Chapter 136: Cut the weeds and roots
When the upper river bank explodes, the river water will be diverted.
More than twenty fortresses downstream quickly lost the supply of water.
The Eighth Route Army teams were all moving towards their respective goals. Although everyone was basically acting together, there were troops as fast as Li Yunlong.
For example, the 772nd regiment moves very quickly, and I wish I could take down the fortress in the shortest time.
But there are very few successful people. Except for Li Yunlong's new regiment, other troops either failed like Cheng Weizi, or they could only act according to the original plan. When the Fortress Village is in a desperate situation, they will no longer take any effort to do it.
As soon as the telephone line of the small and medium-sized fortress was cut off, it basically lost contact with the above.
But a large fortress like Lijiazhuang won't be.
In addition to telephone contact, there is also a radio station... Ahem, the Japanese army only has the equipment for such an important strategic material that only the brigade can have. The fortress is not qualified and is a carrier pigeon.
That's right, it's a carrier pigeon.
Of course, in this war-torn era, there are not many carrier pigeons.
The pigeons released by Lijiazhuang were fired by machine guns from the Eighth Route Army outside, and all the pigeons were shot down.
"Hateful, hateful!" Li Haisheng, the owner of the Li family, looked at the scene and was extremely annoyed.
The Li family's shopkeepers have great business and need more water.
Now that the river has broken water and the water source has broken, Lijiazhuang will soon fall into a critical state due to water shortage.
The carrier pigeon was also swept away and could not be contacted, which was not good.
"The owner of the manor, you will definitely receive the news soon on the 23rd station. They will definitely not be able to stand by death." Someone comforted Li Haisheng.
"Even if we don't want to die, the amount of water needed by our Lijiazhuang is not a small amount." Li Haisheng sighed, "What's more, this river is related to the water supply of more than 20 fortresses. Even if the Imperial Army wants to deliver water, where will we find so much water to deliver to us in a short while. Besides, since the Tujiao Route Army surrounds us now, do you think they will not destroy the highway in advance? Once this road is destroyed, cars cannot deliver water, and they can only rely on manpower, do you think this water can still be expected to be raised?"
"Master, don't the Imperial Army still have planes?" someone said again, "The plane can deliver water to us from the sky."
"You are burning water from the plane, isn't it fuel?" Li Haisheng shook his head, "Fuel is a strategic resource for the Imperial Army. Do you think the Imperial Army will consume valuable strategic resources and send us water?"
"The owner of the house, then, what should we do?"
"Let's wait first." Li Haisheng was helpless. In this situation, there might be no second way except for surrender.
As long as it is not a serious crime and surrender, the Eighth Route Army will still be able to survive.
During the years when Li Haisheng was the owner of the Li family, he had never done anything bad except helping the imperial army grow food.
However, even if you want to surrender, you cannot surrender now, and you still have to wait and see.
No matter what, the current battle situation is still the imperial army has the advantage, and those who know the current affairs are heroes.
You cannot make a decision easily unless you have to.
What if the Imperial Army can save it, or if Lijiazhuang is given priority.
Lijiazhuang and many fortress villages cannot report the news of the river breakdown to Station 23 Logistics Section, but there are others who can report it.
There are many places in the lower reaches of this river.
These puppet army posters found that the river was cut off and reported it immediately.
Station 23
Wu Ze looked at the time in his hand and knew that the river bombing and diversion operation had begun.
Soon, each unit will surround more than twenty fortresses.
The news of Fortress Village was cut off and it was impossible to pass the message to the Logistics Department of Station No. 23 in time, but the message will definitely be transmitted through other channels.
Wu Ze pretended not to know anything and was reading the documents.
Dingling!
Sure enough, the phone ringing on the table rang.
Wu Ze's heart moved and knew what this phone number meant.
After adjusting his mentality, Wu Ze picked up the microphone: "I am..."
Before Wu Ze finished speaking, a serious and nervous voice from a clerk of the Logistics Department came from inside: "Secretary Zhong, someone just reported that the Wenyang River was broken, and he immediately judged that it was very likely that the Tu Eighth Route Army had exploded the river upstream again."
Wu Ze pretended to be angry: "The Wenyang River is broken, have you confirmed the news? You should know what it means to lie to me about intelligence!!"
"Secretary Zhong, I dare not lie. I have confirmed it again and again. It is really the Wenyang River that has been cut off..." The voice on the phone was very serious.
