After a few seconds, Zhang Chen under Feng Chen moved his body impulsively, Feng Chen got up from Zhang Chong's back, Zhang Chong then also stood up and looked at Feng Chen, and asked with a look of concern in gratitude: "Are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, it looks like the Japanese are testing the gun. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Feng Chen replied as he brushed the dust from his hair with both hands.

"It seems that the Japanese army transferred large-caliber howitzers when they increased their troops this time." Zhang Chong looked into the air and said.

"Report! Commander-in-Chief Jiang and Commander Zhang invited Chief Zhang to discuss the matter. A staff officer trotted out and gave Zhang Chong a military salute and reported.

"Got it."

Zhang Chong promised the staff officer, and at the same time instructed Feng Chen: "You and Mo Sanqiang will wait for me in the command headquarters for a while, it is estimated that there is a task to be assigned to you." ”

After waiting for nearly an hour, Zhang Chong came out of the discussion room inside, summoned Feng Chen and Mo Sanqiang together, and arranged: "Just now several commanders discussed together, the Japanese army has 23 heavy artillery, 3,200 infantry guns, and 852 curved guns for reinforcement this time, these artillery pieces pose a great threat to our army, but the specific location of the defense is not clear to our army, and we need to send people to investigate." ”

"Commissioner, did you give us this task?" Mo Sanqiang asked eagerly.

"I have just studied, this reconnaissance mission is in charge of Feng Chen, who is proficient in Japanese, assisted by Mo Sanqiang, and the rest of the personnel, drawn from the 19th Route Army and the Fifth Army, within three days, to reconnoiter the location of the Japanese artillery position." Zhang Chong said solemnly.

"This ......," Feng Chen hesitated and did not agree.

In fact, Feng Chen didn't want to accept this task, but he had been thinking about how to deal with the matter of "Wu Hao's notice", once he accepted the task, he would not have a chance to leave the temple for at least three days.

"What? Are there any difficulties? Just as Feng Chen was hesitating, Zhang Chong looked at Feng Chen and asked.

"I'm thinking about how I can do it." Feng Chen replied.

"How many personnel are needed and what equipment is needed, although it is proposed, the task must be completed within three days, otherwise it will be difficult for our army to fight in the battle of Miaoxing."

Zhang Chong had just finished arranging the task, when a tall and handsome middle-aged general walked over, glanced Feng Chen up and down, and greeted Zhang Chong: "Brother Zhang, presumably this little brother is the eldest son of Feng, right?" ”

Zhang Chong hurriedly introduced to Feng Chen: "Brother Feng, this is the famous General Wang Gengwang, the head of the tax police regiment, a high-achieving student who graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point. ”

"Long admiration, long admiration, long hearing of General Wang's name is like thunder!" Feng Chen hurriedly stepped forward, and very respectfully stretched out his hands to hold Wang Geng's hand and said.

Feng Chen said that he had heard of the name for a long time, this is not true at all, when Feng Chen was still studying in Shanghai Lida Middle School, the emotional dispute between Wang Geng and Lu Xiaoman and the third party Xu Zhimo was the hottest news at that time, and finally Wang Geng took the initiative to withdraw from the dispute with elegant gentlemanly generosity, and he is still single.

After Lu Xiaoman and Wang Geng divorced, he married Xu Zhimo in October 26, but Xu Zhimo's life was short, and in November last year, when he took a plane from Nanjing to the north, he died in a plane crash.

Seeing that Feng Chen, a young man, was dressed in an elegant manner, Wang Geng suddenly felt good, smiled and stretched out his hand to pat Feng Chen's shoulder and said, "Mr. Feng, whether the Japanese bombardments can land on our position depends on you!" ”

"Report to General Wang, and I will do my best to complete the task."

"You can pick a few good men from my guard camp and let them protect you."

"Thank you, General Wang, for your concern!"

"I'll ask the commander of the guard battalion, Ma Shaojun, to come to you in a while." As he spoke, Wang Geng patted Feng Chen's shoulder again, said hello to Zhang Chong next to him and left.

In the afternoon, in a small conference room of the intelligence department of the newly formed Fifth Army, all the personnel of the temporary reconnaissance team that had just been formed were assembled, and the members of the detachment, plus Feng Chen and Mo Sanqiang, totaled 10 people.

Commander-in-chief Jiang Guangnai authorized the entire squad to obey Feng Chen's orders, because Feng Chen and Mo Sanqiang were not soldiers, so Sun Hongtao, commander of the reconnaissance company of the 156th Brigade of the 19th Route Army, was the captain of the squad, and Xu Jian, the platoon commander of Cai Tingkai's guard company, was the deputy captain.

