Chapter 1452 Assassination!(1/2)
It's June in a blink of an eye!
The sun was scorching, but the Japanese army was ready to move. The 40th Japanese Division located on the north bank of the Han River had already prepared its military service.
The Four Corps, which had been resting for nearly two months, received an order to enter the war zone and work with the 67th Army to block it.
During May, Tang Dao had met Wu Juncheng in his military headquarters in Baokang County, and was riding a second-generation assault jeep named "Dongfeng" by Tang Dao.
The convoy of 8 jeeps and a cavalry company was in a mighty cavalry team, and everyone could not help but tremble at the 8 high guns of 12.7 mm heavy machine guns.
"Your baby is really too high-profile. Let the other army and division commanders see it. On the surface, they don't say anything. They may say behind their backs that your baby is relying on the thighs of the Rockefeller family to buy the latest equipment, not only to prepare for Japan, but also to fight against the top. Originally, that person was extremely dissatisfied with you, but now the war is slowing down and the external pressure is slightly reduced, so it is inevitable that he will do something to maintain his authority.
And Commander Li, although you sent 5 jeeps over, your convoy was larger than him when you traveled, and there were also fully armed cavalry companies escorting him, and his majesty was overwhelming." Commander Wu should have heard some news and advised Tang Dao to keep a low profile.
This is understandable from his perspective. Now it is a national war. In order to restore the country, the second-ranked figure of the Northeast Army is even willing to temporarily endure the anger of the soul of the Northeast Army being imprisoned by that person. He fights under his command. Naturally, he does not want to see Tang Dao openly sing against the person.
But he didn't know that it was done on purpose, including a telegram sent to the owner of the Four Corps of the War Zone Command in early May that the school officials refused to participate in the education class.
That was Tang Dao indirectly expressing his attitude, his attitude towards the Jiangnan incident that broke out a month and a half ago.
A 80th Army Group's Infantry Army's headquarters in Jiangnan and a detachment responsible for protection were ambushed by 80,000 troops from that direct unit, causing thousands of deaths.
It was obviously a premeditated act. Tang Dao actually issued a warning to the headquarters of the 80th Army through Brigade Commander Cheng more than half a year ago.
However, the Eighty Army misjudged the ruthlessness of that person, and did not expect that person could endure it for so long, and waited until the Battle of Shipai was completely over before launching this despicable attack.
As soon as the news came out, the whole country was in an uproar!
The Eighty Army expressed its extremely strong anger and organized two consecutive counterattacks against Japan on the battlefield in North China, annihilated nearly 20,000 Japanese troops, and showed his muscles to the extremely tough one.
If it weren't for the national war plan, the angry 80th Army could even draw more than 200,000 troops from the battlefield in North China and guide Shaanxi Province.
If those thousands of elite soldiers were not killed by their own people, even if they were replaced, they would be able to kill thousands of Japanese soldiers. Whenever they think of these, Tang Dao, who was unable to change history, was quite depressed.
Since you are not feeling well, why make the initiator feel good?
Of course, Commander Wu was right. Tang Dao's "showing off his power" made his colleagues in the Fifth War Zone feel quite uneasy.
Tang Dao left behind 5 "Dongfeng" jeeps for Commander Wu as gifts, so he drove three of them back.
On June 8, after receiving a secret message from the Operations Department of the General Staff of the War Zone Command, Tang Dao asked Tang Dao to go to the War Zone Command located in Xianrendu, Tang Dao, who was also in charge of the Division Chief of the War Zone Operations Department, rode a horse with a guard squad.
On June 9, after arriving at the theater command, the Lieutenant General Chief of Staff personally presided over the combat meeting. The Chief of Staff of the 67th Army and one division commander under his jurisdiction, one division-level chief of staff, two brigade commanders, and a lieutenant general division commander of the 70th Army under the jurisdiction of the 32nd Army, and two major general brigade commanders.
The level and scale of the meeting are not too big for a theater-level general, but those who can attend this meeting are all the ranks of major general or above. Tang Dao, the army colonel, was obviously not because of his position as regiment commander, but because of the title of chief of the combat department that the general surnamed Li specially gave him.
Originally, the general surnamed Li wanted to let the two divisions of the 67th Army and the Four Army regiments of a total of about 28,000 people fight against the 40th Division of the Japanese that was about to move, but the general commander of the 32nd Army, which belongs to the Central Army, insisted on kicking.
In fact, the Fifth War Zone has been decreasing since 1939. It is basically composed of the army controlled by the Guangxi Army, the Sichuan Army Group, the Northwest Army, etc. It was just a battle of Zaoyi in the middle of last year. The Fifth War Zone independently fought against the 11th Japanese Army suffered huge losses. The 32nd Army, which belongs to the Central Army, was transferred from other theaters to the Fifth War Zone, which was nominally strengthened the strength of the Fifth War Zone, but the real reason was that it was self-evident.
Moreover, the second-level general of the 32nd Army also served as deputy commander of the Fifth War Zone, which was obviously used to pinch the general surnamed Li.
Fortunately, the main forces such as the 33rd Army under General Zhang in the Fifth War Zone, the 11th Army of the Guangxi clique, the 22nd Army of the Sichuan clique, the 29th Army of the Northeast Army of the Northeast Army of all fought under the command of the general Li for a long time. They both support the General Li both publicly and privately. This Guangxi clique can also firmly grasp the military power.
However, the main 70th Army under the 32nd Army, such as this, took the initiative to ask for battle, so the general surnamed Li could not let down his deputy's kindness, so he also asked the 70th Army stationed in Zijin Mountain, Gucheng to dispatch its main 19th Division to participate in this battle.
The combat meeting lasted for two days, deployed the enemy-blocking areas that were about to participate in the war, and determined the communication codes between the departments.
There were naturally some disputes during this period, such as who was the main and who was the auxiliary, who was on the front battlefield, who was guarding the flanks, and material supplies, etc. This was normal.
This time, Tang Dao focused on listening to advice and did not speak much at the combat meeting. Instead, I was a revolutionary brick, and where I needed to move it.
The 40th Division of the Japanese Army was just a second-line division. Although its troops exceeded 20,000, this time the theater used two B Divisions, one Class A Division and one Special Forces regiment, with a total force of more than 40,000, which was another attack and blocking. The difficulty was the lowest since Tang Dao participated in the war.
Tang Dao knew that there was no need for the Four Lines to compete for the top score in this kind of small battlefield that was not painful. Since the Central Army wanted it, give it to them. He could just help him. If he really met a Japanese who was not open and gathered the main force to attack him, the flank defender, it would be considered that they were unlucky.
Sure enough, Tang Dao's inaction made the three generals of the 70th Army please look at Tang Dao much more.
Everything is normal!
However, when Tang Dao returned from the headquarters on June 11, after crossing the Han River, he passed through a hilly area where Cihe Town was located, he was attacked.
This was obviously a carefully planned ambush.
There were about 200 attackers, not only with extremely accurate shooting skills, but also with 6 heavy machine guns and 10 light machine guns, and even submachine guns such as MP28.
The terrible distance, medium and short-range firepower combination is extremely excellent, which makes the Tang Tuan, who is caught off guard and can only defend on the spot, and the accompanying elite guard squad are completely at a disadvantage in firepower.
Furthermore, the attackers were extremely fierce. They seemed to know that Tang Dao carried a field radio with him and could call for support. After completing the siege of 17 Chinese soldiers, they used long-range firepower to output and long-range precision sniper to suppress the Chinese soldiers in the encirclement, covering more than 150 attackers to attack.
Its melee weapons and equipment are no worse than the guard squad. Its MP28 submachine gun alone has nearly 40 shots. In addition, there is also the Garland rifle commonly known as the Big Eight-Grain US. It was a semi-automatic rifle imported from the United States by the Chinese army just a few years ago. There are less than one division qualified to equip such rifles, and even the ace troops such as 71 and 74 have begun to be equipped.
But these attackers actually carried more than 50 poles!
The troops are more than 10 times, and their weapons, equipment and personnel combat qualities are no worse than those of the guard squad of the Four Army Regiment. The pressure faced by Tang Dao and 15 guard squad soldiers can be imagined.
However, it is extremely strange that the attack occurred at 2 pm. There was an infantry company less than 15 miles from the scene of the incident. Even if the fierce gunfire could not be heard, the surrounding mountain people could hear and report to the infantry company.
Even if it was climbing, it could be climbed in 2 hours. However, the result was that the Cavalry Battalion of the Four-Road Regiment had arrived at the scene across a total of 40 kilometers of mountain roads, and the infantry company did not see a single figure.
It seems that this fierce battle that lasted more than 2 hours was in another time and space.
Yes, even though the attackers had already gained a full advantage, it lasted for 2 hours from the ambush to the end of the gunfire.
The Chinese soldiers in the encirclement burst out with unprecedented energy, allowing the enemy who was 10 times more than themselves to fail to break the temporary positions composed entirely by natural bunkers.
However, in the face of absolute strength, they ultimately failed.
"Tang Dao was attacked and held on for two hours, breaking through the encirclement and retreating into the mountains. Life and death are unknown at present!"
"Tang Dao was attacked, and 13 people were killed on the spot by the guard squad, and the rest were unknown!"
"More than 300 cavalrymen from the Cavalry Battalion of the Four-Hand Regiment arrived at the attack site!"
"The Four Army Reconnaissance Company and about 500 people from the Mountain Infantry Company arrived at the attack site. One of them surrounded the infantry company of the 109th Division of the 32nd Army, which was practicing marching training for a long distance. Both sides were about to meet with swords and guns!"
"The first battalion, second battalion, third battalion, artillery battalion, air defense battalion and other departments have already begun to depart, and are currently hidden in the mountains, with unknown whereabouts!"
.........
"This is something big is going to happen!" Holding the secret reports from the War Zone Intelligence Department in his hand, the Lieutenant General Chief of Staff only felt like a honeycomb was stuffed into his head, and no sound could be heard except for the buzzing sound.
Tang Dao was attacked in a controlled area of the war zone, which was already terrifying and angry.
As long as you are not a fool, you know that there must be a problem here, otherwise how could you take such a good opportunity? Just when Tang Dao returned from the theater command after the combat meeting?
Regardless of whether the attacker is Chinese or Japanese, this traitor must be indispensable, perhaps, it is within the War Zone Command.
The overall reaction of the Four Army Regiment made the Chief of Staff of the War Zone pale.
That was a heroic group that once fought against 20,000 Japanese troops. Once they went crazy, who could stop them in the entire war zone?
Commander Wu of the 67th Army and Tang Dao were close friends, and they were founded in Songjiang's bloody battle for four days and nights. It is rumored that when the Four Army Regiment was established, many elite soldiers of the 67th Army joined the Four Army Regiment. It would be good if he didn't accompany him to go crazy, but he still hoped that he would send a soldier and a soldier?
The 22nd Army is a Sichuan Army Group. Tang Dao and Sixing Regiment were once the infantry regiments directly under their Army Headquarters. After three years of resistance, the Sichuan people were extremely united and hoped that they would fight in the nest? That was nothing to think about.
Not to mention the 33rd Army, General Zhang, who died in battle at Tang Dao, returned to the mountain city, and the 33rd Army was all grateful.
If the 11th Army of the Guangxi clan should restrain the wild beast that was about to go crazy, the Lieutenant General Chief of Staff felt ache in his heart. How many elite soldiers would have to die?
"As long as Tang Dao is not dead, the Sixing Group will not be really crazy. As long as he hides in the mountains, with his ability, the possibility of living is higher than 90%.
All the infantry company of the 70th Army tied me up and asked the war zone gendarmerie department to check whose orders they received and when they would convey the orders.
Tell them that this is the order of the theater command, who dares to resist and enforce military laws on the spot!
I sent a war zone security division to find the attackers and found them. I wanted all the alive and dead, and I could not miss one. I would like to give Tang Dao and the Sixing Group an explanation.
Also, I want to go to the scene to see who is so capable of sneaking into my 5th war zone to attack my first strong general." The general surnamed Li Ruo Hanshuang punched the small table with a fierce punch.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! A political veteran who has always been a joyless person, rarely revealing his inner emotions.
This anger is not just about the attack of Tang Dao itself. The war, assassination and attacks between the two countries are all tactical.
Since the war started, there have been at least hundreds of assassinations against senior Japanese generals and stalwart officers, and assassinations of traitors who defected to the Japanese army have occurred almost every day.
However, Tang Dao had just expressed his dissatisfaction with the rewards of military merits, and was attacked in his war zone with such a powerful attack. Does that mean that anyone who opposes him will be assassinated?
What made the general commander even more angry was that the person who planned behind him actually put the shit on his head.
Because Tang Dao was ordered to attend a high-level military meeting organized by his theater command and then happened.
Thousands of officers and soldiers of the Four Corps who were out of the camp and disappeared were strange. Before they learned the truth, they did not come to him, the commander of the war zone.
When the general surnamed Li arrived at the scene, it was around 7 pm, and the scene was already surrounded by 300 officers and soldiers of the Four Corps with firepower points.
A guard battalion, staff, military police department and other departments that the theater command arrived at were on the periphery and could not enter the attack site.
The captain led by the Four Corps had no explanation. Whether it was a major general or a colonel, if anyone dared to come to the former, there would be countless guns aimed at him.
The extremely cold face and sad eyes made them feel that the soldiers could really shoot.
Several officers from the War Zone Intelligence Department who arrived at the scene were detained, with more or less scars on their faces, which was a little embarrassed. That was the response they received after their explanation.
The officers and soldiers of the Four-Road Regiment, who were already wandering on the verge of madness, regarded everyone as suspects, especially the War Zone Command, which issued a secret telegram.
"I promise you that I will give you a satisfactory explanation! No matter who is involved in this matter, I will investigate it to the end." The general surnamed Li gave such a reply in the face of the cold-faced Captain's cold gaze.
After a long silence, Captain Cold-faced gave way.
However, he did not salute.
This is the greatest restraint that Gu Xishui can do.
The attack was taken on the way to the meeting, and the local garrison did not come to help. The attackers used the most exquisite firearms that the national army can currently be equipped. Even if all the attackers were Japanese, they would never be able to remove the suspicion from the inside.
