Chapter 131: The Siege of Taipei (Part II)
When Kato approached the chair, he was greeted by the woman's scratched back. Apparently there was no less abuse last night.
Kato shouted from his chair: "Your Excellency the Governor, the officers of the Imperial Army are waiting for you." ”
Since both of them were lying on their stomachs, the faces of the three of them could not be seen on the Kato chair. Out of awe of Kawamura Takeji, Kato spoke first in the chair.
But it was in vain to scream, and Kawamura Takeji still lay motionless on the ground.
Kato glanced at the two guards on the chair, swallowed his saliva, approached Kawamura Takeji, squatted down, and stretched out his hand to shake Kawamura Takeji awake, but the outstretched hand just touched Kawamura Takeji's body and found a burst of coldness. It's summer, and summer in Taipei has always been hot, even the wind is hot. Even if I slept on the roof for one night, even if I slept for a few nights, my body would not be cold.
The heart on Kato's chair was also cold to the touch, and when he put his hand on the woman, he found that it was also cold. Pushed Kawamura Takeji's body again, very stiff.
At this time, the two guards also saw the problem, and hurriedly walked over and turned Kawamura Takeji over. At this time, Kawamura Takeji's cheeks were bulging, his eyes were sunken, and there were faint traces of blood on his lower body. The woman was also turned over, her eyes were blank, her face was frightened, she couldn't see her neck just now, but when she turned around, she could see a finger print on her neck, and her front body was covered with black green. There is no need to check anymore, when the hands of the two guards touched Kawamura Takeji's body, both of them also knew that Kawamura Takeji and the woman were already dead people at this time.
Kato was already stunned in his chair at this time, but he was still a little sensible, and hurriedly said to one of the guards: "Go to the conference room immediately and call all the officers inside." By the way, I called a doctor to come over and see the cause of death. ”
One of the guards responded, "Hey! And he ran down the stairs.
After a while, the officers of all levels who had been in the conference room came to the roof of the building, and when they saw Kawamura Takeji, they all shook their heads. Every officer sighed in his heart: This battle has just begun, and the commander is hanging, what is this called!
The doctor examined it and finally came to a conclusion, which made everyone feel even more disgraced.
Takeji Kawamura was "tired" to death, and the woman was "played" to death.
When the division commander of the division stationed in Taiwan heard the doctor's conclusion, he grabbed Kato's chair and led him by the collar. Waste..."He stopped when his cheeks were swollen and he couldn't see his original face clearly. After the fight, the commander of the division stationed in Taiwan put Kato on his chair and said: "Gentlemen, the cause of Governor Kawamura's death is to announce to the outside world that he died of illness, and I will immediately report this matter to the base camp." Now I am the supreme commander here, and I have full command of the next battle. Now let's go down to the meeting and work out the next course of action."
After saying that, he turned around and walked down to the roof, and the officers followed. I don't pay much attention to Takeji Kawamura, who is already dead, and now is not the time to pay attention to this.
The Japanese base camp did not inquire too much about the death of Takeji Kawamura, this kind of thing is already very embarrassing, and the base camp is eager to reveal it. An order was also issued to the supreme commander stationed in Taiwan, and the commander of the division stationed in Taiwan replaced Takeji Kawamura. At the same time, the base camp issued an order to the commander of the division stationed in Taiwan to defend Taipei no matter what.
At this time, after a night of preparation, a small warehouse has been simply organized, and now it has become a temporary headquarters, and the electronic equipment inside has also begun to operate, and the sound of the radio and the sound of typewriter typing outlines a unique music. Kong Wenhong and Qian Sihai came here early after breakfast, the two of them walked into Keelung Port last night, took a hasty rest, and got up early in the morning, ready to command the next move of the troops.
When the two of them walked into the temporary headquarters, a staff officer walked over with a report, saluted a military salute, and said: "Report sir, now that the troops of a corps of our People's Army have formed an encirclement of Taipei, the artillery and tank units have begun to assemble in Taipei, and it is expected that in another hour, they will be able to launch an attack." ”
Kong Wenhong took the report and looked at it, then handed the report to Qian Sihai, and said with a smile: "The speed is okay, all these years of training, but it is still not as good as your Marine Corps." When I heard about yesterday's attack, you Marines were going crazy, and the speed of the armored vehicles could not keep up with their attack. ”
The commander said with a smile, the soldiers in the Marine Corps are not selected from other units, although the battle is good, but they always like to make mistakes, and when they start fighting, they are always afraid that the edge will be too strong, for fear that the credit will be snatched away. I often commit some objective discipline, which often gives me a headache. Qian Sihai was a little embarrassed by the old chief's praise.
