Vol 3 Chapter 1099: Changsha

Chapter 1099 Changsha

“Sir, can I think of a name for myself?” Yang Qian asked Yu Pingan cautiously.

“No.” Yu Pingan shook his head directly.

The reason why he insists on giving students pseudonyms and not allowing students to choose their own names is because he is worried that students’ names will subconsciously be related to their relatives, friends, and family backgrounds.

Yu Pingan looked at Yang Qian and said, "Remember, from now on, your name will be Dong Shuxuan."

He handed over a piece of paper and said, "This is the material for your identity. I give you ten minutes to keep it in mind."

"yes."

ten minutes later.

“Yang Qian.” Yu Pingan suddenly shouted.

"exist."

Yu Pingan looked at Dong Shuxuan with a serious expression, "Yang Qian?"

“Sir, have you recognized the wrong person?” Dong Shuxuan asked knowingly.

Yu Pingan nodded with satisfaction and asked Dong Shuxuan about his background. Dong Shuxuan answered almost fluently, and he nodded with satisfaction.

A few minutes later, Yu Pingan stared at Zhao Shuyan.

Zhao Shuyan stood at attention, sweating on the tip of his nose due to nervousness.

“The guy who agreed to deliver Wang Jiaru’s letter has been shot.” Yu Ping’an suddenly said.

Zhao Shuyan opened his mouth slightly, but quickly regained his composure.

"This person died because of you to some extent." Yu Ping'an said, "Do you have anything to say?"

"He deserves to die." Zhao Shuyan said, "Even if he is not shot for this matter today, he may be executed for other things tomorrow."

Under Yu Ping'an's encouraging gaze, Zhao Shuyan continued, "Zeng Xiaonian should be very clear about what the Qianyang class does. He knows what should be done and what cannot be done. If he does something wrong, he should be punished accordingly."

"You are very special." Yu Ping'an took a deep look at Zhao Shuyan, "You give me the feeling that you were born to eat this bowl of rice."

Zhao Shuyan said nothing.

"Zhao Shuyan will no longer exist." Yu Ping'an handed over a piece of paper, "This is your new identity."

Zhao Shuyan took the paper and looked down.

“Zhao Shuyan?” Yu Pingan shouted.

The woman who was reading the ‘file’ on the paper did not raise her head.

“Zhao Shuyan.” Yu Pingan raised his voice.

The young female student raised her head and looked at Yu Pingan in surprise, "Sir, you called me? Sir, you must have mistaken the person. My subordinate's surname is Li Mingtongyun."

Lu Xinge held a magnifying glass in his hand and looked carefully at the words on the photo.

Cheng Qianfan was holding another photo and was lost in thought.

Seeing Lu Xinge put down the magnifying glass, he asked, "Brother, what can you see?"

“This is Suixian County.”

“This is Nanchang.”

"This is Changsha." Lu Xingge said, "My second brother has also thought of it."

Cheng Qianfan carefully checked the curtains to make sure that no light penetrated. He took out a piece of white paper and wrote and drew on it.

“Battle of Nanchang.” He handed the pencil to Lu Xingge.

Lu Xingge looked down and saw that his second brother had clearly drawn a simple combat map of our army and the Japanese army in the Battle of Nanchang on the paper.

“The Battle of Suizao.” Lu Xingge also wrote and drew on the blank space of the white paper. He drew a military diagram of the Battle of Suizao.

“So, the Japanese written on this photo.” Cheng Qianfan wrote the Japanese written on the paper he took out from the trash can on the paper:

"neck."

"can not breath."

"This should be said about the Battle of Suizao and the Battle of Nanchang."

In October last year, the Wuhan battle that lasted for more than five months ended.

Three towns in Wuhan fell, and the Battle of Wuhan failed.

However, the Japanese army also suffered heavy casualties.

At that time, both warring parties were exhausted and unable to fight anymore.

In this way, both warring parties entered the rest period with "very tacit understanding".

However, the Japanese Eleventh Army's Gangcun was worried.

At that time, there were 300,000 troops stationed in Gangcun in Wuhan, which looked like a person's head and his body was more than 800 kilometers away in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

The neck between the head and the body forms a long thin line.

Okamura knew very well that this long neck was now very fragile. Once the opponent seized the opportunity to cut it off, the Japanese army would be in a very passive situation.

Most importantly, although the Japanese army conquered Wuhan in one fell swoop, they were unable to cause large-scale casualties to the Chinese army and failed to achieve the goal of large-scale annihilation of China's combat forces set before the war.

With the Yangtze River as the boundary, the five theaters in the north of the Yangtze River are commanded by General Li, and the nine theaters in the south of the Yangtze River are in charge of the acting commander General Xue.

Li and Xue stuck the slender necks of the Japanese soldiers in Wuhan like iron pliers, preventing them from moving.

