In the joint command of the Sino-US Joint Command of the Ministry of National Defense, Wei Lihuang, Chief of Staff of the Ministry of National Defense, walked into the command center. At this time, Mu Yaping and the US Chief of Staff were discussing the issue. Wei Lihuang reported: "Deputy Commander-in-Chief, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi called, the time for attacking Taiwan was scheduled on June 10, do you have any instructions?" Mu Yaping and the US Chief of Staff talked in English and continued: "Tele to Li Bai and the two of them and agreed to launch the battle to land on Taiwan on June 10!"

The US military dispatched 120 warships including the USS Washington aircraft carrier fleet to cooperate with the landing operation. During this period, the air raids were intensified and the Japanese airports on the island were sorted out like a sieve. At present, our aviation troops have gathered two combat aviation divisions on the strait, and the US Air Force has recruited 3 aviation bombing wings, a total of 700 combat aircraft, and formed a powerful air force to support operations.

In a small building on Nanjing Road, Shanghai, the commander of the army, Yue Lin, is saying goodbye to his beloved wife Margaret. Margaret is obviously pregnant. He is 6 months pregnant. At present, Yue Lin's troops have been transferred to Fujian to participate in the landing battle on the cross-hailing battle. Yue Lin's military headquarters was finally relocated. Since Margaret was pregnant, she could only stay at her home in Shanghai.

"Dear, you must pay attention to safety and health. I am not by your side. No one reminds you!" Margaret's eyes were red and she was even more reluctant to leave. "Okay, don't be kind to me, you must pay attention to your health. If the landing battle goes well, maybe I will come back to accompany you before the child is born."

Margaret feels very happy from her husband's consideration. The difference between Chinese men and American men is that they do less and do more, and they have no irritable side. Since marrying Yue Lin, her husband has been by his side as long as he has time, never go out to have fun without any care, and is dedicated to his feelings. As a woman, even a foreign woman, she hopes that her husband is his only one.

She had heard of many Chinese men's bad deeds, such as having three wives and four concubines, and seeking flowers and asking for willows. However, after marrying Yue Lin, her husband was still consistent before and after marriage. While Margaret felt happy, she was even more glad that she had found a good husband. In her mind, her husband was the best man.

Margaret was born into a working family and belonged to the poor in the United States. She was the eldest in the family, with a younger brother under her. Not long ago, I wrote to her family and heard that she had married a Chinese general, so she hoped that she would support her family. This situation was without precedent in Americans' awareness of life. Margaret was very distressed and wrote a letter to reject the request from her family.

However, Yue Lin accidentally discovered this letter of family. He did not tell his wife, so he privately sent 10,000 US dollars to his father-in-law and mother-in-law in the United States without telling her. In the United States, it can be said that she had transformed into a well-off family. Yue Lin knew that his wife did not tell her when she received the letter of family, which meant that she had refused the request from the family. Therefore, in order to take into account his wife's face, Yue Lin did not tell his wife about sending money.

Not long ago, the family came to a telegram saying that the money had been received and expressed their gratitude for his daughter's generous funding. Margaret received the telegram from the family and cried in tears. After the mainland was liberation, Yue Lin contacted the family in Qingdao, his parents were still alive, and his sister was married. Yue Lin sent a sum of money to the family and asked his father to make the small business bigger.

Yue Lin enjoys one percent of the Mu's consortium's dry shares. Although the salary is not high as a military-level general, the annual dividend is very considerable, so Yue Lin is not short of money. Mu Yaping is absolutely selfless in terms of returns to his generals. Peng Dehuai has 3 percent of the dry shares, and even Lin gives it to one percent of the dry shares.

The economic bond is very important. It is better to make a real benefit once than a thousand times. Mu Yaping will never allow bleeding and tears to appear. The next step is to establish a military honor foundation to gradually solve the life problems of soldiers who fight. After the war, they should give priority to their lives. Not only should they live well, but they should also be healthy and happy.

Before leaving, Yue Lin sent a telegram to the house. When his mother heard that the foreign daughter-in-law was pregnant and was about to give birth, Si'er's mother set out to Shanghai to serve her confinement. "Tomorrow, my mother and sister arrived in Shanghai on a boat. The military situation is urgent. I don't have time to pick them up. Please welcome them on behalf of me!" Yue Lin said. Margaret said nervously, "I don't know my mother-in-law, what if I make a mistake?" Yue Lin said laughing and said, "I'll make all arrangements, and I won't make a mistake." "I heard that it's difficult to get along with my mother-in-law as a Chinese daughter-in-law. I feel very nervous!" Margaret thought that the mother-in-law whom she had never met was coming to her side, and she suddenly became nervous.

Yue Lin comforted, "My mother is a reasonable woman. You are a foreign daughter-in-law. She will not strictly require you according to the Chinese daughter-in-law. You will enjoy how your mother takes care of you. Chinese daughter-in-law is a big deal. In this regard, you have to obey your mother's arrangements and you will get along well with each other!" Margaret nodded and twisted her bloated body. During pregnancy, she was pregnant with twins. Although she was only 6 months pregnant, she looked like she was about to give birth.

