"General Liang, I need your help with something."

Xu Enzeng said.

"What's up"

Liang Xiao said.

"During the infiltration process, Songhu District was destroyed by the Japanese military's intelligence agencies. About 40 elite agents were arrested. These agents are all elite personnel in Songhu District. They know too many secrets of the party and the state. I think Ask your military commanders to take action and rescue them, if the rescue fails, then take them..."

Xu En once made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Chapter 58 Heaven Knows, Earth Knows, You Know, I Know

At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, Liang Xiao promised to let the intelligence personnel of Zhongtong and Dai Li enter the Songhu area. For this reason, Zhongtong and Dai Li were very happy. Working in Shanghai District.

The sky is unpredictable, and people have misfortunes and blessings.

Less than four months after the establishment of the Songhu District, it was attacked by the Japanese intelligence agency, and the Central Intelligence System of the entire Songhu District was facing a state of collapse.

In this big retreat, Xu En had to stay and clean up the mess in Songhu District.

The Zhongtong has 2 Chen as the backstage, and it was the first intelligence agency established. The overall strength has always been above the Military Command. It was not until Liang Xiao's sudden emergence that the Military Command had the qualification to have an equal dialogue with the Central Command.

Although the Zhongtong is expanding rapidly, there are good and bad intelligence personnel. This time, more than 40 agents in Songhu District were arrested. It is obvious that there are hidden spies inside the Zhongtong. Who is the inner ghost, so he didn't dare to use the intelligence power of the Central Command to rescue the arrested spy, so he had to ask Liang Xiao for help. After all, the Songhu-Hangzhou area was originally Liang Xiao's military territory.

"Director Xu, you should be clear that the Central Command and the Military Command have never had the habit of cooperating in intelligence operations. Why did you ask Liang to rescue the Central Command agents?"

Liang Xiao rejected him mercilessly.

Embarrassment flashed across Xu Enzeng's old face. His condition was indeed a bit difficult for others, but he came to the door only when he had no other way out. If he hadn't been worried that the arrested agents would not be able to withstand Rit's torture and hand over the important secrets of the party and the state, he would not be generous. Shameless begged Liang Xiao for help.

"General Liang, now is the critical time to work together to fight the war. Let's not worry too much about the grievances and grievances in the past. Everything is based on the overall situation of the war of resistance."

Xu Enzeng said with a sneer.

"Liang doesn't mean to care about personal grievances, but I have already ordered the Songhu-Hangzhou military intelligence zone to withdraw to Wuhan, so I may not be able to help Director Xu."

Liang Xiao sneered.

"General Liang, among the agents arrested this time, there is a senior agent named Gao Yulong. This person is the intelligence director of the Songhu District, and he holds too many secrets of the party and the state. If he is instigated by the Japanese special forces, the consequences will be disastrous. I implore the general For the sake of fighting with one heart, rescue them, even if the rescue fails, they will not have a chance to speak."

Xu Enzeng said.

"Gao Yulong"

Liang Xiaojian frowned.

"The General Knows Him"

Xu Enzeng looked a little surprised.

"I don't know him, but his name is not unfamiliar."

Liang Xiao never expected that Gao Yulong would be captured by Japanese spies.

"Please help the general, Xu and the Zhongtong are very grateful."

Xu En Zeng said sincerely.

Liang Xiao looked at Xu Enzeng playfully, if he knew that his ex-wife Wang Suqing let Gao Yulong sleep, would he still be in the mood to rescue Gao Yulong? You must have thought too beautifully."

Liang Xiao said.

When Xu En once heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "General, don't worry, I have prepared a generous gift for you. As long as you rescue the arrested, this generous gift will be offered with both hands."

"Oh, what a generous gift, let's hear it"

Liang Xiao said.

"During the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, the committee members were worried that the Songhu area would be occupied by the Japanese army, so they asked the Central Command to bury all the mineral deposits in the Songhu area. Is General Liang interested?"

Xu Enzeng laughed.

Liang Xiao pondered for a moment, and said: "This deal can be done, but..."

"Don't worry, general, this matter is well known, you know me, and there will never be a third person to know."

Xu En once came out in order to rescue Gao Yulong and others, and also spent a lot of money.

