Chapter 267: The Battle Horn
Qinglong Mountain Anti-Japanese Corps, Wild Wolf Valley Base.
"Welcome home the anti-Japanese heroes!"
As soon as the officers and men of the former "prisoners of war" lined up in a column looked up, they saw a huge banner hanging in front of the central gate of the camp.
Seeing this scene, many of the 'captives' were stunned, and they were captured on the battlefield, which they all regarded as a great shame in their hearts.
Even if the captives escape and regain their freedom, in the eyes of many people, those who have been captives are like deserters, and they think that after returning this time, they will definitely be looked down upon, or at least they will be looked down upon.
However, what they never imagined was that the person who greeted them would actually call them "hero", which was simply unexpected.
"When, is this welcoming us?"
"I think so......"
"Are we worthy?"
"Yes, you deserve, although you have become prisoners for various reasons, it is not your fault that you have become prisoners, you have killed the enemy on the battlefield, fought to the death with the enemy, were wounded, were shot, were forced to stay to block the enemy, and finally even captured, but you never wanted to betray our country, this nation, even in the enemy's prisoner of war camps, you still continue to fight, fight the enemy in your own way......"
"Our leader said that it is not shameful to be a prisoner, but it is shameful to be a prisoner and then a traitor!" Liang Dong stood impassionedly in front of the team and said loudly.
"Well said, we will never be traitors or traitors!"
"Expel the Japanese invaders and return my rivers and mountains!"
……
"Together. Going to the national disaster together......"
"Thank you. Thank you......" Xie Jiyuan burst into tears of excitement.
The hearts of all the captured officers and soldiers were suddenly united. At least there are people who have not forgotten them, and have not regarded him as a sinner.
"What are the people doing?"
"What slogan do they seem to be shouting?"
Kenji Dohihara has a dark face, he is a China expert, of course he understands what he is shouting, and letting go of these people may be a huge mistake.
But in order to exchange for his own prisoners of war, and for the face of the Japanese Empire. This deal has to be done. Otherwise, the Japanese Empire would lose face in the international arena.
In front of the base of Wild Wolf Valley, a blue sky and white sun flag fluttered in the wind, which was the flag of the Republic of China brought back by the lonely military camp.
After a brief flag-raising ceremony, the POWs were temporarily housed in the Wolf Valley camp.
After a brief announcement of a few disciplines, everyone entered their respective military tents and resettlement sites according to the arrangement to rest, recuperate from the wounded, and of course, treat the wounded.
Most of these national prisoners of war were abused in prisoner-of-war camps, even if they could walk and run. It is not a healthy person either, and there are many injuries.
If it weren't for Xie Jiyuan, they would have purchased this batch of medicines. It's really a bit of a hassle.
"Chief Xie, we are leaving, and the Wild Wolf Valley camp is going to be handed over to you." Liang Dong sent someone to invite Xie Jiyuan over and said to Xie Jiyuan solemnly.
"You're leaving?"
"We have a big plan of action tonight, the name of the plan is: Chinese New Year's Eve, codename: New Year." Liang Dong explained.
"You've got action, and it's still tonight?" Xie Jiyuan's mouth opened wide in surprise.
"Yes, this plan has been in the works for more than a month, and the time has come to implement it, and the time for action is tonight." Liang Dong Road.
"Can we ......?"
"In this plan, Chief Xie is also among them, and your task is to stay in the Qinglong Mountain camp and hold off the Japanese troops stationed in Qiligang until noon tomorrow at the latest." Liang Dong said solemnly, "I will leave a platoon to cooperate with you, they are familiar with the environment here." ”
"Okay, but we have weapons, but no ammunition?"
"This Chief Xie can rest assured, we will leave you a batch of ammunition, and a battalion of Japanese-style equipment, you can select a group of reliable people from the prisoners of war who are exchanged for them, and temporarily form a battalion, so that Chief Xie has enough strength in his hands to deal with the Japanese army."
"Okay, I've taken the task, but can I know the specifics of the plan?" Xie Jiyuan agreed without thinking.
This time, he had such an important task entrusted to him, and he was still confronting the Japanese army head-on, he couldn't hold it anymore.
People didn't regard these captured people as guilty people at all, so honest and honest, how could he Xie Jiyuan be the one who was greedy for life and afraid of death?
"Recover Nanjing!"
"What?" Xie Jiyuan was so shocked that he almost bit off the tip of his tongue.
"Our plan is only a temporary recovery of Nanjing, not permanent, and the most fundamental purpose is to evacuate Nanjing." Liang Dong explained.
