Suddenly, Shen Kai had an idea, and said, "I have an idea, it is better to use the Japanese radio station to send false information back."

Chen Zikun laughed: "You are really a talent, where did you learn all this?" ”

Shen Kai said: "When I was a child, I read a lot of books, so I naturally learned it. ”

Chan was interested: "What book are you reading?" ”

"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, embroidered like the legend of the martyrs, and the legend of the Shushan swordsman who returned the pearl to the lord of the building." Shen Kai counted his fingers as a few family treasures.

Chen Zikun smiled: "Okay, you can take the reward." ”

Shen Kai's reward for reporting the spies was 1,000 yuan in legal currency, which was a lot of money, enough for him to maintain his expenses for two or three years, and the soldiers who carried out the capture mission were also rewarded, Lin Wenlong also received a reward of 200 yuan, and he was very happy, and he wanted to catch a few more spies to improve his life.

Shen Kai's plan, Chen Zikun had already thought of it, but the first trial only learned that the two spies were not from the Central China Army, but the North China Front, that is, there was no way to use them to induce the Niu Dao Brigade to carry out the wrong battle.

I'm afraid these two spies are just the tip of the iceberg, Beitai must have been full of spies, and the streets are all over the street.

Huayuankou burst the embankment, the Yellow River flooded, a large number of refugees crossed the mountains and mountains to Jiangbei, so that the grain pressure in Beitai increased sharply, the food that had been prepared for a year, because the refugee population rose sharply and became insufficient, they are all compatriots, can not be expelled, and can not see them starve to death, can only open refugees to feed them.

In the refugee camp, the old and weak in ragged clothes are queuing up to eat, and there is a Taishi chair on the side of the grass hut in the distance, a man with cold eyebrows is sitting on it, and there are four big men standing on the left and right.

No one recognized that the leader of the Red Gun Society was none other than Xia Jingqi, the adjutant of the Jiangdong Provincial Army, who was defeated and fled during the warlord melee.

In the past three months, the population of Beitai has increased dramatically, and the original city government team is no longer enough to cope with it, and the civil servants headed by Xiao Lang have forgotten to sleep and eat, sleeping only four or five hours a day, and have no time to take care of these idle things in the refugee camp.

Ruan Mingchuan, editor-in-chief of Huaijiang Daily, was not idle, the newspaper moved west to Beitai, and sales did not fall but rose, which was really unexpected, reporters and editors were busy interviewing everywhere, writing anti-Japanese news, motivating the people, boosting morale, and the second page of the newspaper every day set aside a place to report on the recent situation of Chen Zikun's family, such as General Chen Zikun inspecting the artillery position today, and Ms. Yao Yilei condolences to the wounded soldiers tomorrow, etc., which seems ordinary, but in fact conveys a message, that is, the determination of the top level to defend Beitai.

Chen Zikun's family stayed in Beitai for one day, and the army's morale was stable for one day.

……

A steamer transporting iron ore has set sail, the Beitai Steel Mill has stopped production, and all the machinery and equipment that can be transported have been removed, but the mine is still working overtime, and the resources must be transported as much as possible before the Japanese army occupies the place.

Shen Kai and Lin Wenlong sat on this bulk carrier, they were Chen Zikun's special approval to leave Beitai, Shen Kai went to report to the Military Survey and Statistics Bureau, Lin Wenlong went to study at Southwest Associated University, in the big era, everyone's fate can not be controlled by themselves, can only go with the flow.

A Japanese reconnaissance plane flew through the air, and Shen Kai pointed to the sky and said, "Sky, one day it will be clear." ”

Lin Wenlong looked at the blue sky, understood what the old classmate meant, and nodded vigorously: "Yes!" ”

The whistle sounded, the cargo ship laden with iron ore went upstream, the chimney spewed puffs of black smoke, and the steam engine let out an overwhelming roar, just like the disaster-stricken motherland.

After making a circle, the Japanese reconnaissance plane flew back to the provincial airfield and reported to the brigade commander, Major General Ushijima Mitsuru, that no trace of Saito's brigade had been found.

At the same time, the plainclothes reconnaissance team found a large number of relics of the Saito Brigade in the rural areas of the Jiangnan area, including military uniforms, leather shoes, lunch boxes, raincoats, etc., but no survivors were found.

There are all signs that the Saito Brigade has been completely wiped out.

Ushijima was pacing back and forth in the office, frowning, a brigade of more than 1,000 people, silently gone, it was really strange, even if it was a siege and annihilation battle, it was impossible to annihilate all of them, could it be that the Chinese army was ambushed in Beitai? However, according to Chongqing's spy reports, there were no regular army units in North Thailand.

In any case, the Saito Brigade must be found, and Ushijima Mitsuru ordered the 45th Wing to attack.

The 45th Wing is the wing to which the Saito Brigade belongs, and the Wing Commander Okamoto Rangji is a stable Osa and sends him to attack, and General Ushijima is very relieved.

Okamoto's wing sang military songs and drove out of the provincial capital, and in the crowd at the gate of the city, some people silently wrote down the numbers of soldiers, weapons, horses, and vehicles of the troops.

An hour later, in a remote corner of the provincial capital, the radio transmitter began to tick and tick.

