Okawa Uchideni was the commander of the Japanese Navy Special Marine Corps in Shanghai, with the rank of rear admiral, and when Xu Shijiu took him in his office, this old devil was meeting with the Japanese Consul General in Shanghai, Okamoto Jimasa, in addition to Okamoto Jimasa, and the deputy military attache of the Japanese Embassy in China, Major General Hondasuke, was also present.

"Okamoto-san, Honda-san, please be seated." Okawa Uchiden Qisu invited Kimasa Okamoto and Hondasuke to take a seat, and said, "Don't worry, last night, Your Excellency Hasegawa ordered the 8th Sentai Brigade, the 1st Mine Squad, the 1st Air Force, the 1st Special Marine Brigade of the Sasebo Town Guard, and the 2nd Special Marine Team of the Kure Port Town Guardhouse to get ready. ”

Hasegawa Kiyoshi is the commander of the Japanese Navy's 3rd Fleet, with the rank of vice admiral, and the 3rd Fleet, also known as the Chinese fleet, has dozens of old warships, the flagship of which is the old cruiser Izumo.

"When will Hasegawa be able to arrive in Shanghai?" Okamoto asked.

Hondasuke was more concerned about the military, asking, "When will the two Special Marines on standby in Sasebo be deployed?" ”

Okawa Neichuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Excellency Hasegawa will arrive in Shanghai this evening, just now, I received another telegram from him, the 8th Sentai Team, the 1st Mine Squad, the 1st Air Force and the two Special Marine Corps assembled and standby in Sasebo have been mobilized, and they will arrive at Huishan Wharf tomorrow evening at the latest." ”

Hondasuke and Okamoto Jimasa breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, as soon as the two special marines of Sasebo and Kure Gang arrived, plus the special marines who were evacuated from Hankou to Shanghai and the special marines originally stationed in Shanghai, the strength of the assembled Shanghai had exceeded 5,000 people, plus the more than 2,000 soldiers and ronins of the armed merchant group, they could barely protect themselves.

"Yo Xi, I'm relieved this time." Okamoto Jizheng nodded again and again, his eyes showed a fierce light, "Yesterday afternoon and this morning's negotiations with the people of China, I am really fed up, tomorrow's third round of negotiations, we must make the most solemn representations to the Shanghai Municipal Government of China, the Shanghai Security Corps must be evacuated, and the fortifications must be demolished!" ”

"Give a gift to the old devil in Okawauchi?" Scar muttered, "Captain, isn't it?" ”

Xu Shijiu smiled and didn't explain too much, just snorted at the opposite building and asked, "Do you know where the old devil's office is located?" ”

Scar and One-Hand looked at the one-eyed dragon.

The one-eyed dragon hurriedly spit out the cigarette butt in his mouth to the ground, scratched his head and said: "Don't look at me like this, although I have been working in the northern area of the concession for many years, the headquarters of Little Japan has never been in once, and besides, the old devil in Okawauchi is not my son, how do I know where his office is?" ”

"Don't know?" Xu Shijiu said again, "Then guess." ”

Scar, One-Handed, and One-Eyed all shook their heads like rattles.

"Do you see the towering antenna on the roof of the building opposite? There is also the sun flag that hangs down from the top floor and reaches the second floor. Xu Shijiu threw the leftover cigar on the ground and said firmly, "I bet with you, the office of the old devil in Okawauchi must be in that direction, and it must be on the second floor!" ”

"Captain, have you been in?" Scar will be suspicious.

