Chapter 52: War Breaks Out
The young officer said, "This is an opportunity, but it's too dangerous for me to do it." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Naruhito Watanabe said, "You have served the Japanese Empire, and you have a great golden ticket. Otherwise. He snorted softly through his nose.
Asami pulled out his katana and cut off a pine tree the thickness of a forearm with a single sword.
The young officer was forced to accede to their request. He agreed on a plan of action with Naruhito Watanabe and others, and left with 5 large yellow croakers. Soon after, he appeared in a secret stronghold of the Renaissance Society.
As soon as Li Han saw the young officer, he said, "Brother Xia, what's the situation?" ”
Xia Chao smiled and took out 5 yellow gold bars and said, "It's done." Tomorrow morning, fortification No. 4 outside the central gate. ”
Xia Chao handed over the gold bar in his hand to Li Han. Li Han pushed it back with his hand and said, "Boss Dai has ordered, these are what you deserve, and besides, this time, there will be a reward for the Fuxing Society." ”
Xia Chao was not polite and handed over the gold bar to Xu Feihu.
The next morning, outside the central gate of Nanjing.
The No. 4 fortification of Nanjing City Defense Fortification is located on a sloping land, with an open field to the west and mountains and forests on the other three sides.
Naruhito Watanabe led a 10-man assault team, armed with German-made 20-round shell guns, quietly moved from the side of the woods to fortifications No. 4, and when he reached fortifications No. 4, he spotted the people of the Renaissance Society who were pouting and ambushing in front of him, and he believed the accuracy of the information provided by the young officer.
Xia Chao, accompanied by several officers and soldiers of the garrison, was pointing there with a drawing.
Suddenly, a burst of gunfire rang out from the north, and the people of the Fuxing Society and the Black Dragon Society led by Isoya Koaki exchanged fire. Then, the people of the Funashi Society who were ambushing in the east were also attacked by Naruhito Watanabe. Fierce fighting began.
Xia Chao was left with only a few agents of the Fuxing Society who were officers and soldiers in the garrison area of the city in disguise, and they saw that the people of the Fuxing Society in the north were tight, so they divided two people to support, and Xia Chao was left with only two spies left.
Suddenly, a shot rang out not far away, killing one agent, and then, Asami jumped out and slashed another agent to death.
Araki Kikuko rushed over and knocked the already "scared stupid" Xia Chao unconscious with one palm, snatching the drawings from his hand. She put her fingers in her mouth as she ran and whistled.
Naruhito Watanabe heard the whistle and knew that Kikuko Araki had succeeded, and immediately ordered a retreat. At this time, there were only 5 of his men left, and when he fled, he was killed by two more.
The battle is over. Xu Feihu, Bergman and two German snipers found Xia Chao, who was still lying there and was carried away by Xu Feihu and others.
After getting into the car, Xia Chao sat up with a smile and said, "Damn, that female devil's hand strength is not small, and Lao Tzu is really a little painful." ”
Xu Feihu said happily: "Brother Tian, this time I have a good time, I killed at least 3 Japanese." ”
Back at the Nanjing Station of the Fuxing Society, Li Han said happily: "This time, a total of 14 Japanese were killed. Immediately, he said bitterly: "It's a pity that 11 brothers in our station have also died. ”
Soon, he perked up and said, "Anyway, I finally let the Japanese snatch the drawings, and it was a great achievement." ”
Xia Chao's plan was to let the Japanese snatch the fake drawings and cut off their idea of snatching the drawings again.
Watanabe Naruhito was also very happy, although the loss was a little bigger this time, a total of 22 people came, and only 8 came back, and even Isoya Koaki folded in. However, the large loss just shows the value of the drawings. Moreover, the dead are all members of the Black Dragon Society. It's your own business.
Ying Zuo Zhenzhao got the drawings of the Nanjing city defense project and was very happy. In this plan, the Nationalist army did not know that the drawings obtained by the Japanese were true. Therefore, they will not adjust the fortifications of the city.
