Chapter 1247: Forced to Desperate Situation (2)
When the three trucks that had been stopped for inspection started to drive towards the northern checkpoint of Wanzhuang Town again, there were already nine more corpses in the second tarpaulin-covered carriage, six of which belonged to the Japanese second mixed brigade's supply brigade.
The sergeants and soldiers, and the other three corpses wearing military uniforms without any rank marks, are members of the "Advance Volunteer Army" recruited by the Japanese army from their own expatriates. This shows that the second mixed composition of the North China Garrison Army was formed less than half a year ago.
The quality of the officers and soldiers in the brigade is not very high, and there are not many professional and technical personnel in the army.
The empty truck was transporting ammunition to Anding Town. On the thick bumper of the truck, there was a sun flag more than one foot square. When the truck stopped in front of the checkpoint to check the pass, it was 7:20 in the morning.
, there are still forty minutes until the next sentry takes over.
There was a crooked machine gun mounted on the sandbag ring fortification to the east of the checkpoint. The two Japanese soldiers did not keep the gun in their hands as stipulated in the drill. Instead, they stood inside the fortification and looked at the dusty driver in the cab with a smile.
, not noticing the blood dripping on the dust-covered upper and lower pedals.
Another Japanese sentry stood in the middle of the lowered landing gear. The sergeant among the sentries had strode outside the cab, saluted the driver, and loudly explained that the pass needed to be checked.
The driver with a dusty face smiled at the sergeant outside the car, and what he took out from his body was a pistol with a silencer. The sergeant who had already stretched out his hand suddenly had a look of shock on his face, and just opened his mouth,
There was a "pop" sound, smoke came from the muzzle of the gun, a bullet hole appeared on the sergeant's eyebrow, and red blood poured out instantly.
The two Japanese soldiers in the ring fortifications beside the road watched helplessly as the sergeant fell on his back. Before they had time to react, the gun in the driver's hand emitted light smoke again, and four accurate and rapid bullets hit his head.
A Japanese soldier was killed immediately before he could make a sound.
At the same time, Xiao Qian, who was sitting in the passenger seat, stretched out the pistol outside the window and fired two rounds. The last Japanese sentry standing in the middle of the crossbar was sprayed with blood from his eyebrows and throat, spun half a circle, and fell to the ground.
The rifle in his hand flew more than three meters away.
Six special forces members quickly jumped out of the carriage and dragged the two corpses on the road into the ring fortification as quickly as possible. Then they took their places and replaced the Japanese sentries. The second truck with the corpses suddenly started moving and the front of the truck turned to the left.
After driving into the open space beside the road, the two drivers at the front quickly stopped the car, turned off the engine, opened the door, and got out. After a few ups and downs, they jumped into the first truck compartment and received two Czech machine guns from the brothers hidden in the compartment.
Start methodically checking and loading magazines.
The crossbar was raised high, and the two trucks drove into the town slowly. They did not stop when they passed the gate in the middle of the low courtyard wall of the temporary material warehouse, but kept driving towards the south of the town. The upper body of the two trucks
The special forces team members wearing Japanese military uniforms looked at the heavily guarded courtyard. Under the puzzled gaze of the sentry in front of the door, they continued to move forward, seemingly heading directly to Langfang or Tianjin further south.
The two trucks did not go far, but turned around and returned in a wide area more than 200 meters away from the Japanese military checkpoint in Zhennan. The four machine guns in the two carriages were already mounted on the side panels of the carriage. Two of the machine guns had magazines in them.
The bullets are standard tracer bullets.
Dozens of Japanese soldiers in the material warehouse were busy going back and forth amidst the yelling of a lieutenant. There were also dozens of Japanese expatriates from the "Forward Volunteer Army" wearing military trousers and white shirts who came from the inside of the warehouse.
Boxes of ammunition were moved out and loaded into two trucks. The two sentries in front of the door seemed to have noticed something suspicious about the two trucks that were returning. They quickly came together and pointed at the trucks that were slowly coming to discuss it intensively.
