become the conference room, the war room, and the telecommunications room of the An Jiajun army.

At this moment, the conference room was full, and the first cadre colonel of the Second Route Army Command, Lieutenant General Lin Fei, chief of staff of the Southwest Air Force, Major General Jiang Shangmin, chief of staff of the Jiang Defense Command, Major General Xu Yichen, director of the Shanghai Station of the Fourth Department, Major General Yu Zeqing, deputy commander of the Southwest Engineering Corps Command, and Le Cheng, deputy general manager of the Jiangnan Group, had all taken up their posts.

An Yi first read out the order made by the Central Military Commission on the reorganization of the Second Route Army into the First Group Army. In the next month, the entire army will be replaced by group armies or corps, and the First Army will continue to command the southwestern army in the war against Japan, following the scope of authority and responsibility of the Second Route Army.

Lieutenant General Yang Fei, chief of staff of the group army, took a baton and came to the large Yangtze River Delta map hanging on the wall of the conference room, pointed to the specific location, and explained the general situation of the current Songhu battlefield and the location of the various departments of the First Group Army; Deputy Chief of the General Staff Major General Mu Recall spoke about the establishment of the rear reserve forces; Major General Zhou Pingyuan, chief of the quartermaster department of the group army, gave a briefing on the army's logistical support and the allocation of new equipment and new arms.

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing that the other side can win all battles, and after figuring out the current situation of the enemy and us, it is the turn of the participating generals to speak.

An Jin was the first to stand up and gave a detailed report on the implementation of the special operation launched last night in the Japanese concession and along the Huangpu River, and finally said:

"As of 4 o'clock this morning, all of the 981 special combat personnel who participated in the battle, except for 17 who died bravely due to their own reasons or accidents, have returned safely to their starting places. After a night of fighting, more than 1,970 enemy troops were annihilated, including one major general, four major generals, six middle lieutenants, nine junior generals, 12 first lieutenants, 17 lieutenants, and 21 second lieutenants, and captured 10 Type 95 light tanks, 28 mortars of various calibers, 54 grenadiers, more than 30 light and heavy guns, and also harvested about 3 million worth of property.

"The most gratifying thing is that the Jiangfang Special Brigade successfully infiltrated the Gaoqiao Port in Pudong and abducted two light cruisers and four destroyers of the Third Fleet of the Navy. Subsequently, the Japanese pursued ships were attacked by our pre-set cruisers and gunboats at the mouth of the Huangpu River, sinking one Japanese cruiser and two destroyers, and the rest fled back to the Huangpu River in a hurry. The entire special operation was a complete success. ”

An Yi was very happy: "Okay! This is the special forces, which attack them by surprise and are always present at unexpected times and places for the enemy. Xiao Jin, how did you come up with the idea of stealing the Japanese warship? ”

An Jin said with a smile: "Ziyan and I feel that our special forces should give you a big gift to congratulate you on your safety and soundness, so we used our brains to formulate this action plan." According to many days of reconnaissance, as well as the intelligence provided by the air force, we found that the port of the first people is not as well defended as imagined, especially Gaoqiao Port, which is close to the mouth of the Yangtze River, it seems that there are surveillance posts on both sides of the Huangpu River, and there are batteries in the port, which seems to be foolproof, but in fact there are many loopholes. People are too confident in controlling the water surface, and the direct evil result of this self-confidence is lax defense and slackness among officers and men, and this has created a fighter plane for our successful operation. I think this gift should be able to express the hearts of all the soldiers of our special forces, brother, what do you think? ”

"Satisfied, just these six warships, all worth twenty or thirty million, how can I not be satisfied?" After An Yi finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and frowned: "Have you ever thought about what to do if the operation fails?" ”

An Jin replied solemnly: "Our special soldiers of the river defense have all received strict diving training, and once they are discovered by the Japanese ships on the river bank or patrolling, they will immediately abandon the boat and quickly retreat to the front line of Baoshan at the mouth of the Huangpu River." We have arranged for someone to be there to pick you up. There will definitely be certain risks in this mission, for example, if it happens to be discovered by Japanese ships passing on the Huangpu River, or if there are no Japanese warships docked in Gaoqiao Port, or if the Japanese army is heavily guarded, there are a large number of guard posts set up in the port, and our troops cannot get close, etc. The order I sent to Colonel Lu Dongsheng was to ensure the safety of our special operations officers and men as the first priority, and if we found that the Japanese defense was seamless, we must resolutely retreat and never make unnecessary sacrifices. ”

