Four hundred and fiftieth chapters Hengyang trip (five)
The farmers nodded repeatedly and hurriedly ran to the hospital in the city with the Nationalist soldier. What the guards guarding the city gate didn't notice was that there was some smile in the eyes of those farmers that they shouldn't have...
"It's right in front, let's go faster." The guard leading the way urged.
"Boss, wait a minute, I forgot to tell you something." A farmer suddenly grabbed the guard and said.
The guard turned around and asked strangely, "Is there anything else?"
There was a clear "poof" sound, and the guard covered his neck desperately. He looked at the old farmer with the dagger in his hand in disbelief. He wanted to say something, but the blood foam gushing out blocked his throat and made him choke.
He couldn't make any sound at all, and he slowly fell down. Toushan, disguised as a farmer, immediately said, "Quick! Put on your military uniform and ask for directions."
The few people selected by Toushan were all agents with good martial arts skills and excellent qualities. They quickly found the patrol team, hid in the corner and attacked the patrol soldiers who were last. If they were caught alive, they immediately tortured Jiang Cheng's whereabouts.
I know in my heart that time is running out. Although it is normal to lose one or two people in wartime, whether they are killed or fleeing, but there are more than seventy or eighty missing, no matter how stupid the National Army is, they should have discovered that something is wrong. The head mountain is for themselves.
The time limit is four hours. If you still can't find Jiang Cheng's whereabouts within four hours, leave the city first or hide and wait for the next opportunity.
Toushan's torture was very simple. He asked if he knew where those people from Shaoguan lived. If he said he didn't know, he would cut off his ears with a knife and then ask. If there was a sign of shouting, he would stab his throat with a knife and lean on the opponent.
Confident in his own skills, Toushan was not afraid that these captured Nationalist soldiers would attract the attention of others. Finally, he got the answer he wanted from the mouth of the seventh Nationalist soldier.
"All those people from Shaoguan are in the basement of a school near the headquarters. Please, please let me go." A Nationalist soldier said while peeing in his pants.
Toushan smiled evilly and said, "How dare you lie to me? What you said is completely different from what we know!" He said he was about to chop.
The man's mouth was gagged, his limbs were detached from their joints, and he lay on the ground shivering, shaking his head. Toushan put away the knife and asked, "What? Do you want to tell the truth?"
The Nationalist soldier cried and said, "What I said is true... they are really in the school."
Poof! Tou Shan's knife penetrated the heart of the National Army. The National Army looked at Tou Shan in surprise, and Tou Shan stared into the eyes of the National Army until the National Army was completely dead.
"Well, it's true. It should be at that school. Let's go! Let's go to the school immediately." Toushan put away the knife and waved to a few people to pack up and prepare to leave.
In the basement, Jiang Cheng opened the door. In the past few days, except for the first day when Jiang Cheng spent all his time in Hengyang to watch the battle, in the following days Jiang Cheng returned to modern times and took machinery and equipment to Suzhong, where construction was in full swing.
Expanding, he just returned to Hengyang tonight with some food and ammunition.
"Boss, Hengyang has been fighting well these days. Our army has caused at least seven to eight thousand casualties to the Japanese army. One brigade of the Japanese Thirteenth Division has been completely destroyed and another division has been replaced. But
For Shiniufeng, there is not much difference. In the past few days, the Japanese army used poison gas three times, but it had no effect, and then gave up using poison gas." Jinshan briefly introduced the current battle situation to Jiang Cheng.
, Jiang Cheng nodded repeatedly and said, "It seems we fought well. How many casualties did our army have?"
Jinshan replied, "Judging from reports this evening, the total number of casualties in our army has exceeded 5,000, and more than half of the casualties were due to the bombing of Japanese heavy artillery and aircraft. If our fortifications were not well built, I am afraid that the losses would have been
It will be bigger.”
Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "The Japanese artillery is indeed a problem, especially the heavy artillery. Our army cannot match it, but as long as the Stone Niu Peak is not lost, Hengyang will not be in danger."
After saying that, Jiang Cheng asked, "What about the reinforcements?"
Jinshan smiled and said, "I haven't heard any news about reinforcements at all, but it's only the fifth day, so no one is in a hurry."
Jiang Cheng hummed and said, "There will be reinforcements, and Jiang Jie will not give up here... and neither will Jiang Jingguo."
--Ganzhou
After Zhang Lingfu and Hu Lian left, the only general left in Jiang Jingguo's hands was Ma Weilong. At this time, Jiang Jingguo already had the dilemma of having too few available men. Although with the overt and covert help of Jiang Cheng and Jiang Zhongguo, Jiang Jingguo's men
It can be said that there are many talents, but there are not many generals that Jiang Jingguo can trust. After all, most of the senior officers who can be used by him are Huangpu soldiers introduced by Jiang Zhongguo. Most of these people are loyal to Jiang Zhongguo.
