Ouyang Yun and Chen Yuanyang stood on a huge rock near the sea and talked. Waves came up from time to time under their feet, hitting the rocks and breaking them, and then turned into sea water and flowed back into the sea.
This is a fortress position on Dongshan Island. Just behind them, a bunker has a dark mouth, and a Maxim gun is sticking out, like a sharp tooth shining with cold light. Behind the bunker is a fort. Twenty meters to the left of the fort is a bay about three miles long, more than fifty meters wide at its widest point, with a trumpet-shaped mouth. What Ouyang Yun and Chen Yuanyang are talking about now is things related to this bay. ,
Across the bay, there was originally a bare rocky area of about one hectare, but now there are several "tall buildings" three to four meters high. This can be regarded as the most mysterious place of the Higashiyamabe Naval Base, because Except for a platoon of garrison officers and soldiers, no one else is allowed to enter at any time, and only a few people know the purpose of this place completely surrounded by barbed wire.
"You can consider building a few torpedo boats and gunboats out of wood in the bay. That would be perfect. I believe that even in the daytime, it would be difficult for the little Japs to tell the real ones from the fake ones." Ouyang Yun looked at the camouflage he had built based on his own creativity. At the base, he always felt that something was missing. When he saw a torpedo boat not far away that was performing a training mission, he realized that it turned out that a "warship" was missing. A naval base, how could it be done without a warship?
"Well, I will find someone to implement it as soon as possible. Commander-in-Chief, please see if there is anything else that needs to be added."
"How many lights are there now? The protection of the lights must be in place, as well as the wires and cables. Don't let the little devils bomb the entire base and turn it into pitch black. In that case, the little devils will definitely become suspicious. , By the way, have the sound and light effects for camouflaging anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns been made?”
"It has been made, Commander-in-Chief, I will demonstrate it to you tonight."
"Okay, how about the air defense dock? How is the construction going?"
The mountains on Dongshan Island are well connected and the rocks are hard. It is very difficult to dig the air defense dock. Chen Yuanyang said a little ashamedly: "The progress is relatively slow. The rocks on Dongshan Island are too hard and the project is very difficult. Now we can dig in." More than fifty meters."
Ouyang Yun nodded: "We need to speed up the progress. Once the war starts, our ships will definitely be the priority bombing targets of the Japs. We must do everything we can to protect them. Otherwise, once they are lost, we will have to passively defend them." By then, without the constraints of your Dongshan Naval Base, the Japanese army can at least land on the coast of Fujian at will. If the Hainan base cannot catch up, they will have to watch the little devils do whatever they want."
Behind the fort bunker, Bai Liusu and several women's soldiers stood aside. They observed the surrounding situation vigilantly, with a sharp cold light flashing in their eyes. A little further away, Liu Kui and a few soldiers were wandering, Acting as a mobile sentry,
The original intention of Shui Hongxiu and Bai Liusu to form the Detachment of Women was to go to the battlefield to kill the Japanese. However, as the scale of the cadet army expanded and its strength became stronger, their wish became "inappropriate" and they used some very chauvinistic The officer said: "How can we let delicate women go to the battlefield when the men in our military training camp are not dead yet?"
This was so irritating that Shui Hongxiu and Bai Liusu were very angry: "Why can't women go to the battlefield? Didn't Chairman Chiang say that it is everyone's responsibility to defend the land during the War of Resistance? Aren't we women Chinese? You are discriminating against us women, huh, I'm going to Chongqing's New Life Committee to sue you."
The Xuebing Army itself advocates an open social atmosphere, and the media within its jurisdiction are well-developed, so Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's wife came up with the "New Life Committee", which won the unanimous support of the majority of female comrades in Fujian and Guangdong. , Bai Ernu brought out the "New Life Committee" at the right time, which was a good time for the situation. Adding two people, one was Chu Tiange's wife, and the other was the commander-in-chief's fiancée. They were absolutely heavyweights, so they immediately put those people in charge. The male chauvinist was so choked that he lost his temper and dared to continue to "spout nonsense". The two of them refused to give up and actually made trouble with Ouyang Yun again. Ouyang Yun had no choice but to compromise with several big bosses after discussing it. method to formally transfer the Detachment of Women into its own security force to quell the indignation of the female soldiers.