"I haven't been in." Xu Shijiu shook his head and said, "But as long as you use your brain a little, it is not difficult to guess that the towering antenna is a radio, and it must be the headquarters of the old devil in Dachuan at the bottom, but it is the sun flag that exposes the location of the old devil's office in Dachuan, and the little devil who hangs the flag will definitely please the old devil and hang the flag on the top of the old devil's office." ”

"Where's the second floor?" Scar added, "How does the captain know it's the second floor and not the first, third, or fourth floor?" ”

Xu Shijiu said: "The first floor is obviously repaired as a fortification, the three walls are reinforced, and there are a large number of camouflaged shooting holes on them, and the garage is on the side of Duolun Road, and the shelf beds can be seen through the open windows on the third and fourth floors, and there are Japanese soldiers wearing shirts standing in front of the window smoking, most of them are dormitories, so the office area must be on the second floor." ”

As he spoke, a car drove out of the gate facing the building, facing Duolun Road.

Xu Shijiu patted his ass and said to the three Scars: "It's almost over today, let's go back." ”

Shanghai Longhua, Songhu Garrison Headquarters.

Yang Hu, commander of the Songhu garrison, was anxiously waiting for news, accompanied by Zhu Xia, chief of staff, and the map frame of the headquarters had been removed, but a huge map of the concession had been nailed to the wall with a thumbtack, and on the table in the center of the headquarters, several operational staff officers were nervously carrying out the work on the map with round rails and triangular rulers.

After the Hongqiao Airport incident occurred yesterday afternoon, Yang Hu was worried about the retaliation of the Japanese, so he ordered to prohibit the officers and men of the Security Corps from going out, but in the evening Xu Shijiu made a phone call, and Yang Hu immediately changed his mind, not only revoked the ban, but also sent several battalion commanders (captains) of the Security Corps out early this morning.

Raising his hand to look at his watch, he saw that the hour hand had pointed to Xiangxia at one o'clock in the afternoon, and several battalion commanders of the 1st and 2nd regiments had already returned, but Xu Shijiu was still nowhere to be seen, Yang Hu began to be a little worried, turned his head and said to Zhu Xia: "Shangyi (Zhu Xia's expression), Xu Shijiu, this stunned kid won't cause any trouble, right?" ”

"No, I'm still relieved that Ah Jiu will do something." Zhu Xia smiled and said, "The later Ah Jiu comes back, the greater the value of the intelligence he has spied on, so you can wait, Commander." ”

"It's true, this kid is stunned, but he has always done things safely, and there really hasn't been anything wrong with him over the years." Yang Hu couldn't help but nodded, and said, "Well, for you to say that, I really have some expectations." ”

The voice fell, and Xu Shijiu's loud voice suddenly came from outside the command department: "Report!" ”

"Hey, Cao Cao Cao is here, this stunned boy is back!" Yang Hu pointed at Zhu Xia and said loudly, "Come in!" ”

The figure flashed, Xu Shijiu's heroic figure strode into the command headquarters, and he stood up and saluted, Yang Hu casually replied to the military salute, Zhu Xia, Ji Zhangjian, the head of the Shanghai Security Corps, Fu Antan, the head of the 1st Regiment, Qi Xueqi, the commander of the 2nd Regiment, and several battalion commanders fell on Xu 19.

"Ah Jiu, tell me about your findings." Zhu Xia got straight to the point.

"Yes." Xu Shijiu gave Zhu Xia another military salute, and said meticulously, "The humble duty was ordered to spy on the reality of the Japanese army in Shanghai, from the Xinmin Road to the east, and then along the North Sichuan Road to the north to the Japanese Marine Corps Headquarters, a total of 26 Japanese forts or strongholds were found, and the humble duty has drawn a detailed map accordingly. ”

As he spoke, Xu Shijiu took out the map with the marked mark and handed it to Zhu Xia with both hands.

Zhu Xia took the map and handed it directly to the combat staff officer, and said, "Is there anything else to discover?" ”

"Yes, I found that the Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai are the same as us, they are also tight inside and loose outside, and the Japanese ronin in Shanghai behaves abnormally, usually they will pick quarrels and provoke trouble, but today, we took the initiative to provoke him, but he retreated." Xu 19 also told the original story of the conflict with the Japanese ronin in the morning.

