After Zhou Wu returned to the garrison, he immediately ordered his subordinates Ge Sanmin and Xiao Zheng to immediately enter a state of combat readiness, wait for the general attack order at any time, prepare for battle, and liberate Dahai1 At the same time, Zhou Wu called the fat man in Wusongkou and asked him to immediately send a few capable brothers to escort the negotiators of the field army to the city of Shanghai, contact the comrade who was placed in the enemy's headquarters, and explain to Deputy Commander Liu that there was absolutely no good end to stubborn resistance.
After receiving Zhou Wu's order, the fat man hurriedly sent three brothers who often carried out reconnaissance missions to disguise themselves as businessmen with the negotiator sent by the field army headquarters to infiltrate Shanghai City, and settled down in the most prosperous and lively international hotel in the center of Shanghai.
When it was almost dusk and dark that afternoon, a middle-aged man wearing a top hat and a suit came into the lobby of the International Hotel.
The waiter in the lobby hurriedly replied with a smile: "Oh, the gentleman in room 303 just now has already greeted me, let me keep an eye out for guests coming, they are waiting for you." ” The middle-aged man immediately took out two pieces of ocean and stuffed them to the waiter in the lobby, and the waiter immediately smiled on his face.
The waiter immediately came out, took the middle-aged man to the third floor, pointed to the room and said to him: "Please, if there is anything, just ring the doorbell, the little one will come immediately" After speaking, he retreated.
The middle-aged man looked around vigilantly, and found that no one was following, so he knocked lightly on the door three times, and then knocked three times, and the door was opened a crack, and a voice came from inside: "Sir, what is the matter, it is that the family is sick" The middle-aged man hurriedly replied: "It is my mother who is sick and has come to ask the gentlemen for treatment." ” The code was paired, and Lao Li, the representative of the People's Liberation Army inside, hurriedly opened the door to let the middle-aged man in, and the three brothers next to him hurriedly looked outside, leaving the two brothers on guard in the corridor, closing the door, Lao Li held the middle-aged man's hand and said: "Comrade Lao Hu, you are here, hurry up and tell me about the situation over there" This middle-aged man is the old comrade Hu of the underground party who has been lurking beside Tang Enbo for more than 20 years, and he came to contact Lao Li this time to discuss with Lao Li about the uprising of the Kuomintang contingent left behind in Shanghai.
However, Deputy Commander Liu had done things that were sorry for the Communist Party before, and he was afraid that the Communist Party would pursue these things, so he hesitated for a while and could not make a decision.
Last night, Deputy Commander Liu asked Lao Hu to stay and eat with him, and after taking away the adjutant and secretary next to him, Deputy Commander Liu went straight in: "Lao Hu, you help me refer to the reference, now I am in this situation, what should I do Shanghai City is already embattled, I don't think it will last long, Wusongkou has been captured again, it is impossible to retreat by sea, the Air Force still has a few planes at Hongqiao Airport, but how many people can you take away You have been with Commander Tang for more than 20 years, I don't understand, Why didn't you go to Taiwan with Commander Tang this time, is it really because Ling Zun is too old to run around at this time, don't hide it, I also got some news, just say it directly, I guarantee with my personality, I will never embarrass you. ” Lao Hu's heart was suddenly shocked, thinking that this Deputy Commander Liu, he had actually guessed his true identity, thinking that he was also a lieutenant general and deputy commander, not to mention that he had followed Commander Tang for more than 20 years, but this time he did not follow him to Taiwan, this alone someone can roughly guess what is going on, there must be something that Lao Hu can't give up here in the mainland, and the elderly mother's inconvenience is a reason, but it is certainly not the main reason, this, Deputy Commander Liu's subordinates who were engaged in intelligence must have also reported the situation to him, and Deputy Commander Liu has been in the officialdom for a long time, and after careful consideration, he found the problem, and took advantage of this opportunity now, he will not beat around the bush, and directly point it out.
Lao Hu thought that since this is the case, there is no need to hide it anymore, he still believes that the personality of this Deputy Commander Liu is much more noble than Commander Tang, who has followed him for more than 20 years, and he should be able to do what he says, even if people immediately turn their faces and deny it, then since it has reached this point, he can only consider himself unlucky.
I can't blame others, who let myself be unnecessarily negligent at work.
"Yes, I'm over there, Commander Liu, I don't say that you know about the situation now, can Shanghai be defended" Lao Hu said to Deputy Commander Liu.
"What does it matter to you if you can keep it or not, have something to say, stop beating around the bush."
"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll make it clear, the East China Field Army has already come to ask for negotiations to discuss the issue of the peaceful liberation of Shanghai, Commander Liu, we hope that you can follow the general trend, lay down your arms, and strive for a peaceful solution to the Shanghai problem."