An Yi nodded with satisfaction: "This is very good, the cultivation of every special soldier is not easy to come by, and the training consumption of each of them is enough to support twenty ordinary soldiers, we must fully prepare for it to face all kinds of contingencies and ensure their personal safety." I like this gift very much, and I will show you Chairman Jiang for your merits, and I hope that you will make persistent efforts to create greater results. ”

An Jin smiled: "Big brother, just have your words, we have already recorded the credits one by one, and the *** department of the group army will naturally check and record them one by one, and as for the central government's rewards, they will be exempted." Our special forces themselves are a mysterious force, and if too much exposure arouses the vigilance of countries around the world, it will increase the difficulty of carrying out tasks in the future.

"Taking this operation as an example, I believe that the Japanese command will definitely try to make up for the series of problems that have been exposed, and it will be very difficult to achieve the results of last night in the future. If the central media gives more high-profile publicity and writes out our specific action steps, then the action of filling in the gaps will be more targeted, where is it good to make them suspicious like now? ”

An Yi thought about it, it was true, so he said: "Okay, I know how to do it, don't worry, you should get one thing...... What are you going to do next? ”

An Jin replied: "We will continue to carry out harassing operations with small units to undermine the morale of the Japanese army and create conditions for the decisive victory of the main force." ”

An Yi nodded: "Now the strategic intentions of the Japanese army have not been exposed, our First Army is ready to attack, and it is still mainly based on your special forces." However, I remind you again, An Jin, no matter when, let the soldiers remember that only by better preserving themselves can they hit the enemy more, and a little bit of blood and *** will bring unnecessary losses. You are a special forces, and your main task is to hide in a place where others cannot see it, and give it a blow in the head, not to go to the front line and spill blood. ”

"Yes!"

An Jin saluted, and then sat down excitedly. The Special Operations Command was the first unit to get off to a good start after the reorganization of the First Group Army, and he could not help but be proud.

"The commander, the envoys of Britain, France, the United States, Italy and other countries, as well as the dignitaries of the Shanghai Concession Bureau and the Public Board of Directors came to Nanxiang and asked the commander to meet and accept their questioning. At this time, they were blocked by the guards at the south entrance of Nanxiang Town, and General Wen Bai asked for your opinion and suggested that you should go and meet you in order to clarify the misunderstanding. Lin Yaodong walked quickly into the conference room and came to An Yi's side to report softly.

"Question?" An Yi was slightly stunned: "Could it be about the crash and explosion of the Southwest Air Force fighter plane in the public concession on the 13th?" Didn't they already give us back the pilot, Lieutenant Peter Liang? For this, we also paid 2 million in the cost of the accident person's pension and construction repairs. ”

Lin Yaodong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't know the specific situation, General Wenbai's side is obviously confused, I heard the guards say that the group of foreigners were very excited, shouting about 'murderers', 'executioners' and the like, it seems that the problem is very serious." ”

"Okay, you reply to General Wenbai, and ask him to send someone to calm down the emotions of those European and American people first, and I will arrive later."

An Yi thought about it and decided to go and see what was going on. He instructed Chief of Staff Yang Fei to continue to preside over the meeting, arrange air defense matters in Nanxiang Town and the surrounding areas, arrange for the Southwest Air Force to suppress the firepower points in the Japanese concession area and the Japanese gunboat support on the Huangpu River, and at the same time mobilize the river defense troops to expel the fleet, and lay watermines on the waterway between Changxing Island and Chongming Island, so as to completely dispel the idea of a sneak attack by the Navy.

Nanxiang Temple is located on the central street of Nanxiang Town, famous for its twin towers, and the headquarters of Zhang Zhizhong's Ninth Army is in the wing room in the backyard of the temple.

