Chapter 5: The War Starts, The Military Division Becomes an Army (35)
When Zhang Zizhong and Ouyang Yun were plotting against Dofeiyuan, the old Japanese was also plotting against Zhang Zizhong.
The old Japanese did not complain about God's troubles, such a heavy rain came at this time, but made corresponding strategic changes according to the weather. Rainy days are not conducive to marching, but this is compared to infantry, and For vehicles, this inconvenience is much more minor. The old Japanese had an idea and couldn't help but think: If a surprise force is sent out tomorrow morning to directly enter the 38th Division headquarters in one go, will it have a miraculous effect? If it can be captured alive Zhang Zizhong’s words...
Undoubtedly, this was a great temptation. Therefore, based on this plan, Doihara asked the staff of the division headquarters to begin to deduce it in detail. After obtaining the conclusive data, he decided to take the risk.
The heavy rain is still falling, and China and Japan are frequently mobilizing their troops under the protection of the rain curtain. The war is developing in an unpredictable direction.
At this time, the Nakano Division was already dozens of kilometers away from Doihara, and there was Takaki Kaichi's Division between them. The two received the telegram from Doihara almost at the same time. The two received orders except that the Nakano Division had to send the troops overnight. The vehicles were transferred outside Lizhuang. The other content was basically the same, that is, the most violent attack must be launched at the 38th Division headquarters at dawn, and the 38th Division troops in the middle must be firmly attracted.
In Renqiu Military Camp, in the office of the commander of the Xuebing Army, Ouyang Yun, Pan Meiren, and Bai Liusu were sitting opposite each other and eating. In the conference room next door to them, the ticking telegram was ringing. Hu Tong's team of people responsible for deciphering incoming radio waves were working nervously. Suddenly, a telegraph operator stood up and shouted to team leader Huang Fangfang, who was sitting at the wound and smoking a cigarette: "Team leader, the Tianjin team just intercepted the 108th Division Come and take a look at a telegram from the regiment."
Huang Fang was refreshed, threw the cigarette on the ground and stepped on it. He quickly walked over, took the telegram and read the contents. He called two of his subordinates, walked to his desk, pulled out a code book from it and started. By comparison, about half an hour later, the three people who participated in the deciphering came up with a unified answer, and he took the answer and went out to find Ouyang Yun.
Ouyang Yun and the others had finished eating at this time, Bai Liusu was guarding the door, Pan Meiren was sorting out a bunch of documents, and Ouyang Yun was frowning at a report.
Huang Fangfang knocked on the door and came in. After "reporting", he stood at attention and saluted, and then handed the decoded telegram content directly to Ouyang Yun.
Ouyang Yun couldn't sit still after just one glance. Then he immediately picked up the phone and dialed a number. After dozens of seconds, the call was connected. He said: "Brother Zhang, this is Ouyang."
"Ouyang." Hearing the tone, Zhang Zizhong seemed a little surprised, but due to the special nature of this dedicated phone line, he immediately realized that something important had happened.
Ouyang Yun succinctly reported the contents of the deciphered telegram, and then explained the beheading plan that had been arranged. Finally, he said: "The original plan that Guo Biao and I agreed upon was to execute the beheading plan after Confucius was beaten during the day. Now look at it. They were found neutral during the day. Now that Doihara has mobilized so many vehicles, he obviously wants to carry out a raid. They are now in Lizhuang, which is too close to your headquarters. If he wants to take advantage of the rainy night to carry out a raid all night, Guo Biao and the others may have an opportunity, but if the mission fails or even if the mission succeeds, I think your headquarters will become the primary target. Brother Zhang, I think you should move somewhere."
At that time, Zhang Zizhong had just finished his meal and was listening to the progress report of the 113th Brigade and the 114th Brigade to confirm their current position. When he heard the news from Ouyang Yun, he was surprised at first. After making the suggestion, he thought calmly and said: "The headquarters must not be moved, Ouyang, with the war going on like this, do you know what I am most worried about? I am afraid that the little devil will go crazy and introduce the war into the city. This is also the main reason why I have no intention of concealing our headquarters. Doihara wants to launch a surprise attack, and I think this is an opportunity. If our left-behind personnel can withstand their assault force, Doihara will definitely have the entire army to attack. In this way, First, the 113th and 114th brigades can travel a lot less and take a break. Ouyang, I decided to take a gamble. There are no artillery in Dofeiyuan, and the planes and tanks have also stopped working. And our artillery unit But they are still watching eagerly, huh, the 108th Division is really pressing forward with all the troops. As long as our artillery is still there, it will definitely not be a problem for the remaining troops of our division to hold up for two hours. By then, the encirclement should be completed."
"Are you trying to use yourself as bait?" Ouyang Yun frowned.
Zhang Zizhong laughed loudly: "It's not just me. Chief of Staff Zhang and Deputy Commander Li also have this intention. Ouyang, you are reluctant to let them go. I also want to send them away, but they firmly disagree."
At this time, Li Tieshu's voice came from the microphone: "Military Commander, don't worry, the situation is much better than you think." Then Zhang Zhen said: "Military Commander, just wait for the good news in Renqiu."
Ouyang Yun smiled bitterly. The reason why he suggested that Zhang Zizhong change his headquarters was that he didn't want anything to happen to Zhang himself. On the other hand, he was also worried about the safety of Li Tieshu and Zhang Zhen. The student army's stall was getting bigger and bigger. Military talents like Li Tieshu and Zhang Zhen are particularly important. If these three people fail in this battle, the consequences will be absolutely devastating. It is estimated that the situation in North China and even China will change. However, All three of them had said that, what else could he say? He could only ask Zhang Zizhong to ask Li Tieshu to answer the phone and take care of him seriously. If the situation goes wrong, don't be arrogant. The three of you must get out safely.
Li Tieshu, including Er Zhang, actually knew the importance of the three of them, especially Zhang Zizhong, to the situation in North China. Therefore, Li Tieshu also made a guarantee on the phone that if the situation was really critical, he would definitely turn Er Zhang into a deserter even if he was accused of being a deserter. Zhang Anping sent it out, perhaps to comfort Ouyang Yun. He finally said: "Don't worry, don't we still have a squadron of 'big swords' beside us?"
"Then I'll be waiting for your good news in Renqiu." With that said, Ouyang Yun thought about it and asked Huang Yifang to send an urgent message to the Hutong Tianjin team, asking them to send someone to find Shan Renxiong and tell him to do it. Er Zhang and Li Tieshu must be protected, and he must be allowed to act expediently under special circumstances and use force to kidnap these three people. All consequences must be borne by him, Ouyang Yun.
Then, his high-hanging heart fell back into the air,
