Chapter 40: The Sharp Knife Is Out of Sheath
Since the "Bai Jianwu Incident", Japan has expanded its troops in North China. In mid-May last year, Japan appointed Hebian Zhengsan as the commander of the infantry brigade of the Tianjin Garage Army and established a brigade headquarters in Peiping. The new Japanese army first settled in Tongxian County and then began to transfer to Fengtai. Since then, the Japanese army has even established a military command in Fengtai.
After the Japanese invaders entered Fengtai, in order to step up preparations for the invasion of China, the barracks were continuously expanded to prepare for the war to prepare for the outbreak of war, and the barracks could be used to store grain, weapons, quilts and other logistics supplies. The local people called it the "East Warehouse".
The "East Warehouse" covers an area of about 100 acres, and has been continuously expanded, including villages such as North Kongzhuangzi, South Kongzhuangzi (part), Houniwa, Qilizhuang (part).
The Japanese military base in Fengtai was surrounded by caltrops and had walls. Later, earth enclosures were built. It can be said that Fengtai was a cutting-edge arms reserve base prepared by Japan for invasion of China.
Wu Siren knew the direction of history, so he would naturally not let go of this stronghold of the Japanese. After Chi Tiecheng led a team to return from Shencheng, Wu Siren immediately organized Fang Zishan, Hu Boyu, Sun Liren, Chen Ziliang, Qiu Yu'an, Su Wenqian and Chi Tiecheng to hold a meeting to discuss the raid on Fengtai.
"Chief Staff Chen, after I led the team to leave, the troops trained as usual. If someone inquire, I will say I went to Lushan for a meeting."
"Yes! The humble official must protect the camp well, and there will never be any mistakes."
Chen Ziliang did not ask Wu Siren how to go in person, because the entire tax police regiment and even the entire China could no longer find a military expert who knew more about special operations than Wu Siren.
"Captain Sun, this time your Fourth Regiment will set out with the Special Forces Brigade. Remember that all personnel must change their clothes before departure and all of them will be replaced with the military uniforms of the Northeast Army." Wu Siren ordered.
Sun Liren said excitedly: "Yes!"
"Commander, why do our chariot brigade stay?" Qiu Yu'an said dissatisfied.
Among all the generals of the Tax Police Corps, Qiu Yu'an has the most hot temper and speaks straightforwardly, saying whatever she wants.
"Your chariot brigade now has hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at you. Do you want the Japanese devils to attack us too early? I understand what you mean. Thousand-mile raids are most suitable for chariot brigades to be dispatched, but the problem now is that I don't want the strength of the Tax Police Corps to be exposed too early." Wu Siren said angrily.
"Commander, just lead the Fourth Regiment and the Special Operations Brigade. Is the combat power sufficient?" Hu Boyu said worriedly.
Wu Siren laughed contemptuously and said, "It's not that I look down on the Japanese. Since they occupied the three northeastern provinces with no effort, they have become increasingly arrogant from top to bottom. They don't take us Chinese soldiers seriously at all. They are determined by being unintentional. We will win this sneak attack on Fengtai."
Because he had specially consulted various analyses on the deployment of the Chinese and Japanese troops before and after the July 7 Incident in his previous life, Wu Siren naturally knew how important the small town Fengtai was to the Japanese North China garrison troops, so he had already asked Su Wenqian to visit Fengtai to view and draw relevant maps in order to eliminate this arms reserve point in advance.
In the early morning of June 1, 1937, Wu Siren led the special forces to the outskirts of Fengtai first. At this time, the Fourth Regiment, which was hiding in the day and leaving at night, was still one day away.
"Commander, do we need to wait for Captain Sun to come before taking action?"
Chi Tiecheng quietly walked to Wu Siren and asked in a low voice.
"No, there are only a thousand Japanese soldiers guarding the entire garrison. Our special forces team has more than 400 people to deal with it. Let all the personnel rest in a hidden way, and we will act at midnight."
This time, Wu Siren brought over more than 200 newcomers to the special forces team that had just been trained by the Tax Police Corps. They all said that practiced to achieve true knowledge and that only by going to the scene in person can we grow up quickly. After all, the war has not left much time for Wu Siren and his Tax Police Corps.
