The commander's trust undoubtedly seemed to have given Major Yasuhiro Takada steroids. After completing preparations in the shortest time, he was afraid of a long night and had many dreams, so he led the team under the cover of darkness that night with the commander's approval. , left Chifeng quietly, followed the route he had planned, and under the guidance of several agents who were familiar with the terrain, moved at full speed toward the location reported by the plainclothes team at a rapid march.
In order to reach the destination as quickly as possible, in addition to carrying five days of supplies, this guy only carried two bases of spare ammunition for the entire army. At the same time, in order to keep his whereabouts secret, he did not contact any troops on the front line. They did not enter any strongholds along the route for rest and recuperation.
For his so-called confidentiality, he killed all the scattered people he encountered along the march to silence him. He even massacred two small villages on his march route to ensure that his actions would not be leaked. For him, He said that as long as he could succeed, it didn't matter how many Manchus died.
When he led the attached troops and traveled through the starry night to the southeast of the paddock, where the plainclothes team discovered the situation, after carefully observing the situation in the village at the foot of the mountain, Major Yasuhiro Takada excitedly discovered that he was right in his bet this time. Judging from what he observed, he even believed that this was the headquarters of some advancing army that was currently entering Rehe from Guan Nei.
After all, he graduated from a regular Japanese military academy. This guy's eyes were very vicious, and his vision was much more accurate than those of plainclothes captains who were spies or bandits. The two radio antennas with a power of at least fifty watts appeared from the telescope. , he was very aware of the communication capabilities of the Chinese army, and he understood that the enemy army in the village in front of him was definitely a high-level command.
This guy was very attentive. After discovering this, he did not act rashly, but patiently observed for a long time, and made a rough estimate of the enemy's strength and actual situation inside and outside the village. After the estimation results came out, he was excited to find that he was lucky this time.
The situations seen in the telescope, especially the situation reported by the plainclothes team in the village, all prove that the level of the headquarters here is not generally high, and under the current situation, the organization here is most likely to is their high command.
After discovering this, Yasuhiro Takada almost shouted out in excitement. As long as this headquarters can be eliminated, it will undoubtedly have the most fatal impact on the current battle situation in Jehol. As long as he can destroy this headquarters of the advancing army, What you can get is not just as simple as a medal.
After successfully capturing two commanding heights, his excitement undoubtedly increased to another level. Without any hesitation, he ordered an immediate all-out attack to cleanly and neatly attack in the shortest possible time. Eliminate the biggest destabilizing factor in the current security and stability of Rehe.
After discovering the secret of this village, Yasuhiro Takada was excited and secretly felt lucky. If he hadn't accidentally discovered this report among the reports of so many plainclothes teams currently active in the Rexi and Rezhong areas. , this information that will play an important role in one's future career will most likely be wasted.
However, while he was glad that he had seized this opportunity, the guy looked at the small mountain village down the mountain where a big fish was hidden in his eyes. He was more excited and fanatical. For the Japanese soldiers like him, who were still young officers, Officers will always put so-called merit first.
Fanaticism is fanaticism, excitement is excitement, but Major Yasuhiro Takada has not been dazzled by everything in front of him. As a senior combat staff officer, he still knows the principle of quick victory. At present, he is alone deep into the enemy's territory. In the rear, there is not even a friendly force in the surrounding area that can cooperate with the battle.
Once the war is delayed and reinforcements from the surrounding areas arrive, not only will I not be able to get the medal, but I am afraid that my life may be at risk here. Taking risks is taking risks, but the premise of this risk is that you can obtain corresponding benefits. If even his own life could be handed over here, then even if he destroyed this headquarters, any honors would have nothing to do with him. For him, it would be too much of a loss.
So after taking two commanding heights, he launched an attack as soon as he came up and concentrated most of the troops on hand. For him, the sooner the battle here is resolved so that he can escape as soon as possible, the better. He doesn't want to delay here. It has been too long. His life is very precious. He will be a general in the future and cannot be left in vain in the desolate mountains of Manchuria.
Looking at Major Yasuhiro Takada, who pretended to be calm but had an excited expression on his face, Cui Sihu, the captain of the Sixth Plainclothes Team of the Rehe Independent Defense Force, who was standing next to him, said with a charming smile: "Major Takada Your Excellency, you have caught a big fish this time. It looks like a large headquarters here. As long as you can destroy this headquarters of the Communist Army, it seems that your promotion is just around the corner."
"Major Takada, there are a lot of female soldiers here. Even according to the standards of the Chongqing Army, this is at least a brigade headquarters. To be able to go to the battlefield with so many colorful female soldiers, this must be at least a brigade. Commander, capturing a brigade commander is a great achievement. Your Excellency, Commander, will definitely promote you heavily."
