Chapter 225 Heavenly Divine Soldiers Section 1 Disembowelment in front of the headquarters
Shimizu Osa cut off his finger and stopped a mutiny, this is not over, several Zhongsa and Shaosa also cut off their fingers in front of the plane in order to express their anger and follow Shimizu Osa to the death, and asked Shimizu Osa to take it to the front army headquarters together!
The soldiers went back to their camps and defense areas one after another, and Shimizu Daisa breathed a sigh of relief, got dressed with the help of the adjutant, talked to the pilot again, set the take-off time, and then went back to rest.
Before dawn, the eastern skyline was slightly white, dozens of Japanese soldiers pushed the plane to the northernmost part of the runway, and the thin Shimizu Daizo squatted into the cabin, wrapped his coat tightly, held the saber in his hand, nodded to the pilot expressionlessly, signaling that he could take off!
In the pre-dawn darkness, the propellers of the reconnaissance planes began to turn, the wings and fuselage began to shake from slow to fast, and a thin layer of ice on the skin was shaken down with a pop.
The plane began to slide, slowly gliding south in the dark on the rough runway, gradually picking up speed, and the roar of the engines getting louder and louder! Since there was no lighting on the runway, the pilots had to roughly follow the improvised white indicator strips to identify the direction of the run.
On the position of the 17th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army near Miaogou Gate on the south bank of the Tang River, the soldiers who took turns guarding were faintly hearing a buzzing sound from the north, but nothing could be seen in the north in the dark, and the sound was getting louder and louder, and they could not hear the sharp sound of the cannonball flying, and they were still looking at it in wonder, and suddenly a big guy above his head swept over quickly!
The machine gunner subconsciously picked up the machine gun and swept it towards the big guy who flew over, but unfortunately the speed was too fast, and suddenly it broke into the darkness, and it was invisible, and the experienced veterans said that this must be the little devil's plane taking off in the dark.
The devil's pilots were also terrified. He has not been trained to fly at night, and besides, his kind of reconnaissance plane is not a night plane, there is no radar on board, and after forced takeoff. He almost broke into the mountains and crashed into the cliffs, and if he hadn't desperately pulled up the fuselage and walked around diagonally, he would have crashed into the cliffs at the mouth of the valley.
After reaching the cruising altitude and setting the nose of the plane to the northeast, both Shimizu and the pilot breathed a sigh of relief, and Shimizu Osaku reached out a hand and patted the pilot's shoulder to express his gratitude.
After a flight of more than an hour, it was pretty good. The dismantled equipment and unimportant parts weighed heavier than Shimizu Daisa's, and the fuel it carried was supported to the Nanyuan Airport in Peiping, and the airport tower was overjoyed when it heard that yesterday's report that a reconnaissance plane that had broken down and landed in the mountains had returned, and they hurriedly cleared the runway. Let the reconnaissance plane land.
After the plane came to a standstill, the ground crew boarded the plane, only to find that in the cabin behind the pilot's seat, there was still a person wrapped in two coats! This man's legs can't even stand upright! His whole body was stiff, his face was full of white and miserable ice ballast, and the beard around his mouth was white with frost.
It took a long time to remove the pilot's seat. Only then did he carry out the almost frozen man in the cabin and send him to the airport's emergency room for emergency treatment for a long time before he rescued the almost unconscious man, and from the epaulettes of the military uniform, it was obvious that he was the army unit's Dazuo, and at present the officer was speechless, and the pilot who came with him could only report to the military police at the airport that this was His Excellency Shimizu, the wing commander of the special operations wing of the 110th Division.
The gendarmerie checked the person's documents. After confirming that it was correct, he immediately reported to the military police headquarters in Beiping, and the military police headquarters of Beimao Dazuo did not dare to slack off, and reported to the headquarters of the North China Front Army without stopping, and it was a coincidence that the teacher of Shimizu Dazuo. The chief of staff of the front army happened to be at the headquarters, and immediately ordered to send a special car to take the people to the army hospital in the city first!
The chief of staff immediately guessed what Shimizu Daizo was doing when he came back from death, and he was going to go to the hospital to see his students before Shimizu recovered, and by the way, he would reveal some new information to him.
It turned out that some high-ranking officials of the North China Front and the Army Headquarters were quite dissatisfied with Okamura Ninji's plan to carry out a large-scale sweep of the Eighth Route in North China in the spring of '44, because at this time, the Japanese army had lost a series of operations in Southeast Asia and the Pacific, and the operational plan drawn up by the Japanese domestic base camp to open up the mainland lines of communication.
However, the military is the military, politics is the politics, and in the end politics can often influence the military, and no one can change this, under the double pressure of internal and external forces, Senior General Gangmura has his own future, and he is about to take over as the supreme commander of the Chinese dispatch army, and he can only give up the spring sweeping plan that was originally formulated with Shimizu Daisa's special operations wing as the inner line and concentrating three divisions on the centripetal attack.
