Chapter 151: Fighting the Kwantung Army (6)
"What do you say? The Kwantung Army has already had four outgoing squads attacked? And on the same day? "Receiving the news from the inside line from the headquarters of the Kwantung Army in Harbin, Xie Jishan couldn't sit still. How could he not know the combat effectiveness of the Kwantung Army after being lurking in Harbin for many years, if a small squad of the Kwantung Army could contain an infantry company of the National Army, Xie Jishan did not think it was a joke at all.
If you replace the strength of the Thunder according to this standard, and want to deal with four Kwantung Army squads at the same time, the Thunder can't do it without 700 people, can it really come to the 700-person force? The answer is naturally no, because Chen Yanqiu saw with her own eyes that there were only 8 planes coming that night, and 8 planes could not fit 700 people. There have always been guerrillas of the Chinese Communist Party in the vicinity of Harbin.
Xie Jishan, who was full of questions, was listless all day, and even made mistakes one after another when settling accounts for the drinkers, which caused the regulars to laugh at Xie Jishan This is a symptom of old age and confusion. "How? Is there any change on the CCP's side? It was getting dark, and it wasn't until the tavern was about to close that Xie Jishan saw Chen Yanqiu who was in a hurry, and after Xie Jishan received the news from the insider, he informed Chen Yanqiu to find out about Bai Shaofeng's movements, and now is the time to reveal the mystery.
"There is no change, I went to Bai Shaofeng's bookstore to see it, and Bai Shaofeng also just learned about it, it seems that they are even more confused than us." Chen Yanqiu, who had found nothing, was a little depressed. Although the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have always said that they will cooperate to resist Japan, the intelligence personnel on both sides lurking in the enemy-occupied areas are still fighting their own battles, and the intelligence officers with the prefix of the national character have always regarded themselves as orthodox, as the number two person in the Harbin Intelligence Station of the Military Command, Chen Yanqiu's initiative to come to the door has given the CCP a great face, but the annoying Bai Shaofeng has not leaked out at all.
"This is strange, neither we nor the CCP side have helped, so how did Thunder manage to attack four Kwantung Army squads in a row on the same day? Even if the combat effectiveness of the Thunder mercenaries is stronger than that of the Kwantung Army, how did they determine the route of those squads of the Kwantung Army? Xie Jishan took out a cigarette and lit it, but this time he didn't put the cigarette between his fingers, but directly put it on his mouth and smoked it.
"Could it be that the CCP is telling a lie, maybe Thunder has reached a private deal with them, and all the information provided to Thunder by the CCP is otherwise, this matter doesn't make sense." Although Chen Yanqiu had a bad impression of Bai Shaofeng's group, she was now doing intelligence analysis, so she didn't fall into the trap, but just made an objective analysis.
"Well, that's the only explanation that makes sense." Xie Jishan nodded in agreement, Harbin only has their military commanders and the CCP underground party lurking, and Thunder rose from Shanxi and then went south to Burma, it is impossible for them to plant intelligence agents in the northeast. Moreover, the Kwantung Army controls the Northeast like an iron bucket, and it is impossible for the military commander to send other people to help, the only explanation can only be the CCP, which should be the same as Chen Yanqiu's analysis, the CCP's intelligence station in Harbin has reached a private deal with Thunder.
Harbin is the largest city in Northeast China, the most famous heavy industry base in Northeast China, and even a military production base. But since the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, this has become a place where the little devils in the north and the east are fighting around, and no matter how they fight, they have not fallen into the hands of the Chinese. Looking at this city full of vicissitudes, Zhao Zhi couldn't help but sigh leisurely, how many beautiful pieces of land fell into the hands of others, and they tossed it, and they moved away a lot of wealth.
When Xie Jishan and Chen Yanqiu were analyzing information in the cellar in the backyard of the tavern, Zhao Zhi had already infiltrated Harbin with a few relatives, and when he entered Harbin, Zhao Zhi was also careful. There are three divisions of heavy troops stationed here, and no matter how powerful Thunder is, it is impossible for Zhao Zhi and others to resist the Kwantung Army of the three divisions. However, there are many people outside, and it is convenient to fish in troubled waters, and if you want to attract the attention of the Kwantung Army, Zhao Zhi will obviously not be able to do it without some means.
If you want to make the Kwantung Army panic like ants on a hot pot, it is obviously impossible to just attack a few of their small troops, and Zhao Zhi attacked those small troops of the Kwantung Army just to get their uniforms. After wandering around the streets of Harbin for more than 2 hours, Zhao Zhi appeared diagonally opposite the Kwantung Army Headquarters, wearing glasses and carrying a book in his hand, Zhao Zhi looked like a student who could only read, and the Japanese patrols who came and went around the Kwantung Army Headquarters did not look at him at all, and such a guy was no threat to them at all.
