Later in the day. When fierce fighting broke out again at Hukou, and at the same time, Penglang Ji was attacked by heavy Japanese artillery fire, in a bunker of Madang Fortress, Ouyang Yun and Takahashi Yoshiko had an in-depth conversation.

The relationship between Ouyang Yun and the Japanese woman has entered a very mysterious realm since that night. Unlike humans and animals, the use of force is only for the continuation of offspring, which is just an instinct; As for people, they can mention it to the realm of "love", to put it in layman's terms, this is just a manifestation of love, and it is a kind of movement that can make people who love each other happy.

The Japanese army in Jiangbei has been moving frequently recently, and almost every moment there is information coming out from the front line and even the Japanese station, in order to process this large amount of information, so as to get a glimpse of the next move of the Japanese army, Ouyang Yun spent a lot of energy on it. The epiphany of his identity at the headquarters earlier today made Ouyang Yun feel a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and he also had such a feeling for the first time, he Ouyang Yun now not only belonged to himself, but had become a public resource. This is not the life he wants, at the beginning of the crossing, when life gradually stabilized, he also thought about how to spend his life, such as finding a few more beautiful women or something. However, with the rapid development and growth of the Cadet Army, when he realized that he could really exert a certain influence on the country and even the world through his efforts, his life trajectory could no longer be arbitrary.

Takahashi should have felt this, and the Japanese woman looked at him with a smile and said softly: "The commander-in-chief summoned me in his busy schedule, what is the matter?" Let me guess, did you catch a Japanese soldier? When the Japanese woman said this, her eyes flashed with a slightly sly look, which added a charm to her beautiful face.

Recently, he has been busy with the war, although there are a few women of his own around him, but Ouyang Yun has no time to even hug them, and now, the Japanese woman suddenly showed this kind of charm, and the primitive desire in his body was actually provoked, and then it became a hard piece. It seems that every time he is alone with her, Ouyang Yun especially wants to be bad, however, unlike before, his self-control has increased exponentially now. He stared at her crescent eyes, tried his best to keep his mind, and said straight to the point: "Liangzi, you can't stay in the headquarters anymore. I believe you, but you're Japanese after all – you know what I mean? I don't mean to drive you away, but please restrain yourself a little, this is a battlefield after all. ”

Takahashi was mentally prepared to say such things to him. The expression on her face changed to a faint slightly desolate smile, and she lowered her head and said, "I just want to be by your side, you have been working too hard lately, you see, you have lost weight." ”

"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine. As you know, the Battle of Madang is very crucial, and once Madang is lost, there will be nothing in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River that will prevent the Japanese fleet from going straight to Wuhan. Believe me, this immoral war waged by you Japanese will not be endless, and at that time, you will return to Japan and live a normal life again. That's it, you're still living in the Legion Agency, but please don't go into the headquarters again. ”

"I know it!"

Ouyang Yun and the Japanese woman didn't stay together for long, and soon, Liu Kui found it, and a telegram originally sent from the United States and forwarded by Ji Xingwen in Guangzhou was handed over to him. The content of the telegram was drafted by Gu Lianyun himself, and when he saw the familiar name at the end of the telegram, Ouyang Yun felt a sense of guilt in his heart.

Gu Lianyun made a great sacrifice for him, this woman who was not very eager to fight against the daily newspaper, but now she is staying alone on the other side of the ocean just because of him, bearing a great responsibility. Although Ouyang Yun believed in her ability very much, but thinking that her weak shoulders had borne too many burdens, his heart was warm and astringent, and even the corners of his eyes instantly became a little wet.

The telegram said two things, first about the Japanese government's order for an overdose of antibiotics from her through the U.S. government, and then about the process of building an aircraft carrier. The Scholar Army does not have a spy system in Japan, and although it has Xia Wenyun as a pawn in the Japanese army stationed in China, it knows nothing about what is happening in Japan. If it weren't for Gu Lianyun's telegram mentioning the word "plague", he would have almost forgotten that he had ordered the release of the plague virus into Tokyo.

Through this telegram, Ouyang Yun learned that the retaliatory action for the release of the plague had been successful, and that it had caused a large epidemic of plague in Japan. Unfortunately, the city was chosen wrong, not Tokyo but Nagoya. The Japanese were successful in blocking the news, but when the plague virus spread widely and began to affect the foundation of Japan's statehood, the Japanese were finally forced to turn to the Western powers for help.

In order to build an aircraft carrier force, Ouyang Yun sold many patents to the United States last year, including the formula of penicillin and a complete production line. However, penicillin had no effect on the plague virus, so the Japanese government finally had to ask the US government to act as an intermediary to buy antibiotics with a curative effect on plague, such as streptomycin, from Gu Lianyun. Gu Lianyun sent this telegram to seek Ouyang Yun's opinion on this matter. And her personal opinion is that since there is money to be made, why not make a lot of money? At the end of the telegram, she also mentioned the following incident: The representative of the Japanese Government privately assured the representative of the US Government that he would never use chemical weapons on the battlefield in China in the future and would defeat the Chinese army in an upright manner.

