The headache for the Japanese command in China was finally resolved.

That was the matter of the Fourth Division's attack on the Kuomintang's Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui anti-Japanese columns.

For several days in a row, the Fourth Division was ordered by the Passive Resistance Headquarters, and it was slow to send troops to the Taihu Lake area in Wuxi, and the suppression of the anti-Japanese columns in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui could not be implemented.

Yesterday, the 4th Division finally replied that it would leave for Wuxi on April 18.

This made the chief of staff of the headquarters of the Chinese army finally breathe a sigh of relief.

On April 17, Tanaka brought a message from Yamashita in the hope that Zhou Lin would use his connections to maneuver.

On the one hand, they were reluctant to fight, so they asked Zhou Lin to release the news of the imperial army's expedition to Wuxi, so that the people of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui anti-Japanese columns could avoid it.

On the other hand, the planned place to send guns was Ding Sibin. Let the bandits in Qinglong Mountain pretend to be the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui anti-Japanese columns to fight the Fourth Division.

The imperial army was defeated, and finally lost its guns and withdrew, and then rushed to eliminate this group of anti-Japanese columns in Taihu Lake.

Zhou Lin immediately contacted Yang Kun and told him that the Fourth Division would clear the anti-Japanese columns in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui, and please withdraw from the Taihu Lake area in Wuxi as soon as possible.

Yang Kun immediately telegraphed Dai Li, so the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui anti-Japanese columns operating in Wuxi withdrew to Huzhou overnight.

At the same time, Zhou Lin went to Smith, and when he came out, Smith had already sent a telegram to Ye Jun, asking them to set up an ambush in Ding Sibin.

On April 18, General Yamashita of the 4th Division, who remained behind, took half a squadron of Japanese troops on board several medium-sized patrol boats to patrol the sea.

And on an island that is not big or small, Ye Jun also took a company of people and boarded the island on a dozen wooden boats.

The soldiers who landed on the island were all dressed as bandits, and their positions had been set up in case of emergency.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Yamashita led a boat to the island, and accompanied him with a small group of Japanese soldiers.

The rest of the Japanese troops were on patrol boats, also on alert, just in case.

Ten minutes later, Smith arrived, accompanied by the Germans.

The guards set up a table in a sheltered part of the island and filled it with refreshments.

Everyone was in no mood to eat, and the people from all three parties were waiting for news from Ding Sibin.

At this time, the advance wing of the 4th Division had already reached Ding Sibin.

"Tell the division commander that our unit has arrived at Ding Sibin." The Wing Commander ordered the operator to deliver the report.

After a while, the Wing Commander received an order: "Do as planned." ”

The Wing Captain glanced at the narrow strip ahead, a place that was taboo for soldiers.

If he hadn't known that this was singing, he would definitely not have let the troops rush in.

Because as long as the enemy will open the mouth, how many will die if they go in.

However, now it was a door-to-door delivery, and he dared to let two thousand soldiers in.

"Tell everybody that chaos came in, shot into the air, and when they got to the edge of the river, where there were a few boats, they threw all the guys in their hands away, and came back empty-handed. Grenades and bullets were also lost. "The Wing Commander ordered the two captains.

In this "campaign", two brigade commanders led their own brigades to "attack".

While the Wing Commander was arranging a military operation, a telegram arrived at Yamashita on the island.

"My two brigades are already preparing to enter Ding Sibin, and your people are ready to receive the goods."

Yamashita said to Ye Jun that he had a few black words with Ye Jun, which he learned temporarily.

After saying black words, Yamashita believed that Ye Jun was a bandit.

Ye Jun immediately went to his radio station and ordered: "Send a report to the three masters, the goods have been delivered, open the door to receive the goods." ”

This third leader is the chief of staff of the first column of the New Fourth Army.

As soon as he heard that he was going to receive the goods, three signal flares immediately rose above Ding Sibin.

Seeing the flare, the commander of the Japanese wing immediately ordered: "Delivery!" ”

So, under the leadership of the two captains, more than 2,000 Japanese troops rushed into Ding Sibin in a scattered and unformed manner.

They laughed as they shot into the sky and ran forward giggling.

And the side of the New Fourth Army also fired into the sky, and the gunfire and artillery were particularly loud.

The people nearby were so frightened that they ran away, this Japanese is fighting with the anti-Japanese elements! Run, you'll die if you're late.

The battle lasted thirty minutes before the sound of gunfire slowly subsided.

Two large groups of Japanese soldiers lined up to shoot into the sky and throw guns and ammunition at the same time.

When it was finally finished, the two captains shouted, "Please order the goods!" ”

Then an order was issued, and more than 300 soldiers of the New Fourth Army dressed as bandits stepped forward to count.

In the end, the numbers were put together and reported to the chief of staff.

The chief of staff immediately ordered a report: "The goods are in the right quantity, they are all good goods." ”

Ye Jun, who was on the island, immediately received the telegram and returned to the place where the three parties were sitting with a smile.

Ye Jun took out a cashier's note and handed it to Smith: "Please collect the money!" ”

Smith looked at it and immediately put away the cashier's note: "The number is correct!" ”

With that, Smith took out another cashier's note from his bag and handed it to Yamashita.

This is the method negotiated by the three parties: the bandits' promissory notes will be collected by Smith, and even if they find out, Smith is an American, and the Japanese can't help him.

It was up to Smith to write a promissory note to Yamashita, and the Americans' promissory notes were credible and not afraid of scams.

So within a few minutes, the three parties completed the transaction.

After Yamashita received the money, he ordered a message: "The money has been received!" ”

Seeing that the telegram was sent, then, Yamashita smiled Mimi and raised his wine glass: "Cheers to the success of our first cooperation!" ”

The three parties immediately went their separate ways, and after ten minutes, the island was quiet again.

After receiving the telegram, the commander of the 4th Division immediately ordered the attacking wing to retreat, and the telegram was burned here.

Half an hour passed, and the scouts reported that the bandits had left in the dozen or so boats.

Only then did the division commander order the troops to charge forward and advance into Wuxi.

At the same time, the division commander ordered a report to the headquarters of the army stationed in China: "Our army was attacked by the enemy at Ding Sibin, and one wing suffered heavy losses, but then we attacked Ding Sibin and chased the anti-Japanese elements to the shore of Taihu Lake. In the end, the anti-Japanese elements fled by boat. Since our army did not have water tools, the pursuit was stopped. In this battle, 3,000 people of the anti-Japanese column of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui were annihilated. Our army suffered five hundred dead and wounded. Two brigades had all their weapons damaged in battle. Please command to approve. ”

And the command of the army stationed in China also received a report from the spies ahead: the battle is very fierce! It is estimated that both sides suffered heavy casualties.

So the command believed the telegram of the 4th Division, praised their heroic deeds, and promised to immediately allocate the equipment of the two brigades to the 4th Division.

This sortie was a three-way delight, and each side was smiling.

The headquarters of the army stationed in China is happy: The Wosang Division has won a great victory under our guidance.

The 4th Division: Sold the weapons of the two brigades, and returned the weapons of the two brigades. Just one trip, I earned 150,000 oceans. The division did not lose at all.

Yan'an, on the other hand, is happy: with the equipment of nearly three regiments, three more regiments can be equipped and put into the anti-Japanese battlefield.

And Hi Smith: This business is easy to do! It's like singing. I can watch the play and make money at the same time, no, I can earn 10,000 oceans effortlessly.

Zhou Lin is happy: Why am I so smart? Such a good strategy can also come out. Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