Zhao Zhi wandered around outside the Kwantung Army Headquarters for a long time, and even changed his clothes and costumes in the middle, leaving them with little time. The news just received from the Soviets shows that the 731 Defense Station has produced a batch of bacteriological bombs and is ready to be shipped south to the Philippine battlefield in three days, if Zhao Zhi can't intercept them before they set off, maybe the American troops on the Philippine battlefield will be severely damaged.
"Go back" gave Ye Kong on the corner of the street a vague gesture, Zhao Zhi turned around and left, the Kwantung Army Headquarters was tightly defended and it was difficult to start, Zhao Zhi observed for more than an hour, but he didn't find a loophole that could be used. He only brought 100 people, even if these mercenaries were all good at choosing one in a thousand miles, Zhao Zhi was unwilling to let them die in vain, maybe it would be better to change the target.
"Immediately contact the CCP people and ask them for information about Harbin Airport, and make an appointment in more detail." It is not only the Kwantung Army Command that can be used as an important target, and perhaps the impact of destroying their airfield will be greater. Three hours later, Zhao Zhi got the information he wanted, and it seems that the CCP's latent intelligence station in Harbin attaches great importance to this cooperation, not only to bring intelligence, but also to send two guides who are familiar with the terrain of the airport to guide the route.
Like most Japanese airfields, Harbin Airport was heavily guarded, but the defense of the airfield was looser than that of the heavily guarded Kwantung Army Headquarters, because the Kwantung Army garrison at the airfield did not believe that the anti-Japanese organization would have the courage to storm an airfield guarded by an entire infantry wing. At the airport north of Harbin, there is a wing of the Kwantung Army and a Japanese flying team, and more than 100 planes of various types are parked here.
In the vicinity of the airport, a cavalry wing of the Eastern Army assisted in the defense, large searchlights were all over the perimeter of the airport, and a small team patrolled every 15 minutes, and the entire airport was heavily defended by the Japanese army. "Remember, ten minutes, we only have ten minutes to deal with their patrols, the rest of the time to change clothes and equipment, we must move quickly, once there is a mistake, what awaits us is to flee for our lives." The mercenaries gathered around Zhao Zhi nodded, they had been lying here for more than 2 hours, and they had initially figured out the rules of the airport guards.
"Start the operation after dark, Yezi, you take someone to take charge of the perimeter of the airport, I will take people in, all the planes, fuel depots, weapons depots, and pilots in the airport are our targets. Remember, this operation is not a joke, we all use silencers to be ruthless, and any small mistake can make us all planted here, so we only kill people and don't take things, and we have to get in and out quickly. Zhao Zhi looked around at the several mercenary squad leaders around him with warning eyes, he was afraid that these guys would be distracted by rare objects when they attacked, which would lead to the exposure of their actions.
"Got it" The squad leaders nodded heavily, and after checking the time on their watches, they crawled into the distance with their weapons, and the route of the airport defenders patrolling was two hundred meters in front of them. The shooting distance of 200 meters is too close for these carefully selected mercenaries, but Zhao Zhi's request is that the movement is as small as possible, so these brave guys plan to continue to crawl forward, with the help of the camouflage net on their bodies, some guys even dug a pit on the side of the road and fell into it in disguise, they were only ten meters away from the patrol route of the Japanese army.
"Sir, what should those two CCP people do?" The team leaders were busy, the motor with oil paint on their faces came over, and the two people sent by the CCP to lead the way were not simple at first glance, Zhao Zhi could see the murderous spirit from their bodies and eyes, these two people definitely didn't just think of it, maybe it was possible that the CCP sent them to steal the teacher and learn the arts, so when Zhao Zhi was arranging the task, he kept letting the motor accompany the two people to stay in the depression behind.
"They have their own guns on them, leave a few grenades for them, and let them wait for us to evacuate at the predetermined place, and you tell them that if they are left alone, they will have to rely on themselves." Zhao Zhi replied slowly while smearing oil paint on his face. Attacking the airport, Zhao Zhi only brought 60 mercenaries, and Yan Wudao took the remaining 40 mercenaries to the 731 defense post to do a hidden reconnaissance in advance, if everything goes well, Zhao Zhi will rush to Yan Wudao's side by car after hitting the airport, and then take advantage of the panic of the Kwantung Army to directly take the 731 defense post.
Zhao Zhi's plan was indeed a bit big, and in the face of a whole Japanese infantry wing guarding the airport, his 60 people were simply not worth mentioning. However, this is how Zhao Zhi's attack on the airport can be successfully implemented, not only the Kwantung Army does not believe that anyone is rushing to attack the airport, but even the two guides sent by the CCP to lead the way also think like this. But the more impossible it is, the more it will be possible, what Thunder has been doing is impossible, and what Zhao Zhi has to do is only blow up the plane in the airport, not to capture here.
