In everything, there are good and bad.
At the beginning of the encirclement and suppression campaign, Tojo Ichiro let a hundred Japanese aircraft go to the mountains of the Eighteenth Army to find targets and attack freely, which caused a certain amount of casualties to the Eighteenth Army and the civilians.
The Eighteenth Army combined guerrilla warfare and special operations, causing Tojo's troops to advance slowly and suffer heavy casualties.
Tojo Ichiro improved his tactics. The rhythm and pace of Tojo Ichiro's army encircling the mountains was significantly accelerated. However, as the number of aircraft used to bombard the morale of the Eighteenth Army was reduced, for the Eighteenth Army, the number of soldiers and casualties dropped. There is a certain degree of reduction.
In the blink of an eye, a week has passed
Although Tojo Ichiro's army has not yet found the main force of the 18th Army, it has quickly advanced deep into the mountains.
It will take up to ten more days for Tojo Ichiro's troops to complete cutting the mountain. (The premise is that the main force of the 18th Army does not show up, allowing Tojo Ichiro's army to successfully complete the cut.)
At that time, the mountain was cut into dozens of small parts, and Tojo Ichiro could let the army conduct a brutal sweep of these cut parts.
If everything goes well, it will be a piece of cake to eliminate the 18th Army and find the strategist of the 18th Army.
On this day, after Wu Ze asked the headquarters to send electricity to Yinshan in Taiyuan, he came to the 386th Brigade in person.
When Brigadier Chen learned that Wu Ze was coming, he quickly came over to greet him personally: "Xiao Wu, you are a rare visitor."
"Brigadier Chen, I don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything." Wu Ze went straight to the point, "I came here to tell you a mission."
"Xiao Wu, are you about to take action?" Brigadier Chen looked at him expectantly.
Although the little devil's plane is no longer shitting on its head, but if the little devil's plane is not cleaned up, it will always be uncomfortable to have a sharp sword hanging over the head in this counter-encirclement and suppression campaign.
"Brigadier Chen, let's talk alone." Wu Zedao.
"Follow me." Brigadier Chen nodded and immediately led Wu Ze to an unoccupied room.
"Brigade Commander Chen, judging from the map, your 386th Brigade and Lao Li Lao Kong's troops are arranged in a 'pin' shape. Coupled with the geographical advantage, this means they have a great sniper advantage."
Wu Ze spread out the map in front of Brigadier Chen, pointed at the center of the three troops on the map, and continued: "I have deployed the 88th anti-aircraft artillery unit here, and the bait will be released soon. When the time comes, The 88th anti-aircraft artillery unit will fight against the Japanese aircraft fleet here. After the Japanese aircraft fleet is severely damaged, the Japanese commander's mechanized troops will reinforce from your defense area. When the time comes, your troops should not expose their traces and let the Japanese mechanized troops and infantry come in. Your troops After the Japanese mechanized troops and infantry have passed, immediately lay out powerful minefields at these points, the kind that can directly destroy the Japanese tanks, to prevent the Japanese tanks from escaping after being defeated by me. Finally, you can lead the troops in There is an ambush set up at this pass. If I predict correctly, the Japanese tanks will definitely run out of fuel when they drive here. The tanks have no fuel, and they are just scrap metal. It will be dark by then, so you can take advantage of the darkness. Conduct a surprise attack to eliminate the remaining Japanese infantry and capture as many Japanese tanks alive as possible."
On Wu Ze's map, the details were clearly marked, and even the route and time of the Japanese tanks' escape were predicted in advance.
Brigadier Chen looked at it carefully and looked at Wu Ze seriously: "Xiao Wu, you will lead the 88 anti-aircraft artillery to fight against the Japanese aircraft group. How confident are you?"
"There is no problem in inflicting serious damage on the Japanese fleet. I'm afraid it's impossible to completely wipe out the Japanese aircraft fleet. I think some fish will slip through the net." Wu Ze replied.
At that time, the arrogant Japanese pilots were attracted by the bait, and their height was not high.
The lower altitude further reduces the hit rate of the 88 anti-aircraft gun.
Thirty-six 88 anti-aircraft guns suddenly launched an attack. In a hurry, the Japanese aircraft would definitely pay a heavy price.
But the pilots of the Little Devil are not vegetarians. They have strong adaptability and will definitely fight back when the time comes.
When they find that they are not their opponents, they will turn around and run away. The anti-aircraft guns have no legs and cannot pursue them.
Therefore, Wu Ze was confident of severely damaging the Japanese fleet.
Total annihilation is unlikely.
However, even if the Japanese plane can run, it won't be able to escape far.
Perhaps it is not impossible for Japanese pilots to dare not take off again.
"Can the 88 anti-aircraft gun really hit tanks?" Brigadier Chen looked very excited.
