The sky was gradually getting dark, and on the dirt road from Jiangmen to Guangzhou, a long dragon stretching for tens of kilometers was driving toward the east.
Most of this long convoy are trucks, carrying either soldiers or artillery. Of course, there are also some three-wheeled motorcycles and jeeps passing by occasionally.
In a grass-green jeep, Suri was sitting in the back seat, slowly flipping through a battle report, but there was no joy in his brows.
The communications officer who had been sitting in the front passenger seat curiously saw Su Rui's face in the rearview mirror. He couldn't help but feel a little strange. The outskirts of Guangzhou City had been captured. Why didn't the military commander show any joy at all?
What was he worried about? Although he was full of questions, he didn't dare to ask more questions when he saw the cautious look on Su Rui's face.
After pondering for a while, Suri took out a cigarette from his pocket and started smoking slowly. Suddenly, the jeep began to fill with smoke. Suri had many things to consider, and the first one was how to
The problem of conquering Guangzhou. Guangzhou is the capital of Guangdong and has a large number of residents. This means that heavy equipment such as aircraft and heavy artillery cannot be used. According to reports from the front line, the Japanese troops stationed outside Guangzhou City are only thousands of remnants of the 18th Division.
, which means that Guzhuang Qianlang put all his main forces into Guangzhou City and planned to fight a street battle with him.
Street fighting is the last thing the attackers want to see. After all, the environment in the city is complex, and even if they can win in the end, it will be a tragic victory. Su Rui is not willing to use the team he has worked so hard to build here.
They lost everything in this battle, but it was imperative to capture Guangzhou. How to capture Guangzhou with minimal casualties became the top priority before Su Rui.
Along the way, Suri racked his brains and couldn't think of any good solution. Now his mind was filled with examples of heavy casualties in street fighting in later generations, such as the street fighting in Grozny, the street fighting in Mogadishu, the street fighting in Berlin, the street fighting in Stalingrad, etc.
Etc., these examples without exception all taught him the dangers of engaging in close combat with the enemy in a big city.
I don’t know how long it took. Su Rui suddenly asked the communications consultant in front, "Xiao Sun, we are going to attack Guangzhou. Little Japan must be hiding in the streets and playing hide and seek with us, and we are not familiar with Guangzhou city. In this way
It will be difficult for us to find them, are you afraid?"
The communications staff officer was stunned for a moment, then realized that the military commander was asking him a question, and quickly replied: "What are you afraid of? Do you think they are safe hiding in the city? Don't forget that it is our territory. We don't
We know the way, but there are still so many people like us in the city? Just let them lead the way, is it possible that we are afraid of them? Since we have decided to attack Guangzhou, why should we look forward and backward, just attack."
The communications staff officer's words also aroused the pride in Su Rui's heart, and he couldn't help but laugh: "Haha. I didn't expect that you, a small staff officer, can understand things better than me, a military commander. That's right!
Now that you have decided to fight, why bother looking forward and backward, just hit him! Hahaha!"
At this point, Su Rui, who had figured it out, laughed, but the communications staff officer in front of him scratched his head in confusion and thought: "Did the army just have a headache because of whether to defeat Guangzhou? No.
It should!"
Just when Su Rui was worried about the heavy casualties of his troops in the attack on Guangzhou, Dai Li, who was far away in Chongqing, felt as if his head was about to split. A pair of eyes watching the excitement and a stern voice were scolding him. The reason
It's very simple, because Saito Risaburo who was sent to Chongqing by the Three Hundred Army was actually killed.
Speaking of which, Saito Ritsaburo's death was related to Dai Li being too cautious.
After Saito Risaburo was escorted by Su Rui to Chongqing by plane and handed over to the military commander, Dai Li, who was afraid that the detention location would be too long to leak the news and lead to Saito Risaburo being killed or kidnapped by the Japanese, decided to have to go to Chongqing every three days.
The order to change the place of detention, who knew it was this order that sent Saito Ritsaburo to the point of no return.
Yesterday was the day when the detention of Saito Risaburo was transferred. At about 3:20 in the morning, the three vehicles escorting Saito Risaburo were attacked by a group of armed men on their way to the new location. This group of armed men would soon
Rampantly laying landmines on the road, blowing up a truck full of soldiers that was clearing the way, and then using a heavy machine gun to smash the car in which Saito Ritsaburo was sitting in the middle into a hornet's nest, and then drove away. When reinforcements arrived,
When they arrived, they found that Saito Risaburo was already dead.
This incident shocked the entire Chongqing officialdom, not only because the person who was killed was a Japanese lieutenant general, but more importantly because the location where Saito Risaburo was attacked was very close to the offices of various levels of government in Chongqing. So.
As soon as they came, the faces of the big bosses were quite ugly. If the Japanese did the same to them, what would they do?