If this situation cannot be changed in time, the Japanese Eleventh Army will be permanently pinned and unable to escape.

As a result, Gangcun launched two battles in Nanchang and Suizao in the first half of this year.

In the Battle of Nanchang, the Chinese army was defeated and suffered more than 50,000 casualties. Division Commander Duan Langru was shot dead in front of the battle line. Army Commander Chen Anbao was killed in battle. Nanchang also fell into the hands of the Japanese army.

However, although the Battle of Nanchang failed, it was not without merit.

The Japanese army originally judged that after occupying Wuhan, the Chinese people's will to resist was greatly affected, and the Chinese army's fighting will was also affected.

However, although the Chinese army failed in the Battle of Nanchang, it fought tenaciously and caused considerable damage to the Japanese army.

Although the subsequent Suizao Battle lasted only twenty-three days, the Japanese suffered more than 15,000 casualties, but failed to gain any ground. They had to retreat to their original bases such as Zhongxiang and Yingshan, and China and Japan resumed the pre-battle situation. state of confrontation.

The national army defeated the Japanese invaders' attempt to occupy northern Hubei and then hijack eastern Sichuan.

 General Zhang of the 33rd National Army also avenged his previous humiliation in this battle. From being misunderstood as a "running away general", he became a general of resistance praised by the military and the people.

"In the Battle of Nanchang, although our army was defeated, our soldiers fought to the death, so even though we were defeated, it was still an honor." Cheng Qianfan said.

“The Japanese army was defeated in the Battle of Suizao. This battle was another exciting victory after Taierzhuang.” Lu Xingge said.

Both of them were deep in thought.

Lu Xingge scratched his chin, "Both the Battle of Nanchang and the Battle of Suizao happened several months ago. Why would the Japanese mention these two battles again at this time?"

He looked at Cheng Qianfan, "Second brother, do you know who is discussing these two battles?"

“I don’t know.” Cheng Qianfan shook his head.

He really doesn’t know.

What he needs now is his elder brother's military acumen to help him analyze. As for the information behind the intelligence, he will not reveal too much unless necessary.

It's not that he looks down on his eldest brother. He specializes in the arts. He is a good hand at leading troops in battles. He is also very good at leading people to assassinate people and beheading people on the street. However, intelligence analysis is not his strong point. In short, it is not that he is not good at it. An excellent agent, but compared to intelligence analysis, the eldest brother is a very good military commander. In terms of the entire military control of Shanghai, the eldest brother is one of the best military talents.

“It’s a pity that this photo is a bit blurry,” Lu Xingo said.

"My current consideration is whether the Japanese intend to launch a new offensive in Suizao." Cheng Qianfan said, shaking his head, "It's just..."

"It's not necessarily Suizao." Lu Xingge frowned and thought, "There is a greater possibility."

Cheng Qianfan looked at the photo. There was a place name mark on it:

Changsha!

He was just thinking about the possibility of Changsha.

Since the eldest brother also thinks so, this possibility has been raised to another level in his mind.

“Brother, what you mean is that the Japanese did not take advantage of Chief Li before, and they intend to take action against General Xue this time?” Cheng Qianfan asked thoughtfully.

"It's not impossible." Lu Xingge said thoughtfully. He looked at his second brother, "Three cobblers are just like Zhuge Liang. We can ask Chief Sheng for his opinion on this matter."

Sir Sheng?

Cheng Qianfan clicked his tongue. It was right for his eldest brother to call Sheng Shuyu that way.

The eldest brother Lu Xingge should still only have the rank of Captain Quanxu, two levels lower than Sheng Shuyu.

Of course, Lu Xingo is also two levels below him.

“Brother, why have you never called me sir?” he asked.

“I dare to shout, do you dare to agree?” Lu Xinge sneered.

“I don’t dare.” Cheng Qianfan smiled bitterly.

Tarasto Road, Police Hospital.

Morgue.

Cheng Qianfan and Lu Xingge came secretly and met Sheng Shuyu again as a corpse.

“Changsha.” Sheng Shuyu put down the two photos, pondered for a moment and said, looking at Cheng Qianfan’s gaze, he added, “If you ask me what I think, I think the Japanese are most likely to choose to attack Changsha.”

Cheng Qianfan and Lu Xingge looked at each other, and both nodded.

Although Sheng Shuyu has always been aloof and arrogant, he is indeed very capable.

“Let’s talk about the reasons why the Japanese chose Changsha now.” Cheng Qianfan said, “I’ll talk about it first.”

He thought for a moment and said, "Hunan is my famous barn. At this critical moment of the Anti-Japanese War, Hunan is an important supply base for the government's food, soldiers and industrial resources."

He looked at the two men and said, "I have food in my hands and don't panic in my heart. Once Changsha is lost, the whole province of Hunan will inevitably fall, and our largest granary will be lost."