In this way, the drawings of the Nanjing city defense project obtained by the Japanese were fake, so they suffered a big loss in the subsequent Nanjing offensive and defensive battles.
After finishing this matter, Xia Chao put all his energy into the training of the General Mountain Special Combat Team.
After a period of training, Xia Chao has tried his best to prepare for it.
In the blink of an eye, the hands of time were on July 7, 1937.
On the afternoon of July 7, 1937, the 8th Squadron of the 3rd Brigade of the 1st Wing of the Japanese North China Garrison Army, led by Captain Setsuro Shimizu, drove to the area between Huilongmiao and Dayao, which was close to the Chinese garrison at Lugou Bridge.
At 7:30 p.m., the Japanese army began the exercise. At 10:40 p.m., the Japanese army claimed that gunshots had been heard in the exercise area and that a soldier (Kikujiro Shimura) was "missing", and immediately forcibly asked to enter Wanping City, the garrison of the Chinese garrison, to search, but the 219th Regiment of the 110th Brigade of the 37th Division of the 29th Chinese Army sternly refused. On the one hand, the Japanese army deployed for battle, and on the other hand, under the pretext of "gunfire" and the "disappearance" of soldiers, they pretended to negotiate with the Chinese side.
At around 24 o'clock, the Hebei inspection authorities received a telephone call from Matsui Taikuro, director of the Japanese secret service in Beiping. Matsui said: The Japanese army performed on the outskirts of Lugou Bridge yesterday? Xi, when he suddenly heard the sound of gunshots, immediately collected the team and took a roll call, and found that there was a lack of soldiers, and it was suspected that the person who released the gun was the Chinese army stationed in Lugouqiao, and thought that the soldier who released the gun had entered the city, and demanded to enter the city immediately to search.
The Chinese side refused to allow Japanese troops to enter the city in the middle of the night, which might cause local unrest, and that Chinese officers and soldiers were sleeping soundly and that the gunfire was not fired by the Chinese side. Soon after, Matsui called the Jicha authorities again and said that if the Chinese side did not allow it, the Japanese army would forcibly enter the city by force to search it. At the same time, the Jicha authorities received a report from the Chinese defenders at Lugou Bridge that the Japanese army had formed an encirclement and offensive posture against Wanping City.
In order to prevent the situation from escalating, the procuratorial authorities agreed to coordinate the dispatch of personnel to Lugou Bridge to investigate after consultation with the Japanese side. At this time, the Japanese side claimed that the "missing" soldiers had returned to the team, but they did not report it. At around 5 o'clock in the morning of July 8, the Japanese army suddenly launched an artillery bombardment.
The command of the 29th Chinese Army immediately ordered the officers and men of the front: "Ensure the Lugou Bridge and Wanping City", "The Lugou Bridge is the tomb of Er, and it should live and die with the bridge and not retreat." "The 3rd Battalion of the 219th Regiment, which guarded Lugou Bridge and Wanping City, rose up to resist under the command of regiment commander Ji Xingwen and battalion commander Jin Zhenzhong.
The all-out war of resistance has finally begun.
That night, Xia Chao was a little uneasy, he didn't know if history could accurately follow the original trajectory. The wait was the most torturous, and he simply went to Bergman's room and chatted with him.
Bergman was tall, with a square face, somewhat emaciated, deep-set eye sockets, and a hooked nose. He is a typical German soldier, with a solid and rigorous style, and even his usual conversation and demeanor are very serious. Xia Chao rarely saw him laugh, and the jokes had nothing to do with him, and his existence seemed to be for work.
Summer Chao opened a bottle of red wine he had brought and poured two glasses. Bergman was handed a glass.
At this time, the wind was blowing outside, the wooden door of the room creaked, and Xia Chao said, "The peaceful days are coming to an end." ”