In response to this, not only did Chairman Chiang become angry and ordered Dai Li to solve the case within a time limit, but also various bigwigs in Chongqing also put pressure on Dai Li to arrest the Japanese group as soon as possible.
As a result, Dai Li became anxious. For the sake of the black gauze hat on his head, he frantically dispersed all his men. Under the investigation of thousands of military commanders and tens of thousands of gangs in Chongqing, he finally found the Japanese
He killed more than a hundred Japanese spies and captured many spies. It can be said that the Japanese spy network hidden in Chongqing was completely destroyed.
This time, in order to kill the prisoner Saito Risaburo, the Japanese completely destroyed the intelligence network they had painstakingly built for more than ten years, and they did not recover until their defeat in the future.
"So, after just a few days of hard work, you destroyed an intelligence den of the Japanese and didn't find out anything else?"
In the office, Chairman Chiang was staring at Dai Li in front of him, with a stern light in his eyes.
Dai Li, who was neatly dressed in the uniform of a lieutenant general, felt a dampness on his back and whispered: "Principal, the students are incompetent. They only killed more than a hundred Japanese spies and captured a few, but...but..."
"But you let Saito Ritsaburo die!" The chairman's voice resounded in the office, "Did you know that we were going to hold a press conference in two days, and we have released the news.
, the reporters also rushed to Chongqing. We were going to announce the news to the whole world, but you screwed him up! This is all because of your stupidity and incompetence!"
Chairman Chiang is a face-saving person. After Risaburo Saito was sent to Chongqing by the Asian Games, he invited reporters from various countries and major media in China to prepare for a press conference to show the bravery of the national army in front of the whole world. Isn’t it?
We even captured the Japanese lieutenant general. What a great honor it was. But now it was all ruined. All of this was due to Dai Li's negligence. Thinking of this, Chairman Chiang had the urge to beat people up.
Seeing Chairman Jiang's increasingly fierce gaze, Dai Li felt that his feet were a little weak. He knew that if he didn't do something, he might not be able to pass the test today. He suddenly thought of something and said: "Principal,
In fact, Saito Risaburo is nothing more than a prisoner. If he dies, he will die. Now that everyone knows about this, we can also take this opportunity to accuse the Japanese at the press conference and let the whole world know about them.
A man like Saito Risaburo is cruel and does not attract the attention of reporters. There is one thing more important than Saito Ritsaburo's death."
"Well, are you talking about Su Zhongxin and his three hundred troops?"
Chairman Chiang is such a smart person, he immediately thought of it as soon as Dai Li said it.
"That's right..." Dai Li said quickly: "Chairman, isn't the Three Hundred Army attacking Guangzhou now? Do you think, as long as Guangzhou is liberated, the sensation it will cause will be compared to that of ten Saito Rikisaburo?"
"Hmph, you know how to change the subject!" Chairman Jiang snorted softly and stopped talking. He didn't know that this was Dai Li changing the subject to avoid his own fault, but what Dai Li said did make sense. After all,
Saito Risaburo is dead. He can't undo this loss by holding Dai Li responsible, and the method he said is a good idea.
After thinking for a while, the chairman asked again: "Tell me your idea carefully."
"yes!"
Dai Li wiped his cold sweat, his mind was spinning rapidly, and said: "Chairman, although Su Zhongxin and his 300 Army are seemingly inseparable from the Central Committee, the 300 Army is still affiliated with the National Army, and he, Su Zhongxin, is also part of the Central Committee.
He was a consecrated second-level general. This was something he could not deny. Although he did not allow the Central Army to recapture Guangzhou with him, it didn't matter. We could send people from the Military and Political Department to lead the reporters in? After arriving in Guangzhou, we
We do not interfere with their command, we just accompany the reporters on the tour and let them record the battle to recapture Guangzhou. Our purpose is to divert the attention of the reporters, and what happens next is none of our business."
"Huh……"
Chairman Chiang couldn't help but be surprised, and thought carefully about Dai Li's words. Although Dai Li's original intention was just to exonerate himself, when he thought about it carefully, he found it more and more reasonable to send those reporters to the front line in Guangzhou and pick them up.
What happened next had nothing to do with him.
If Su Rui fights well, it is the glory of the Central Committee. If Su Rui does not fight well, it will be Su Rui's face that is disgraced. It has nothing to do with the wise Chairman Chiang. I will receive this kind of benefit, and you will take the blame.
Chairman Chiang's favorite thing to do.
Thinking of this, the chairman's dark face began to soften, and he said slowly: "Since you made this suggestion, it is up to you to handle it. If you fail to handle it again, you will have to do it."
You don’t have to come to see me again!”
Dai Li quickly assured loudly: "Principal, please don't worry, if this thing goes wrong again, the students will come to see you!" (To be continued)