"!" When he saw this line, a sneer appeared on the corner of Ouyang Yun's mouth. If the Japanese were to be believed, the rooster would have laid eggs. However, as Lianyun said, since there is money to be made, why not make a lot of money? The finances of the Cadet Army are a little tight during this time, and it would naturally be a good thing if they could knock a little more in the hands of the little devils.

After reading this telegram, Ouyang Yun took a moment to think about it, and decided to agree with Gu Lianyun's suggestion.

On Sunday, June 11, at about 2:40 a.m., about nine kilometers away from Madang Fort, Zhang Tianquan pinched his watch and looked at the dark surface of the Yangtze River, and took several deep breaths in a row. Behind him, a field of self-propelled guns draped in camouflage nets. At this moment, the artillerymen were pulling down the camouflage nets one by one, and at the same time, some of the artillerymen removed the protective cover from the muzzle flame suppressor. The shells were unloaded from the logistics trucks and neatly stacked behind the artillery cockpit. In about ten minutes, the artillerymen were ready for battle. They then stood solemnly in their respective gun emplacements, waiting quietly.

At the same time, on a beach of the Yangtze River adjacent to Mopan Village, Huayang Township, Wangjiang County, Shi Zhengguo checked the water support for each member of the torpedo group, and ordered in a low voice: "Go, go into the water!" ”

Okamura Ninji was ready to work hard, and at about seven o'clock last night, Zhang Hui and the others deciphered three telegrams in a row. The first one was sent by Okamura to Kamakura Sukeji Jun, and he gave a specific time for the general attack in a telegram. The second telegram was a reply from Kamakura, in which Kamakura gave the Yangtze River Fleet a staging place and hoped that Gangcun would prepare a wing of infantry that would cover the landing of this wing of infantry at Chenjiawan with gunboats, in order to open a passage to attack Madang on the south bank. The third was a reply from Gangcun, who agreed to Kamakura's plan in the last telegram of contact, promising that a wing would be mobilized to the Tune within the specified time, and that the wing would be under the command of the Yangtze River Fleet.

It was precisely because of the decipherment of these three telegrams, combined with the enemy situation detected by the scouts and agents of the fox pupil on the north bank, that Ouyang Yun concluded that the Japanese 11th Army would launch a general attack at 3 o'clock in the morning on the 11th, and the main direction of the Japanese attack would be southeast of the fortress.

The torpedo group arrived at the river beach of Mopan Village before 11 p.m. yesterday, and they arrived with the only five torpedoes left in the Madang Fortress. The specific combat plan of the torpedo group was to use manpower to transport the torpedoes to the vicinity of the river near which the Yangtze River Fleet would inevitably pass, and then launch them at close range.

In the early morning of early June, when the river was still very cold, after they entered the water, they immediately poured a sip of soju, and then dragged the torpedo tied with foam out of the hiding place, and a group of 28 people immediately dragged the torpedo along the river to swim towards the tune.

At the entrance of the temporary headquarters about 300 meters away from the first trench, Bai Tassel stood there, holding a luminous watch in his hand. Liu Zheliang walked out of the headquarters, walked behind her and said, "Brigade seat, it's almost time, let's go in." She held up her watch in front of her and looked at it, seeing that it was three o'clock in five minutes, she turned around and glanced at Liu Zheliang and walked into the headquarters.

In the headquarters of Madang Fortress, Ouyang Yun stood in front of his mount, looked at the wall clock hanging on the cave wall, suddenly exhaled heavily, and said to Chen Shichang: "It's almost time, hasn't Master Ye sent a telegram yet?" ”

Ye Zhao took the 36th Brigade to capture Jiujiang without bloodshed, and then he began to command the soldiers to repair the fortifications of Jiujiang, and at about eight o'clock this evening, he received an order from Ouyang Yun to prepare tools for crossing the Yangtze River, and strive to cross the Yangtze River before 12 o'clock and prepare for battle.

It is said that Ye Zhao should have sent a telegram to report the progress of the war, but what worried Ouyang Yun was that until the Japanese army was about to launch a general attack, the 36th Brigade seemed to have disappeared from the earth, and no information was transmitted back to the headquarters at all.

Could it be that Okamura Ninji's main direction of attack was placed on Pengji and Hukou? If this is the case, then the outcome of today's battle is difficult to predict - if the 36th Brigade crosses the river at this time, it is likely to step into the encirclement of the Japanese army, which is a serious illness, so that all the arrangements he made before will become a joke.
