Chapter 264: Breakout Time: New Year's Eve(1/2)
ps: Sorry, I’m sorry, I have something to do at home, so I really can’t get the time to write. However, I have 4,500 words in one update today, which is 1,500 less than the usual two updates. There are also the ending paragraph in Nanjing that is not easy to write, and it takes brain cells to deal with!
Leng Feng handed over the matter of "replacement of prisoners" to Liang Dong to deal with it with full authority. His focus was on the "rescue" plan, the formulation of plans, and the use of troops, all these were issues he had to consider.
Tang Jing and Wu Xiaoyun extended his time to go to the ground to move, five hours a day, and every one and a half hours, he had to lie down and rest for half an hour.
This is naturally not enough, but there is no way, so many things can only be done by Cheng Gang and the others.
Since the "Yasha" moved to Qinglong Mountain, the focus of the work of the Japanese military intelligence department has also become the focus of monitoring of Qinglong Mountain, especially the communication radio waves, which has relaxed the city.
The main thing in Eagle Nest is to receive telegrams, which reduces the frequency of booting up and naturally reduces the chance of not being discovered by the Japanese army.
The same is true for radio stations in safe areas. Unless there is an emergency, they will generally not report to the outside world easily. They mainly receive them. If there is anything that needs to be transmitted to the outside world, they will be transmitted out of the city through Laoyu's transportation line and sent out by radio stations in Qinglongshan.
The telecommunications department in Qinglongshan is not enough staff. If it weren't for the assistance of the Military Control Commission Nanjing Station, it would be too busy.
The negative impact of the expansion of the troops is getting bigger and bigger, especially since talents cannot keep up, communication talents cannot be cultivated overnight.
Even if you use the method of helping to transfer, it will take several months for a skilled translator to officially start work.
The urgency of talents also makes Leng Feng feel a headache. However, once the "capital replacement" is successful, there are many talents he values. In this way, the talent crisis may be alleviated in a certain short term.
"Teacher, Liang Dong called, the commander of the Central Chinese Front Army of Japan, Matsui Ishione, has signed a prisoner replacement agreement."
"Well, I've expected the things that the Japanese army took on themselves. At this time, it's too late for them to repent." Leng Feng smiled coldly.
Since you want to put me on the fire, don’t think about being cheap and being good at it.
"Boss, you are so wise. You put that list in the middle of our list of prisoners. The Japanese didn't pay attention and suffered a big loss." Guo Weiquan exclaimed.
"So what if it's happening, I still have a way to make them agree to exchange with us." Leng Feng smiled, "Fortunately, it didn't take much time."
"The Military Control Commission Shanghai Station should send someone to deliver the radio station and the list of supplies we need to buy today."
"Yes." Leng Feng nodded.
"What I'm worried about is that the Japanese will ask Xie Tuanzhao and others to put their supplies on the car?" Cheng Gang said worriedly.
"This is also what I worry about, but as long as I get on the train and shipped to Nanjing, regardless of whether the Japanese are present or not, the result will be the same." Leng Feng said.
"Yes, as long as the things come to Nanjing, it's easy to handle."
"If you inform me, we will move out of the Eagle's Nest tomorrow and everyone will enter the safe zone in batches." Leng Feng ordered that the "rescue" plan is about to reach the critical stage of implementation. It is no longer necessary to stay in the Eagle's Nest, and he can't command remotely.??
“It’s already making equipment!
On January 29, 1938, the 28th day of the 1st lunar month, at 5:00 pm, after a simple dinner, under the escort of the British army, Xie Jiyuan led a total of 358 people from the first battalion of the 524th Regiment under his jurisdiction, leaving the lonely military camp on Jiaozhou Road, and took a car toward Zhabei Railway Station.
The army had been waiting here for a long time, adding water and coal, ensuring that the route was directly to Nanjing. It was not stopped halfway.
"Why are there so many things?" The Japanese Grandmaster in charge of escorting frowned slightly when he saw that the 524th Regiment was carrying so many supplies.
"These are all supplies donated to our department by the people."
"We need to check the supplies!"
