Chapter 8 Missed Opportunity (Part 2) (Leader

Thanks to the book friend "Gao Chu" for giving me 100,000 yuan.

#############

Xu Shijiu felt a stern. At this time, the headquarters suddenly called. Could it be that the plan had changed? But the beheading operation of the Blasting Naval Command had already begun, just like the arrow shot can no longer be taken back. If the operation was forced to stop, it would be very likely that the opportunity to blast the Naval Command would be missed forever. Xu Shijiu shouted to the one-eyed dragon: "Along, go!"

Unfortunately, Zhu Xia's reaction was not slow either. In a flash, he also came back and shouted loudly: "Slow down!"

Xu Shijiu shouted loudly: "The general attack time is coming soon. When the artillery registrar and the 10th registrar sounded, we would never have the chance to break into the Japanese concession again. This matter must not be delayed anymore. Aaron, act immediately!"

One-eyed dragon looked at Zhu Xia and Xu Shijiu again, but for a moment I didn't know what to do.

The chief officer Cao Baba came up and said breathing: "Captain, attend the seat, the headquarters phone number."

"Ajiu, answer the phone first." Zhu Xia pushed Xu Shijiu and walked towards the brigade headquarters. The team members lined up looked at each other. Xie Gouzi and Gao Fengzi, who had already stepped on the motorcycle, also had a tangled expression. It was not easy to make a decision to die calmly. Now they have to sit here and wait. That bad feeling can make people crazy!

As Xu Shijiu expected, the order of the general attack on Dawn was indeed cancelled.

"The general offensive can be postponed, but the beheading action must not be postponed. It must be implemented as planned." Xu Shijiu put down the phone repeatedly and said to Zhu Xia firmly.

"No." Zhu Xia said decisively, "The order to go up to the peak is to postpone all actions, including beheading action."

"Old Zhu, Chief of Staff Zhu!" Xu Shijiu said anxiously, "You are not unaware of the situation. Aaron's informant has already set off from the Naval Hospital in a field ambulance. Whether the beheading operation is carried out or not, he has been exposed. If we missed today, we may not have the chance to explode the Naval Command!"

"No matter what, the beheading operation must be postponed!" Zhu Xia did not allow Xu Shijiufen to say at all, and said decisively, "This is Commander-in-Chief Zhang's military order, and it is the will of the leader, and it must be implemented without fail."

"Commander-General Zhang's military order? The leader's will?" Xu Shijiu shook his head and sat back on the chair dejectedly, "We lost before the battle started in the Songhu War, we had already lost, lost..."

"Xu Shijiu, it's so alarmist." Zhu Xia was quite unhappy when he heard this.

"Speak out in a dangerous way?" Xu Shijiu said tragically, "Chief of Staff, why do you pretend to be against your will?

If the war begins at this time, the Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai are not prepared enough, and the first batch of reinforcements will be exhausted. Our army will have the opportunity to drive them down the Huangpu River in one go. If the war starts in two days, the Japanese army will have already connected the outer strongholds into a complete chain of fortifications. At that time, they will only be able to fight from house to street. Facing the well-trained and well-prepared Japanese army, the chance of victory is slim."

Zhu Xia disagreed: "Even if we fight street battles, our army may not lose to the Japanese."

Xu Shijiu took out two books, "Japanese Infantry Training Classic" and "Infantry Cannon Coordination Tactics of Army University", shook the pages to Zhu Xia, and sighed: "Can you help me get these two books, I believe you have studied the Japanese army. Do you think you, the Army officers, can defeat the officers of the Japan Army University?"

Zhu Xia retorted: "The Japanese officers are indeed more solid than us based on military thought and military theory, but our group of people are all fighting hard from the battlefield, with richer practical experience. Both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages. From a military perspective alone, the winner should be between 55."

"The number of five or five?" Xu Shijiu said sneered, "I'll say something to kill my heart. With the same military strength and the same equipment level, you are the major army officers who fight against Japanese major army officers. If you can win ten battles once, you should burn incense! If you consider the constraints of your superiors, you may not even be able to win a battle."

Zhu Xia said unhappily: "Xu Shijiu, please don't be ambitious and destroy your own prestige!"

It happened that Scar was standing at the door with his own hands and looked inside. Zhu Xia ordered angrily: "Old Dao, go and disband the troops. Everything was an exercise before. Tell the brothers that Shangfeng was very satisfied with their performance, especially Xie Gouzi and Gao Crazy. I will ask the headquarters for commendation."

Exercise? Scar, looking at each other with one hand.

At dawn on August 12, the sound of gunfire from the National Army finally did not sound.

At 8 a.m., Dachuan Shiqi summoned more than a dozen infantry, artillery, and chariot soldiers to start dividing defense areas.

The old Japanese devil of Okawa didn't know that he had just escaped a death disaster. He was walking around his neck legs, walking around the long conference table, and walking to the map posted on the wall at the other end of the conference room, and then pointed to the map with a bamboo pole and said: "The 3rd Infantry Battalion is equipped with the 3rd Mortar Squadron, the 3rd Tank Squadron, the 3rd Warriors Bridge, and along the Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway.

The 1st Infantry Battalion is equipped with the 1st Detachment of the War Vehicles, the area of ​​the Hongkou Park.

The 6th Infantry Battalion and the 2nd Infantry Battalion are equipped with the 1st Mortar Squadron to guard the Yangshupu area.

The 5th Infantry Battalion is equipped with the 2nd Mortar Squadron, the 2nd Tank Squadron, and the 2nd Warriors, and the guards along Hujiang University, Gongda Stift Factory, and Naval Club.

