After agreeing on the content of the reply to Li Tieshu, Gu Lianyun did not leave immediately. Instead, he presented an intelligence fraud plan to Ouyang Yun for review. The fraud plan was to cover up the Pacific Fleet's intention to attack the Philippine Sea. It is too important to China. It is no exaggeration to say that it will even affect China's national destiny for nearly a hundred years in the future. Therefore, from Ouyang Yun to Chen Shichang to the captains, everyone is on standby, hoping that through thorough preparations, Risks are minimized,
In order to collect relevant information about the Karachi Military Base and the Pacific Fleet, the Japanese Navy Ministry specially established an intelligence agency in New Delhi, India, and the senior veteran Koga Mineichi served as the director of the agency. However, what the Japanese did not expect was that , among the team members personally selected by Koga Hoichi, the second lieutenant named Hisamasa Nagashima who is proficient in English is actually a cadet soldier who sneaked into Japan in disguise.
Yes, the true identity of Nagashima Hisamasa is Li Lanwang, a member of the second assassination team sent by Ouyang Yun to Japan to assassinate Koizumi Toshiichiro. There are a total of fourteen people in the assassination team, and only five are still alive. But these five people have taken root in Japan through various means, and their current role is like a bomb lurking in Japan's blood vessels. Once it explodes, it will definitely bring a heavy price to the kid.
There is a secret like Li Lanwang lurking in the New Delhi agency. As long as Ouyang Yun is willing, he can even figure out what kind of underwear Koga Mineichi wears every day. Therefore, the New Delhi agency is not so much used by the Japanese to find out about the Karachi military base and The secrets of the Pacific Fleet were sent to Ouyang Yun's doorstep to fool the little devils with false information.
With such good agents, they must be guided by knowledgeable people in order to maximize their effectiveness. Gu Lianyun's return at the right time is just convenient for Ouyang Yun to strengthen this work. Intelligence work is Gu Lianyun's old profession. Her predecessor, Bai Liusu, had already laid a solid foundation, so after she took over, she made some adjustments. This new Bangkok-based intelligence department has gained super combat effectiveness and has become indispensable in ensuring the security of the Karachi military base. a force of
The focus of this fraud plan planned by Gu Lianyun is to ensure that the Pacific Fleet does not arouse the suspicion of the Japanese before it appears in the Timor Sea. At this time, the New Delhi agency has set up spies in Karachi. As a result, if the Pacific Fleet leaves the base for too long, it will inevitably It will arouse the suspicion of the Japanese army, and this fraud plan is to speed up the Japanese Pacific Fleet.
"Finally, let me change this. When the Taipingyan Fleet was about to arrive in the Timor Sea, the French offline person who revealed the news to Li Lanwang was about to be promoted to lieutenant. Let's help him make a contribution. Look. Let’s see if we can help him get promoted faster.” Ouyang Yun said to Gu Lianyun after reading the plan,
Gu Lianyun smiled and nodded: "I will do as you say. I will go and reply to Lao Li now."
In Madang, inside the headquarters of the First Army Corps of the Xuebing Army going north, Rao Guohua held the telegram sent by Li Tieshu in the name of the General Headquarters. His face turned green and red, and he suddenly threw the telegram on the table, holding the table with both hands. He glanced fiercely at everyone in the headquarters and said sternly: "The headquarters has issued a rigid order. Madang must be captured within three days. Everyone, it seems that a fierce battle is inevitable. Vice President Li was right in his reprimand. We have fought too many battles with favorable winds, and now when we encounter the slightest difficulty, we start to avoid fighting. This behavior is shameful. Our Xuebing Army is famous for fighting against the wind. This glorious tradition cannot be lost on us. Now I order,."
As Rao Guohua issued a series of orders, the battle against Madang officially began.
The Japanese troops stationed in Madang were the Nakamura Regiment and the Uchiyama Regiment. The Nakamura Regiment served as the garrison of Madang. Due to heavy losses in the outer defense battle of Madang, there were actually only more than 1,600 people left at this time. , the Uchiyama Regiment is full-strength, but it only has more than 3,000 people. In the past, when more than 5,000 people guarded a strong fortress like Madang, the enemy army only had more than 30,000 people. Whether it was Nakamura Rao Xiong or Uchiyama Hide. The two captains or the soldiers below are bound to be full of confidence. However, after a day of indiscriminate bombing yesterday, the little devils began to worry about what kind of outcome awaits them. The day-long bombing by the Xuebing Army Air Force actually failed to kill many Japanese, but it shattered Sawada Shigeru's plan to use the Yangtze River Fleet to provide fire support for the Madang defenders. Moreover, because the Xuebing Army Air Force completely controlled the air, The Japanese army's access to air support was also completely blocked, so the Japanese army in Madang had actually become a lone army. It was this cruel reality that aggravated the Japanese soldiers' sense of panic.
After being bombed continuously for a day, both Nakamura Raohiong and Uchiyama Hideyoshi realized that the attack of the Xuebing Army's ground troops was only in the past two days. In the previous peripheral defense battle, Nakamura had fully realized the impact of the Xuebing Army's mechanized troops and The heavy firepower troops were powerful, so when discussing the battle situation with Uchiyama, he proposed that the key to holding Madang was to contain the mechanized troops of the Xuebing Army. To achieve this goal, in the absence of anti-tank weapons, , Whether the soldiers can dare to fight is crucial. Based on this starting point, two people went to the frontline troops to boost morale that night. On the one hand, they vowed to declare that they had received a telegram from Commander Sawada and that reinforcements would arrive within a day or two. At the same time, he cited the daytime air raid as an excuse, saying that the facts had proved the strength of the fortress. Not to mention that there were only 30,000 Chinese people, even 100,000 people could not even hope to capture Madang.
Nakamura and Uchiyama were not mistaken. At about four o'clock in the morning the next day, the night sky south of Madang suddenly turned red, and then with the dull sound of artillery fire, dozens of fireballs burst through the air. The Japanese military guard post immediately blew the whistle,
The battle plan was formulated by Rao Guohua. After three exploratory attacks, he had realized that there was no trick to capture Madang, so he paid more and more attention to the role of artillery, hoping to focus on learning from the 11th Division, the 2nd Fujing Division, and the 18th Division. The artillery of the three divisions concentrated on bombarding a certain area, trying to destroy part of the bunker in this area and open one or two entrances to the underground fortifications, and then adopt a point-to-surface attack method to squeeze the Japanese army step by step. living space, strive to burn the flames of war into the interior of the fortress, and try to downplay the characteristics of the fortress that are easy to defend and difficult to attack.
There are six regiments of artillery in the three divisions, two of which are equipped with 150mm self-propelled howitzers, and the remaining four regiments are equipped with 105mm howitzers, a total of 144 heavy artillery pieces. Once fired at the same time, the momentum is simply earth-shattering. Due to the concentrated bombardment, the reinforced concrete fortifications that were not able to be blasted away by heavy aerial bombs during the day also began to be disintegrated at this time.