At this moment, under the shade of a tree outside the main hall in the front yard, more than 50 envoys from various countries, important members of the Public Board of Directors of the Ministry of Industry of the Concession, representatives from all walks of life in Europe and the United States, and media reporters living in Shanghai were clamoring and shouting to express their views on last night's shelling incident; Major General Xu Quan, chief of staff of the Ninth Group Army, together with more than 10 staff officers, and seven college students who were familiar with English, French, and other Chinese languages temporarily transferred from the anti-Japanese support team, continued to appease them, but with little success.

"General An Yi, Chief of Staff of the Theater of Operations, has arrived!"

The sound of the guards' announcement suddenly quieted the scene, and then, An Yi was dressed in a general's uniform, surrounded by Shen Fengdao, Lin Yaodong and more than ten guards, and walked into the gate of Nanxiang Temple with dignity.

At this time, the envoys of various countries and the important officials of the concession reacted and rushed towards An Yi at once, but they were blocked by An Yi's guards holding hands.

An Yi came to the steps in front of the main hall of the temple, turned around, and said loudly in English: "In Xia An Yi, in charge of the operational affairs of the Songhu Theater, may I ask the distinguished gentlemen and ladies, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

Over the years, the Shanghai concession authorities, embassy and consulate officials of various countries have been in contact with An Yi, after all, in the partnership to make money, everyone's interests are still the same, most of the business people who come here today, most of them maintain trade relations with the Jiangnan Group, so the original accumulated anger has dissipated a lot in An Yi's quiet smile.

"May I ask General An, what is your explanation for the evil general for sneaking into Gaoqiao Port last night and stealing several warships of the Third Fleet of the *** Navy, one of which drove a gunboat to Huishan Wharf in a frenzy and shelled the British and French concessions?" French Consul General Mérieux stepped forward and asked aloud in English.

An Yi's eyes widened, revealing a look of shock: "Wait, Dear Mr. Mérieux, are you saying that the British and French concessions were attacked by gunboats last night?" And it was also done by the *** naval gunboat stolen by our army? ”

Mérieux nodded and said solemnly: "Of course, the shelling was extremely fierce, resulting in more than 2,000 casualties in the concession, including more than 400 expatriates from Britain, France, the United States, Germany, Italy, Belgium and the Netherlands, and more than 20 buildings collapsed, bringing losses of six million property to the concession. After the incident, we urgently summoned the commander of the Shanghai Dispatch Army, General Matsui Ishone, at first he was hesitant, but in the end he received the exact news, only to know that it was the squadron that infiltrated the *** naval station and robbed the ship. Throughout China, only General An's subordinates are so elusive, so we ask to see the general and wait for me to give an explanation. ”

An Yi immediately understood what was going on, although he was surprised why the *** navy was crazy and suddenly shelled the British and French concessions, but he still pretended to smile lightly and said:

"Monsieur Mérieux, and distinguished gentlemen and ladies, I think this panic is too unreliable. I would like to ask the gentlemen and ladies who are here today, have you ever heard of a large ship in the world that has been stolen by a hostile country under the strict protection of its own ports? Moreover, the spy of this hostile country is so clumsy, not only does not run away after stealing other people's things, but instead drives a ship into the well-protected waters of the other side, shells a third force, and sets himself on fire.

"Oh! OMG! This big lie is so clumsy that I don't even know how to describe the person who made it up. I am now very curious about one thing, why would such a lie be believed by such a lie that does not stand up to any scrutiny, even if every gentleman and lady present here today can be regarded as an industrial and commercial elite, with far-sighted insight, a wise mind, and a strong ability of logical analysis? Could it be that the *** man named Matsui Ishine is a magician who uses hypnosis to confuse everyone's minds? ”

The white people who were originally angry with the people only calmed down at this time, analyzed carefully, remembered many unreasonable points in Matsui Shigen's rhetoric, and found that there were loopholes everywhere, and their faces became ugly, and they obviously felt incredible that they would believe the nonsense of *** people at that time.

An Yi continued: "China is a weak navy, the navy is so advanced warships, don't say whether we have the ability to drive away, even if we have talents in this area, how can we get close to the well-defended Japanese port, how can we avoid the search of the *** naval officers and soldiers with the spirit of bushido, and how many people do we need to drive the ship?" If it was a small number of people, it would not be possible to start the warship at all, and if it was a large-scale fleet sailing on the Huangpu River, how could the Japanese army's outposts along the Huangpu River and the gunboats patrolling the river not be discovered?

