Chapter 667: Tu Feiyuan smuggled Dongkou
Yuncheng West, Jiangzhuang. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The temporary station of the new 37th Brigade is located here, with tens of thousands of horses, hundreds of trucks and mule carts, such a long team, it can be said that it is difficult to hide its tracks!
Kenji Dohihara was born in intelligence, and he wanted to smuggle across the Yellow River, so naturally it was impossible for him to forget to send an espionage team to the other side to spy on intelligence.
A large army suddenly came outside Yuncheng City, which immediately attracted the attention of the Japanese spy team!
Just when the spy team wanted to find out the origin of the army, the Yuncheng Police Department began to conduct a large-scale registration and investigation of outsiders in the city.
Not only did the police take to the streets, but even the gendarmes.
At the first time, Xie Chengrui got in touch with the 22nd Division of the Third Army stationed in Yuncheng, and blocked the news on a large scale to find the Japanese spy team.
Whether there is one or not, check it out first.
Playing tricks with the old devil Tu Feiyuan, he thought of everything he could think of, and he couldn't be sloppy in the slightest, which was specially advised by Leng Feng.
Although Xie Chengrui is Leng Feng's old leader, he doesn't have the idea of relying on the old and selling the old, and Leng Feng's orders can always be completed to the letter.
If his old boss doesn't take the lead, then what will others do to you, and maintaining the prestige of the commander is also the responsibility and obligation of the subordinate.
The spy team in Tufeiyuan is tragic, not only is it unable to move, but it is also blocked in the city, and it can hope to escape this catastrophe with the help of a disguised identity.
"Deputy brigade seat, the police station reported that more than a dozen suspicious elements have been caught, and they are being screened, hoping to find the spies of the Japanese army!"
"Tell them that those who are identified need to be paid special attention to and follow our way of thinking." Xie Chengrui said, "Have the political workers been sent?" Do you have the "Spy Agent Identification Manual" with you? ”
"It's already gone."
"Okay, there must be Japanese spies here, be careful to show me, I gave them this opportunity to make meritorious contributions, don't embarrass me."
"Yes!"
"Where is Cheng Gang's 371st Regiment?"
"They're running fast, they're already in Red Boat Town." Communications Staff reported.
"Okay, it's pretty fast, Cheng Gang, this kid is much better than Guoguang don't follow me!"
"Report, the plainclothes squad of the reconnaissance battalion reported that they have entered Juancheng, and the current situation in the city is calm, and they have not been found for the time being."
"Well, early tomorrow morning, let them go to Dongkou Town to have a look, and by the way, find out the situation of the ferry in that area, and pay attention to hiding their identities." Xie Chengrui commanded.
"Yes!"
"Xie Deputy Brigade Seat, the division headquarters is in an emergency!"
"Overnight?" When Xie Chengrui saw the content of the telegram, a pair of thick eyebrows squeezed into a "one" character, and it seemed that the division headquarters had made a clear judgment that the Japanese army was very likely to smuggle across the Yellow River in the Dongkou area.
"Chief of Staff, what do you think?" Xie Chengrui sent the telegram to Han Xianyuan, the chief of staff who was drinking water.
"Isn't it too urgent to pull it out overnight?" Han Xianyuan said, "Do you want to ask the division headquarters about the true meaning of this order?" ”
"I think Guoguang has his thoughts, in fact, it's not a bad thing for us to arrive in Juancheng earlier, marching at night, that's our strong point." Xie Chengrui said, "Just ask the brothers of the 22nd Division to send us a guide!" ”
"Well, you're the leader of the team, you decide."
"The distance from Yuncheng to Juancheng is about forty kilometers, if not, if you march in a hurry, six hours is enough, we have cars, as well as mules and carriages and other means of transportation, the time will be greatly shortened, not to mention that you don't have to rush so quickly, you can sleep for two hours when you arrive, not tired!" Xie Chengrui smiled optimistically.
"That's right, I'm going to give the regiment an order and prepare to go."
"Prepare the car, I'll go to the headquarters of the 22nd Division!"
"Yes!"
Puyang, the headquarters of the 14th Division.
