Chapter 369: Beginning to Prepare (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
You Lao Liu looked at Ning Zhiheng's repeated questions, and then continued: "This matter is simple to say, but it is very difficult to implement, although the British and Americans have already run away, but the warehouse is still guarded by our own army, they dare not take this responsibility, to get these materials, the consequences are very serious."
The second is that the Japanese have already taken control of the Huangpu River, and it is very difficult for us to transport these supplies back to Shanghai, if we go through the Songjiang River, it is too far, and safety cannot be guaranteed. ”
Speaking of this, You Lao Liu looked at Ning Zhiheng with his eyes and said solemnly: "Because there are many Japanese plainclothes teams in the Pudong area, these Japanese agents are very fierce and have fierce firepower, if there is no strong military support, it will be difficult for us to transport the materials back safely, and we have to put our lives on the line." ”
"There are also Japanese plainclothes teams in Pudong?" Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this!
In the early days of the Japanese invasion of China, almost every unit had its own plainclothes team, and these plainclothes members were trained agents who were proficient in Chinese, impersonating Chinese to carry out, spy on intelligence, reconnoiter terrain, and even perform special operations to attack important targets.
According to historical records, in the great retreat of the Songhu War, it was these plainclothes squads who carried out decapitation operations and attacked a number of national army headquarters, resulting in the loss of contact between the upper and lower levels, and the confusion of command, so that hundreds of thousands of national army officers and men fell into a leaderless situation, which greatly aggravated the degree of retreat chaos, and finally the retreat turned into a major rout, with heavy casualties, which also became the most classic successful case of the Japanese army's special operation.
However, Ning Zhiheng did not expect that there would also be a plainclothes team on the Pudong battlefield, these people were well-trained, concealed and camouflaged, and it was particularly difficult to deal with.
You Lao Liu replied with a wry smile: "Not only that, but there is more than one plainclothes team, our people have encountered it, and two of the fifty people escaped. ”
Ning Zhiheng's eyes flashed, the team under his command was composed of trained agents, and they were just cannon fodder on the frontal battlefield, and the positional battle on the north bank of Suzhou Creek was a lesson, and they didn't even see the enemy's face, and they were taken away by aircraft and artillery.
However, if a special operation is carried out, it is indeed a rare force, they are well-trained, accurate marksmanship, and they are especially good at fighting in a small area, and it is definitely not a problem to deal with these plainclothes teams.
Ning Zhiheng made up his mind in his heart, and then asked You Lao Liu: "I will solve the plainclothes team, what I want to ask is, if I transport all these goods out, what way do you have to transport the goods across the Huangpu River?" The Huangpu River is full of Japanese warships, and if I were to use a car to walk along the Songjiang line, it would be too far! ”
When You Lao Liu heard Ning Zhiheng's words, his eyes lit up, this Captain Ning did not take the Japanese plainclothes team in his eyes, it seemed that the strength in his hands was enough to deal with the Japanese, he couldn't help but smile and said: "As long as Captain Ning can ensure the safety of the goods, then the problem of crossing the river will be handed over to me." ”
Speaking of this, he came to the topographic map of Shanghai hanging on the wall, moved his finger west along the Huangpu River, stopped at one place and said: "The Japanese have indeed blocked the Huangpu River, but their warships are limited, and it is impossible to go too far. Our Qinggang kept a large number of sampan boats in the area of Chenyan Bay upstream, and crossed the river in this place to transport the goods, but the large materials could not be transported, but the medicine was definitely no problem. ”
Ning Zhiheng didn't expect You Lao Liu to have this hand, and couldn't help asking: "How could you predict the battle situation in advance and keep so many small boats here." ”
You Lao Liu grinned, couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "How can we have the ability to tell fortunes?" These are fishing boats on both sides of the river, after the Japanese closed the river, they destroyed a lot of boats, these people had to put the boats upstream, I can organize them to do it together, the 300-meter-wide river surface of the Huangpu River, if you move quickly, you can still guarantee safety! ”
It turned out that this was the case, Ning Zhiheng was overjoyed, and now there was one last question left, after all, the warehouse was still guarded by the troops of the Eighth Army, what should he do to go to Pudong as soon as possible, and transport these materials out of the warehouse under the noses of his own people, you must know that if you take out the medicine one day earlier, those wounded soldiers in the hospital can be treated one day earlier, and save the lives of some young soldiers.
Since Ning Zhiheng has decided to attack these warehouses, he must make preparations for this, he has always believed that everything is difficult, but as long as he is willing to use his brain, there must still be a solution.
Besides, he didn't think it was very difficult, as long as he could pull the team to Pudong, it would not be difficult to get close to these warehouses.
