Chapter 114: Turning the Tiger Away from the Mountain
At the headquarters of the Chongqing Military Command Bureau, Mao Renfeng was hit repeatedly, and the Shanghai Military Command Station was once again defeated by Li Shiqun! In the first two annihilations, the third column has not suffered major losses, and it can replenish personnel and provide logistical material support for the Shanghai station at any time. And this time the third column lost more than half, and the remaining remnants were also more than lucky!
Zhou Chengbin's life was on the verge of death, Sun Wenkai was killed in battle, Meng Xiaojie and others were forced to evacuate, Yang Shuang was arrested and his whereabouts are unknown, Li Zhiyong and Ruan Bo mutinied, and there was no news of No. 86 and Shenpin. Shanghai Station was completely paralyzed. Zhou Chengbin, Zhou Chengbin, you disappointed me so much.
Greater Shanghai is a battleground for information warfare, and we must not give up on this. He told Secretary Wang to immediately go to the Ministry of National Defense to ask for assistance, and ordered: "Tell Guo Xuan to come to see me immediately." β
Guo Xuan, who was teaching a senior professional class in telecommunications, received an order to temporarily suspend the lecture and hurried over. Mao Renfeng handed over the two secret telegrams sent by Dai Ru and Zhou Chengbin to him, Guo Xuan looked at it, his expression changed, how could the situation be so bad?
Mao Renfeng did not hide it from Guo Xuan: "A few days ago, the Shanghai Station successfully assassinated Hideo Fukuda and successfully completed the God of Wealth operation, but I didn't expect the form to take a sharp turn in a few days, until today's uncontrollable. Zhou Chengbin is to blame! However, to punish him, it must also be placed in the second step, and the most urgent task at present is to find a way to give the third column some substantive support. β
Regarding Mao Renfeng's statement that he would save people first and then deal with them, Guo Xuan agreed very much, and nodded again and again: "Yes, save people first, and then talk about it later." But far water can't quench the thirst of the near...... We can't reach it. β
Secretary Wang also rushed back from the Ministry of National Defense: "Mr. Mao, the Ministry of Defense has learned that the Japanese have dispatched a brigade to assist the Japanese in encircling and suppressing the 79th Regiment of the 47th Division of the Peace Salvation Army, which is an integrated regiment and the main force of the 47th Division of the Wang Puppet Army. There was also part of the ninety-third regiment of the division. The nearest national army to this 47th Division was the 89th Army under the command of Commander Han. Minister Gu of the Ministry of National Defense said that he would give them full support for what he needed. β
Mao Renfeng was very satisfied, he understood that Chief Gu gave the military commander face like this, or because the God of Wealth planned not long ago to give the military commander a face in front of the principal. He continued: "From the last secret telegram sent by Zhou Chengbin, we can know that Ruan Bo rebelled, and No. 76 participated in the encirclement and suppression. As an intelligence department, since it is involved in the encirclement and suppression of field troops, it will not be for the sake of making up numbers. The Japanese are not short of manpower, and there is no need to use the professional agents of No. 76 as ordinary soldiers. β
Knowing the predicament of Zhou Chengbin and the Shanghai station, Guo Xuan was worried, and he asked: "What does Mr. Mao mean is No. 76 TongguΓ², trying to transfer the tiger away from the mountain?" β
"Guo Xuan, you, the biggest advantage is that you are smart, and the biggest disadvantage is also smart. No. 76 and you are old rivals, how can you mislead Wang Pseudo's 47th Division and make them think that Chief Han's 89th Army has set out to destroy them, it's up to you. As long as the 79th and 93rd regiments of the 47th Division are transferred back, a Japanese brigade has a limited number of troops, and the third column of our military command is familiar with the terrain and has experience in guerrilla warfare, and it may be able to escape the catastrophe. β
Guo Xuan replied: "That is to say, if we can mislead Ying Zuo Zhenzhao and make him think that Commander Han's 89th Army had set off a day ago and was preparing to attack the 47th Division, if Wang's puppet 47th Division did not urgently transfer the 79th and 93rd regiments of the headquarters back to defense, not only the division headquarters and another regiment of this division might be wiped out, but also the defense system of the Japanese puppet Suzhou-Hangzhou-Jiahu generation would also suffer a heavy blow." The Japanese may fall for the trick and turn the tiger away from the mountain. β
