Chapter Eighty-Eight: Assassination?
General Zhang returned a military salute and said with a smile: "The major is a pillar, there is no need to be formal, during the Songhu War, I heard of the prestige of the major, but today I have the fate to see it!" If it weren't for wartime, I would have drunk with the major! ”
Chen Ming did not see this admirable general during the Battle of Songhu, and he was also admired when he saw it, as the highest general who died in China in the Anti-Japanese War, the admiration in his heart was still not discounted in the slightest.
"The general is serious, I don't know what mission I was summoned for?" Chen Ming still remembered this, although the battle began, but the task given by the system was still there, and the bullets were raining on the line of fire, he didn't believe that Zhang Zizhong came to chat with him.
"Come with me!" Although General Zhang said that he was beautiful and gentle, he was a general in the army after all, so he was no longer polite, and directly took Chen Ming to the stone table surrounded by several people, pointed to the map on the stone table and said: "This is Linyi... At the moment, it is General Pang Bingxun who is on the defensive. He crossed the map again, pointed to an attack line and introduced: "The Japanese Fifth Division is moving south from Weifang, although our army is resisting day by day, but it has also come to Linyi. ”
After speaking, he raised his head and looked at Chen Ming: "Our department was ordered to come to Linyi to support General Pang, and it is currently behind the flank of the enemy's fifth division, and it is flanking the enemy's department, summoning the major, there is only one task!" ”
Speaking of this, General Zhang paused for a moment, frowned and said: "The word sniper is a word from mooring, and the soldiers below don't quite understand what it is for, and they are not afraid of jokes, even Zhang doesn't quite understand what it means." However, Zhang had a reluctant request to ask the major to assassinate the board. Seishiro Gaki! I don't know..."
Chen Ming looked down at the combat map, and felt a little funny in his heart, although some of the Chinese troops are well-equipped and of extremely high quality, most of them are not like modern armies, not to mention the equipment with low combat effectiveness.
Of course, the general environment at that time decided some things, but the middle and high-level of the army like Zhang Zizhong did not know the role of snipers, which is really a pity.
As Zhang Zizhong said, the assassination board. Seishiro Gaki, in his mind, a sniper might be more like an assassin.
"General, I don't know there are boards. Seishiro Gaki's information? Where is he? Chen Ming looked at the military map for a while before looking up and asking Zhang Zizhong.
This is a staff officer next to him who walked up, pointed to a point on the map, and said: "After two days of exploration, the most likely place is here, Ju County!" According to the intelligence of the front-line fighters, it should be in the south of Ju County, but we don't have the specific location! ”
Chen Ming slid his finger across the map, their current location was about forty kilometers away from the south of Ju County, but this was a straight line distance, it was impossible for him to cross through the Linyi battlefield, there had been two days of fighting there, scattered troops everywhere, and it was possible to even encounter a large army of the enemy.
After reading the map, Chen Ming looked up at Zhang Zizhong, frowned and said, "General, assassination board. Seishiro Aki isn't a problem, but I have one condition! ”
Zhang Zizhong was looking at Chen Ming, he didn't understand what the command meant by transferring such a major, but he heard that this person had outstanding marksmanship and was proficient in assassination.
He didn't like the gang of military commanders, but since Shangfeng sent this person, it was better to give it a try.
At this time, I heard him say that assassinating the enemy commander was not a problem, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, since he could assassinate him, it was not an exaggeration to say that there were conditions.
"Speak!" Zhang Zizhong looked at Chen Ming with burning eyes.
"General, please see..."Chen Ming pointed to the map and motioned to Zhang Zizhong to look at the map: "I need to take a detour from the rear of Linyi to Ju County." Chen Ming's fingers slid across a line: "This journey is a bit far, in order not to delay time, I would like to ask the general to provide a substitute!" ”
Zhang Zizhong's eyes looked at the line that Chen Ming slid out, it was originally only a journey of more than 40 kilometers, but with such a detour, it was already more than 70 kilometers away, and such a long road was indeed not something that could be reached quickly by manpower.
Frowning, Zhang Zizhong turned around and called a staff officer to give a few instructions, and after waiting for a while, the staff officer actually came back on a motorcycle.
Chen Ming's eyes lit up, this kind of motorcycle he knew, it was a Japanese-made Rikuo97 military motorcycle.
However, it was originally a sidecar model, but for some reason, only one body remained, but the sidecar next to it was gone.
"This motorcycle was seized on our march to Linyi Road, it should not be a problem to use it for transportation, and there are still 30 liters of gasoline here, bring it with you!" Zhang Zizhong took the motorcycle key from the staff officer and handed it to Chen Ming.
"General Xie!" Chen Ming took the key, hung the oil drum on the back of the car, and prepared to set off.
"Major!" As soon as Chen Ming hit the motorcycle, Zhang Zizhong stopped him.
"I wonder what else the general commands?" Chen Ming looked back at Zhang Zizhong.