Sun Hongtao brought three people from the reconnaissance company, and the other three were three snipers drawn from Wang Geng's tax police corps, and the three of them were all Mauser 98K sniper rifles, and the gun also had a scope, this kind of gun Feng Chen had seen for the first time.

The German Mauser 98K sniper rifle has not yet been mass-produced, and there are five such rifles in the entire national army, that is, the tax police corps, and Wang Geng sent three of them, which shows that Wang Geng attaches great importance to this reconnaissance team.

After the officers arrived, everyone introduced themselves to each other and began to discuss what methods to use to investigate.

Due to the authorization of the commander-in-chief Jiang Guangnai, the reconnaissance team needed to obey Feng Chen's command, so these soldiers did not speak, their eyes looked at Feng Chen, waiting for Feng Chen to speak first.

Except for Mo Sanqiang and Xu Jian who knew Feng Chen, the rest of the people looked at Feng Chen's scholarly appearance, and they were not very old, and they were all worried about whether they could successfully complete the task and whether they could come back alive.

Feng Chen glanced at everyone and asked, "Who among us can speak Japanese?" Raise your hand, please. ”

Two of the three scouts brought by Sun Hongtao raised their hands, and no one else raised their hands.

Feng Chen looked at it and said, "With me, three of the ten of us can speak Japanese; I have an idea, ten of us disguised as Japanese troops, go deep into the enemy's deep area, find the location of artillery positions, what do you think? ”

"We don't know the Japanese army's password, I'm afraid that we will be exposed just after sneaking into the opponent's position." Sun Hongtao, the captain of the team, said worriedly.

"We can touch over and capture the two prisoners tonight, interrogate them first, and see what kind of password the Japanese army uses." Vice Captain Xu Jiandao.

Everyone was talking about countermeasures, and Feng Chen saw that Mo Sanqiang had never spoken, so he pointed to Mo Sanqiang's name and said, "Sanqiang, you also tell me what you think." ”

Mo Sanqiang said: "I have an idea, this time Ueda Kenkichi's reinforcements are the Ninth Division of the Japanese Army, and they are not subordinate to the Japanese Marine Corps under the command of Shiozawa Koichi and Nomura Kichizaburo, can we make a fuss about this." ”

Mo Sanqiang's words made Feng Chen's eyes light up, yes, why not take advantage of the contradictions between the Japanese army to sneak into the opponent's position?

The Japanese Army has always looked down on the Navy, and the Japanese Navy has always been very arrogant, and during the war, the positions were mixed with each other, so they took advantage of the enemy's loopholes.

As a result of the discussions, they agreed to try to secretly cross the river from Fumohama at night, first infiltrate the position of Nomura Kichizaburo's marines, scratch their tongues, disguise themselves as Japanese marines after dawn, and then enter the position of Kenkichi Ueda's 9th Division to conduct reconnaissance.

Fuzaohama Yokogawa is located in the northern part of Shanghai and is an important military barrier.

This time, after landing at Wusong, the 9th Division of Lieutenant General Kenkichi Ueda of the Japanese Army was mainly deployed on the front line of Fuzaobang in an attempt to occupy the key pass of Fuzaobang in order to cut off the connection between Wusong and Zhabei and to divide and encircle the 19th Route Army and the Fifth Army.

The gains and losses of Fumohama are directly related to the victory or defeat of the entire battle, and whether or not they can hold the front line of Fumohama depends on whether they can eliminate the artillery position of the Ninth Division of Ueda Kenkichi.

At nine o'clock in the evening, everything was ready, and a military truck, carrying a reconnaissance detachment disguised as Japanese marines, set off from the temporary headquarters of the Fifth Army in Miaohang and headed for the Fumohama River.

For more than 20 minutes, the car stopped in front of a small forest by the Fuzaobang River, and after all ten people got off the car, the car turned around and returned to the temple.

In the grove, everyone gathered around to discuss how to smuggle across the river.

Sun Hongtao said in a low voice: "I brought people over to reconnoiter during the day, the river here is narrow, and the opposite side is the defense area of the Japanese marines, and there is a large group of marines stationed there, and during the day, every half an hour, there is a group of Japanese soldiers patrolling along the riverbank, and the situation is not very clear at night. ”

As he was talking, more than a dozen flashlights on the other side shone towards the grove. Everyone quickly hid and quietly observed the movement on the other side.

"Da, da, da—" A burst of gunfire swept towards the grove.

"Don't move, this is the enemy's fire reconnaissance, everyone is hidden!" Sun Hongtao ordered in a low voice.