Mao Renfeng said to Secretary Wang again: "You understand well. Secretary Wang, you go to the Ministry of Defense again, ask Chief Gu to help, and order the 89th Army to send a small force to make a feint. β
Secretary Wang took the order and left. Guo Xuan lowered his head and thought, and Mao Renfeng waited patiently. After a few minutes, Guo Xuan replied, "I'm not sure, so I can only try my best." β
Mao Renfeng was not surprised by this reply, nor was he disappointed. With his understanding of Guo Xuan, as long as he agrees to give it a try, he should have a fifty percent hope. Besides, this person has a close personal relationship with Zhou Chengbin, and he will go all out. He thought of another question: "Zhou Chengbin said in the telegram that Ruan Bo had defected, and last time I heard your report: After the impulsive killing of No. 86, you ordered Ruan Bo to cover the aftermath and end this matter, will No. 86 be in danger?" β
Guo Xuan replied very firmly: "No, according to the latent discipline, the identity of the undercover agent is involved, the fewer people who know, the better, my statement to Ruan Bo is because Yamaki Ryuzo captured Zhou Chengbin, so I did my own work to get rid of him, but I didn't expect to mistakenly kill Yamaki Ryuzo's wife and a Japanese gendarme I don't know." Unwilling to let No. 76 investigate the matter, ask him to try to cover up. β
Mao Renfeng let go of half of his heart: "That's fine." You go get busy. β
At 6 p.m. on 11 March, the No. 76 Telegraph Office, which had been closely monitoring the telecommunications of the Third Column of the Military Command, intercepted a secret telegram sent by the headquarters of the Chongqing Military Command Bureau to the Third Column.
This secret telegram was transferred to Li Shiqun, and he didn't see anything, and before Ying Zuo Zhenzhao set out to suppress it, he demanded that any movement of the third column must be transmitted to him immediately at the first time. Li Shiqun ordered Director Wen of the Telecommunications Department: "Transfer it to General Yingzuo and continue to monitor." β
In the temporary headquarters of Ying Zuo Zhenzhao, Liao Tao and the regiment commander were reporting to him on the battle situation: "Nearly 100 members of the third column of the military command who tried to break through from the south were killed and wounded, and 12 were captured. The rest of the fish slipped through the net, I suspect hiding in the swamp. Now it's raining heavily, and I can't go in and search for it yet. β
"How is the interrogation of prisoners of war going?"
Liao Taohe sighed regretfully: "The interrogation is still ongoing. However, the prisoners of war confessed that the 3rd Squadron did not act with Zhou Chengbin. Before moving to this station, Zhou Chengbin dismissed the 3rd Squadron. A man surnamed Dai sent by Chongqing ran from the east with a squadron. We didn't estimate that. At present, Matsuoka Jiro Nakasa is pursuing Dai Ruyi, who has fled eastward. β
The subordinate came in and reported: "General, the intercepted secret telegram transmitted on the 76th was sent to Zhou Chengbin by the headquarters of the Chongqing Military Command Bureau. Captain Tian and Yamaki Ryu of No. 76 arrived in a hurry. β
Kagesa Zhenzhao took the secret telegram and ordered as he looked at it, "Please invite Captain Tian and Yamaki-kun to come in." β
Tian Chengxi and Shan Mu Long were ordered to arrive, and in the heavy rain, the two of them were almost soaked. Ying Zuo Zhenzhao handed over the telegram and said, "It's just right to come, Director Li ordered someone to transfer it on No. 76, you can also take a look." Didn't Secretary Ni come along? β
Tian Chengxi took the telegram with both hands, and Yamaki Ryuzo replied: "The subordinates contacted Secretary Ni, and he said that his current location was a possible place for the enemy to break through here, and he decided to intercept it with two subordinates there. If the general had something to do, his subordinates immediately ordered him to come over. β
Kagezo Zhenzhao has a good impression of this Ni Xin, whom Ono Heiichiro strongly recommended to him, although he has bumped into himself in person, he doesn't pay too much attention to it. This time, Ni Xin followed Ruan Bo and found the location of the third column, which also made him very satisfied. Since Ni Xin said that he wanted to intercept there, he also had his reasons to come, so let him go. He shook his head: "There's no need for this, and there is no shortage of his people here." What do you think of this telegram? β
