Chapter 154: Apache Strikes Again
In fact, Wei Qidong is not worried about what those white-skinned pigs in the West can get from him, nor is he afraid of their threat of force, but is more worried that these guys will put pressure on the government, so as to use the energy of the government to squeeze the value of Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć After all, the government still relies on these Western powers a lot of the time.
Of course, at the moment, the value of Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi is definitely much stronger than that of these Western powers, which is really exchanged for military achievements and military exploits. Since the Western powers had not yet been involved in the war, they did not really need China to help them contain the Japanese for the time being, so they turned a blind eye to China's affairs and even took the opportunity to fall into the ground.
At this moment, as long as Commissar Chiang is not stupid, it should be impossible to do something to betray him Wei Qidong to curry favor with these powers. As for the changes in the world situation in the future, how Chairman Chiang will correct his position as Wei Qidong and the other great powers can only be left to later.
Since Wei Qidong knew the stakes and made a decision, Tang Xinyi stopped persuading, after all, the Chinese side was already in a weak position, and if there were too many scruples, it would be even more difficult to succeed.
Immediately, Wei Qidong told some of his ideas to Nanjing, and Chairman Chiang agreed without much consideration, because he still trusted Wei Qidong's tactical ability very much. Chairman Chiang asked Wei Qidong how many people he needed to cooperate, and Wei Qidong only put forward a request of less than 500 people. After all, although the Sixing warehouse covers a large area, there are not many positions that need to be defended, and the number of people is too large, so it is not easy to sneak in.
Wei Qidong's plan was simple, he and Tang Xinyi were responsible for eliminating the Japanese defenders at the Sixing warehouse and blocking the approach of reinforcements, while the hundreds of Chinese troops in charge of cooperation went ashore through the Suzhou Creek and then took over the defense of the Sixing warehouse. Even, Wei Qidong didn't need any weapons for these troops to bring, and tried to travel as lightly as possible.
After this tactic was passed, it quickly went down to Chen Cheng's side, and Chen Cheng immediately drew out a reinforced battalion, which was a battalion under the command of the elite 88th Division. A reinforced battalion formed with the first battalion of the 524th Regiment where Xie Jinyuan was located, with a total of 495 people. It was led by Xie Jinyuan, deputy of the lieutenant colonel regiment, deputy Shangguan Zhibiao of the major regiment, and Yang Ruifu, commander of the battalion of the major.
When Commander Xie Jinyuan received the order, he did not hesitate, and immediately sorted out the team and stood by at any time.
On the night of November 16, Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi drove the viper and disappeared into the night sky again, reconnoitring along the way. Although the Japanese army basically occupied Shanghai in name at present, most of their troops were still held back by Chen Cheng's troops, and in terms of time and the number of remaining troops, it was not enough for the Japanese army to do such a meticulous defense of Shanghai at once.
Without spending much effort, Wei Qidong sketched out a good interspersed route, and then informed the line to Head Xie Jinyuan by telegram. After receiving the order to cooperate with Wei Qidong, Regiment Commander Xie no longer thought about anything else, but kept waiting for the news, and after getting the accurate news, he did not delay at all, and directly led the team to action.
Taking advantage of the night, the lightly armed team marched quickly, and in order to ensure that Captain Xie's team could penetrate successfully, Viper had been reconnoitring at high altitude in case of other unexpected situations.
Shanghai is in ruins, and the Japanese army would not have thought that there was a small force doing the interspersed mission, I am afraid that even if they knew, they would not care too much, after all, with the current war situation, the small force could not change anything at all, except for the duo of Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi.
The viper has been sending Captain Xie's team to the Suzhou Creek, and this ferry is less than two kilometers away from the Sihang Warehouse by water, which is very suitable for Captain Xie and their intersperse. When Commander Xie led the team to arrive, he found that dozens of small boats had been parked by the river, and he didn't have to think about it, he should have prepared them in advance.
The help of some chambers of commerce and patriots in Shanghai was indispensable for the preparation of these small boats so quickly, and the help of people from all walks of life in Shanghai during the entire Battle of Songhu should not be underestimated, and every exploit of the Chinese army had their share of credit.
"Alert, board the ship......" Regiment Commander Xie Jinyuan immediately ordered.
The well-trained team quickly took position, the vigilant guard, the boarder quickly boarded, a boat was full, immediately rowed forward, and the warriors behind did the same in an orderly manner. After all the fighters had boarded the ship, in order to prevent the action from being exposed in advance, the whole team did not use lights, and the soldiers tried not to make any sound, except for the sound of the slurry stirring the water.
After secretly escorting the team to less than a kilometer or so, the viper quickly found a position to land. After the viper landed, Wei Qidong immediately put it away, while Tang Xinyi hurriedly took out the Apache. Apache has been repairing and maintaining for a while since her last injury, and tonight, it's time for her to do it again.
In fact, the sound of the Apache rising into the air alarmed some people in the distance, including the Japanese soldiers, but after they rushed over to inspect it, there was already nothing. During the war, any strange sound could be heard, so this Japanese army didn't take it seriously, and didn't think about Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi at all.
Apache streaked through the air and headed in the direction of the Four Rows of Warehouses. The Japanese army also installed searchlights on the outer walls of the warehouses to illuminate several streets such as Suzhou North Road and Xizang Road.
In order to draw a clear line with the concession, the Japanese army completely sealed all the windows and gates south of the Sihang Warehouse with concrete, and the streets and buildings damaged by the war, such as Suzhou North Road and Xizang Road, were cleared. Therefore, the current Sihang warehouse is almost accessible in all directions, backed by Suzhou Creek, and the other three sides are empty within a few hundred meters.
Before the Apache appeared in the sky above the Sixing warehouse, the Japanese army was still loading and unloading supplies here, and transport trucks transported large quantities of supplies here for storage. Seeing the actions of the Japanese army, Wei Qidong thought about it and postponed the attack, because he guessed that there would definitely be a large amount of ammunition in these materials, and it would definitely be detonated under the blow, and at that time, I was afraid that a large amount of wreckage would accumulate in front of the Sixing Warehouse, which would have some impact on the defense.
Fortunately, before Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi appeared, the Japanese army had almost loaded and unloaded, and they did not make the two wait for a long time.
Just after the Japanese convoy left for more than ten minutes, the Apache suddenly descended rapidly from a high altitude, and then went diagonally through the gate of the four rows of warehouses at the fastest speed.
