In the face of the pressure of the Japanese army, Wu Xiaoliang felt unprecedented pressure, the pressure that he had never had in the past every desperate life, more than ten years ago, whether in Mukden, Beijing, Hunan, or Suidong, the battles and incidents abounded, but even if he failed, it was only his own failure, and this time he had a mission on his shoulders that was too heavy for a person, so that he had to be cautious and cautious about every detail.

There was only Wu Xiaoliang alone in the office, this was a rare purity, no discussion of the shape, and chattering reports, he leaned on the back of the chair idly, seemingly closed his eyes to recuperate, but in fact his brain was flying.

Wu Xiaoliang sent Yang Xiaoou three hours ago to inspect the defense line on the south bank of the Yellow River, and Li Zejun went with him, and the latter returned to the Gaomi garrison of the 57th Division after the inspection.

Once the war starts, the fortress on the north bank will become a nail inserted into the Japanese battle line, so as long as the Japanese army attacks the south bank, it will inevitably pull out the fortress on the north bank first, and at that time, the entire regiment in the fortress on the north bank may only have a picture of fighting to the death.

Thinking of the word "death battle", Wu Xiaoliang smiled bitterly, the Chinese text is really broad and profound, death and war death are just two words in the reverse order, but the artistic conception to be expressed is completely different, he gave an order to that regiment to fight to the death in yesterday's meeting, everyone knows that a death battle order is equivalent to this regiment is labeled as death in battle.

It is extremely necessary for the fortress on the north bank to delay the rhythm of the Japanese attack, and this sacrifice must be made by someone, the so-called mercy is not in charge of the troops, probably nothing more, Wu Xiaoliang opened his eyes, got up and went to the military map in front of the table, and picked up a report from the transfer of Japanese troops on the north bank.

According to reliable sources, the Japanese army in North China did not increase its troops by a large margin in a short period of time, except for a large part of the troops that were withdrawn from the Songhu battlefield to reorganize and rest, the rest were basically the Kwantung Army from the northeast to the south and the original North China garrison army, however, this report focused on analyzing another point, that is, the reorganized North China Front Army actually transferred more than 50,000 puppet Manchukuo soldiers from outside the Guan, and most of these puppet Manchukuo soldiers were reorganized from the former Northeast Army.

Yang Xiaoou believed that these puppet Manchukuo soldiers could be won over, and many of their generals were officers of the Northeast Army, and they all had feelings for Zhang's father and son and the Northeast Army, and Zhang Xueliang could secretly send people north to plot a rebellion against them, and if they succeeded, it would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the Japanese army.

But Wu Xiaoliang did not agree to do this, he had doubts, the commander of the North China Front Army, Terauchi Shouichi, is an extremely meticulous soldier, steady style, and old methods, how could he show such obvious flaws at the beginning of his tenure, the only explanation is that he is not afraid of this flaw, and even exaggerates his judgment, it is likely that this guy is hiding in the shadows waiting for the fish to take the bait.

Therefore, Wu Xiaoliang chose to wait and see the changes and make the choice of static braking, there is another reason, he can't be led by the nose by Terauchi Shouichi, the squadron must take the initiative to do something, and can't passively defend and wait to be beaten.

Moreover, the news from the south was equally depressing, the shape of Shanghai deteriorated further, the Japanese army wandering in the open sea finally started to fight, Zhang Zhizhong's Fifth Army was worthy of the army trained by the first Songhu War, and successfully drove the invaders back to the sea several times, but how long could these flesh and blood bodies last, because Wu Xiaoliang noticed that the large-caliber naval guns of the Japanese Navy almost did not fire a single shot, and the first few attacks were carried out without artillery support, Therefore, these battles should be tentative attacks, and they should be adopted as a strategy of steady and steady step by step after the attack loses its suddenness.

Wu Xiaoliang is still puzzled, because this explanation seems reasonable, but in fact it is still very far-fetched, with the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, concentrate superior firepower to cover the Shanghai defense area of the Chinese defenders, and then gather superior forces, it is entirely possible for the Japanese army with excellent military quality to go down in one go, they just did not do this, but chose a plan that seems reasonable, but seems a little stupid.

This should not be a mistake, the Japanese army may act rigidly, but it has never reached the stupid Cheng dù, then there is only one possibility to explain the focus on behavior, they must have another purpose, Wu Xiaoliang judged, what should they be waiting for, but what are they waiting for, reinforcements, secret weapons.

There was a sudden movement in the confidential room across the door from Wu Xiaoliang's office, and the secretary quickly pushed open the closed door, holding a piece of paper in his hand.

"Sir, Cipher."

Wu Xiaoliang took the telegram from the secretary's hand, this is an untranslated message, because the secretary did not have a codebook that could translate this message, he waved his hand to signal that the secretary could go out, and when the door was re-managed, Wu Xiaoliang came to the desk and opened one of the floor-to-ceiling cabinet doors, and a safe was in sight.

The code book was in the safe, and Wu Xiaoliang took it out and translated the message word by word.

In Beiping, Kengo Mizukawa sat opposite a Japanese soldier who was also a major general, and the major general took a sip of sake, enjoyed a smacking sound, and squeezed the wine cup in his hand.

"There may be a spy in the staff."

The major general's face was flushed, and he was already a little drunk, his name was Kitamura Kazuki, who was attached to the staff of the North China Front, but his subordinate was inherited from the garrison army before the reorganization, and the reason why he remained in office was excessive, such an important position, the ambitious general Terauchi naturally wanted to replace it with his own person, and that own person was the new major general staff officer Mizukawa Kengo who sat opposite him, Mizukawa Kengo was not only a replacement for him, but also his classmate when he was at the University of the Imperial 6th Army, so he was slightly drunk and talked a lot.

"Mizukawa-san, don't say it, I only told you this, the chief of staff of Okabe ordered me to secretly investigate the files of all the soldiers in the staff the day before yesterday, even dating back to before the age of ten, which is an unprecedented action in the 6th Army of the Imperial Kingdom, and it is said that it was instructed by the general of Terauchi."

Mizukawa Kengo's face was as usual, but his heart was already turbulent, could it be that he was exposed, and he was just about to recall carefully, whether there had been a fatal mistake before, but he heard Kitamura say again: "As far as I know, the general of the temple released a smoke screen this time, and he must make good use of the ....... of the spy in Shimoshina."

Kitamura Kazuki tilted his neck and took another sip of sake, and stuffed another piece of sushi into his mouth.
