Chapter 21 Action (1)
"Here? What is the location here?" Looking at the location of Yang Zhen's finger, Guo Bingxun said in confusion. Although the sketch drawn by Yang Zhen was very clear, it did not have the exact name of each position.
"This is the arsenal of guarding the Japanese in this prison. All the weapons of the Japanese in this building are stored here. There should be what we need here. As long as we have a gun in our hands, even if we can't rush out, we can at least kill the Japanese in this building."
"Old Guo, Lao Peng, have you ever seen what kind of people are those Japanese civilian officials who are watching us in the corridor when we are venting the wind these days?" When Yang Zhen said this, he looked up at Guo Bingxun and Peng Dingjie who were surrounded by him and said.
After hearing Yang Zhen’s question, Guo Bingxun pondered for a moment: “I think these older Japanese men are wearing military uniforms, but they are not soldiers in terms of temperament. Their temperament seems out of place with the Japanese guards around them, and they have a scholarly aura. They should be experts.”
Yang Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, they are all bacterial experts in the Japanese. You think, since the Japanese want to study bacterial weapons here, how can they do it without experts? The Japanese are not so idiots that they think that those rude guards can develop large-scale bacterial weapons."
"There are quite a lot of these Japanese devils. I think those who can come here should be elites in this industry. You said that if you have the opportunity to kill them, how much damage will it bring to the Japanese project? It is not difficult to rebuild a base, but it takes several years or even dozens of years to cultivate these experts. Killing these so-called experts is the most fatal blow to the Japanese devils."
Regarding Yang Zhen's words, Peng Dingjie was limited to the limitation of his cultural level, although it was a little unclear. However, in his mind, as long as he could kill the Japanese, it would be no different. However, Guo Bingxun nodded and said, "You are right. The foundation can be rebuilt, but talents cannot be cultivated in a short time. The so-called killing a snake and hitting seven inches is the reason. Yes, just do it, Lao Yang talks about your detailed plan."
Guo Bingxun's urging, Yang Zhen did not answer him immediately. Instead, he closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and said, "My plan is to kill him first when this Japanese devil comes tomorrow night. Then change into his military uniform and put in the two guard boxes in the corridor before killing them."
"Old Guo, do you remember that I once mentioned to you about twenty veterans with good psychological qualities? I want these twenty veterans to take them to kill all the guards in this building and then touch them here."
"Although this Japanese Nakasa has never clearly stated who he is, judging from his conversations these days and the attitude of Ishii Kaoto towards him that day, the real identity of this Japanese man should be the royal family of Japan. I think since he has this identity, his face should be our best pass."
"Old Guo, my plan is to go in two steps. After killing this floor, I will take those people with you, mainly your skilled guard and the platoon leader of our 115th Division, to use this Japanese identity to clear out the Japanese guards layer by layer."
"First upstairs and downstairs. After all the guards upstairs are cleaned up, we will take the dozen people downstairs, put on the clothes of the Japanese guards, and clean up the guards downstairs. What you have to do is not to let go of everyone at the same time, and must stabilize everyone's emotions. Otherwise, so many people will act at the same time, and the movement will be too great. Once the regular guards of the Japanese are alarmed, all our efforts will fail."
"You must first select a few veterans to follow us, and immediately arm us after we take down the arsenal. Take this sketch and occupy all the four-sided buildings. Remember not to shoot when you are forced. If you encounter Japanese during the operation, use bayonets to solve them all. Remember not to leave a living mouth. When you act, you must also change into the Japanese guard's clothing. If you can delay or not be exposed, try to delay."
"The more you are doing, the better. After you solve all the Japanese, let everyone out. Lao Guo, there is one thing you need to remember. Our building is only part of the Japanese Special Prison, and there is a prison on the other side of us. There should be some of us there."
"This is my initial plan. Whether it can be completed smoothly depends on God's will. To be honest, I am sure to take down these guards on the floor and have the identity of the Japanese as a cover. However, I am not very sure of solving the guards downstairs. Especially when I don't disturb the Japanese brigade, I really don't have much confidence."
After hearing Yang Zhen’s initial plan, Guo Bingxun pondered for a long time and said, “How do you solve the problem with that Japanese devil? Can you solve the problem without disturbing the two guards outside him?”
"This is not a big problem. We have acted well these days. When this Japanese faces us, they are not very prepared. I think it is not a big problem to solve him. As long as he is solved, his two guards outside will be easy to deal with."
"Tomorrow is the last time this Japanese man has come, so no matter what, we can only set our actions tomorrow. Every time he comes, he has a habit. When he steps into this cell, he has to look at the watch. Once I glanced at it and it was about ten o'clock. This time is good, and ordinary people have rested at this time."
"My plan is when he is about to leave. Because at this time, he and his guards will be a little relaxed. It should be the most appropriate to do it at this time. And I estimated that every time he came, he stayed for about an hour. By the time he left, it was almost midnight. At this time, most of the Japanese should have rested, and this is the best time for us to get rid of them."
Speaking of this, Yang Zhen paused and said, "Old Guo, remember that there is a Japanese guardhouse on the north side of this Sifang Building. According to my experience, searchlights must be installed on it, and there may even be heavy machine guns. If we are exposed, you must turn off the searchlights in the shortest time."