Unexpectedly, this aroused the dissatisfaction of officers such as Guo Biao and Mu Jiandie who were particularly concerned about Ouyang Yun's personal safety. Based on Ouyang Yun's safety plan, even if they had no intention of discriminating against women, they had to doubt their abilities. , After a fierce debate, both sides finally took a step back and reached an agreement, giving the Detachment of Women a three-month probationary period. If there are no problems during the probationary period, they will officially replace Liu Kui's security forces and become the ones guarding Ouyang Yun's personal safety. guard force,
For this reason, every one of them, whether it was Bai Liusu or the accompanying female soldiers, had to be 100% alert during the trip, for fear that if something went wrong due to their own negligence, then the Detachment of Women would really be looked down upon by others.
Bai Liusu once served as the top officer of Ouyang Yun's security force, and Liu Kui was once her subordinate. Therefore, there is no problem with the command sequence of the security force this time. However, whether it is Ouyang Yun himself or Liu Kui, Including Bai Liusu, who had always behaved as if he was facing a formidable enemy, they never expected that there was no problem with the escort of the Detachment of Women, but there was a problem on Dongshan Island. They had just entered Dongshan County and were discovered by someone who was interested.
Yanagawa Kensei, as an elite agent under the Mei Agency, entered Dongshan County when the Taierzhuang battle was at its most intense. As early as a year ago, as Liu Zheliang was building large-scale construction and strengthening defenses in Dongshan County, the Japanese noticed this place. , As Ouyang Yun said, Dongshan may not be the best landing place, but it can play a decisive role in constraining the Japanese army's Fujian and Guangdong strategy. In view of this, various Japanese spy agencies have been trying to find ways to enter Dongshan, but However, he was unable to do so until the appearance of Sanama Raojiro. Not only did Sanma Raojiro successfully infiltrate the army's tank troops as Xue Pengfei, but he also discovered a huge loophole in the army's counterintelligence methods. With his help, Yanagawa, under the pseudonym Liu Dashan, was successfully recruited by an agricultural cooperative in Dongshan as an accountant, and soon brought in three more subordinates to build an intelligence point.
Ouyang Yun, as the top military and political leader of the Xuebing Army, often speaks on TV for various needs. In the seven o'clock news broadcast of Guangzhou TV Station, he is also one of the most exposed leaders of the Xuebing Army. He comes and goes, Yanagawa He firmly remembered the image of Ouyang Yun. He naturally wanted to participate in the ribbon-cutting event for the launch of the "Jinan" for ulterior motives, but what he didn't expect was that he would actually see Ouyang Yun.
Yanagawa was overjoyed by this discovery. He suddenly realized that he had the opportunity to accomplish something extraordinary.
Yanagawa's fundamental task of establishing an intelligence point in Dongshan was to find out the defense situation of Dongshan and provide guidance for possible night bombing by the aviation force in the soon Fujian-Guangdong strategy. But now, this is no longer important. "If we can If the aviation force is immediately dispatched to bomb Dongshan and directly kill Ouyang Yun,..." The result of this idea was really too tempting. Once it grew in Yanagawa's heart, he could no longer resist it. He didn't wait for the ribbon-cutting to end. He hurried back and immediately called the other three people to the secret stronghold. After he expressed his thoughts, the other three people were stunned. One named Yamaguchi Fukushu said in surprise: "It's an opportunity. If you can If Ouyang Yun, the great enemy of the empire, is killed in Dongshan County, haha, then the Xuebing Army will be finished."
Yanagawa looked at them, punched the table with his right hand, and said: "Then it's decided, Nishiki, you quickly send a telegram to Shanghai and ask them to ask Taiwan to contact us immediately. Yamaguchi, you and Maeda prepare immediately With guidance tools and weapons, we must provide the aviation forces with the most accurate bombing coordinates as possible."
"Hai."
Several radio waves traveled back and forth over Dongshan County. Soon, the headquarters of Mei Agency in Shanghai received the message that the matter was of great importance. The remaining personnel of Mei Agency did not dare to make any arbitrary decisions and immediately called Ying Zuozhenzhao back. When Zhao learned the news, his first reaction was to rub his hands in excitement and said repeatedly: "God-given opportunity, God-given opportunity, okay, just do what Yanagawa suggested, don't go through the base camp, and call Taiwan immediately. "
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, at Taiwan's Kaohsiung Airport, as an emergency assembly whistle blew, the airmen of the Asakura Flying Group, who were preparing to eat, picked up their helmets one by one and rushed out of the barracks, cursing,
Asakura Takashi walked at the end. He saw all the ground crews on the tarmac busy, and his brows furrowed. After waiting for his subordinates to line up in front of the control tower, he walked towards Ma, the commander of the Taiwan Second Aviation Regiment. Gong Junichiro asked: "Sir, what happened."
