"Chairman, what good news did you...proud student report?"

Bai Chongxi couldn't help being very puzzled in his heart, what kind of news was it that caused the committee member to lose his composure.

The commissioner walked on the ground twice on crutches, and said happily: "Liang Feiyu led a surprise attack on Japan's Hongkou Airport, and more than 30 planes flew to Hangzhou Airport. The guards and pilots at the airport were all killed in the flames. what?"

The people who can sit in the study are all bigwigs from the Nationalist Government's Military and Political Council, Minister He, Chief Chen, Vice Chairman Feng, Deputy Chief Bai and others.

After they heard the news, their expressions were exactly the same as those of the committee members, excited and excited beyond words.

"Chairman, is this true? It's not a lie about military information, is it?"

Vice Chairman Feng's eyes widened, his expression shocked.

"No, Liang Feiyu never lied about the military situation. I know him very well. When he said he blew up the Hongkou Airport, he must have done so. There is absolutely no mistake."

The committee member said decisively.

"Chairman, it's actually very simple. A phone call to Hangzhou Airport will confirm whether what Liang Feiyu said is true."

Bai Cichang said.

"Jiansheng, come and make this call."

The commissioner is full of absolute trust in Liang Xiao's words, he will not question his students.

"it is good."

Deputy Chief Bai got up and walked to the desk, picked up the outside phone, and asked the communication office to transfer to Hangzhou Airport.

"Hello, Hangzhou Airport?"

"I am Bai Jiansheng from the Military and Political Council, and I have something to ask you."

"Did more than 30 Japanese planes land at Hangzhou Airport today?"

"okay, I get it."

hang up the phone.

Deputy Chief Bai glanced at the expressions of the crowd, and said slowly: "It's confirmed, Liang Feiyu is true."

"So he really got back more than 30 Japanese planes"

Feng Yuxiang exclaimed in shock.

Deputy Chief Bai nodded fiercely, and said, "According to Hangzhou Airport, these more than 30 planes are all Higashi fighter jets that were put into production in Japan last year."

"Great, there was such a victory before the war started. It seems that this Songhu War will surely be famous in history with the victory of the national army."

Minister He's favorite thing to do is to add icing on the cake. Now that everyone is happy about this, he naturally wants to say something beautiful.

Chapter 469 Leaked Military Situation

Liang Xiao, the planner of the Hongkou Airport incident, was lazily lying on the sofa at the moment. Hu Die, who was wearing a short cheongsam, was pinching his shoulders and hammering his legs. On the coffee table next to the sofa, there was a cup of tea overflowing with tea.

He is enjoying the relief after the joy. The Hongkou Airport incident made him a lot of money. At the small price of casualties, he blew up all the buildings in Hongkou Airport. The fire is still burning until now. All the people were killed in the sea of ​​fire, and more than 30 Gale fighters flew to Hangzhou Airport. These results are more fruitful than a medium-scale battle.

After hearing the news, the High Command decided to hold a press conference for Chinese and foreign media to disclose the incident of the Hongkou Airport attack, thereby changing the views of the Western countries on China, expecting them to intervene in the dispute between China and Japan, and to curb the expansion of Japanese ambitions.

Liang Xiao remained silent about this. From the standpoint of the committee, looking forward to the intervention of Western countries is a political means to achieve the effect of leveraging strength, and it is also one of the political means of the committee.

There is a saying that you need to be strong to strike iron. Without strong strength, how can Western countries take China seriously? In their view, Japan’s expansion is purely a dispute in the Asian region. As long as it does not affect the stability of European countries , they will not intervene.

To put it bluntly, the Commissioner launched the Battle of Songhu this time. It was a certificate submitted to the Western countries. If the Chinese army defeated Japan in Shanghai, they would appear as mediators. If the Chinese army was weak, the Western countries would even Take Tianchao seriously.

It is like this in history. In the battle of Songhu, the 80 national army was completely defeated, and even the capital Nanjing was occupied by the Japanese invaders. Except for... cynicism and ridicule of the Chinese government, have they ever helped the Chinese government in the slightest? Liang Xiao didn't know if he could change the outcome of the Battle of Songhu, so he could only do his best.

He has been operating in Shanghai for more than a year, and has invested a lot of manpower and material resources. This battle in Shanghai is an opportunity to test his efforts for more than a year.

Early morning.

Liang Xiao hasn't slept yet, and there is no sleepiness at all. After tonight, the chapters of history will be turned. He is fortunate to be one of the witnesses of history.

Suddenly, the sound of high heels sounded.

In this villa, only Hu Die and Tang Menghan wear high heels, and Chen Hua only wears high heels when he is wearing casual clothes. Moreover, at this time, Chen Hua has gone to bed early, and Hu Die has also gone up to rest, so this person can only be Tang Menghan, Only when she walks in high heels is very fast, the rhythm of the rattling speeds up rapidly.

The sound of high heels came from upstairs, and he didn't look sideways until it sounded in his ears.