"That's why I said, this lie is too clever, and this must be the government's consistent method of planting blame. In the last century, they did this in the Sino-Japanese First Sino-Japanese War, the 918 Incident was the same, the 128 Incident was still the same, and even the Lugou Bridge Incident was the same...... Forty years have passed, and the level of lying by the government and the army has not improved at all, for which I regret and at the same time am very glad, because such a lie can only deceive the simple brains of *** people, but cannot deceive the world, especially the gentlemen and ladies who are here today. ”

French Consul General Mérieux, President of the Ministry of Industry and Bureau of Industry Fei Xinton, Director of the General Office Edward, Vice President Bell and other important members of the concession authorities got together and discussed for a few minutes.

"Dear An, I think we are wrong to blame you, but now that the innocent people in the Shanghai Concession have been attacked by the war, you should also bear some responsibility......"

An Yi shook his head again and again: "Mr. President, I think you should ask your President Franklin this question. Mr. Roosevelt, and the members of your Congress, they originally had the strength to stop the invasion of ***, but they did not do that, and continued to sell scrap steel, guns, ammunition, and weapons and equipment to ***. I'm sorry for everything today, but now we're also innocent victims, *** people are fighting on our soil, we're *** acts of self-defense. Just imagine, what would you do if *** people were attacking your country's territory, such as Pearl Harbor in Hawaii? ”

The American Fei Xindun looked regretful and said no more.

The Englishman Edward's General Office said loudly: "General An, after deliberations between the concession authorities, the military attachés of the embassy and consulates, and the naval and army officials stationed in Shanghai, they all agree that the gap in industrial strength between China and Japan is too large, and once the signatories of the Nine-Power Pact impose an embargo on weapons, oil, rubber, and other strategic materials on both warring sides, China's resistance will probably end within half a year." If you know that it is useless, why do you still insist on it? Isn't it good to maintain a peaceful and stable environment for development? ”

An Yi laughed: "Mr. Edward, you British people are still so fond of jokes, if one day a certain country unifies the European continent and launches an attack on the British Isles, will your government choose to surrender and seek peace?"

"Wouldn't it? Neither will the Chinese government! We are ready for a long war of resistance, if Nanjing falls, we will move the capital to Wuhan, if Wuhan falls, we will move the capital to Chongqing, China is very big, where can we not lead the whole people to resist as the capital? I don't know where Mr. Edward got the conclusion that China was going to fall in six months, but I only know that the troops I led brought at least 150,000 casualties to the Japanese in North China, and just yesterday my 68th Division inflicted more than 11,000 casualties on the Japanese army. There is a gap between China and Japan, but it is not as big as imagined, China has a lot of land and resources, and we will continue to persist until we drag down the *** people and completely drive them out of China. ”

Edward, the head of the General Office of the Concession, was speechless, and a blonde and blue-eyed Caucasian girl asked loudly: "General An, may I ask if the fruits of the victory achieved by your troops were obtained on the basis of the use of massive poison gas bombs?" ”

"Gas bombs?"

An Yi laughed loudly: "This is the funniest joke in the world, just because I made that statement about the use of poison gas bombs against the *** army?" Yes, now the South Sichuan Chemical Group has successfully developed three kinds of poison gas bombs, and the reserve of poison gas bombs has reached 20,000 so far, but so far, our army has never used them in war.

"Since I mentioned this, now I announce one thing: when the Japanese army used poison gas bombs in Beiwu Town, northeast of Beiping, it happened to be filmed by the film team sent by the Oriental Film Company to our army's filming squadron to resist the Japanese invasion, a large number of detailed and precious audio-visual materials, which will definitely feast your eyes, this hour-and-a-half-long documentary film will be released by the Oriental Film Company in the near future and will be screened publicly around the world, and everyone will know the rights and wrongs of China and Japan at that time! Okay, now that everyone knows the truth of the incident, let's disperse today, An Yi is busy with military affairs, so I won't accompany you for the time being! ”

After speaking, An Yi said hello to the generals of the Ninth Army, and strode away under the protection of Shen Fengdao, Lin Yaodong and a group of guards.
