"You brat, if peace talks happen, do you really want to be Li Hongzhang?"
"Ouch... stop it, Sister Qing, this is the headquarters! There are too many people and be careful with gossip. My little brother is away on military duty, hehe!" An Yi flashed past the beautiful Ye Qing and hurried downstairs.
Ye Qing caught up with An Yi angrily and grabbed An Yi's sleeve: "Don't worry! I was sent by Minister Chen to interview you. I will have to cross the river to interview General Hu Jialin later."
An Yi stopped and stared at Ye Qing's seductive eyes. He immediately understood the reason and understood that this was the result of President Jiang's instruction. As the original Sun Ke and Wang Jingwei governments abolished the post of Commander-in-Chief, Chiang Kai-shek came to power.
Established later
He joined the Central Military Commission and was "elected" as the sole chairman of the Military Commission. Even An Yi was included as an alternate member. Chiang Kai-shek made the change with a slight twist of his wrist. The rights of the new position were much greater than those of the original commander-in-chief.
.
At this time, Chairman Chiang must be eager to show his position of defending the homeland and loving the country and the people to the soldiers and civilians across the country. The best way to express this position is to grit his teeth and fight the invaders with real swords and guns.
The best and fastest way is to guide public opinion.
It can be said that Chen Guofu and Chen Lifu decisively ordered the Central News Agency to interview An Yi, a representative of the independent division of the powerful Hundred Battles Army and the young warrior faction in the army, which was a very direct and effective smart move.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen it before?" Ye Qing glared at An Yi dissatisfied.
"Okay, let's talk while we walk. Take my car to the dock. I'm about to hold a military meeting at the Independent Division. But don't enter the headquarters of the Independent Division during the meeting. They are all military secrets. If they are leaked, it will be detrimental to the overall situation of the War against Japan... You
You can go interview the soldiers first."
An Yi said as he walked downstairs and politely opened the car door to let Ye Qing go in first, then got in, sat next to Ye Qing, and ordered the car to drive straight to Zhongshan Pier.
Twenty-five minutes later, An Yi boarded the ferry, transferred to an independent division car, and, escorted by a group of veteran subordinates, drove quickly to Liuhe Camp. As soon as he entered the camp, Ye Qing saw Yin Jinan, Yang Bin, and Gu Chang
Feng, Xie Chi and more than ten non-independent
The division general was extremely surprised. Before he could say hello to these old friends, he heard An Yi's excited cheers. Ye Qing turned around and saw that An Yi was hugging three young officers wearing colonel uniforms, and he was very excited.
Endless.
Yin Jinan smiled at Ye Qing and said, "Miss Ye, don't you remember these three people? After the Longyou battle four years ago, Miss Ye interviewed them..."
"Oh my god! I remember! It's Ye Cheng, Yang Fei...and Qu Muchen! Oh my god...it's been four years..." Ye Qing happily walked forward and got cordial with Ye Cheng and others.
shake hands.
The elegant Ye Cheng pretended to be surprised and asked: "How come Miss Ye is still exactly the same as four years ago, her appearance has not changed at all, my God! Tomorrow, I will ask my family member to come to learn how to retain youth, Jiao
Yan Yongzhu.”
Everyone laughed, Ye Qing smiled happily, and turned to Yang Fei, who was much more mature and strong: "Sir Yang is not what he used to be, his demeanor has changed, and Commander Qu is still so gentle and gentle.
You’re polite, it seems that the few years of living in Europe have benefited you a lot!”
"Isn't that right? Brother Mu Chen was snatched away by the General Staff Headquarters as soon as he came back. If the principal hadn't personally asked me to do a job, I would never have let him go, haha! But that's fine. Brother Mu Chen is studying strategic research and advanced studies.
It is also an honor for all the brothers that the principal, the German chief instructor, and Chief Yang are interested in the staff major. Besides, in the future, we will have people up and down, so it will be much easier to do things!" An Yi explained with a smile.
