The "Silver Flash" launched its maximum speed and advanced rapidly on the Yangtze River towards Wuhan.

Quite a few heavyweights smashed the ship.

Dai Li, a Soviet pilot aiding China and about to be promoted to deputy director of the Military Command Bureau, and Meng Shaoyuan, director of the Shanghai Special Office.

In the event of any accident, the damage caused will be immeasurable.

The power to control the river was firmly controlled by the Japanese.

Meng Shaoyuan didn't panic at all.

Cai Xuefei also asked him how he could make Mount Tai collapse without changing his color.

"The color doesn't change? I'm about to pee my pants in fear. ”

Meng Shaoyuan's words made Cai Xuefei's face red, but he said to himself: "How can there be so many people who don't change their colors?" I'm scared, I'm scared. If the Japanese really got on board desperately, everything would be over. I will be caught, Mr. Dai will be caught, Soviet pilots will be caught, you will all be caught. But I'm afraid what's the use? Afraid that you can tell the Japanese not to do this? I'm trying to calm down. ”

How can there be so many people in the world who have collapsed before Tarzan and have not changed their color?

At least, he, Young Master Meng, was sure that he was definitely not such a person.

The Soviet pilot was on the ship, Mr. Dai was on the ship, his family was on the ship, and his subordinates were on the ship, and his every move would affect the morale of the military.

So no matter how scared you are, you have to hide it.

I have to be responsible for this boat.

When Cai Xuefei heard this, she respected her husband even more. Fear, everyone will be afraid, but few dare to speak out about their fears.

"You're pregnant, and you're resting well on the ship." Meng Shaoyuan instructed: "I'll go see the guests." ”

The guest he was talking about was, of course, Dai Li.

His family didn't know until now that his man's immediate boss was on this ship.

"Mr. Dai."

"Come in."

Meng Shaoyuan pushed the door in, and then closed the hatch again: "Mr. Dai, you can go to Wuhan tomorrow morning." ”

"Well, I seem to have faintly heard the bombardment." Dai Li closed the file: "Madang Fortress has been lost, and the next target of the Japanese army is Jiujiang, gradually forming a situation of encirclement of Wuhan." Wuhan, critical. ”

"Mr. Dai, I thought the chairman and the Nationalist Government were leading the Japanese by the nose." Meng Shaoyuan suddenly said such words.

"Oh, really?" Dai Lian remained silent: "Why? ”

"The Yellow River burst." Meng Shaoyuan didn't have time to think about it and said: "The Yellow River in Huayuankou in Zhengzhou burst its embankment on June 9, and three million people in more than 40 counties in central Henan and northern Anhui were homeless, and we paid heavy losses. ”

"Presumptuous!" Dai Lian scolded in a low voice, but then slowed down again: "Go on." ”

"Yes." Meng Shaoyuan continued: "But we have suffered heavy losses, and the Japanese have suffered huge losses. The water of the Yellow River turned the Japanese army's 100,000 troops into independent and helpless islands, forcing them to stop pursuing the Nationalist army and turn to flood control, and the flood also blocked the food, weapons and ammunition that the Japanese army could replenish later, and the Japanese invaders in the flood area waited in mosquitoes, plagues, hunger and panic. You know, summer has arrived.

Even 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 attack on Wuhan along the Huai River, replacing it with the main line of attack on Wuhan along the Yangtze River to the west, and the north side of the Dabie Mountain to the south as the auxiliary line of the march. At this time, the officers and men of our army had calmly deployed 120 divisions along the Yangtze River and on the Dabie Mountain, waiting for the enemy. ”

Speaking of this, he quietly looked at Dai Li, and found that he was expressionless:

"Mr. Dai, I believe that since the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, although our army has suffered repeated setbacks on the frontal battlefield, the whole operational idea is clear, and the focus is on the west. If the Japanese invaders fought from west to east and forced the national army to the sea, the war would be over. For the national army, this is the most dangerous offensive route, when Kublai Khan destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, that is, on the one hand from Sichuan to the east, on the other hand, from the middle of Xiangfan, Hubei Province, along the Han River into the Yangtze River, directly to the capital Lin'an, the Song Emperor drove to the ends of the earth in Hainan, thrown into the sea and died.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing army after entering the customs in Shaanxi after the completion of the clearance, waved the southeast, straight to Yangzhou, Shi Kefa stubbornly defended, and finally the city of Nanjing fell, and the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty had to flee to the southern coast, was captured and slaughtered. Therefore, the death of Song Ming was all caused by the enemy's cutting off the rear of the western region and fighting against the sea, a strategic mistake!

The National Government must not embark on this road of no return. Therefore, the chairman of the committee formulated a strategic guidance for the whole process, on the one hand, to defend in North China and block the Japanese army; On the one hand, the Japanese army was induced to start a war from the east, and the Chinese army gradually retreated to the rear of the southwest. In particular, the Battle of Xuzhou once again induced the Japanese army to shift its attention to the northern front and win a few months to prepare for the military deployment of the Yangtze River. ”

After speaking, he stood there and did not dare to say anything more.

