Chapter 283: Night Attack on Tangshan
"In addition, we rescued about seven or eight thousand of our **** officers and soldiers in several prisoner camps, most of these people were wounded, but some of them could fight directly as long as they were given guns, and this part was about three thousand people, and the opinion of our staff was that it should be formed into two supplementary regiments first."
"Yes!"
"And we have recruited about 10,000 recruits, and we will not be integrated into the combat unit for the time being......"
"I agree!"
……
The meeting lasted for half an hour, and the family background was also figured out, so after calculation, the National Salvation Division is now considered a strong soldier, but it is a little fat.
However, fat is also fat, at least it proves that the National Salvation Division is now capable of fighting the Japanese army.
"Now I command!"
"According to the instructions of Shangfeng, Qiu Qingquan will be the commander-in-chief of the capital's urban defense, I will be the deputy commander-in-chief, and the chief of staff Xie Jiyuan will ......," Leng Feng announced the order loudly.
"Yes!"
"From now on, our task is to block the Japanese army for five days, today is the first day, and there are still four days below, I don't want to be beaten passively, you can all say what you think."
"I also don't agree to be beaten passively, from Songhu to the defense of Nanjing, we are all being beaten passively, but we are beaten, and we still lose Songhu and the capital."
"Take the initiative to attack, we don't have the strength ......"
"Modern warfare is not that more people can defeat fewer people, isn't the Yaksha action team commanded by Commander-in-Chief Leng always defeated more with less, and defeated the strong with the weak?"
"Yes, follow Commander Leng to fight. We haven't suffered a loss! "Feng Sishuo, the leader of the detachment, is the least senior one among the six teams. But he has been fighting with Leng Feng for the longest time. He had not suffered a single defeat against the Japanese army, and the bigger and stronger it was, which made him full of confidence.
"We are not the landlord's family caretaker, we must have an offensive consciousness, we can't just think about defense, we have to always think about attack, weapons are just things you hold in your hands, but you don't have to rely on weapons to fight. There is also a need to rely on brains, the Japanese army is cunning and ferocious, we have to be more cunning and more murderous, I am just making an analogy here, not that everyone should learn from the Japanese army......"
"Next, please ask Staff Officer Long to announce the mission of tonight's night attack on Tangshan!" Leng Feng commanded.
"Yes, Deputy Commander-in-Chief!" Long Yingqin stood up and spread out the folder.
"The No. 1 operational order of the Capital City Defense Command, the Yaksha Special Operations Team carried a radio station to reconnoiter the remnants of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army in Tangshan. Determine a safe and concealed route and teleport the headquarters at any time. At this moment, the Yaksha Einsatzgruppen has already begun to act. ”
"This night attack mission will take the Yaksha battalion as the vanguard, the special operations detachment and the chariot squadron of the head of Xie Jiyuan as the main force, and the second, third, and fifth detachments will each draw out a main battalion to cooperate with the special detachment."
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, why is the special detachment the main force? Can't we? Yang Zengcheng was the first to stand up against it.
"That's right, the special detachment is only 800 people, how can it take on such an important task?"
"Any one of our detachments is stronger than them!"
……
"Quiet, the special detachment is responsible for this night attack mission, it is the result of my overall consideration with the division, there are three reasons, first, several of your detachments after last night's battle, casualties are not small, and today's expanded troops are in urgent need of rest, this is dozens of kilometers of field operations, especially in the detachment, both training quality and endurance are stronger than yours, second, night attacks need to be concealed and capable, the special detachment is only 800 people, strict discipline, if you set up a position to fight, none of you are their opponents, this third, Captain Xie Jiyuan's abilities are above you, don't think I look down on you at this point, if you were in the Sixing Warehouse at the beginning, would you be able to play Captain Xie's results? Leng Feng slapped the table, stopped the mixed discussion, and said heavily.
"Thank you Deputy Commander-in-Chief Leng for your trust, Xie will definitely do his best to complete the task of this night attack." Xie Jiyuan stood up excitedly.
"Captain Xie, I will allocate the tank squadron to you for use, how to use it, you decide for yourself."
"Yes!"
"Your opponent is the remnants of the 16th Division, once you find that the Japanese reinforcements appear, withdraw from the battle immediately, and don't fight with the Japanese army, so as not to fall into their encirclement."
"Xie Jiyuan understands."
"Detachment leaders, the division headquarters will prepare noodles for you, if you have enough, you will go back after eating!" Shen Zhiming stood up and announced before the meeting ended.
"Have food to eat, okay, eat and ......"
"Captain Xie, the commander-in-chief and Master Qiu invite you over, your dinner has been delivered." Xie Jiyuan was invited by Leng Feng Guo Weiquan alone.