"No, you are not qualified to do this!" Shangguan Zhibiao stepped forward and stopped the Japanese Grandmaster.
"Baga!" The Japanese Grandmaster was furious and was about to move forward and push away Shangguan Zhibiao.
"Mr. Major. These are indeed supplies donated by the Shanghai people to this group of people. We have already done an inspection before packing them on the bus." A British major escorted by him stepped forward and explained.
The Japanese major then let go of Shangguan Zhibiao's arm.
However, the Japanese major did not let the materials be transported onto the car, but sent someone to call and ask for instructions. After receiving the order, he agreed to ship the materials.
In order to carry the supplies purchased by the "Yasha", Xie Jiyuan and his team only brought dry food for one day, and all the food was left behind. All the supplies were carried, as well as special mechanical equipment enclosed in boxes.
Xie Jiyuan was not sure how much money was used here.
All the money is paid by the 'Yasha'.
After all the supplies were brought onto the train, the personnel began to wait for the train. The Japanese army also checked the weapons one by one to carry ammunition.
When I was an hour, everyone in the lonely camp boarded the train, and some of the prisoners who were also on the "captive replacement" list were opened. These were all captured in the Battle of Shanghai, most of whom were wounded, and more than 200 people boarded the train together.
Suddenly they met in the car, and everyone was so excited that they burst into tears.
Most of the ones who were replaced were officers and veterans. The recruits temporarily recruited were probably not even complete, so they could only choose the important ones to change.
The Japanese army arranged an elite infantry squadron to accompany and escort.
At 7:30, the special train transporting "Power of War" officially left. If the Japanese had not allowed the people to enter the railway station to see them off, I am afraid that the people who received the news would have crowded Zhabei Railway Station.
The Shanghai press has extensively reported on this "capital replacement" incident. Newspapers and other newspapers have also opened special columns and invited some celebrities to write commentary articles.
Of course, there are mixed opinions. Some people think that this is a breakthrough behavior, and there are examples to follow later. Some people think that "Yasha" is just a sensational and popular person, losing the dignity of soldiers and national integrity. Some are even more extreme, thinking that being captured is a shame. Such people are not worthy of survival and should die for their country, etc.
On this day, the Eagle Nest was officially closed, and Leng Feng led all the remaining personnel of Yasha to enter the Nanjing International Security Zone.??
After settling down, Leng Feng held the last military meeting before the "breakout".
In addition to the leaders of the detachments that saved the national division, this time Cheng Gang and Guo Weiquan from Yasha Camp were also added.
The meeting was still in that conference room, and the entire management building had been taken over by Yasha Camp and was on high alert.
"Everyone. On January 26, the 3rd Japanese Division dispatched from Chuxian and Quanjiao area, and successively captured Mingguang, Chihe, and Outang reached the east bank of Chihe.
On the 27th, the Japanese army used aircraft and cannons as cover and forced their way across Chihe River through the snow. On the 28th, yesterday, Mingguang and Chihe River fell, and our defenders' positions were in danger."
"This is the latest battle report from the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone. What do you think after hearing this?" Leng Feng asked with a look around everyone.
"What the Cold Ginseng Seat means is that the Japanese want to attack our army from north to south and eliminate the main force of our fifth war zone in Xuzhou?"
"The strategic attempt of the Japanese army was to attack the north and the south together. Open up the Jinpu Road, the Jinpu Road, and then follow Longhai Road and Pinghan Road to attack the hinterland of our Central Plains to achieve the goal of destroying our country."
"Yes, if this strategic attempt by the Japanese army is achieved, half of our country will fall into the hands of the Japanese, and it will be the richest and most prosperous area."
Liao Sen inadvertently glanced at Leng Feng, and a deep shock flashed in his eyes.
"So, the commander-in-chief decided to fight another battle with the Japanese in Xuzhou area, with two purposes. First, disrupt the strategic deployment of the Japanese army, and second, delay the Japanese army's attack and win time for the rear to prepare for war."
Leng Feng continued: "According to my judgment, the time of the Xuzhou Battle is not far away. Since we have decided to go north, we will definitely not be able to escape the Xuzhou Battle."
