Chapter 26 Explosion at an Oil Depot
With Okamura's care, the Japanese military intelligence department in Zhengzhou took the initiative to investigate the case. The devil's spies and spies are quite good at solving the case, and in less than half a day, they investigated the culprit who did this case: it was the case done by the reconnaissance unit of the 88th column of the Huanggang Temple Death Army!
Good you group of Chinese, I don't beat you, you dare to hurt me? Ishikawa Ryuichi, who knew who the murderer was, couldn't sit still for a while, this guy picked up the phone and called the division commander: Ask the soldiers to send Huanggang Temple, level the Chinese defenders, and avenge the Japanese officers and soldiers who were killed!
It is no wonder that General Ishikawa was so angry, almost all the Japanese officers and soldiers killed and wounded this time were the backbone officers of his brigade, or at least the generals he favored. Forty-one dead and wounded, if all of them had taken their troops to the battlefield, how many battles would they have won? Ishikawa Ryuichi was worried about his own safety, but he also felt sorry for the dead and wounded generals.
Commander Okamura has personally taken care of things, can the division commander stop them? Of course not. However, there is a limit to support. It's okay to send troops, but you can't go all of your brigades, and the urban area of Zhengzhou also needs troops to defend. You can send a wing over, at most, plus an artillery squadron. More words are absolutely not allowed!
The brigade commander was carried away by anger and thought about revenge, and the division commander had to think about the problem more comprehensively. The enemy near them is not only a Third Army, Tang Enbo's great enemy of the Imperial Army's Tianzi No. 1 is not far from here! If the troops in the city were empty and Tang Enbo was brought in, it would be a bad thing!
Ryuichi Ishikawa hung up the phone and began to select troops with a snort. He wants to pick a wing with the strongest combat effectiveness to go to Huanggang Temple, and he wants to beat the Chinese defenders of Huanggang Temple to a loss!
With only two wings under the jurisdiction of a brigade, the question of choosing one of the two may seem simple, but General Ishikawa clearly did not want to do such a simple either-two question. He likes to make simple problems complicated, and it seems that this is the only way to show the high level of command of his brigade commander.
Dismantling the wing and breaking up the brigade, if it weren't for the fact that it would affect the cohesion of the troops, General Ishikawa simply wanted to pick people one by one and re-form a wing with super combat effectiveness to pull them into the battlefield!
Although he had already considered the issue of cohesion, the cohesion of the regrouped wing, which was reorganized as a squadron, was very different from the original unit. Ishikawa Ryuichi, who is known as a command expert, was negligent in this point, so it is no wonder that he was defeated in the subsequent campaign.
"Kobayashi-kun, please be careful." Before leaving, Ishikawa said goodbye to his hand-picked warrior, Kobayashi Koji.
"Hey, please rest assured general, Xiao Lin must have captured the murderer alive and handed it over to the general!" Kobayashi Koji raised his hand to salute and made a promise at the same time.
When the Kobayashi team was about to start, the ground suddenly shook, and almost at the same time a muffled sound followed, as if there was an unpleasant smell of fuel in the air. Kobayashi Koji and Ishikawa Ryuichi looked at each other, and both of them had a look of horror on their faces. What's going on again?
"Kobayashi-kun, please wait a moment." It was loud and vibrating, and Ishikawa Ryuichi didn't dare to let the Kobayashi team go. Kobayashi Koji naturally obeyed his fate, and he also wanted to know where the noise and vibration came from.
The two of them were waiting in place, accompanied by the two thousand Japanese troops of the Kobayashi Wing. Ten minutes later, the signal corps came with the news that a Japanese oil depot near the railway station had exploded, and it was estimated that more than 500 people were killed in the oil depot and the nearby Japanese puppet army!
Fuel depots? Kobayashi Koji looked at the brigade commander in surprise, and Ishikawa Ryuichi was also full of shock. "Why did the oil depot explode? Was it a security incident or was it sabotage? The commander of the Ishikawa Brigade asked this sentence casually, and he couldn't help but gasp after asking. Who would deliberately sabotage oil depots? Could it be that it is still the bold 88th column?
Ishikawa Ryuichi really guessed correctly, the oil depot was really done by Hu Fei and his people! After attacking Ishikawa Ryuichi's brigade headquarters, he should have gone back, but Hu Fei always felt a little unwilling to fall into the benefits this time. Where can I get something to bring back?
Hu Fei knows that Zhengzhou is a major railway hub in the country, and the two railway arteries of Pinghan Line and Longhai Line are at the intersection of Zhengzhou. As you can imagine, the vicinity of the train station must be the most prosperous and most crowded place. There must be the most devils in that place, if you want to find a bargain, go to the train station!
With the psychology of looking for cheap, Hu Fei took Cheng Laogang and others to the train station. As a result, when I got there, I was disappointed, and the Zhengzhou Railway Station, which should have been very lively, seemed deserted. It's not that there is no one, except for the devils who come and go at the train station, is a traitor, can he be lively without ordinary people?
Is there something you can get from the train? Looking at the train station in front of him, Hu Fei had a crooked idea in his heart. Before he could figure out how to pick up the train, a scout came to report that there was a Japanese oil depot northwest of the train station.
This year's fuel is a treasure. In 1941, our country had not yet discovered any oil fields, and all the fuel oil in the country had to be imported, and the fuel sold to us by the European and American powers was ridiculously expensive. China's fuel is expensive, Japan's fuel is not cheap either, and there are no oil fields on the four islands of Toei!
It can be said that any oil depot is the treasure of the hearts and minds of the Japanese, and its value is no less than that of a large arms warehouse! Besides, can there be nothing good in the oil warehouse? To put it more vulgarly, can you have no money?
Passing by Baoshan and not returning empty-handed, Hu Fei led the people to the oil warehouse near the train station. As a result, the devils in the oil depot were easily leveled out there. The oil depot is heavy, and no one dares to shoot. The big guys fight with knives, who can fight Hu Fei, Zhang Yayi, Huo Qinglong, Wang Hong, Yang Xiaowu, a group of martial arts masters?
Scouts and plainclothes teams swarmed up, and several masters took the lead, and in a few minutes, the enemy in the oil depot was cleared of the enemy. A search of the reservoir area revealed a number of money. The devils in the oil depot are much richer than the devils in ordinary combat units, and Hu Fei finally didn't run in vain this time.
The money was robbed and people were killed, and before retreating, Hu Fei made a simple time bomb and blew up the oil depot to the sky at once.
He happily withdrew after finishing his errands, but the devil jumped to his feet.