Ye Qing nodded and suddenly asked: "You are all generals. The three of you are colonels and are talented people who returned from studying abroad. How come you still have the rank of colonel? It's not fair!"
"Ms. Ye, thank you! The three of us went to Germany to study safely, while the commander and the brothers kept working hard at home. Thinking about it, we are very ashamed. If we had not had to wait until early December last year to graduate, we would have graduated on September 1st last year.
We will come back with the commander eight days later."
Yang Fei sighed guiltily that he, like Hu Jialin, Yin Jinan and others, called An Yi commander.
An Yi said with a smile: "Sister Qing, please don't worry, the promotion orders for the three brothers will be issued tomorrow. Lao Ye will serve as the major general and deputy commander of the 24th Army, and Yang Fei will serve as the major general and commander of the 24th Army's teaching division."
Chief of Staff of the Army, Lao Qu serves as Major General Section Chief in the First Department of the General Staff Headquarters.
They are still my subordinates for the time being, haha! Lao Ye and Yang Fei are temporarily following me as my chief of staff, and will not take office until the current battle is over. Okay, Sister Qing, you can interview the lieutenant generals first, we will be there soon
There is a meeting about to begin. Please forgive me for not disturbing you during the meeting!"
"Okay, I'll walk around and take a look, you guys can get busy...wait Xiaoyi, will you go back to Sister Qian's house for dinner tonight?" Ye Qing stopped An Yi again.
An Yi turned around and said helplessly: "Try your best."
At eight o'clock in the evening, the temporary headquarters of the First Foreign Fleet of the Navy in the Japanese Concession in Shanghai.
Fleet Commander Koichi Shiozawa, Japanese Consul General Murai Somatsu, the new East China Special Military Staff Lieutenant Colonel Ishikawa Koichi, and the Commander of the Marine Corps Shanghai Expeditionary Force, together with more than ten leaders of the Japanese invasion of China, gathered together to face densely marked maps and complex intelligence.
feedback and conduct intense discussions.
Consul General Murai raised his slightly sweaty head and said rather remorsefully: "I'm really sorry. The consul in Suzhou and Hangzhou was negligent and did not report this important information, which caused trouble to you all. Please forgive me."
Yuki Shiozawa waved his hand broadly, took two steps and stopped slowly: "The important thing is that we have learned that an enemy division has arrived at Wuzhen, 30 kilometers west of Jiaxing. Basically, we can have some idea of the enemy's movements.
We have it, but unfortunately we don’t know the specific number of this unit yet... Takeda-kun, what is your intelligence department’s judgment on this?”
Colonel Yukiken Takeda of the Japanese Army's Shanghai Intelligence Section stepped forward: "There is no clear judgment yet. The two hired Chinese were arrested as soon as they approached the temple and have not been released yet. It seems that this Chinese army is very vigilant. Judging from their
Judging from the clothing, it is likely that they were temporarily transferred from the Jiangxi anti-communist battlefield.
Fang Jun, but there is an extremely important situation. They actually have a huge fleet of nearly a hundred trucks. Looking at the Chinese army, no other army except the Northeastern Army has so many military trucks. Even if they do, they will not dispatch them all at once.
Such a large number makes it impossible for us to judge.
Also, intelligence showed that at about 12 o'clock in the morning, a German transport plane landed at the simple Jiaxing Airport, and within five minutes it took off again heading west. It was impossible to peek because the airport was heavily guarded, but according to the judgment of my dispatched intelligence officer, the plane
Came to pick someone up.
According to the practice of the Chinese military, only those above the rank of commander can enjoy such high-standard treatment. We have reason to judge that this sudden appearance of an unknown army is probably an army, or a main division of a certain army."
Shiozawa Koichi nodded with satisfaction and turned to Ishikawa Koichi who was hesitant to speak: "Ishikawa-kun, you have stayed at the Central Army School in Nanjing for a long time and know the situation of the Chinese army best. What do you think about this?"