It's not him, Jiang Jingguo. He has understood this a long time ago. The others do not have enough prestige in the army. It is okay to be a regiment commander, but the division commander does not have enough qualifications to support him.
Jiang Jingguo drank tea, looked at the letter on the table that had been turned over countless times, and remained silent for a long time.
A millennium of hatred has gone from the sugar to the stone, Duduo is reborn in the south of the Yangtze River and cries. The dragon changes the clouds and reaches the country, and the Central Plains is filled with gardens and fields. Pengcheng plays the Lanling song, and the heart of heaven has become a Zhurong pool. The three Yangs are tightly locked, and hundreds of armies are killed.
The voice of the enemy. The universe has undergone tremendous changes, and the five stars destined for destiny have emerged.
This prophetic poem has been in his hands for more than two years. The Nanjing Massacre, the explosion of Huayuankou, the Lunan victory, the Changsha fire...everything has been predicted. At this time, Hengyang defended
Did Zhan respond to the saying "Three Yangs"?
Jiang Jingguo did not understand the mystery, but it did not affect his guess. He had long known from his conversation with Jiang Cheng that Jiang Baili had said in 1923, "One day in the future, we will fight against Japan, Jinpu, Jinghan
Both roads will be occupied by the Japanese army. Our national defense should be based on Sanyang, namely Luoyang, Xiangyang and Hengyang."
When Jiang Jingguo heard this sentence from Jiang Cheng, he was so excited that he thought he had successfully deciphered a sentence in the prophecy. These days, he really hoped that this prophecy was true.
, Hengyang... we can no longer retreat. If we retreat further, China will be completely torn apart.
"Knock, knock, knock" came a knock on the door. Jiang Jingguo put away the piece of paper, opened the study door, saw Wang Sheng, and quickly asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen to Hengyang?"
Wang Sheng shook his head and nodded again and said, "It is indeed Hengyang, but it is not Hengyang. I just came back from Nanchang. This time it was a joint meeting held by Chief Xue Yue and Chief Gu Zhutong. There were also phone calls from the commissioners at the meeting.
The main meaning is that the Japanese army has been blocked in Hengyang, and our army will have more than 20 days to recuperate. We order our army to use these 20 days to revitalize the troops, gather strength, first relieve the siege of Hengyang, and then find opportunities to counterattack. Xue said at the meeting
The Chief and Chief Gu decided to gather the first two or three troops to attack Hengyang from Jinggang Mountain, Lianhua Mountain and other areas. However, the military commander also said at the meeting that the Japanese army had already sent a division to wait for our troops on the road.
Going up there, it is impossible to simply get through it, and you will definitely encounter a strong blockage from the enemy."
"Isn't this nonsense!" Jiang Jingguo snorted, "The Japanese are experienced in battles and are not stupid. Are they going to let us rush forward arrogantly? What did they say?"
Wang Sheng continued, "Of course they are obligated before the appointment call, but I feel that even if they really want to fight, I am afraid they have more than they want but not enough strength. In fact, it is not just us who are repairing, the Japanese army is also repairing. Here
I'm not optimistic about the battle, I'm afraid the losses to the reinforcements will be greater than those in Hengyang City!"
Jiang Jingguo waved his hand and said, "We must not make any mistakes in Hengyang. We still have more than 20,000 people in the youth army. If it doesn't work, just pull them all in! Unfortunately, our strength is still too small..."
Speaking of this, Wang Sheng rolled his eyes a few times and said, "Actually, with Mr. Jiang in our youth army, there is always no shortage of arms and equipment. Ordinary soldiers can be recruited, and it is also very simple to expand the army by mixing old and new people. The only thing we really lack is
Just a low-level commander."
Jiang Jingguo nodded and said, "Yes, I don't want to use those soldiers directly. As you know, those people are indeed good at fighting, but they know how to protect themselves wisely. They cannot be used at the real critical moment. Qualified grassroots officers can
It is the soul of an army, where can I find so many junior officers?"
What Jiang Jingguo didn't say in his heart was that what he needed was someone who was truly loyal to him, not his father. After all, who knows what the future will be like.
Wang Sheng said in a low voice, "Commissioner, you have forgotten that there are a large number of officers who have been hidden by us. Those people are all capable of fighting, and now that the situation has eased, we can just tell them, first
Let these people pull up our troops. At least if Hengyang is really in danger, we can let Commander Ma go to the front line, and the troops trained by these people will be the elite soldiers of our youth army."