"At six o'clock in the evening, you come to the garrison headquarters to find me, and bring all the documents."

After Liang Xiao finished speaking, he took Chen Hua and the guards and left.

Xu Enzeng breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Gao Yulong and Songhu District were arrested, his mission in Nanjing would be completed.

......... Garrison Command.

The rescue of the Zhongtong agents was just a small episode.

Liang Xiao's main energy was still in the war against Japan.

At present, large-scale wars are taking place in Hangzhou, Zhenjiang, Wuhu and other places, especially the most tragic and spectacular war in Hangzhou. More than 6 national army troops under the command of Huang Jie fought fiercely with two divisions of the Japanese army for several days in the area of ​​Hangzhou. Win or lose.

Huang Jie was very tenacious in this battle, which made Liang Xiao look at him with admiration. Of course, it also had a lot to do with the troops in Hangzhou. The defeat of the Japanese Army Regiment highlighted the overall combat effectiveness of the tax police. After the war, the name of the head of the regiment was spread all over Songhu. His name was Sun Liren, and he was a high-achieving student who graduated from West Point Military Academy.

Gui Yongqing led a teaching brigade of more than 1 people and made great achievements in the Hangzhou battlefield. The soldiers in the teaching brigade were all Whampoa military students with good military qualities. The prestige of soldiers.

There are also two divisions of the Eighth Army, which are fighting the Japanese army head-on, without losing the wind in the slightest.

There are also various local troops, which also performed well on the Hangzhou battlefield.

With the order of the Garrison Command, Liang Xiao sent a message of commendation to the Hangzhou Frontline Command, congratulating the achievements of the Hangzhou Frontline Troops, and hoped that they would make persistent efforts and achieve breakthrough victories.

In Wuhu, a Japanese brigade from Huzhou plunged headlong into the pocket formation of the 66th Army. The battle lasted for a whole day. The Japanese brigade suffered heavy casualties, and the 66th Army also suffered heavy casualties. More than 4000 people fought in total. The battlefield of death, the two sides are still in the middle of a fierce battle.

The 66th Army sent a telegram in the afternoon, saying that they had tightened their pockets and decided to eat up the Japanese brigade that came from Huzhou.

Liang Xiao planned to call back, agreeing to the plan of the 66th Army, and let them eat up the Japanese brigade with confidence and boldness. He had ordered the neighboring troops to send troops to cover the left and right wings of the 66th Army.

The 74th Division of the Japanese Army was fighting fiercely with the [-]th Army in Huangmei. Wang Yaowu personally supervised the army and caught the Japanese army by surprise. Now he has stabilized the position in Huangmei and blocked the attack of the [-]th Division of the enemy.

The Japanese troops coming from all directions were almost all desperately counterattacked by the peripheral troops of the national army, and the battle fell into a stalemate. However, according to Liang Xiao's estimation, the stalemate was only temporary. Many, they have planes in the sky, and tanks and artillery on the ground. The national army can temporarily block them by virtue of the terrain advantage. After a long time, the Japanese army's firepower advantage will be highlighted, and the national army's disadvantages will also be exposed.

Therefore, his requirement for the peripheral troops is to hold the peripheral positions for a week, and the local troops will carry out fortified walls to clear the fields, evacuate the people in the area to be occupied, and transport away all the food and cloth.

Judging from the current situation, except for the performance of Hu Zongnan's First Army, which is somewhat unsatisfactory, the performance of the rest of the troops is remarkable, such as the Second Detachment of the Tax Police in Hangzhou, the Teaching Brigade, the 74th Army, 66 Army and other troops.

The fierce battle on the outside is in full swing, and the defense on the inside is also under construction.

In Nanjing, the gendarmerie and police forces are scrambling to transport Nanjing’s civil and military items, such as library documents, museum cultural and military items, etc. These things are historical witnesses of the Chinese nation and have extraordinary significance and value.

Regardless of whether Nanjing can be held or not, Liang Xiao will not watch the cultural relics of the Chinese nation be destroyed in the flames of war.

"Military seat, a telegram from the Shanghai Navy intelligence station."

Tang Menghan came over.

Liang Xiao was signing documents related to the relocation of cultural relics. Hearing what she said, he hurriedly put down the documents in his hand, took the telegram and looked at it.

