135. Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Five: Ashes to Ashes to Ashes
"Brigade, urgent call from Changsha!" The confidential staff officer at the headquarters of the Chinese Defense Line Security Brigade hurried into Lan Hu's office with the telegram he had just copied. Upon hearing the extremely heavy words "urgent call", Lan Hu
He hurriedly stood up from his seat and grabbed the telegram. As the war progressed, the Chinese army and the Japanese army were completely locked in a stalemate. In northern Hunan, at least 400,000 Japanese troops were watching and waiting outside the fortress.
The slightest disturbance may lead to a big bloody battle.
After reading the telegram, Lan Hu's brows instantly knitted together. Airborne troops? Although he didn't understand what these airborne troops were, but from the soldier's tone as if he was facing a formidable enemy, Lan Hu understood that the little boy who came back this time
The Japs are not simple. Blue Fox took a deep breath and shouted: "Adjutant!" There was a sound of crackling leather boots coming from far away, and the Adjutant ran to Blue Fox and stood at attention with his feet in front of him and gave a military salute: "Seat down!
"
"My order is for the armed reconnaissance battalion directly under the brigade to form a three-person team, carry a radio, and with the fortress as the center, conduct a carpet search in a fan-shaped area of 50 kilometers behind. Once a suspicious person is found, report it immediately. Stay behind.
All departments in the fortress maintained first-level alert, changed the original passwords, doubled the observation posts, and closely watched the movements of the Japanese troops outside the valley."
"Yes!" the adjutant responded and quickly turned around and ran to the confidential room.
The Armed Reconnaissance Battalion of the Security Brigade is the only unit in the entire Hunter Army that is equipped with portable radios for its small groups. This is not only a miracle among all the troops in the national army, but is also one of the few in the Hunter Army that has always been well equipped and equipped with firepower.
Comparable to this is the Rabbit's special operations brigade, which only has one portable radio station per squad. In order to obtain these radio stations, Song Yuanming pulled out 10,000 Maxim heavy machine guns from the arsenal behind the "Chinese Defense Line"
, five thousand 37mm combat defense guns, one thousand 92 infantry guns, plus fifty base ammunition were sent back to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in Chongqing, and then were taken from the Minister of Logistics and Supplies in a company-wide order.
All the portable radio stations provided to the Nationalist Government by the Soviet Union and the United States were taken over. For this reason, the Minister of Munitions was heartbroken.
At present, more than 500 troops of the Military Reconnaissance Battalion are deployed in a three-person team in a fan-shaped area with a radius of fifty kilometers behind the "Chinese Defense Line". It is freezing cold, and even though they are wrapped in cotton coats, the soldiers are still a little cold.
Shivering, I took out a few cans of frozen spam luncheon meat from my backpack and drank a few ounces of strong wine. This not only made me lunch, but also provided my body with enough calories to keep out the cold.
"Team leader, what are we looking for here? There is a fortress blocking the way, so the Japanese can't get in unless they fall from the sky." The communications soldier carrying the radio pointed to the sky with a smile and said
A slow white mist emerged. The next second, the communications soldier was completely stunned. The deafening sound of the aircraft engine came from far and near. Listening to this sound, the aircraft was not a small fighter. The team members were holding Sten submachine guns.
The commander quickly called on the two team members to take cover on the spot to avoid being attacked by the large aircraft.
Soon, three large planes flew over their heads. The planes flew so low that they could even clearly see the dog-skin plaster flag on the fuselage. The planes quickly flew over their heads and reached a relatively flat spot.
It hovered over the open space, and small white dots were constantly spitting out from the tail of the plane. The Japanese really fell from the sky.
"Map!" The team leader stretched out his hand, and a soldier quickly took out the map from his briefcase and handed it to him. The team leader looked at the sky and used a compass to determine the direction: "Correspondent, immediately report to the fortress and found out
Traces of Japanese troops, near Lijia Village." This telegram was quickly passed to the hands of Lan Hu, the commander of the fortress garrison, and was immediately forwarded by Lan Hu to Song Yuanming in Changsha.
"Lijia Village?" Song Yuanming walked quickly to the map. Lin Xuan quickly took the command pole and pointed out the location of Lijia Village on the map for Song Yuanming. Lijia Village is located twenty miles east of Xinqiang Town, about fifty miles away from the fortress.
Almost at the edge of the entire search range. Song Yuanming took a deep breath: "Lin Xuan, prepare a car, I want to go to the fortress myself!"
"Military seat! This is impossible. You are the backbone of the entire hunter division. If something happens to you..." Lin Xuan could not estimate the terrible consequences. If something happened to Song Yuanming, the entire hunter division would be affected.
The Hunter Division might collapse immediately. Song Yuanming also understood the danger involved, but this time he had to go. The only special forces that the Japanese devils could use were Masao Sakata's Sakata Commando, which had failed the previous two times.