Wu Ze pretended not to believe it and interrupted with a roar: "Impossible, this is impossible, you go check it out for me again! I want to know the real reason why the river is cut off!"
After shouting, Wu Ze pretended to hang up the phone hard.
The phone rang out and then rang again.
Wu Ze answered again, and another clerk was reporting, and the situation was the same.
Wu Ze's reply was the same: "Let me check it out again! Even if the river is cut off, I have to know where it is cut off!"
Wu Ze answered a few calls, then looked solemn and anxious, and quickly pretended to analyze on the map.
As Wu Ze expected, the intelligence chief Li Mu came over quickly: "Secretary Li, the situation is not good, and the Wenyang River is broken."
"I also received information. The clerk below told me that it is very likely that Tujia Road would explode a place upstream of the Wenyang River and cut off the Wenyang River." Wu Ze looked extremely nervous, "It's no joke. This Wenyang River provides water for more than 20 fortresses. Once more than 20 fortresses are finished, you and I will definitely be killed by the stationmaster."
"The Eighth Route Army once exploded the river in the Battle of Wanger Mountain. At that time, they wanted to turn the river water into a mountain torrent to deal with our 20,000 troops." Li Mu said solemnly, "Now they exploded the river, which must be to seize the more than 20 fortresses in the lower reaches of the Wenyang River. The Eighth Route Army continued to blow up the river early and late, but it was broken when the corn and rice were ripe, and its heart was clear!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind it! "Secretary Li, now you tell me what the use is. The top priority is that you have to notify the webmaster quickly." Wu Ze pretended to be panicked and said, "Also, we have to find a way to rescue."
"I have notified the webmaster that the webmaster is returning." Li Mudao looked at Wu Ze: "Secretary Zhong, do you have any ideas about rescue?"
"If more than 20 fortresses are short of water, the amount of water needed is not something our transportation team can meet. Moreover, since Tujiao Route has exploded the river, it will definitely consider destroying the highway to prevent us from delivering water!" Wu Ze said calmly, "I think the most urgent thing is to immediately figure out where the Tujiao Route has exploded the river bank, and then we will hurry up and repair it. Only by restoring the river water supply can we fundamentally solve the danger of water shortage of more than 20 fortresses!"
Li Mu nodded after hearing this: "Well, that's right, your method is good, I'll send someone to check it out immediately."
Wu Ze called Li Mu who was leaving, and he said, "I have asked my people to check it, but..."
"Just what?" Li Mudun stopped.
"It's obvious that the Eighth Route Army has been planning for a long time. They were trapped by us and the most lacking thing now is food. They are now using this killer move. I guess the river bank is so badly destroyed by them, and it may not be able to be repaired in a short time." Wu Ze said.
When Li Mu heard what Wu Ze said made sense, he looked at Wu Ze: "Secretary Zhong, do you have a backup plan?"
"Save the time to report to Taiyuan." Wu Ze said to Li Mu, "This matter has exceeded our ability."
If you expose the matter to Taiyuan, Taiyuan will definitely bring pressure to Puyou.
Even if Pu You will give the pressure to Wu Ze and Li Mu, no matter what, the pressure in Taiyuan is the greatest. Wu Ze can't bear it, so he can only let Pu You take it.
"Report to Taiyuan?" Li Mu paused and said, "Even if this matter is to be reported to Taiyuan, it should be the webmaster. Now the webmaster has not come back yet, so we will report it above the level. If the webmaster knows..."
"Let Taiyuan know earlier and let Taiyuan intervene earlier. As long as Taiyuan intervenes, our pressure will be shared." Wu Ze said, "As for the webmaster, this matter is too sudden, and he will not blame us."
"Then you report to Taiyuan." Li Mu said to Wu Ze.
"Li Mu, stop being stubborn. I've only been here for a few days. Do I believe me if I speak?" Wu Ze said.
He knew that if Puyou reported it to Taiyuan, he would definitely be scolded if he had learned about it.
But if you are scolded, let Li Mu, the dying person, go and suffer.
"Yes, that's right." Li Mu was right when he heard this. Zhong Ze was promoted to the logistics department head. This actually did not meet the regulations. Pu You made the decision privately.
Pu You must have not reported to Taiyuan, and Zhong Ze reported to Taiyuan, but he didn't believe it.
It seems that I can only bear this scolding myself.
Li Mu left in a hurry, and Wu Ze called Wang Damao.
