Xu Haodong carefully put away the note.

"When Yunnan Baiyao becomes famous in Shanghai, you arrange people to sell Yunnan Baiyao all over the country, but there is one condition: Yunnan Baiyao will not be sold in the enemy-occupied areas, nor will it be sold to Japanese or traitors. If you sell it to the Japanese and traitors, what awaits him will be bullets. You should make this clear to their major drug dealers in advance, so that they don’t know how they died.”

Liang Xiao said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

From Xu Haodong's point of view, the general has thought too much. Now that Yunnan Baiyao has not been launched yet, it is still unknown whether it can open up the drug market.

However, he could only keep these words in his stomach and tell himself, as Liang Xiao's power increased day by day, and his aura was overwhelming, a simple sentence was enough to make their subordinates tremble with fear.

Chapter 471 The Anglo-American Solidarity

The war in Shanghai entered a stalemate. The 87th Division and the 88th Division fought hard again and again. After paying several times the casualties of the enemy, they won the Patriotic Girls' School and the Hongkou Marine Corps Base.

The Shanghai Expeditionary Army was seriously short of troops. Facing the Chinese army which was several times larger than itself, the dispatched army headquarters ordered the defensive troops to fight at every level. Relying on the favorable terrain and strong fortifications, they held back the Chinese army.

After the Ninth Army captured the patriotic girls' school and other outlying positions, the 87th and 88th German weapon divisions continued to advance and fought street battles with the Japanese. The two sides won each other.

Since the start of the war, the Chinese air force has continuously bombarded the Japanese headquarters on Jiangwan Road, and the Japanese army is not to be outdone. Although more than 30 Haifeng fighter jets were taken away from Hongkou Airport, there are still more than 40 fighter jets and fighter jets at Jiangwan Airport. Bombers, dispatched army headquarters, in order to reduce the pressure on the frontal battlefield, sent fighter jets and bombers to carry out large-scale air strikes on the Chinese area.

In just one day, thousands of people were killed in the air strikes, and countless houses were bombed.

On August [-]th, General Matsui Iwane was the commander of the Japanese base camp, and led the main forces of two divisions to Shanghai to assist Shanghai.

The government hurriedly dispatched troops from all over the country to Shanghai for reinforcements, and a large-scale war kicked off.

...... The commissioner was very annoyed by the leak of military information, so he telegraphed Liang Xiao Huining to attend the National Defense Conference and find out the Japanese spies hidden in the top ranks of the military.

Moreover, the Military and Political Council is publicizing the news that Hongkou Airport has been bombed, in order to cheer up the hearts of the people and encourage the determination of the frontline soldiers to resist the war.

As the commander of the bombing of Hongkou Airport, Liang Xiao is a well-deserved number one hero, and the commissioner called him back to Ning at this time, no doubt to praise him.

Since the start of the war, everyone has been busy, but Liang Xiao has been free.

Qiu Qingyang is in charge of the military intelligence station, and the underground intelligence team, assassination team, economic team, and latent team also perform their duties.

There are Hua Kezhi, Jiang Tao, Xu Tianyin, Zheng Baozhen and others in the military intelligence area, and everything is arranged in an orderly manner, so he doesn't need to worry about it.

The defense work of the Special Operations Brigade has been properly arranged, each department has its own garrisons, and the war is fought around Shanghai, the Jinshanwei area is temporarily quiet, there is no movement, and there is no need for him to bother.

And the Ninth Army is fighting on the front line. He, the director of the political department, is just a decoration, neither participating in the command of the army nor participating in military affairs.

Liang Xiao was still the same as usual, dealing with telegrams during the day, occasionally listening to the battle situation on the front line, and dealing with various miscellaneous things in the rest of the time, such as the sales channel of Yunnan Baiyao, such as the weapon issue of the militia.

His life is no different from before, as if the war is far away from him.

After receiving the telegram, he put down his hands, and took Tang Menghan, Chen Hua, Hu Die, and the officers and soldiers of the guards to Ning in a mighty way.

On the road south of Suzhou Creek, step up the marching troops.

The First Army, the No.14 Army, and the No.60 Second Army, these three units organized under the Type A Army, were ordered to reinforce Shanghai.

These three armies are all the Central Army. Although they are not as important as the 87 and 88 German weapon divisions, they are also the ace troops in the Central Army.

Liang Xiao went to Shanghai in a car, and all he saw along the way were soldiers with high morale. They sang military songs, carried guns and ammunition, and headed for Shanghai mightily.

"I hope they can show the prestige of Chinese soldiers on the battlefield."