Let him run away, and you can't let him go no matter what you say this time! Another point is that with the continued embargo on Japan by European and American powers, the little devil's domestic material reserves, especially strategic materials such as steel and oil, are very low.
We are stretched thin. If nothing happens, the Pacific War will break out in advance. By then, China will organize an expeditionary force to fight in Myanmar. Before the expedition to Myanmar, Sakata, this big trouble, must be solved, otherwise he will be a thorn in Song Yuanming's side!
Northern Hunan, Lijia Village. All the villagers in the village gathered at the threshing floor at the entrance of the village, with resentment and grief in their eyes. Masao Sakata stood under a big tree, looking at the villagers' dagger-like eyes,
I couldn't help but sigh. The base camp said that the Imperial Japanese Army's expedition to China was to bring a better and more prosperous life to China and to jointly build the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. But look at these villagers, do they seem to be welcoming? He
The big hand pinched the submachine gun on his chest: "All soldiers obey the order, put down the guns, and do not kill innocent people indiscriminately!" (Japanese)
The Japanese soldiers in the commando team were all a little surprised. Since they entered China, whose hands had not been stained with the blood of the Chinese people. The orders given by their new commander were indeed a bit strange, but no matter how surprised they were, they had to keep it deep in their hearts. They could only obey their superiors.
, obedience and obedience. Masao Sakata also pulled his submachine gun behind his back, indicating that he had no intention of harming them, then took two strides and said in proficient Chinese: "Folks, don't be afraid, we will not harm you.
.I am a professional soldier. As a soldier, what I want to destroy is my opponent, not the unarmed people. As long as everyone cooperates, the imperial army will be greatly rewarded. Everyone knows that the Kuomintang built a bomb at the trumpet mouth.
Fortress, as long as the villagers lead the way for us, the imperial army will reward you with a hundred thousand yuan, and will also give you a house in Peiping."
The common people looked at me and I looked at you, but no one said anything. The Japanese Japs who came this time were indeed a bit evil. Not only were their clothes and weapons different from the previous Japs, but their commanders did not allow indiscriminate killing of innocent people. Even so.
In this way, the common people did not intend to lead them. Since the establishment of this fortress, the Japanese have been firmly blocked outside the bell mouth and can no longer advance even half a minute. And with the further expansion of the arsenal in the rear, many
Everyone's family members work in the factory. Once the Japanese really break through the fortress, they will be the ones who suffer.
"Sir, what should we do? These common people have no intention of cooperating." A second lieutenant came up and whispered to Masao Sakata, "And they have all seen our appearance, right?" (Japanese) Finally said
, the second lieutenant also made a cross-cutting gesture on his neck.
"Inaka-kun, you and I are both soldiers of the Japanese Empire, not butchers on the streets." (Japanese) Sakata Masao sighed. These warriors are the same type of people as Tada Shun, an idiot who tries to scare people with blood and violence.
Defeat the Chinese. Tada Shun's fate is already there. He was assassinated by the Chinese army and seriously injured. When he returned to the country to report on his work, the Sanguang policy was shattered. He slowly shook his head and said loudly: "Since the folks are unwilling to cooperate, I will
I won’t do anything to embarrass myself and say goodbye!”
Ten minutes later, Song Yuanming, who hurried to the fortress, and Lan Hu, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed to Lijia Village with their troops.
"Are you okay, folks?" As soon as he arrived at Lijia Village, Song Yuanming hurriedly jumped out of the car, pulled an old man at the entrance of the village and asked anxiously. He was really worried that Masao Sakata would be harmful to the people.
The old man waved his hand: "Sir, the Japs have a commander who has given orders not to kill innocent people indiscriminately. The villagers are all fine."
"Then it's probably Masao Sakata." Song Yuanming murmured, "Uncle, did the Japanese commander ask you to do anything for him?" The old man thought for a moment and said, "The Japanese commander asked us to lead the way in for them.
The fortress. The folks all know that without a fortress, the Japs will suffer disaster whenever they come in, so there is no one to help them. The Japs commander got nothing, and then he went northwest."
Northwest, isn't that the direction of the fortress? Masao Sakata's sniper team was indeed heading for the fortress. At this moment, a communications soldier carrying a radio hurried over: "Brigade seat, military seat,
A report came from the Military Reconnaissance Battalion that a search team collided with Japanese troops and an encounter broke out, and the entire search team was killed."
"Where did you catch the fire?" Blue Fox asked loudly.
"It's about ten miles northeast of Xinqiang Town," the communications soldier said loudly.
"It's so fast." Song Yuanming murmured, and Lanhu asked Song Yuanming: "Military seat, the Japanese are moving very fast, and our troops have no time to encircle them before they have already escaped. What should we do?"