The guards urged outside the door. Yue Lin glanced at his watch, hugged his wife, and then took a bus to the military airport. The next day, Margaret took a military jeep to Wusong Port Freight Terminal to welcome her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. The dock was crowded, and the offshore transportation in Shanghai had been completely restored, so the cargo and passenger transport was very busy.

Yue Lin's mother is in her 50s and has some gray hair on her hair, but she is very strong. Her sister is in her thirties and she looks much younger than her actual age with her married woman's hair. Her mother hasn't met her son for more than ten years. Not to mention that she is eager to see her foreign wife and her unborn grandson, she couldn't help but hug her daughter-in-law and cry. The meeting scene was a bit sad.

Three days after Yue Lin arrived in Fuzhou on a transport plane, the 6th Corps held a combat meeting to land in Taiwan. The number of the 6th Corps has not changed, and it is still a five-army organization. The only thing that has changed is that the direct artillery division and the direct light tank division were added. In addition, the logistics and aviation units have landed in Taiwan for combat, with a total force of 450,000!

The atmosphere of the military meeting was tense. Commander Li Zongren said to the generals: "The headquarters has approved our combat plan and launched a landing operation on time on June 10. I want to tell you that the Expeditionary Force swept the Philippines very beautifully when it was very difficult and without the conditions. Therefore, we cannot be cowards."

"The eyes of the Chinese people are looking at us and looking forward to us, and everyone is holding back their energy. We decided to take over Taiwan in a month. Do you have confidence?" "Have confidence!" The generals answered loudly. Li Zongren pressed the pressure with his hands and said: "The specific combat plan will be explained in detail by the Chief of Staff below."

Bai Chongxi stood up and said with confidence: "At present, under the continuous air strikes of our air force, the Japanese airport on the island has been basically destroyed, so there is no need to worry about landing operations. 120 warships including the USS Washington aircraft carrier fleet cooperate with landing operations. Our two combat aviation divisions and three US bombing wings support the operation. This time our ** light tank division will also be put into landing operations."

Bai Chongxi continued: "According to military intelligence, the Japanese army's defense forces on the island are 15 divisions, with a total force of about 350,000. The Japanese army deployed heavy troops in the northern region, including about 10 divisions, including an armored division. The Japanese army deployed 5 divisions in the southern region. According to our research, we decided to place the main attack direction in the northern region, and the southern region was feinted to confuse the Japanese army."

"On June 10, the 33rd and 34th Army first launched the Penghu Battle, requiring five days to occupy the Penghu Islands. At that time, the USS Washington aircraft carrier cooperated with the operation, and this move was intended to confuse the Japanese army. Two days after Penghu started, the north began to launch landing operations. The 32nd Army, 35th Army, and 36th Army, with the goal of Hsinchu. The Yuelin unit of the 32nd Army is the main attacking force, and requires two days to successfully land." "Yuelin stood up and shouted: "Carry the task!"

Li Zongren stood up and said, "Taiwan has been enslaved by the Japanese for 50 years, just like an abandoned child who left his mother's arms. Deputy Commander-in-Chief Mu warned that landing in Taiwan to fight is different from the situation in the mainland. The people on the island who have been influenced by the Japanese for a long time will be cold in the centripetal force and cohesion, and the response may not be positive and enthusiastic, so our combat difficulty increases. In order to reduce casualties of the people and fight against big cities, we should try to minimize the use of heavy weapons, so everyone should be mentally prepared."

After the military meeting, the chief officials immediately returned to the troops to prepare. There were still two days before the attack, and Yue Lin's troops had 4 days. After the military meeting, Yue Lin and the Chief of Staff held the military meeting, they quickly returned to the military headquarters, and then convened the commanders of the division to study the combat plan. They carefully studied the gains and losses of the Philippine landing operations, and then brainstormed for soliciting opinions among the majority of officers and soldiers, and quickly came up with a detailed combat plan.

In view of the actual situation in Hsinchu, the offensive plan they formulated was to attack one point. Too big a stall may not be a good thing, that is, to take down the Hsinchu wharf with the most stable defense of the Japanese army, and create conditions for the subsequent troops to advance inland quickly. Landing on the beach is the last difficulty, and there is a detailed issue that they considered very carefully, and this move played an important role in landing on the fast.

On the island of Taiwan, the Japanese army also stepped up preparations. Faced with the powerful offensive that was about to be launched, the Japanese army launched mobilization and large-scale propaganda. It said that once Taiwan is captured, anyone who does things for the Japanese will be shot, and said that this is what they did on the mainland. For a moment, the people on the island were panicked and uneasy. The Japanese acted as a certain effect, deceived and paralyzed many people on the island. After all, the Japanese ruled in Taiwan for 50 years, and there was no doubt about this.

In addition, large-scale air strikes on Taiwan will inevitably hurt innocent people, and this factor has also prompted the people on the island to be disenchanted. Therefore, Taiwan is still deeply influenced by the Japanese and cannot be psychologically lingered. The abandoned child who is about to return to the motherland may have to go through a heart-wrenching pain before he can be reborn.
