The "Silver Flash" launched its maximum speed and quickly advanced towards Wuhan on the Yangtze River.
Many heavyweights attacked this ship.
Dai Li, a Soviet pilot aiding China, was about to be promoted to deputy director of the Military Command Bureau, and Meng Shaoyuan, director of the Shanghai Special Office.
Once any accident occurs, the damage will be immeasurable.
The control of the river was firmly in the hands of the Japanese.
Meng Shaoyuan was not panicked at all.
Cai Xuefei also asked him how he could survive the collapse of Mount Tai without changing his appearance.
"The color doesn't change? I'm so scared that I'm going to wet my pants."
Meng Shaoyuan's words made Cai Xuefei blush, but he said to himself: "How can there be so many people who don't change their color? I'm scared, scared to death. If the Japanese really risk everything to board the ship , then everything will be over. I will be arrested, Mr. Dai will be arrested, the Soviet pilot will be arrested, you will all be arrested. But what is the use of being afraid? Can I stop the Japanese from doing this by being afraid? This is an attempt to impose composure.”
How can there be so many people in the world whose appearance remains unchanged despite the collapse of Mount Tai?
At least, he, Master Meng, was sure that he was definitely not such a person.
The Soviet pilot is on the ship, Mr. Dai is on the ship, his family is on the ship, and his subordinates are on the ship. Every move he makes will affect the morale of the military.
So no matter how scared you are, you have to hide it.
You have to take responsibility for this ship of people.
After hearing this, Cai Xuefei respected her husband even more. Everyone is afraid, but few dare to speak out about their fears.
"You are pregnant and have a good rest on the ship." Meng Shaoyuan ordered: "I'll go see the guests."
The guest he was talking about was, of course, Dai Li.
His family members still don't know that their man's immediate boss is on this ship.
"Mr. Dai."
"come in."
Meng Shaoyuan pushed the door open and then closed the cabin door: "Mr. Dai, you will arrive in Wuhan tomorrow morning."
"Well, I seem to have faintly heard the sound of bombing." Dai Li closed the file: "Madang Fortress has been lost. The Japanese army's next target is Jiujiang and is gradually forming an encirclement of Wuhan. Wuhan is in danger."
"Mr. Dai, I thought the Chairman and the Nationalist Government were leading the Japanese." Meng Shaoyuan suddenly said this.
"Oh, really?" Dai Li said calmly, "Why?"
"The Yellow River burst its banks." Meng Shaoyuan said without time to think: "The Yellow River burst its banks in Huayuankou, Zhengzhou on June 9. Three million people in more than 40 counties in central Henan and northern Anhui were made homeless. We paid heavy losses. Shao Yuan boldly said that this is a stain that the Chairman and the government can never erase, and this matter will always be recorded in future history books."
"Presumptuous!" Dai Li scolded angrily in a low voice, but then he calmed down and said, "Go on."
"Yes." Meng Shaoyuan continued: "But we suffered heavy losses, and the Japanese suffered heavy losses as well. The Yellow River water turned the Japanese invaders' 100,000 troops into independent and helpless islands, forcing them to stop pursuing the national army and instead focus on flood control. The floods also blocked the Japanese invaders' subsequent replenishment of food, weapons and ammunition. The Japanese invaders in the flood areas were waiting among mosquitoes, plague, hunger and panic. You know, summer has arrived.
More important is the military significance. The Japanese army was isolated on the east bank of the New Yellow River and was forced to change the main line of the invasion of Wuhan along the Huaihe River to the west along the Yangtze River as the main line of the invasion of Wuhan, and use the north side of the Dabie Mountains southward as the auxiliary line of advance. At this time, our army officers and soldiers have calmly deployed 120 divisions along the Yangtze River and in the Dabie Mountains, waiting for the enemy. "
Having said this, he quietly looked at Dai Li and found that his face was expressionless:
"Mr. Dai, I think that since the Anti-Japanese War, although our army has suffered repeated setbacks on the frontal battlefield, the entire combat strategy has been clear and focused on the west. If the Japanese invaders attack from west to east and force the national army to the seaside, the war will It's over. For the national army, this is the most dangerous route of attack. When Kublai Khan destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, he detoured eastward from Sichuan and broke through from Xiangfan, Hubei Province, along the Han River to the Yangtze River, and took the capital directly. Lin'an drove Emperor Song to the ends of the earth in Hainan and threw himself into the sea.
The same was true at the end of the Ming Dynasty. After the Qing army entered the Pass and completed the Qing Dynasty in Shaanxi, they sent their troops southeast and reached Yangzhou. Shi Kefa could not hold on, and eventually the city of Nanjing fell. The small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty had to flee to the southern coast, where they were captured and massacred. Therefore, the deaths of the Song and Ming Dynasties were all caused by the enemy cutting off the western rear and fighting with their backs to the sea. It was a strategic mistake!
