Chapter 19 Know yourself and your enemy


The Japanese garrison in Jiangdong was originally small.

After the outbreak of the Pacific War, a large number of troops were transferred to Nanyang.

The troops on the Chinese battlefield were even scarcer.

Elite soldiers were placed on the front line.

There were only garrison brigades in the rear, and there was a serious shortage of experienced grassroots officers and non-commissioned officers. , the combat effectiveness is not the same as it was in 1937.

Thousands of Japanese troops plus the Peace Army could not destroy a small team of only 500 people.

Instead, they were greatly killed by aerial firepower.

In 1943, the Chinese sky was no longer dominated by the Japanese army and navy aviation, but a stage for the Sino-US joint air force.

The United States officially entered the war, and the mercenary Flying Tigers were incorporated into the U.S.

Army Air Forces, still under the command of Chennault.

In fact, the relationship between Chennault and Stilwell was not very harmonious, but the relationship between Chennault and Chen Zikun was very good.

Air support or something, just one sentence.

After fighting for three days and three nights, Chen Zikun's 500 Tigers were basically unscathed.

They had 105 howitzers and 81mm mortars for fire support.

The shells were fired as if they were free.

The Japanese artillery was unable to suppress them and was of no use at all. .

The most powerful weapon of the Chinese army is not the artillery, but the .50-caliber Browning heavy machine gun.

This thing has extremely powerful firepower and a long range.

The Japanese infantry artillery grenade heavy machine gun is completely unable to fight against it.

It was intensively attacked as soon as it appeared.

Even if they are destroyed by strafing, tanks and armored vehicles will be scrapped even if they are hit by two rounds.

Such bullets can stop and break people when they hit them.

There was once a squadron of cavalry who wanted to outflank them, but they were swept head-on by several jeeps equipped with large-caliber machine guns from the Chinese army.

Come over, the horses can penetrate it, and the whole cavalry squadron will be wiped out within five minutes.

This is simply not fighting, it is sending death.

Without heavy weapons and air supremacy, this battle was impossible to fight.

Some of the supplementary soldiers who had just arrived on the battlefield in China were trembling with fear.

The veterans sighed.

They all thought of the time when the war first started in 1937, when the Japanese army suppressed the Chinese army and fought like this.

Yes, artillery and bombers bombard indiscriminately, and most of the Chinese troops are often wiped out before they even get close to the front line.

Now that the situation has changed, it is my turn to taste this taste.

The Japanese army fought very hard, but the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army fought more and more smoothly.

They ate lunch meat and biscuits, smoked camel cigarettes, drank Coke and brandy, slept in sleeping bags and tents, and even had Gillette razors and The playing cards were all airborne.

In order to save time on laundry, the Air Force also dropped a large box full of underwear, which was extremely considerate.

They were proud and arrogant, but they didn't know that in order to support this battle, the entire southwest military airport had not stopped, and all transport planes were airlifting supplies for them.

Half the fighters were circling above them, maintaining air superiority.

The Chinese army suddenly launched an attack, using almost all the country's air force.

It seemed to be a precursor to a major counterattack.

In the dispatched army headquarters in Nanjing, General Hata Junliu looked sad.

He held his saber and watched a group of staff officers busy in front of the sand table.

This attack was too It was so sudden and completely unreasonable that the Japanese soldiers, who had always followed the rules, were completely confused as to what the Chinese wanted to do.

Although Jiangdong Province is not considered a first-class strategic location, the enemy's advance will definitely threaten Nanjing.

Wang Jingwei's government is already considering moving the capital to Shanghai.

The unstable military morale is a big problem.

After all, Shunroku Hata was a veteran.

On the one hand, he ordered the Japanese troops in Henan and Hubei to respond, and on the other hand, he asked the intelligence agencies to quickly find out the enemy's intentions.

The Japanese military's secret service agencies quickly took action, and the Nanjing puppet government's Bureau of Investigation and Statistics also joined in.

