"He incited the regiment-level officers from the national army to rebel. At the critical moment, the regiment-level officers defected on the battlefield, which had a very bad impact." Zhong Zhicheng said while handing Wu Ze a piece of information, "Read it for yourself. "
Wu Ze took the information and looked at it. Even though he was just looking at the information, he couldn't control the anger in his heart.
Hateful, this Zhong Ze is so hateful.
It was a battle of encirclement and annihilation. Zhong Ze kidnapped the family of a regiment leader of the national army and forced him to rebel.
The regiment leader defected before the battle, allowing the encircled Japanese regiment to escape, and also provided the Japanese aircraft with accurate coordinates.
The Japanese aircraft fleet bombed tens of thousands of Nationalist troops indiscriminately, detonating arsenals. The Nationalist army suffered extremely heavy casualties and also lost large areas of rivers and mountains.
"Where is this person now?" Wu Ze asked.
Jingle Bell!
The phone on the table suddenly rang.
"I'll answer the phone first." Zhong Zhicheng hurriedly answered the phone.
As soon as he answered the call, Zhong Zhicheng was stunned: "What, someone caught him?"
"Okay, okay, I understand, I understand, I will cooperate immediately."
After Zhong Zhicheng ended the phone call, he said to Wu Ze: "Wu Ze, the 28th Regiment has captured Zhong Ze."
28 regiment?
When Wu Ze heard this, he thought this was Ding Wei's group in the third division, right?
Ding Wei, one of the Iron Triangle in northwest Shanxi.
At the beginning, he was the leader of the 28th regiment.
After Li Yunlong disobeyed orders and was withdrawn in the Battle of Cangyunling, Ding Wei's plan to study in the rear was cancelled, and he was appointed as the new regiment commander to take over Li Yunlong's troops.
"Wu Ze, the 28th Regiment has reported this matter, and the deputy commander-in-chief knows about it. He asked you to go to the 28th Regiment immediately. You should leave as soon as possible." Zhong Zhicheng said.
"What do you want me to do, replace Zhong Ze?" Wu Ze could feel the urgency in it.
"I didn't say anything on the phone, but one thing is certain. Zhong Ze has made great contributions to the Japs and will definitely be reused by the Japs. You look very similar. The deputy commander-in-chief even greeted you personally, which is enough to show the importance." Zhong Zhi Chengdao said, "The 28th Regiment has sent people to pick you up, but you should hurry up and get there. I'll send people to protect you."
"Okay, Deputy Commander Zhong, I'll come back when I'm done with Zhong Ze's affairs." Wu Ze said, took out a piece of paper and handed it to Zhong Zhicheng: "I originally wanted to do this in person It was handed over to the head of the regiment, but now it seems that I can only ask you, the deputy regiment leader, to hand it over."
Wu Ze stayed in the canyon for more than three days, and in his free time, he wrote something.
"What is this?" Zhong Zhicheng asked as he took it.
"The new regiment is now strong. It can raise some elite small troops. It will definitely be of great use on the battlefield in the future." Wu Ze did not directly say that it was a special force, but said that it was an elite small unit.
Raising special forces is different from ordinary troops. It consumes a lot of food, ammunition and other materials.
The previous New Regiment lacked guns and ammunition and could not afford to support special forces.
It’s different now, you can do it in advance.
Wu Ze had seen the training subjects of the special forces before, but he couldn't recall them all, but Wu Ze had written down the ones he could recall.
"Elite small unit?" Zhong Zhicheng obviously didn't understand, but he still put the paper away solemnly, "When the leader comes back, I will hand it to him personally."
"Yeah." Wu Ze hummed, and then Zhong Zhicheng sent someone to send Wu Ze away quickly.
…
Heyuan County.
After Ichiro Hirata's adjutant sent a message to Ichiro Hirata, he has been waiting for his call back.
Although, he knew that the electrode might not be able to wait this time.
But the adjutant was still waiting.
Jingle Bell!
The phone on the table rang rapidly, and the adjutant picked up the phone: "I'm Urashima!"
"Urashima-kun, the aviation unit has confirmed that there are indeed traces of flash floods over Wanger Mountain." The superior's solemn voice came from the phone: "How many garrison troops are there in your county? ?”
"The captain took a squadron with him when he left. Now there are only one squadron of the Imperial Army and one battalion of the Imperial Alliance Army left in the city." The adjutant replied and asked, "General, have reinforcements been sent?"
"There are no reinforcements at this moment!" The voice on the phone was serious. "There are wars in the seven counties around Heyuan County. The Chinese troops in the seven counties have gone crazy and are attacking desperately. Even the planes can't hold them down. We are still asking for help from other places. Especially the 358th Regiment, which has almost reached Ping'an County."
"General, I can't hold on with my small force. General, I should..." Before the adjutant could finish his words, the phone communication was cut off.
The adjutant quickly shook the phone again, but couldn't get through.
"Baga, someone must have destroyed the phone communication!" the adjutant yelled and quickly called someone to repair the phone line.
The adjutant ran to the telecommunications room. The phone could not be reached, but there was still a radio station that could be contacted.