The three divisions that were preparing for the spring offensive had to begin preparations to transport them to Henan, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and other directions, and even the airlift plan of 500 tons of war materials promised to Qingshui could not be implemented, and at present the 56th Army Aviation Brigade sent all transport planes and bombers to the direction of Zhengzhou to transport supplies and soldiers, and the original supply plan for Shimizu Dazuo was postponed indefinitely.
To put it bluntly, Shimizu Daizuo's special operations wing is currently a chicken rib, and it is quite difficult to let it be withdrawn, the plane can't pick it up, the road is icy and snowy, foreign aid can't get through, and I'm afraid they won't be able to reach a few people for hundreds of miles by themselves.
Don't let them come back, the plan drawn up by the base camp to open up the mainland communication line will start in January, and then there will be no ability to dispatch a large number of ground troops and air forces to meet them to break through, and besides, after the weather warms up, I am afraid that the Eighth Route will also gather a large number of combat troops to besiege the Qingshui Wing.
General Gangmura is also embarrassed about this matter, which is why he has not asked the Shimizu United team in recent days, and he is hesitant to make a move.
When I heard the chief of staff say that Shimizu Daizo had privately found a small plane and came back alone from the war zone, he almost froze to death, and General Gangmura couldn't hold it on his face! This is obviously Qing Shui coming back to ask for an explanation, what should I do? Qing Shui is easy to deal with, the key is what to do with the 3,000 soldiers who walked the horse post?
The headquarters of the front army is going to hold a special meeting to discuss the issue of the special operations wing, and this matter of being busy with the deployment and support of the operation to open up the mainland's lines of communication will postpone the issue of the special operations wing, because in this mainland operation, whether it is the largest joint operation in North China, Central China, South China, and other places, even the Kwantung Army and the Manchurian and Mongolian garrison troops will have to transfer exhibitors and a large number of materials to the south to fight, and the North China region, which is a transit point for transportation, will be mobilized as a whole.
At this juncture, Shimizu Daizo flew back to Beiping alone, the intention was obvious, at this time, the front army could not provide the material assistance promised to him and implement the predetermined battle plan, and General Gangcun could only ask the chief of staff to appease this subordinate first.
After the chief of staff and General Gangmura urgently consulted, they rushed to the army hospital, but they didn't expect it, but they didn't find Shimizu Daisa, it turned out that after Shimizu's body recovered a little, he was able to walk on the ground, so he went to the staff headquarters to find his teacher, and he and the chief of staff had a fork!
I didn't see my teacher at the General Staff Headquarters, and after waiting for a while, Qing Shui heard about this big operation in January from the officers with whom he had a good relationship here, and then looked at the entire staff headquarters building, everyone was busy, and he seemed to understand that the action of the joint operation with this millions of Japanese troops was no, and his 3,000 people had been temporarily forgotten.
Shimizu Daisa sat in the corridor outside the door of the chief of staff's office, looking at these brightly dressed red-faced officers in the city, walking around busy with the affairs of the big battle, and then thinking about his experience of almost freezing to death in the bare engine room, and then thinking about the veterans who surrounded him in the early hours of this morning, and then thinking about the more than ten fingers in his arms, this officer who has always been extremely loyal to Shangfeng and the emperor, angry!
He didn't alarm anyone, found a few blank pieces of paper and a pen, and when he passed by the duty room downstairs, he also took a military flag planted next to the stairs, rolled it up and stuffed it into his coat pocket, and after going out of the gate, stopped a rickshaw on the street and went straight to the headquarters of the front army.
In 1938, the headquarters of the North China Front Army moved from Tianjin to the former site of the Qirui government in the Tieshi Hutong of Beiping, the gate is very magnificent, the stone lion is also tall and mighty, after Qing Shui arrived here, got off the car, looked at so many gendarmes on both sides of the gate, he first hid in the opposite alley, took out a pen and wrote a few big characters on the white paper, and then put the military flag on his body, and slowly walked towards the gate of the headquarters.
At a distance that would not alarm the gendarmes and could be seen by the people at the door, Shimizu Osa sat down, spread the military flag and the white paper with the words written on it on the ground, took off his coat, held the scabbard with his left hand, which was still wrapped in gauze, and pulled out the saber with a little force in his right hand.
The gendarmes and sentries on duty at the gate had already seen this officer's abnormal behavior, and hurriedly ran over several people, trying to stop and drag up the clear water, but they didn't expect that this officer, who was only wearing a white shirt on his upper body, suddenly took out a small pistol with his hand wrapped in gauze, and fired three shots in the sky!
Now the gate of the headquarters is in chaos! The whistles sounded one after another, and groups of gendarmes and young officers ran out of the gate and the alleys on both sides of the gate, and the few gendarmes closest to Shimizu Daisa were frightened by the gunfire just now and lay on the ground and didn't dare to move!
