Chapter 45 Strategizing
An hour later, Captain Kogi caught up with Fujiwara Kaede, looking at the sweat and blood on the assistant's face, and then at the soldiers behind him who also had more or less scars on their bodies, Fujiwara Kaede couldn't help frowning.
"The enemy laid mines on the road, and one of the soldiers I brought with me was seriously injured and two were lightly wounded."
Captain Kogi took a step forward and handed over a paper bag specially collected by the intelligence department at the scene to Fujiwara Kaede, who accepted the task and led everyone to rush to the front, with injuries all over his body, and a few pieces of shrapnel embedded in his body, but he was able to personally carry the seriously injured soldiers on his back to catch up with the iron-blooded soldiers of the large army, facing his commander, he lowered his head sharply, and shouted: "As an intelligence officer, I can't maintain a calm attitude, it's because of my greed for merit that my subordinates are injured, I'm sorry I didn't do the task you gave me! ”
"No, you're doing a great job! The troops you led paid the price, but they bought us time for the whole operation. And most of your injuries are concentrated behind you, which in itself shows that you were at the forefront of the action, and I am proud that the Empire has such a brave soldier as you! ”
Looking at this subordinate who was scarred but still had a body like a javelin, Fujiwara Kaede shouted: "Now, please raise your head, because a warrior who has not made mistakes does not need to bow his head!" ”
Hearing Fujiwara Kaede's words, Captain Kogi Huo Ran raised his head and met Fujiwara Kaede's sparkling eyes, and Captain Kogi's eyes also lit up.
Fujiwara Kaede opened the paper bag in his hand, and after a brief inspection, he said in a deep voice: "Xiao Mujun, like me, you are an excellent student who graduated from the Imperial Army Academy, I believe in my alma mater, and I also believe in your vision. If you can collect these shrapnel after being injured in the middle of the ambush, it means that you have your own judgment and tell us your opinion! ”
"Yes!"
Captain Kogi puffed up his chest and said quickly: "The shrapnel I collected from the scene is divided into two types, one is the Type 91 grenade produced by our Emperor [***] factory, and the other is the mine manufactured by the Shina Military Factory. And all the signs left from the blasting point at the scene indicate that the enemy is likely to have tied two Type 91 grenades and a mine together! ”
"When I was collecting shrapnel from a mine, I found that the mine's projectile casting process was very backward, and I could break the shrapnel in half with both hands. Because of this, the explosive power of this mine is far from the standard of conventional fragmentation mines, and frankly speaking, I personally believe that the weapons that cause real damage to us are still those two 91-type grenades produced by our emperor [***] factory! Also, although since the Meiji Restoration, the empire has become an industrial country in the fields of science and technology, economy, politics, and military, greatly surpassing China, but the people of China are also developing, and under the impetus of some reformers, they have also established their own industrial system, and they should definitely not use such backward weapons! ”
Facing Fujiwara Kaede's appreciative eyes, Captain Kogi mustered up his courage and continued: "I have seen a sample of a grenade used by [***] troops, which they call 'made in the border area', and the fragments of this mine are very close to the casting process of the 'made in the border area' grenade, and in terms of the analysis of the bomb capacity and the kinetic and thermal energy of the explosion, the explosive filling method is also similar. There is at least fifty years of difference between such backward weapons and the explosive device used by Lei Zhen and them in the lonely barracks in order to divert the attention of the British to the Emperor [***]! Based on the above evidence, I believe that the target we are pursuing is not Lei Zhen and Ling Weicheng, but Zhao Jun, who was wanted by Chen Gongbo with the Shanghai security forces, and the [***] army ...... who protected her."
Speaking of this, Captain Ueki's voice stopped abruptly, because making such an astonishing judgment was equivalent to directly announcing the failure of this pursuit mission, but the corners of Fujiwara Kaede's mouth lifted upwards and slowly raised a smile.
