Chapter 57: Strike Again
Didi ......, in the tent where the radio station was placed, with the continuous supply of power from the small generator, the radio station was finally started, and Liu Ruhan sat in front of him with headphones and manipulated it attentively, no stranger than Wu Ming and them.
Soon, with the help of the ciphertext, Liu Ruhan obtained a number of messages that he was eager to know and translated them one by one.
The above content is similar to what Qiao Youhua guessed, it is the latest progress of the two major battlefields in the north and south, as well as some anti-Japanese and rescue notices issued by the national government.
"The Battle of Songhu is in full swing, Shanxi has also been invaded by the Japanese army, and the Chinese nation has reached the most dangerous moment." Liu Ruhan looked at the telegrams in his hand, and his pretty face was full of shock and sorrow.
Qiao Youhua said: "In fact, it was correct for the Nationalist Government to start a war with the Japanese army in Songhu, so that the main force of the Japanese army was attracted to the Jiangnan water network area, and these complex water network areas were not as good as the Pingchuan in North China and the Central Plains, and the Japanese army's mechanization and firepower superiority would be greatly discounted."
Otherwise, if the Central Plains is not protected, the Chinese nation will be really in danger.
It's just that in this way, once the Battle of Songhu fails, Nanjing, as the current national capital, will be in danger. ”
"The heroic **** will not fail, and we will definitely be able to win the battle of Songhu." Liu Ruhan said.
Of course, Qiao Youhua would not argue with her, let alone tell her that not only would Songhu be defeated, but also a large area of Jiangnan such as Nanjing would fall.
Moreover, even if she sues her now, she will not believe it.
Anyway, there are still more than two months before the start of the defense of Nanjing, as long as he has this secret code, Qiao Youhua is not in a hurry to implement his plan.
Since the failure of the defense of Nanjing is inevitable, but the evacuation of the people and materials in the national capital can be transferred in advance, so that at least the Japanese army can temporarily avoid the edge of the Japanese army, as for whether the Japanese army will carry out atrocities elsewhere in the future, it is not within the scope of Qiao Youhua's consideration.
Because Nanjing was the national capital of China at this time, and after three months of bloody battles in the Battle of Songhu, although the Japanese army in Central China won the victory, the casualties were also heavy, you must know that the Nationalist Government at that time invested the most elite army of more than 800,000 troops, and all the German-style elite troops of Chairman Chiang were thrown into it.
It seemed logical that the Japanese army, who had suffered heavy casualties, carried out atrocities in the city of Nanking in the hope of venting their hatred and deterring the Chinese resistance.
Therefore, in the case that Nanjing cannot be defended, the best way is to evacuate the 700,000 innocent people inside and outside the city as much as possible and move them to other places.
"Miss Liu, the radio station is for you to take care of, it's best to find a way to listen to the telegrams of the Japanese troops around us, this will be of great benefit to us, the two major battlefields in the north and south are too far away from us, we can't take care of it, but no matter what, we are the first to grow stronger.
Only when you are strong can you fight the Japanese invaders and defend more people, right? Qiao Youhua said.
Liu Ruhan nodded undeniably, and when she saw that Qiao Youhua was leaving, she suddenly said, "Call me Ruhan in the future." ”
"It's better to be respectful than to obey!" Qiao Youhua showed a very unbeaten smile, which made Liu Ruhan blush and glance at him.
Qiao Youhua left the communication room, he still had very important things to do, although more than two hundred captives were flickered by his call, they joined the Dragon Tooth Task Force.
But there is still a lot to do before they can form a fighting force and become a part of the real Dragon's Tooth Task Force, and the top priority is to take them out to fight, preferably the devils.
Because these guys have never won a battle since they came to the puppet army, they have been traitors to the devil for a long time, and they are used to the atrocities of the devil, and they have a natural fear of the devil.
The only way to overcome this fear was to win a hearty victory, build up their confidence in the Japanese army, and at the same time, fight to refine them into the Dragon's Tooth Task Force.
Therefore, Qiao Youhua's top priority is to take them to fight, and there is no need to rush these things for a while, but the Japanese army may come on a large scale at any time to encircle and suppress the task force.
So, just in case, in order for them to truly become a member of the task force, this battle must be inevitable.
Zhengding County has now become an ownerless empty city, and the devils in the direction of Shimen are estimated to be like they have taken aphrodisiacs, and they are in high spirits waiting to fight the task force.
And this time it was just a military training, of course Qiao Youhua would not take the initiative to provoke the devils in Shimen, but once again set his eyes on the Japanese strongholds along the railway.
Early in the morning, Liu Yidao was ordered to go out with the elite of the reconnaissance platoon, and according to Qiao Youhua's instructions, he went to a small station along the railway north of Shimen to conduct on-the-spot reconnaissance.
Qiao Youhua came to the training ground, looked at his watch, and said to himself, it's time to come back.
The main force of the Dragon's Tooth Task Force on the training ground is undergoing daily training, and with the addition of more than 200 captives, the size of the task force has nearly doubled.
The strength of the army has reached more than 400 people, but the establishment has not changed, because these 400 people are an embarrassing number, and it is obviously not enough to change it into three companies.
Therefore, Qiao Youhua had an idea and reorganized the original platoon into a squadron, the reconnaissance platoon, the guard platoon, and the machine gun platoon remained unchanged, and the three main platoons became three squadrons, and in terms of numbers, each squadron reached more than 110 people, which can basically reach the size of a company.
In this way, with the squadron as the establishment, and also echoing the number of the Dragon's Tooth Task Force, Qiao Youhua has also changed from a captain to a captain.
After the two battles of Zhengding County and Yongling River ambush, a total of about 600 rifles, 15 light machine guns, and 12 grenadiers were captured.
As well as twenty-two grenadiers and four mortars, there are almost more than two rifles, and there is plenty of ammunition, in a word, Qiao Youhua is now a local tyrant, and he is quite "rich".
The two heavy machine guns were all equipped with a platoon of machine guns, and the light machine guns were equipped with an average of three squadrons, almost each squadron reached the size of ten, which was not far behind the regular field troops of the Japanese army.
Several war horses galloped from the road outside the village, and when they were about to reach the outside of the village, they suddenly turned their heads on the village road and walked towards the sorghum field, and came to Qiao Youhua in a circle.
Because of the mines planted on the village road, Zheng Village has gradually developed into a hedgehog village, and its surroundings are gradually surrounded by traps, tricks, and minefields, and only the task force and the people of the village can avoid them and enter and exit safely.
The person who came was Liu Yidao and them sent out by Qiao Youhua, they were originally bandits, and their equestrian skills were not bad, so they could run back and forth so quickly on a war horse.
Liu Yidao and the others turned over and dismounted, Qiao Youhua asked with a smile, "How is it?" Got the situation figured out? ”
Liu Yidao took the lead in saluting, and hurriedly replied: "I figured it out, Erdaogouzi Station is thirty miles away from Shimen, and there is a total of a squad of devils and a platoon of puppet troops stationed there, and in terms of weapons, it should be equipped with several light and heavy machine guns." ”
"A squad of devils, we can still eat it." Qiao Youhua Huo Ran said: "Pass my order, gather all, and attack again!" ”