Jiang Jingguo's eyes lit up, and he immediately knew who Wang Sheng was talking about, that was the New Fourth Army that he had protected. Now that the domestic situation has eased, no one except a few of his close friends knew about these people. As long as the senior commanders were his own
, it doesn’t matter if middle and low-level commanders use these people, and they can also make a statement about Yan’an.
After thinking about it, Jiang Jingguo nodded and said, "Okay, you go and arrange this matter immediately. However, the senior commanders still have to use our own people. Do you have any candidates?"
Wang Sheng thought for a while and said, "I know a person who was highly praised by Mr. Jiang. His name is Sun Liren. He just graduated from Anhui this year. He is a top student who graduated from the Virginia Military Institute in the United States. He was the head of the tax police corps during the battle in Changsha."
Chief, from a factional point of view, he should be a member of the Song family. After the Changsha battle, his subordinates were basically exhausted. Song Ziwen is now sent to the United States to handle diplomacy. Naturally, he is also marginalized. I am still in Nanchang this time.
After seeing him, he is now in rank and without a soldier, and it is the time when he is down and out."
Jiang Jingguo also remembered that Jiang Cheng had indeed mentioned this person before, and said, "Okay, then you go find him immediately. I will send a telegram to the committee and let him be the commander of the Independent Division of the Youth Army!"
Jiang Jingguo knew that Jiang Jingguo had always hoped that the relationship between him and the Kong and Song families would ease. Now that he wanted someone from the Song family, I was afraid that Jiang Jingguo would agree immediately, so he was not worried.
Wang Sheng nodded and retreated. Jiang Jingguo closed the door in the room, looked at the location of Hengyang on the map, and said slowly, "Hengyang... Sanyang is locked... I hope it's true."
——Hengyang
Toushan carefully approached Hengyang No. 3 Middle School, where Jiang Cheng was. Toushan slowly poked his head out, looked at the heavily guarded middle school, and said to the agent next to him, "It should be here. Look, here."
The equipment and dress of the guards are different from those of the National Army. I'm afraid they are Jiang Cheng's personal armed forces."
The agent next to him looked at it, nodded and said, "It looks like they are very vigilant. How do we get in?"
Toushan waved his hand and said, "Let's go around twice and take a look!"
Toushan felt that he was extremely careful and was far enough away that he would never be discovered. But on the tower, Li Qian slowly put down the telescope, picked up the headphones she was wearing and said, "All attention! All attention! There are rats infested! Eight
No. 1 will protect the safety of No. 1. Group 3 will go to Area D to ambush, Group 7 will go to Area F to ambush, and Group 2 will go to Area G to intercept. Pay attention to concealment and don’t shoot if you can. I will take command from the center!"
After saying that, Li Qian continued to pick up the infrared telescope brought by Jiang Cheng from later generations. In the telescope, the movements of Toushan and others were clearly visible. Three teams of guards quickly drew arcs and ran to surround Toushan and others on three sides.
, when the three teams of guards were in place, Li Qian smiled slightly, operated the searchlight and said, "All personnel, pay attention to my direction, prepare to arrest, three! Two! One!!"
When she was talking, Li Qian suddenly turned on the searchlight. Toushan, who was still lying on the roof, only felt a strong light. When his eyes blurred, he knew something was wrong. He was not sure whether he had been discovered or not.
He kept his head down, hoping that this was just a trick or a coincidence.
But what made Tou Shan despair was that after a while, seven or eight searchlights were pointed at him. He could still clearly hear the enemy's footsteps and the sound of firearms. He slowly raised his head, constantly telling himself to calm down.
.
Toushan chuckled and said to the guard who had already walked in front of him, "Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! I was asked by Commander Li to protect everyone. I didn't expect that I would be discovered so far away. It's really a misunderstanding!"
As he said that, Toushan was surprised to see a figure jumping down from the first searchlight tower. He thought he was going to fall to death, but instead he flew towards him as fast as a light swallow, and soon he was in front of him.
, this is actually a woman!
Li Qian looked at Toushan, and suddenly seemed to remember something. She slapped her head and said, "You...you, you, you...are you the Japanese who attacked Sister Yu in Shanghai last time?"
Toushan looked at Li Qian. He never expected that he would meet someone he knew. He looked at the pile of gun muzzles pointed at him, thought about it, and simply admitted that he changed his body to a posture commonly used by Japanese people.
He bowed to Li Qian and said, "I have come to see Your Excellency Jiang Cheng on the orders of General Seishiro Itagaki of the Imperial Japanese Army. Please inform me sir."