"However, the Japanese army attacked and came to us. It was good news. If the Japanese army headed north, then the rear would be empty. After we crossed the river, it would be easier to gain a foothold in Jiangbei. Moreover, when the Japanese army fought against our army, they would inevitably involve their troops. At that time, they would lose sight of each other, and the strategy of attacking the north and the south would be temporarily suspended or failed!"
"Chief Leng chose this opportunity. When the Japanese army in Jiangbei launched a large-scale attack, we suddenly crossed the river and headed north, and we would definitely disrupt the Japanese army's deployment in one fell swoop. This is a good opportunity to make achievements!" Qiu Qingquan's eyes lit up.
This is really a good time, place, and people. As long as you can cross the Yangtze River, it is equivalent to stabbing a knife in the back of the Japanese army in Jiangbei, which is of great help to the Fifth War Zone.
"Chief Staff Leng, did you think of it long ago when you proposed to go north?" Liao Sen asked.
"I just saw from some signs of the Japanese army that they had the intention of a strategic joint attack between the north and the south, but I didn't know when they would move, and the Japanese were not under my command." Leng Feng smiled and said, as a person who experienced it, of course he knew the movements of the Japanese army. Although it was not completely correct, he could also guess an eight or nine-point relationship.
"So we can't wait anymore. Master, let's announce the time of action."
"Yes!" Qiu Qingquan nodded, "Now, I order!"
Everyone stood up and stood attentively with serious faces.
"I announced that the action time will be set at 7 pm tomorrow, which is the traditional festival of our Chinese people, on New Year's Eve!" Qiu Qingquan announced loudly.
"Please issue the specific combat orders by Chief Leng!"
"yes!"
"Cheng Gang!"
"arrive!"
"Before you lead the Yasha Camp to leave the city from the secret passage and disguise yourself as a Japanese army. Once the city starts, you will quickly occupy the dock, the Japanese and Japanese Naval Command and other strategic points. The most important thing is that no ship on the dock is allowed to leave!" Leng Feng ordered.
"clear!"
"Wu Xiaoyun!"
Wu Xiaoyun stood up and looked at Leng Feng with a cold look. There was less tenderness in his eyes, but more murderous intent.
"After night, you lead the Yaksha Special Operations Team to replace the Japanese troops patrolling around the security zone with ours in the order previously planned, and patrol as usual."
Wu Xiaoyun nodded solemnly.
"Deputy Chief of Staff Liao, how many battalions are there in your first detachment?"
"Three battalions!"
"You leave me a battalion, and you take away the rest. Attack Yijiang Gate, don't care how to hit me, but you must take it within an hour. Can you do it?" Leng Feng asked.
"Chief Staff Leng, I'll leave the first battalion for you." Liao Sen thought for a moment and gritted his teeth.
"First Battalion, is that the main battalion with the strongest combat power under your command?" Leng Feng was a little surprised. In the battle of tough battles, there were troops that could fight tough battles. Liao Sen actually left the first battalion for himself.
"That's right, it's the best battalion. But since Chief Leng wants to use it, he will definitely need the best troops to fight, so I'll leave the first battalion for you!"
"Okay. I'll stay in the first battalion. In this way, you can take away all the heavy machine guns of the first battalion. In addition, I'm adding two mortars to you. How about thirty shells?" Leng Feng said.
"Okay!" Liao Sen stretched out his slightly frown eyebrows when he heard this.
"Chief of Staff Leng, can you ask, what are you planning to do if you leave the first battalion?" There is no such item in the plan formulated. Obviously, this was a temporary intention of Leng Feng, and it was added.
Although one detachment had enough troops to capture Yijiangmen, the strength of the less than one battalion was always reduced.
"Du Hotel!" Leng Feng's eyes flashed with a sharp light and he said heavily.
"If you want to attack the Japanese Shanghai Expeditionary Force headquarters, there is no elite Japanese army stationed in a squadron!" Liao Sen exclaimed. When the others heard this, they also sniffed the air conditioner one by one.
