Chen Geng's change of circumstances
As a city far away from the East China Field Army base and the front line, Nantong City was immediately enveloped in a tense atmosphere after receiving the combat order from Nanjing.
A group of heavily armed troops, under the orders of the division commander Lieutenant General Kanda Masane, quickly drove out of the city gate and assembled at the train station outside the city. Of course, as the 17th Field Division of the Tongzhou garrison,
The regiment commander, Lieutenant General Kanda Masane, also came to the troop assembly area, surrounded by guard troops, preparing to attack with the troops as the former enemy commander-in-chief.
"Your Excellency, the commander of the division, according to your order, the four infantry regiments, the baggage regiment, the cavalry regiment, and the engineering regiment, totaling 20,000 troops, have all been assembled. Please give instructions..." A combat staff officer panted.
They rushed to the division headquarters and reported loudly.
"Yoshi, very good. I believe that with the 20,000 elites in my hands, the East China Field Army will be able to deliver a big surprise..." Lieutenant General Kanda Masane nodded with great satisfaction and said confidently.
After taking a quick glance at the glorious combat troops in front of him, he set his sights on the Chief of Staff of Tongzhou who stayed behind. Then, he said: "Chief of Staff, I will leave the safety of Tongzhou City to you..."
"Please rest assured, sir, I believe that with the independent garrison, independent heavy artillery brigade, and field artillery regiment directly under the division in Taizhou City, we will be able to ensure the safety of Tongzhou City..." the chief of staff said without any hesitation and full of confidence.
replied.
Of course, this kind of confidence does not come from the strength of the troops in his hands. As the chief of staff, he knows very well that the troops in his hands seem to be very strong, with a huge number of heavy weapons. However, in real field battles, these troops
, and cannot exert much combat effectiveness. After all, no matter how good the artilleryman is, he cannot put bayonets on the cannon.
Now, as the chief of staff, he is so confident for two reasons. On the one hand, he is only responsible for the important task of defending the city. With the heavy weapons in his hands, in the battle to defend the city, in these important tasks
With the favorable cooperation of weapons, he can completely turn the entire Tongzhou City into a thorny hedgehog, making it impossible for the enemy to eat. Of course, there is another reason, that is, according to the headquarters' report, the East China Field Army,
There is no extra force left to attack Tongzhou City, which is heavily defended by troops.
Seeing the confident chief of staff in front of him, Lieutenant General Kanda Masane, who also knew the specific reason, smiled with great satisfaction and said nothing more. Then, he gave a serious order to the combat staff officer in front of him.
road.
"Combat staff, please convey my order immediately. All combat units, according to the predetermined combat plan, immediately take the train north and attack via Hai'an County..."
"Ha Yi, your Excellency, the division commander, is wise and humble. You will go and give the order right away..."
Compared with the tense atmosphere in Nanjing, Taizhou, Yangzhou, and even Nantong, Hai'an County, the only road from Nantong to Taizhou Railway Main Line, is peaceful, without any impact due to the war that is just around the corner.
Early in the morning, the shops in the city began to open for business, welcoming the arrival of a new day. Groups of police patrols, as usual, marched in neat steps, shouldered rifles, walked out of the military camp, and began a period of
A day's patrol. At the same time, groups of spies and traitors also began to appear on the streets and alleys, searching for people they thought were suspicious.
However, what surprised all the vendors was that among the troops patrolling today, whether they were Japanese soldiers with strict military discipline or traitors and spies with lax military discipline, they were all surprisingly honest. Because, in one morning, the entire market,
There was no phenomenon of forced buying and selling by Japanese soldiers, traitors, spies and others.
Of course, this is only a minor change in Hai'an County. As for the bigger changes, they are still to come. Just when the city gate opened, a group of elite "Japanese soldiers" quickly occupied the city gate and began to
Military martial law was imposed. All ordinary people were only allowed to enter and were not allowed to leave. The train station less than two kilometers away from Hai'an County was also completely occupied by a brigade of elite "Japanese troops" early in the morning, and no one was allowed to approach...
In this atmosphere of calm and tension, Chen Geng, commander of the Sixth Corps, unexpectedly appeared in the former Japanese Supreme Headquarters in Hai'an County.
"Chief of Staff, how is the situation in the city? Have there been any accidents? There is also the train station. The train station is the top priority of our operation. No matter what, we cannot make any mistakes. Otherwise, we will have to change the situation.
The plan will become ineffective.
"Commander, we deployed in full accordance with the pre-war arrangements, and there were no accidents during the entire process. I guarantee that before the Japanese 17th Field Division is completely annihilated, there will never be any news about our army's occupation of Hai'an County.