"Brother Xie, although we have met before, this is the first time we have talked alone face-to-face, right?" Qiu Qingquan greeted him and invited Xie Jiyuan into the headquarters.
"The division is polite, I have long heard that there is a chief of staff Qiu in the teaching corps, and he will not die in a battle, and he is called Qiu Madman!" Xie Jiyuan smiled.
"Hahaha......" Qiu Qingquan laughed, but he didn't care, he liked the title of "Qiu Maniac".
"Captain Xie!"
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief Leng!" Xie Jiyuan hurriedly stood up and saluted, although Leng Feng was several years younger than him, but he was now his boss, and the rules in this army could not be abolished.
"Welcome home!" After Leng Feng returned the salute, he solemnly stretched out his right hand.
"Thank you!" Xie Jiyuan's eyes turned red in an instant, if it weren't for Leng Feng, he and the brothers of the 524 Regiment probably didn't know when they would be able to regain their freedom, let alone realize the ideal of resisting the country.
"Captain Xie, please be seated!"
"Thank you!" Xie Jiyuan thanked him again.
"Xiao Xia, bring in the noodles of the three of us, and we will talk while eating." Leng Feng commanded Xiao Xia.
"Yes!"
Three bowls of steaming noodles were brought in, and a layer of beef was cut and spread on top, which was of course a captured Japanese canned beef, sprinkled with a little chopped green onion, which was called a fragrant aroma.
"Come, Captain Xie, you're welcome. Not enough yet. This is the noodles that our old master Guo personally hand-handled. Refreshing and chewy. Leng Feng sat down, picked up his chopsticks and took a bite.
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief Leng, you might as well call me Xie Jiyuan directly." In terms of qualifications, Xie Jiyuan is far above Leng Feng, but in terms of combat achievements, Leng Feng is far above him, although military merits are based on seniority, but in the end, he still has to talk about his military exploits.
"That's it. Don't call me Deputy Commander-in-Chief Leng, and I don't call you Captain Xie, how about I call you Lao Xie, and you just call me Xiao Leng? ”
"No, no, it's not appropriate." Xie Jiyuan hurriedly shook his hand.
"What's inappropriate, Brother Ji Yuan, sit down and eat." Qiu Qingquan walked over and beckoned Xie Jiyuan to sit down together.
"Brother Ji Yuan is from Tianjin, can you get used to eating noodles?"
"Yes. We northerners like pasta, just as you southerners like rice. Xie Jiyuan picked up the chopsticks and ate them.
"This old Master Guo's hand-rolled noodles. I ate it once and thought about eating it a second time, this craft is really authentic, and the mixed sauce noodles in old Beijing are not as delicious as he made. Qiu Qingquan said with a smile.
"Well, yes, that's good......"
"Eat more if it's delicious, and then, I'm afraid we won't have time to eat quietly." Leng Feng said with a smile, he was telling the truth, he would have to face nearly 50,000 elite Japanese soldiers next, and he didn't even have an estimated time to sleep, how could he think of eating a meal so quietly now?
"Lao Xie, tonight's actions, two words, dense and ruthless." Leng Feng said as he ate.
"Dense and ruthless?"
"This operation, to be strictly confidential, not to let the Japanese army notice, of course, we are now blocking all the gates of Nanjing, Japanese spies and traitors do not know our true situation at all, but we should not take it lightly, this operation, the Yaksha battalion will be disguised as the Japanese army who broke out of Nanjing, so as to avoid the Japanese army from detecting ...... in advance"
Xie Jiyuan nodded, he understood this truth.
"Although your special detachment is only 800 people, they are all veterans of a hundred battles, this time I chose you to carry out the mission, and Qiu Shizuo and I also decided after careful consideration, I know that you have suffered a lot in the Japanese prisoner of war camps, you need revenge, you need to breathe a sigh of relief."
Xie Jiyuan choked up with excitement as he ate, didn't these people think so, they wanted to fight a battle to prove themselves, to prove that although they had been captured, the enthusiasm of the heart of resisting Japan and saving the country was still there.
At this time, Leng Feng made such a decision and reused them, which is to give them a chance to prove themselves.
"Lao Xie, I know you are holding your breath, but how to let this breath out, you can't be rash, I invite you to stay for dinner with Shizuo, I also want to hear your opinion on the raid on the remnants of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army tonight." Leng Feng asked.
Xie Jiyuan put down his chopsticks, thought about it seriously and said: "I am in favor of tonight's raid, the new defeat of the Japanese army is the time when morale is low, if we don't take the opportunity to give him another time, I will not be reconciled." ”
"Hehe, I'm not reconciled, in fact, tonight's raid is very risky, I and the division selected the troops to carry out this mission, think about it, and only you are suitable." Leng Feng said.