"Deputy Chief Zhong, what are your instructions?" Wang Damao saluted Wu Ze.
"Take some people right away and check the outside of a few fortresses. Is there a Tujiao Route Army surrounded them?" Wu Ze said to Wang Damao.
This is a purposely finding a reason to spend Wang Damao. Wang Damao can have a way to monitor Station 23 outside.
As soon as Li Mu goes out, Wang Damao will know that, and then cooperate with the ambush to kill Li Mu.
"Yes." Wang Damao responded and went immediately.
At about 8:30 pm, Puyou came back.
Both Li Mu and Wu Ze were called over by him.
"Where is the Wenyang River where the Eighth Route Army exploded?" Pu You's expression was very bad, and his face was full of murderous aura.
This suddenly involved more than twenty fortresses, and the nature of this matter was too serious.
Li Mu quickly handed over the map: "Webmaster, I have outlined everything on the map."
Puyou took the map and opened it and looked even more ugly: "Baga, this Eighth Route Army is so bad that it has exploded so many places!"
Wu Ze said to Pu You: "Webmaster, Tu Eighth Route Army is here with preparation. If we want to repair the river bank, it will take at least half a month if Tu Eighth Route Army does not harass us midway."
"In half a month, more than 20 fortresses will have fallen into the hands of the Eighth Route Army!" Pu You shouted, "The sheep have been captured by the Eighth Route Army. What's the use of me fixing the sheep pen!"
Li Mu leaned forward and said, "Webmaster, I have a intuition."
"Say!" Pu You stared at Li Mu with his eyes that were not big.
"I think there should be a master on the 18th Army." Li Mudao.
"What does it mean?" Pu You didn't quite understand.
"Webmaster, look, this is something I've written." Li Mu quickly handed Pu You a document, "If you hand over this document to Taiyuan, Taiyuan will definitely not put such great pressure on you anymore."
Puyou quickly took it and looked at it, and his expression calmed down a little: "Yoxi, Yoxi, Li Mu, your analysis is very reasonable. It seems that this is really possible. This matter must be checked carefully by Taiyuan."
Seeing this situation, Wu Ze was a little curious about what Li Mu handed Pu You at this time.
But Wu Ze judged that this thing is most likely related to him.
"Section Chief Zhong." Pu You looked at Wu Ze, "As the logistics department chief, the Wenyang River is cut off, and more than 20 fortresses are short of water. Do you have any other good solutions?"
"Website Manager, these are more than 20 fortresses. Our station No. 23 has limited troops. Even if all of them are sent out, it will be a drop in the bucket." Wu Ze said, "Let Taiyuan handle it..."
Before Wu Ze finished speaking, Pu You changed his face: "Baga, for such a big thing, are you so alike as the logistics section chief?"
Wu Ze lowered his head and remained silent.
"You go and think of some ways to make up for it as much as possible." Pu You did not make any further embarrassment, and his tone eased a little: "Someone came down from Taiyuan and saw us working as hard as possible. At that time... do you understand what I mean?"
"Webmaster, I understand." Wu Ze nodded and withdrew.
Isn’t it just to show it to Taiyuan, which will definitely satisfy Puyou.
As soon as Wu Ze came out, Pu You looked at Li Mu: "Section Chief Li, although Section Chief Zhong has good abilities, this matter is indeed beyond the scope of Station 23. You can do your best to assist Section Chief Zhong."
"Yes." Li Mu responded.
"You go."
"yes."
Pu You paid Li Mu out, and he looked at the information that Li Mu presented to him again.
According to Li Mu's report, there were experts from the 18th Group Army, and they should also be experts at the strategic level.
Of course, this does not mean that the 18th Army does not have strategic talents, it must be there.
However, according to Li Mu's analysis in the report, the existing strategic-level talents of the 18th Army do not have the ability to attack strategically in front of them.
Otherwise, how could the 18th Army be trapped until the end of its path to carry out such a strategic offensive? What had they done long ago?
Cutting off the Wenyang River has caused more than 20 fortresses downstream to lack water. This is the opponent's strategic offensive. Station No. 23 is not an opponent. Taiyuan should be allowed to investigate the identity of this strategic expert as soon as possible.
Once Taiyuan realizes the existence of this strategic expert, Puyou will have a lot of room for maneuver when more than 20 fortresses lose the responsibility of the hand of the Eighth Route Army this time.
That’s right, Puyou can already foresee that these twenty fortresses can no longer be defended.
