Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Regarding the use of the new government's troops, Wang Jingwei and Zhou Fohai had already reached an agreement with the Japanese side. They would only use them to maintain public security and would not directly participate in fighting Chongqing.  Therefore, Master Chen¡¯s troops do not need to be driven in front by the Japanese to lead the battle like in the movie.

    **The defense area of ??the 11th mixed brigade was too large. The leader of the Gaoqiao brigade was like a sanitation worker. After "sweeping" this side, he had to "sweep" that side. It was not easy to piece together an army of several thousand people. If he didn't "sweep" this "Wunan"  If the "quasi-security area" is turned into a "security area", he and his brigade will never go back home.

    In order to concentrate his troops as much as possible, he deployed Master Chen's Qiu Camp, Xie Camp, and the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Regiment on the Benniu, Hukeng, and Makan front lines respectively. While assisting the Murakami Brigade in "sweeping" the two wings, he also stationed troops on various fronts.  traffic arteries and bridges, and followed the main force to advance steadily southward, trying to wipe out all the anti-Japanese armed forces operating in the area.

    At nine o'clock in the morning, the combat order was officially issued.

    Takahashi personally led the ** infantry brigade, mountain artillery brigade, engineering brigade, communications brigade, and a brigade of the West Field Regiment of the 17th Division directly under the brigade and regiment headquarters, totaling more than 2,600 people, heading south in a mighty manner.  Attack forward.

    The fourteen Japanese troops of the Big Bear Detachment attached to the First Battalion of the Second Regiment, under the command of a warrant officer, began a "mopping up" aggressively.  Consultant Xiao Lin was about to make a move, but when he saw the detachment walking further and further away, he finally couldn't help but ran back and said to Kuang Senlin, who was observing with a telescope: "Kuang Sang, I'll go with them, and I'll leave this place to you."

    Monk Kuang waved his hand and said magnanimously: "Go ahead, don't worry about me. Just guard the traffic arteries and take detours from both sides when you see red flares or flags."

    "Then please."

    Xiao Lin bowed slightly, drew his katana and followed him with a bang.

    The Japanese army¡¯s mopping up operations were to arrive at the designated location in advance, then expand and compress toward the center.  Use excellent communication and mobility capabilities to force the opponent to turn to inside operations, thereby forming a decisive battle situation, and then use powerful superior firepower to annihilate them.

    But in Monk Kuang¡¯s view, their intentions are difficult to achieve.  First, the anti-Japanese armed forces operating in Wunan are familiar with the terrain, and you can jump out before they form a siege.  Secondly, their troops are too few.  A dozen people, about fifty meters apart, pressed parallel to the village in front.  After walking less than two miles, the left and right sides were already far apart.  After a while, Xiao Lin's figure disappeared strangely. When he reappeared, he could only see a shadow on the mountain in the distance, waving a saber above his head.

    First Battalion Commander Yao Xiaohuai was a little impatient, put down the telescope and asked: "Brother, what should we do now?"

    Monk Kuang gave him a roll of his eyes and said angrily: "My fellow villagers, do you also want to go with the Japanese to harm them?"

    "Where did you say they went?" Yao Xiaohuai spat and asked in confusion: "Brother, I just wonder why they are so brave. A dozen people and a dozen guns dare to raid  A village.¡±

    ¡°Nothing to fuss about!¡±

    Before Monk Kuang could speak, a familiar voice came from behind, "Didn't the Kwantung Army capture Chengde with one hundred and twenty-eight cavalry? Compared with those madmen, what is in front of us is nothing, let alone the nearby areas."  And our friendly forces.¡±

    Monk Kuang was stunned for a moment and hurriedly greeted him, "Prince, why are you here?"

    "Don't worry, come and see you."

