Chapter 187
After bidding farewell to the commander of the 13th Army of the Japanese Army, Jiro Guya and Mitsui, senior special agent of the Special High School Division, bid farewell to Shigeru Sawada, the two returned to the conference room of the 13th Army Command.
Tanigu Jinjiro said to Mitsui Minamiko: "We are implementing the first two tasks assigned by the commander. China is too poor, and many materials do not have the value of plundering. Now I decided to include all the railway tracks, trees, chickens, ducks, etc. in the plundering scope. The young and middle-aged people caught must undergo physical examinations, and transport them to Japan for good health, so that they can dig coal. Those who are not physically healthy will stay in Zhejiang and let them repair fortifications and work hard labor for us. You are the specific person in charge of turning the occupied area into an unmanned area. I believe you will definitely do it well. The work of rescuing the Harada Mixed Brigade is extremely difficult. The brigade has been poisoned by a large number of people. The poison gas released by our army cannot poison Zhang Junhot melee team, but it has poisoned more than a thousand people. I can only draw the Imperial Army responsible for protecting the Quzhou-Jinhua line to Suichang for rescue. The actions of the Zhang Junhot melee team seriously interfered with the strategic deployment of the 13th Army, making the 13th Army
The army cannot divide southern China with the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway as the boundary, thereby annihilating the main force of the Chinese army. Zhang Junhao is a major concern of Japan. You have to lure him down at all costs or eliminate his body. As for defending the Quzhou Railway Bridge, the strategic importance of this bridge needs no further, it is indeed a bridge of life. I want to send two armored vehicles to patrol along the railway, one from Quzhou Railway Station to the east, and the other from Longyou to the west
Two vehicles parked on both sides of the Quzhou Railway Bridge. The 12th Army Division was sent to set off from Quzhou City on foot day and night, requiring the division to have at least one company at the Quzhou Railway Bridge for 24 hours. The third regiment of the 12th Army, which was ordered to assist the Imperial Army in looting materials, remain highly vigilant. Once a Chinese army is found attacking the railway bridge, move westward immediately, guard the Lanke Mountain area, and cut off the retreat route of the Chinese army attacking the railway bridge."
At around 4 pm, the Bridge Blasting Special Operations Team was still studying the bridge bombing work in the Lanke Mountain District.
Zhang Junhao digs a trench with a dagger to indicate the Wuxi River. He uses stones to line up to represent the railway, and uses wood to build stones to represent the railway bridge. Picking a few leaves means the Japanese army guarding the bridge.
Zhang Junhao divided the special operations team into four groups, the first group of the bridge bombing team, two military command agents plus five special operations team members, the military command agents are responsible for placing explosives, and the special operations team members are responsible for covering and detonating explosives. The second group is led by Xie Xinming, with a total of ten special operations team members, and the main task is to approach the railway. Once the Japanese army discovers the bridge bombing personnel, they attack the railway and use firepower to suppress the Japanese army. The third group is led by Zhang Junhao, with a total of seven team members, including Li Li, a US military combat correspondent, as a reserve team, acting mobile. The fourth group is led by Xu Hongtu, with a total of eight team members, and the main task is to guard against the Japanese army or puppet troops who may pounce on the east side. The military command agents on the back of the radio station stay at the starting point where the bridge bombing operation began and do not participate in the operation.
Everyone put on Japanese military uniforms and set out at 11 o'clock in the evening. The route was to walk along the east side of Wuxi River.
After each group reaches the designated location, communicate with each other using a walkie-talkie and act independently.
The specific time for the bridge explosion is set at 3 a.m.
After the bridge was blown up, everyone retreated to the Lanke Mountains to gather. After a while, they continued to evacuate to the southern mountainous areas.
When Zhang Junhao deployed the action, he explained the details very well, and explained what each group did and how they did it.
At around 5 p.m., the special operations team will rest.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, the special operations team wore Japanese uniforms and walked quietly northward under the night.
When walking north, Xu Hongtu's team opened the way. After all, there were a few local guerrillas in Xu Hongtu's team, and they had already walked by during the day. They led the way and could walk directly over without exploring the way.
Zhang Junhao's team was walking in the middle. Zhang Junhao held the m1 semi-automatic rifle in both hands, and walked forward while fantasizing about the battle scene in his mind.
Zhang Junhao has developed a habit of not talking nonsense when walking, and will imagine battle scenes in his mind.
The information detected by the reconnaissance personnel was that there was a barracks on the north side of the railway on the east side of the railway bridge, and a small team of Japanese troops were stationed, with two Japanese sentries standing guard on both sides of the bridge.
Zhang Junhao thought that if Xie Xinming led ten special operations team members, if they could rush onto the railway and lie on the railway, they would have the ability to suppress the Japanese barracks. If Xie Xinming's team could not suppress the Japanese army, Zhang Junhao would lead the team members to rush forward in person. The two groups could not beat the Japanese army, it would depend on the luck of the Military Control Commission's Bridge Blasting Group. If they were not discovered by the Japanese army, they could still act when Xie Xinming's team and Zhang Junhao's team fought against the Japanese army. If they were discovered by the Japanese army, it would depend on the responsible cover of the military control team and whether they could protect the military control agents.
The idea is perfect, but the worry is the variables.
Will there be additional troops in the Japanese barracks at night? Will there be patrols on the railway? How many troops does the Japanese army have on the west side of the railway bridge?
