Chapter 174: A Surprise
Jin Tao wants to catch a live Japanese royal family, which is not something that he thought about before coming.
Originally, Jin Tao planned to raid the headquarters of the Japanese occupation forces again, although since the last time he caught Major General Tsukada Tsukada, chief of staff of the Central China Front, the guard has been strengthened there. But if the Japanese occupation forces want to let go of the "war refugees" in Nanjing, at least those who are willing to leave everything and leave with the Chiyou army. Then some powerful hostages were the prerequisite for the Japanese occupation forces to allow them to leave, and at the same time, the premise for the Japanese occupation forces to ensure that they would not attack those foreign merchant ships.
How to make the people in the "Nanjing International Security Zone" leave safely has always been a pimple in Jin Tao's heart. And this time can't be delayed for too long, because the "Red Village Base" is now falling into the all-out encirclement and suppression of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army.
In the early stage of the operation, the first Japanese offensive was blocked because of the "lock-in" tactic. Subsequently, the commander of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant General and Division Commander Toshio Tani, immediately changed the mode of operation. He first attacked his subordinates, with fire for suppressive fire.
That was obviously not the way the Japanese Army, which admired the spirit of "bushido", was good at, but this method put more and more pressure on the Chiyou army on the mountain.
First of all, artillery and concentrated Type 92 heavy machine guns were used to carry out intensive suppressive fire on the predetermined area. In the process of clearing the field, the prepared Japanese troops launched a rapid charge, occupying the open space that had been cleared by artillery fire with few mines.
They then led to the use of sandbags to set up primary defensive positions, and at the same time to use all the machinery and men at the bottom of the hill and on the hill to dig covered trenches and connect them with bunkers made of sandbags. Eventually, the bunkers formed a fortified stronghold and controlled the surrounding passages with firepower.
Not only that, but they cleared a section of the woods when they attacked a section. Under the fire, axe slashing, and obstructive attacks of the Chiyou army, the activities of the Chiyou army ceased when the forest was cleared.
Under this step-by-step tactic, perhaps a rehearsal version of the future ironclad encirclement strategy, the area controlled by the Chiyou army is getting smaller and smaller. Although the main passage is still under the control of the Chiyou army. But what they were facing, after all, was the Japanese 6th Division.
It had tens of thousands of soldiers, and due to the large number of troops, it also had a solid supply channel in the rear. Therefore, the situation of the "Red Famous Village Base" on Tangshan is becoming more and more critical. Although in the most desperate situation, it is nothing more than blowing up the exit and leaving from the ropeway in the river below the mountain. But it also marked the end of the resistance of the Chiyou army in Nanjing, and the victory of the Japanese occupation forces.
The most important thing is that if such an outcome comes ahead of schedule, then how the Japanese army, which has no threat, will treat the survivors in the "Nanjing International Security Zone" is an unknown and poor prognosis.
For these reasons, attacking the commander of the occupying forces, General Matsui Ishine, the commander-in-chief, became the only option for Jin Tao and his Chiyou army.
But what he didn't expect was that King Hatohiko of Chaoxiang Palace actually sent it to the door. For Jin Tao, it was a pleasant surprise. But everything has to be fast, and if it is slow, it is a matter of hundreds of thousands of lives.
But in this surprise, there are hidden worries about the future. That is Yoshiko Kawashima, who is already convinced to be hidden in the "Jinling Women's Liberal Arts College". Originally, Jin Tao thought that maybe he could wake up one by one and find the agent. First, there is a lack of time, and secondly, if Yoshiko Kawashima is so easy to be caught, then it will not seem so mysterious in later records. So much so that her life and death have become a mystery, which has made people in later generations have different opinions.
On second thought, it wasn't a bad thing to know that there was Yoshiko Kawashima hiding nearby. As long as she doesn't invade the interior of the Chiyou Army, then it's not a big problem. She might be able to get some information about developments in the areas controlled by the Chiyou Army, but she might not have access to top-secret information. And if you can find her and make good use of it, then it will undoubtedly be the biggest advantage for Chi Youjun.
In World War II, in the contest between the Allies and the Axis spies, the battle between the double spies and the three spies was fierce and exciting. The Allies' use of intelligence was superior to that of the German army.
For example, the British code name "Garbo", and the Nazi code name "Alaric" Spanish double spy Juan. Phuket. GarcΓa (Joan Pujol GarcΓa) is one of the most mysterious and successful spies in history. He played 28 roles by himself, fabricated a completely non-existent world spy network out of thin air, and used the funds of the German intelligence agencies to support the development and operation of the British intelligence agencies.
With his help, the Allies succeeded in concentrating the Nazis on the Pas-de-Calais region in northern France, ensuring the success of the Normandy landings on June 6, 1944. Juan Phuket is the only person to have been awarded both the German Nazi Iron Cross and the Order of the British Empire.
It would be both a challenge and an opportunity to engage in such a gorgeous "spy dance" with Yoshiko Kawashima and her men. If it is properly controlled, it will be like "Garbo", using intelligence to give the Chiyou army a lot of beneficial effects in the confrontation with the Japanese army.