Regarding Cui Sihu's words, Major Yasuhiro Takada shook his head and said in a somewhat contemptuous tone: "You don't understand anything. According to what I learned about the configuration of the Eighth Route Army in certain aspects when I was in the North China Front, from the radio Judging from the size of the antenna, the equipment on the characters appearing in the village, and the number of guards following behind them, this should be their headquarters."
"If the situation here is really as we expected, then as long as we can destroy this place and eliminate the Eighth Route Army headquarters here, it will be a great boost to the entire Jehol war situation, and it can even completely solve the current security situation in Rehe. Hidden dangers will be eliminated, allowing Rehe to once again become the royal paradise of Manchukuo."
"You Manchus and Chinese people have a saying, which is to hit the snake within seven inches. As for the current banditry in Rehe, this is the seven inches of the snake. As long as this area is eliminated, all the difficulties currently encountered in Rehe will be eliminated." All problems will be solved, and the Kwantung Army can focus all its energy on facing the pressure from the north."
"As for me personally, as long as I can serve the Holy War and His Majesty the Emperor, that's enough. Our soldiers of the Japanese Empire are different from the corrupt Chinese soldiers. You Chinese soldiers only join the army to get promoted and get rich. They have no loyalty to the country. Yes, and we, the Imperial Japanese soldiers, join the army for the holy war of His Majesty the Emperor and to be loyal to the Imperial Japanese Empire."
At this point, I may feel that my high-profile singing in front of this despicable Manchurian is enough, and I should put down my arrogance and win over these local snakes. After all, the empire still cannot do without these people if it wants to govern China and Manchuria. And now, I need the help of these people even more.
After thinking about it, Yasuhiro Takada's tone became slightly more relaxed and he said: "But Mr. Cui, if this battle plan can achieve perfect results, you and your subordinates will also create an unparalleled feat for the Empire of Japan and the Manchu Empire. , among which your efforts and meritorious service in this battle, I will truthfully report to the Commander and the Kwantung Army Headquarters. When the time comes, you will receive a big reward. In your Manchurian terms, it is called Get promoted and make a fortune."
Although some look down on these low-grade Chinese people who would sell out their own country for a little glory and wealth, Major Yasuhiro Takada also knows that if the empire wants to gain a foothold here and really control this place, it cannot do without These Chinese people are familiar with local conditions.
So even though some people were bored with this guy next to him, Major Yasuhiro Takada had a somewhat dismissive expression, but he still tried to be calm in his tone, and even gave this guy a big sweetener in the end, so that this guy could be more useful to everyone. Imperial Japanese service.
But who is this Cui Sihu next to him? How can he not see this in his thoughts? This guy has been running rampant in the countryside since he was a child. He joined the gang and became a horse bandit at the age of seventeen and became a famous horse bandit leader in Rehe. When he was a teenager, he shot his sworn brother and defected to the then Rehe Dutong. Later, Tang Yulin, the chairman of Rehe Province, has been under the guidance of Tang Yushu, the fifth brother of the Rehe Dutong who regarded Rehe as his own independent kingdom. Served in the cavalry brigade as brigade commander.
This guy is very versatile and has a strong ability to adapt to the situation. The most important thing is that he is ruthless and ruthless. In addition, he has good marksmanship. He is very valued by Tang Yushu, who specially does some dirty things for him. In addition, he had robbed a large amount of property for the bandits over the years, and he had no shortage of money. He used the power of money to win over people's hearts. In just a few years, he was promoted from a small company commander to the deputy of the cavalry brigade, and he had a certain amount of knowledge in his hands. strength.
Otherwise, given the habit of employing people who only trusted his relatives and his old subordinates in the Fengjun Army, the Rehe Governor would have been able to accommodate him as an outsider in just a few years. Like the horse bandits who were also recruited by him, it is not impossible to send them to a remote village to serve as a security captain in name but without pay, or to use them as cannon fodder, and even use their heads to alleviate the public anger caused by his excessive accumulation. .
Cui Sihu is naturally very clear about his status. He also knows that if he does too much of some things, he will be silenced sooner or later. In addition, this guy is also unwilling to stay under others for a long time. He thinks he is famous but has no real power, but in fact he has no power. A lieutenant colonel with little military power.
After the Japanese invaded Rehe, Tang Yulin's subordinates were very successful in driving this guy. Seeing that the defenders of Rehe were defeated again and again, they followed Li Shouxin, the current deputy commander-in-chief of the Mongolian Army, in Kailu. Surrendered to the Japanese army and became the first batch of Rehe troops to surrender to the Japanese army, which enabled the Japanese army to conquer the Rehe gate to Kailu without a fight, and the entire Rehe gate was opened wide.
After Li Shouxin's headquarters was transferred to Chahar, this guy was appointed by the Kwantung Army because he had been a bandit for many years and was very familiar with the mountains, rivers, terrain and people's sentiments of the entire Rehe, and his eyes were extremely vicious, which he had trained for many years as a bandit. He is the captain of the detective team of the Rehe Police Department, specializing in hunting down so-called anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements for the Kwantung Army.