"Evacuate Nanjing?" In this way, Xie Jiyuan felt that it was more reliable, this was to recover Nanjing, even if he didn't know much about the current battle situation, it would be an impossible thing.
At least not yet.
"We secretly reorganized the lost officers and men of the Nationalist Army into a division in the Nanjing International Security Zone, and prepared to act tonight, seize Nanjing, and then use the ferry to withdraw to Jiangbei."
"Wasn't Jiangbei occupied by the Japanese army?" Xie Jiyuan asked in surprise.
"Although Jiangbei was occupied by the Japanese army, the third division of the Japanese army in Jiangbei was fighting fiercely with our army in Chuxian and Chihe areas, and at this moment our troops on the shore were empty, which was suitable for us to cross the north, and after we crossed the river, we could also threaten the rear of the Japanese army, which was a matter of killing two birds with one stone." Liang Dong explained.
"So that's the case, I understand, but there must be a lot of Japanese troops in Nanjing, and you only have one division, what about weapons and ammunition?" Xie Jiyuan asked.
"Here, Chief Xie, you don't have to worry, we have our own methods, and if we don't have all the preparations, we won't make this extremely risky plan." Liang Dong smiled, there were some things that had not yet reached the time for in-depth conversation, and it was inconvenient for him to elaborate.
As soon as Liang Dong said this, Xie Jiyuan was even more curious, what was contained in such a bold plan that he didn't dare to think of?
Liberate Nanjing. I'm afraid that no one dares to boast of such a large Haikou now.
The powerful combat power and armament of the Japanese. He saw it with his own eyes. To tell the truth, if it weren't for the advantage of the terrain and the misjudgment and scruples of the Japanese about the concession, they would never have had the opportunity to hold on there for four days and nights.
"Chief Xie, all the troops we left in Qinglong Mountain are under your command, as well as the brothers of the national army who have been exchanged back, you can form a team temporarily, for some identities are difficult to determine. Be observant, but don't involve them in secrecy. Liang Dong admonished.
"Chief Instructor Liang, is there a problem with the brother who came back?"
"Of course, the Japanese are so happy to change people, they won't think of putting some of their own people among our people?" Liang Dong Road.
"Traitor?"
"Whether it's a traitor or their spy, who can trust it and who can't, there's no time to distinguish now, but. As long as they are traitors and spies, sooner or later they will show their feet. It's just a matter of time. Liang Dong said.
Xie Jiyuan nodded thoughtfully, he also hated traitors and spies, although these people were inconspicuous, they had great destructive power.
"Lin Benqin!"
"Here!"
"This is called Lin Benqin, a native of Qinglong Mountain, he is very familiar with the terrain here, especially the cave secret passages and some unknown mountain trails here, he has a living map in his mind, I will leave it to you, Sir Xie, if you want to know anything about the terrain, ask him directly." Liang Dong introduced Lin Benqindao.
"Great, Chief Instructor Liang is too thoughtful." Xie Jiyuan was overjoyed.
"There is another person, his name is Zhang Fengxiang, he is the stationmaster of the original Nanjing Military Command Nanjing Station, I will also leave it for Chief Xie, he is your logistics minister, what you want, you can ask him directly."
"The military commander?" Xie Jiyuan frowned slightly when he heard this.
"Although Zhang Fengxiang is a member of the military command, after this war, he plans to break away from the military command and enter the combat unit, and Chief Xie can use it with confidence." Liang Dong could see that Xie Jiyuan did not have a good impression of the people in the military command, so he hurriedly added an explanation.
"I see."
"Then I'll leave it to Chief Xie here, and we must not let the Japanese see that we have left." Liang Dong Road.
"How did you leave?"
"There is a spider web-like cave labyrinth underneath here, and we leave through the secret passage of the underground cave, without knowing it."
"So that's the case, so as long as we can't beat it and hide underground, won't the Japanese have no choice but to do it?"
"Hehe, otherwise, how could the Japanese negotiate with us to exchange prisoners, they only learned to be obedient after suffering a big loss at our hands." Liang Dong laughed.
"I've heard a long time ago that 'Yaksha' has done many earth-shattering things in Nanjing, and I've been looking forward to seeing you Chief Leng Feng, but I don't know where Chief Leng Feng is now?"
"It won't be long before Chief Xie will be able to see our cold head, but he has been friends with Chief Xie for a long time, and he respects him very much, when you two see each other, you must be old at first sight, and you hate to see each other late haha!" Liang Dong said with a smile.
