Chapter 1093: Arrive at the pick-up point
In the early morning, the breeze rustles the bamboo forest. Shunroku Hata yawned lazily, then jumped up from the bed. Years of military service have allowed him to maintain his early habits even though he is over half a hundred years old.
After getting dressed, Shunroku Hata opened the door and walked outside. His residence was closely connected to the operational headquarters, and now the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command were compressed in this area of Hunan, and it was very inconvenient to stretch and retreat. In the past, the People's Liberation Army was eyeing him, and after that, the millions of troops of the National-Army were fighting against him every day, and Shunroku Hata had to maintain a high degree of vigilance at all times.
As soon as he entered the combat headquarters, Shunroku Hata was immediately stunned. The headquarters was already full, so early, with only a few staff officers there, and he had never seen so many people gathered here - unless something big happened.
Shunroku Hatata's face immediately became grim, and his first thought was that there must have been some major changes in the battlefield with the national army.
"What's going on?" Toshimi Hatatake strode towards the headquarters, his face extremely grim.
"Your Excellency, Commander!" All the officers stopped talking, and straightened their bodies, their chests puffed out.
"Don't be restrained, tell me, what's going on?" Shunroku Hata walked quickly to the crowd, his eyes fixed on the highest-ranking major general among them.
"Your Excellency, Commander, an hour ago I received an urgent telegram from the front. The enemy attacked our newly built airfield in Laifeng County last night, and all the defenders of the airfield were martyred, and the 99th Wing guarding Laifeng County suffered heavy casualties, the weapons and ammunition depot was looted, and the airport was bombed."
Before the admiral's words were finished, Shunroku Hata had already begun to go berserk: "Enough, don't say it again!" Are you trying to tell me how incompetent our army is to watch the enemy destroy everything? ”
Major General Devil hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, I didn't mean that, what I said was just what was on the telegram!" ”
Shunroku Hata breathed heavily, spinning back and forth like a wild bull. The surrounding devil officers all got out of the way, not daring to have any contact with Shunroku Hata at this time, they were afraid that they would become victims of Shunroku Hatata's stormy anger.
"Which unit of the National-Army?" Shunroku Hata suddenly stopped and asked coldly.
Major General Devil hesitated for a moment, but still mustered up the courage to say: "It's not a unit of the National Army!" ”
"Not the National-Army?" Shunroku Hata looked at him in surprise: "It's not the national army, is it a guerrilla?" ”
"Yes, it's the People's Liberation Army!" Major General Devil said in a deep voice.
"What? Liberation of the People's Liberation Army? Hata Junliu's surprised eyes were about to pop out, and he said incredulously: "The People's Liberation Army is staying well in Hubei, and Laifeng County is a whole province away from them." How did they get to Feng County? And also there to bomb our airfield and kill our people, how did they do it? ”
No one could answer him, and in fact everyone was confused, and someone needed to answer this puzzle that puzzled everyone.
"Are the defenders all gone?" Shunroku Hata asked nervously, he didn't realize that he was already a little out of shape.
"No, there are more than 2,000 people still alive, but," the major general said embarrassedly, "from Wing Commander Taro Kawamoto to ordinary soldiers, all of them were stripped naked, and then tied up and thrown into the trenches. According to the reinforcements, they didn't seem to have any resistance and let the PLA capture them! ”
"What? You mean, our people didn't fire a single shot, dropped their guns, took off their clothes, and tied themselves up, just to survive in front of the PLA? Shunroku Hata yelled in disbelief.
"I'm afraid so!" Major General Devil nodded helplessly.
"Yaga, it's a bastard. Is this still the majestic unit of the Imperial Japanese Army? Is there still a little bit of the dignity of the Great Japanese Imperial Army? Shunroku Hata was almost about to go crazy, and roared madly: "They still have the face to survive, they should all go to hell, they live in this world, it is an insult to all of us Imperial Japanese Army!" ”
"Your Excellency, it is said that the People's Liberation Army that attacked Laifeng County has withdrawn to the north. According to their route, it should be advancing to Hubei. Shall we order the troops to take the initiative to intercept them and prevent them from leaving? A devil Dazuo whispered.
Shunroku Hata was angry, and when he heard the words of this subordinate, he immediately became angry and wanted to slap him to death.
"Intercept interception, are you going to intercept it? Are you ready to surrender to them with the troops stripped naked? Shunroku Hata roared like a beast: "If the People's Liberation Army doesn't come to provoke us, forget it, you still have to provoke them." Don't you understand the current situation? Our Chinese troops are flanked on both sides, and if relations with the PLA are stiffened, they will launch a general attack on us at any time. It's rare that now their energy is attracted to Hebei, and they don't have time to take care of us. Now, if such a big move is made, all the main forces of the People's Liberation Army will be attracted to it. When the time comes, Kiyoji Kazuki will come to thank me for my help, you brainless bastards! ”
A group of subordinates bowed their heads one after another, and most of them had a fear of the PLA in their hearts, and they were yelled at by Shunroku Hata like this, and immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
It is okay to fight the country and the army, but to fight the People's Liberation Army, then we must be cautious and cautious. If you are not sure of winning, you must not offend the other party.
