After the others left, Wu Siren was left alone by Jiang.

"Moran, I know you don't agree with me fighting the Japanese in Shencheng, but you have to understand that there are many factors to consider in my position, especially in politics."

Lao Jiang's tone was very sincere. He now trusted Wu Siren very much, especially Wu Siren's talent, which made him appreciate it very much.

"Uncle, I understand your difficulties, but I still hope you can think twice. Even if you want to teach Japanese people a lesson in Songhu, don't put all your troops in it!"

Although I know the direction of history and understand that fighting Japan in Shencheng is a great loss, I can understand Chiang Kai-shek's dilemma in this era.

Lao Jiang sighed: "Although I don't want to go to war with Japan at this time, we can't help it. If we don't rise up and resist, the country will be in trouble. Last time you told me to protect Jinling, I will hand over the city defense of the capital to your tax police chief. I hope you don't let me down!"

"I am obedient to accept the order! My uncle's plan to seal the river should be implemented. If you wait any longer, you will have more dreams."

The plan to seal the river that Wu Siren said was to prepare a shipwreck in the Jiangyin section of the Yangtze River to block the waterway. The purpose of this plan was to block the Yangtze River route and prevent the Japanese army from going up the river.

"Okay! You go to Chen Houfu, who just returned from Germany, and ask him to cooperate with you. As you said, I will not talk about this plan at the Military Commission meeting to prevent leaks."

After thinking for a long time, Lao Jiang made up his mind to agree.

Ten days after the Lugou Bridge Incident broke out, Chiang Kai-shek delivered a famous "last moment" speech in Lushan, pointing out that "there is no chance to compromise. If you give up your size and land and sovereignty, you will be the eternal sinner of the Chinese nation." He also stated that if the war starts, it means that the land will be divided into north and south, and the year will be divided into old and young. No matter whoever is responsible for defending the territory and resisting the war, they should all be determined to sacrifice everything.

Chiang Kai-shek's speech greatly boosted the morale of the military and civilians across the country, and also allowed the world to see China's determination to resist Japan's invasion.

The sudden rain has just stopped and the wind is blowing. The water surface of Jiangyin, the narrowest section of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, sparkling with ripples. The green willows and willows on the shore are surrounded by lush green, and the birds are chirping happily without knowing their sorrow.

It was the end of July, and the situation in North China was very bad, Ping and Tianjin were both lost, and a large area of ​​land in the north fell.

Standing on the 10,000-ton cargo ship that had just arrived from the US imperial sea, Chen Houfu looked at Wu Siren with a complicated expression and sighed: "Brother Moran is such a big deal. If you say you give up, you will give up."

"Where is the country destroyed? It's just a little money that can make Japanese people suffer a big loss. It's worth it. Brother Houfu, are you ready?"

Wu Siren looked at the surging river with deep eyes and asked in a very calm manner.

At this time, there were more than 70 warships and merchant ships in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, more than 3,000 Japanese Marines, as well as more than 30,000 Japanese expatriates stranded in Jiangcheng, Shancheng and other places.

Wu Siren blocked the waters of the Jiangyin section of the Yangtze River, first of all, to prevent the Japanese navy from going up the river to attack Jinling, and secondly, to make the Japanese warships in Shencheng isolated and helpless. The Chinese army could take the opportunity to snipe Japanese ships and merchant ships in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, forming a strategic situation of "closing the door and beating dogs" on the Yangtze River, and ultimately achieve the goal of defeating the Japanese army's arrogance.

"The warships have been assembled and can launch an attack at any time." Chen Houfu said gritting his teeth.

Wu Siren did not hesitate at all, waved his hand and ordered: "Raging a violent attack!" The bilges of nearly thirty ships of all kinds, including this 10,000-ton cargo ship, were blown through the bilges by explosives at the same time, and all the ships slowly fell silent.

At this time, Wu Siren had already arrived on the "Ninghai" ship. Looking at the whirlpool surging in the middle of the river, he said to Chen Ziliang beside him: "The telegram notified Sun Liren that the Fourth Regiment can take action."

With the order from Wu Siren, almost the entire middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River were mobilized. Due to the full preparation and the unintentional calculation, it took only four hours. With the cooperation of the navy, Sun Liren led the Fourth Regiment of the Tax Police Corps to kill and capture all the Japanese Marines stationed near Jiangcheng. Warships and merchant ships were either captured or sunk, and all Japanese expatriates were also under centralized supervision.

Two hours after the battle formulated by Wu Siren ended, the news spread throughout the country, and even Western countries were incredible.

In history, Feng Jiang's plan was leaked to the Japanese by Huang Jun, but this time, due to the appearance of Wu Siren, the intelligence system led by Feng Zixiong and Huang Jun was eliminated as early as possible. This operation suddenly, and the Japanese had no time to react. The Fourth Regiment led by Sun Liren only paid the price of more than 100 casualties and achieved such brilliant results, which was a miracle.

"Jiansheng, this little guy Wu Siren is completely famous now. Such a big deal is really rare! The Chairman should be very happy now. The younger generation has created a Qilin son, and his country should be worry-free."

Li Delin, who had arrived in Jinling, stood on the balcony of the hotel and looked into the direction of Jiangyin, and praised a lot of emotion.

Bai Jiansheng still looked at the map of Songhu area hanging on the wall and said seriously: "Brother, Chiang Kai-shek still has courage. At least he can dare to let Wu Siren take the initiative and use it well. This alone is worthy of my admiration. Unfortunately, he still does not trust Wu Siren enough, otherwise he would never choose to be in Songhu to prepare for a decisive battle with Japan."

"You are wrong! It's not that Chiang Kai-shek distrusts Wu Siren, otherwise he wouldn't have let Wu Siren be responsible for the city defense in Jinling. Instead, he had to fight this battle in Shencheng, which might be a military failure, but politically forced Chiang to do so. This battle was for both the whole country and the Western powers. The country was poor and weak, and he had to use it to show his determination to fight to the end."

Li Delin put away his mood and said helplessly.

Bai Jiansheng shook his head and smiled bitterly and said, "It's my brother who can see clearly. I'm just thinking. However, Wu Siren actually bought a 10,000-ton cargo ship half a year ago for this battle. With such a vision, no one in the country can match it!

For some reason, I always feel that he has the ability to predict the future. Under his suggestion, Lao Jiang reduced a lot of losses, and his predictions on the development of the battle situation were very accurate, even Baili Gong was amazed!"

"Haha! Don't say anything, Brother Yu also feels the same! Wu Siren has such a strategy at a young age, but he is low-key and cautious. Japanese people are in trouble now." Li Delin smiled.
