Chapter 493: Arrested
"Oh no, Boss!" Chief of Staff Zhou hurriedly barged in and said with an anxious face: "Yixian has stabbed the basket!" You have to contact Commander Nie immediately, otherwise it will ruin our big business." ”
Political Commissar Cheng happened to be here, discussing with Zheng Weiguo about the formation of a field army, and was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "What kind of basket are you poking?" Was it that the masses were glued to the Japanese army when they were transferred? Are there many casualties? Oh, how did this battle go, an infantry wing made chickens and dogs jump! ”
Chief of Staff Zhou said depressedly: "Where! Zheng Sansheng, the commander of the third regiment, seemed to have eaten gunpowder, and led his troops to fight and rush all the way, almost not driving the 219th Wing back to Gaobeidian. ”
"A local regiment is chasing a wing of the Japanese army?" Political Commissar Cheng slapped his thigh excitedly and said, "This is a good thing, it shows that the effect of our winter and spring military training is obvious!" ”
Chief of Staff Zhou said distressedly: "A good thing is a good thing, but they drove away all the devils, how can our drama continue?" ”
Therefore, when fighting a war, the coordination between various units is the most important thing, otherwise it is very easy for a situation of "demolition" between each other. Just like in the War of Liberation, Commander Han Xianchu once prepared to ambush the New Sixth Army, the pocket arrays were all set, and when he saw that the big fish was about to enter the net, he didn't expect a friendly army to crash out of the oblique stab, and the New Sixth Army was driven away by dividing five by two, and he was stunned to let the duck fly away.
Zheng Weiguo was also crying and laughing at this time, so he had to quickly contact Commander Nie. Fortunately, each regiment of the Eighth Route Army now has a radio station, and the military region can directly command the regiment. Otherwise, it's really troublesome.
After receiving the order of the military district, the 3rd Regiment finally stopped the attack on the 219th Wing of the Japanese Army and began to move towards the southern mountains. The military region sent emergency calls three times and twice, and Regiment Commander Zheng Sansheng also figured it out, and the superiors must have a special plan to lure the devil to Yi County. So when retreating, he also pretended that his ammunition was running low, so as not to be seen by the Japanese army and dare not advance.
"Report to Your Excellency Dazuo, the Chinese army has disengaged and is moving to the south!"
"Nani? Eight ways to run? The Japanese wing commander Oigawa Hachiro Osa was surprised and wondered: "The Eighth Route Offensive is fierce. Why do you want to evacuate on your own initiative? ”
The chief of staff analyzed: "Your Excellency. Judging by the sound of gunfire, it seems that the ammunition of the eight roads is not enough. ”
"Yo Xi!" Oigawa Hachiro Osa said with a happy face: "Fortunately, this is the case, otherwise it would be difficult for us to complete the task on time." ”
The chief of staff of the Japanese army also felt a little afraid, and the offensive of the Eighth Route Army just now was wave after wave. The Japanese positions were like reefs on the shore. Constantly slapped violently. It's almost unbearable.
In fact, in terms of combat effectiveness alone, the Third Regiment is still inferior to the 219th Wing. After all, this third regiment is not the old third regiment before, and the backbone has long been transferred to the temporary first division. And the 219th Wing is not just a "long sapper". At least the brigade led by Hachiro Oigawa himself is quite complete.
It's just that fighting a war is not only about combat effectiveness, but also about morale. After more than half a year of training, the military quality of the officers and men of the three regiments has improved by leaps and bounds, and it is a time when they are full of confidence and strong fighting spirit. On the contrary, the Japanese army had already lost its morale due to lack of supplies. Except for a tiny handful of diehards, no one wanted to fight. Many soldiers have even begun to secretly save money for the passage back to Japan.
An interesting incident happened in the Jizhong base area. Once, a second lieutenant squad leader who had just graduated from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School was about to make a sneak attack on a village in the base area, but unexpectedly met with unanimous opposition from the entire squad.
That squad leader was also full of fascist ideas such as "Great East Asian Holy War" and "shedding the last drop of blood for His Majesty the Emperor". Therefore, despite the strong opposition of his subordinates, he insisted on fighting, but was shot black by angry soldiers on the way.
Like the battle just now, the Japanese army rarely took the initiative to attack, and almost always defended passively. Historically, this phenomenon had only begun to appear in 1944, but now it has appeared two years earlier.
Interestingly, the fierce attack of the third regiment just now caused the Japanese wing commander Oigawa Hachiro to have a misunderstanding. He believes that the troops with such strong combat effectiveness must be the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and fighting so desperately must be to cover the transfer of "important people" - that is, the "high-level of the Second World War Zone" mentioned in the intelligence.
This "discovery" made Oigawa Hachiro not excited, so he led the 219th Infantry Wing to attack desperately, and finally occupied Yi County as scheduled when the Eighth Route Army released water all the way.
When the news came, Andarikura and King Morihito of Higashikure Palace were greatly relieved. Of course, Zheng Huzi and Chief of Staff Zhou were also relieved.
Feng Kun deliberately sneered: "Musashi-kun, the combat effectiveness of the 219th Infantry Wing is really not good, it is so difficult to fight eight roads, I am really worried about our safety." ”
Musashi Kojiro's face suddenly flushed. When the three regiments fought with the 219th Infantry Wing just now, they were all watching the battle from a distance, although the result was that the Japanese army won, but the process was really miserable. Not only Feng Kun, but several other people were also a little worried, for fear that the Eighth Route Army would fight back.
