In the northwest cave.
The Prime Minister excitedly walked into the cave with a press release and a telegram. He said excitedly to the great man who was writing,
"This No. 1 is really amazing. He easily wiped out the Japanese's Sixth Regiment. Now, all the newspapers in the country are publishing this news. The broadcasts in various places are continuously reporting this great victory.”
The great man took the newspaper and cable from the Prime Minister's hands with great interest and said as he read,""I've been hearing you talk about how amazing Number One is. My ears are about to get calluses. It seems like you weren't bragging at all.”
The Prime Minister smiled and did not reply. He was waiting for the great man to finish reading the telegram. As expected, when the great man finished reading the confidential telegram sent by Liu Ze, he said in surprise,
"This kid is so bold. Once he succeeds, the Japanese will really nail him to death.”
At this point, the great man thought for a moment and said to the Prime Minister,"Wouldn't this put him in too much danger?”
"I've never worried that he'll lose to the Japanese. Back in the day, he secretly helped out in the counter-encirclement several times. Not only did the national team not suspect him, but they also kept promoting him.
Number One was not an ordinary person. He was quick-witted and had a strategic and tactical mind. It would not be easy for the Japanese to capture him.
I believe that as long as he is here, the Japanese will never be able to live in peace. Taking over China is a joke.”
"You're still as confident in him as ever. However, in my opinion, with the Japanese continuously landing troops around Shanghai, it'll be very difficult for the national team to win.
The Japanese will definitely attack Jinling. We can't let our comrades fight alone there. I think we can give No. 1 whatever support we can, whether it's intelligence or other aspects.”
Hearing the great man's words, the prime minister thought for a moment and said," Number One's identity is a top secret. We shouldn't be too obvious about it. All this while, Number One has never received any help from us. Instead, he has been helping us. Occasionally, he only needs some information support from us. I'll make appropriate arrangements to support him. After all, he's Old Jiang's favorite now.”
……
At the same time, in the command center of the Shanghai dispatched army.
The furious Matsui Ishigen split the desk in front of him and the map in half. He was so angry that he even sent a few big posts to the 3rd division's major general, Fujita Shin.
A few minutes ago, an inquiry message from the Emperor was delivered to Matsui Ishigen, asking if the news of the annihilation of the Sixth Regiment was true.
As the commander of Shanghai's dispatched army, Iwane Matsui knew very well that this kind of thing couldn't be hidden.
He could only report it to the headquarters truthfully. The Emperor, who received a clear answer, did not scold him in the reply message. He only asked Matsui Ishine to restore the image of the empire.
The head of the Army Ministry, Prince Zairen of the Imperial Palace, asked Matsui Ishigen to open up the situation in the Songhu area as soon as possible.
At the same time, Gong Zairen of the Leisure Courtyard also said in his message that the 13th, 9th, and 101st divisions, as well as the two Heavy Artillery Squadron, would arrive as soon as possible.
The third batch of reinforcements, the 6th, 18th and 114th divisions, also set off early.
It had been more than a month since the Japanese announced that they would occupy China in three months. It was obvious that it was impossible to occupy China in three months.
In Matsui Ishigane's opinion, it would take at least one to two months to completely defeat the Chinese army on the Songhu battlefield.
Now that the Sixth Regiment had been completely wiped out, the headquarters had already begun to distrust him, and he had to salvage the current unfavorable situation.
"Tell me, can the 68th Regiment avenge themselves?”
Matsui Ishine suppressed his anger and asked Fujita Shinji seriously.
As the lieutenant general, if it wasn't for his huge mistake, even if Matsui Ishigen was a general, he wouldn't easily embarrass such a high-ranking general.
However, the 3rd division had indeed disappointed him time and time again.
As the major general, Fujita Shin naturally had a huge responsibility.
Upon hearing Matsui Ishigen's question, Fujita Shin wanted to say that there was no problem.
Based on the situation in Huabei, it was not difficult for a regiment to take down a place defended by a Chinese infantry division.
However, after the defeat of the Sixth Regiment, he naturally did not dare to continue boasting. Instead, he said cautiously,"According to the information we received, the Chinese army has sent two more regiments to the Baoshan defense line. Although the 68th Regiment's combat strength has long been confirmed, they still need more tactical guidance from the headquarters if they want to quickly take down the Baoshan defense line.”
When Matsui Ishigane heard this, he nodded his head in satisfaction. The 6th Regiment was gone. If Fujita Shin was still as arrogant as before, he would have to consider changing to another Regiment Commander.
"I will order all the warships that have arrived in Shanghai to enter the Yangtze River to support the 68th Regiment in their attack on Baoshan County. At the same time, more than half of the aerial units will also provide fire support to the 68th Regiment. What you need to do is to eliminate the entire 98th Regiment and avenge the humiliation of the Empire's army.”
When Fujita Jin heard this, he immediately stood up straight and said,"Ha Yi!"
"What about that mysterious opponent?" Matsui Iwane looked at the chief of the intelligence department and asked.
"Commander, according to the information we received from the government, we can confirm that the biggest reason for the failure of the 6th regiment is a major general of the Chinese government named Liu Ze.
This person graduated from Huangpu Second Institute, and his identity was extremely mysterious. He had always been secretly active in the battlefields of Huaxia. This was the first time he had officially fought with the dynasty's army.
According to the information we have, this person is considered an anomaly in the entire army. In fact, in the entire Hua Xia government, no more than five people have seen his true face. Even among the students of Huangpu Second and Huangpu First, only a few have heard of him.
There was no information on this person in his student file. The Empire's intelligence department had collected information on this person many times before, but no matter how our intelligence personnel investigated, they could not find any valuable information.
Even his appearance, age, height, family, habits, personality, and other information are still unknown to us.”
When Matsui Iwane heard this, he immediately said angrily,""Nonsense. Has the highest intelligence agency of the Imperium fallen to such a state? We don't even know what our opponent looks like. Doesn't that mean that if this person stands in front of us, we won't even know who he is?”
"I'm very sorry, Commander. This person is too mysterious. He has never appeared in any public places. Even if he does, he will disguise himself and never take photos. Even the Chinese government does not have any information on this person. We have been paying attention to this person for more than ten years, but we have not found anything.”
"I don't want to hear this. Remember, you must get information on this person at all costs.”Matsui Iwane ordered sternly.
The director of the intelligence department could only helplessly say,"The Empire's Intelligence Department will do their best to investigate this person.”