Although carefully planned in advance, when bombing the bridge, you cannot stick to the prior planning. You must also deal with it flexibly and maneuverably according to the actual situation.
Strategically, the enemy can be despised, and the enemy must be highly valued in tactical terms.
The road was very difficult to walk, with weeds and swamps everywhere. Before long, my shoes were filled with water.
The route is far away from the village to prevent the dog barking from causing the Japanese army to alert.
At around twelve o'clock in the evening, Zhang Junhao waited to arrive at a small forest.
It is only three miles away from the railway, and everyone is ambushing in the woods.
Zhang Junhao, Xie Xinming, Xu Hongtu, Military Control Commission agents, and Li Li used a telescope to observe the railway bridge. This observation shocked everyone.
Two armored vehicles were parked on both sides of the railway bridge! The armored vehicles were parked facing each other, and a searchlight in the front shone on the bridge deck. On the bridge deck, more than a hundred gun-carrying soldiers stood on the north and south sides.
Very dizzy! Has the bridge bombing been exposed?
Xie Xinming moved to Zhang Junhao and whispered: "Captain, it seems that he has to give up his actions."
The Military Intelligence Bureau agent also sighed and said, "I didn't count it any more than that. The Japanese army would actually deploy heavy troops on the bridge deck."
Xu Hongtu also said: "During the daytime scout, there are only two Japanese soldiers standing guard! What's going on?"
The situation changed, and everyone looked at Zhang Junhao.
Zhang Junhao stood with his head held high, motionless. His brain thought urgently, and Zhang Junhao judged that the action could not be leaked because the bridge bombing was arranged by Boss Dai himself, and very few people knew about it.
After thinking it through, Zhang Junhao said with great firm expression: "The Japanese army sent heavy troops to guard the railway bridge, which shows that this bridge is extremely important to the Japanese army."
Everyone nodded together.
Zhang Junhao continued: "Don't be scared by the Japanese bluffs. The more people there are, the more loopholes there are."
Everyone's eyes were lit, and they held their breath and listened to Zhang Junhao's continued speaking.
Zhang Junhao said: "This hard bone must be gnawed. The bridge bombing operation will continue. I will deal with the iron armored car in person."
Xie Xinming was shocked and said, "Captain, no! I have to go to deal with the armored vehicles."
Zhang Junhao looked at Xie Xinming and shook his head and asked, "Can you drive the armored car?"
Xie Xinming shook his head.
Zhang Junhao laughed and said, "Then why are you fighting for?"
Zhang Junhao glanced at everyone and said with a serious expression: "Because there were armored vehicles on the railway bridgehead, the enemy situation had undergone great changes, and the details of the operation must be modified. The bridge bombing team must study how to approach the bridge piers and carry out the bridge bombing operation under combat conditions. Xie Xinming's team must study, when I control the armored vehicles, how should your team act. Xu Hongtu's team no longer prepares to block the Japanese reinforcements on the east side, but when I and Xie Xinming's team are reserves. Everyone understands it."
Everyone lowered their throats and said in unison: "I understand."
Just as Zhang Junhao summoned the special bridge bombing team to study the details of the operation again, in a villa by West Lake in Hangzhou, the commander of the 13th Army Shigeru Sawada was still reporting to the commander of the Chinese dispatched army, Toshiro Hata.
These two war criminals are a community of interests. The launch and expansion of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Battle was mainly operated by these two people. Now the 13th Army is deeply trapped in the quagmire of the battle. The Japanese base navy took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on the army and strongly advocated shifting the focus of the war to the Pacific and Southeast Asia. In order to shift the focus of the war, it is necessary to draw forces from the main forces such as the Chinese Kwantung Army and the 11th Army and the 13th Army to the Pacific battlefield.
The commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Army, Shinri Hata, faces unprecedented pressure, but he also knows the difficulties faced by the 13th Army. If the Harada Mixed Brigade is completely wiped out, it will inevitably be seized by the domestic navy faction and attack the incompetence of the army. Shinri Hata hopes that Shigeru Sawada can find a way to rescue the Harada Mixed Brigade. Once the Harada Mixed Brigade is rescued, the 13th Army will immediately withdraw its troops in an all-round way, and spread bacteria while withdrawing troops in an all-round way, turning the once occupied areas into an unmanned area.
Shigeru Sawada of course knew that the army was attacked by the navy. Shinro Hata hoped that he would rescue Harada Mixed Brigade and arranged for Jiro Tanigu to draw the 22nd Division that protected the traffic line to Suichang for reinforcements. However, whether it could be successful is unknown. Shigeru Sawada was afraid of being beaten by Zhang Junhao, and he was very worried that the rescue team would be trapped.
Shigeru Sawada said to Shinroku Hata: "God General, the reason why the 13th Army encountered the current difficulties is that everything was caused by Zhang Junhao. I am arranging Mitsui Naiko to find a way to lure him or assassinate him."
Hata Shunruo nodded and said, "You and I are the most respectful of the strong. Since Zhang Junhao is a strong man, the best way is to lure him to surrender at all costs and let him use it for my great Japanese. If he can lead the first division to fight the national army, will China not be conquered by my great Japanese immediately? Although it is not feasible, you can try it. If he refuses to use it for my great Japanese, he must firmly eliminate his body and crush his bones and ashes."