Fujiwara Kaede smiled confidently and arrogantly, and in his eyes, there was a kind of wisdom in strategizing to win a thousand miles, and he said indifferently: "We pursued along the way, and the other party also set a lot of traps to lure us astray, among which there are many whimsical ideas and ideas, and they also contain the wisdom of this nation. However, I must say that although the special operations techniques they use, including the weapons they are using, bear the marks of being tested by the flames of war, they cannot be compared with the modern military combat theories of those military powers in the West, which have formed a scientific system after hundreds of years of continuous precipitation and huge investment in continuous improvement. Lei Zhen is Xie Jinyuan's apprentice, and it is said that he also received special training from a company commander of a special service battalion directly under the Central Teaching Corps of the most elite army of the Kuomintang. ”
Speaking of this, Fujiwara Kaede smiled again, he took out a piece of plastic paper wrapped in fruit dan skin and a piece of blood-stained drawing paper from the satchel on his body, looked at the sketch drawn with a pencil on the drawing paper, and pondered for a moment, Fujiwara Kaede smiled: "It really deserves to be Xie Jinyuan's apprentice, master!" ”
After chasing the wrong enemy, paying attention to not being able to complete the mission, and seeing that his boss could still praise the enemy with such a smile on his face, Captain Kogi looked at Fujiwara Kaede with even more respect. He knew the hatred between Fujiwara Kaede and Lei Zhen, and he also knew why Fujiwara Kaede came to Shanghai to work as an intelligence officer.
But in the face of the bitter enemy who killed his younger brother with his own hands, Fujiwara Kaede can be so indifferent, and can even use an appreciative attitude to evaluate Lei Zhen's tricks to make them mess around!
Only a true master of strategy can maintain this kind of indifferent and free mentality on the battlefield, not affected by any environment, and not affected by emotions!
"The information obtained by Zhao Jun is just an agreement secretly reached by some Wang puppet political axes and the empire, even if it is made public, it will not have any impact on the empire, and it will only make Wang Jingwei and his party closer to the empire." Captain Xiaomu said: "I suggest that you immediately give up the pursuit of Zhao Jun and his henchmen and re-lock the mission target!" ”
"Do you think we can catch up now, even if we turn back immediately?"
Captain Kogi opened his mouth, but he suddenly realized that he had no way to answer Fujiwara Kaede's question.
"In this world, there are too many people waving the flag and shouting, and too few people strategizing." Fujiwara Kaede looked at his assistant, who had a good mind and excellent military skills, but had only been in the intelligence field for a short time and was relatively inexperienced, and asked with a smile: "Xiao Mujun, please tell me, do you want to be a person who waives the flag and shouts, or does you want to be a person who strategizes and wins thousands of miles?" ”
Captain Kogi replied without thinking, "Of course it's a strategist!" ”
"That's fine, let others do the things that are waving the flag."
Under Captain Kogi's inexplicable gaze, Fujiwara Kaede waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Bring the map!" ”
A soldier quickly put the map in front of Fujiwara Kaede, before the occupation of Shanghai, the intelligence agency had already conducted an all-encompassing field survey of the city and all the surrounding areas, and the military map placed in front of Fujiwara Kaede and Captain Kogi densely listed almost all the roads, mountains and rivers around Shanghai, and made accurate measurements of their data. After Fujiwara Kaede was transferred to the Shanghai intelligence department, he further refined this map, and now even if he doesn't have a map, he can close his eyes, and he can still appear in his brain the terrain of the area he is in, and he knows the forked passages that may appear in front of him.