The remaining infantry brigades, artillery squadrons and chariot detachments are the general reserve teams.”

With the arrangement of the Japanese commander of Okawa, one after another, the Japanese chief officer suddenly stood up from his seat, and in the end all the dozen officers had stood up.

The old devil of Otaku put down the bamboo pole again and said with a serious expression: "Everyone, Okamoto-kun finally persuaded the consulates of Western countries in Shanghai to put pressure on the Chinese government, and this has bought us two days of preparation time. We must not let Okamoto down on his good intentions. Please be sure to manage their respective defense zones with care."

"Hayi." More than a dozen Japanese officers stood at attention and suddenly lowered their heads.

The old devil of Okawa pulled the hem of his military uniform again, then stood at attention facing the east, and shouted with a passionate expression: "In this battle, we should fight to fight the enemy with the will to decide the death and the supreme courage. We should offer gifts to His Majesty the Emperor, long live the empire, and long live His Majesty the Emperor."

#############

At 9 a.m., the one-eyed dragon walked into the 19th Brigade headquarters in a furious manner.

"Captain, attend the seat. The plainclothes of the Japanese secret service have arrested my informant. Although Boss Du has agreed to come forward to protect the person, I guess it is a little bit of a disaster. The explosives we hid in the French Concession were also found by the Japanese plainclothes, and they were checked through the police station in the French Concession."

"What?" Zhu Xia's face changed drastically, "The Japanese have such a strong sense of smell?"

One-eyed dragon said depressedly: "The Japanese agents probably discovered the clues from the false report."

Xu Shijiu sighed: "Don't forget that the Japanese have special agent training institutions. Five years ago, the 128th Shanghai War of Resistance. Are we still suffering from the Japanese agents? "

Zhu Xia asked the one-eyed dragon again, "Can the explosives be brought back?"

Xu Shijiu sighed again: "Chief of Staff, you won't be like your leader, and you still have unrealistic fantasies about Westerners until now, right? Wake up, Westerners only have their own interests in their eyes, and they will never offend the Japanese for our China."

Zhu Xia was speechless again because he had no way to refute.

Just half an hour ago, Zhu Xia had just learned the inside story of the sudden cancellation of the combat plan in the early morning of this morning through his classmates from the Ministry of Military Affairs. The reason for the incident was very simple. The consulates in Britain, France, the United States and other countries in Shanghai sent a note to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the National Government through the Shanghai Municipal Government, saying that the Japanese side did not want the situation to expand and suggested that Shanghai establish a free port without defense.

People without military vision can guess that this must be the Japanese trick. Zhu Xia did not think that the senior officials of the General Staff of the Military Commission could not guess the Japanese's ambitions, but they still ordered the cancellation of the combat plan. Obviously, this was out of the will of the leader. Why did the leader do this? It was obviously because he had fantasies about the Westerners.

According to Xu Shijiu's heart-breaking remarks, Chairman Jiang is actually very clear that the Japanese will never be trustworthy. The so-called opening of Shanghai as a free port is just a delay in time. In the end, the Japanese will definitely change their minds, and the Westerners will definitely not have actual sanctions because of the Japanese's betrayal. At most, it is just a few verbal protests.

But even so, Chairman Jiang still hopes that this incident will make Westerners feel guilty towards the National Government. In this way, when Westerners need to come forward to mediate next time, they may feel sympathy because of guilt, and more likely to make decisions that tend to be inclined to the National Government because of sympathy. It must be said that this is really wishful thinking.

Sure enough, the One-Eyed Dragon then replied: "The captain is right. The Frenchman is not a good thing. They have already spoken that they will destroy the explosives in front of the Japanese."

"If you destroy it, destroy it. Even if you don't cut off the Japanese's heads, we will still fight this battle and can still win." Zhu Xia said to himself and cheered himself up, "I don't believe it. We have 450 million people, and there are also Xie Gouzi, a good soldier like Gao Crazy, who is not afraid of death, but can't fight against a mere little Japanese?"

#############

"Brother Gouzi, are you resting?" The recruit Ergua smiled flatteringly and squatted beside Xie Gouzi.

Xie Gouzi glanced at Ergua coldly, ignored it, and continued to fiddle with the Maxim heavy machine gun in his hand. Ergua didn't care at all. While looking at Xie Gouzi with admiration, he said, "Brother Gouzi, I admire you. If I hadn't made such a decision, I would be terrible."

"Get out!" Xie Gouzi was furious when he heard this and kicked Ergua to the ground.

Before dawn, I went to the gate of hell to close and walked around. Until now, Xie Gouzi has not fully recovered, so Ergua's words seemed to be mocking him for fear of death, which sounded particularly harsh.

Ergua fell down and was not angry.

A rough big hand reached out from the side and pulled Ergua from the ground. Ergua turned her head, but it was another veteran who made him admire him so much that he could not do it - Gao Crazy.

"This guy is just a dog-tempered person. Why should he call him Xie Gouzi?" Gao Crazy looked at Xie Gouzi and said to Ergua with a kind look, "Don't pay attention to him."

Ergua nodded vigorously and said, "Brother Mad, you always admire you."

"What's there to worship?" Gao Caizi shook his head, "Actually, I'm as afraid of death as Xie Gouzi."

"No, if you are afraid of death, if you are also afraid of death, you will no longer find soldiers in the national army who are not afraid of death."

"Ergua, you don't understand now." Gao Caizi shook his head. No one is afraid of death. The reason they voluntarily went to bomb the Japanese Navy headquarters was because they had a reason to have to stand up because they owe the captain a life.

Ergua scratched her head and asked curiously: "Brother Madman, you are so kind, why do they call you crazy?"
