Dragon Boat Festival thought he had made a mistake. Xie Jinyuan is not him. Xie Jinyuan does things strictly and will not take action without conclusive evidence.
But precisely because of this, Duanwu was worried that Xie Jinyuan would suffer. So he was going to give Xie Jinyuan a heads up. As long as Xie Jinyuan knew that he went to the 174th Division, then he would know what he should do.
Because, judging from the combat formation of Chongteng detachment. They should have arrived near Yushan yesterday afternoon. So they stayed here all night without moving, why?
Is it because the firepower is not enough?
But Danwu had already found the artillery position of Chongteng detachment.
And the Yushan position showed no signs of being attacked by artillery fire.
Therefore, the Chongteng detachment should be waiting for something.
Either they were waiting for the order to go up to the peak, or they were waiting for news about the 174th Division.
Combined with the last few words left by Japanese spy Colonel Yamamoto, Duanwu concluded that there might be some problem with the 174th Division, and it was a very serious problem.
Therefore, he has to change his tactics. Personally take the people to the 174th Division.
Dragon Boat Festival first ordered Zhou Dabang to send sharpshooters to block the road between the 174th Division and Chongteng Detachment. Then Zhu Shengzhong was asked to lead people to continue investigating the enemy's situation.
And he returned two miles away and found Sun Shiyu, Wei Yong, Lao Shou, Xu Dazhuang, and Sun Bo'an.
Dragon Boat Festival ordered Sun Shiyu, Wei Yong, Lao Shou, and Xu Dazhuang to take their troops to stand by, while he led Sun Boan's 79th Brigade directly to the 174th Division's position.
He wanted to intimidate the 174th Division. Even if Zhong Jiushan really wanted to defect, he would still have to weigh whether he had enough money.
So the Dragon Boat Festival and his party marched toward the 174th Division in a mighty manner, frightening the sentries of the 174th Division half to death.
They thought the enemy had touched them and ran back to their positions to report.
The person in charge of the position couldn't see clearly even with a telescope. He boldly shouted outside: "Who are you? Stop quickly, otherwise we will shoot."
"Go and tell your division commander that Duanwu, the colonel commander of the 88th Division Independent Regiment, is here and ask him to greet him personally."
"No, you're not mistaken, are you? You, a regiment commander, want our division commander to come and greet you in person?"
Before Dragon Boat Festival finished speaking, the officers of the 174th Division in the fortifications began to complain.
"What the hell, if I ask you to go, just go. My third brother is the special commissioner. Are you wronging him by asking your division commander to come to greet him?"
Sun Bo'an has the biggest temper. Someone dares to question his third brother. If he wasn't far away, he would have to twist the other person's head off.
This Sun Bo'an is not only physically strong, but also has strength in his hands. He said that if you can unscrew a person's head, you can really unscrew it. If his third brother hadn't been by his side, he would have dared to lead his men to kill him when he got angry.
Now Sun Bo'an definitely has the confidence. Duanwu gave him a full set of Japanese equipment, including artillery bombardment, machine guns, and heavy machine guns. Although his 79th Brigade does not have as many people as before, there are two light machine guns in one squad. There are about twenty mortars of various types. There is also a heavy machine gun company. Grandma, if anyone is dissatisfied now, he will have a fight with him.
But when the officers of the 174th Division saw the other party's driving, they must be doing something bad. He quickly ran to report the matter to Zhong Jiushan.
Zhong Jiushan was looking at his military defense plans with Xie Jinyuan. Zhong Jiushan said something absent-mindedly and answered without a word. However, at this moment, someone came to report: "Reporter, many people came down the mountain, and the leader said he was a special commissioner."
"Special correspondent?"
Zhong Jiushan was surprised and looked at Xie Jinyuan. Because Xie Jinyuan came on behalf of the special commissioner. And at this time, why did the special correspondent come again?
Of course, he would never have imagined that the Dragon Boat Festival would always be at the foot of his mountain. Just didn't show up.
But Xie Jinyuan knew it, and felt that Tuan Zuo suddenly led people up the mountain. Something must have happened, otherwise Tuan Zuo would not have gone up the mountain with him.
Xie Jinyuan rolled his eyes and said to Zhong Jiushan: "Mr. Zhong, let's go? Let's go to meet the special commissioner together."
Zhong Jiushan was a little hesitant because he heard from his subordinates that the special commissioner brought a lot of people. And he was still considering whether to join the Japanese.
He was very troubled in his heart. Because once the special commissioner is allowed to go up the mountain with these people, it will be difficult for him to defect to the Japanese. In other words, everyone in his family will die.
"What's wrong, Mr. Zhong? Don't you want to invite the special commissioner to go up the mountain?"
Zhong Jiushan's hesitation made Xie Jinyuan see some bad signs. He slowly put his hand on the gun at his waist and coughed lightly.
At this moment, the guards inside and outside the house simultaneously opened the safety of their guns and pointed them at Zhong Jiushan's guards.
Zhong Jiushan was startled at first, and then asked: "Captain Xie, what do you mean?"
Xie Jinyuan smiled and said: "It's not interesting. Please go down the mountain, Master Zhong, to greet the special commissioner. That's all."
"snort!"
Zhong Jiushan snorted coldly, put on his coat, and could only follow Xie Jinyuan down the mountain to greet the Dragon Boat Festival.
Of course, this scene was naturally seen by the traitors lurking in the 174th Division. And there is more than one traitor. All Zhong Jiushan's brigade mutinied. They were waiting to surrender to the enemy with Zhong Jiushan and receive a reward from the Japanese.