"Lao Xie, if you fight this battle, you can at least buy us half a day to a day."
"Well, if we have a little more time now, we will increase our strength a little more, although it is impossible for us to reorganize more troops at once, but at least we can let the troops run in a little more, and the combat effectiveness will be enhanced."
"Lao Xie, eat quickly, it will be uncomfortable to enter your stomach when it is cold."
"Oh......"
The three of them finished eating the noodles in the bowl: "Xiao Xia, inform the kitchen, prepare supper tonight, just this noodle, bring me another bowl." ”
"Yes!"
"Lao Xie, the shelter set up by the remnants of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army in Tangshan, their headquarters is located in the Tangshan Artillery School, which is in this position, at present, according to reconnaissance, they have successively accommodated four or five thousand people, and they are being reorganized, and the reinforcements of the Third Division have also arrived in Jurong, just a forward, there is a brigade, and the follow-up troops are still on the way, and it is expected that they will arrive one after another tomorrow morning." Leng Feng took the map and spread it out on the table.
"The Japanese army served as a guard in the area from Qingma to Qilinmen, if we were going to raid Tangshan, so we would not take the Beijing-Hangzhou Highway, from Taipingmen to the fork in the road, take the Xianhe Gate, and then directly insert it from behind the Japanese army, and go straight to the Japanese headquarters." Leng Feng said.
"Good!"
"We will arrange the best guide for you, and our reconnaissance team will report to you in time if the enemy situation changes along the way." Leng Feng put away the map, handed it to Xie Jiyuan and said, "Bring this map for you, immediately assemble the team and prepare to set off, in order to save physical strength, I have prepared fifteen trucks for you, as well as twenty carriages." ”
"Great." Xie Jiyuan was very excited.
"Besides, if you have any other requirements, hurry up now, otherwise it will be too late." Leng Feng raised his wrist and glanced at it.
"Can you get us two rifles?"
"I'll give you four, how about a base for each cannon?" Leng Feng thought for a moment and said.
"Medium!"
"Old Xie, I wish us a successful raid!"
"Definitely!"
Xie Jiyuan left, left without hesitation, and the things that Leng Feng promised him were quickly in place, fifteen cars, twenty carriages, and thirty war horses, and of course four 92 infantry guns, as well as one base number of shells for each gun, a total of one hundred and twenty.
Even when the four elements were played, the 524th Regiment had never been so arrogant, and for tonight's raid, Leng Feng really invested a lot of money.
The 800 men of the special detachment, plus the main battalion drawn from the detachments, add up to 1,000 people, a total of 1,800 people, all fully loaded and full of fighting spirit.
Leng Feng really wants to lead the team to the battlefield by himself, but he is in this position, there is really no way to go to the front line to fight happily, maybe, in the next battle in Xuzhou, he will have this opportunity.
After the air raids during the day, the people in the city began to accept the arrangements of the 'Provisional Management Committee', and the tragic bombing and the ruins of the safe area made the people's luck in Nanjing disappear.
Especially when they see that their homes have been destroyed and their relatives have been killed, even if they are reluctant to leave their homeland, they can only choose to leave with their families.
If you stay, you will be killed by the Japanese if you don't starve to death, and everyone is naturally clear in their hearts about how to choose.
The Japanese army may have sensed the attempt of the National Salvation Division, and in the evening, they sent bombers to wake up the city of Nanjing with an indiscriminate and intensive bombardment, destroying countless houses and killing and wounding many people.
"Tomorrow the Japanese bombing will be more frequent, there are fewer and fewer people in Nanjing, even if the bombing is flat, it doesn't matter, we will build it again in the future, but we need to transport so many people to Jiangbei District, it's okay at night, the Japanese planes won't be dispatched, what should we do during the day?"
"It's easy to do, aren't there many Japanese expatriates in Nanjing, we can put them on the deck of the ferry, and if they want to blow them up, we will blow up our compatriots first." Leng Feng sneered.
"That doesn't seem humane, does it?"
"Then we have to ask the Japanese army about their own inhumanity, bombing civilians, massacring civilians, they will be humane, don't care about other people's opinions, the important thing is to let our people evacuate Nanjing safely, and leave other merits and demerits to future generations to comment."
"Then how do these Japanese expatriates settle in Jiangbei?"
"Give our people a talisman first, as for what to do, as long as we don't massacre the civilian people, as for them dying under our own bombs and bullets, then it's not up to us."
(To be continued.) )
