The Republic of Heroes

After Wu Tiecheng made his statement, Wu Xiaoliang leaned on the map on the table. The location of Hongkou Port was marked with a red pen. The Japanese headquarters was dazzling and eye-catching. , why doesn't he follow his plan?

"Mr. Du is free to meet the Japanese, but you have to take the risk of offending the Japanese."

Wu Xiaoliang's words surprised Wu Tiecheng. In his impression, this young member of the military committee insisted on a bloody war against Japan. How could he agree to peace talks?Du Yuesheng next to him was also at a loss, since the peace talks would eventually end with a truce, how could he offend him?

Hearing Wu Xiaoliang's next words, the two of them suddenly realized, Wu Tiecheng thought, so that's the case, he is still the Wu committee member who fought the bloody battle against Japan to the end, but instead of using brute force, he used outsmart instead.This was quite beyond Wu Tiecheng's expectation. He inherited Jiang Zhongzheng's view of Wu Xiaoliang, and he also believed that Wu Xiaoliang was a soldier who was more courageous than resourceful.But now, seeing him make the best use of the situation and follow his tricks, it doesn't seem that simple.

Du Yuesheng was moved a little more than suddenly.Wu Xiaoliang's plan is related to the fate of the country. After he and himself met for the first time, he did not hide the secret and revealed the plan.Usually, such a secret matter as a battle plan, how can it be heard by outsiders?Even if there are, there can only be two reasons, one is that the leaker is stupid.The second is the speaker's incredible trust in the listener.Obviously, Wu Xiaoliang's move belongs to the latter, how could he not teach Du Yuesheng to be moved.

At the same time, Du Yuesheng's impression of Wu Xiaoliang changed again.At the beginning of the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, he, as a local boss in Shanghai, would never have liked to see the two countries go to war between China and Japan, because a war would inevitably deal a serious blow to Shanghai's economy, and all his vested interests were in Shanghai , so he will be the first to be the biggest victim.

When the 57th Division fought fiercely with the No.20 Fourth Brigade and the Ninth Division of the Japanese Army, and destroyed the Zhabei District of Huajie into rubble, although Du Yuesheng admired his solitary army's deep and brave resistance against the Japanese invaders, he also secretly blamed Wu Xiaoliang. If he hadn't insisted on the main battle, Japan might not have made such a big move.When he got the news that the follow-up reinforcements of the Japanese army had departed from the Japanese mainland, and the naval fleet was also heading for Shanghai, he realized that the peace talks were just wishful thinking, and the Shanghai defenders had no choice but to prepare for battle with all their might.

After Du Yuesheng understood Wu Xiaoliang's plan, he bowed his hands and said goodbye without staying any longer.

"Yuesheng will go back to lease and contact the middleman to prepare for negotiations with the Japanese."

The reason why Wu Xiaoliang was able to tell the whole story of his plan was due to the comprehensive evaluation of Du Yuesheng in his previous life. This person will definitely not be a traitor.In addition, there are reasons why he must speak out, because he cannot sacrifice the safety of others just because he used the excuse of fighting the Japanese invaders.There is no reason for the overall situation or personal sacrifice. If it is to sacrifice himself, he will not hesitate, but if it is someone else, he believes that Du Yuesheng has the right to know his risky plan, and he also has the right to choose whether to participate in the plan.

Du Yuesheng didn't know the twists and turns in Wu Xiaoliang's stomach, it was just Wu Xiaoliang's extraordinary courage and vision.At the same time, a faint urge to die for the confidant rose in his heart.Just this point of honesty, how many people in the world, military and government dignitaries can do it?Counting and counting, there is only Wu Xiaoliang alone.

Du Yuesheng took Wu Xiaoliang's trust and left the Zhenru Songhu Anti-Japanese Headquarters. Wu Tiecheng said to Wu Xiaoliang worriedly:

"Commissioner Wu is a good plan, but the risk is too great. If it doesn't succeed, I'm afraid the brothers who are sent to carry out the mission will be too many brothers." Wu Tiecheng paused here, as if he was hesitant to speak, but finally said it out .

"Tiecheng is still a little worried. At present, there are only two armies in Shanghai, the 57th Division and the 64th Division. The 64th Division has been completely disabled and has lost its combat effectiveness. The 57th Division also suffered heavy losses. If most of them are sent, then the Songhu Railway defense line I am afraid that there will not be enough troops for defense, and in the end it is still stretched."

Wu Tiecheng sighed. He took office as mayor of Shanghai to save the crisis and avoid war.But in the end, the outbreak of war between China and Japan could not be avoided, and now the main force of the Central Army is restrained in Hubei by Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan, unable to move a single step.Fortunately, Wu Xiaoliang led his Shandong army to reinforce the Songhu battlefield, and kept the Japanese army stuck in the Zhabei area. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous, and the Japanese army would drive straight into the city of Nanjing. Both Chairman Jiang and Chairman Jiang have temporarily moved to Luoyang, the temporary capital, but the Military Commission is still stationed in Nanjing, and as the capital, it is generally captured by the Japanese army, which will cause an irreparable blow to the morale of the National Revolutionary Army across the country.

So this kind of tragedy must not be allowed to happen, but under the current situation where the military strength is stretched, it seems inevitable to win by chance.

Wu Tiecheng's worries were also Wu Xiaoliang's worries, but the Second Army and the Armored Brigade will arrive later, and by then, the strength of troops will still be comparable.It is based on this scripture that Wu Xiaoliang made this adventure plan.

"Brother Tiecheng, don't worry. Xiaoliang's Second Army has already finished dressing up in Nanjing and will rush to Shanghai tomorrow. In this way, before the arrival of Japanese reinforcements, we will far surpass the Japanese army in terms of numbers. Therefore, Tiecheng Brother, you can put your heart back in your stomach safely."

……

After Du Yuesheng returned to the rented home, he locked himself in the study and did not come out for a long time.He has to plan well. Although he has official permission to contact the Japanese to contact the armistice, but at this extremely sensitive critical moment, he has to risk being accused of being a traitor.

Du Yuesheng couldn't and didn't dare to take the risk of being charged with this crime, besides, he was Hua Dong on lease from Shanghai France, and he had to take into account the opinions and face of the French.Therefore, he decided to choose the meeting place at the French Consulate General, and at the same time he had to invite Consul General Ganglin to be there.Even if one day he is called a traitor, he can ask Ganglin to come forward to clarify and testify for him. This private meeting is the Japanese army's possibility of seeking a ceasefire from the Chinese side.

The actions of the Japanese are never sloppy.The next day, a representative of Lieutenant General Kenkichi Ueda, head of the Ninth Division, appeared at the French Consulate General, formally requested a ceasefire from China, and requested a third party to mediate.

After Wu Xiaoliang received Du Yuesheng's report on Japan's formal proposal to ask a third party to mediate, he sneered and said, "The Japanese invaders are very realistic in acting!"