“Changsha is a strategically important town in central China and serves as the hub of the Guangdong-Hankou Railway.” Lu Xingge said, “Therefore, our 9th Theater Commander’s Headquarters is located in Changsha.”

"There is also a very important point. If the Japanese army attacks Changsha, they do not even need to mobilize large-scale troops." Sheng Shuyu said, "As far as I know, the Chinese and Japanese armies are currently facing each other across the Xinqiang River in northern Hunan."

He waved his arm, but the wound on his shoulder was involved, and he grunted in pain, "With the arrogance of the Japanese army, they must have thought that they could successfully capture Xinqianghe with their current strength, and then they swung their troops down to capture Changsha." !”

"Capture Changsha?" Cheng Qianfan said with a serious expression, "Changsha's location is very important. It can be said to be the gateway to our southwest."

"Once Changsha is lost, half of our southwest half of the country will be in danger." Lu Xingge said with a serious expression.

“So, the Japanese’s target is Changsha.” Sheng Shuyu, half lying on the morgue, looked around the two of them and said solemnly, “This is the common judgment of the three of us. Do you have any objections?”

“No objection.”

Cheng Qianfan also had a serious expression and shook his head slightly.

“Then please call Chongqing in the name of the three of us.” Sheng Shuyu nodded slightly.

Cheng Qianfan glanced at Sheng Shuyu. The two of them were the best of the younger generation in the Military Command Bureau, and Sheng Shuyu was always trying to overpower him. He was seizing every opportunity to quickly seize power.

However, objectively speaking, among the three, he and Sheng Shuyu Quanxu have the same military rank. However, Sheng Shuyu has the highest military rank. He is the major general director of the Military Command Bureau, and he should indeed be the leader.

“I have no objection.” Cheng Qianfan was the first to express his opinion.

Lu Xinge also nodded. Among the three, he had the lowest position and military rank, and could only obey orders.

Half an hour later, Cheng Qianfan returned to No. 22 Xue Huali Road.

“Brother Fan.” Li Hao came to the office with a thermos bottle and skillfully helped Brother Fan brew tea.

“What’s the news?” Cheng Qianfan asked.

Li Hao immediately understood. He smiled and said, "I don't know where I heard that No. 76 was investigating him. He led people to arrest the agent who was following him and beat him half to death."

“Half-dead?” Cheng Qianfan raised his eyebrows.

“The legs and feet were broken and the person was thrown on Jisi Feier Road.” Li Hao said.

“Yes.” Cheng Qianfan laughed.

He took a sip of tea and frowned, "I'm angry."

He glanced at Haozi and said, "Go home and bring a pot of herbal tea."

Li Hao took the cigarette handed over by Brother Fan, took a look at it, put it into his own cigarette case, and nodded.

Cheng Qianfan stood by the window and watched Li Hao drive a car out of the yard of the patrol house.

His expression is serious.

Strictly speaking, the intelligence this time was extraordinary because it involved military secrets, and it was more of a conclusion drawn from the analysis by him, Lu Xingge, and Sheng Shuyu.

Major military and national affairs are nothing to play with.

If they made a mistake in their judgment, the national army would deploy in a targeted manner in the direction of Changsha based on their intelligence. However, the Japanese army would launch an attack from elsewhere. This could be said to be a major delay in military operations!

However, such important information cannot but be alerted to Chongqing.

Yes, it’s just a reminder, a warning.

This is just a warning, please go to the peak to verify the authenticity!

They had a clear understanding of the nature of this telegram.

Cheng Mansion.

"Miss Zhou, I'm sorry to trouble you." Bai Ruolan handed Zhou Ru the thermos bottle containing the herbal tea she had brewed herself.

She looked apologetic and said, "I don't feel well, otherwise I would go there myself."

“Madam, you are too polite.” Zhou Ru said quickly, “I just want to go back to Father Jin Road to pick up some spices. My husband called me this morning and said he wanted crispy braised pork.”

"Go." Bai Ruolan smiled, "Don't be in a hurry to come back. You can take a nap on Father Jin Road at noon."

“That’s great, thank you, madam.” Zhou Ru said happily.

Mrs. Cheng is very tolerant to her servants and always considers them, which saves Zhou Ru from having to find many excuses.

Get in the car.

Li Hao drove skillfully. He didn't look back and said to Zhou Ru, "The information is in the cigarette box, the second cigarette on the left."

Zhou Ru nodded and took out the second cigarette from the left in the cigarette box on the seat.

She took out a pair of exquisite cigarette holders from her bag and put the cigarette into the cigarette holder.

“Does the team leader have any other instructions?” Zhou Ru asked.

"Send the report as soon as possible." Li Hao said, "The team leader ordered us to always pay attention to the callback from Chongqing and report immediately as soon as we receive a callback."