Having said that, when the Chiyou army arrived in Hainan, the expansion of the army was almost a certain thing. Once the army is expanded, then it will not be possible to prevent Yoshiko Kawashima or her men from trying to blend into the army. Although Jin Tao understands that in the future management of the army, the regulations on military secrets may play a certain role.
From this point of view, Jin Tao, who is completely mentally prepared, begins to look forward to dancing with Yoshiko Kawashima and her spies in an exciting "spy dance". At least from a technical point of view, Jin Tao already has the confidence to win.
Now that you are mentally prepared, it is time to enjoy this "surprise" in front of you. King Hatohiko of the Asakanomiya and General Matsui Ishone, the commander of the occupation forces, who were sent to the door, will be the bargaining chips to ensure the safe evacuation of the "war refugees" in Nanjing.
Jin Tao knows this period of history very well, General Matsui Ishine and King Hatohiko of Asaka Palace will be transferred back to China soon. At that time, they lost their usefulness, but now neither the Imperial Japanese Imperial Family nor the Imperial Japanese military would want these two high-ranking generals to fall into the hands of the Chiyou Army.
Although their lives are worth a lot, the strategic secrets they know and the truth about the "Nanjing Massacre" will bring the greatest losses to the Japanese military headquarters of the Japanese Empire. Based on this reason, Jin Tao believed that they would not hinder the departure of the "war refugees" in Nanjing, and that with the people who followed Chiyoujun, the education system based on the "Jinling Women's College of Arts and Sciences", and the industrial and international trade system based on Chanchen and foreign behavior, then there would be no more, and after three years, it would be impossible to tell who would be afraid of whom!
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ" Let's watch the first release of the literature network, please support genuine reading, support the author's creation of "Don't laugh and give birth to A group: 35761481; Email: [email protected].
Three years later, βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ the time of the Pacific War. It's only been two years, after all, it's already the beginning of 1938. If the Chiyou army develops well, there will be a force that is not too many, but quite elite. At that time, the Kuomintang participated in the Burma offensive and the entire Southeast Asian army was contested with the American army and the Japanese army, which would drag the entire South Seas into the war.
For Chi Youjun, it was both a danger and an opportunity.
At the same time, another psychological preparation that Jin Tao made was that in the city of Nanjing, his enemies and friends were clear at a glance. They were almost 100 percent friends in the "Nanjing International Security Zone," and the Japanese troops outside the security zone did not need to ask, they were 100 percent enemies.
Then when he arrives on Hainan Island, the local warlords, the Nationalist government, and other forces in the country, as well as dealings with various foreign forces, will make the whole world complicated and difficult to argue, which will be a very serious consideration for Jin Tao. Because in Nanjing, he was a tactical commander. And there, it's the person in charge of an army and an industrial system or even the development of a city or a region.
"Damn, abominable little Japan. If it weren't for you, Lao Tzu would have traveled somewhere to be a rich man and enjoy life. Look at what I asked you to toss Lao Tzu, I can't do it without giving you some cruelty! β
Thinking about the threats he will face in the present and future, the hatred for the little devil becomes more and more serious in Jin Tao's heart.
"Birds call, squad in place, over!"
"Grasshopper call, squad in place, over!"
These code names are abbreviations. And it's a tactical call sign. For example, Zhao Deyi's official call sign is "YZ11", representing Zhao Deyi, the captain of the first team of the safari team.
"Great Heavenly King, action, end!"
Jin Tao never reported his call sign, and his official call sign was "Hades", which was also derived from his nickname. The call sign he just said is the "tactical call sign" of every battle, and when there are staff officers in the future, this is also the matter of the staff officers who draw up the battle plan. At the moment, the Chiyou Army does not have a staff department, and of course the plan has to be formulated by the officers themselves.
At this moment, Jin Tao is opposite the "Jinling Women's College of Arts and Sciences", which was originally used as a grain depot, but later because of the death of a small team of ghost soldiers, and because of the observance of the agreement with the Chiyou army, it was abandoned on the wall near the building. He just leaned on the wall like that, and it felt like a big boil had grown on the wall.
It's just that this boil is about to break, because as soon as it comes to action, Jin Tao really starts to act immediately.
In front of him were Japanese soldiers with bayonets in their hands, deployed for the safety of King Hatohiko of Asakanomiya. They surrounded the entire "Jinling Women's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences", with three steps and one post, and five steps and one sentry. It's a pity that they didn't fight against the Chiyou army, because they didn't understand the Chiyou army's combat methods, because they didn't deploy machine guns and grenadiers.
In the face of the cunning and insidious Chiyou army, if they do not use absolute superiority of troops and firepower to carry out a suppressive attack, then their means of rapid intersperse, multi-way assault, and silent attack will make any regular army fall into complete chaos in an instant.
Ignorance is ignorance, no matter how fearless, waiting for them to end up with only death!
