Chapter 82 The Japanese Attack the Shandong Base Area
Li Manqiang was stunned for a long time before he said: "Boss, we are not prepared at all, if it weren't for the intelligence, we might have been caught off guard." At this stage, the troops are in integrated training, and their combat effectiveness has not yet been formed. ”
Hu Wenkai frowned and said: "Your staff department has formulated several sets of plans for the company to choose according to our existing strength, you must know that our equipment is first-class in China and even in the Far East, and can you withstand artillery and tanks with a large number of people?" There are three options for this operation, one is that Zhejiang, Anhui, and Jiangsu are all eaten. Second, eat Zhejiang and Jiangsu. Three of them ate Jiangsu. ”
The four of them looked at Hu Wenkai like monsters, daring to think about eating each other instead of defending.
"Think about it, just by which of their troops no longer rifled and broken guns, a few rotten cannons will at most scare the unarmed people. What kind of equipment are our troops? Our troops, the Restoration Party, have already set up branches in the company, and they have their own ideological units. ”
The four of them nodded after his analysis, yes, the troops are not on the same level, and they can be beaten.
Hu Wenkai said viciously: "The special task force selects 50 people to enter Nanjing in batches, and as long as they receive an order, they will immediately capture Qi Xieyuan, and the Nanjing office will be responsible for commanding. ”
Li Wenjun immediately stood up and took out a booklet from the next room and handed it to Hu Wenkai: "Boss, this is the weapons and equipment we obtained from the three brigades of Qingpu, Yangzhou, and Zhenjiang, please take a look at it." ”
Hu Wenkai took it over and flipped through it, and the German-made 79-caliber rifles he was equipped with, 4 British-made Makqin and 2 French-made Harchiques with regimental firepower, and the divisional artillery was 9 artillery companies with 4 guns under the jurisdiction of the artillery regiment, with a total of 36 Japanese-made 38-type 75-mm guns.
Closing the booklet, he took out a cigarette from his briefcase, scattered it around, and lit it: "Li Manqiang, tell me about the weaponry of one of our brigades." ”
Li Manqiang said: "Our brigade is now full after replenishment, and the individual soldiers are standard 20-type rifles, 150 rounds of ammunition, four grenades, a set of camouflage combat uniforms, two pairs of rubber-soled shoes, and a steel helmet; a squad has a portable machine gun; a platoon has 80 mortars; a battalion has a direct artillery company with 6 75 guns built by ourselves; a brigade has 10 105 howitzers and 20 75 guns in the battalion; in addition, each brigade has 10 armored assault vehicles, 30 trucks, and two reconnaissance planes. Communication platoon one. ”
Only then did Hu Wenkai laugh and said: "Okay, don't be arrogant, we haven't delayed the construction of the army for a day." Let go and beat him, a division is completely not worth a brigade of mine. The following is the key point: Li Congshan: Your military factory now has to work in three shifts 24 hours a day to produce munitions, artillery shells, grenades, and mines. From now on, war will be a struggle for weapons, ammunition, and money. ”
"Xu Fusheng, I now announce the establishment of the Jiangsu Garrison Command, with you as the commander and Sun Xiaolan as the temporary deputy commander, and before April, I will reorganize the militia in the area under my jurisdiction into four regiments, which will be responsible for wartime security, logistics and transportation, and the garrison of the occupied areas. In wartime, all civilian ships and automobiles can be called in to cooperate with the martial law issued by the company. ”
Xu Fusheng hurriedly stood up and saluted and replied: "I don't know how to complete the boss's task, thank you for the boss's support." ”
Xu Fusheng began to devote himself to the construction of the militia from Tianfen, and followed Hu Wenkai step by step, and was the backbone of the Tianfen system that Hu Wenkai was particularly relieved of.
"Doing your part is a reward for the company, and I promoted you because of your loyalty to the company, don't think too much." Hu Wenkai pressed his shoulder and asked him to sit down.
"Is there any news from Li Wenjun's Shandong side?"
"There is no news from the boss, everything is fine."
Hu Wenkai reminded: "Let them be vigilant, and teams of more than five people must be checked to prevent scattered entry by land." ”
Hu Wenkai did not know that at this time, two Japanese warships were docked at the Qingdao wharf, and 300 soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Beiyang Army lined up with guns to board the ships one after another.
Only Hu Wenkai and Li Wenjun knew about Shandong, and the other two were not curious if they knew what they shouldn't know. Hu Wenkai asked Li Congshan to inform Yang Siliang, Wu Hongxia and Wang Changrong to go to the Tianxing Town office tomorrow, and asked Li Wenjun to send a report to Zhang Facheng of the Nanjing office to collect Qi Xieyuan's situation in Nanjing, and it was late at night after explaining everything he could think of.
It was night, and the rain stopped for a few days, and I lay on the bed for a while, thinking about whether my strength was too small, and thinking about whether the news delivered by Meixiang was accurate. I remembered what I said in later generations: Even if she is powerful in the world, she is still a woman! Even if she dumps all beings, she is still a woman! Even if she is ruthless and decisive, she is still a woman, even if she cultivates to a high level, she is still a woman. Mei Xiang is a woman who has fallen in love, and her heart settles down a little when she thinks of this. Dissect the reasons why women do things, unless a madman will explore it.
