Chapter 684 The Frightening Reservoir
During this period, the Chibei Brigade has been testing each other with the Hunter Brigade from Koto, and the two sides exchanged small-scale fires many times.
The hunter brigade has superior equipment and more advanced tactical theories. It can often gain the upper hand in firefights and naturally suffers fewer casualties than the red reserve brigade.
After receiving the order from Okamura Neiji, Sasaki frowned. It was not that he was unwilling to go to the industrial base to guide the bombers, but because the Hunter Brigade had been staring at the Chibei Brigade. If he wanted to carry out this mission secretly, he would have to spend a lot of money.
A lot of thought.
The first is to divert the attention of the hunter brigade so that Chibei's main force can smoothly sneak into southeastern Shanxi.
To do this, someone must take the initiative to sacrifice.
The target of the Akabe Brigade was always the Hunter Brigade. Sasaki was not willing to sacrifice any of his soldiers before defeating the Hunter Brigade.
But for the sake of the overall situation of the battle, he had to make a decision.
He ordered the No. 2 Middle School to move in the direction of Datong, with the target being the Chinese oil depot.
In addition, Sasaki also asked a 400-man Japanese army to disguise itself as the Chibei Brigade and march north to Chengde.
I want to use these two smoke bombs to attract the attention of the hunter group.
Then he personally led the 1st and 3rd Squadrons, pretending to be ordinary soldiers, and left Peiping in a truck to garrison in Hebei.
The Second Squadron, which went to Datong to attack the oil depot, was surrounded by the Hunter Brigade as soon as it entered Shanxi. Not one of the more than 100 imps armed with 100-type submachine guns slipped through the net, and they were all wiped out.
It is worth mentioning that at the end of the battle, the Japanese special forces members actually took a stabbing posture with their submachine guns.
Looking at the funny Hundred-type submachine gun with a bayonet in the Japs' hands, the soldiers of the hunter brigade felt strange!
In special operations, they actually have to fight with the enemy with bayonets. How do the Japanese brains grow?
The brothers in the hunter brigade did not give the red-eyed Japanese special forces members a chance to stab each other, so each of them rewarded them with two bullets.
The longest range of the Japanese submachine gun is less than 150 meters, and the new assault rifles held by the soldiers have a range of nearly 600 meters. Under such circumstances, no one cares about the Japanese weapons and equipment, and everyone just cleans the battlefield hastily.
.
"Captain, the Third Squadron reports that there is something wrong with the Japanese special forces team that went to Chengde. They acted sluggishly and reacted slowly. They don't look like they came from the Red Bei Brigade."
Tan Pei, captain of the first squadron, came over and said to Chen Zhengyue.
Chen Zhengyue seemed to have thought of something, and he ordered in a cold voice:
"Since you feel something is wrong, then do it to him. If it is true or not, you will know once you try it!"
"clear!"
Peiping, Tianjin, Hebei and other places are still Japanese territory for the time being. There are really too many ways to make a special forces force of several hundred people disappear.
In the evening of that day, Chen Zhengyue received a reply from Yuan Fei,
The main force of the Red Bei Brigade is missing!
Chen Zhengyue's eyelids twitched wildly, and he immediately informed the Corps Headquarters and the Military Intelligence Bureau of the news.
The Military Intelligence Bureau also paid unusual attention to the Chibei Brigade. They even discovered that the main force of the Chibei Brigade had disappeared a few hours earlier than Chen Zhengyue.
A very capable special forces force suddenly released smoke and disappeared invisible. All fools knew that something was wrong, and the Japanese were holding back a bad move.
All of a sudden, all lines of the Military Intelligence Bureau were activated and began to search for traces of Chi Bei.
…
On the evening of June 2, outside Gaoping Industrial Zone.
Sasaki and more than 300 special forces soldiers were hiding in the forest. As the sun set, everything in front of him was golden.
The golden mottled leaves swayed quickly, and the team members who went out to investigate returned.
"Have you found the way in?" Sasaki asked anxiously.
The investigators shook their heads in frustration,
"Your Majesty Colonel, the entire industrial base covers an extremely large area, almost larger than a county town, but we have been around for a day and still can't find a road that can bypass the reservoir.
The steel plant is behind the reservoir, and if we want to guide it well, we must pass between the two reservoirs!"
"Baga!"
Sasaki hammered the ground covered with dead leaves in frustration.
Before it got completely dark, the other two groups of scouts also returned.
They brought the same news to Sasaki, and there was no possibility of detours.