"Your Excellency Commander, then those PLA" Major General Devil asked suspiciously: "You can't just let them in our territory, right?" ”
Hata Junroku took a heavy breath and ordered coldly: "Order all troops along the way to immediately find the whereabouts of the PLA, don't fight after finding it, just gather the army and drive them out like ducks." We can't afford to offend them now, so we can only rush out. I believe that these PLA will not stay long, their traces have been exposed, and they will definitely leave in the fastest time! ”
"Your Excellency the Commander is still smart, and it is really amazing to simply drive the PLA out of Hunan!"
A group of devils immediately slapped their ass, each gave a thumbs up, and sent Shunroku Hata to kneel down to show worship.
Shunroku Hata snorted coldly: "Wait until we defeat the Guo-army and reoccupy the territory." At that time, our reinforcements will also arrive. When the time comes, with the capital to fight the PLA again, I must get back the humiliation I suffered ten times and a hundred times more from them. China is destined to kill all the PLAs in order to wash away the shame! ”
The murderous intent in Hata's eyes flashed suddenly: "Don't leave any of the more than 2,000 people who came to Feng County to surrender to the People's Liberation Army." This kind of fear of the PLA must not spread throughout the army, and if this goes on for a long time, how will we fight against the PLA in the future? The order went down, and they were all taken to Changsha, where they were publicly shot outside the city. Those who have lost the dignity and dignity of the Imperial Japanese Army, those who surrender without fighting to the last drop of blood, must die! ”
"Hay!" All the devil officers nodded in unison, their voices full of murderous aura.
Just when the devils were looking for the incoming People's Liberation Army, Gao Dong and the Sky Wolf Commando had successfully bypassed the front line of the exchange of fire between the Japanese army and the national army, and quietly infiltrated the rear controlled by the national army from a water pool that was ignored by both sides.
The flames of war were left far behind, and the smoke of gunfire gradually dissipated. Gao Dong saw a large field, although the war was raging in front of him, but it seemed that it was not affected by half of the impact, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
Gao Dong couldn't help but sigh, the people here are so happy, they have never been occupied by devils, and they don't know how murderous the devils who are fighting against the national army on the front line are. But Gao Dong hopes that they will always live in such comfort, because that means that no one will die, and their compatriots will always be able to live happily.
The supply point Xu Aiguo mentioned was only 100 kilometers from Chongqing, and they kept moving forward after the place where the two armies were fighting.
Along the way, many troops of the Nationalist Army were encountered, a large number of wounded soldiers were transported by car to the field hospital in the rear, and more reinforcements were pulled to the front line to engage in a long-term tug-of-war with the Japanese.
Gao Dong and they carefully chose the middle of nowhere to march and kept a distance from anyone. This operation is top secret, and the enemy must not be allowed to know their location in advance and make arrangements for their deployment, which would be very dangerous.
Two days later, Xu Aiguo finally led everyone to the designated small village. As soon as they entered the village, Gao Dong and the others were connected to a small thatched hut.
There was a basement in the thatched house, and everyone followed Xu Aiguo into the underground, and the whole village immediately regained its calm after they all went underground, as if nothing had happened.
"Old Xu, how long have you been running this place?" Looking at the huge basement, Tang Wei couldn't help but ask in surprise.
This place is so big that it is ten times larger than the thatched hut that is camouflaged above, and it is no problem to hide thousands of people.
There's everything here. There are all kinds of weapons hanging on the walls, and there are all kinds of radio stations on the table, so it is completely a small integrated base.
Xu Aiguo said lightly: "This entire village belongs to our intelligence department, and the village is full of our agents. Construction began here a few years ago and was not completed for long. ”
He pointed to a pile of ammunition boxes in the corner of the wall and said: "All the weapons and ammunition you need are here, just add what you lack, it's enough!" ”
Tang Wei and the others immediately walked towards those boxes, opened them, and sure enough, all kinds of ammunition were complete, and the ammunition needed for the weapons they carried was also quite a lot.
Xu Aiguo strode in front of Gao Dong: "Chief of Staff, we are not far from Chongqing. This is the old nest of the military-commanders, and it is the area where their activities are most rampant. We have to keep it to a high level of secrecy, otherwise the slightest mistake will lead to a total loss. After all, the Japanese spies are already lurking within the military-command, and if they want to get rid of them, they must fight with wits and courage! ”
Gao Dong nodded: "You are familiar with underground work, we will listen to you." We are just a sharp knife that is a fatal blow no matter where it is stabbed! ”