Since Wu Sibao's death, Li Shiqun's life has not been easy.

He felt that his importance was decreasing day by day, so he took advantage of this opportunity to regain his position.

Japanese people's trust in themselves.

Li Shiqun has his own unique intelligence channel.

He has always been in contact with the New Fourth Army.

All the intelligence in Chongqing was obtained from Pan Hannian.

Now that Chen Zikun's department in Jiangbei has changed, the Communist Party must know the inside story.

He found the newly declared female reporter Tang Yan and exchanged some pleasantries.

Finally, he expressed his intention to her tactfully.

"I will convey Mr.

Li's wishes and notify you as soon as there is any news."

Tang Yan readily agreed.

After leaving No. 76, Tang Yan found herself online and conveyed Li Shiqun's request.

The superior said: "Let's put this matter aside for now.

I have a more important task for you."

Tang Yan said: "Please organize instructions."

The leader said: "Looking for an appropriate opportunity to deal with Li Shiqun, it is best to kill with a borrowed knife without leaving any trace."

Tang Yan thought for a while and said: "Li Shiqun has made countless enemies, and Luo Junqiang is his mortal enemy.

I think we can start from this aspect."

After the meeting, Tang Yan found Yan Qingyu, who had returned from Japan, and asked him about Chongqing's strategic intentions.

Yan Qingyu said that I didn't know either, so I could only help you find out.

"Well then, I'll wait for your news."

Tang Yan stood up and wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute."

Yan Qingyu said.

"Is something wrong?"

"I brought you a gift."

Yan Qingyu took out a dozen glass stockings from the bag and pushed them over.

Although Tang Yan is already a MILF, she still pays attention to her image.

Materials are scarce in Shanghai, and glass stockings are luxury goods.

She cannot buy them, so she has to draw a line on her legs with a pen to pretend to be the seam of the stockings.

Now she suddenly has a dozen American Naturally, she was overjoyed to find the goods, but the underground worker showed no emotion at all.

She just smiled and said: "This thing is on the black market, and it takes 200,000 reserve votes to buy a pair.

Thank you."

Yan Qingyu said: "I've known you for so long, and this is the first time I see you smile.

In fact, you look pretty when you smile."

The sudden compliment made Tang Yan a little overwhelmed.

She subconsciously wanted to take out a small mirror to see her face, but she restrained herself in front of Yan Qingyu and took out a stack of banknotes from her bag: "I'll give it to you." money."

"I'm sorry.

Actually, I have something to ask you for help."

Yan Qingyu said.

"Oh, you say."

"Someone wants to mess with Li Shiqun, and I hope you can provide some information.

For example, he secretly colluded with the New Fourth Army to sell out information."

"I need to ask my superiors for instructions on this."

"It's okay, I'll wait for your reply."

After the meeting, the two went their separate ways.

Yan Qingyu returned to his apartment and sent a secret telegram to Chongqing about the mobilization of Japanese troops.

He copied another telegram and quickly reported it to King Yulong.

"Yu Sang, call back from Chongqing.

The Jiangbei Army's movement is just a tactical assault, not a precursor to a counterattack.

The Kuomintang Army's primary goal is still to open the Yunnan-Burma Passage."

King Yulong nodded solemnly: "Very good, I will report to General Hata Shun six immediately."

Yan Qingyu found an excuse to go out and told Tang Yan this information.

Tang Yan was not idle for a minute and quickly told Li Shiqun, but the content was exactly the opposite, saying that Chongqing was preparing to counterattack in advance, and Jiangdong was the first battlefield.

If Li Shiqun found the treasure, he immediately reported it to the Mei Agency.

Ying Zuozhenzhao reported to Commander Shunroku Hata.

Two contradictory intelligences were placed in front of him.

After careful consideration, Hata Shunroku decided to accept the report of the Imperial Agency.