Reveal it..." the chief of staff assured very confidently.
"That's good... I never expected that the combat effectiveness of our special operations division would reach such a powerful level... Without firing a shot or a bullet, we could quietly occupy a county town with just a dagger, and even
The Japanese army was unaware... Now, I really admire the Commander-in-Chief more and more. I really can't believe how the Commander-in-Chief trained such an elite force..." After listening to the Chief of Staff's report, Chen Geng felt nervous.
, immediately put it down, and then said with emotion. In his mind, the specific battle scene of the special battle group last night also appeared for the first time.
It turns out that since the troops were ordered to attack, Chen Geng, as the commander, has been thinking in his mind about how to complete the combat tasks assigned by the headquarters at the minimum cost. Of course, if he can exceed the tasks assigned by the headquarters, then
Even better. So, after thinking about it day and night, the town of Hai'an, which is located on the railway line, and a plan to change the day and night, appeared in Chen Geng's mind.
Of course, although the plan is good, it must be executed by someone. And the most important link in the whole plan is how to quietly change the situation and step on Haian County quietly, waiting for the 17th Japanese Army.
The field divisions threw themselves into the trap.
Just when Chen Geng announced his battle plan and the difficulties he faced at the battle meeting above the division level of the Corps. Wang Hong, the commander of the first special operations division assigned to Chen Geng at the headquarters, stood up from his seat without hesitation.
He stood up and vowed to take on this task, which in everyone's eyes was almost impossible to complete...
As a result, a bloody and shocking sneak attack took place in Hai'an County...
Under the cover of night, the special forces team members, like ghosts, quickly climbed up the city wall. Then, under the astonished eyes of the Japanese patrol troops, they accurately inserted daggers with cold light into their hearts.
, use the shortest time and energy to end their lives.
In less than five minutes, the city gate defended by a small group of Japanese troops was quietly captured by dozens of special operations team members. Immediately afterwards, in the small county town, the Japanese garrison headquarters and troop garrison were located.
Gendarmerie headquarters, police stations, special service stations, train stations... wherever the Japanese and puppet troops were stationed, they were visited by special forces. Wherever the special forces went, what they left behind must be bloody.
There is no battlefield left alive…..
Just when Commander Chen Geng and the command staff walked into the headquarters, the bloody scene in the headquarters compound shocked everyone's hearts.
As soon as we walked into the headquarters, a strong smell of blood rushed to everyone's nostrils. At the same time, a Japanese corpse placed in various postures was placed in front of everyone. As the commander, Chen Geng
, Chuchu calculated that there were no less than a hundred corpses gathered in the small courtyard.
And just when Chen Geng was shocked by the powerful combat effectiveness of the special operations division, the commander of the first special operations group, Wang Hong, appeared in front of everyone with a relaxed voice. Then, he said with a smile on his face.
"Commander Chen, I'm sorry, because the manpower of the 1st Special Operations Regiment is too scattered. The bodies in the hospital have not been cleared yet... However, the specific results of the battle have been fully calculated. According to the reports of each combat unit, the two-hour battle,
Our special operations group wiped out a total of 1,358 Japanese guards, 872 puppet troops, and 128 spies at the cost of zero casualties. All enemies, according to the battle plan, no one slipped through the net, and all were wiped out..."
"Commander Wang, all of these two thousand people were wiped out by you with daggers..." Chen Geng, who had truly experienced the combat effectiveness of the special operations division for the first time, asked with a shocked look on his face.
"Yes…."
After receiving Wang Hong's affirmative answer, Chen Geng was prepared, but still fell into infinite shock. Then he said: "Commander Wang, I really didn't expect that the combat effectiveness of the special warfare division has reached such an astonishing level."
Realm. Two hours of fighting has been hard enough for your regiment. The next thing will be left to the soldiers of the Sixth Corps. I believe that these soldiers can still do the job of cleaning the battlefield...
."
Looking at Wang Hong who left quickly, Chen Geng reacted from the shock. His face was immediately shrouded in excitement. He quickly rushed into the cleaned war room and began to deploy the specific combat tasks of each unit.
…..
And early in the morning, the 'Japanese patrol team', 'traitor team' and 'special agent team' that ordinary people saw... without exception, were all played by soldiers of the Sixth Corps. As for the main force of the Sixth Corps, they were
Under the personal command of Chen Geng, a huge net was laid out with the train station as the center, waiting for the Japanese 17th Field Division to fall into the trap.