"General, my subordinates suspect that it may be the army of the famous young Chinese general An Yi." Ishikawa said loudly.
Everyone was shocked. Shiozawa Koichi came to Ishikawa with a solemn look on his face: "Tell me your reasons."
"Hey! Judging from the analysis of aircraft and huge convoys, only An Yi's troops in the Chinese army have this kind of strength. Secondly, intelligence shows that the 16th Division of the 24th Army, which An Yi once served as commander, has secretly stationed in Nanjing
The Liuhe military camp on the other side has been there for a long time. At first we suspected that it was for Chiang Kai-shek's reinstatement. Now it seems very suspicious.
Could this be the case? Or maybe it was not entirely the case. With An Yi's military resourcefulness, he would not do anything that would allow others to see through his intentions at a glance. If he allowed others to see through his intentions, it would be to paralyze his opponent on purpose. Therefore, his subordinates suspected Chiang Kai-shek.
After being reinstated, the 16th Division still stayed in Nanjing instead of returning to its base in the southwest. It had many problems in itself.
Big problem. Third, although An Yi’s troops stationed in Nanchang were almost all sent to the southwest, and three of the brigades were also recruited by his former teacher and current political enemy He Yingqin, An Yi’s troops stationed in Nanchang City and Nanchang County, fifteen kilometers to the south, were
Still left a regiment of logistics troops and a brigade of guard troops to ensure the safety of his military depot.
There are many enterprises in Quanhe, including many military industrial enterprises with advanced equipment and technology. Therefore, it is judged that it is very likely that An Yi's troops stationed in Nanchang felt that the situation was critical and quietly moved eastward. The number will not be more than one division, but the combat effectiveness is absolutely
Not under any Chinese army." Ishikawa expressed his opinion in detail.
Shiozawa Koichi, Murai and others nodded with satisfaction. Shiozawa Koichi smiled slightly and said disdainfully that it was just an army division, hundreds of kilometers away from Shanghai. By the time they entered the battlefield, all our heroic Japanese army would have landed and waited.
After speaking, they ordered the staff to make a black arrow on the map in the direction of Jiaxing and mark it with division-level symbols. They put aside this issue and began to conduct a final review of the upcoming military invasion.
The worry in Ishikawa's eyes flashed away. At this critical moment, there was no room for him to argue. What's more, there was no strong evidence to prove whether An Yi's troops were from the Japanese army to the Chinese army.
The huge psychological advantage and glory of existence
In terms of reputation, any opinions of Ishikawa at this time are probably not taken seriously, and may even attract scolding and slaps from the generals. Although Ishikawa is from a branch of the royal family, and although he has a deep understanding of China, with his current status and
There is no room to say anything about military rank.
At four o'clock in the morning on the 28th, more than 3,000 Japanese young men quietly entered the military camp from all directions in the concession, silently received the weapons and army uniforms issued by the officers and sergeants, and began to put on them. After being fully equipped, fourteen men were gathered into a unit.
Standing next to the sergeant sent temporarily, listen carefully to the explanation of weapons and equipment and the reading of military discipline.
Most of these more than 3,500 young overseas Chinese are members of the Japanese Youth Comrade Association. Among them are more than ten Japanese army intelligence personnel ranging from officers to captains and even majors.
Like idiots whose brains have been burned out by their militaristic bestiality education, they wore the military uniforms and suede shoes of ordinary soldiers, deliberately pretending not to know each other, and being respectful.
Standing respectfully around the arrogant sergeant, they will form one special operations group after another, using a certain official army designation to make up for the lack of numbers of the Marine Corps and the Japanese Army that came earlier. They will always accept orders and deal with the Chinese army.
Or carry out bloody attacks and crazy destruction of any residential buildings, shops, or factories in order to provoke greater troubles and ignite greater wars.
