Eighteenth Army Headquarters
"Everyone, I'm going to say something ugly first!"
The deputy commander-in-chief summoned all the cadres of the three divisions and brigade levels and above. At the meeting, the deputy commander-in-chief looked solemn: "You each hold the most detailed information about each fortress in your hands, and even some of the information outside the fortress. The important situations are also clearly understood. The supplies and food in these fortress villages are simply free gifts to us. If anyone messes up the mission, don’t blame me for being rude! "
"Don't worry, boss. Our division is known as the Iron Broom, and we guarantee that not a single grain of food will be left behind."
"Boss, I can't guarantee anything else. It won't be a problem to capture all the fortress villages in my mission."
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, if you don't do the job well, I won't have the shame to come back to see you!"
…
All the brigade commanders and division commanders expressed their opinions in front of the deputy commander-in-chief, and they all looked extremely excited.
It seems that what they are holding in their hands is not a mission paper at all, but a mountain of supplies and food.
Once these food supplies are taken away, the soldiers below will have enough to eat, and their illnesses will be treated, and the non-combat attrition situation will instantly come to an end.
"I don't listen to any guarantees, I just want results..." Before the deputy commander could finish his words, someone hurried over from outside: "Report to the deputy commander, Commander Ding of the 28th Regiment came over urgently and said that there is urgent information."
"Let him come over." When the deputy commander heard that he was extremely anxious, he immediately thought that there was something wrong with Wu Ze. For example, the intelligence was wrong, and the big operation was about to start. This was no joke, so he immediately asked Ding Wei comes in.
After receiving permission, Ding Wei ran in excitedly. When the deputy commander saw it, he felt relieved. Looking at it like this, Ding Wei must have sent better news.
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, here it is." Ding Wei directly handed the information to the Deputy Commander-in-Chief without saying that this was the latest information sent back by the Eagle.
Although all those present were Eighth Route officers at brigade level or above, including Ding Wei's superiors, they were all absolutely trustworthy people.
But many secrets should be kept from as many people as possible, and this should be done as much as possible.
The deputy commander-in-chief took a look at the information handed over by Ding Wei, and suddenly became numb: "This, this, this..."
The deputy commander never expected that the newly handed information turned out to be Wu Ze's other aircraft that had ways to deal with the Japanese.
Wu Ze has now been promoted to the logistics section chief by Pu You, the commander of Station No. 23, and he has access to the Japanese army's oil transportation.
Wu Ze planned to take advantage of his position to secretly put sugar in the Japanese army's engine oil.
Adding an appropriate amount of sugar to this engine oil can make Japanese aircraft fall from the sky on their own.
Even the deputy commander-in-chief, who had seen many big scenes, paused at this time.
I have never heard of it that white sugar can be used to fuck a Japanese plane.
Moreover, in the eyes of the deputy commander, the Japanese aircraft were not so easy to deal with.
Chiang Kai-shek's air force was so beaten by Japanese planes that they did not dare to show their faces, and they did not dare to pull out anti-aircraft guns anymore.
Japanese planes are showing off their power on this land, and as soon as they appear, nightmares will follow.
And now, just sugar can deal with it?
Sugar, this is a strategic material for the Japanese.
For the 18th Army, it is even more precious.
In front of me, there is actually some sugar stored in the warehouse of the 18th Army.
Of course, the quantity is not large and is for emergency use.
At present, the troops are about to take action. If they take down more than twenty fortress villages, they will definitely be able to seize a certain amount of sugar.
When the time comes, this sugar will cause the Japanese planes to fall from the sky. Chiang Kai-shek's air force and anti-aircraft artillery units cannot deal with the Japanese air force. Our 18th Group Army can easily inflict heavy damage?
Is it really that easy to clean up a Japanese plane?
It felt so ridiculous, so unreal.
Seeing the deputy commander in chief acting dull and dazed, all the Eighth Route Army officers in the field looked sideways, suspicious, and some were even suspicious.
Could it be that the situation of Fortress Village has changed and this fortune can no longer be made?
The 120th division commander even looked at Ding Wei: "Ding Wei, what kind of information is this?"
"Can't say, I can't say, division commander, I can't say." When Ding Wei got this information, he was even more shocked than the deputy commander-in-chief.
You can use sugar to deal with Japanese planes. If this trick works, this will definitely be a classic battle that can go down in history.
When Commander 120 saw Ding Wei like this, his face darkened: "What kind of information is this..."
Before the commander of the 120th Division finished speaking, the Chief of General Staff spoke: "Shut up."
The 120th Division Commander was yelled at by the Chief of General Staff and immediately shut up.