"You kid, it's cheap and good. Where do you find such soldiers? Kong Wenhong said that he also made money all over the world.
"Huh! The army is not bad, and if the factors of the landing war are put aside, it will not be easy for the marines to defeat the army one-on-one. Kong Wenhong's actions have become accustomed to Qian Sihai.
"Count you kid who can talk." Kong Wenhong looked at Qian Sihai with a very realistic expression.
"I'm telling the truth, and I'll find out if I try it after the war."
"Okay, we don't want you to hold me, I'll hold you. It's time to get down to business! Kong Wenhong said with a straight face.
"Hmmm! At present, there are still tens of thousands of regular troops in Taipei, and the rest are all armed expatriates, and they are not able to form much combat strength at all. And now there are no Chinese left in Taipei, of course, those who have forgotten their ancestors are not counted. This provides a lot of convenience for our next attack, and our offensive intensity can also be greatly strengthened, without worrying about hurting innocents. "When it comes to business, Qian Sihai is completely different from him when he was joking at the beginning, as if he has changed as a person. Just now, he looked like a young man next door, and now he exudes a serious look, which is completely in line with the appearance of a general who has the power to kill.
Kong Wenhong knows Qian Sihai's character very well, and he can joke better than anyone else, but once he encounters something serious, he can also face it with twelve points of spirit. This is also one of the reasons why Chen Shao chose Qian Sihai to establish the Marine Corps.
"But I also want to warn the troops, you can't take it lightly, Taipei's walls are not short, and I don't want too many casualties." Kong Wenhong looked at a simulated map next to him and said. This field simulation map was just made by the scouts, and this map marks the height and thickness of the city walls of Taipei City, and also simulates all the surrounding landforms. Field simulation and making topographic models are the special skills of KPA scouts, and they are also the skills that every scout unit must have. Generally speaking, every terrain that the KPA needs to take seriously needs a field model, so that the commander can better command the troops, or use tactics better.
"Sir, I strongly request that our marines be the first offensive echelon, and I promise that it will only take one day to take Taipei." Qian Sihai straightened up and looked at Kong Wenhong with a serious face.
"No, the army is responsible for this attack, and your marines have no offensive mission now." Regarding Qian Sihai's words, Kong Wenhong was unmoved.
"Old sir, our Marine Corps finally got out of the mission, why do we have to sit on the cold bench now? Old sir, for the sake of me being your old subordinate, give me another chance to appear! Otherwise, I won't be able to do the ideological work of the soldiers when I go back!" Qian Sihai looked at Kong Wenhong hopefully.
"Haha..., it seems that the chairman still understands you." Kong Wenhong couldn't help laughing when he heard Qian Sihai's somewhat coquettish tone. It seems that these trainings have choked the soldiers of the Marine Corps. It was the first time he had heard Qian Sihai speak to himself in such a tone. At the same time as Kong Wenhong spoke, his hands were free, but he took out a telegram from his pocket and handed it to Qian Sihai, motioning him to read it for himself.
Qian Sihai took the telegram with a puzzled expression. Message: Sihai, this attack on Taipei, the Marine Corps as the last offensive echelon, and the army is in charge of the forward. The siege of the city is the responsibility of the Army, and the Marine Corps has the responsibility of the Marine Corps. Putting your Marines last is also intentionally compensating the Marines. Also, don't bother Kong Wenhong and Cai Yi, I'm in charge of this matter.
The telegram is dated yesterday evening. After reading the telegram, Qian Sihai's face was slightly red. He didn't expect that the chairman, who was far away in Nanning, had already issued a report yesterday, and his careful thinking had already been seen through by others.
"Well, I didn't say anything, it was sent by the chairman himself, and I wanted to give it to you directly, but I want to see if the chairman guessed correctly. It seems that the chairman of the mind in your stomach has already anticipated it. Now, it's almost useless for you and me to set up. Kong Wenhong looked at Qian Sihai with an embarrassed face and pretended to be helpless.
"Since it is the chairman's arrangement, then I have nothing to say, but as an elite unit of the People's Army, even if it is the last offensive echelon, we can also play the demeanor of our marines." Qian Sihai shrugged, although he did not get the first batch of offensive tasks, but he also expounded his determination to lose the battle.
"Good! Although I am in the army, I am optimistic about you. It's just that when the time comes, you will have to attack faster! Otherwise, when the time comes, don't wait for you to enter the city, even the devil hair will be cleaned up! Kong Wenhong was very serious at the beginning, and when he talked about the back, he couldn't help but laugh again.
"I can rest assured that our Marines will not let the Chairman down." Qian Sihai didn't care about Kong Wenhong's words, and now everything he said was empty words, and he had enough confidence in the fighters he had trained single-handedly.
Speak with action.