"You're very strategic, Shaoyuan." Dai Li's voice was slow: "Maybe it's also a good hand for you to lead the troops to fight, but it would be better if you were a little less courageous." Forget it, it's not that simple to make Young Master Meng less courageous. ”

Bold Young Master Meng, who doesn't know this sentence from top to bottom of the military command.

"Before I came, I was specially received by the commission." Dai Li's words suddenly changed: "Wuhan must be defended, but not defended." After achieving the strategic goal, Wuhan can be abandoned just like Xuzhou. The committee told me very clearly that even if the national army withdrew from Wuhan in the future, Wuhan's resistance could not be stopped for a moment.

Wuhan, an important town in the country, will take Wuhan as the center, including the surrounding areas, to form a huge resistance force, and at the same time plant a large number of hidden personnel to carry out reconnaissance, rebellion, and sabotage work. I've already held two crash courses in Wuhan before, and now the third one has started, and since you're in Wuhan, help me give them a lesson. ”

This is the second time Dai has made this request to him.

The previous time, I was too busy with work to spare time. This time, Dai Li mentioned it again, and there was no reason to refuse anyway.

Get yourself to class?

Teacher Meng?

Anyway, no matter what others say, he, Young Master Meng, looks up and down, looks left and right, and no matter how he looks at it, he doesn't feel like a teacher.

"That's one of them." Dai Li said: "Second, I have formed a deep latent group with thirty members, all of whom have been carefully selected. I need you to help me identify who is suitable for lurking and who needs to be eliminated. ”

That's a big responsibility.

This is equivalent to that, in addition to Dai Li, he also has the entire list of Wuhan's high-level latent group, and if something goes wrong in the future, who is it?

Dai Li could see at a glance what his subordinates were worried about: "Shaoyuan, I know this job is not easy to do. Those who are eliminated by you will definitely have people who resent you. Those who are left by you may not say hello. If they are exposed in the future, it will not be me who will be suspicious, but you. But someone has to do this work, so you have to carry this burden. ”

"Mr. Dai, Shao Yuan is not afraid." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "Shaoyuan is under the direct command of Mr. Dai, not under the command of Zhang San and Li Si. They doubted me, and I had a clear conscience and was open. As long as Mr. Dai doesn't doubt me, it's fine. ”

"You have nothing to doubt except that you are doing something ridiculous." Dai Li smiled: "Serve me loyally, don't care about the gossip outside, it won't affect you, you fight in the front, and I will be your order officer in the rear." ”

"Shao Yuan didn't dare."

"There's nothing you don't dare." Dai Li sighed softly: "We people are in the rear, relatively much safer, what about you, fighting on the front line, nine deaths, if you don't even have time to extinguish the fire behind your buttocks, then how can you concentrate on doing things for the party and the state?" So don't worry about it, let it go, and I'll help you support it when the sky falls. ”

All the words have been said for this part, of course, Meng Shaoyuan can't say anything more.

"One more thing." Dai Li pondered there for a while and then said, "I know that the Shanghai Big Three seem to have infinite scenery, but there are still some contradictions between you, aren't they?" ”

"Yes." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "Not only is there a contradiction, but the contradiction is also very deep, if it weren't for the Liuchuan incident this time, there would be no cooperation between us, basically we would each do our own thing." ”

Dai Lisa was silent.

After a long while, he said: "When an organization is big, contradictions will naturally appear, and no one can avoid it." Zhou Weilong is a veteran who has done me a great favor, and even helped the chairman of the committee. Cheng Yiming has a backer behind him, and he made some contributions in the early days. As for you, you're the person I like the most. ”

"Mr. Dai." Meng Shaoyuan immediately said: "There must be contradictions, but now everything else is a trivial matter, and personal grievances can be put aside, and Shaoyuan still knows this in his heart." ”

"It's good if you have a number, a serious person, I will never treat him badly. I also wanted to reorganize Shanghai, but the time has not yet come, the time has not yet come. Dai Lian waved his hand:

"Okay, the most important thing now is the matter of Wuhan, how to do it, I will let people cooperate with you when I get to Wuhan, I am a little tired, I want to rest, you go out first."

"Yes, Mr. Dai."

Meng Shaoyuan walked out.

I thought I would be able to go back to Shanghai when I arrived in Wuhan, but I didn't expect to be a teacher and an examiner again, so it seems that I have to stay in Wuhan for a while.

Meng Shaoyuan was on the boat, but his heart was in Shanghai.

The soil and fertilizer agency is about to be established, and the time is now counted with fingers, so a strong enemy appears, and he is not in Shanghai, and he is always a little uneasy.

Listening to what Dai Li just meant, Shanghai will soon usher in a rectification, how can I seize this opportunity?

The Big Three sound very good, but when they really fight, they fight their own battles, which is tantamount to invisibly weakening their own strength, on the contrary, it will give the Japanese an opportunity to take advantage of!
