Chapter 711: Tracing the Source of the Leak
The action team carrying out the task of destroying poison gas bombs were all wearing Japanese military uniforms, and in the extremely chaotic environment, there were people running everywhere, fleeing everywhere like crazy, and the Japanese troops did not have time to distinguish their identities, so they successfully came to the periphery.
However, the Japanese army reacted very quickly after receiving the information, and the Japanese military police accompanying the army also judged that they would quickly evacuate after detonating the poison gas bombs, so they even divided a group of people to arrange an interception outside, and the action group encountered the Japanese military police not long after leaving the barracks.
The group of six was suppressed by the fire of the opponent's two light machine guns, and they fought and retreated, although they were bound to hit when they fired, but the enemy was more than ten times more numerous than them, and there were patrols around them desperately rushing over.
Seeing that they were about to be surrounded, in the dense rain of bullets, three brothers were shot one after another, one was hit in the vital point, and the other two were shot in the legs, and it became difficult to move.
"Team leader, we can't escape, you guys quickly retreat, we're here to stop the enemy." An injured team member pushed Guo Haisheng and said, reaching out and pulling out a few melon grenades.
"Parents, wives and children, please take care of you, go!" The other threw the melon grenade in his hand at the chasing Japanese soldiers, also urging Guo Haisheng.
Guo Haisheng gritted his teeth and waved his hand, and quickly ran along the path near the hills with the other two team members, he couldn't waste the opportunity that the brothers had exchanged for their lives, but while the three of them were running, tears slipped down the corners of their eyes.
The three wounded continued to block the enemy, they were all strictly trained commandos, their marksmanship was exceptionally accurate, and the 38 big cover in their hands had no bullets, so they took out their Browning pistols and fought out more than 20 Japanese soldiers, and actually bought more than ten minutes for the escaped team members.
With a violent explosion, at the last moment, the three people who finished the bullet fired the grenade and died together with the approaching Japanese army, sacrificing their lives for the country.
The six-man group that attacked the 101st Division came back three, and the six-man group that attacked the 106th Division came back only two, and the situation was basically the same.
"Boss, we hear clearly, there is an enemy inside line in the headquarters! If it hadn't been for the leak, we would have been able to withdraw it smoothly! As soon as Guo Haisheng came to the side of the car, he said to Han Lin.
"Let's go back and dig out this traitor, and use his head to sacrifice the heroic soul of the dead brother, and I swear not to be a man if I don't take revenge!" Han Lin was also trembling with anger by this situation.
It is not difficult to catch this insider who was bought by Japanese spies, only Chen Zhen knows about this matter, with Chen Zhen's sophistication and stability, he will not tell others casually, and very few people are qualified to know the inside story.
It is normal to have sacrifices in battle, Han Lin has such psychological preparation, but the brothers' behavior of betraying intelligence on the inside line is simply a huge shame!
Lieutenant General Masaki Ito, commander of the 101st Division, and Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura, commander of the 106th Division, were furious and mad at the attack.
No one expected that such a vicious incident would occur, and the agents of the Shancheng government actually infiltrated the barracks and blew up poison gas bombs and gas cartridges, resulting in the poisoning of several thousand people in the two divisions.
Okamura Ninji, commander of the 11th Army, who received the news, was furious and should have severely punished the negligent behavior of the commanders of the two divisions, but now he had no choice but to report to General Otozo Yamada, commander of the Central China Dispatch Army, to transfer the 26th Infantry Brigade of the 13th Division and the 130th Infantry Brigade of the 116th Division to reinforce the battlefield, and ordered the 14th Independent Mixed Brigade to quickly support the two divisions.
Amid the shouting of the dispatch command, the Japanese secret services also obtained information about the sneak attack, and this time they ran to the 101st and 106th divisions and detonated poison gas bombs.
This information was transmitted by the secret service at the most urgent time by the high-level inside line of the Ninth Theater Command, and there was absolutely no problem, and as a result, the danger of the Military Command Bureau was suddenly raised to an unprecedented height in the Japanese secret service, and the other side was not only spying on and collecting intelligence, but also participated in the operation.
Yuzhang Ninth Theater Command.
"Our scouts at the forefront of the military intelligence department reported that there was a sudden and violent explosion in the Japanese camp, a large amount of yellow gas filled the air, and the Japanese army was in chaos." After receiving the news from the front, the director of intelligence excitedly ran to Chen Xi's office to report.
The Ninth Theater Command covers three provinces and has hundreds of thousands of troops under its command, and the headquarters naturally has its own intelligence system, that is, the Intelligence Division, which is usually commanded by the Chief of Staff, and the rank of the Chief of Intelligence is Colonel.
"It's great that the special team actually succeeded, this is really a miracle! I must ask the Military Commission for merit for them, at least apply for the Baoding Medal! Chen Wei said excitedly.
The main commanders of the three Ninth War Zones were immediately overjoyed when they heard such a result, and they couldn't help but stand up, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
The poison gas bombs made by the Japanese army were too harmful to the officers and soldiers, and each time they caused heavy losses to the troops, but there was no way to deal with them.
In fact, in their hearts, they didn't have much hope for this sneak attack, after all, they infiltrated the henchmen of the two Japanese divisions, and the probability of success was very small.
At more than nine o'clock in the morning, a truck drove into the gate of the headquarters and stopped to the side, Han Lin got out of the car with an ugly face, and walked into the headquarters building, Chen Zhen's adjutant was waiting at the door, and led him directly to the office on the second floor.
"Brother Han Lin, this time I want to thank you and your brothers on behalf of the Ninth War Zone, it was you who took great risks to infiltrate the enemy camp and blow up the Japanese poison gas bombs, which solved a big problem for this battle, I must ask the Military Commission for credit for you!" Chen Ji held Han Lin's hand and said.
Xue Boling and Luo Mingbai suddenly realized that this operation to infiltrate the enemy camp was not done by someone sent by the Military Command Bureau, but by the Police Department!
"Sir Chen, this time we went to the enemy camp to sabotage the secret operation of the Japanese army's poison gas bombs, I only told you, who else did you talk to?" Han Lin asked.
"I only told Chief Xue and Chief of Staff Mingbai, why, could it be that the Japanese army actually knew the news of this operation?" Chen Wei is so experienced that he knows what's going on as soon as he hears it.
"My special detachment of 12 people, divided into two groups, infiltrated the Japanese military camp, and was about to succeed, but was almost caught by the military police, and they clearly heard that the other party said that there were agents of the Yamashiro government who infiltrated the enemy camp with the intention of destroying the poison gas bomb. With such a clear message, someone definitely leaked it, causing the special team to almost be wiped out! ”
"They are the elites I hired American instructors and German instructors to strictly train in Shanghai, who once attacked the Japanese artillery positions during the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, destroyed the enemy's ammunition depots and transportation lines, and made great achievements. Han Lin said.
He knew that in the eyes of this group of high-ranking generals commanding hundreds of thousands of troops, the sacrifice of seven agents was not a major loss at all, and it was normal for people to die in battle.