    Young Master Chen nodded slightly, stared at Yao Xiaohuai and said with a half-smile: "Do you remember Lieutenant Ishikawa? Before he went to Tongwen Academy, he applied for the Japanese Army Military Academy. During the admissions interview, the examiner asked a question, saying so-and-so  What should I do if there are enemy troops in the area? Ishikawa asked how many enemy troops there were, so he failed the exam and now he can only serve as a liaison officer and cannot lead troops like other lieutenant officers."

    Yao Xiaohuai was confused and couldn't help but ask: "Then how should I answer?"

    "The standard answer should be to surround and destroy the enemy."

    Young Master Chen sighed lightly, pointed to the village where the Japanese detachment was "sweeping", and then said: "This is to test whether he has an 'offensive spirit'. This is what the military academy teaches and what the officers require."  , so to them it doesn¡¯t matter how many enemies there are, what matters is how to defeat them, and this is what we lack the most.¡±

    Monk Kuang was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It depends on what enemy we fight!"

    "It's interesting. Young Master Chen thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his arm and pointed at the village in front, "Do you dare to hit them?"

    "As long as the host gives the order, what is there to dare to do?"

    Monk Kuang swore firmly, and Master Chen nodded with satisfaction. While leading them to the truck at the intersection, he said nonchalantly: "I'll go to Qiuying to see it."Look, watch out for yourselves.  Again, the requirement is to complete the assembly within 45 minutes as a minimum. No matter what the detachment and Xiaolin say, the troops cannot be deployed too scattered.  "

    "Yes, Traveler!"

    The main force of the Japanese army has just set off, the battle has not officially started, and there is no news from the intelligence office. At this moment, all Mr. Chen can do is one word - "wait".

    On the way to Qiu Camp, you can see military vehicles and mules and horses heading south from time to time.  Due to the hasty assembly, many Japanese soldiers only brought thirty rounds of training ammunition, and now they had to make up for the 180 rounds of actual combat ammunition, as well as drinks and food.

    "Ji Zujun, why are you here too?"

    The truck slowly stopped in front of a gendarmerie checkpoint, where gendarmerie captain Morita happened to be checking the defense. Seeing Mr. Chen sitting in the passenger seat, he greeted him with a smile on his face.

    Young Master Chen jumped out of the car and asked with a smile: "You are all on the front line, why can't I come?"

    "You should stay at the brigade headquarters," Morita glanced at the truck, pointed at several ammunition boxes piled on the side of the road, and said enthusiastically: "But since you are here, you are a guest. I am preparing to eat. Do you want to come too?  point?"

    "Two yellow rice dumplings, a piece of pickles, two pieces of candy, and two cigarettes for each person, standard battlefield food. Young Master Chen was happy, shook his head and said with a smile: "These are the total portions, you should enjoy it yourself."

    "Bangbang"

    Suddenly, a rumbling sound of artillery came from the defense area of ??Qiu Camp. Sangtian was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed and said: "92 Infantry Artillery, Mr. Kawashima must have exchanged fire with the enemy. I really didn't expect that he was allowed to seize the opportunity of the brigade."  In front of Your Majesty the Head."

    "The Eight Township Self-Defense Regiment? Or the People's Anti-Japanese Guerrillas?"

    "It's possible. In short, we must catch them all this time."

    When he arrived, the battle was over.

    A platoon from Qiu Camp was guarding outside the village. Captain Kawashima was chewing dumplings. Together with several curious soldiers, they rushed to the fields to see the dozens of targets they had knocked down.  There were men, women, and children, and some were still panting. The blood dripping from them was exposed to the sun and filled the fields with a fishy smell like rust.  In the corner of the crowd, there was an old lady who had suffered a penetrating chest injury and was already dead. She was holding an earthen pot in her hand, with not a drop of white porridge spilled out.

    Young Master Chen was so angry that he was killing innocent people indiscriminately. When he saw them walking away, he turned back and ordered: "Third Platoon Commander, call some brothers to bury the people."

    "Yes, travel seat."

    Back in the village, the Kawashima Squadron, which had just committed a heinous crime, was having a meal. The Japanese soldiers were lying on the ground casually, eating rice balls, and listening to Kawashima talking about the key points of the raid.