"Most definitely."

Chen Hua answered.

"By the way, how did you do what you told your brother?"

Liang Xiao asked casually.

Chen Hua replied: "The Chen family's shipping merchant ship docked at Zhenjiang Wharf has set off from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and will arrive at Chongqing Port in a few days."

Liang Xiao nodded. The war was raging like a raging fire, and countless supplies were consumed every day. He asked Li Huan to buy a large amount of food and supplies in Chongqing, and sent the Chen family merchant ship to Chongqing to load and ship back to Shanghai.

Of course, he asked the Chen family merchant ship to transport food all the way from Chongqing to Shanghai, not for the sake of making the country rich, but for military supplies. If the Nanjing government’s military food cannot be supplied in time, the food in his hands will be able to solve the problem. Urgent.

In the face of big right and wrong, he doesn't care about personal interests. After all, the Battle of Songhu is related to the survival of the Chinese nation, and it is not the time to care about fame and fortune.

afternoon.

After he arrived in Nanjing, he settled down with his subordinates and hurried to see the committee.

Since the start of the war, the Commissioner has been sleepless day and night, looking tired, and looks older than ten years.

As soon as we met, the committee member went straight to the point: "I called you back at this time, because there is something I need you to do."

"Principal, please tell me that the students will die forever."

Liang Xiao stands up straight.

"The raid plan formulated by the Military and Political Council was leaked, and the raid turned into an offensive and defensive battle, so that the war entered a stalemate. We must find out who leaked the secret. No matter who it is, it will be strictly dealt with without mercy."

The delegate's voice is powerful.

"Students are expected to do their best."

Liang Xiao didn't dare to complete his words, after all he didn't have much...sureness.

"It's not about trying our best, but we must find out this person and give an explanation to the soldiers who died for the country."

Appointment Road.

"Yes, the students must find out this person."

Liang Xiao said.

"I have great confidence in your ability, otherwise, I wouldn't have called you back to Nanjing at this time."

The words of the commissioner were full of trust in Liang Xiao.

"Students never meet the principal's expectations."

Liang Xiao said solemnly.

The committee member nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Before the war started, you blew up Hongkou Airport and captured more than 30 fighter jets. The people who shut up completely made my face go up. Speaking of it, I, the principal, have to thank you very much. If you hadn’t blown up the Hongkou Airport, Western countries such as Britain and the United States would not agree to help us.”

"

Western countries promised to help"

Liang Xiao was surprised.

"Western countries have promised to provide convenience for our country, openly support our country, and unite with Western countries to stop the little devil's expansion ambitions."

The commissioner laughed.

"Does the principal think that the West and other countries can stop the little devil's expansion ambitions?"

Liang Xiao asked with a frown. To be honest, he was not optimistic about the solidarity from the West and other countries. After all, the Japanese devils had left the Washington system, and the influence of Britain, the United States and other countries in Asia could not stop their growing ambitions.

Chapter 472 Initiate Investigation

"Looking at the powerful countries in the world, Western countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States still occupy a dominant position, and Asian disputes must be mediated by world powers such as Britain and the United States. The strength of our country alone cannot defeat the Japanese Empire."

The commissioner spoke with a strong Zhejiang official accent.

"With the rise of the Japanese Empire, the binding force of Western countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States on Asia has gradually decreased. Their mediation is nothing but a deaf ear to Japan. Japan has long coveted China's vast land. This time it will mobilize two main forces from the mainland. The teachers came to Shanghai to participate in the war, which shows that they are determined to invade our land of China, the principal should not trust the mediation of Western countries such as Britain and the United States."

Liang Xiao had no choice but to pour cold water on the committee. The Western countries are all profitless. They stand on the moral high ground of humanitarianism and want to let Japan withdraw its troops from China. It is tantamount to a dream.

The committee member frowned and said: "Compared with Japan, our country's military industry is far behind. Without foreign aid, we cannot win this war by ourselves."

"Our country has a vast land and a large population, with a strategic depth of several thousand square kilometers, while Japan is just a small country with limited manpower. As long as we stretch the front line and adopt... a war of attrition, we can also drive them away Out of heaven."

Liang Xiao said slowly.

The committee member waved his hand: "Don't worry about these things. The most important thing right now is to quickly find out the spies lurking in the top ranks of the Military and Political Council. You have to solve this matter as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Liang Xiao saw that the committee member was not happy.

"The more than 30 fighter planes you captured from Hongkou have been studied by the Military and Political Council, and you are allowed to keep five fighter planes for military investigation, and the rest of the fighter planes will be incorporated into the Air Force aviation formation."

The commissioner waved.

There was a flash of heartache in Liang Xiao's expression. These are more than 30 Nissan Higashi fighters. The commissioner took away so many fighters as soon as he asked, leaving him only five fighters.

In addition to his heartache, he can only accept this reality helplessly. Whoever appoints the seat as the supreme commander can leave him five fighters, which is quite good.

"

Principal, before the bombing of Hongkou Airport, the students promised the pilots of the Northeast Army that as long as they fly the fighter planes from Hongkou to Hangzhou, they will be the pilots of this batch of fighter planes in the future, and they will never change."

Aside from Liang Xiao's heartache, he did not forget to promise the pilots of the Northeast Army.

"Where did you get the pilot?"

asked the commissioner.

"They are graduates of the Northeast Aviation School."

Liang Xiao didn't directly say that they were pilots of the Northeast Army.

"The pilots who graduated from the Northeast Aviation School are not Zhang Hanqing's students. How can you use his people?"

The commissioner was suddenly displeased.

"Students have no choice. After all, there is a shortage of pilots in our country, and the Northeast Aviation School is the only aviation school in our country. Students planning such a big operation must fly experienced pilots."

Liang Xiao explained.

"The fighter planes are merged into the Air Force's aviation formation. The pilots must not be Zhang Hanqing's people. They can be transferred to ground staff or fighter plane maintenance personnel."

The commissioner has a lot of opinions on Zhang Hanqing, and the Air Force aviation formation is the trump card of the national government in the air field, and it is absolutely necessary to guarantee the infinite loyalty of the pilots to the party state.

"headmaster......."

"There is no need to mention this matter again."

The committee member interrupted his words, and said in a voice: "You have made such outstanding contributions this time, the military and political council has decided to promote your rank, but I have thought twice and decided not to advance to the rank for the time being, after all, your rank is promoted too fast. The promotion to lieutenant general will inevitably cause dissatisfaction and opposition from Huangpu, so I decided to award you the Order of Blue Sky and White Sun in recognition of your achievements."

"Working for the principal is what students do, and they don't dare to extravagantly seek personal fame and fortune."

Liang Xiao lowered his attitude. He had been promoted to major general for more than half a year. If he was promoted to lieutenant general at this time, he would be the target of public criticism. After all, the promotion of a general is different from that of a school officer. The promotion of a general is based on military exploits and seniority.

"

As expected of a Whampoa student, I am so relieved that you can think of me like that."

The committee member nodded in satisfaction.

Next, the commissioner said some more things and asked him to quickly investigate the leak of military information.

...... Returning to the Peace Hotel from the commissioned mansion.

Liang Xiao made a phone call to the Military Intelligence Department and asked the Intelligence Section of the Military Intelligence Department to send over the archives of the military and political committee and the military and political department's major general and above officers.

A total of 18 people are eligible to participate in the military decision-making meeting of the Supreme Command.

Among them, there are 13 members from the Military and Political Council, and 5 from the Military and Political Department [-].

The person who informed the Japanese must be among the eighteen generals. Of course, Wei Zuo, He Yingqin, Chen Cheng, Feng Yuxiang and other military leaders are not among them.

Except for the military boss, the rest of the people are participants in the formulation of the raid, and it is not difficult to find this person among them.

After the Military Intelligence Office sent the files over, he asked Chen Hua and Tang Menghan to screen out suspicious persons from them, and then he made a decision.

After half a day of screening, five suspects were finally screened out.

[-]. Lieutenant General Xu Shijie of the War Department of the Military and Political Council.

2. Lieutenant General Huang Quan in the Staff Office of the Military and Political Council.

Third, Lieutenant General Li of the Equipment Department of the Military and Political Council.

Fourth, Major General Wu Baitong of the Military and Political Department.

Fifth, Major General Liu Xingzu of the Military and Political Department.

There are some doubts in the files of the above five people 5, these... doubts may not be seen by others, but they can see the clues at a glance when they are engaged in military affairs.

Liang Xiao decided to start with these five people 5: The investigation began with Major General Liu Xingzu of the Military and Political Department.

This person is the director of the Transportation Department of the Military and Political Department, in charge of national transportation, responsible for the transportation of soldiers during wartime, and he is responsible for the transportation of reinforcements for this raid.

Liu Xingzu, male, 46 years old, graduated from the eighth batch of Baoding Military Academy, he is the confidant of He Yingqin, Minister of Military and Political Affairs, and the backbone of the Baoding Department.