One of the chief of general staff's jobs is in charge of intelligence. The situation in front of him must be that the chief of general staff jumped over the hierarchy and got some top-secret information from Ding Wei.
The chief of general staff has already jumped the rank, so he, the division commander, must not be able to inquire casually.
After the chief of general staff told the 120th Division Commander to shut up, he also turned his attention to the intelligence in the hands of the deputy commander-in-chief.
When the chief of general staff saw it, he and the deputy commander were dumbfounded: "This, this, this..."
If the Eighteenth Group Army had not been too tightly blocked by the Japanese, the deputy commander-in-chief and the chief of general staff would not have secretly planned a large-scale raid at the risk of exposing the strength of the entire army.
The deputy commander-in-chief and chief of general staff know deeply what it means once a large-scale attack is carried out.
This meant that the true strength of the Eighteenth Army would be exposed.
What does it mean when your strength is exposed?
This means that the 18th Group will be strangled with all the strength of the Japanese army by then, and even Chiang Kai-shek will be in trouble.
However, if they were not forced to have no other choice, the Eighteenth Army's ranks would expand too fast and all kinds of disadvantages would become more and more severe. Without large-scale raids, the ranks would have to suffer from non-combat attrition...
Therefore, a large-scale attack is imperative.
Japanese aircraft are one of the important threats to large-scale raids.
In addition to bombing indiscriminately above their heads, they will also perform reconnaissance in the air, predict the troop movements of the 18th Army in advance, hinder the material transportation of the 18th Army, and so on.
Therefore, it would be best if the threat of Japanese aircraft can be eliminated in advance.
After dozens of Japanese aircraft were destroyed at Yangmingpu Airport, the Japanese army strengthened the defense of each airport.
If Wu Ze wants to build a Japanese airport, even if Wu Ze gets the airport information, the troops of the 18th Army will go to seize the airport, and there will definitely be many casualties.
The Chief of General Staff never thought of asking Wu Ze to lurk there and wait for an opportunity to obtain airport information.
As a result, Wu Ze gave too many surprises.
First, it provided a surprising strategic plan, which could allow the teams of the 18th Army to capture more than twenty fortress villages.
Once the supplies of these twenty-odd fortress villages were captured, the strength of the 18th Group Army was greatly restored. When the time comes for large-scale raids, the combat effectiveness will definitely be stronger.
Then there is the plane in front of us, which is responsible for the little devils.
Wu Ze has an even more unexpected plan. He has successfully become the logistics section chief of Station 23, and he will have access to the Japanese army's oil transportation.
He only needs to secretly add sugar to the transported engine oil when it is convenient for him. In this way, he does not need to take the risk to obtain defense information at the airport, and the 18th Group Army team does not need to take the risk. Attack the airport at a strong cost.
Just needing sugar can severely damage the Japanese aircraft.
This is simply...
If it succeeds, it can severely damage the Japanese fleet at a very small cost, which will be an excellent help for the subsequent large-scale raids.
"Two bosses, I think we have to give it a try no matter what." Ding Wei said excitedly to the deputy commander, "If we have doubts, we can test it first. The 386th Brigade happens to have captured cars. "
The Japanese plane has an engine, and the car also has an engine.
If adding sugar to the engine oil can damage the engine, you can first use the car to experiment.
Although cars are valuable, if this trick really works, scrapping a few cars will mean nothing.
The deputy commander came to his senses under Ding Wei's reminder, and immediately said solemnly to the Eighth Route Army officers present: "You all go and execute the order immediately, and bring me all the supplies and food from the fortress village. However, this The order needs to be added. No one is allowed to touch the sugar you seized. Send it all to the 28th Regiment as soon as possible. Anyone who dares to embezzle or hide it privately will be dismissed lightly no matter what the reason is. , I have to send him to a military court!”
Ding Wei was responsible for connecting with Wu Ze, so the sugar was naturally transported to the 28th Regiment.
"Yes." Although the Eighth Route Army officers did not know what the emergency information was, they saw with their own eyes that the deputy commander-in-chief and the chief of general staff were so rude. If they dared to embezzle or hide sugar without permission, they would be sent to a military court. This It is enough to show the importance of sending sugar to the 28th Regiment, and it is very likely to be related to a strategic level war.
Everyone nodded heavily, not daring to have any objections.
"Go, hurry up and go." The deputy commander said, "Commander Chen of the 386th Brigade, please stay for a while."
The officers of the Eighth Route Army dispersed quickly. Brigadier Chen of the 386th Brigade walked up to the deputy commander with suspicion: "Boss, what do you want me to do?"
Brigadier Chen has a background in intelligence, and he has sensitive intuition and judgment about intelligence.
There are many intelligence details, and he can roughly judge the content of the intelligence with just a few clues.