The Okamoto Wing lacked a brigade, but it still had 2,300 troops, equipped with six infantry guns, two anti-tank guns, and more importantly, a radio station that could report the situation to the brigade headquarters at any time.

A brigade was inexplicably annihilated, the captain of the Okamoto wing did not dare to advance arrogantly, the troops shrank into a ball and rolled forward, scouts came out in all directions, step by step, the highway from the provincial capital to Jiangbei has been destroyed, every distance is a big pit, or boulders block the road, there are obstacles and ditches on the side of the road, vehicles can not go around, can only let the sappers build the road, this journey, it took three days to complete.

Finally drove to the south bank of North Thailand, Okamoto Osa sent several squadrons to sweep around, reconnoitring the situation, but the neighboring villages were all empty, the sweeping troops stepped on mines, lost dozens of people, and came back in embarrassment, not even a chicken was caught.

I was thinking about how to attack, when suddenly the outpost reported that several people were coming from the north shore with white chess pieces and carts.

His Excellency the Wing Commander hurriedly went to check, raised his binoculars and saw that the three guys were in rags, pulling a broken car and stumbling over, with a white flag on the car.

"Your Excellency, let's fire, it may be a conspiracy of the Shina people." A young man shouted with his saber.

Okamoto Osa calmly raised his right hand wearing white gloves: "No, if you take a closer look, they are wearing the imperial army's ninety-eight style military uniform." ”

The officers raised their binoculars one after another, and sure enough, the rags on the people who came were the 98 military uniforms, because the returned military uniforms of this new equipment were similar to the clothing of the Kuomintang troops, and they almost confessed their mistake.

Sure enough, it was the captives of Saito's brigade, and when they saw their own people, they immediately wept bitterly, as if they had been greatly stimulated, and their fingers were cut off in three ways, leaving only the thumb and little finger, let alone holding guns, and it was difficult to engage in ordinary labor.

"Your Excellency, come and see!" Someone pointed to the cart and exclaimed.

The car was loaded with a lot of ears and a human head, Okamoto wiped his glasses, and after a closer look, this human head turned out to be Saito Shinjiro Shaosa!

"Yaga!" Captain Okamoto was furious, he saw a bloodstained letter under Saito's head, opened it and saw that it was actually a challenge book, about Okamoto United to fight to the death on the south bank, if they agreed, they would fire a red flare into the sky at night.

The wing commander of the Imperial Army is naturally not a fool, Okamoto Osa sneered, tore up the challenge book, personally asked the few released prisoners, and gradually figured out the reason for the collapse of Saito's brigade, his expression gradually became solemn, it turned out that the other party did not use any conspiracy, but was indeed super strong, with heavy artillery support, and a strong cavalry team to cooperate.

"Since that's the case, it's not impossible to fight with dignity." Okamoto's ambition was aroused, and since the Battle of Nanjing, he had not encountered a decent opponent, and the enemy of Northern Thailand was so strong that it gave him a fighting spirit.

After explaining the situation to his commanders, all the princes expressed their willingness to engage the Shina people head-on, but Okamoto was still careful, and he sent a telegram to the brigade headquarters asking for bomber support.

Okamoto's wing drove to the bank of the Huai River, although the iron bridge was close at hand, but His Excellency the Wing Commander was not allowed to attack, and he wanted to wait for the enemy to take the initiative to attack the next day, and launch a battle of annihilation to destroy the enemy on the south bank.

In the evening, a reconnaissance balloon was raised on the opposite bank, and Okamoto Osa saw it and secretly cursed the cunning Shina man, who actually used technical weapons.

That night, the heralds of the wing headquarters fired a red flare into the sky.

The Okamoto Wing quietly set up a pocket formation to wait for work, and ambushed an infantry squadron on the south side of the railway bridge, digging trenches and erecting crooked light machine guns and grenadiers to guard against enemy night attacks.

……

On the north shore, twenty American-made Christie T3 fast tanks were driven out of the underground cavern, which is Chen Zikun's secret weapon, which was purchased when he traveled to the United States two years ago, and cost him a lot of savings, this tank is equipped with 37 mm guns and four machine guns, and the fire is quite fierce, and it can be used for crawler walking, or it can be removed from the track and walked on load wheels, at this time the speed is as high as 74 kilometers per hour, and the maneuverability is super strong.

With the experience of the tax police corps, Chen Zikun did not dare to reveal that these tanks were imported in the name of agricultural tractors, and they have been stored in Beitai after they were transported, and tankers were secretly recruited for training.

In addition to these 20 tanks, the Beitai Mobile Police Brigade also had a number of British-made Cardenroyd light armored vehicles, as well as dozens of trucks with iron plates welded on the outside, loaded with infantry, armed with machine guns, and extremely solemn faces.

Armbled gendarmes maintained order in the streets, guiding the tank formations into the North Thai railway station, from where they would set off to attack the Japanese troops on the south bank.

Four German-made 105 howitzers have quietly entered the battle position, and dozens of old Grusen 57 fast guns have also been pushed to the bank of the river, ready to exert their residual heat.

At Beitai Airport, four Boeing 281 destroyers are nervously armed, four 52-kilogram bombs are hanging under the belly, and the magazines of two 7.62-mm machine guns are filled with yellow and clear bullet chains.

Chen Zikun has been running Jiangdong for more than ten years and has made countless fortunes, but in the end he spent it on these things.