Ma Gong looked very serious. He glared at Asakura and said, "Return to the line."
Asakura Taka is the only ace pilot in the Second Air Corps, so Asakura has always been polite to him. This was the first time he scolded him so sternly like today. Asakura is also aware of current affairs, and immediately realized that something big had happened, and hurried He bowed and ran to stand in line,
Ma Gong glanced at all the aviation soldiers with his sinister eyes, and suddenly said loudly: "Gentlemen, please convey the order of the Governor-General of Taiwan now, Major Asakura."
"Hai." Asakura took a step forward and lowered his head respectfully.
"Order: Asakura Flight Squadron will take off immediately to carry out a bombing mission. Operation code name: 'Cricking Cloud'. Destination: Dongshan Island Naval Base, Fujian Province, China. Mr. Asakura, this is the order, please keep it."
The training focus of Chaocang Battalion during this period is night operations. Dongshan County is the key target of the Fujian and Guangdong strategy. Chaocang has already gone to reconnaissance twice in person. But even so, he still can't understand why he has to go into battle in a hurry, and it's a The whole brigade was dispatched. You must know that there were forty-eight fighters, including as many as thirty-six bombers. He was very worried because the training was insufficient and the distance was long. With so many fighters attacking together, the accident rate would inevitably increase greatly. , if the losses are too great, even if Dongshan Island can be successfully paralyzed, I am afraid that it will be too much than the merit, and he will be reprimanded. He first accepted the order with an instinctive "Hai", and then raised his head and asked doubtfully: " Your Excellency, is this too hasty? Besides, we don’t need so many fighter planes, right?"
"Asakura-kun, these are not your concerns." Ma Gong was uncharacteristically stern and shouted: "As long as you complete the combat mission excellently, you must take off now so that you can get to Dongshan as soon as possible. , there will be people in Dongshan to guide you to the target. Remember, there are three bonfires. When you carry out bombing, throw two more bombs wherever there is light. Do you understand?"
"Hai."
"Okay, everyone, go to war with peace of mind. I will prepare a sumptuous dinner for you to return victoriously. At that time, we will congratulate you together."
The fighter planes in the apron and hangar have completed the collision loading work. Asakura took the lead to walk towards his fighter plane. Half an hour later, all forty-eight fighters took off and were divided into four formations. Under the leadership of Asakura, they quickly headed towards Dongshan. fly away,
After watching all the fighter planes take off, Ma Gong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then ordered to send electricity to Yanagawa, informing him that the fighter planes had set off, and asked him to calculate the time to prepare for the response.
At about eight o'clock in the evening, Yanagawa, accompanied by Zhou Jicai, the president of his cooperative, drove a truck full of rice into the Dongshan Island Naval Base.
The cooperative led by Zhou Jicai is a fixed rice supplier for the base. Not only does he have a pass for the base, but he is also very familiar with many officers and soldiers. Originally, according to the regulations of the base, outsiders are not allowed to enter the base after seven o'clock, but today's On duty, a lieutenant commander named Guo Hai had a good relationship with Zhou Jicai. After the latter begged him hard, he did not show his face and personally inspected the goods on the truck. He found no problems and immediately released them. ,
Guo Hai didn't know that he had made a big mistake. After watching Zhou Jicai's truck drive towards the canteen, he specifically told the guards on duty: "The commander-in-chief is staying here today. You all should be more alert. Qian There must be nothing wrong, do you hear me clearly?"
The four guards replied in unison: "Captain Guo, don't worry. With us here, not even a human, not even a mouse, can even think of sneaking in."
Guo Hai smiled: "That's good."
It is an honor for all officers and men of the Dongshan Navy to have the Commander-in-Chief stay at the Dongshan Naval Base. In view of the fact that the Commander-in-Chief has been assassinated many times in the past, the Dongshan Navy decision-makers headed by Chen Yuanyang attach great importance to the Commander-in-Chief’s security work. In addition to the five channels at the base, The gate implemented a dual-post system, and three additional patrol teams were dispatched on the original basis. However, what they never imagined was that the enemy would sneak into the base through the gate openly.
