Chapter 636: Return to Longzhou
Wang Haitao finally led his men on the way home, and they plunged into the reckless mountains of the Jiuhua Mountains from the territory of Guichi. Although Jiuhua Mountain is not as tall and steep as Yellow Mountain, and the area is not as large as Yellow Mountain, the peaks of several hundred meters can still be seen everywhere, and the area is also hundreds of square kilometers. In Jiuhua Mountain in this era, most places are primeval forests, and the team can't see a single figure for a whole day.
However, the advantage is that it can not only avoid the countless blockades and checkpoints set up by the national army, but also follow the shortest route to the territory of Jiangxi Province. As for the difficult environment along the way, it is difficult for this group of elite fighters led by Wang Haitao. In the process of marching, Wang Haitao also explained a lot of knowledge of survival in the wild to the soldiers.
After seven days of arduous trekking, Wang Haitao finally led the troops out of the heavy mountains of southern Anhui, when they stepped into the boundary of Jingdezhen in Jiangxi, they had completely got rid of the encirclement of the southern Anhui army, from now on, they will cross thousands of miles of Japanese-occupied areas, and then can smoothly return to Longzhou City. When I came, there was the identity of the Japanese mineral exploration team as a disguise, and the journey was relatively smooth, but now I have to go back, Wang Haitao thought that I still had to find a camouflage.
Wang Haitao quietly approached Jingdezhen with his troops, and along the way Wang Haitao found that the Japanese army was much smaller than when he came. Some of the checkpoints that I passed when I came here were either a lot less troops, or the Japanese army was replaced by a puppet army, and a few less important checkpoints were simply removed. Although Wang Haitao felt a little strange in his heart, he didn't take it too seriously.
After approaching Jingdezhen, Wang Haitao made the team hide outside the city and sent two scouts into the city in disguise to see if there were any opportunities to take advantage of. The two scouts spent the day in the city and returned to the group in the evening. After careful inquiry, Wang Haitao still found something different from the past. The Japanese army was originally stationed in Jingdezhen with a wing of the 39th Division, but now according to scouts, the defenders only have an infantry squadron and a large number of puppet troops.
Wang Haitao judged that the main force of the Japanese army should have been transferred to another place, and thought of the transfer of the 116th Division, the main force of the Japanese army stationed in Anqing, to Changde, Wang Haitao believed that the Japanese army should have launched another attack on the front line of Changsha and Changde in Hunan. If the main force of the Japanese army in Jiangxi is transferred to the front line, then does it mean that the Japanese army in Jiangxi is empty, and if he disguises himself as a Japanese army, the possibility of being discovered is much smaller.
In the end, Wang Haitao decided to reconnoiter again and confirmed his thoughts before acting. This time, Wang Haitao decided to go into the city to reconnoiter himself. After dinner, Wang Haitao selected a few skilled soldiers to explore Jingdezhen at night with him. At about ten o'clock in the night, Wang Haitao and a few others touched the outside of Jingdezhen, and the city gate was closed at this time, but the ten-meter-high city wall could not help Wang Haitao and them.
Choosing a secluded place, Wang Haitao listened carefully to the lack of movement on the city wall, and then motioned for the soldiers to go to the city. The warriors took out the throwing hook from their knapsacks, and with a single effort, the throwing hook was thrown onto the city wall. After hearing that there was no movement on the city wall, the four warriors took the lead in the city. The ten-meter-high city wall, the soldiers climbed up in more than ten seconds, and then Wang Haitao and the rest of the soldiers also climbed the city wall.
There were soldiers who had entered the city during the day to lead the way, and Wang Haitao and they soon came to the city defense headquarters of the Japanese army in Jingdezhen. The City Defense Headquarters is a four-story building, and the entrance is heavily guarded, and patrols enter and exit the headquarters from time to time. Wang Haitao observed from a distance for a while, and did not find any chance to blend in, so he led the soldiers around the back of the headquarters.
The wall of the headquarters is four meters high, and there is a power grid on it, such a wall can easily cope with even the soldiers of the reconnaissance company, let alone Wang Haitao. Wang Haitao ordered two soldiers to climb over the wall with him, and the rest of the soldiers stayed outside to guard. The three of them easily climbed over the wall, and Wang Haitao carefully observed the inside of the headquarters.
There is only one gate in the building to enter and exit, and there is a sentry on duty at the door, so it is not easy to enter and exit through the door. However, at the back of the building are rows of windows, old-fashioned wooden windows that have no protection such as guardrails, and are no different from the gate to Wang Haitao. Wang Haitao chose a window without light, and with the help of two soldiers, climbed on the windowsill, opened the wooden window with a saber, and deftly climbed into the room through the wooden window.
After entering the room, Wang Haitao took advantage of the outside light to take a look inside the room, which should be an office, with four desks lined up in the room, and two rows of filing cabinets leaning against the wall. After confirming that it was safe, Wang Haitao asked the two fighters to turn in, and then searched in the office. I searched my desk, in drawers, and in filing cabinets, but found no valuable information.