"I'm really looking forward to it!" Xie Jiyuan took a deep breath, he was sincere in this sentence, and there was no half-falsehood.
"I won't say anything superfluous, Chief Xie, I'm leaving, if I don't leave, it's too late." Liang Dong took out the pocket watch in his pocket and glanced at it.
"Okay, I'll send you." Xie Jiyuan said politely.
"Chief Xie stays, I have to go quietly." Liang Dong smiled.
After explaining to Zhang Fengxiang, Liang Dong set off at the end of the team, and Wu Xinhua and Feng Sishuo had already taken the troops first.
After Liang Dong left, Xie Jiyuan quickly and quietly took over the camp of the Qinglongshan Anti-Japanese Corps in Wild Wolf Valley, with the assistance of Zhang Fengxiang, all of this was carried out quietly.
In order to keep it secret, Xie Jiyuan only told Yang Rui and Shangguan Zhibiao the news that Liang Dong and others were leaving, and the company commanders under him didn't say anything.
Only the lone battalion is a complete team all the time, and they have always been training, and their military quality has not only not decreased, but has been greatly improved in that adversity, and their spiritual realm is also much higher.
Therefore, as long as the weapons and equipment are in place, the lone army camp is a team that can be pulled out at any time and can be beaten loudly.
Yang Rui and Shangguan Zhibiao were very excited, as soon as they regained their freedom, they encountered such a big action, and people trusted them so much, as soon as they came, they handed over the "old nest" to them to guard, is this something that ordinary people can do?
Curiosity, surprise, and an indescribable sense of excitement.
From a guest to a host, he is somewhat uncomfortable, but the soldier is originally adaptable, let alone a person who has suffered hardships.
Of course, it is not without doubts that the "Yakshas" did not leave them behind to attract the attention of the Japanese army, and they themselves quietly slipped away?
This suspicion only flashed in Xie Jiyuan's mind, and then it was rejected, if this was the case, why did they still leave people to cooperate with them, as well as the detailed information of the Japanese army, and the materials worth 100,000 US dollars.
That's 100,000 dollars, not a small number, who can easily give up these things, not to mention, there are life-saving things in it.
In the Nanjing International Security Zone, the general headquarters of the "Chinese New Year" operation is located in the management building of Jinling University.
"What time is it, and the boss hasn't woken up yet?" Guo Weiquan is now Leng Feng's adjutant general, and the big and small affairs related to Leng Feng's personal affairs are all handled by him, and if he can't handle it, he will report to Leng Feng and let him handle it himself.
"Since 12 o'clock at noon, it has been almost five hours now, and this operation is about to begin, but he, the commander-in-chief, is still sleeping profusely...... "In the command headquarters, officers at all levels are full of black lines, and they don't know what to say.
That's a great heart.
Yes, this war is about to start, and the director is still sleeping, is there such irresponsibility?
"Shizao, do you want Adjutant Guo to go in and call it, and then go to sleep, it's time to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." Long Yingqin whispered to Qiu Qingquan.
Qiu Qingquan glared at him, he could still sleep so soundly before the big battle, what a calm state of mind this must be, if it was him, he couldn't do it at all, since the plan was finalized yesterday, he hadn't slept seriously, and he was woken up by various expected situations for a while.
"It's useless, if you pass the level of Cong Hu, you can't pass the level of Director Wu." Liao Sen said with a sneer.
"Why?" Long Yingqin is gone, this is not a parent, Wu Xiaoyun is too domineering, she even cares about the life of the chief?
"Why, because she is Wu Xiaoyun, no one can stop what she wants to do, not to mention, this is still an order given by Chief of Staff Leng himself." Liao Sen explained.
"Cold's order from Chief of Staff?" Hearing this, Long Yingqin was a little stunned, and many people felt that this chief of staff and commander-in-chief were a little too casual.
"Okay, Chief of Staff Leng said, he will wake up at five o'clock." Liao Sen already understood the situation, so he was not as urgent as others.
After about ten minutes, Leng Feng walked out of the room in good spirits, and he was really refreshed and his brain was much faster.
He knows very well that he will have very little time to rest in the future, and it is even possible to go sleepless for days and nights, so seize every minute of time he can rest to meet the next big battle.
Anyway, the tasks have been explained, even if there is any situation, Qiu Qingquan's ability to deal with these people can't be handled, he can't grasp everything in his own hands, and rush to do all the work, what do others do, this is a thankless thing.
It's better to find a place and Meimei sleep first. (To be continued.) )