"Division commander, the troops crossing the river have been assembled and can cross the river at any time!" Chief of Staff Tadayoshi Sano walked briskly into Kenji Dohihara's office.
"Well, I see, what's the night like tonight?"
"It's not bad, the sky is basically cloudless, and even if there is no lighting, we can tell the direction by the moonlight!" Tadayoshi Sano. (April 12 in the lunar calendar, May 11 in the solar calendar, after midnight)
"Very good, once our troops cross the Yellow River and do not encounter effective resistance, immediately organize the Zhouqiao troops to erect steel pontoon bridges on the river!"
"Hay!"
"Your Excellency Division Commander, when are we going to cross the river?"
"Let's wait until the Chinese are asleep." Kenji Dohihara opened his eyes and spoke, and slowly closed his eyes again.
The big war is coming, Kenji Dohihara feels a trace of excitement in his heart, but also a trace of worry, after crossing the river, he has two choices, go south and go straight to the Longhai line, cut off the supply line and back road of hundreds of thousands of elite middle GJ in the Xuzhou area, and another option is to go west, attack and occupy Lanfeng, and take Zhengzhou directly!
If Zhengzhou can be taken, the front of the Pinghan Line will be opened, and Wuhan will be in sight.
How to choose?
Kenji Dohihara really wants to take the credit for the capture of Zhengzhou into his own hands, in that way, the first credit for the capture of Wuhan is his own, all along, he is not outstanding in military command, and he has no outstanding performance as a division commander, this is a great opportunity, he has been planning for a long time, and finally can let those who feel that they have no achievements in military affairs to see, he is not just good at intelligence work.
Just tonight, he wants to surprise the Chinese and surprise the world.
In Red Boat Town, the officers and soldiers of the 371st Regiment had just finished dinner and were preparing to camp, when they received the order to open overnight, they immediately repacked their backpacks and prepared to set off.
They were less than forty miles away from Juancheng, and if they marched on foot, they could reach it in about three hours, and if there were mechanized transports, the time would be greatly shortened!
A regiment of sharp knives for the whole brigade, equipped with twenty trucks, and a large number of mule-and-horse carts, if some unnecessary baggage is thrown away, and if you travel lightly, you will have no problem reaching Juancheng before twelve o'clock.
History has no ifs, just as what happened cannot be repeated, if Tohihara's chief of staff, Tadayoshi Sano, had reminded him a day earlier, maybe the situation would have changed differently, and if Leng Feng had not ordered the 37th Brigade to be pulled out overnight, the result might have been different.
History is inadvertently connected because of such an accident.
Dongkou Town, formed in the alluvial plain of the Yellow River, most of the common people are moved here in the Ming Dynasty, the town station Dongkou Village has Hongwu years, Shanxi Hongtong people Gao's and Chen's relocation formed, because the west is close to the Yellow River Ferry, so the village name is "Ferry", and later evolved into "Dongkou", which should be the reason for the dialect.
The Yellow River here flows slowly, the distance between the river banks is only more than 200 meters, and the river is not deep, it is a natural ferry, and over time, it becomes extremely busy here.
Ever since the Japanese army entered China and occupied a large area north of the Yellow River, the Yellow River has become a natural barrier against the enemy, and its coast has become the front line of warfare.
Many of the people along the river, especially the villages near the military forts, were empty, and Dongkou could only be an inconspicuous one of the hundreds of ferries on the south bank of the Yellow River.
Moreover, there is no bridge built in this vicinity, and the width of the river of more than two or three hundred meters is not so easy to cross, so although the people of Dongkou know that the other side of the river has been occupied by the Japanese army, they can still live a peaceful life.
There was also a garrison in Dongkou Town, with a company of the 22nd Division, mainly to monitor the movements of the Japanese troops on the other side, as well as the flood control work of the Yellow River and to check out suspicious people coming from the opposite bank.
As long as the Japanese army did not cross the river, it was not forbidden for people on the other side of the river to come by private boats, as long as they passed through the checkpoints set up at the shore entrance.
The meandering Yellow River, which gave birth to the ancient Chinese civilization and fed the sons and daughters of China for thousands of years, is our mother river, but now this mother river is being trampled by the iron hooves of the invaders and Japanese invaders.
