After careful identification, it was found that these people were caught randomly to make up the numbers, and no valuable clues were found. The entire operation can be said to have achieved nothing.
This result made the front army very dissatisfied and reprimanded the Gendarmerie Headquarters again.
After this series of severe crackdowns, those who wanted to join the Japanese invaders and provide them with intelligence gave up the idea of making a fortune by selling intelligence. Even the Hanjian spies on staff felt chilled and acted arbitrarily.
Not as active as before.
It's no wonder that these Han spies, including the fake police officers, are all worried that they have provided intelligence to the gendarmerie. If the information leaks out and the underground hoe squad comes to visit, it will definitely be a disaster.
Working for the islanders is just a way of making ends meet, and there is no need to put your own life on the line. Under this situation, there are fewer and fewer people who can provide intelligence to the military police.
The eyes and ears of Izumi Yosaburo and Yokota Takeo are becoming more and more closed, and the threat to the underground side is getting smaller and smaller.
The outstanding performance of Liu Gang and the special forces team members was commended by the underground organization in Peiping. Even Xu Dalong and Li Changshui sent telegrams to congratulate them on their successful operation.
This further aroused the fighting spirit of Liu Gang and others. With the cooperation of the underground team, they launched frequent attacks, and Japanese and puppet personnel were assassinated almost every day.
When the Military Command Beiping Station saw such a big commotion in the underground, they also started to feel itchy. They sent an action team to join the assassination of Japanese and puppet personnel, and assassinated two important figures in the Beiping City Maintenance Committee.
.This makes the public security situation in Beiping City even worse.
The Japanese and puppet troops in the city were completely enraged. They ran around on the streets and arrested anyone they thought was suspicious. Many Japanese and puppet troops also took this opportunity to rob money and extort money.
On this day, the Xicheng Branch of the Beiping Jing Inspection Bureau arrested more than 130 so-called anti-Japanese elements. They demanded money from their families to redeem their people.
This kind of chaos has made the chickens and dogs in the city of Beiping restless and the people in panic.
Seeing the deterioration of the public security situation, the Han Dynasty Maintenance Association in Peiping united with some so-called celebrities in Beiping City to protest to the Military Police Headquarters, asking them to control the chaos in the city and restore law and order as soon as possible.
Izumi Yosaburo and Yokota Takeo really couldn't laugh or cry. Not only the underground party and military commanders were causing trouble, but the Japanese and puppet gangs, a group of shameless guys, also joined in the trouble in order to make money. Although the two were very angry, they had nothing to do. They
Even though they knew that many Japanese and puppet personnel were making money in the name of arresting anti-Japanese elements, they could not punish these guys. Otherwise, no one would be willing to run errands.
Izumi Yosaburo and Yokota Takeo are now helpless, but the special operations team members and the military command action teams are competing with each other. They are constantly taking actions and competing with each other to see who has assassinated more Japanese and puppet personnel and has a higher status of important figures.
.
At the beginning, the difference in the results of the assassination operations between the two sides was not very big. When the military command launched an attack on the island country's overseas Chinese community and killed several influential figures in it in one go, Liu Gang and the special forces members he brought with him
I couldn't sit still anymore, so I decided to choose a more important target and compare it with the general action team.
In the city of Peiping, the most important target is the headquarters of the North China Front. There are a lot of big fish there, and if you catch one, your performance will rise. Of course, as the highest military base of the Japanese army in North China,
The security level there is also at the highest level. Especially with the recent deterioration of the security situation, the Japanese army has specially strengthened its alert level against the Front Army Headquarters. It is understandable how difficult it is to attack the North China Front Army Headquarters.
Liu Gang planned to repeat his old trick and use 240mm heavy mortars to bombard the North China Front Army Headquarters. In order to achieve the best attack effect, Liu Gang, with the cooperation of underground liaison officers, personally went to the vicinity of the North China Front Army Headquarters to conduct reconnaissance.
They repeatedly surveyed the terrain and found that it was very difficult to bombard the North China Front Army Headquarters. The most important thing was that there were many high-rise buildings around the North China Front Army Headquarters compound, and there were no targets at all in the surrounding streets. He chose over and over again.
, there are only two places where you can barely see the North China Front’s compound directly, but the angles are very tricky.
This requires the gunner to have very high shooting skills, otherwise the shells will either fly over the headquarters compound or hit nearby tall buildings.
Liu Gang still trusted the gunners of the special operations team. He took the gunners to these two locations for repeated reconnaissance, but found that there were Japanese and puppet personnel active in these two places at any time. Obviously, the special operations team members could think of the Japanese and puppet troops.
I also thought about it. After all, the Military Police Headquarters had been bombarded by mortars before, and the Japanese army was also studying what angle they would take if the special forces used mortars for bombardment again.