"Encirclement? Do you think a random unit from the national army can encircle your military reconnaissance battalion? Special forces are all about speed, accuracy and ruthlessness. Ordinary encirclement has no effect at all." Song Yuanming and even the special forces
Characteristics, after thinking for a while, he said: "Signal Corps, order immediately, all the search troops of the Military Reconnaissance Battalion will immediately withdraw to the fortress. Once there is a firefight with the Japanese special operations forces, we must not fight. We do not have the advantage in numbers. Also, if someone is killed in battle,
My brother collects the body!"
"No more searching? Then how can we find them?" Lan Hu didn't understand, while Song Yuanming smiled mysteriously: "We don't need to search for them, the little devils will come to you on their own! Don't forget, they came here specially
What will our rear be doing?"
In early spring, it gets dark early. It was already completely dark around five o'clock in the afternoon. The cold wind was like a knife, cutting people's faces. Because they were deep behind enemy lines and it was night, Masao Sakata's sniper team could not do anything at all.
They were not allowed to light a fire for cooking, so they took out the rice balls that were as frozen as rocks from the lunch box, chewed them a few times, swallowed them with difficulty, and drank a few sips of cold and biting mountain spring water. This was considered a simple dinner.
Wrapped in a sleeping bag and simply rested for a while, the reconnaissance scout hurriedly ran back: "Your Excellency, Major, a large number of Chinese convoys were spotted ahead!" (Japanese) Sakata Masao suddenly became energetic and his sleepiness disappeared: "Let's go.
, go and see." (Japanese)
"Forty large trucks, each with four long wooden boxes, a total of 160 wooden boxes. The size of the wooden boxes is consistent with the transport wooden boxes of Orange No. 1 special cigarettes. The satchels on the transport team's waist are equipped with items like
It's a gas mask, gentlemen, this should be the target we are looking for!" (Japanese) Lying on the mound next to the trail, Masao Sakata used a telescope to observe the convoy on the trail heading towards a cave in the dim moonlight.
"Major, do we need to take action now?" (Japanese) the previous second lieutenant said softly. But Masao Sakata shook his head: "No, now is not the time to take action. In an hour, wait until they kill the Orange No. 1 Special
Let’s take action after the smoke is sent into the cave.” (Japanese)
An hour later, there was no one on the trail anymore. Masao Sakata looked at his watch and made a forward motion with his palm: "Do it!" (Japanese)
A group of the sniper team was divided into three teams. One team of two people rushed into the cave with explosive bags, while the other person quietly went to the machine gun bunker built behind the rocks. One minute, two minutes, five minutes
For several minutes, there was still no movement from the dispatched team. Finally, as Masao Sakata gradually lost his patience, the long-awaited signal flare finally rose into the sky.
"Attack!!!" (Japanese) the order to attack was given. The three gunners took off the grenade launchers from their backpacks, and three flares rose into the sky, followed by an overwhelming burst of grenade strikes. The Japanese soldiers of the sniper team
They charged forward under the cover of artillery fire. "Bang bang bang -" three crisp gunshots, and three thumb-sized blood holes appeared on the helmets of the three Japanese hand gunners, and blood flowed outward.
As soon as the three hand gunners were eliminated, bright searchlights came on on the mountain wall on the top of the cave and on the cliffs on both sides of the trail. The Sakata sniper team that had just rushed to the cave was caught off guard, and each one of them was suddenly dazzled by the intense bright light.
Eye.
"Hit--" With the order, bunches of orange-red flames suddenly spewed out from the originally silent cave. On the mountains on both sides of the trail, soldiers from the military reconnaissance battalion wearing camouflage nets held cold weapons in their hands.
Submachine guns and "Czech-modified" light machine guns fired wildly at the Japanese soldiers on the trail and at the entrance of the cave. Two hundred rounds of metal bullet chains were fed into the gun. The barrel of the gun was red. Replace it with a gun.
Just keep shooting.
At the foot of the hillside, countless soldiers continued to surround Masao Sakata, but with more people, the target was bigger. This area became the key target of the machine guns of the national army soldiers. Watching the subordinates he had trained so hard one by one, he was captured.
In front of him, Masao Sakata felt like his heart was suffocating.
There was a sharp roar of "Boom -", and a bullet came quickly and shot into Masao Sakata's brain from the center of his eyebrow. Song Yuanming on the hillside slowly put down the sniper rifle in his hand: "Sakata, as a soldier, you deserve my respect.
.But I said, if you enter China with a gun, you are my enemy, and I will kill you by any means necessary!"
"Military seat, none of the more than eighty little devils escaped, and all the brothers made dumplings. This time we made a small fortune."
"Clean the battlefield, and by the way, bury the leader of that little devil." Song Yuanming said. Masao Sakata finally solved the problem, and a piece of his troubles was finally removed.