However, everything was too late. The machine gun on the roof of the driving building of the first truck sprayed out strings of fire snakes. Two bursts of "click, click, click" fired, causing the two Japanese sentries who had already raised their guns to spin. The other three
Machine guns were aimed at the busy yard and fired at the same time. The whole yard suddenly started to run wild and howl.
The machine gunner on the second vehicle finally took aim at a pile of oil drums piled deep in the yard, with a corner exposed. In ecstasy, he pulled the trigger of the machine gun without hesitation, and a string of bullets trailed an orange-red tail flame.
, lightning flew away, followed by an earth-shaking loud noise. Dozens of oil barrels roared into the sky in the flames. The splashing fuel was like a burning flood, instantly swallowing up the entire material warehouse and all buildings within a hundred meters.
Things burned and collapsed like paper, turning into ashes in an instant.
The shock wave generated by the strong explosion, carrying scalding airflow, hit them head-on. The frightened special team members dropped their machine guns and lay down in the car, subconsciously covering their ears that had lost their hearing, and they were in excruciating pain.
The two trucks that accelerated suddenly almost fell over under the impact of the heat wave. After several struggles, they finally managed to escape the fate of destruction. They rushed through the fireballs flying in the sky and the charred oil drums falling from time to time, and ran towards the north of the town, scorching in the flames.
The ammunition in the explosion exploded continuously, with sound waves for dozens of miles. The entire surface of Wanzhuang Town trembled and undulated again and again. The roofs of houses were lifted off in the blast shock wave. Thick smoke like black mushrooms, mixed with
The raging flames shot straight into the sky, and the whole town was as miserable as a hell on earth.
A group of brothers on the mound in the north of the town looked up at the billowing smoke that blocked the sky in the south. They couldn't help but be stunned. It took more than two minutes to remember to rush to the radio transmitter under the bushes below and quickly transmit the news of the successful attack.
He took all the gear and equipment with him, ran down the mountain, quickly caught up with the oncoming truck, turned over while running at high speed, and continued to escape north.
Three kilometers further along the road, you will reach an area with dense river and water network. As long as you escape into the dense reed swamps and patches of weeds and shrubs, the Japanese army will not be able to catch up even if they dispatch 10,000 people.
...
At 9:10 in the morning, Lushan, the Military Commission enlarged meeting.
The theater division plan has been discussed, but the formation of the national army and the group army sequence distribution plan are still under intense discussion.
An Yi sat quietly, second to the right of Chiang Kai-shek, lowered his head, holding a pen, and kept writing in his notebook. He seemed to be concentrating on recording different opinions from all sides. No one could tell from An Yi's calm and focused expression.
What tendency can be seen in the expression?
Li Liejun, Chen Cheng, Yang Jie and other generals were familiar with An Yi's habit, so they didn't pay too much attention to it. However, Bai Chongxi, who was sitting in the top position of An Yi, was a little surprised. He secretly thought that An Yi was getting deeper and deeper into the city.
.
In fact, it is not that An Yi has a deep city, but that An Yi feels that there is really no need to fight for the designation of a group army. There are more than 2.8 million troops in the country, and there are only a few that can truly be called a group army. Instead of fighting with others,
It is better to sit back and watch and be at ease than to fight until you are red-faced. The strength and scale of the Anjia Army are there. In the end, there is no problem in getting two or three group army designations. The only uncertainty is just what designation they will get, and no one can do it.
Dare to be a little bit contemptuous, it is actually better not to argue than to argue, which makes people feel more scrupulous and even intimidating.
The venue where the debate was going on was a bit chaotic. No one noticed that An Yi's deputy chief Shen Fengdao quietly walked up behind An Yi, handed over a neatly folded message paper and left immediately.
Bai Chongxi couldn't help but look at An Yi. After reading the telegram, An Yi straightened up suddenly, took a deep breath, nodded slightly to Bai Chongxi, stood up, walked behind Chiang Kai-shek, and gently placed the telegram on the table in front of Chiang Kai-shek.