However, when he arrived at the telecommunications room, the telecommunications staff here were lying in a pool of blood.
As for the radio station, it has disappeared.
"Baga, damn it!" the adjutant jumped to his feet.
This situation is obvious. It must have been done by an undercover agent from Tubal Road.
He had personally investigated before, and it seemed that he had not screened out the undercover agents on Tubal Road in the past.
Or the undercover agent from Tubal Road lurked in again.
Now, the phone communication is cut off, the radio station is gone, and he has completely lost contact with his superiors.
But during his phone call with his superiors, he also learned that there would be no reinforcements in Heyuan County in a short period of time.
The new regiment on Tubal Road already has enough weapons to attack the enemy, and the defense will definitely not be able to hold on.
The city must be abandoned.
The adjutant had never experienced such an urgent scene before, and his mind was very confused for a while.
If your mind is confused, you will make wrong decisions.
He quickly called the puppet battalion commander: "Immediately take your people and destroy and burn all the warehouses in the county."
"Taijun, aren't we going to defend the city?" The puppet battalion commander heard something from the adjutant's nervous tone.
"We must defend the city. Go quickly." the adjutant urged.
"Yes." The puppet battalion commander responded and ran away quickly.
The puppet battalion commander quickly summoned all the officers of the Royal Association Army under his command.
"Just now Urashima Taijun told me to destroy and burn all the warehouses in the city immediately." The puppet battalion commander said to his officers.
"Battal Commander, what are you talking about? Did Taijun destroy all the warehouses in the city?" When these puppet army officers heard this, they were stunned.
One of them approached the puppet army battalion commander: "Battal Commander, Taijun Hirata has applied for a 20,000-strong army to encircle and suppress the new regiment on Tubal Road. He himself also led the team out, and now he wants to burn down the warehouses in the city. Could it be that Prince Hirata’s war failed?”
"That's why I called you together urgently." said the puppet battalion commander, "I can see that Taijun Urashima wants to abandon Heyuan County. He asked our Imperial Army to destroy the warehouses in the city, but he did not let us The Japanese soldiers went to do it. He must have wanted to seize the time to gather the Japanese soldiers and leave us to run away. Brothers, our family members are all in the city. Once Urashima Taijun abandons the county seat, we and our family members will definitely not be able to escape. Anyway, They are all going to be prisoners, now, tell me, what should we do?"
When these puppet army officers heard this, they all shouted:
"If Urashima wants to abandon the county seat, why should Ichiro Hirata's entire army be wiped out? This is too ridiculous."
"If Taijun Hirata Ichiro is still here, even if the remnants of the army can come back, Urashima Taijun will not let the county warehouse be destroyed. Looking at this situation, I am afraid that the entire army will be wiped out."
"The new regiment of Tubalu is too capable. They are so strong and have cannons. Even if we forcefully defend the city, we will be dead."
"Damn it, we can't burn it or destroy the warehouse. We will be prisoners by then and we won't get any preferential treatment."
"Yes, Tubal Road is extremely short of supplies. They were hoping to capture the county town and seize supplies, but we burned them down. The soldiers below may be fine by then, but we officers will definitely be killed."
"Yes, we can't burn it. We can't cut off our retreat."
…
Seeing that none of his men dared to burn the warehouse, the puppet battalion commander continued to induce: "Brothers, since we don't burn the warehouse, Urashima Taijun will definitely not let us go when he sees this. Do we have to Do something more?"
The puppet battalion commander barely said the word "rebellion".
The puppet army officers frowned when they heard this.
They all instantly understood what the puppet battalion commander meant.
For them, they dare not do it without destroying the warehouse.
However, they didn't have the confidence to fight against the Japanese soldiers.
They have all seen how powerful the Japanese soldiers are.
A tiger-wolf-like demon whose fighting prowess is truly extraordinary.
When the puppet battalion commander saw this situation, he became more angry: "When we put on this skin, we were forced to do nothing. We helped the Japanese do a lot of evil things, but now the situation is different. The Japanese have all run away." , we have to plan for our family."
As soon as the puppet battalion commander mentioned his family, the hesitation in the eyes of the puppet officers diminished a lot.
In the beginning, they were forced to become puppet soldiers in order to survive for their families.
Now, Tubal Road is about to attack, and the Japanese are going to give up on them. This is their chance to take off their dog skins.
After taking off the dog skin, the family no longer bears the infamy of being a "family member of a traitor."
"Fuck it, do it."
"Yes, there are hundreds of us. If you don't believe us, we can't kill dozens of these little devils."
"Yes, I will risk my life. If I die, I hope the living brothers can tell the Eighth Route Army that I died fighting the Japanese. I hope my family can be given preferential treatment."
"Me too."
…
"Since everyone agrees to go with the Japanese, we have to plan carefully." The puppet battalion commander said solemnly. He explained the plan in detail to the puppet officers, and everyone split up to act.
Wu Ze expected that the puppet troops in Heyuan County might rebel, so there was no need to waste cannon shells.
Before Zhong Zhicheng's people spread the news of Ichiro Hirata's defeat in Heyuan County, the puppet soldiers in Heyuan County had already begun to rebel.
The new group took advantage of the situation.