Tang Menghan took the telegram that had just been intercepted: "The Japanese dispatched troops from Shanghai learned in advance the time of our army's attack today, and urgently ordered the Marine Corps to deploy defenses around the Patriotic Girls' School and Baoshan Bridge, and also sent a telegram to order the Black Dragon Club and the Far East Club to organize Japanese ronin As a reserve team, assist the Shanghai dispatched army to resist our army's attack."

"There is a ghost inside."

Liang Xiao was silent for a while, then spoke out slowly.

In fact, a long time ago, he knew that there were Japanese spies at the top of the Chinese military, but he couldn't find any clues. Moreover, when he read Nanzo Yunzi's memory, he specifically checked to see if there was such a spy. information, but found nothing, which shows the high identity of this spy.

"Immediately send power to the commissioned seat. Our army's plan has been known to the Japanese army, and the Shanghai Dispatch Army is stepping up its defenses. I implore...forget it, just send it like this."

He originally wanted to ask the commissioner to adjust the attack time, but he remembered that he was an intelligence leader, and his performance was too much, which would easily arouse the dissatisfaction of the commissioner. Moreover, the military order had been issued, and all the national army troops were intensively preparing for the battle, just because of an intelligence report And changing the time of attack, isn't it changing the order from day to day? What's the face of the commanding department?

"General, don't you want to dig out this ghost?"

Tang Menghun was puzzled.

"How to dig"

Liang Xiao asked back.

"That's right, there are no clues. It's too difficult to dig out this inner ghost. It's just that he has been passing important military information to the Japanese army. Isn't this war launched by the high command as a wedding dress for others?"

Tang Menghan said.

Liang Xiao didn't know it, it's just that this inner ghost is hiding too deeply, and he must have a very important status in the high-level military, at least he is also a general at the rank of lieutenant general.

Only the senior generals of the Military and Political Council and the Military and Political Department are qualified to know the attack time issued by the command, and others are not qualified to know in advance.

As for the generals of the national army on the front line, they received the order to attack only yesterday, and they had no chance to inform the Japanese. Moreover, the frequency and password of the radio station in the barracks are under the supervision of the General Telecommunications Department of the Hangzhou Military Information Zone. As soon as there is a change in the radio station, the military intelligence zone will be able to learn the details immediately.

That is to say, the inner ghost can only be a senior general of the Nanjing Government Military and Political Council or the Military and Political Department.

"Send a confidential telegram to the Commissioner, the content is as follows, the Military and Political Council and the Military and Political Department suspect that there are Japanese spies."

"Yes."

"Two telegrams to be sent immediately."

"Humble job, go to generate electricity now."

"By the way, by the way, send a telegram to the special warfare brigade, telling them to strictly guard the coastline around Jinshanwei, Hangzhou, and immediately build a heavy artillery position. If the Japanese army lands from Jinshanwei, they must be kept at sea."

"Yes."

"Go."

After sending Tang Menghan away, Liang Xiao was even more sleepless. He got up from the sofa and paced back and forth on the ground, his expression wandering off into the sky, as if he was thinking hard about something.

The offensive order for the Battle of Songhu had already been issued to the participating troops in Shanghai, and the 87th and 88th Divisions of the Ninth Army launched an offensive against the Japanese-occupied areas at dawn on August [-].

It's one o'clock in the morning, just over four hours before the attack time.

The 8th Division and the 88th Division have already entered the city. At this moment, they should sneak forward in the direction of Baoshan Bridge and Patriotic Girls' School.

It was originally a raid, but the military plane was leaked by the spies, and it became an offensive and defensive battle. In this way, the advantage of the national army will no longer exist, and it can only be fought against the Japanese with the flesh and blood of the soldiers. There are naval ships, armored convoys, and aviation bomber formations, which are on par with the Chinese army in terms of firepower. Moreover, Shanghai is too small to organize a large-scale military attack. The outcome of this offensive and defensive battle is between five and five.

He has already asked Du Yuesheng and Bai Haonan from the Green Gang to organize a gang to provide logistical support and battlefield rescue for the 87th and 88th Divisions. The outcome of this offensive and defensive battle will depend on whether the 87th and 88th ace divisions can play against the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty. prestige.

4 Chapter Seventy: The War Begins

dawn.

The battle begins.

The sound of gunfire resounded across the beach.

The 8th Division attacked the Japanese Hongkou Marine Corps base, trying to drive them into the sea.

The 8th Division attacked Patriotic Girls' School, Baoshanqiao area.

8. The two divisions are all-German armorers, equipped with national military advisers, and the staffing is also modeled after the German army. They are samples of German armorers of the national army, and their combat effectiveness is also the strongest in the national army.

It stands to reason that the two elite German mechanic divisions of 87 and 88 will surely break through the Japanese defense line.

But the military situation was leaked, and the Japanese deployed their troops in advance, laying out key points in the key directions of the Chinese army's attack, relying on solid fortifications for defense.

When the battle broke out, the 87th Division's attack was stubbornly blocked by the Japanese army, and the vanguard suffered a lot.

Seeing the tight defense of the Japanese army, the 8th Division immediately dispatched a heavy artillery battalion to launch a heavy artillery cover on the Hongkou Marine Corps Base.

The heavy artillery battalion is equipped with 125mm howitzers, which cover a large area and have great lethality.