The Shanghai Navy Intelligence Station has found out that the Commander of the Shanghai Dispatch Army Hatohiko Asaka is receiving treatment at the Army Hospital and is currently out of danger.

This information was sent by the Shanghai Navy Intelligence Station through the inside line of the Japanese Army Headquarters, and its credibility is very high.

"Inform the assassination team that King Hatohiko Asaka is still alive, let them prepare for the next assassination."

Liang Xiao said.

"Yes."

Tang Menghan nodded slightly.

"Is there any news from the Shanghai intelligence station?"

Liang Xiao asked.

"there is none left."

Tang Menghan shook her head lightly.

"Oh, go get busy."

Liang Xiao waved his hand, telling Tang Menghan to go down and get busy.

In the evening, Xu En once came to him with the documents he had prepared in advance, detailing the details of the arrests in Songhu District of the Zhongtong and the names of the arrested persons.

Since Liang Xiao agreed to this matter, he will do his best, especially Gao Yulong.

This person is his nail into the Zhongtong, if he dies, he will lose his eyes and ears in the Zhongtong.

After thinking about it, he handed over this matter to the Shanghai Military Intelligence Station, telling them not to be reckless, and only do it when they are sure of success. If they are not sure, then don't do it. ,Doi,... Yuan Xianji 2 personally went to Shanghai to set up a special agency. This person is very cunning, and he worried that the Shanghai Navy Intelligence Station would not be his opponent.

However, he doesn't need to worry, the chess piece he buried in Wusongkou is actively playing its role, and it won't be long before Tu Fei... Yuan's list of intelligence agents will appear on his desk.

Chapter 59January [-]

Gregorian calendar, January [-]st.

On this day, the Wuhan government sent a delegation of Chinese and foreign journalists to Nanjing for coverage.

On this day, the battle in Hangzhou was fierce, and thousands of soldiers of the national army shed blood on the battlefield.

On this day, the Wuhan government officially issued an external statement stating that no distinction is made between north and south, and people, regardless of age, are all responsible for defending the territory and resisting the war. The committee announced to the world that China officially declared war on Japan.

From the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War four years ago until the August [-]th Songhu Battle, the government never declared war on Japan to the world. This time the government was forced to relocate to Wuhan. The mediation of Western countries, if you want peace, you must resist. Only in this way, the Chinese nation will not become a subjugated slave.

On this day, Liang Xiao, the commander of the Nanjing Garrison, spoke to Chinese and foreign reporters. It is a great shame for soldiers to invade, the country is lost, and compatriots are humiliated. outside the capital.

On this day, Matsui Iwane, commander of the Central China Dispatch Army, declared in Suzhou that he would conquer the capital in half a month and sweep the Celestial Empire in two months.

The outbreak of a large-scale war between China and Japan has attracted the attention of foreign media. Japan and China are the largest countries in Asia. Since the Sino-Japanese War, China has been dubbed the sick man of East Asia, and Japan has become a military power in Asia. The war in this Asian country has attracted the attention of the whole world. However, judging from the development of the war, the Japanese army is much better than the Chinese army in terms of equipment and firepower. If the Chinese army wants to win this war, it must pay Great price.

On this day, the Tokyo headquarters received intelligence from the Nanjing spy organization, saying that most of the arsenals, fuel depots, and materials in Nanjing were burned down.

The base camp forwarded this information to the headquarters of the Central China Expeditionary Army. After the commander Matsui Iwane received the telegram, he immediately sent more than ten reconnaissance planes to fly over Nanjing for reconnaissance.

After careful investigation by the Japanese reconnaissance plane, it was confirmed that a large-scale explosion occurred in the city, and Matsui Iwane determined from this that the arsenal and oil depot in the city were blown up.

He hastily ordered the [-]th Division, the [-]th Division, and the [-]th Division to quickly attack the frontline positions in Nanjing.

In order to respond to the attack of the three 3rd divisions, he mobilized all the aircraft from Hongkou Airport and the Naval Air Force to form a large-scale bomber group to cover the bombing advance of the 3rd divisions of the Tenth Army towards Nanjing.