    "Based on past experience, it is best for each person to bring an iron bar one meter long and one centimeter in diameter, which can be used to check fake graves and field edges. If you poke the iron bar down, you will feel something strange, which may be where the enemy is hiding."

    Kawashima used a branch as a pointer and said: "In addition, it is best to form a search team according to the size during the operation. In order to ensure speed, it is best to pack lightly. Also, during the search, regardless of whether there is an enemy or not, the surroundings should be strictly alert.  Do not act alone. In the past, when you relaxed your vigilance and were killed by the enemy, they would often disguise themselves as farmers and pretend to work on the spot with farm tools. If they could not disguise themselves, they would sneak into houses, warehouses, and haystacks.  They pretend to be sick in ditches, ditches, or lying on beds. Residents often dare not report the situation for fear of future troubles. Enemy troops are often camouflaged in gaps in the ground, valleys, caves, civilian ships, and on the roofs of houses, in wells, and in the corridors near temples and villages.  Good people are lurking among them"

    Liang Weihua, who came with him, pulled his sleeve and reminded him in a low voice: "My dear fellow, a little impatience will ruin a big plan!"

    Young Master Chen subconsciously touched his nose, turned around and said, "Let's go and have a look at the battalion headquarters."

    The view on the highway is very wide. Qiu Chengsong set up a guard post nearby, and most of the officers and soldiers rested in place.  As soon as the two of them walked into the headquarters tent accompanied by Qiu Chengsong, Xie Wenshan, the communications director who was supposed to be guarding the radio station in the truck, suddenly followed in.

    "There are no outsiders here, Nian!"

    "Yes," Xie Wenshan took out the message from his bag, "Deputy Brigadier Wang sent an urgent message. The tiger confirmed that the old ghost would arrive in Shanghai at noon the day after tomorrow. The eagle confirmed that the 2nd Field Railway Command had just transferred an armored military column back from Xuzhou. The railway  The 13th Wing Ishii Squadron did not patrol as usual, but was on standby at the base. "

    Tiger and Laogui are the codenames of Chen Bijun and Itagaki Seishiro respectively.

    In the past few days, Master Chen has been sending her reports for various reasons, asking for instructions, reporting and asking about the troops stationed in Nanjing and the receipt of mechanized equipment, etc., and all of this depends on Itagaki, the Chief of Staff of the China Expeditionary Force.  She must have been annoyed by the continuous telegrams, and she inadvertently set the time when Itagaki arrived in Shanghai.?It was leaked.

    Young Master Chen was overjoyed. He pondered for a moment and then resolutely ordered: "Consultant Wei, please return to the airport immediately to prepare."

    According to the final battle plan determined last night, Master Chen will stay south of the Beijing-Shanghai line to command Qiu Ying, Xie Ying and the 1st Battalion of the Second Regiment to block the return of Gaoqiao¡¯s main force; Liang Weihua will be stationed at Chenduqiao Airport to command Lin Ying, Chen  The battalion and Zhang Luying, who were about to be reorganized, ambushed Banyuan and captured Changzhou City and the train station; Zhang Xiaoguo, who stayed in Wubei, was responsible for commanding Chen Ying, Yang Ying and the 2nd Battalion of the Second Regiment, disrupting traffic and blocking the way to Nanjing, Jiangyin, Wuxi and Yixing.  enemy.

    In order to prevent the Japanese from becoming suspicious, the Qiu Camp, Xie Camp and the 1st Battalion of the Second Regiment stationed in Wunan were only equipped with light weapons and had no artillery support. They did not even have explosives or grenades. It would be difficult to block Takahashi Chongzo's retreat.  it goes without saying.

    But Kuang Senlin and Yao Xiaohuai were here, and it was not possible for someone else to take command. Liang Weihua had to nod his head heavily and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Prince, don't worry, I will be back as soon as possible.  "
