I am God of War in Snow Leopard

Chapter 108: Tiger Camp, Takeshita Jun’s cruelty (5400 words)
Wujiang County, the temporary headquarters of the Third Battalion.

After the clear message was sent, Xu Qingfeng began to instruct Liu Bohui to use the radio to try to monitor and intercept Japanese military telegrams.

In fact, anyone can receive the radio waves of the radio station, but without a dedicated frequency and the corresponding codebook, it is difficult to know the content of the telegram.

Therefore, it needs to be deciphered.

Those who can decipher the other party's radio station are top-notch talents.

In any country, any army is an absolute treasure.

Liu Bohui obviously didn't have these abilities, even with Xu Qingfeng, the all-round soldier king, pointing out from the side, it would be difficult to see immediate results.

Just as they were busy trying to detect, there was a sudden sound of footsteps.

Xu Qingfeng turned around and saw Yu Tianzhao, the deputy platoon leader of the guard platoon who had stayed at the battalion headquarters, walking quickly from outside. He stood at attention and saluted: "Report to the battalion commander, a guy who claims to be from the Lixingshe Secret Service wants to see him. Will you see me or not?"

"From the Secret Service?" Because it was in the Sixing Warehouse, the Secret Service, the predecessor of the military command, sent supplies to himself.

Xu Qingfeng is no stranger to them, nor does he feel disgusted, at least not now.

After all, during the Anti-Japanese War, Juntong still resolutely resisted Japan.

"Did you say what's the matter?" Xu Qingfeng asked.

"No, just say it is a very important matter." Yu Tianzhao replied.

"Bring people in." Xu Qingfeng waved his hand to signal.

"Yes!" Yu Tianzhao gave a military salute, turned around and walked out immediately.

After a while, he left and came back, bringing in a middle-aged man wearing a long coat and a black round felt hat.

Yu Tianzhao was still very vigilant. He stood next to the middle-aged man, his right hand resting on the handle of the Mauser pistol at his waist, and he stared at the middle-aged man intently.

As long as the middle-aged man dares to make any move, he will immediately draw his gun.

After the middle-aged man came in, Xu Qingfeng was looking at him, and meeting Xu Qingfeng's gaze, he also looked Xu Qingfeng up and down.

Then he took the initiative to ask: "This should be Xu Qingfeng, Mr. Xu?"

"That's right, I'm here, are you from the Secret Service?" Xu Qingfeng asked with narrowed eyes.

The middle-aged man stood up and saluted immediately: "Yes, sir, Wang Changgui of the Wujiang Office of the Low-ranking Secret Service, has heard of the reputation of Chief Xu for a long time. Seeing you today will be a life-long comfort!"

"Oh." Xu Qingfeng nodded and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Wang Changgui quickly reached into his arms to take it out. His move immediately aroused Yu Tianzhao's alertness.

"Don't move?" Yu Tianzhao immediately pulled out his pistol, pointed it at him and shouted loudly: "What are you doing?"

Wang Changgui had no choice but to stop what he was doing, smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother, don't be nervous, I just received a secret order from Shangfeng.

I'm here to send commendation orders and letters of appointment to Chief Xu and your ministry. "

As he said that, in front of Yu Tianzhao and Xu Qingfeng, he first took out a certificate, handed it to Xu Qingfeng and said, "This is a certificate for a humble job."

After Xu Qingfeng finished reading it, he asked in puzzlement, "What commendation order and letter of appointment?"

At this time, Wang Changgui had already taken out a document from his body, and replied with a smile: "

"Sir, according to the latest appointment from your superiors, in view of the fact that you led your troops to kill the commander of the Sixth Division Lieutenant General Tani Hisao and recover Wujiang County.

The Ministry of Military and Political Affairs decided to promote Mr. Xu to the rank of lieutenant colonel, and temporarily reorganized your department as the Huben Camp of the National Revolutionary Army, and transferred it directly under the Nanjing Garrison Command.

Commander of the Huben Battalion, Mr. Xu is still in charge of you! "

After speaking, he handed the document in his hand to Xu Qingfeng.

He smiled respectfully and said, "It is said that your promotion and the designation of Huben Camp were decided by the commissioner himself.

This is really gratifying for Chief Xu and the officers and soldiers of your ministry! "

Xu Qingfeng took the telegram calmly, and read it at a glance.

Asked: "Then why is this letter of appointment sent by someone from your Secret Service?"