The Eighth Route Army had surrounded them and cut off the contact between Fortress Village and Station No. 23. The front large troops were unable to be transferred to reinforce for a short time.
Even if the aircraft of the aviation force can support it, it is still difficult, not to mention that the aircraft must support the front battlefield and cannot be sent.
It is precisely because Puyou deeply understands that he can't defend more than twenty fortresses that he has not made things too difficult for Wu Ze, but just asked Wu Ze to make efforts to show it to the Taiyuan side.
After reading the information in his hand again, Pu You had some clues in his heart and immediately wrote a paper report.
Try not to use the phone or radio station for such confidential things.
Pu You wrote the report, sealed it with a top-secret seal, and called the Japanese correspondent: "Send this information to the First Army Headquarters of Taiyuan immediately."
"Hayi!" The Japanese correspondent took the information and quickly left.
Wu Ze immediately called the two stupid dog clerks.
"Are all the supplies transported to Ping'an County ready?" Wu Ze said.
"It's ready, Chief Zhong, but now the Eighth Route Army has cut off the Wenyang River. Shouldn't we hurry up and rescue the Fortress Village? What supplies should we send to Ping'an County?" These two stupid dog clerks didn't want to go at all, pretending to remind Wu Ze.
"Is there a way to rescue more than twenty fortresses?" Wu Ze pretended to be, "If you can save all twenty fortresses, let alone save them, half of them can be saved, I will ask you for me in front of the webmaster. I will send someone else to transport materials to Ping'an County."
When the two stupid dog clerks heard this, their expressions slammed: "Chief Zhong, stop joking with us, how can we rescue the Fortress Village?"
"There is no way to rescue the Fortress Village, so I will transport the supplies from Ping'an County to me immediately." Wu Ze said solemnly, "Now the Tujiao Route Army is fighting against our Fortress Village. The 28th Regiment must have been empty in the garrison. This is a great opportunity to transport supplies."
When these two stupid dog clerks heard this, they were cheered up.
Yes, Section Chief Zhong is right. Now the 28th Regiment must have devoted its attention and most of its troops to the Fortress Village. Now it is a great opportunity to transport materials to Ping'an County.
This newly promoted Chief Zhong is so serious that he can still think of this point in such a serious situation.
"What are you still standing there? Go quickly." Wu Ze urged, "If you don't go now, go back to the 28th Regiment and take down the fortress village, and the troops are back. At that time..."
"Yes, yes." These two stupid dog clerks went there quickly.
"Come on," Wu Ze said quickly.
"Chief Zhong, what are your instructions?" asked the visitor.
"Come to me now the three captains of the action team, the transportation team, and the plainclothes team." Wu Ze said.
Among them, the Operation Team and the Plainclothes Team are under the jurisdiction of the Intelligence Section, and the Transportation Team is under the jurisdiction of the Logistics Section.
Now Pu You has asked the Intelligence Department to fully assist the Logistics Department, so Wu Ze also has the ability to mobilize the operation team and the plainclothes team.
The three captains of the Action Team, plainclothes Team and Transport Team quickly rushed over and saluted Wu Ze: "Chief Zhong, what are the instructions?"
All three of them knew that something happened to the twenty-seven fortresses below, and now they looked very solemn and nervous.
"The action team and the plainclothes team assisted the transportation team and immediately organized all the vehicles that could deliver water to the fortress as quickly as possible." Wu Ze said.
The action captain looked at Wu Ze suspiciously: "Chief Zhong, these are more than 20 fortresses. Even if we can deliver water to it, it is probably a drop in the bucket, right?"
Wu Ze slapped him and scolded, "Do you have a better way?"
"No, no." The action captain shook his head.
"Since there is no way, why don't you get out of here and prepare!" Wu Ze roared.
"Yes, yes." The three captains nodded and dripped away.
Wu Ze returned to the office, looked at the map again, pretending to think of a solution.
Li Mu ran over quickly.
"Secretary Zhong, I have a way to restore the water supply to the fortress village." Li Mu said solemnly.
"Secretary Li, tell me quickly." Wu Ze pretended to be surprised on the surface, and he had already thought that Li Mu might think of something.
Wu Ze was already prepared for this method before making the plan.
"Look, although Tujiao Route has exploded several sections of the river bank in a row, the river bank cannot be repaired in a short period of time, we can send people to dig a ditch from the dry riverbed, and we will introduce the upstream water into the downstream through the ditch." Li Mu quickly spread the map and said to Wu Ze.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! When Wu Ze heard this, he realized that he had indeed made good preparations.