Chiang Kai-shek turned to look at An Yi, frowned and opened the message. After reading it, he was suddenly shocked. He stared at An Yi who returned to his original position and sat down slowly for a long time. He exhaled and stood up, and gave three high-fives. The venue immediately became quiet:
"Everyone, the morning meeting is here for the time being. Please think carefully and repeatedly consider today's motion. A resolution must be formed at this afternoon's meeting, because we don't have much time anymore. Let's adjourn the meeting!"
All the generals looked at Chiang Kai-shek in shock. Seeing that Chiang Kai-shek had sat down and lowered his head to read the message in his hand, they all stood up and dispersed one after another. Only the new Chief of General Staff He Yingqin, Deputy Chief of General Staff Bai Chongxi and An Yi were left behind. Down.
"An Yi, please tell us about the emergency situation in Wanjia Town in North China more than an hour ago." Chiang Kai-shek's livid face showed no expression at all.
"yes!"
An Yi stood up and reported in a low voice: "At around 7:50 this morning, we observed a shocking situation at the front line of the 17th Division of the 5th North China Army. In Wanjia Town, north of Langfang, occupied by the Japanese a few days ago, Suddenly, violent and continuous explosions occurred, with flames and thick smoke reaching hundreds of meters high. The huge explosions could be heard by our army's forward positions more than ten kilometers away from Wanjia Town.
"The headquarters of the Fifth Army sent an emergency report. Preliminary analysis is that there was an explosion in the Japanese oil depot or ammunition depot. The specific cause is unknown, and the Japanese losses are unknown. However, the possibility of revenge by the soldiers of the 38th Division of the 29th Army cannot be ruled out. If this If our judgment is correct, North China will be filled with gunfire and darkness, and an all-out war between China and Japan will be inevitable. We must make all preparations in advance."
"ah……"
"What? What did you say..."
An Yi shook his head helplessly and sat down. Everyone's eyes immediately fell on Chiang Kai-shek's face.
Chiang Kai-shek raised his hand to his mouth and coughed softly: "Everyone, I have a premonition that the 29th Army is in danger. Song Mingxuan nominally has 150,000 troops, but these 150,000 troops are scattered around Pingjin and Tianjin, which covers thousands of square kilometers. In areas such as Beiping, Miyun, Tongzhou, Daxing, Nanyuan, Tangshan, Tianjin and other places, the camps of the 29th Army were all intertwined with the Japanese army or the traitor armed forces from all walks of life in eastern Hebei. Once the Japanese army became angry and launched revenge, the poorly prepared two armies The various units of the Nineteenth Army will be locked in a bitter battle, and it is estimated that as many as half of the troops will be defenseless and will be destroyed in a matter of seconds."
"Now that the matter has come to this, we still need to notify General Song Mingxuan as soon as possible and take precautions early, otherwise it will be too late!" He Yingqin suggested anxiously.
Chiang Kai-shek nodded: "It stands to reason that the generals of the 29th Army have been informed of this matter. Song Mingxuan returned to Peiping last night, and he has enough time to issue a series of emergency orders. But what I am worried about is... I won't go into details, Jingzhi's opinion Very good, just send an urgent telegram to Song Mingxuan. Please, as the chief of general staff, please handle it quickly."
"yes!"
He Yingqin stood up and left in a hurry.
Chiang Kai-shek stared at An Yi's eyes for a long time. When he saw An Yi shrugging his shoulders and showing a very innocent expression, he could only sigh quietly and whispered:
"This incident also caught me off guard! Jiansheng, you, Ci Xiu, and An Yi, together, quickly come up with an overall emergency plan, especially how to command the various units of the Fifth Army to support the operations of the 29th Army.
Prioritize consideration.”
"yes!"
Bai Chongxi answered calmly.
"An Yi, go and invite General Huanzhang, General Meng Xiao and other members of the Standing Committee. Such a major event needs to be reported to them in time. In addition, you must be prepared at any time. Judging from the current situation, I am afraid you will have to leave for North China.