The Nationalist Government must not embark on this path of no return. Therefore, the Chairman of the Generalissimo formulated the entire strategic guidance. On the one hand, he held firm in North China to block the Japanese army; on the other hand, he induced the Japanese army to start the war from the east, and the Chinese army gradually retreated to the southwestern rear area. In particular, the Battle of Xuzhou once again induced the Japanese army to shift their attention to the northern front, gaining several months to prepare military defenses along the Yangtze River. Without the Battle of Xuzhou, there would not have been the current Battle of Wuhan. "
After saying that, he stood there without daring to say another word.
"You have a very strategic vision, Shao Yuan." Dai Li's voice was slow: "Maybe you can be a good soldier if you are asked to lead the troops in the war, but it would be better if you were a little less courageous. Forget it, let you, Master Meng, become more courageous. Xiao, it’s not that simple.”
Young Master Meng is extremely daring. No one in the military command knows this.
"Before I came, the commissioner met with me specially." Dai Li suddenly changed the topic: "Wuhan must be defended, but not to death. After achieving the strategic goal, Wuhan can be abandoned like Xuzhou. The commissioner told clearly I, even if the national army withdraws from Wuhan in the future, Wuhan’s resistance will not stop for a moment.
Wuhan is an important town in the country. I will take it as the center and include the surrounding areas to form a huge resistance force. At the same time, I will deploy a large number of lurking personnel to carry out investigation, instigation and sabotage work. Previously, I have held two crash training courses in Wuhan, and now the third one has begun. Now that you are in Wuhan, help me teach them a lesson. "
This was the second time Dai Li made this request to him.
Last time, I was too busy with work and had no time to spare. This time Dai Li mentioned it again, and there was no reason to refuse anyway.
Let yourself go to class?
Teacher Meng?
Anyway, no matter what others say, no matter how he looks at Young Master Meng, he doesn't feel like he has a teacher.
"This is one." Dai Li added: "Second, I have formed an in-depth lurking team with thirty members, all of whom are carefully selected. I need you to help me identify which people are suitable. Those who are lurking need to be eliminated.”
This is a huge responsibility.
This means that in addition to Dai Li, he also has the entire list of the high-level latent group in Wuhan. If something goes wrong in the future, who will be responsible?
Dai Li could tell at a glance what his subordinates were worried about: "Shao Yuan, I know this job is not easy. Those who are eliminated by you will definitely be resented by you. Those who are left behind may not say good things about you. If they are exposed in the future, it will not be me, but you who will be suspicious. But someone has to do this work, so you should bear this burden."
"Mr. Dai, Shaoyuan is not afraid." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "Shaoyuan was directly commanded by Mr. Dai, not by Zhang San and Li Si. They doubted me, and I have a clear conscience and an open mind. As long as Mr. Dai does not doubt me, it will be fine. .”
"Except for your ridiculous behavior, there is nothing to doubt." Dai Li smiled: "Help me with my duties loyally. Don't worry about the rumors outside. They won't affect you. You are fighting in the front, and I will be your orderly in the rear. .”
"Shao Yuan doesn't dare."
"There's nothing to be afraid of." Dai Li sighed softly: "Those of us in the rear are relatively safer. As for you, fighting on the front line and narrowly escaping death, if you can't even put out the fire behind your buttocks, how can you concentrate on your work? The party-state is doing things? So don’t worry, just go ahead and do it. If the sky falls, I will help you hold it together."
Having said this, of course Meng Shaoyuan couldn't say anything more.
"One more thing." Dai Li said after pondering for a while: "I know that the three giants in Shanghai seem to have unlimited glory, but there are still some conflicts between you, right?"
"Yes." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "Not only is there a contradiction, the contradiction is also deep. If it hadn't been for Yanagawa's incident this time, there would have been no cooperation between us. Basically, we would have done our own thing."
Dai Li fell silent.
After a long while, he said: "As an organization grows, conflicts will naturally arise, and no one can avoid it. Zhou Weilong is a veteran, he has helped me a lot, and even helped the chairman of the committee. Cheng Yiming is survived by As a backer, you made a lot of contributions in the early days. You are the person I like the most."
"Mr. Dai." Meng Shaoyuan said immediately: "Conflicts definitely exist, but now everything else is a trivial matter. Personal grudges can be completely put aside. Shaoyuan still knows this."
"As long as you know what to do, I will never treat someone who works hard. I also want to reorganize Shanghai, but the time has not come yet. The time has not come." Dai Li waved his hand:
"Okay, the most important thing now is Wuhan. How to do it specifically? I will ask someone to cooperate with you after arriving in Wuhan. I am a little tired and want to take a rest. You can go out first."
"Yes, Mr. Dai."
Meng Shaoyuan walked out.
I originally thought that I could go back to Shanghai after arriving in Wuhan, but I didn't expect that I would have to be a teacher and an assessor. It seemed that I would have to stay in Wuhan for a while.
Meng Shao was originally on the ship, but his heart was in Shanghai.
The Doihara Agency is about to be established, and the time is being counted on one's fingers. When a powerful enemy appears and he is not in charge in Shanghai, he is always a little uneasy.
According to what Dai Li just said, Shanghai will soon undergo a rectification. How can I seize this opportunity?
The Big Three sounds good, but when it comes to actual fighting, they each fight in their own way. This is tantamount to weakening their own strength invisibly. On the contrary, it will also give the Japanese an opportunity to take advantage of them!