"Oh, it's like this sir, the good news from your ministry was sent out in plain code.

Nanjing has no way to contact you directly, so we can only ask our Secret Service to convey it on your behalf.

When I first started my job, I didn’t know which army you were from, and because of my professional nature, I didn’t show up.

After receiving the order from Shangfeng, I realized that it was Chief Xu who led his troops to recover Wujiang County. "

After Wang Changgui finished speaking, he took out a small notebook from his trousers pocket, handed it to Xu Qingfeng and said, "By the way, sir, this is a codebook.

With this, you can directly communicate with the Nanjing Garrison Command and command organizations at all levels. "

Xu Qingfeng took the codebook, looked at it, and threw it directly to the communication platoon leader Liu Bohui.

Said: "Thank you, Director Wang."

Wang Changgui rubbed his hands flattered and said: "Mr. Xu, you are being polite. We are both soldiers of the party and the country. We are loyal to the party and the country. It's a matter of duty."

"This time, Shangfeng gave the humble order. From now on, all my colleagues in the Wujiang Office of the Secret Service will do their best to assist Chief Xu and your ministry in resisting the Japanese invaders.

So, if Mr. Xu needs us to do anything, just ask. "

Xu Qingfeng nodded and said: "Your Secret Service's intentions, I understand it, but we don't have any difficulties at present.

If there is, I will definitely not be polite. "

"That's good, that's good." Wang Changgui nodded repeatedly with a smile, and said, "Then, if Chief Xu has no other orders, I will take my leave first."

"Yes." Xu Qingfeng nodded and said, "I still have military affairs to attend to, so I won't send you off."

After finishing speaking, Xu Qingfeng ordered Yu Tianzhao, deputy platoon leader of the security platoon, "Deputy platoon leader Yu, send Director Wang off for me."

"Yes!" Yu Tianzhao agreed with a bang, and immediately said to Wang Changgui, "Director Wang, please."

Wang Changgui saluted Xu Qingfeng from the bottom of his heart, as a token of respect: "Take care, sir, and leave my humble post."

Then, he followed Yu Tianzhao and left the headquarters.

After Wang Changgui left, Xu Qingfeng told Liang Shan: "Deputy Battalion Commander Liang, please call immediately and notify each company and platoon of the new unit number. The personnel of each company and platoon will remain unchanged."

Prior to this, the communication platoon had already laid telephone lines to each company.

Now that Xu Qingfeng was commanding the troops, he no longer had to rely on messengers to proceed on foot.

Not only would it be inefficient, but it would also be a waste of our own limited troops.

With the telephone, he can command the companies at any time, and get timely feedback on the changes in the battle situation in all directions, so as to make the most favorable and timely response.

This is also the reason why in some battles, many communication soldiers tried their best to connect the telephone lines that were blown up by the enemy.

"Yes!" Liang Shan responded, and immediately walked to the phone, and started calling to convey Xu Qingfeng's order.

However, soon he turned his head nervously and reported to Xu Qingfenghui who was smoking a cigarette: "The Battalion Commander and the Eighth Company Commander reported that a large number of Japanese troops were found in the south of the city. It should be reinforcements from the devils."

As soon as Liang Shan's words fell, before Xu Qingfeng had time to respond, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside.

Several people followed the sound and looked.

I saw Ninth Company Commander Sun Kui running in a hurry from outside.

"Company Commander Sun, if you're not taking command at Ximen, why are you here at the camp headquarters?" Xu Qingfeng asked in confusion.

Sun Kui said breathlessly: "Battal Commander, the phone at the battalion headquarters always fails to get through. I thought there was something wrong with the phone line, so I sent someone to check the line."

Xu Qingfeng said: "Speaking of the main point, did the devils increase their troops?"

Sun Kui was a little surprised and said, "Yes, Battalion Commander, how did you know?"

Xu Qingfeng said: "The Eighth Company reported that a large number of devils appeared in the south of the city. If you rushed here in such a hurry, it is likely that the devils outside the west gate have received reinforcements."

Sun Kui nodded and said: "That's right, there is probably another brigade of devils coming from Ximen's side, and I think they will attack soon.

We have to be prepared. "

"Yes." Xu Qingfeng nodded and said, "You came just in time. You will bring some grenades back later. Staff Officer Liang just discovered a large amount of supplies from the Japanese warehouse.

Among them, there are 600 grenades in total, and you can take 300 of them. "

"That's great, brothers really don't have many grenades." Sun Kui was overjoyed when he heard that.