In Matsui Iwane's view, the national army ran out of ammunition, and it was a good time to annihilate them in one fell swoop. Therefore, he distributed all the ammunition to the three 3rd divisions of the Tenth Army, putting all his eggs in one basket, and accomplished his merits in one battle.

Under the command of Commander Yanagawa Heisuke, the three 3rd divisions of the Tenth Army tore a hole from Zhenjiang and rushed towards Wulong Mountain. The First Army guarding Zhenjiang could not stop the crazy Japanese attack. Get out of the perimeter.

Guarding Wulong Mountain is the No.18 Army of the National Army, the original army of Chief of Staff Chen Cheng, well-equipped and high-quality soldiers, led by Army Commander Luo Zhuoying, and deployed a large defensive formation on Wulong Mountain.

The [-]th Division of the Japanese Army was the main force and arrived at Wulong Mountain first, and exchanged fire with the forward troops of the [-]th Army.

The No.18 Army defended the Wulong Mountain position with great difficulty under the cooperation of the Japanese infantry and artillery. The fierce artillery fire completely submerged Wulong Mountain. It was the first time that Army Commander Luo Zhuoying had been in command of such a large-scale infantry for so many years. The bombs of the Japanese bombers, especially the Japanese bombers, were thrown down desperately as if they didn’t want money.

Luo Zhuoying was neither timid nor fearful of battle, he obeyed the order of the garrison headquarters and stood firm on Wulong Mountain for three days, even if he took the entire Eighteenth Army with him, he would not hesitate to do so.

Garrison Command.

Liang Xiao closed his eyes slightly, and sat on the command chair, his ears were filled with the voices of the transmitter and the staff.

"Report, Commander, No. 18 Army's forward position was blasted open by the Japanese."

"Report, Commander, the Yamada Detachment of the Japanese Army attacked Tuqiao, the 74th Army suffered heavy casualties, and it couldn't hold back."

"Report, Commander, Hu Zongnan's First Army has jumped out of the outer front and is advancing secretly towards Hangzhou."

"Report, Commander, the No. 60 Sixth Army annihilated the Japanese brigade and moved towards Hangzhou this afternoon."

"Report, Commander, Deputy Commander Sun of the Special Warfare Division telegraphed that he had intercepted the munitions and supplies brought ashore by the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet, and is currently urgently transporting the Japanese military supplies to Hangzhou.

"Report, Commander, Xu Yuanquan, the commander of the Second Army, has called. The soldiers are marching along the lower reaches of Wuhu and are biting the enemy's Guoqi detachment."

The combat staff officer finished reading the telegrams.

After listening to the telegram.

Liang Xiaoteng sat up from the command chair, and looked at the military map with dark and deep eyes.

日军20多万兵力,目前已经分割开来,敌华中派遣军下第三,第六师团正在杭州和黄杰指挥的六万国军激战,第九,No.16师正在嘉兴,苏州一带沿着沪宁线前进,不出意外,第九,No.16师将会在杭州和第三,第六师团汇合,与此同时,胡宗南的第一军,徐源泉的第二军团,No.60六军,地方部队十个10保安团,江宁要塞部队,正分别从各地急行军赶往杭州.

Hangzhou will be the second battlefield of the national army.

He has calculated that the first army, the second army and other troops add up to about 10 people, plus the more than 6 national army commanded by Huang Jie, excluding the actual number of casualties, there are about 14 people. The Chinese cut off all the passages from Hangzhou to Nanjing, blocked the 14 troops sent by Central China, and made the Tenth Army of the Japanese Army a lone army.

There is a saying in the art of war that a lone army going deep is a taboo in the art of war. Matsui Iwane happened to commit this taboo. He hurriedly ordered the three 3rd divisions of the 3th Army to attack Nanjing desperately before investigating the information clearly. The Central China Dispatch Army in the Suzhou-Hangzhou area was unable to keep up with the blockade of the national army. At this time, as long as all the retreat routes of the Tenth Army were cut off, the Tenth Army's three 8rd divisions had [-] people. Can't advance or retreat.

不过,第十军战斗力向来强悍,梁萧留在南京作战的部队有他的26军,71,72,74,78,十八军,一共六个66军,加上宪兵部队,警备部队,警察部队,忠义救国军三个3支队,总兵力约为15万人150.
