Chapter 0300 Knock the mountain to shock the tiger, beat the grass to shock the snake!
Duan Wu believed that he had made a mistake. Xie Jinyuan was not him. Xie Jinyuan did things strictly and would not take action without conclusive evidence.
But precisely because of this, Duan Wu was worried that Xie Jinyuan would suffer. So he was going to give Xie Jinyuan a heads up. As long as Xie Jinyuan knew that he went to the 174th Division, then he would know what he should do.
Because, judging from the combat formation of the Chongteng detachment, they should have reached the vicinity of Yushan yesterday afternoon. So they stayed here all night without moving. What was the reason for this?
Is it because the firepower is not enough?
But Danwu had already found the artillery position of Chongteng detachment.
And the Yushan position showed no signs of being attacked by artillery fire.
Therefore, the Chongteng detachment must be waiting for something.
Either they were waiting for the order to go up to the peak, or they were waiting for news from the 174th Division.
Combined with the last few words left by Japanese spy Colonel Yamamoto, Duanwu concluded that there might be some problem with the 174th Division, and it was a very serious problem.
Therefore, he wanted to change his tactics. He would personally lead his men to the 174th Division.
Dragon Boat Festival first ordered Zhou Dabang to send sharpshooters to block the road between the 174th Division and Chongteng Detachment. Then he asked Zhu Shengzhong to lead people to continue to investigate the enemy's situation.
And he returned two miles away and found Sun Shiyu, Wei Yong, Lao Shou, Xu Dazhuang, and Sun Bo'an.
Dragon Boat Festival ordered Sun Shiyu, Wei Yong, Lao Huo, and Xu Dazhuang to take their troops to stand by, while he led Sun Boan's 79th Brigade directly to the 174th Division's position.
He wanted to intimidate the 174th Division. Even if Zhong Jiushan really wanted to defect, he would still have to weigh whether his capital was enough.
So the Dragon Boat Festival and his party marched toward the 174th Division in a mighty manner, frightening the sentries of the 174th Division to death.
They thought the enemy had touched them and ran back to their positions to report.
The person in charge of the position couldn't see clearly even with a telescope. He boldly shouted outside: "Who are you? Stop quickly, otherwise we will shoot."
"Go and tell your division commander that Duanwu, the colonel commander of the 88th Division Independent Regiment, is here and ask him to greet him personally."
"No, you are not mistaken, are you? You are the commander of the regiment, and let our division commander come to greet you in person?"
Before Dragon Boat Festival finished speaking, the officers of the 174th Division in the fortifications began to complain.
"What the hell, if I ask you to go, you go. My third brother is the special commissioner. Your division commander is asked to come to greet him. Are you wronging him?"
Sun Bo'an has the biggest temper. Someone dares to question his third brother. If he were not far away, he would have to tear off the other person's head.
This Sun Bo'an is not only physically strong, but also has strong hands. He said he could unscrew a person's head, and he could do it. If his third brother hadn't been right next to him and got angry, he would have dared to lead the person to death.
Go up.
Now Sun Bo'an definitely has the confidence. Duanwu gave him a full set of Japanese equipment, including artillery guns, machine guns, and heavy machine guns. Although his 79th brigade does not have as many people as before, there are two light machine guns in one squad. Each
He has about twenty mortars and a heavy machine gun company. Grandma, he will fight with anyone who refuses to accept it now.
But when the officer of the 174th Division saw that the other driver was driving, he must be driving with bad intentions. He hurriedly ran to report the matter to Zhong Jiushan.
Zhong Jiushan was looking at his military defense plan with Xie Jinyuan. Zhong Jiushan said something absent-mindedly and answered without a word. However, at this moment, someone came to report: "Reporter, many people have come down from the mountain.
The leader said he was a special commissioner."
"Special correspondent?"
Zhong Jiushan was surprised and looked at Xie Jinyuan. Because Xie Jinyuan came on behalf of the special commissioner. At this time, why did the special commissioner come again?
Of course, he would never have imagined that the Dragon Boat Festival had always been at the foot of his mountain. He just didn't show up.
But Xie Jinyuan knew it, and felt that Tuan Zuo suddenly led people up the mountain. Something must have happened, otherwise Tuan Zuo would not have followed him up the mountain.
Xie Jinyuan rolled his eyes and said to Zhong Jiushan: "Mr. Zhong, let's go? Let's go to meet the special commissioner together."
Zhong Jiushan was a little hesitant because he heard from his subordinates that the special commissioner brought many people with him. But he was still considering whether to defect to the Japanese.
He was very conflicted in his heart, because once the special commissioner and these people were allowed to go up the mountain, it would be difficult for him to seek refuge with the Japanese. In other words, his family members would all die.
"What's wrong, Mr. Zhong? Don't you want to invite the special commissioner to go up the mountain?"
Zhong Jiushan's hesitation made Xie Jinyuan see some bad signs. He slowly pressed his hand on the gun at his waist and coughed lightly.
At this moment, the guards inside and outside the house simultaneously opened the safety of their guns and pointed them at Zhong Jiushan's guards.
Zhong Jiushan was startled at first, and then asked: "Captain Xie, what do you mean?"
Xie Jinyuan smiled and said: "It doesn't mean anything. Please go down the mountain, Master Zhong, to greet the special commissioner. That's all."
"snort!"
Zhong Jiushan snorted coldly, put on his coat, and could only follow Xie Jinyuan down the mountain to greet the Dragon Boat Festival.
Of course, this scene was naturally seen by the traitors lurking in the 174th Division. And there was more than one traitor. One of Zhong Jiushan's brigade had all rebelled. They were waiting to surrender to the enemy with Zhong Jiushan and receive a reward from the Japanese.