"You can't attack tanks. If you attract the Japs' tanks, that's not asking for death." Wu Ze said seriously, "The Japs' strongest tank can't withstand a single shell. After all, the 88mm caliber is not a decoration."
"Well, OK, no problem." Brigadier Chen responded with a smile. He remembered something and asked: "Capture the Japanese tanks alive. This guy Li Yunlong is very interested in this kind of making a fortune. Let me make a fortune. I'm afraid that guy Li Yunlong Go ahead and scold me."
"There's no way." Wu Ze shook his head, "According to the scout's information, the Japs' mechanized troops are now at the location of your 386th Brigade. When the time comes, the Japs' mechanized troops' reinforcements will have to come from your side. Li Yunlong and Kong Jie must cooperate with me. The 88th anti-aircraft artillery unit attacked the reinforced mechanized units and defeated the Japanese tanks by then, unless Li Yunlong's troops could catch up with the speed of the tanks."
"Hahaha." Brigadier Chen laughed, "Xiao Wu, that's interesting. It seems that this time, our 386th Brigade can make a fortune."
"Brigadier Chen, then hurry up and prepare." Wu Ze finished speaking and was about to leave.
The plan drawings are very detailed. Brigadier Chen is also an outstanding officer trained by Huangpu Military Academy. Wu Ze does not need to say too much.
"I'll see you off." Brigadier Chen wanted to see Wu Ze off.
"No, I'll go back by myself." Wu Ze rode away.
Brigadier Chen quickly summoned the commanders of his four regiments, the 772nd and 771st regiments, as well as the new regiment and the independent regiment, for an emergency military meeting.
Here, some people may wonder, does the 386 Brigade still have a new regiment and an independent regiment?
Li Yunlong and Kong Jie have both left and been promoted.
Yes, Li Yunlong's new regiment was expanded into a new brigade, and Kong Jie's independent regiment was expanded into an independent brigade, both of which were separated from the 386th brigade's combat order.
However, the headquarters retained the designations of the New Regiment and the Independent Regiment, and replenished the troops and rebuilt the two regiments.
Therefore, the current 386 Brigade is still four combat regiments.
Otherwise, with only the 772nd and 771st regiments, they would not be able to complete the tasks assigned by Wu Ze.
The four commanders of the 386th Brigade gathered quickly. Cheng Xiazi, the commander of the 772nd Brigade, looked at Brigadier Chen: "Brigadier Commander, call us together quickly. Is there any major military operation?"
"That's right, our 386th Brigade is going to make a fortune. Keep your ears open!" Brigadier Chen excitedly unfolded the plan drawings left by Wu Ze and began to distribute tasks.
…
two days later
Taiyuan
Since Tojo Ichiro led a large army to encircle and suppress the 18th Army, this required a huge supply of materials, including ammunition.
Taiyuan Arsenal is an important ammunition supply place.
Zhong Ze is the warehouse supervisor.
He is responsible for the shipment of ammunition from this warehouse.
On this day, Zhong Ze counted the amount of ammunition in the warehouse, and then summoned several offline workers.
Gu Xi
"Everyone, our superiors have assigned us a very glorious and arduous mission. This mission is very, very dangerous. The operator is very likely to die during the mission. I will not force you, you can make your own choice." Zhong Ze said.
"Director Zhong, if it weren't for you, I would have died on the street a long time ago. It was you who saved my life from the hands of the Lord of Hell. I have lived for a few more months and it has been worth it. Please give me the task."
"Director Zhong, since this mission is dangerous, it must be able to severely injure the little devil. As long as it is a mission that can handle the little devil, I will take it."
"Director Zhong, just tell me what the mission is, we have already put our heads in our belts."
…
Each of these offline people expressed their willingness to take on the task.
"Everyone, on behalf of the organization, I would like to thank you for making important choices for the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War." Zhong Ze was pleased. "It seems that my vision in the past was not wrong. You are all bloody men."
"Director Zhong, tell me what the mission is."
"The mission is like this." Zhong Ze told several people in detail.
In a few days, the ammunition and arms stored in the warehouse will be shipped out. People like them from the arsenal will help transport the ammunition to the station and help load the trucks.
During the loading process, there are some details to pay attention to.
"Director Zhong, we don't quite understand." These people listened, "If we just make a little friction while transporting ammunition, will the ammunition or munitions explode?"
"If the ammunition or weapons don't explode, it's our fault. When the time comes to unload the truck, the people over there will be unlucky." Zhong Ze said, "If we are unlucky, then we will go on the road together, and there will be someone to take care of us on the road to hell."
"Director Zhong, otherwise, you don't have to work with us." These offline people said.
"As the warehouse manager, how could I not go? There are documents coming down from above, and the person in charge of each link must be present to supervise in person." Zhong Ze looked serious.
Zhong Ze finished communicating with several downlines and then went home as usual.