In fact, the Fourth Regiment, who brought Sun Liren, came this time. First, the Fourth Regiment had the strongest overall strength, and Wu Saren needed to prevent accidents; second, someone needed to respond after winning Fengtai. The Fourth Regiment led by Sun Liren was disciplined and had the most veterans, which was most suitable.
Late at night, there are stars, no wind or moon, and the whole world is silent.
Su Wenqian and Chi Tiecheng personally led more than ten old team members to sneak to the foot of the city wall. The special forces team members in charge of observation made a few nightingale cry. Su Wenqian and others quickly took out their hook ropes and threw them towards the top of the city wall, and climbed up the city wall with their hook locks.
About four or five minutes later, the nightingale's chirping sounded again. It turned out that Su Wenqian, Chi Tiecheng and others had quietly eliminated the guards on the city.
Wu Siren waved his hand, and all the special forces members rushed towards the city wall and climbed into Fengtai City with more than ten hooks before.
When he entered the city, Wu Siren spoke sign language continuously, and more than 400 people were divided into twenty teams, spreading rapidly.
Wu Siren personally led more than ten people to find and occupy the communications department. Not long after, gunfire and explosions sounded in Fengtai City, and then they became silent.
Half an hour later, the phone rang, and Zheng San from Hebian called to ask himself what was going on in Fengtai.
Wu Siren, who was guarding the phone, explained: "Your Excellency the Brigade Commander, it is the scattered soldiers of the 29th China Army who came to provoke. We have been defeated by us. Please rest assured."
"So that's it. You have done a good job. Some brave and brave Chinese people are not worth worrying about. The empire will start a holy war soon. You should be more careful now." Kawabian Zhengsan said seriously on the other end of the phone.
"Hi! I must follow my teachings."
After putting down the phone, Wu Siren ordered all the special forces members to take the time to change into the Japanese military uniforms and distribute ordinary personnel to guard the entrance and exit of the city gate, only allowed to enter and not exit. At the same time, bomb fuses were arranged in the arsenal because he was not sure whether he could fool Zheng San from the river.
At around 9 a.m. the next morning, Sun Liren led the Fourth Regiment to Fengtai. It was not until this moment that Wu Siren felt most of his mood.
Wu Shiren first asked Sun Liren to lead troops to control all the Japanese overseas Chinese and traitors in Fengtai City, and then began to recruit various vehicles to carry weapons.
Although I was prepared before coming, when I opened the warehouse to check, everyone, including Wu Sairen, was shocked. No one expected that so many arms would accumulate in Fengtai City.
"Commander, we are rich. In this warehouse alone, there are 4 240mm heavy howitzers, 4 270mm super heavy mortars, 4 150mm field cannons, 12 105mm field cannons, 20 150mm howitzers, and 40 105mm field cannons. Our Tax Police Corps is now rich overnight!"
After Chu Lue's inventory, Fengtai warehouse not only stored a large number of artillery, but also stored a large amount of ammunition. Taking the 240mm heavy howitzer as an example, each cannon is equipped with a total of 600 shells, and the total number of various shells stored in Fengtai reached a terrifying nearly 300,000 rounds. In addition, there are 24 tanks of large and small, more than 400 cars of various types, and more than 25,000 barrels of fuel. There is no time to count various types of guns, and Chu Lue estimates that there are more than 30,000.
"Hurry up, we must leave Fengtai before 1:00 this afternoon."
Wu Siren looked serious and was also very grateful that in another month, the number of Japanese troops in Fengtai would increase to more than 3,000. At that time, it was impossible to capture Fengtai with the more than 400 special forces led by him. The ideal result was nothing more than blowing up these arms.
Sun Liren was so happy that he had long wanted to form a tank commando in the Fourth Regiment. Unfortunately, all the tanks of the Tax Police Corps were assigned to Qiu Yu'an's tank brigade by Wu Siren. Although these 24 large and small tanks were just "thin skin and big stuffing" Type 89 medium tanks and Type 95 light tanks, Sun Liren was already very satisfied. This time he would never let these tanks slip away from his hands.
Looking at Sun Liren who was stroking the tank with a smile on his face, Wu Siren naturally knew what he was thinking.
"Let your brothers get faster and transport the weapons out of the city quickly. Once the Japanese find out, they will send planes to blow them up and there will be nothing left. This time we have pierced a big hole in the sky!"