The Chinese would never launch a major counterattack now. .

The Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army was still doing well in the encirclement, but external intelligence showed that the Japanese troops of the two divisions were outflanking them from two directions.

If they didn't move, it would be too late.

Chen Zikun was sitting firmly in the Chinese military tent.

He could know every move of the Japanese base camp through the imperial organs.

The two Japanese divisions were just feinting to force him to withdraw.

Just stop when you see fit.

The Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army finally began to break through.

The Japanese commander who had thought about it no longer issued a fatal order to annihilate this unit.

Instead, he made way for a way and chased behind with bluff for a while before giving up. .

After the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army left, a certain Japanese major general who was in charge of commanding the battle came to the hilltop where the enemy was stationed and found a large number of empty cans and Coke bottles, as well as bullet casings and artillery shells all over the mountains and plains.

He was stationed with a saber and burst into tears: " Even though the imperial army was defeated, it was still glorious.”

No one can resist this prodigal style of play.

Of course, this crossing to the south was not a sudden idea of ​​Chen Zikun.

He had long planned to open up a battlefield behind enemy lines in the south of the Yangtze River.

He just took this opportunity to put down roots south of the Huaijiang River and let Chen Qilin lead a force to be stationed here permanently.

On the way back, both Wu Changqing and Ye Xuefeng were silent, like eggplants beaten by frost.

They had a private discussion.

Wu Changqing said that if the Kuomintang army had this kind of equipment and this level of logistics, it would be difficult for our army to occupy it in the future.

Cheap.

Ye Xuefeng said: "We might as well think differently.

If we allocate US aid, will the Kuomintang's life last long?"

Wu Changqing said: "It makes sense.

If there is good means, there will be more help, but if there is no means, there will be less help.

After all, the Kuomintang troops like Chen Bu are in the minority.

Most of them are extremely corrupt and have low combat effectiveness.

Americans' money does not come from strong winds and they will not be given randomly."

With this thought, both of them felt relieved and waited for the good news from the Americans. .

However, after the Americans returned to Chongqing, nothing happened.

The international situation was turbulent.

How could cadres like Wu Chang Qingye Xuefeng know about it.

The Jiangbei Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army advanced into the south of the Yangtze River and never went back.

It took root in the south of the Yangtze River and greatly expanded the battlefield behind enemy lines.

The Japanese army was defeated in this battle and lost many troops.

Li Shiqun, the head of the intelligence department, was severely reprimanded by the Japanese and was very worried. , extremely depressed.

What makes him even more anxious is that his backer Qingqi Qingyin has been transferred back to China, and he has no one to protect him.

In early September, Li Shiqun was invited to a banquet at the home of Military Police Lieutenant Colonel Okamura in the Broadway Building.

All present were old acquaintances, including Luo Junqiang’s confidant Xu Tingge, and Yan Qingyu from the imperial agency.

Just forcing a smile together.

Mrs.

Okamura made some delicious beef patties.

Li Shiqun said he had a toothache and refused to use chopsticks.

Lieutenant Colonel Okamura picked up half of the meat patties and ate half of them, then gave it to Li Shiqun: "Li Sang, you must eat yours."

Seeing that Okacun had eaten, Li Shiqun was a little relieved and ate the remaining half of the cake.

Suddenly the orderly came to report that there was an important call and asked Lieutenant Colonel to answer it.

Okamura left the table immediately.

Li Shiqun felt something was wrong and was about to say goodbye when he was forced to watch the geisha performance.

After a while, Okamura came back and everyone continued to have a banquet.

During the chat, Okacun also expressed his intention to make peace with Li Shiqun and Xu Tingge, saying that it was better for enemies to break up than to marry, etc.

Li Shiqun pretended to be accommodating, and felt anxious and uneasy.

After finally waiting until the banquet was over, Li Shiqun immediately returned to No. 76 and asked the doctor to perform a gastric lavage on him.

But it's too late
