Chapter 423: Delay in peace talks
After Wu Tiecheng expressed his position, Wu Xiaoliang lay on the map of the table, and the location of Hongkou Port was marked with a red pen The Japanese headquarters was dazzling and eye-catching.
"Mr. Du can go and meet the Japanese, but you have to take the risk of offending the Japanese."
Wu Xiaoliang's remarks shocked Wu Tiecheng, and he had the impression that this young member of the military committee was a strong advocate of fighting a bloody war against Japan to the end, and how could he even agree to the peace talks, and Du Yuesheng next to him was also confused, since the peace talks were always about an armistice, how could he talk about offending him.
Hearing Wu Xiaoliang's next words, the two of them suddenly suddenly said, Wu Tiecheng said in his heart, it turned out that this was the case, he was still the Wu commissioner who fought the bloody war against Japan to the end, but he didn't use brute force, but instead outwitted it, which was still very unexpected by Wu Tiecheng, he adhered to Jiang Zhongzheng's view of Wu Xiaoliang, and also thought that Wu Xiaoliang was a soldier who was more brave than strategic, but now he looked at him according to the situation, and he planned according to the situation, but it was not so simple.
Du Yuesheng was a little more moved, Wu Xiaoliang's plan is related to the fate of the country, he and his first acquaintance, he did not avoid secrecy, the plan and the discernment, usually such as the battle plan and other secret things, how can it be noisy into the ears of outsiders, even if there are, there can only be two reasons, one is that the person who leaked the secret is stupid, and the other is that the narrator has no great trust in the person who listens, it is obvious that Wu Xiaoliang's move belongs to the latter, how not to teach Du Yuesheng to move.
At the same time, Du Yuesheng's impression of Wu Xiaoliang changed again, at the beginning of the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, he was never happy to see it as a local boss in Shanghai, and the war between the two countries in China and Japan should inevitably cause a severe blow to Shanghai's economy, and all his vested interests are in Shanghai itself, so he will become the biggest victim of it.
When the 57th Division fought fiercely with the 24th Brigade and the 9th Division of the Japanese Army, destroying the Zhabei District of the Chinese Border into a piece of rubble, although Du Yuesheng was amazed by his lone army and bravely resisted the Japanese, he also secretly blamed Wu Xiaoliang, if it was not for his insistence on the main battle, Japan might not have made such a big move, when he received the news that the Japanese army's follow-up reinforcements had been sent out of the Japanese mainland and the naval fleet was also marching towards Shanghai, he realized that the peace talks were nothing more than wishful thinking, and the Shanghai defenders had to go all out to prepare for war.
After Du Yuesheng understood Wu Xiaoliang's plan, he said goodbye and never stopped.
"Yuesheng will go back to the loan to contact the intermediary to prepare for negotiations with the Japanese."
The reason why Wu Xiaoliang was able to plan and explain it was that of course there was a factor in his previous life's all-round evaluation of Du Yuesheng and his person, this person would never be a traitor, in addition, there was a reason why he had to say it, because he couldn't sacrifice the safety of others because of the pretext of fighting the Japanese invaders, what the overall situation or personal sacrifice was not a reason, if it was to sacrifice himself, he would not hesitate, but if it was someone else, he thought that Du Yuesheng had the right to know about his adventurous plan, and he also had the right to choose whether to participate in the plan.
Where did Du Yuesheng go until the twists and turns in Wu Xiaoliang's stomach, he just simply saw Wu Xiaoliang's extraordinary courage and vision, and at the same time, an impulse to die for a confidant faintly rose in his heart, which is this frank, how many people can do it, and there are only one Wu Xiaoliang.
Du Yuesheng left the Zhenrusong Shanghai Anti-Japanese Headquarters with Wu Xiaoliang's trust, and Wu Tiecheng said to Wu Xiaoliang worriedly:
"Commissioner Wu is good at planning, but the risk is too great, if he can't succeed, I'm afraid that the brothers sent to carry out the mission will have more brothers and fewer brothers." Speaking of this, Wu Tiecheng paused for a moment, as if he wanted to speak and stopped, but finally spoke.
"Tiecheng is still a little worried, at present there are only two armies in Shanghai, the 57th Division and the 64th Division, the 64th Division has been completely disabled, lost its combat effectiveness, and the 57th Division is also suffering heavy losses, if most of it is sent, then the Songhu Railway Defense Line may not have enough troops to garrison, in the final analysis, it is still overstretched."
Wu Tiecheng sighed, he took office as mayor of Shanghai to save the crisis and avoid war, but in the end, the war between China and Japan could not be avoided, and now the main force of the Central Army was all contained in Hubei by Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan, and he couldn't move half a step, fortunately, Wu Xiaoliang led his Shandong Army to reinforce the Songhu battlefield, and the Japanese army was stuck in Zhabei District, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable, and the Japanese army would drive straight into the city of Nanjing, and at that time, Although the government departments and Chairman Chiang had temporarily moved to Luoyang, the provisional capital, the Military Committee was still stationed in Nanjing, and the fact that the capital was generally captured by the Japanese army would deal an irreparable blow to the morale of the National Revolutionary Army throughout the country.
Therefore, this kind of tragedy must not be allowed to live, but in the current situation of overstretched troops, victory in the face of danger seems to be inevitable.
Wu Tiecheng's worries were also Wu Xiaoliang's worries, but the Second Army and the Armored Brigade arrived later, and when the time came, the strength of the troops was still acceptable, and it was based on this that Wu Xiaoliang made this adventurous plan.
"Brother Tiecheng don't have to worry, the second army under Xiaoliang has been redressed in Nanjing, and it will rush to Shanghai tomorrow, so that before the Japanese reinforcements arrive, we will be far superior to the Japanese army in terms of the number of troops, so Brother Tiecheng can put a heart back in his stomach with peace of mind."
……
After Du Yuesheng returned to his rented home, he locked himself in his study and did not come out for a long time, he had to plan carefully, although he had obtained official permission to contact the Japanese to contact the armistice matters, but at this extremely sensitive critical moment, he had to risk being accused of being a traitor.
Du Yuesheng can't and doesn't dare to take the risk of this crime, besides, he is a Chinese director on loan from Shanghai France, and he has to take into account the opinions and face of the French, so he decided to choose the meeting place at the French Consulate General, and at the same time, he must also invite Consul General Gamlin to be present, so as to take care of the face of the French, and will not be suspected of being a traitor to the country, even if one day, he is scolded as a traitor, then he can ask Gamlin to come forward to clarify and testify for him, This private meeting was a test by the Japanese Sixth Army to seek the possibility of a cease-fire on the Chinese side.
The next day, a representative of Lieutenant General Kenkichi Ueda, commander of the 9th Division, appeared at the French Consulate General and formally demanded a cease-fire from China and asked a third party to mediate.
After Wu Xiaoliang received Du Yuesheng's report on the Japanese side's formal proposal to ask a third party for mediation, he sneered: "It's really hard for the Japanese to make a show. ”