After reading the telegram, Tian Chengxi handed it to Ryuzo Yamaki. After the two of them looked at it, Tian Chengxi replied: "My subordinates have always been engaged in intelligence work, and they don't know much about field troops, so they don't dare to speak up. And there are too few places where this telegram has been deciphered. Judging from these limited words, it seems that Chongqing's army in northern Jiangsu has made some moves. It is not surprising that the various forces in northern Jiangsu are intertwined, and if we can enter the third column, the opponent will of course also take action. However, what his subordinates couldn't figure out was that such a telegram should be sent by the Ministry of Defense in Chongqing to the 89th Army, how could it be sent by the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau to the third column under the jurisdiction of Zhou Chengbin? Could it be that he was suing him for reinforcements? β
What Tian Chengxi said was also the doubt in Ying Zuo Zhenzhao's heart, and before he could speak, Liao Taohe came in again and reported: "General, our 47th Division Commander Chen sent you a telegram. β
Ying Zuo Zhenzhao took it and looked at it, and the telegram read: "General Ying Zuo Jun Jian: In recent days, it has been discovered that a small unit of the 89th Army in Chongqing is roaming near the headquarters of the headquarters, and after comprehensive analysis of all aspects of intelligence, it is suspected that it is the vanguard reconnaissance force before the raid of the large army. The 79th Regiment and the 93rd Regiment under the jurisdiction of the general's personal commander commanded the attack, and the soldiers pointed out that they must have leveled the enemy in the area. In order to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the emptiness of the headquarters, the surprise attack was successful. Please ask the general to order the 79th and 93rd regiments of the division to return to the division. β
Ying Zuo Zhenzhao didn't speak, he thought in his heart: Zhou Chengbin dismissed the third squadron, and the number of the other two squadrons should be about three hundred, and the number of killed and wounded plus those captured was one hundred and fifty. Coupled with the fact that the whereabouts are unknown, the casualties are not found and the bodies cannot be counted, and those who have fled and deserted, this unit of the military command is basically incapacitated. If the 47th Division was attacked by surprise, wouldn't it be detrimental to its own great military exploits? But what is the name of Dai Ru, Zhou Chengbin has not been caught, this person is the henchman of the Japanese Imperial Army, and he is also his most dangerous opponent, remembering that he was repeatedly humiliated by Zhou Chengbin, Ying Zuozhen Zhao gritted his teeth and hated him, if he didn't get rid of him, he was really unwilling!
Tian Chengxi and Shan Mulong had nothing to do with themselves, and stood quietly on the side. Liao Taohe said: "General, the rain outside will not stop for a while. When the rain stopped, it would take another two days for the large army to search the swamp. The humble opinion of his subordinates: Carrying out the task of searching for the remnants of the enemy, the number of people is not many. It is better to fence off this swamp first, form dozens of small teams, and wait for the rain to stop and carry out a grate-style search. Zhou Chengbin and the other remnants of the enemy will definitely be captured. β
Ying Zuo Zhenzhao was moved by what he said, and made up his mind: "It's okay, Commander Liao, you send a reinforced company of elite soldiers to me, and hand it over to Captain Tian and Team Leader Yamamu, and they will immediately start to form a small team, and when the rain stops and the swamp is slightly dry, carry out the search mission." You take the rest of the people back to the formation of the 47th Division, and also inform the 93rd Regiment to go back together, there is a brigade led by Matsuoka Jiro, which should be enough. Commander Liao has contributed a lot to this raid, and Ying Zuo will ask for credit for you afterwards. β
Commander Liao respectfully gave a military salute and replied immediately: "Thank you for the general's support and cultivation, my subordinates are willing to serve the Japanese Empire." The subordinates then handed over the regimental guard company to the command of Captain Tian. The subordinates believed that the general would be able to fulfill his wish and capture the bandit leader Zhou Chengbin alive. β