Sasaki held up his binoculars and looked ahead through the gaps in the forest. In the darkness, the outline of a tall and towering reservoir was looming.
The industrial base in Gaoping is surrounded by more than 20 reservoirs. Before arriving here, Sasaki had never received any information about the reservoirs.
I learned about the reservoir from the mouths of the people nearby.
As for that square building that gives people a great sense of oppression, is it a reservoir?
Sasaki himself wasn't sure.
It was when he saw the cold building that a strong sense of crisis always arose in his heart.
It was as if there was a voice telling him that it was dangerous there and he should not go near it. If he came close, he would die!
However, in order to complete the mission assigned by His Excellency the General, we must pass through the reservoir.
There is no light in the dark reservoir, and it seems that it is really just a "reservoir" used to prevent water leakage in industrial areas.
After struggling for about 10 minutes, Sasaki's sense of mission as a soldier forced him to make up his mind. He had to go in and take a look.
"Send a message to the headquarters that we have arrived at the scheduled location and will provide target guidance to the bombers on time!"
"Hiyi!"
…
Military Intelligence Telecommunications Interception Division.
A female confidential officer on duty suddenly shivered. She stared at the flashing light of the radio station for half a second before hurriedly putting on her earphones.
The rhythmic beeping sound of the radio signal sounded in the earphones. The female confidential officer's eyes gradually widened and she shouted towards the door:
"Director, an unknown telecommunications signal has been detected!"
…
At 05:00 in the evening, on a main peak in the northern mountainous area of Gaoping, three young researchers from the Military Science Research Institute had just finished a day of debugging work. They were slumped in chairs, eating dry food and chatting.
The Academy of Military Sciences successfully developed an air defense early warning radar, and the first radar was installed on this main peak.
The radar requires a lot of debugging from installation to official start-up. Three young researchers and their director have been on this main peak for almost a week.
"Hey, I didn't expect that debugging work would be more tiring than doing paper calculations," one person said.
"We worked overtime tonight until this point and finally completed the task. It can be handed over to the military for use tomorrow. I hope there won't be any big problems."
"By the way, our radar is on, right? Why is there no response at all?"
The last person looked at the dark green blank display screen of the radar and said with some sadness.
They personally completed the research and debugging of this radar, so they are looking forward to seeing the scene when the target is captured.
After hearing this, the other two people also looked at the dark green display screen, with deep emotions in their eyes.
It seemed that the radar heard their thoughts, and several bright spots began to appear on the display.
All three of them looked shocked, blinked their eyes wildly, and pinched their thighs.
After realizing that he was not mistaken, he started to look both excited and nervous.
"one two three……"
During the first scan, five bright lights appeared on the display interface. When the radar beam was scanned again, the number of bright lights on the display screen changed from 5 to 13.
The look of anticipation in the eyes of the three people was gone, and they all turned into nervousness.
"Director..."
One person shouted with trembling lips.
………
"What's going on now?" Jiang Dong climbed out of bed wearing only a shirt.
Tang Yun stared at the information scrawled on the paper and spoke quickly:
"First, the Telecommunications Interception Division of the Military Intelligence Bureau discovered that there were unknown telecommunications signals near Gaoping.
The radar station called two minutes ago, and it captured 13 unknown targets when it was first turned on, approaching Gaoping."
"Isn't the radar station not yet in use?" Jiangdong asked subconsciously.
"I heard that the staff worked overtime until 12 o'clock and can already work normally!"
Jiang Dong quickly walked to the yard, and Xie Chengrui, Song Li and others also rushed over after hearing the news.
"The radar of the Academy of Science is developed on the basis of the Watson Watt radar, with a maximum detection range of 150 kilometers." Jiangdong said to himself:
"The plane coming at this time must be a Japanese plane. Okamura Neiji wants to treat others the same way as others! The speed of the plane is 300 kilometers per hour, and it takes half an hour to fly 150 kilometers per hour.
No, there shouldn’t be half an hour left now!”
Xie Chengrui and Song Li heard Jiang Dong's words clearly, and their faces became nervous.
Jiang Dong turned to look at the two of them and said in a tone that left no room for doubt:
"Notify Gaoping immediately, sound the air defense alarm in Lu'an and Jincheng!
Let the first squadron of the aviation group get ready for takeoff!
Order the Air Defense Command to prepare for first-level combat. If the Japanese really come for the industrial base, prepare a gluttonous feast for them!"
Chapter completed!
