Chapter 532: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron
In the morning, Jiang Haoran and Lin Long went out, and Jiang Haoran brought back the accurate distance and direction between the tunnel and the dark fort provided by Zhao Zhi, as well as the internal plan of Jiujiang Airport. Lin Long brought back the magnets and oil paper that Jiang Haoran needed, which he needed to use against the Japanese ships tonight.
The excavation of the tunnel was very smooth, and it only took one night to advance nearly 400 meters, and the total length was only 1,100 meters away, which was the distance measured by Zhao Zhi, and it was basically impossible to make a mistake, according to this speed calculation, it could be dug near the enemy's dark fort before the first half of the night.
Jiang Haoran took the compass to determine the direction of the tunnel, and explained that Tie Erdan continued to dig in the current direction, and there must be no deviation, and it was best to dig through before twelve o'clock tonight, although this road is gravel and solid soil, but there is no guarantee that there is no rocky area ahead, and it will be too late to make a temporary detour.
Lin Long touched the wall of the tunnel but raised a new question, this tunnel was dug in a hurry, and the conditions did not allow additional supports, although it was located in a high position, it would not collapse due to water immersion, but at night, Jiang Haoran wanted to blow up the enemy's naval ships, this explosion is not small, it is not an exaggeration to say that the ground is shaking the mountain, in case of a landslide, then this joke will be big.
Jiang Haoran also frowned suddenly, I have to say that Lin Long's words are very reasonable, from here to the riverside is only a dozen miles, the shock wave brought by the violent explosion hitting the riverbed is completely likely to affect the safety of the tunnel, in case of a landslide, the casualties are secondary, and the entire plan to attack the airport has failed.
Everyone talked about it, and finally found a solution, which is to dig a big hole near the dark fort, preferably to accommodate hundreds of people, add supports in this hole to ensure safety, and the attacking team enters this hole in advance, as long as it does not collapse here, the snow wolf special combat team can still continue to break through, and the follow-up troops can only dig through again, although this increases the amount of work in the tunnel, but there is basically no problem in safety, and after this hole, the troops can also quickly reach the ground of the airport, It's a hundred benefits and no harm.
In the afternoon, Wuhan, the headquarters of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army.
Since yesterday, the team of dozens of people of the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team entered Jiujiang, and there has been no news, and thousands of people have basically turned Dongcheng District upside down, and nothing has been found, these dozens of people seem to have evaporated from the world, neither acting, nor showing up, the fear of the unknown is the most terrifying, so that Anan Weiji also began to feel uneasy, and sent telegrams to Jiujiang one after another, but the reply was still nothing.
Kinoshita Yongjian still put the safety of the Zero fighter first, and drove the plane to Wuhan Airport, no matter what Jiang Haoran's idea was, he was not afraid, as long as he entered Jiujiang, he did not believe that he could escape.
But Anan Weiji is unwilling, once the plane leaves Jiujiang, he really can't find a reason for Jiang Haoran to enter Jiujiang, which is equivalent to missing this good opportunity to kill him in vain, although it is to take some risks, but compared to the results of the battle, this risk is nothing, it is no exaggeration to say that Jiang Haoran is a banner of the Chinese army, as long as this flag falls, even if the loss of dozens of planes is worth it, 10,000 steps back, once Jiujiang Airport is really facing the loss, it is not too late to drive the plane out, It is impossible for more than 100 people to defeat the imperial army to the point that they have lost even this little time, this is too unscientific.
Therefore, Anan Weiji still decided to continue waiting, but it depends on what Jiang Haoran's ability to pass through the sky, he felt that the reason why Jiang Haoran didn't come in was that the search in Dongcheng District was too strong, and he was so scared that he didn't dare to act rashly, so he simply sent an order to the commander of the Yamada Mei Second Brigade in Jiujiang, ordering him to stop the search, stay still for the time being, and bring Jiang Haoran in first.
Soon after the order was issued, news came from Nanchang that it was found that the 40th Group Army had found an abnormal troop movement, and it was suspected that Yin Donglai's troops from the new line of Gao'an were advancing towards Nanchang.
Anan Weiji and Kinoshita Yong glanced at each other, and they both felt a little incredible, could it be that the 40th Group Army was preparing to attack Nanchang at this time?
Ten minutes later, two reconnaissance planes from Wuhan Airport quickly took off and headed straight over Nanchang.
Soon, the news came back, not only Yin Donglai's department moved forward, but also Shanggao's Su Peng department and Liu Dakun's department all had abnormal movements, and the direction was north.
"Moving north?" A Nan Wei's face suddenly rose with suspicion, and he quickly picked up the baton and walked to the map, drawing a circle on the map: "To the north, Jing'an, Yongxiu, Wuning, what is Jiang Haoran going to do, is it possible to prepare to attack Yongxiu and cut off the Nanxun line?" ”
Kinoshita Yong nodded and said: "I think it is completely possible, there is only the 13th Division on the Nanxun line, and nearly one brigade is trapped in Jiujiang by Jiang Haoran's toss, if they attack at this time, we can't even draw reinforcements." ”
"I don't think so, at least we still have the 15th Independent Mixed Brigade in Jing'an as the first line of defense, and there are also 34th Divisions in Xiushui, Tongshan, and Wuning, and they can also be reinforced at critical moments, I don't think Jiang Haoran's two divisions have a chance of winning?" Anan only a few.
Kinoshita Yong said: "Your Excellency Anan, don't be careless, if the national army uses a small part of its forces to contain Jing'an's independent mixed 15th Brigade, bypass Jing'an, and directly attack Yongxiu, and there is also the 75th Army of the national army on the periphery of Xiushui and Wuning, if they also take the opportunity to make trouble, the 34th Division can only protect itself." The strength of the two brigades on the Nanxun line is only afraid that they will not be able to stop Jiang Haoran's two divisions. ”
Changing any two divisions of the national army, Anan Wei was afraid that he would angrily reprimand Kinoshita for the enemy's ambition and destroy the prestige of the imperial army, but Jiang Haoran's two divisions also felt like a threat to him, if the 103rd Brigade of Jiujiang could also be put into the battlefield, Anan Weiji felt that the imperial army could be completely defeated, and he began to understand why Jiang Haoran was slow to enter Jiujiang, he was waiting for him here, if he hadn't known Jiang Haoran's wolf ambition in advance, he would have put all the troops of Jiujiang into the front line, and Jiang Haoran would have drawn his salary at the bottom of the kettle in the back, This conspiracy allowed him to succeed again.
Fortunately, the troops in Leping County, Fuzhou, and Yingtan showed no signs of action, and Jiang Haoran's purpose should not be in Nanchang, but Anan Weiji, for the sake of prudence, still ordered the Fifth Division in Jingdezhen to move closer to Nanchang. At the same time, the 18th Mixed Brigade in Wuhan was transferred to Yongxiu to ensure the safety of the Nanxun line.
In fact, deep down in his heart, he preferred to believe that all of Jiang Haoran's actions were just to mobilize Jiujiang's troops, and he was not attacking the Nanxun line.
Kinoshita Yong thought further, he felt that this matter should be reported to General Nishio Zao in Nanjing, and do a good job of preventing Jiang Haoran from attacking Nanchang, once it becomes a reality, he can let the 13th Army flank Quzhou at any time and force Jiang Haoran to retreat.