In front of him, he witnessed the gaffe of the deputy commander-in-chief and chief of general staff, and also heard Ding Wei suggesting that the cars captured by the 386th Brigade should be used for experiments.
Brigadier Chen still couldn't tell what the content of this intelligence was.
"Take a look for yourself first." The deputy commander handed the information to Brigadier Chen.
Brigadier Chen took it and took a look. He had the same reaction as the deputy commander-in-chief and chief of general staff. He immediately became rigid: "This, this, this..."
Sugar can deal with Japanese aircraft. There is no need to obtain airport intelligence or storm the airport.
Just white sugar is enough.
When did this Japanese plane become so easy to deal with?
It's so easy to believe it's true.
The deputy commander solemnly said to Brigadier Chen: "Go back immediately and arrange for the troops of the 386th Brigade to carry out the big operation. In addition, you can bring some sugar from the headquarters and do an experiment for me in person. Put the sugar into the engine oil to see if the engine is broken. , report the test results to me as soon as possible.”
The chief of general staff added: "Two of the best repairmen from the arsenal will be sent there as well."
"Yes!" Brigadier Chen reacted and quickly saluted and accepted the order.
"Go." The deputy commander said.
"Yes." Brigadier Chen left in a hurry.
"Ding Wei, if I don't tell you, you are more and more aware of the importance of Xiao Wu." The deputy commander looked at Ding Wei, "You know what you should tell the Eagle when you go back."
"Boss, I'll go back then." Ding Wei saluted.
He understood what the deputy commander-in-chief meant, and he must tell Wang Damao again to pay attention.
Once things go wrong over there, cover Wu Ze's evacuation at all costs.
If possible, even if all 28 regiments were to attack and fight them all, Wu Ze must be brought back intact.
"Go ahead."
Ding Wei left in a hurry.
"Lao Zuo, do you think adding sugar to engine oil can really cause the engine to stall?" the deputy commander turned to ask the chief of general staff.
After fighting for half his life, the deputy commander has never seen such a battle.
"I don't know either." The chief of general staff shook his head, with a strong sense of expectation on his face: "Xiao Wu is not low in wisdom. Since he brought it up, he must not be joking with us."
"Haha." The deputy commander laughed uncontrollably, looking forward to it. "If this trick can really work..."
"We'll just wait for Brigadier Chen to send us back the good news." The Chief of General Staff was also looking forward to it.
"Hahahahaha."
…
new group
"The brigade commander assigned the most profitable fortress to the 772nd Regiment. The brigade commander is biased! He just gave me a small fortress in the new regiment, and I had to share it with Kong Erlu. It's really unfair!"
Li Yunlong looked at the map and complained, and was very dissatisfied with the deputy commander Zhong Zhicheng, "Old Zhong, you went to the brigade headquarters for the meeting, why didn't you dare to argue with the brigade commander? Why didn't you dare to argue with the brigade commander? There’s a fight!”
Although, the New Regiment is now the richest among the four regiments under the 386th Brigade.
However, when it comes to getting rich, for Lao Li, the more the better.
If we, Lao Li, go to the brigade headquarters for a meeting, blind Cheng of his 772nd regiment won't even get a hair on his head.
This fortress village belongs to our new group.
Faced with Li Yunlong's accusation, Zhong Zhicheng said: "Li Yunlong, if you are angry, go to the brigade commander to express it. The reason why the superiors made such arrangements must have been considered by the superiors."
"What nonsense!" Li Yunlong stared, "I think it's because you, old Zhong, are too timid in front of the brigade commander. What are you afraid of? If it were me, I would fight with the brigade commander..."
"Li Yunlong, you have become more capable. Who are you going to fight with?" Suddenly the brigade commander yelled from outside.
When Li Yunlong heard this, his ferocious expression instantly stiffened.
His ferocious tiger instantly turned into a kitten, no, he turned into a little rabbit.
How dare he fight with the brigade commander? Even if you gave him a hundred courages, he wouldn't dare.
"Brigade, brigade, brigade, brigade commander, you, you, you..." While Li Yunlong's expression was stiff, the brigade commander came into the room. Seeing the brigade commander actually coming, Li Yunlong's face turned pale. Extremely stuttering.
Li Yunlong was also cursing in his heart: How could a bear like Hu Zi be a guard? The brigade commander is here, why didn't you tell me in advance, let me be caught by the brigade commander!
And how did Li Yunlong know that the brigade commander specifically did not allow Huzi to report the news.
He was about to come over and see if Li Yunlong was scolding and complaining again.
As expected, this kid actually dared to fight with me. It seemed like he needed to take care of himself.
Otherwise, if things go on for a long time, we won’t know who is the brigade commander.