Wang Haitao put his ear on the door and listened, it was quiet outside, Wang Haitao opened the door a crack and looked out of the door. Outside the door is a corridor, there is no one in the corridor at this time, everything is quiet. Wang Haitao flashed out of the door, looked back at the door, and saw a sign with the words "Logistics Office" written in Japanese hanging by the door. It turned out to be the office of the Logistics Service.
According to the habit of the Japanese army, the offices of senior officers were generally on the upper floor, so Wang Haitao made a few gestures to the two soldiers, and the three of them went back and forth to the stairs. Soon the three of them came to the fourth floor, and in the innermost, Wang Haitao finally saw the door with the words "Wing Captain's Office". This should be the office of the supreme commander of the headquarters, Wang Haitao became excited.
With * to easily open the door lock of the office, Wang Haitao and the three of them flashed into the office. This office is not small, divided into two rooms, inside and outside. Outside, it should be a reception room, with a set of sofas and wine cabinets, and a large desk with office supplies on the inside separated by a wooden lattice. A sun flag hangs on the wall behind the desk.
There was no one in the office, so Wang Haitao asked the two soldiers to guard the door, and he walked into the room and began to search. None of the drawers on the desk found any useful information, but a stack of blank letters and the seal of the 231st Wing of the 39th Division were found. Wang Haitao searched the room carefully again and found a hidden safe on the wall.
It took Wang Haitao two minutes to open the old-fashioned safe, which only had a password turntable lock, and found several documents marked "top secret" in the cabinet. After opening the documents, Wang Haitao read them one by one, and sure enough, the Japanese army once again launched a full-scale attack on the national troops on the Yangtze River, Changde, and Yichang lines. In order to contain the troops of the national army, the main forces of the Japanese army in Jiangxi were mobilized to the vicinity of Nanchang to make a diversionary attack on Changsha, Hengyang and other places.
After reading several documents, Wang Haitao basically had a grasp of the dynamics of the Japanese army in Jiangxi, and at this time, there would be no danger of being exposed if he disguised himself as a Japanese army. Besides, there are blank official letters and seals available. After putting the documents as they were, Wang Haitao came to his desk, filled in the blank official letter in Japanese for a while, and stamped it with a large seal, and an official letter from the 231 Wing to deliver supplies to the front line was freshly baked.
With this official letter, coupled with the fact that I forged an officer ID card with the name of a lieutenant officer I had just seen in the office of the logistics office, there should be no problem in coaxing the Japanese troops on the checkpoint. After doing these things, Wang Haitao and the three of them returned the same way, climbed over the wall from the place where they entered, and left the city defense headquarters. Then I touched the city wall, chose a secluded place and left the city with a hook.
After bypassing Jingdezhen, Wang Haitao asked the soldiers to change their clothes, and he also changed into a captain's uniform. The Japanese truck in the storage ring was still there, and it was also taken out by Wang Haitao in the storage ring at this time. It didn't take long for a convoy of ten trucks to appear on the road. At this time, a glimmer of light appeared in the sky, Wang Haitao jumped into the cab of the first truck, and shouted: "All go!" The soldier next to him stepped on the accelerator, and the truck drove forward along the road.
The route chosen by Wang Haitao was the same as when he came, first passing through Yingtan, and then passing through Fuzhou, Ji'an, and Ganzhou to Shaoguan. Even if you enter the territory of the Cantonese army in Shaoguan, you can rush home in a bright light. Not long after the convoy walked, it encountered the first checkpoint. There was also a Japanese squad guarding this outpost when it came, and now there are only more than a dozen Japanese soldiers and a platoon of puppet soldiers guarding it.
Seeing the platoon commander of the puppet army nodding and coming to him, Wang Haitao said a few words in Japanese with an arrogant face. The platoon commander couldn't understand what Wang Haitao was saying at all, so he hurriedly called the Japanese sergeant in charge. The sergeant came to Wang Haitao and saw that it was a captain and officer seated, and he hurriedly stood up and saluted, and asked in Japanese: "Where is the chief going?" Is there an official letter?"
Wang Haitao impatiently handed over the official letter and military ID card from the window, and said in Japanese: "I am transporting supplies to the front line, you will release them immediately after inspection, don't delay the trip." The sergeant read the letter and documents, bowed immediately, put his hands on his hands, and gave a loud order to let him go. Wang Haitao made a forward gesture to the soldier who was driving, and the soldier who was driving stepped on the accelerator, and the car passed through the checkpoint and continued on the road.
Along the way, Wang Haitao and the others passed through one level after another, and basically did not encounter any trouble. Along the way, Wang Haitao clearly felt that the Japanese army was very empty in Jiangxi, and even several important places showed insufficient troops. The convoy traveled through Jiangxi province in just five days. After bypassing Ganzhou City, Wang Haitao knew that the border between the front and Guangdong Province was heavily guarded by the Japanese army, and his convoy could no longer pass the customs in confusion.
So Wang Haitao asked the soldiers to change back into their original military uniforms, took back the trucks and other belongings to the storage rings, abandoned the road, and went straight to Shaoguan from the mountain road. Two days later, the team bypassed the Japanese defense line on the front line and arrived outside the city of Shaoguan, and when Wang Haitao revealed his identity at the gate of Shaoguan City and entered the city, it attracted the attention of the commander-in-chief of the Cantonese army stationed in Shaoguan.