But the 18th Army's team was well prepared. If you want to dig a ditches from the dry riverbed, you must at least pass through a dense mine array first.
The mine array passed through, and then faces ambush from the 18th Army, etc.
In a word, Wu Ze had already made the 18th Army fully prepared for the blocking and digging ditches from the dry riverbed, so he would not even think about it.
And this is also a great reason why Wu Ze found for leaving Station 23.
He didn't tell him this method himself. Li Mu was a smart person. When Li Mu thought of it, he would definitely tell him.
Then Wu Ze personally led the team to dig the river. As for the "pretending to be a slump" on the road, it doesn't matter.
What’s important is that he is no longer on the 23rd station, and Li Mu is led out to kill him later, so he has nothing to do with him.
So Wu Ze pretended to be ecstatic: "Secretary Li, you are such a pillar of the world. Why didn't I think of this wonderful method?"
"Secretary Zhong, don't be too happy too early." Li Mu said, "Since Tujiao Road is going to attack these twenty or so fortresses, we want to dig dry riverbeds and make ditches. I'm afraid they won't let us succeed so easily."
"Secretary Li, but this is at least one solution." Wu Ze looked solemn, "I will go and tell the webmaster immediately, I will take the people there myself."
After saying that, Wu Ze hurriedly ran to Pu You's office.
Li Mu looked at Wu Ze's back and murmured to himself: "Secretary Zhong, I'm sorry."
Li Mu could foresee that the 18th Army must have made sufficient preparations. Section Chief Zhong will most likely go but never return when he goes there.
As soon as Section Chief Zhong died, only the deputy section chief of the intelligence department knew about Saki Inoue cuckolding the webmaster.
If you find an opportunity to kill the deputy section chief, then the matter will be completely explained.
For Li Mu, it is a true portrayal of the roots!
As for Saki Inoue to wear a second or third cuckold for Puyou later, Li Mu is already prepared.
From now on, keep a close eye on Saki Inoue.
All the opposite sex who come into contact with her will be vaccinated in advance.
Next, more than twenty fortresses cannot be saved, and Station 23 must perform tragic.
The operation team, plainclothes team, and transportation team all suffered huge losses, and the logistics department heads died for it. At that time, Pu You can use this to communicate with Taiyuan... In short, this will reduce the pressure on Pu You as much as possible.
Pu You is under a little pressure, so he, the intelligence chief, will be worry-free.
Wu Ze ran to Pu You's office. Pu You was answering the phone. His expression was trembling. It was obvious that the phone call should have been called from Taiyuan and he was scolding Pu You.
After Puyou hung up the phone, he was under great pressure. He looked up at Wu Ze: "Secretary Zhong, you have seen it too. Taiyuan knows about this and is very angry. Do you have a way to save more than twenty fortress villages?"
"Website Manager, Tubalu has severely damaged the river bank of the upper reaches of Wenyang River. It would not work if we wanted to repair it. But we can dig a ditch from the dry riverbed, and we can lead water downstream through the ditches..." Wu Ze did not finish his words.
Puyou was overjoyed: "Yoxi, Yoxi, Yoxi, Section Chief Zhong, your method is really amazing, amazing."
Puyou’s sorrow suddenly disappeared.
Digging ditches from the dry riverbed and introducing river water downstream can fundamentally solve the problem.
"Webmaster, but we can't be too optimistic." Wu Ze said, "The Eighth Route Army has set its sights on more than 20 fortresses, so we will definitely not let us succeed easily."
Pu You patted Wu Ze's shoulder solemnly: "Secretary Zhong, I believe you can."
"Webmaster, then I'll go." Wu Ze felt relieved after getting Pu You's permission.
He was worried that Pu You would not let him go, so if Li Mu was taken out and killed later, he would more or less... However, Pu You had agreed to let him go now.
"Go, I'll wait for your good news." Pu You was in ecstasy at this moment and ignored it for the time being. Talents like Section Chief Zhong should not be sent to take risks.
Dry the riverbed and dig the ditches and let the action team go.
"Yes." Wu Ze withdrew.
Wu Ze drew 500 people and some engineers from the plainclothes team and the operation team, and hurriedly left Station 23 with them.
The rest of the plainclothes team and the action team, they continued to assist the transport team.
Chapter completed!