The garrison of the Eighth Group Army was already short of manpower, and they had to guard against Japanese attacks and landing operations, the war was so tight, and the army casualties were seriously reduced, how could they arrange their limited forces to guard the warehouses, there were so many warehouses on the east bank of the Huangpu River, they could not all guard them, at most there were some people left behind, and these people were not a problem at all in Ning Zhiheng's eyes.
When the goods were in hand, the strength in their hands was enough to safely send them to the designated Chen Yanwan, and then transport the medicine across the Huangpu River.
Of course, if he encounters an attack by a plainclothes team, he just happens to deal with these Japanese agents, and the plainclothes team is generally between 100 and 200 people, although they are also elite, but with the combat effectiveness of his own special service team, 600 against 200, Ning Zhiheng is still confident that he can take down these Japanese agents.
The more Ning Zhiheng thought about it, the more he felt that it was worth making this vote, and he asked You Lao Liu, "Can you find out what goods are in these warehouses?" It is better to have a warehouse with medicines, and we have limited manpower, so we can't do it blindly. ”
You Lao Liu immediately nodded and said: "Leave this matter to me, I will immediately send someone to cross the Huangpu River and contact the gang in Pudong, the dock workers there are all our people, and they all know what goods are loaded and unloaded in each warehouse, and I will give you news as soon as I inquire." ”
Ning Zhiheng nodded and agreed: "Okay, you have to do it as soon as possible, but don't just inquire about the information of the medicine, it's best to find out the situation of each warehouse, as long as the materials that are useful to us can be retrieved." ”
Speaking of this, he said meaningfully to You Lao Liu: "Lao Liu, I only need medicine to treat the wounded, and other supplies can be handed over to you to deal with." ”
The meaning of Ning Zhiheng's words was already very clear, and You Lao Liu immediately understood. He spent his efforts to do these things, liaising back and forth, in addition to doing his part for the Anti-Japanese War, he was also able to seek some benefits for himself, isn't this just a good thing to kill two birds with one stone!
In fact, he has long set his sights on these warehouses in Pudong, but he has more than enough strength to solve the difficulties.
He did not have the ability to take the materials out of the warehouse under the nose of the national army, and he could not guarantee that the materials would not be attacked by the Japanese plainclothes team during transportation, he only had the ability to transport the materials across the Huangpu River.
In fact, when Ji Hongyi found him and said that he was asking for medicine for the captain of the special service team, You Lao Liu immediately thought of this, and he could borrow the power of the military to do this.
So he didn't say a word, he contributed his treasured life-saving medicine, and sure enough, his hard work paid off, and now that the goal has been achieved, he and Ning Zhiheng hit it off after talking.
Waiting for Ning Zhiheng to transport the materials across the Huangpu River, in addition to medicines, how to deal with other materials, it is not necessary for him to operate the head snake, now the public concession and the French concession because of the two months of war, surrounded by the armies of both sides, the materials in the concession are also extremely scarce, as long as he transports these materials into the concession, even if he only earns the benefits, the profits are extremely rich.
You Lao Liu's heart was so happy that he couldn't sit still any longer, he left in a hurry to make preparations.
Ning Zhiheng is also ready to find a way to go to Pudong here, it is best to think of a good excuse to mobilize the special team, of course, if it doesn't work, he will simply fake the military order, and directly lead people across the river under the pretext of transferring materials, as long as the plan is careful and the action is fast enough, this operation can be completely successful.
Ning Zhiheng has never been bound by rules and regulations, unscrupulous means to achieve the goal, there is a shortage of medicines in Nanshi, and there are injured soldiers who die every day, he will never let these heroic soldiers lose their lives because of scruples.
Moreover, it would not be long before no one would pay attention to him, a small major officer, and this was the time when he was ready for everything.
Just when he was constantly thinking in his heart, Zhu Weihua walked in quickly, and when he saw Ning Zhiheng, he hurriedly said: "Zhiheng, Brigade Commander Zhang of the Nanshi garrison has notified us to go to the garrison headquarters. ”
Ning Zhiheng hurriedly got up and went out, and drove to the headquarters with Zhu Weihua, the garrison in the southern city was the 165th Brigade of the Eighth Group Army, and the commander was Major General Brigade Zhang Jianglang.
The two of them entered the headquarters and asked to see Zhang Jianglang, and soon an adjutant led them into a spacious office, with a large sand table in the middle of the office, two topographic maps hanging on the wall, and behind the big desk sat a major general officer, who was the commander Zhang Jianglang.
"Report, Zhu Weihua of the Fifth Detachment of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Einsatzgruppen, and Ning Zhiheng of the Special Service Brigade came to report!"
Zhang Jianglang watched the two people come in, nodded politely, and asked them to sit down, after all, this is a unit of the Military Intelligence Investigation Department, and the background of these people is not simple, Zhang Jianglang still has some scruples.