Andali hurriedly said: "Okay, don't talk about it, without further ado, Tanabe-kun, let your people act immediately!" ”
Tanabe Takemori nodded hurriedly and beckoned, "Hurry up, drop quickly, start digging right away!" ”
The Qing Xiling Tomb is the burial place of the four emperors of the Qing Dynasty since the Yongzheng period, with a total of 14 mausoleums, including the Tailing Tomb of Yongzheng, the Changling Tomb of Jiaqing, the Muling Tomb of Daoguang and the Chongling Tomb of Guangxu. In addition, there are 3 mausoleums, as well as several princesses and concubines.
The first stop they chose this time was the Tailing Tomb in Yongzheng, because this tomb is the largest, and the treasures in it may also be the most.
I have to admit that the engineers that Takemori Tanabe found from the engineering department were still very powerful, and after some surveying, he quickly found the entrance to the tomb.
In the past, in feudal society, the tombs of emperors were strictly kept secret. At the time of the closure of the tomb, the last batch of craftsmen will be executed. Because the dead don't leak secrets. However, in the industrial age, the level of exploration was much higher than that of ancient times. Although Tailing has guarded against batch after batch of tomb robbers, in the end it still did not escape this catastrophe.
"Onboard! Onboard! ”
"Rich, we rich!"
After storming the tomb wearing gas masks, these Japanese devils were quickly stunned by the huge wealth inside, and they all talked nonsense, and even went crazy. One by one, they only knew that they desperately stuffed jewels into their arms, and as a result, Yongzhengye's body was also torn apart.
Bang! A gunshot suddenly rang out in the tomb, and everyone was startled and hurriedly stopped what they were doing. Look back. But it was King Morihito of the Higashikure Palace who rushed over angrily.
"Yaga! Isn't this wealth enough for us to share? Look at all of you! ”
Originally, he was the identity of King Morihito of Higashikure Palace. There is no need to come in person, but this wealth is so amazing that it is always difficult to entrust others, and these seven leaders are a little wary of each other. So we just came together. In this way, there is no fear that someone will change their mind halfway.
Nori Kahiko also brought a team of spies to maintain order. and shot and killed several guys who tried to flee with their treasures. Under the joint suppression of the seven big leaders, the situation was finally stabilized. The crowd began to transfer the stolen goods outside the tomb in batches, and the transport team of the Muto Trading Company was already waiting there. In charge of the escort were the military police of the North China Front and the spies of the Third Section of the Special High Division, as well as the personal bodyguards of Muto Trading Company and Mitsui Foundation.
After being busy for most of the day, he finally looted the precious treasures in Tailing. However, they were not prepared to stop there, and their eyes were red with the excitement of the unearthed treasures, and their greed was growing.
Soon, Taidongling, Jiaqing Changling, Changxiling, Daoguang Muling, and Mudongling were murdered one after another. Guangxu Chongling did not move, because this imperial tomb was robbed by a group of ruffians as early as 1931 when the warlords were fighting, and most of the burial goods in the tomb were robbed, along with the tombs of Empress Longyu and Jin Guifei (tomb robbers thought it was Concubine Zhen, Khan).
After nearly a week of tossing and turning, it was not easy to finish moving the precious items that accompanied the burial, and it was enough to fill more than 50 Dodge trucks. In fact, there are still many things that cannot be transported, so you can only pick up valuable items and load them first.
"Rich!"
"We're going to get rich!"
The members of the Japanese tomb raiders rejoiced and hugged each other excitedly. However, just as they were about to set off, a piece of bad news came - they were surrounded! An army suddenly appeared on the outskirts of Xiling Town and easily routed the 219th Wing, which was protecting them. All intersections are now blocked by this force.
"Nani?" King Shengren of the Higashikure Palace panicked and shouted loudly in fright: "Quick, Muto-kun, Noto-kun, immediately organize a convoy to rush out of the city!" ”
"That's right! When you arrive in Yi County, the main force of the 219th Infantry Wing will come to meet you! ”
……
However, the convoy could not rush out at all, and I don't know when the outside of the road was surrounded by large regiments, and there were hundreds of light and heavy machine guns alone. Rushing out of the gang will only be beaten into a hornet's nest.
"Listen to the thieves inside, you have been surrounded, I order you to surrender immediately on behalf of the Eighth Route Army, otherwise you will be severely punished!"
"What to do, what can I do?" They turned pale with fright and sweated. Even King Morihito of Higashikure Palace is a master of the six gods.
Before they could think about it, the troops outside had already launched an attack under the cover of smoke bombs. The only fighting force among the tomb robbers was the spies under Nori Kahiko, but they were still not comparable to the regular army, and they were quickly eliminated one by one.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I'm the Prince of Japan!"
"Don't move, raise your hands!"
King Morihito of Higashikure Palace did not have the courage to die in the end, and soon, all the members of the entire tomb robbery group were arrested except for those who were killed. Dozens of people from the Higashikure Palace and King Morihito have all been staked, and the interesting thing is that many of them are still full of treasures.
Dozens of Chinese and foreign reporters suddenly ran out, picked up their cameras and snapped, clicked, banged, banged. King Morihito of Higashikure Palace hurriedly tried to dodge, but they were held down by the warriors. Brigadier Wen Bin, who was in charge of the command, turned around and chuckled: "Tomorrow there will be headlines on the front pages of major newspapers!" (To be continued......)