However, what they didn't expect was that a special commissioner suddenly appeared. They wanted to stop Zhong Jiushan. But they didn't bring so many people with them. After all, the guards led by Xie Jinyuan were all equipped with German-style equipment, which was very intimidating.
Brigadier Tang Shuhua and staff officer Wang Ye discussed it. One went back to assemble the team, and the other went down the mountain to inform the Japanese that a special commissioner had arrived and asked Major General Chongteng what they should do.
So the two of them went their separate ways.
At the same time, Xie Jinyuan had already asked Zhong Jiushan to come down the mountain and come to Duanwu.
Duanwu smiled with satisfaction, at least Xie Jinyuan was fine, and Zhong Jiushan was taken into custody.
There was no one else nearby, only a staff officer, Zhong Jiushan, was there.
Duanwu smiled and said: "Mr. Zhong, don't you have anything to tell me?"
Zhong Jiushan pretended to be calm and said: "I don't know what I have to say."
"I won't cry until I see the coffin. I will let you speak."
Duanwu sneered and ordered Sun Bo'an: "Immediately take over all command of the 174th Division. Anyone who dares to resist will be shot on the spot. All officers above the company level are ordered to go to the headquarters for a meeting. Those who refuse to go or have excuses will be shot."
"
"You, you, what do you mean?"
Zhong Jiushan was angry because he was the leader of a division after all.
Duanwu said: "It doesn't mean anything. I am the special commissioner and I am the biggest here. Everyone must obey orders. Of course, you have the right to call your military commander or even the commission. You have this right. But here
Before, you had to listen to me. Otherwise, you would be shot on the spot,"
Zhong Jiushan said angrily: "I don't believe you have such great power."
Duanwu spread his hands and said nonchalantly: "You can try it."
"··············"
Zhong Jiushan was speechless and thought: Everything is over. If the Japanese knew that he had no use value, he didn't know what they would do to his family.
He seemed to be discouraged.
But Duan Wu doesn't care about this. What he wants is chaos. Because only when chaos occurs will he have a chance.
And this is also the reason why Duanwu did not make any tactical arrangements before arriving at the battlefield. Because the battlefield is changing rapidly and fighting with inherent tactics, once there is a problem in one of the links, all the previously formulated tactics can only be used.
The enemy has an opportunity to take advantage of it.
But what the Chinese army likes most when it comes to war is this kind of operation. They find foreigners and military consultants to formulate a complete battle plan. The battle has not yet begun, but they have already played out the outcome on the sandbox.
But when the fight actually started, it was discovered that if there was a problem with the plan they had made before, the enemy would be killed.
Therefore, since the victory of the National Revolution, the national army has been defeated and fought repeatedly, and it is very perseverant. And it does not know it.
But what about Dragon Boat Festival! He avoids this strange circle and can often win by surprise. His tactics will not be formulated before the battle, but he will decide what tactics to use when he sees his enemy.
Of course, what is indispensable is information. But what is most indispensable in the Dragon Boat Festival is information.
He roughly knew the direction of attack of each Japanese unit and the approximate number of people. He then used this to formulate tactics, which proved to be successful time and time again.
For example, this time, he found that there was no opportunity to take advantage of the Chongteng detachment's defense, and obtained the two-character intelligence "Yu Shan" from Yamamoto Colonel. This led to the analysis that there was most likely an internal problem within the 174th Division.
So he came with the 79th Brigade. He wanted to cause problems in the 174th Division's position first. He would see how the Chongteng detachment moved, and then formulate tactics.
Of course, Dragon Boat Festival's current action can be regarded as a tactic. He can call it knocking the mountain to shock the tiger, or it can be called striking the grass to scare the snake. Anyway, he must make the enemy move, and then look for a fighting opportunity.
Dragon Boat Festival escorted Commander Zhong, and Sun Boan quickly took over the position with his men.
The soldiers of the 174th Division looked very panicked. After all, so many people rushed up the mountain all at once, and they had no idea what was happening. Moreover, all officers above the company level were invited to the headquarters for a combat meeting.
Of course, some people didn't want to go, but they had a gun put to their head. Either go to the meeting or die. It's that simple.
No officer wanted to die, including Brigadier Tang and the thirty or so officers under his command.
There were so many people that the Dragon Boat Festival brought them all to the open space behind the mountain. They were surrounded by Dragon Boat Festival guards. They were all loaded with live ammunition, and all the safety guards on their guns were turned on. Some officers were so frightened that they felt like their calves were cramping.
Many people didn't know what was going on. Suddenly the position was taken over and all the officers were escorted to the open space behind the mountain.
At this time of the Dragon Boat Festival, he stood on a high place and said loudly: "Don't be afraid, everyone. I'm here just to examine each of you. We have received exact information. Some of you have defected to the Japanese."
"You're talking nonsense. What evidence do you have to prove that some of us have defected to the Japanese?"
Brigadier Tang was the first to stand up.
He had two purposes at this time. The first purpose was to use this method to confuse the public. Because he was the one who first surrendered to the Japanese. Otherwise, how could Zhong Jiushan's family be captured by the Japanese?
The second purpose is to arouse the dissatisfaction of other officers. The 174th Division is the Gui Army. The Gui Army has always been known for its bravery, although there are inevitably some scum among them. But most of the Gui Army is still very brave in combat. And in In the battle against Japan, the Gui army also suffered relatively heavy casualties.
Therefore, Brigadier Tang wanted to take advantage of this to make all Gui Army officers dissatisfied with the special commissioner, so that he could escape unscathed.
And his words really had an effect. More than sixty officers of the 174th Division collectively protested against the censorship of them during the Dragon Boat Festival! ...