Therefore, these two places became the key monitoring points of the Japanese and puppet troops. Through repeated reconnaissance, Liu Gang believed that the Japanese and puppet troops were very vigilant, and at least they had no chance to attack in broad daylight.
Liu Gang thought twice and decided to take action at night.
After discussing with the gunner, he felt that there was still a chance. After all, the mortars were vehicle-mounted, and they could pass by on the street. As long as they reached one of the two shooting positions, they only needed to slow down their speed.
Carry out shelling. However, they also know that there will definitely be Japanese and puppet personnel monitoring the area. Once they carry out shelling, their location will be discovered by the Japanese and puppet troops immediately, and the vehicle they are riding in will also be chased and intercepted by the Japanese and puppet troops.
, doing so is extremely risky.
After careful consideration, Liu Gang decided to take action. Otherwise, the performance of the special operations team would be suppressed by the military command. This would not only embarrass himself, but more importantly, the special operations team. If this happened, he had nothing to do.
Facing Wei Dayong, let alone explaining to Xu Dalong.
Liu Gang asked the gunners for their opinions, and the gunners were willing to take the risk. They believed that it would only take dozens of seconds to carry out the artillery bombardment, and then quickly evacuate. Even if the Japanese and puppet troops discovered them, it would not be easy to intercept them. After all,
At night, as long as they drove away at high speed and then turned two corners, it would be difficult for the Japanese and puppet troops to track them.
After making up his mind, at midnight that night, Liu Gang drove to the North China Front headquarters with the mortar gunner and two special forces members.
Seeing that he was about to enter the shooting position, the gunner quickly prepared to shoot. Liu Gang, who was sitting in the cab, told the driver to be ready to slow down at any time.
200 meters, 100 meters, 50 meters. Just when the vehicle was about to reach the shooting position, a truck parked on the roadside suddenly rushed out and blocked the middle of the street, blocking the way of Liu Gang and others. There were other people on both sides of the street.
Many Japanese and puppet troops appeared and surrounded Liu Gang and others.
Why did the Japanese and puppet troops suddenly appear here? This matter was arranged by Izumi Yosaburo and Yokota Takeo. They saw important Japanese and puppet targets in the city and were constantly attacked, and they were very worried that the headquarters of the front army would also suffer. They
We also know that the area around the front army headquarters is heavily guarded. If the enemy wants to attack, they will probably use the same method they used to attack the military police headquarters, which is to bombard them with mortars.
According to the intelligence provided by witnesses last time, the artillery that bombarded the Military Police Headquarters was mounted on a car. They expected that if someone wanted to attack the North China Front Army Headquarters, they would use the same method. After all, shelling from a car would
Then quickly evacuate, which is also the best plan for the attackers.
After careful research, the two identified two locations where they could carry out artillery attacks on the North China Front Army Headquarters, and arranged for Japanese and puppet personnel to monitor them. At the same time, a team of military police and a team of pseudo-inspectors were specially dispatched to hide in these two locations.
Around them, they also took precautions at night. They arranged for the vehicles to be kept started and intercepted suspicious vehicles that appeared at night at any time.
Faced with this sudden situation, Liu Gang couldn't help being shocked. He knew that his whereabouts had been exposed. Although the Japanese and puppet troops may not be able to conclude that they have a problem now, the heavy and huge 240mm heavy mortar placed on the car cannot be hidden.
of.
He quickly ordered the driver to reverse the car urgently, hoping to find an opportunity to turn around and evacuate quickly. Unexpectedly, another car came up from behind and stopped on the highway, blocking his retreat.
Liu Gang knew that he was finished, and he decided to give the Japanese and puppet troops another heavy blow before he died. He decisively ordered the driver to rush forward and crash directly into the Japanese truck blocking the road.
Liu Gang did this not because he wanted to die with the Japanese troops in the truck in front, but because the truck was parked at a position where mortars could fire shells. The situation was urgent, and he had no time to notify the mortar crew in the car to prepare for shooting.
He was ready. Based on his understanding of his comrades, he believed that his comrades should know his intentions.
The driver of the car was also a special forces member, and he also knew that the time had come for him to sacrifice his life. He had already been mentally prepared for this day, and he didn't care about any rhetoric at this time. He stepped on the accelerator hard, and the truck swerved towards the road in front of him.
The Japanese military vehicle crashed into it.
Liu Gang's judgment was correct. When the mortar operator in the truck saw the Japanese and puppet troops surrounding him, he knew that his last moment had arrived. When the truck moved forward, he also understood that this was what Liu Gang wanted to create for himself.
Opportunity for shelling. He had already prepared for shelling. He was concentrating on it at the moment. He waited until the truck entered the shooting position and immediately fired the shells.
The surrounding Japanese and puppet troops also saw the crazy behavior of the intercepted truck. They realized that this must be the vehicle in which the anti-Japanese elements were riding, and they all shouted and called for their companions to stop the truck.