"We were lured by Lei Zhen to catch up with Zhao Jun and his henchmen with a piece of candy paper and a piece of drawing paper, in other words, if there is no accident, we and Chen Gongbo's troops should follow the same road. But after chasing for so long, there is not even a shadow behind us, which can only show that Chen Gongbo's subordinates are also chasing in the wrong direction for some reason. ”
Fujiwara Kaede continued to look at the map, trying to determine where Lei Zhen and Ling Weicheng might arrive, and said to Captain Xiaomu: "Do you think that Lei Zhen's group of people is easier to deal with, or is it easier to deal with the people who protect Zhao Jun?" ”
"I didn't officially fight Lei Zhen, but judging from his series of acting styles, he is a person who has received strict military training and rich combat experience, and does things unscrupulously, does not play cards at all, and acts boldly and recklessly. There is an old saying in the Zhina people, people gather in groups, things are divided by kinds, and people who do not have considerable strength cannot keep up with the rhythm of thunder shock, let alone become his trusted assistant! ”
Speaking of this, Captain Xiaomu said categorically: "In comparison, I think Lei Zhen is stronger!" ”
"Chen Gongbo's subordinates are not all stupid pigs. Ding Moyu, whom he poached from Dai Li, of the Kuomintang Military Command Bureau, was a master of intelligence work, and together with him, there were also a group of special agents who had received strict training in the Military Command Bureau and had accumulated rich experience in fighting for the enemy with the Emperor's [***] team. If Chen Gongbo is willing to send this group of people out, even if they can't catch up with Lei Zhen, they can press forward step by step, so that Lei Zhen can't get a chance to breathe, and can only flee all the way forward. ”
Fujiwara Kaede took out a red and blue pencil and drew a heavy circle at a certain location on the map. "From the war to the present, from Shanghai to Guangzhou, almost all the battlefield cities have fallen into the hands of the emperor [***] team, Lei Zhen with Ling Weicheng and two children, must avoid the cities and towns occupied by the emperor [***] team, and avoid the communication lines patrolled by the emperor [***] team, in this case, there are only a handful of escape routes he can choose. If my judgment is correct, in four days the armed bandits led by Lei Zhen will leave the plains and enter the mountainous area, which is more suitable for guerrilla warfare and escape, and will take a proper rest in this small mountain village called Kuyaojing. ”
"And what we have to do these days is to follow behind Zhao Jun and his henchmen, beat them from time to time, but do not annihilate them. Beat them, beat them, beat them, hurt them, beat them urgently, and beat them so that they panicked. As long as we swing the whip in our hands more quickly, strike harder, and block other passages, I believe that in order to survive, these people can work hard and rush to the bitter kiln well in four days, right?! ”
By this time, Captain Kogi had fully understood Fujiwara Kaede's idea. Instead of abandoning Zhao Jun and the [***] guerrillas who protected her, it is better to put pressure on them and force them to move closer in the direction of Lei Zhen.
Think about it, the two teams with different goals, no affiliation, in order to escape successfully and once used their own schemes to lead the water to each other, after nearly a week of escape and fierce fighting, when the spirit was already in the most tense state, suddenly found such an enemy, as long as one of them is slightly out of control, there will be a good show of "cranes and mussels competing for fish and profit"!
Judging from the footprints, what protected Zhao Jun was a small army of fourteen people. Well...... Before Zhao Jun and Lei Zhen meet, let's take a look at it and knock out half of the troops on her side. ”
Fujiwara Kaede smiled and said, "We have already helped Chen Gongbo's men to cripple the target they are going to pursue." When it comes to dealing with the thunderstorm, whether it is public or private, or reasonable, they should also help us, wave the flag for us, and fight back! ”
Captain Kogi's body shook violently, and he found that he still didn't understand Fujiwara Kaede in the end, and it was only at this time that he really understood the meaning of Fujiwara Kaede's words "There are too many people waving flags and shouting in this world, and there are too few people who are strategizing"!
The troops of the Lei Zhen belt are definitely not easy to deal with, this is a fact recognized by the two people. They first picked up a soft persimmon and pinched it, and then ordered Chen Gongbo's elite troops to go and confront Lei Zhen's men.
Chen Gongbo's agents were killed, that was Chen Gongbo's business, it was better than sending them to the most elite professional soldiers of the empire's intelligence department to die, right?!
"These [***] armies hide in dark corners every day, playing guerrilla warfare, tunnel warfare, and mine warfare, and they are still complacent about it, and the reason why they can use this method to resist the iron hooves of our emperor [***] team is just to occupy the advantage of geography and people, but here, there is no so-called base area, and their set will not work!"
Fujiwara Kaede's eyes suddenly burst out with a sharp murderous aura to the limit, and he said indifferently: "Xiao Mujun, you and I each lead a unit to use guerrilla tactics to continuously attack them, let these mud legs see what a real guerrilla warfare expert is!" ”