A row of artillery shells were fired, and the Hongkou Marine Corps Base was turned into a sea of ​​flames and filled with smoke.

The vanguard of the 8th Division took advantage of the moment when the artillery fire stopped, and immediately rushed to occupy the forward position arranged by the Japanese army.

The Japanese army was not to be outdone. After the artillery fire of the 87th Division, their [-] infantry artillery and mortars launched artillery fire coverage.

In this kind of urban offensive and defensive battle, the howitzers with high lethality cannot achieve precise firepower strikes, while the 87nd infantry artillery and mortars have small coverage, but they can achieve precise strikes. A round of shells passed, and the follow-up troops of the [-]th Division were hit by artillery fire. Suppression, unable to provide effective fire support to the vanguard, causing the vanguard to fall into a bitter battle with heavy casualties.

Patriotic girls' school, Baoshanqiao area.

The 8th Division took the company platoon as the offensive unit and launched an attack on the Patriotic Girls' School and Baoshan Bridge.

The defense of the Patriotic Girls' School was a brigade of Japanese troops, 600 people, who had built fortifications at the Patriotic Girls' School and Baoshan Bridge in advance.

The 8th Division's attack was frustrated, the two sides were at a stalemate, and gunshots kept coming and going.

The news of the setback of the attack by the two German divisions was sent back to the headquarters of the Ninth Army. General Zhang was furious immediately and ordered the 87th and 88th divisions to capture the Hongkou Marine Corps Base, the Patriotic Girls' School and the Baoshanqiao area in the morning.

The setback in the forward attack is enough to show that the Japanese have already deployed. This raid has turned into an offensive and defensive battle. If the 87th and 88th divisions cannot open the gap, the follow-up troops will not be able to advance layer by layer. If the battle is stalemate, the consequences will be disastrous.

Therefore, even if it is to pay huge casualties, open the gap.

General Zhang couldn't sit still, and led his guards to the front line to supervise the battle.

...... Liang Xiao didn't sleep all night, the sound of gunfire interrupted his thoughts.

As a military general, winning or losing on the battlefield is not what he should care about.

What he has to do is how to support and cooperate with the national army from the side to complete the purpose of the campaign.

From the current point of view, the raid has turned into an offensive and defensive battle, and he can do nothing but be responsible for providing logistical support and treating the wounded.

It was just dawn.

Xu Haodong rushed to the door.

He received a secret order last night to come to Shanghai to meet Liang Xiao.

As soon as we met, he hurriedly reported: "According to your instructions, I brought 500 sticks of Yunnan Baiyao when I came to Shanghai this time. Each stick of Yunnan Baiyao has a medicinal effect of 10 yuan, and the price is set at ten yuan and ten silver dollars."

Liang Xiao asked him to sit down, and said, "I called you to Shanghai in a hurry because the war broke out, and Shanghai urgently needs medicines to treat gunshot wounds. This is our chance."

Xu Haodong was surprised and said: "How to say it, the fight started."

"I estimate that the scale of the war will expand infinitely, and the number of casualties will increase rapidly. Anti-infective drugs will become rare and precious medicinal materials. There are still special drugs such as sulfonamides on the market, but with the expansion of the war, Traffic jams, the supply of sulfa in Shanghai will be in short supply until it is completely cut off. Therefore, in the initial stage of the war, the price of our Yunnan Baiyao is twice as expensive as that of sulfa. In this way, many people will choose sulfa. Once sulfa is cut off, they will We had to buy Yunnan Baiyao, so as to promote the brand of Yunnan Baiyao and squeeze sulfonamide out of the drug market.”

Liang Xiao wants to monopolize the medicine business in the inland area, so as to keep the gold of the Chinese people in his own pockets and prevent foreigners from earning a cent.

"General, our medicines are sold directly to major pharmacies, are they willing to pay such a high price for Yunnan Baiyao?"

Xu Haodong said.

"Hmph, it's not up to them. They have to buy as much as I say."

Liang Xiao said coldly.

"But... what if someone doesn't want to?"

It was the first time Xu Haodong saw such a business.

"Won't...the bullet will make them want."

Liang Xiao knows very well that extraordinary times call for extraordinary means. Now he is forcing drug dealers to buy Yunnan Baiyao. Two months later, they will beg him to sell their Yunnan Baiyao.

Xu Haodong's expression lifted, and he hurriedly said, "I'll go to the pharmacy right away."

"

I have already ordered the Green Gang, if you can’t get the situation going in the concession, you can ask them for help, this is the address.”

Liang Xiao gave Bai Haonan's address to Xu Haodong. Bai Haonan seemed to have inherited Huang Jinrong's mantle to become the leader of the Qinggang, but he was the chief agent of the Qinggang under Liang Xiao's control, and at the same time the leader of the Shanghai underground intelligence team. In order to support Bai Haonan, He has put in a lot of hard work. There are at least five or sixty students who graduated from the secret training camp, and he has arranged them to work in Bai Haonan's intelligence agency. He also gave the green light in terms of privileges. The underground information renting is very good.

"Don't worry, general, I will proceed with caution."