"I wish you success in this trip! Kill the enemy in one fell swoop! Zhang Zizhong gave a military salute and said solemnly.
Chen Ming sat in the car, saluted and said loudly: "This trip will definitely be successful!" I wish the general good luck! ”
Zhang Zizhong smiled and waved his hand, Chen Ming twisted the accelerator, and the 1200CC engine jumped out with Chen Ming like an arrow from the string.
The road was not easy, and although Chen Ming made a detour and passed through the area controlled by the Chinese army, he still saw Japanese or Chinese troops scattered from time to time.
Occasionally, when he encountered one or two Japanese skirmishers, Chen Ming had to take some effort to get through.
After crossing the Linyi defense line, this situation was much less, and most of the dirt roads were filled with materials and personnel rushing to the battlefield.
Chen Ming's motorcycle has been cleaned up by the 59th Army, and the sun flag on the car has also been covered with paint, otherwise I don't know how many black guns will be shot along the way.
After a few sentry posts, there was a letterhead written by Zhang Zizhong, but no one left him in trouble.
It took two hours for Chen Ming to come to Junan County, east of Linyi.
From here, about thirty kilometers north in a straight line is Ju County, according to the information provided by Zhang Zizhong, Ban. Seishiro Gaki is somewhere in the south of Ju County.
It's easy to say, but it is really not a simple task to rely on him to find a command post disguised by enemy troops in such a large place.
But it's not completely impossible, Chen Ming already has several plans in his heart, and he sees that it's time to improvise.
Junan County is parallel to the east of Linyi City, whether it is the Japanese army or the Chinese army, it is impossible to let go here, whoever can take Junan can threaten the flank of Linyi from the east, so it is the same artillery fire here.
Chen Ming put away the motorcycle, bypassed Junan County, and from the hill on the edge of the county, you could see the two troops fighting at the north gate of the county.
Chen Ming endured that he didn't help the defenders of the county seat, he still had more important tasks to complete, and he couldn't be tripped up here.
However, the exchange of fire here also provided him with some information, and through the sniper scope in the mountains, he quickly identified a Japanese front-line command post about three kilometers from the battlefield.
This command post should be the place where the top brass of the troops responsible for attacking Junan issued orders.
The corners of Chen Ming's mouth hooked up a sneer, put away the sniper rifle, and touched towards the command post that had been determined.
Three kilometers, it took the cautious Chen Ming more than an hour to touch the vicinity of the command post.
This is supposed to be a village attached to Junan County, and the command post of the Japanese army is set up in a high-walled compound.
One kilometer away from here, Chen Ming came across the patrol posts, which perfectly showed the demeanor of the strongest army in Asia at that time.
Rigorous training and rigidity in the bones allow these sentinels to perform their tasks with almost the precision of a gear bite.
It took Chen Ming a lot of effort to enter the vicinity of the command post, which was obviously a tight situation on the outside and loose on the inside, and the Japanese army probably didn't expect that a big war was imminent, and the artillery fire on the front line was noisy, and there would be a person who would come to destroy the enemy's command post.
This is a regiment-level command post, there are only a dozen people in the command post, there are only two guards, and most of the others are staff officers and officers, which Chen Ming determined after observing for a while, and the nearest Japanese patrol is also fifty meters away.
The two guards at the door weren't even standing guard in earnest, but were smoking and chatting together.
After thinking about it, Chen Ming did not alarm the two guards, but went around to the back of the compound and climbed in from the wall that was not too high.
The place where he landed should be the backyard of the original firewood house, there was no one here, the saber was drawn in his hand, and the pistol was placed in a convenient position, Chen Ming touched the front yard.
On the way, I met a few patrol soldiers who were not seen outside, all of them were sent by Chen Ming to see Amaterasu, the more I walked forward, the more noisy the surroundings became, and when I arrived at the main house, I could already hear the telephone ringing in the house and the shouts of the staff officers, obviously the stubborn resistance of the Chinese army also caused a lot of trouble to these Japanese.
Chen Ming didn't have an automatic weapon in his hand, so it was still a bit troublesome to deal with the Japanese officers in this room, but he was not out of the question.
Turning back, he picked up a large pile of dry grass and firewood from the backyard and piled them at the back of the main house, ready to light a fire!
If the Japanese can withstand the fire and not come out, then there is nothing he can do.
He made several ignition points with the bullets on his body, and his ignition plan was extremely successful.
The fire engulfed the whole room in an instant, and a dozen staff officers and several officers rushed out of the gate, still screaming for the soldiers to put out the fire.
This kind of chaos was exactly what he needed, the guards in the courtyard were all killed, only the two at the door were still there, but for such a big fire, two people were obviously not enough.
They didn't dare to use grenades to blow up the fire, and the battle plan in the house that didn't come out of it vetoed the road.
The crowd soon scattered to find someone, and there was only one big Zuo left in the courtyard and two young Zuo were still there, and Chen Ming's opportunity was at this moment!
Jumping out of the hiding place, his target is the one who stands straight!