While Yang Zhen was telling his plan, Guo Bingxun was listening quietly and pondering. Apart from that question, he did not make any sound. Until Yang Zhen finished speaking, he said: "Old Yang, what should we do next after we capture Sifang Tower? Do you have any plans?"
Regarding Guo Bingxun's question, Yang Zhen shook his head and said, "I don't know, we can only take one step at a time. But no matter what, even if we all die here, there is one person who must be eliminated."
After saying that, Yang Zhen pointed to a two-story building outside the Sifang Building on the sketch and said, "This is Shiro Ishii's office. According to the small amount of information revealed by the Japanese, Shiro Ishii originally returned to his home in Harbin every night, but he didn't know why he hadn't returned in the past two days. It may be related to a batch of newly developed poison gases that the Japanese just transported."
"These poison gases were just developed by the Japanese, and are said to be much more toxic than the same poison gases as Europe and the United States. The reason why they transported a large number of prisoners of war from the pass to come here was to conduct the final practical experiment."
"The Japanese have many troops stationed in Harbin. If we don't kill this demon king while he is here, we may not have any chance in the future unless we have the ability to take Harbin. But Lao Guo, you know, even if we can all rush out, this is impossible at least in a short period of time."
Guo Bingxun didn't think of the follow-up plan at all, and seemed not surprised. Everyone knew that only God knew that this preliminary plan could reach that point. No one dared to think about the future.
After a long silence, Guo Bingxun said: "Old Yang, I think your preliminary plan will work. As long as you can kill these three Japanese without disturbing the Japanese guards, I think the subsequent actions will not be difficult."
"But I am somewhat worried about our control over these prisoners of war. The Chinese like to fight intra-fighting too much and have factions. Although the captured brothers of the Sichuan Army can obey my orders, I can guarantee this. But I am not sure that prisoners of war from other factions can obey my orders. In their eyes, I, as the chief, cannot control them. On weekdays, because I am being held separately and closely monitored by the Japanese, I have no chance of contact or communication."
"Especially those prisoners of war from the Gui army, we couldn't even understand what they said. The Guangxi people are so powerful that they have their own sets in the prison camp. I am not sure whether they can obey my command. This is probably the biggest uncertainty factor in your plan."
Regarding Guo Bingxun's concerns, Yang Zhen said without thinking: "You try to persuade them first, and if they don't work, get rid of them. I still know the combat effectiveness of the Gui army. Our Central Red Army did not suffer less losses during the Long March."
"I also believe that they cannot be traitors. But no matter who it is, as long as there is a little harm, no matter what his intentions are, as long as he does not obey your orders, we must not stay. What we want to do is all prisoners of war, not just a few of them, and we must not let a few tablets of rat shit break a pot of soup."
"Old Guo, we are in this wolf den, surrounded by Japanese devils, so we must be careful every step we take. Once someone disobeys the order in action, the harm brought is fatal to us. I think you can tell which is more important than the safety of hundreds of people." Yang Zhen said these words with a decisive and without any hesitation.
After hearing Yang Zhen's words, Guo Bingxun hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and said, "Well, just do what you said. If they refuse to obey the command, they can only get rid of them first for everyone's safety."
Guo Bingxun didn't understand the truth that Yang Zhen said. But for him, no matter whether these people listened to him or not, they were all Chinese. Although they belonged to different factions on weekdays and even had warned each other, they all belonged to the same national army.
Since the Battle of Xuzhou, they have been together. But those people did not obey his orders and became one. If they really took action to get rid of these people, Guo Bingxun would be somewhat unable to do so.
After all, these people are just unsociable and are not traitors. But Guo Bingxun also knows that for everyone, for the lives of these hundreds of people, and for the devilish Japanese troops, even if he is reluctant, he has to take action. Otherwise, if these people really do not obey the orders during the operation, they will pose a fatal threat to the plan.
Seeing Guo Bingxun's face a little unbearable, Yang Zhen patted his shoulder and said, "Old Guo, I know you can't bear it. In fact, to be honest, I can't bear it either. I think these brothers are definitely good at fighting the Japanese on the battlefield. Although they have been captured now, they will never be cowards."
"But the situation is different now. Our operation is related to the life and death of more brothers. We must not ruin our plan because of the disobedience of a few people. We have soldiers as generals, which has always been a taboo at any time. But now China is in this form, and the army of a country is divided into factions of all sizes."
"In addition to the disputes within the Central Army, but still united, other local troops are actually guarding against each other in secret. They are not only guarding against the Central Army, but also suspicion of each other."
"The attitude of the officers will naturally affect the following. The reason why these brothers of the Gui army gather together is that in addition to the different nature of the Chinese people who love to join in groups is that their original attitude of the superiors cannot help but affect them."
"But maybe we are overly concerned. These brothers will not do anything to disobey orders. After all, they are soldiers and should understand the principle that absolute obedience is required on the battlefield. As long as you explain the environment we are in clearly, I think they should be able to understand."
"I hope they will do what you said. If they really don't obey the orders, I can only do what I am most reluctant to do for everyone." Yang Zhen's consolation played a little bit, and Guo Bingxun's expression improved after hearing his words.
Looking at Guo Bingxun whose expression calmed down, Yang Zhen nodded and said, "Okay, if you and Lao Peng have no objections, your plan will be decided like this. Tomorrow is the time for us to take action. I hope we can be lucky to be on our side this time."