No bloody Chinese can afford his mother to be ravaged by the enemy like this. , humiliate!
At about ten o'clock, on the riverbank opposite Dongkou, there was a group of people dressed in mud yellow. The Japanese soldiers in colored uniforms were still helping to float, and seven or eight black rubber boats were placed on the ground near their feet.
"First Squad, Lizheng!"
Several cars drove over from a distance, and the Japanese second lieutenant who led the team hurriedly gathered the team.
Kenji Dohihara, commander of the 14th Division, Tadayoshi Sano, chief of staff, and Major General Takashi Sakai of the 28th Infantry Brigade, the troops who smuggled across the Yellow River tonight were from his Toyama Wing.
"Report to the general, the Akiyama team has been assembled and is ready to cross the river!"
"Very good, let's get started!" Kenji Dohihara nodded slightly, originally with such an action, he didn't need to personally ask the commander of the lieutenant general's division.
However, he still came, and this battle was too critical to allow any mistakes.
"Hay!" Second Lieutenant Akiyama was thrilled, this was an operation that could go down in history, and if it succeeded, not only his personal future, but also his family would benefit from it, and of course, it was also for the sake of jihad, for the empire, and for the common prosperity of Greater East Asia.
Seven or eight rubber boats were pushed into the muddy and icy waters of the Yellow River, fully armed, and a small group of Japanese soldiers climbed onto the rubber boats one after another, struggling to swing the wooden oars in their hands.
Under the impact of the turbulent water, the rubber boat quickly deviated from its direction, and they had already calculated the current, and went down the river from the upstream, so that they could reach their destination on the opposite shore closely.
On the east bank of the ferry, two people were patrolling along the embankment of the Yellow River, and in front was a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a box cannon hanging from his waist, and behind him was a young junior with a rifle on his back.
"Platoon commander, take a break and smoke a cigarette?"
"Good!"
"Platoon commander, do you think this little devil will really sneak over?" Polishing a match, the beating light of the fire suddenly dispelled a lot of the darkness around him.
"You're a soldier, what do you care about so much?" The platoon commander had a cigarette in his mouth and his head leaned over.
"Platoon commander, you, ...... behind you" was about to light the cigarette in his mouth, when he suddenly felt that the voice of his subordinate who had lit a cigarette for himself was a little wrong, and his hand trembled. Shake it up.
When he raised his head, he was also scared!
The Japanese soldiers, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers, surrounded them.
"Run!"
The first reaction of the two people was to run for their lives, but both of them ran in the direction of the other party, and the result can be imagined, when they knocked each other down, got up from the ground, and wanted to run again, the fierce Japanese soldiers had already pounced!
In the face of the Japanese soldiers who pounced on him, he knew that he might not be able to run today, and these Japanese soldiers came from the other side secretly, and they would definitely not let him go.
At this time, he thought of a warning!
So, ignoring the Japanese soldier who rushed towards him, he turned around and slammed into the Japanese soldier who was rushing towards his subordinates.
"Ergazi, go back and report to the company commander, the little devil is smuggling......"
The man named Ergazi was so frightened that he didn't know how to react, so he stood there like a fool, and a Japanese soldier came from behind him, and a sharp bayonet directly pierced the person!
"Ergazi, **** little devil, I'll fight with you!" The platoon commander's eyes were red, and he reached out to pull out the box cannon on his waist, but the Japanese soldier was faster than him and suddenly pressed his right hand.
"Little devil, I. Exercise. Your ancestor ......" The platoon commander knew that it was impossible for him to draw his gun, and with a grunt, a round thing rolled out of the platoon commander's arms.
Grenade!
Or a melon grenade made in Japan!
The Japanese soldiers were startled, and just as they were about to control the grenade, the platoon commander suddenly broke free from the shackles of the Japanese soldiers, pounced on the grenade, grabbed the grenade, and pulled off the plug on it with lightning speed, and knocked it on his head.
"Hahaha, little devil, don't you want to kill grandpa, grandpa will accompany you to see Lord Yama!"
"Lie down!"
Rumble!
A bang!
The grenade exploded!
The platoon commander used his life to pull a grenade and warn the garrison of Dongkou Town in the way of his heroic sacrifice.