On the dark sea near Rizhao, the two warships stopped quietly, and Sakai Jiro Osaku lay in the cabin, his body swaying with the shaking of the hull, and a happy smile appeared on his face. After the end of this operation, he will definitely make a heavy stroke on his military merit book, and the family will do their best to help him dredge the upper echelons in order for him to be promoted to major general as soon as possible to get this opportunity.
Of the 300 soldiers, 270 were selected from the Qingdao and Lushun troops, and 30 were borrowed from Zhang Zuolin's department in the northeast.
When the day dawned, he remembered the short whistle, and the dinghy on the warship was lowered into the sea from the deck, and the soldiers boarded the dinghy in groups of ten. Sakai Jiro ordered thirty Chinese soldiers to land first, while the rest waited for the signal before going ashore.
The deserted shore was only the sound of the crashing waves, and soon the red lights on the shore flashed to mean that everything was normal. The boats that followed were docked one after another, and the horses and small guns were finally brought ashore. Rizhao Port is about 45 kilometers away from Fenshui Town, but it happens to be not an area controlled by Zhang Dequan, and the three counties controlled by Zhang Dequan are close to Jiangsu.
According to the plan, Jiro Sakai stopped the team outside the area controlled by Zhang Dequan and rested on the spot. The locals who met them along the way avoided from afar, and Sakai Jiro knew that this was a normal situation in China, and the people were most afraid of officers and soldiers. Immediately after setting up the simple tents for the army, three groups of scouts were arranged to change into civilian clothes and go to the regimental forest to reconnoitre, set up a radio station to send a report, and everything was going according to plan.
According to the plan of the General Staff, Sun Minghui and Zhang Dequan concealed 500 troops each at a distance of 50 kilometers east and northwest of Tuanlin Town, and the sentries of the Korean Training Office in Tuanlin Town received a death order to only enter and not leave during this time, and more than 30 special service members and capable soldiers were scattered in a 20-kilometer area around and firmly monitored.
Two short-haired young men dressed in shabby cotton walked towards the training site, one sentry came forward with a gun and questioned him, and the other sentry held a gun and watched from the sentry post.
"You two can't go any further, there's a military forbidden land in front of you."
"Master Jun, we want to join the army." As he spoke, the man stood on tiptoe and looked in.
"Hurry up and get out, we're not hiring." The sentry pulled the bolt with a clatter, and the bullet was loaded.
The two of them didn't stop asking: "Is there a place to join the army near here?" ”
"Nope! Hurry up and get out. The sentry shouted.
Sun Minghui hid under the ridge and held a telescope to watch the scene in front of him, and smashed the special agent next to him and motioned to follow. After the others walked away, they put away the binoculars and returned to the headquarters set up in the brick cave, picked up the phone, arranged for the troops to eat immediately, and waited for orders.
Soon Zhang Dequan walked in, and two people also came from his side, but they were not ready to come in, but they were just observing with binoculars on the periphery. Sun Minghui said: "It can be determined that the Japanese troops are not far away, and we will wait for the person who is following us to reply." Now send a telegram to the boss saying that the bird has been crated. ”
Jiro Sakai looked at the map in the tent against the plan, thinking about returning to Qingdao to celebrate. The adjutant came with a scout to report: "Your Excellency, it has been confirmed that the northwest corner of Tuanlin Town is a training camp for Koreans. ”
After carefully inquiring about the results of the investigation, Sakai Jiro clapped his big hand on the map and excitedly beckoned the staff officer beside him to come over: "Look, you see, our two hundred people are attacking from the east frontally, and this road in the southwest corner is the only way to retreat. ”
The disdain of the Koreans here was incomparable to that of the Japanese soldiers, and ten Japanese soldiers steadily eliminated one hundred of them. Sakai Daisa's battle plan was decent, and the enemy was attacking suddenly in the open and in the dark, and the staff officers said inappropriately: "According to Osa's battle plan, now immediately start the meal Yamamoto Shaosa will leave an hour early, and return to the steamer for dinner to solve the problem." ”
Sun Minghui gasped when he saw a group of Japanese wearing Beiyang military uniforms: "The Japanese are so fucking cunning, if they hadn't known in advance, they would have fooled them." ”
He said to the people next to him: "Bring three people and an 80 mortar, and blow up their radio station for me when the Japanese attack begins." ”
Jiro Sakai led 200 people around the main road and took the small road to a kilometer to the training camp and stopped. The two Japanese scouts walked to the morning post again, and the sentries struggled to be dragged into a ditch by the side of the road. In the distance, Zhang Dequan glared angrily at his subordinates, and Sun Minghui kicked him: "I asked him not to tell the sentry, and a sentry has been removed." The absence of a sentry would make them feel suspicious, and the sentry knew that he would not be able to control the shooting. ”
Two hundred men bent over with guns in their hands and strode towards the training camp, several small cannons were removed from their horses and installed for a quick test firing, and explosions were heard after the smoke rose from the training camp. The Type 20 rifle in the hands of the special forces locked on to Jiro Sakai, who was holding the binoculars, with a quadruple scope, and several bullets hit him at the same time. The first round of gunfire knocked down more than a dozen Japanese soldiers with pistols in their waists.
Screaming machine guns rang out from the barrage point outside the training camp, and the soldiers in khaki camouflage uniforms behind the Japanese troops immediately extinguished the Japanese small artillery, and six or seven mortars sounded muffled sounds, and one mortar shell after another flew into the sky and continued to fall on the Japanese troops and explode.