Zhu Xia nodded, and said, "What about your conclusion?" ”

Xu Jiudao: "My conclusion is that the opinions of the top level of the Japanese government are probably not unanimous, which will inevitably lead to ideological confusion among the Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai.

In addition, in order to avoid irritating the Chinese people, the Japanese are still pretending to be four lowly men openly carrying guns, and they can even move around their headquarters; at this time, if our army launches a surprise attack in plainclothes, clears the outlying strongholds of the Japanese army at designated points, and then forces all units of the Central Army to follow up, it will definitely be able to completely annihilate the Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai. ”

Yang Hu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked, "Xu Shijiu, when do you think it's best to do it?" ”

"Sooner rather than later, my opinion, I'll do it this afternoon!" Xu Shijiu said, "While the Japanese army is still making a gesture, our plainclothes team is easy to infiltrate, and we can beat them off guard, if you miss today, it is difficult to say that the situation will not change, if the Japanese army strengthens its vigilance tomorrow, I am afraid there will no longer be such a haode opportunity." ”

Yang Hu struck the festival fiercely, and immediately ordered Ji Zhangjian, the head of the regiment, to say: "Brother Xia Di, you stay here, and you will study Qi, Antan and 19 to formulate a detailed sneak attack on the various strongholds on the periphery of the Japanese army. After saying this, Yang Hu said to Zhu Xia again, "Brother Shangyi, you immediately call Commander-in-Chief Zhang and report our Jihua to him." ”

"Can't report." Xu Shijiu hurriedly said, "As soon as I report it, this matter will definitely not be successful." ”

"It's okay not to report, this is Shanghai, it's a commercial port of all countries, what should I do if there is an international incident?" Yang Hu shook his head and said to Zhu Xia again, "I want a call from Suzhou soon." ”

##########

When Zhu Xia received a phone call, the Beijing-Shanghai Garrison Headquarters in Suzhou was preparing to move forward.

The person who answered the phone was Major General Tong Yuanliang, chief of staff of the Beijing-Shanghai Garrison Command, Tong Yuanliang and Zhu Xia are alumni of Lu University, Tong is one year higher than Zhu, and the two have worked together for many years in the camping office of the Central Military Academy under the leadership of General Zhang Zhizhong, and the relationship is very good.

General Zhang Zhizhong is one of the only two tiger generals in the Central Army who can fight in addition to the Huangpu Department, his record is the 128th Shanghai Anti-Japanese War, and the other is General Xue Yue, although Chen Cheng's military talent is also very good, the Central Plains War also had a good performance, but he performed mediocre in the Battle of Songhu, not a tiger general.

After listening to Tong Yuanliang's retelling, Zhang Zhizhong frowned, and said disapprerovingly: "Nonsense, without the leader's order, who dares to start a war?" Shanghai is an international city, and merchants from all over the world gather in the public concession, if there is an international incident, who will be responsible? Besides, the 87th Division, the 88th Division and the 20th Independent Brigade had just arrived in Shanghai, and everything was insufficient, so how could we start a war? ”

Tong Yuanliang thought about it, and still persuaded: "But Commander, the opportunity at the moment is indeed rare......

"Okay, Mu Tao, you don't have to say more." Zhang Zhizhong waved his hand and interrupted Tong Yuanliang and said, "Tell Yang Hu and Zhu Xia to stop thinking nonsense, and to step up their combat preparations and wait for the leader's order." With that, Zhang Zhi turned around and walked out of the headquarters, boarded the car and left the Lingering Garden.

Zhu Xia walked out of the inner office, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes fell on him in unison.

"Brother Shangyi, what did Commander-in-Chief Zhang say?" Yang Hu couldn't wait to ask, he had endured the Japanese for a long time.

Zhu Xia shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Commander-in-Chief Zhang is not allowed, only said that let's step up our combat preparations and wait for orders." ”

Yang Hu was disappointed when he heard this, and several regiment commanders and battalion commanders also sighed, only Xu Shijiu said lightly: "This is the expected result." ”