However, what he didn't expect was that a special correspondent suddenly appeared. They wanted to stop Zhong Jiushan. But I didn’t have that many people around me. After all, the guards led by Xie Jinyuan were all equipped with German-style equipment, which was very intimidating.
Brigadier Tang Shuhua and staff officer Wang Ye discussed it together. One person went back to assemble the team, and the other person went down the mountain to inform the Japanese that a special commissioner had arrived and asked Major General Shigeto for instructions on what they should do.
So the two men went their separate ways.
At the same time, Xie Jinyuan had already asked Zhong Jiushan to come down the mountain and come to Duanwu.
Duanwu smiled with satisfaction, at least Xie Jinyuan was fine, and Zhong Jiushan was taken into custody.
There was no one else nearby, only Zhong Jiushan, a staff officer, was there.
Duanwu smiled and said: "Mr. Zhong, don't you have anything to tell me?"
Zhong Jiushan pretended to be calm and said: "I don't know what I have to say."
"I won't cry until I see the coffin. I'll make you speak."
Duanwu sneered and ordered Sun Bo'an: "Immediately take over all command of the 174th Division. Anyone who dares to resist will be shot on the spot. Order all officers above the company to go to the headquarters for a meeting. Those who don't go or have excuses will be shot." "
"You, you, what do you mean?"
Zhong Jiushan was angry. Because he is the leader of a division after all.
Duanwu said: "It doesn't mean anything. I am the special commissioner and I am the biggest here. Everyone must obey orders. Of course, you have the right to call your military commander or even the commission. You have this right. But here Before, you have to listen to me. Otherwise, you will be shot on the spot."
Zhong Jiushan said angrily: "I don't believe you have such great power."
Duanwu spread his hands and said nonchalantly: "You can try it."
"··············"
Zhong Jiushan was speechless, thinking: Everything is over. If the Japanese knew that he had no use value, he didn't know what they would do to his family.
He seemed to be discouraged.
But Dragon Boat Festival doesn't care about this, what he wants is chaos. Because only when there is chaos will he have a chance.
And this is also the reason why Duanwu did not make any tactical arrangements before arriving on the battlefield. Because the battlefield is changing rapidly, fighting with inherent tactics, once there is a problem in one of the links, all the previously formulated tactics will only give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it.
But what the Chinese army likes most when fighting a war is this kind of operation. They find foreigners and military consultants to formulate a complete battle plan. The battle has not yet begun, but they have already played out the outcome on the sand table.
But when the fight actually started, it was discovered that if there was a problem with the plan they had made before, it would be to kill his enemy.
Therefore, since the victory of the National Revolution, the national army has been defeated and fought repeatedly, showing great perseverance. And he doesn’t even know it.
But what about the Dragon Boat Festival! If you just avoid this vicious circle, you can often win unexpectedly. His tactics will not be formulated before the battle, but he will decide what tactics to use when he sees his enemy.
Of course, what is essential is information. But what the Dragon Boat Festival lacks most is information.
He roughly knew the direction of attack of each Japanese unit and its approximate number. Then use this to formulate tactics that work every time.
For example, this time, he found that there was no opportunity to take advantage of the Chongteng detachment's defense, and got the word "Yushan" information from Yamamoto Colonel. From this analysis, it was analyzed that there was most likely an internal problem within the 174th Division.
So he came with the 79th Brigade. He wanted the 174th Division's position to cause problems first. Watch how the Chongteng detachment moves, and then formulate tactics.
Of course, Dragon Boat Festival's current action can be regarded as a tactic. He can call it knocking the mountain to shock the tiger, or it can be called striking the grass and frightening the snake. Anyway, he had to get the enemy moving and then look for a fighter.
Dragon Boat Festival escorted Master Zhong, and Sun Boan quickly took over the position with his men.
The soldiers of the 174th Division looked panicked. After all, so many people rushed up the mountain at once, and they didn't know what happened. Moreover, all officers above the company level were invited to the headquarters for a combat meeting.
Of course, there were those who didn't want to go, but they had a gun put to their head. Either go to the meeting or die. It's that simple.
No officer wanted to die, including Brigadier Tang and the thirty or so officers under his command.
There were so many people that the Dragon Boat Festival brought everyone to the open space behind the mountain. There were Dragon Boat Festival guards all around. They were all loaded with guns and ammunition, and all the safety guards on their guns were turned on. Some of the officers were so frightened that they actually felt a cramp in their calves.
Many people didn't know what was going on. Suddenly the position was taken over and all the officers were escorted to the open space on the back mountain.
At this time, Dragon Boat Festival stood on a high place and said loudly: "Don't be afraid, everyone. I came to you just to examine each of you. We have received exact information. Some of you have defected to the Japanese."
"You're talking nonsense. What evidence do you have to prove that some of us have defected to the Japanese?"
Brigadier Tang was the first to stand up.
He had two purposes at this time. The first purpose is to use this method to confuse the public. Because he was the one who first surrendered to the Japanese. Otherwise, how could Zhong Jiushan's family be captured by the Japanese?
The second purpose is to arouse the dissatisfaction of other officers. The 174th Division is the Gui Army. The Gui army has always been known for its bravery, although there are inevitably some scum among them. But most of the Gui troops fought very bravely. In the battle against Japan, the Gui army suffered relatively heavy casualties.
Therefore, Brigadier Tang wanted to take advantage of this to make all the Gui Army officers dissatisfied with the special commissioner, so that he could escape unscathed.
And his words really had an effect. More than sixty officers of the 174th Division collectively protested against their censorship during the Dragon Boat Festival! ...