Zhong Ze cooked a few dishes with his own hands and bought some wine.
It had been dark for a while, and then my father, Zhong Yunhe, slowly returned home.
Seeing Zhong Ze cooking with his own hands for the first time, Zhong Yunhe's eyes were a bit wider than usual: "Oze, what's going on today? You can actually cook?"
"Old guy, come sit down and tell you something." Zhong Ze called Zhong Yunhe over.
"What's the matter? Are we preparing to leave Taiyuan?" Zhong Yunhe sat down in front of Zhong Ze.
Zhong Ze poured wine for Zhong Yunhe, and then poured wine for himself: "Old guy, aren't you thinking about leaving a heir for the old Zhong family?"
"What's wrong, have you found a woman you like?" Zhong Yunhe heard this and asked in surprise.
Zhong Ze picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, "Actually, I have left a child for the old Zhong family. Your grandson is almost two years old now."
Your grandson is almost two years old?
When Zhong Yunhe heard this, he was a little confused: "Oze, don't joke with me. When did you have it? Why didn't I know?"
"Dragon begets dragon, phoenix begets phoenix, mice give birth to babies that can burrow." Wu Ze scolded, "What kind of father will give birth to what kind of son, so you are allowed to go around and old cows eat young grass, just like Aren’t I allowed to show mercy everywhere?”
"Hahaha." Zhong Yunhe laughed loudly, "Tell me, where is our grandson now?"
"I can't tell you now." Zhong Ze shook his head and changed the subject: "I received news that I may be transferred away to do some secret tasks. In this case, it may be difficult for us, father and son, to see each other again. When the time comes, someone will naturally tell you where your grandson is."
As for the almost two-year-old grandson, it was actually made up by Zhong Ze.
He just hoped that when the people from the organization took Zhong Yunhe away, Zhong Yunhe could cooperate smoothly.
Arriving at the rear of the Eighteenth Army, I hope he can have a new life.
"What kind of secret mission are you doing in the arsenal? Aren't you doing a good job in the arsenal?" Zhong Yunhe became serious, "How about Ozawa, let's just run away and don't stay in Taiyuan."
Zhong Yunhe had a feeling that this so-called secret mission might simply lead to death.
Even telling himself the whereabouts of his grandson, Ozawa seemed to be saying goodbye to himself.
"Run, where can we run?" Zhong Ze looked at Zhong Yunhe, "Now the world is ruled by the Imperial Army. Can you escape the pursuit of the Imperial Army? Even if we, father and son, can escape the pursuit of the Imperial Army, when we reach the National Army or the Eighth Route Army Over there, you and I are both being called traitors, do you think they will give us a way to survive?"
"Oze, you are so smart, there is no way you can't not perform this task?" Zhong Yunhe became very nervous and frightened.
"Old guy, although the mission is dangerous, it is not impossible to survive. Your son and I are so smart that I will protect myself." Zhong Ze comforted him.
"Oze, please stop fooling me!" Zhong Yunhe shouted, "If there was no way to survive, would you tell me about your grandson?"
"Old guy, what's your name!" Zhong Ze pretended to be angry and slapped the table, "At the beginning, if you hadn't taken three of our brothers to join the imperial army, the eldest brother and the second brother would have died. Now do you know that you regret it? .”
"I, I, I..." Zhong Yunhe stared at me for a long time, unable to say anything.
Zhong Yunhe once felt regret for taking his three sons to the Japanese.
But what's the use of having regrets, the eldest and second child are both dead, and now the third child looks to be in danger.
As for running, it is a dead end.
It was he who brought the family into a desperate situation.
"Old guy, remember, you don't want to tell anyone what I told you, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to see your grandson." Zhong Ze didn't say too much to Zhong Yunhe, and stood up, preparing to take a rest. .
"Oze, can you tell me what your secret mission is?" Zhong Yunhe pulled Zhong Ze.
"Old guy, who dares to talk nonsense about the secret mission of the Imperial Army?" Zhong Ze solemnly said, "You know, it is not good for you or me. You must remember that I went to perform a mission. If someone comes to see me, You, take you to find your grandson, remember to follow them without hesitation."
At that time, regardless of whether the static electricity can detonate ordnance at Taiyuan Station, Zhong Yunhe must leave Taiyuan.
The arms detonated, and even if Zhong Ze died, the Japanese Special High School would investigate the cause.
Zhong Yunhe, as a family member of Zhong Ze, even the family members of the victims, may not be able to escape the interrogation of the Special High School.
The arms did not explode at Taiyuan Station, but exploded on the other side.
Zhong Ze also had to be investigated, so he could only evacuate early. Naturally, Zhong Yunhe could not continue to stay in Taiyuan.
After saying that, Zhong Ze went back to his room.
Zhong Yunhe picked up the wine bottle and poured wine into his mouth.