Lao Hu finally showed his hole cards.
Deputy Commander Liu's face changed all of a sudden, Lao Hu was ready for the worst in his heart, his eyes stared straight at Deputy Commander Liu, the PLA team has surrounded Shanghai City, the passage to the sea Wusongkou is also under our control, if Deputy Commander Liu insists on going his own way and stubbornly resists to the end, then it is inevitable that he will be arrested and sacrificed, but he can save Shanghai, the largest city in China, from the flames of war, and avoid the sacrifice of soldiers on both sides of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, his own life is still secondary, after all, it is a civil war between the Chinese, If it can be resolved peacefully or Deputy Commander Liu holds a battlefield uprising, that is the best result, if not, then it will only usher in a more violent bloody storm.
Deputy Commander Liu thought about it for several minutes, and Lao Hu felt that these few minutes were the most difficult minutes in his life, longer than a whole year, and he kept thinking about various results in his heart, and even planned to be arrested and sacrificed by the Kuomintang guards who rushed in from outside.
In the end, Deputy Commander Liu finally spoke: "Can you not blame me for my previous affairs?"
As soon as Lao Hu heard the joke, he hurriedly said: "I can guarantee this, we will never dwell on the past, you always know the Commander Hu in Jinan, he also took refuge in the Japanese puppet during the Anti-Japanese War, but because he led the 95th Army to revolt on the battlefield at the critical moment of the Jinan Campaign, and now he is serving as the commander of the People's Liberation Army Li, Commander Liu's previous experience is probably not as rich as this Commander Hu." ” Hearing Lao Hu's words, a stone in Deputy Commander Liu's heart finally landed, he hurriedly nodded and said to Lao Hu: "Then please ask someone from there to meet tomorrow night, the specific time and place are up to you, remember that the matter is big, don't leak the slightest rumor, although those spies of the Secret Bureau have run away, but there are other spies, you must be cautious and safe" Commander Liu finally expressed his position.
Lao Li, a representative of the People's Liberation Army, asked Lao Hu Dao: "What is the attitude of Deputy Commander Liu, is there any possibility of plotting a rebellion and fighting for him to revolt?"
"Yesterday he came to me, it seems that he has the intention of uprising, and what he is currently worried about is that we will investigate the bad things he has done in the past, and I have promised him that there should be no worries."
Lao Hu said.
"It is normal for Deputy Commander Liu to have concerns, especially for a local miscellaneous army general like him, who has committed crimes against our comrades in the past, and it is no problem to have such and such concerns, as long as he can follow the trend on the Shanghai battlefield and defect to our side, then he will be able to offset his previous sins, and he will also be able to contribute to the people of Shanghai to save Shanghai, the largest city in China, and save millions of people here from the flames of war," Lao Li said.
"What does that mean, how should we carry out our work next," Lao Hu hurriedly asked Lao Li Dao.
Now is the critical moment to plot against Deputy Commander Liu, and the above has to make a decision, but we can't go on any longer, the people of Shanghai City are in the midst of war, and they can't stand it.
"The command means to listen to your opinions, we can guarantee the safety of the lives and property of the officers and men of the insurrectionary troops, as long as the issue of principle is negotiated, other details of the reorganization can be discussed slowly."
Lao Li said.
When Lao Hu heard this, he hurriedly said to Lao Li: "Okay, I'll go back and tell Deputy Commander Liu right away, and it is estimated that we will be able to negotiate soon." ” Deputy Commander Liu disguised himself as an ordinary businessman, and under the escort of Lao Hu and several personal guards, he walked into the International Hotel and began negotiations with representatives of the People's Liberation Army on a specific battlefield uprising.
When Lao Li, a representative of the People's Liberation Army, explained to Deputy Commander Liu the specific instructions of the East China Field Army Command on the uprising of the Kuomintang troops on the Shanghai battlefield, Deputy Commander Liu said on the spot: "Although I am taking over the post of Tang Enbo, the only troops that can obey my orders are my 51st Army, and other troops west of the Suzhou Creek and in Jiangwan may not necessarily obey my orders and lay down their arms and surrender to your army. ” When Lao Li heard this, he hurriedly nodded and said to Deputy Commander Liu: "We know this, you don't have to worry, we will deal with it, as long as you can hold an uprising on the battlefield, it will definitely shake the rest of the Kuomintang army, and if they still want to resist to the end, they will be greeted with a ruthless devastating blow."
Deputy Commander Liu hurriedly nodded: "Yes, this is the best, after I go back, I will immediately convene a meeting of my officers to announce a battlefield uprising" t1706231537:
