Chapter 592 Okamura Neji’s dream is broken (second update)
Seeing that Huang Yong was still looking at him with a sullen expression, Huang Yu no longer hid the secret and said bluntly: "Do you still remember the secret agent company that has disappeared for a day and a night?"
"They will give Okamura Neji the last gift tonight."
"As long as the mission is successfully completed, there will be no more Japanese planes flying over our heads during the day tomorrow."
Huang Yong and Huang Yu have been together for more than a month, and they have gradually figured out the regiment leader's routine. As soon as their minds turned, they thought of something, and quickly asked: "Captain, you won't let the special agent company sneak attack on the Little Japanese Airport, right?"
Huang Yu nodded: "Okamura Neiji transferred two infantry squadrons from the airport yesterday. Tonight is the best time to sneak attack on the airport."
"I prepared more than a dozen mortars for them, each equipped with thirty rounds of shells. Just using the shells can blow up the place to pieces. It will definitely be no problem for the Japanese planes to lay down for one or two days."
…………
After the Japanese North China Front Army Headquarters decided to bring back the five thousand elite troops who had reinforced Baoding, Okamura Neji was in a much better mood and was not as anxious as before.
As long as five thousand elites return to Peiping, the so-called Peking guerrilla detachment of the Eighth Route Army will be wiped out in Tong County and completely become history.
After not sleeping for two days and one night, he could finally close his eyes and take a good rest.
The deputy chief of staff was embarrassed to answer: "The responsibility lies with the ground crew."
"We were indeed fooled!" the captain said helplessly, feeling aggrieved and angry.
"In order to eliminate the Peiping guerrilla detachment as soon as possible, the take-off rate of aircraft is very high."
"Sir, there seems to be no one in the city?" a squadron leader reminded in a low voice.
…………
"However, the airport was not attacked by enemy infantry from beginning to end, which means that it is impossible for the enemy to blast the oil warehouse at close range."
"Others are on standby, ready to respond at any time."
The deputy chief of staff immediately said: "I just contacted them once and promised that I can return to Peiping before four o'clock tomorrow afternoon...".
He immediately walked up behind the operator and ordered: "Send a telegram to the headquarters immediately."
Although they have no combat effectiveness, they can still scare the Japanese and puppet scouts.
They were a detachment and a half transferred from Tianjin by Neji Okamura. On the way, after receiving three to four hundred artillery shells from the garrison, there were still more than 1,200 people left.
There is also a troop advancing rapidly on the official road ten kilometers due east of Tong County.
"Notice from the headquarters: There are thousands of people in the Peking guerrilla detachment. If there are troops hidden on the city walls, there is no way there will be no movement at all..."
"As long as the five thousand elites rush back to Peiping in time, even without aircraft support, their tanks and heavy artillery can defeat the Peiping guerrilla detachment and recapture Tong County."
"After the attack started, a shell hit the fuel at the door of the warehouse."
Another squadron leader immediately stood up and echoed: "Even in a humble position, I feel that there is no one on the wall!"
"What do the airport guards do? There are so many troops and they can't even protect a small airport. What do I want them to do?"
In order to rush on the road, they didn't even eat lunch and went straight to Tongxian County, fearing that the Eighth Route Army occupying Tongxian County would escape.
Okamura Neji clenched his fists, his eyes turned red at the same time, and he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
Sweep all the way at the front of the team, driving away all the Japanese and puppet scouts lurking on both sides of the road, so that the retreating troops can be exposed as late as possible.
The Japanese leader thought that all the enemies were hiding, and was preparing to launch a sudden counterattack when he got closer. This caught him off guard, and he cautiously stopped his troops five hundred meters outside the city.
"The airport was attacked. Why didn't you report such a big thing to the headquarters and request support as soon as possible?"
"They like to hide in the dark and use artillery fire to attack us from a long distance, so as to achieve maximum results at the minimum cost."
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the little devil from Tianjin City could already see the head of Tongxian City.
They arrived at Tong County an hour earlier than the returning reinforcements. They could not only scout the battlefield in advance, but also help the main force keep an eye on the opponents and block them in the city.
The closed city gate was also opened, and a commander Cao rushed towards the captain with excitement on his face: "Sir, there is an empty city in front of you, and there is not a single Eighth Route Army in it. They evacuated Tonghua more than two hours ago, and they also took the captured Imperial Alliance Army with them.
It was taken."
The city gate tower had been reduced to rubble by yesterday's bombing, and the city wall had been bombed with holes everywhere. The city gate was tightly closed, and not a single person was seen.
"Your Excellency, Commander, something big has happened. The airport has just been attacked by unknown armed forces. Most of the planes were destroyed, the oil warehouse was bombed, and the losses were heavy... We will not be able to send out aircraft for at least five days." Deputy Chief of Staff
He opened the door and rushed to report, his face full of panic.
"Judging from the offensive methods, the opponent should be a member of the Peking Guerrilla Detachment."
Okamura Neji was so frightened that he jumped out of bed. As he walked to the war room, he asked: "Who did it..."
At the headquarters of the Japanese North China Front, Okamura Neiji was still dreaming about closing the net, but he didn't know that the big fish occupying Tongxian County had already entered the sea.
The deputy chief of staff quickly answered: "The ground officer on duty had an accident while putting out the fire and died in action..."
Just when he was dreaming of taking back Tong County, there was a knock on the door again.
…………
After scolding, he said with a happy face: "Fortunately, the airport was attacked tonight, not last night."
"Thousands of kilograms of fuel exploded at the same time, and the power was no less than several aerial bombs."
"No matter how strong the oil warehouse is, it cannot hold it..."
The cavalry companies are dispersed around the team in squad units.
Five minutes later, the probing troops reached the foot of the city wall in fear.
The situation was exactly the same as the judgments of several squadron leaders. Facing the probing troops so close at hand, there was still no movement at the top of the city.
"Tell me: how the oil warehouse made of reinforced concrete was destroyed by mortar shells."
The sweet dream was interrupted, and one can imagine his mood. Okamura Neji opened his eyes and said with dissatisfaction: "Come in..."
Okamura Neji's anger had not completely dissipated. He punched the table and said dissatisfied: "It's too easy for him to die like this."
"How long will it take for the reinforcements returning from Baoding to arrive in Peiping?"
Some were carrying rifles and mortars, others were carrying mortars, and no prisoner had empty hands.
He took a long breath, forced himself to slowly regain his composure, and then suppressed his anger and ordered: "Kill all the ground officers on duty last night. Someone must be responsible for such a big thing at the airport."
"That's good..." The anger on Okamura Neji's face completely disappeared and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
On the official road fifteen kilometers away, a large army composed of armored combat vehicles, cavalry, heavy artillery, and infantry was advancing rapidly.
"Inform the pacification army headquarters that the returning troops will retake Tongxianxiang. They must rebuild the 23rd Regiment as soon as possible and take over the defense of Tongxian County..."
In order to avoid greater losses, we were stopped by Neji Okamura yesterday afternoon and have not set off again until now.
"The ground crew wanted to speed up the replenishment of fuel and ammunition, so they moved the fuel out of the warehouse without authorization and piled it at the entrance of the warehouse."
The mules and horses followed closely behind the prisoners, carrying finances, medicines, and other important materials seized by the troops in Tong County.
At 12 noon the next day, the assault company took the lead and evacuated Tong County first.
Unexpectedly, after asking around, he found out that the culprit of the airport's destruction turned out to be one of his own. This was a slap in his face.
"Otherwise, the Peiping guerrilla detachment will attack the reinforcements we sent to Tong County even more brazenly. Maybe they will have been killed by now."
"Our troops successfully reached Tongxian County, but the Peiping guerrilla detachment that captured Tongxian County has retreated, and there is no Eighth Route Army in the city."
The deputy chief of staff on duty followed closely behind him and reported: "The airport guard reported that the entire attack only lasted ten minutes."
"The enemy never appeared from the beginning to the end, and they kept attacking the tarmac and oil warehouse with mortars from a long distance."
After hearing this, Okamura Neiji looked puzzled and asked: "How is it possible that no infantry participated in the battle and only some small-caliber mortars caused such a heavy loss to the airport?"
The captain's brows gradually furrowed. He stared at the city for another minute and then began to issue an order: "The First Squadron will dispatch a small team to investigate closely. If there is no one on the city, continue to investigate."
It wasn't until the reinforcements sent a telegram from Tong County that he realized that he had been tricked by his opponents. They had no intention of fighting him in Tong County and everything was just his imagination.
Ten minutes later, companies 1 and 4 began to leave the city with more than 2,000 puppet prisoners.
"Nani?"
"Although mortar shells can destroy aircraft on the tarmac, they cannot destroy oil warehouses made of reinforced concrete unless explosives are used to blast them at close range."
"Your Excellency, Commander, we must not let the Peking guerrillas escape." the chief of staff analyzed with anger.
"The radio operator immediately set up a radio station. If there are really no enemies in the city, then we have been tricked by the Peking guerrilla detachment. We must find out their specific location as soon as possible, otherwise this enemy will turn into a tiger hiding in the dark and rush out at any time.
If you bite us, the troops will have no way to defend themselves."
The probing troops became more confident as they rushed forward. They found a gap in the city wall that had been blown down and climbed up to the top of the city. After a while, more than a dozen people climbed up to the top of the city and planted military flags.
"According to the investigation, the Peiping guerrilla detachment evacuated Tong County two hours ago. The captured Imperial Army soldiers were taken away with them, along with a large amount of loot. The destination of the retreat is currently unknown. I sincerely request the headquarters to allow us to divide our forces to search and find them."
"The five thousand elite troops are the only remaining mobile troops in Peiping. They are too talented to be used as local garrison troops."
I rushed from Tianjin City, but I was hit repeatedly on the way and paid a huge price. In the end, I didn't even gain a hair from my opponent.
"They brought thousands of prisoners of the Imperial Army. With the mobilization capabilities of the Eighth Route Army, over time, half of the Imperial Army will become the Eighth Route Army. Moreover, they are a group of Eighth Route Army soldiers who can go to the battlefield with guns without training. The overall combat effectiveness of the Peking Guerrilla Detachment
It’s definitely going to skyrocket.”
"The airport was severely damaged and the aviation force was unable to conduct aerial reconnaissance, and could only rely on infantry and cavalry to conduct ground reconnaissance."
"The troops returning from Baoding are about to enter Peking. As long as the specific location of the Peiping guerrilla detachment is determined, they will be able to kill them immediately. I agreed with the reinforcements from Tianjin to divide their forces to search for the Peiping guerrilla detachment."