The attack on Wujiang County and the ambush of the Pingchuan Brigade resulted in certain captures, but they also consumed a lot of money.

Although there is no shortage of ammunition, throwing weapons such as grenades are not so sufficient.

Now Xu Qingfeng has given him 300 pills at once, which is almost enough for each of the Ninth Company bombardiers to have two pills. How can he be unhappy?

So, after saluting Xu Qingfeng, he turned around and took the order to leave.

There are two reasons why Xu Qingfeng gave Sun Kui half of the grenade at once.

First, the Ninth Company is the old army he started from. It is also the company with the strongest combat effectiveness in the Huben Battalion and the company that is absolutely loyal to him.

The second, and the most important reason, is that Ximen has an open terrain, which is bound to be the main direction of the Japanese army's attack.

To bear the defensive pressure, it must be higher than the other companies.

Therefore, it makes sense to give them more grenades.

……

In the south of the city, the large number of Japanese troops discovered by the Eighth Company were none other than others.

It was Riichiro Katayama, Takamori Takamori and others who led the main force of the pursuit force consisting of the main force of the 5th Brigade and the 6th Infantry Regiment of the 13th Division.

After leading his troops to the south of the city, he saw that the defenders on the top of the city were on guard.

Riichiro Katayama, who didn't understand the situation, didn't rashly order the attack.

Instead, the troops were ordered to stop, stationed on the spot about two kilometers away from the south gate, and build an offensive position.

At the same time, he also used the radio to contact Takeshita Jun's headquarters outside the west gate and asked him to come to a meeting to report the situation as soon as possible.

At that time, Takeshita Jun was conducting field reconnaissance outside the north gate with a small entourage.

Suddenly a cavalry signal soldier came from behind them on horseback.

Seeing this, Takeshita Shun reined in his horse and stopped. He waited until the other party galloped up to him, then asked, "What's the matter?"

The signal soldier who came to inform him was a warrant officer.

Facing Jun Takeshita, who was several ranks higher than him, he showed absolute respect.

After reining in the horse and stopping, he quickly got off the horse, stood at attention respectfully and saluted Toshi Takeshita, and said, "Report sir, General Katayama and the others have arrived, and I will let you go to the meeting."

Upon hearing this, Takeshita Jun nodded and said: "I understand, let's go now."

After saying that, he took the lead in beating the horse back. Seeing this, several of the accompanying Japanese soldiers also quickly turned their horses' heads and followed him in the direction they came from.

When Takeshita Jun rushed to the south gate via the west gate, chasing and suppressing the troops' positions.

Katayama Riichiro's brigade staff has set up a temporary headquarters in a small forest.

The commander of the 5th Brigade, Ichiro Katayama, the commander of the 68th Infantry Regiment, Takamori Takamori, the commander of the 6th Infantry Regiment of the 13th Division, Okamoto Yasuyuki, and a group of officers and combat staff all gathered together.

Takeshita Shun was the last one to enter the headquarters tent, so as soon as he arrived, he took the initiative to salute Katayama Riichiro and several other officers with higher ranks than himself: "General, sirs, I'm sorry that I came late for my humble duty."

Riichiro Katayama still relied heavily on him, he waved his hand and said: "Takeshita-san, don't be cautious, we have just built the headquarters.

By the way, what's the situation in the city now? "

Takeshita Jun quickly replied with a little shame: "Reporting to the general, I once organized an attack, but I'm sorry, it failed.

The resistance of the defenders was very tenacious, and through this battle, I found that their strength seemed to have recovered!

This should be related to the fact that they captured a large amount of weapons and equipment from the imperial army after the previous battles. "

Katayama Riichiro's expression darkened after hearing this, and he said, "So, there are signs of a revival in Xu Qingfeng's department."

Takeshita Jun nodded truthfully and said: "Yes, General, Xu Qingfeng is very good at using troops, once he is given a chance to breathe, he will quickly recover from the ashes.

Therefore, this time we must concentrate our efforts and completely annihilate them all.

Never let it escape again! "

"Takeshita-kun, you came earlier, and you should know more about the enemy and us here than we do.

Hurry up and introduce it to everyone, and tell us your opinion by the way. "

Riichiro Katayama, who was not in a good mood, directly cut to the point, pointing to Takeshita Shun as a gesture.

"General, because our troops arrived in time, Xu Qingfeng's troops were restrained.

As a result, they failed to evacuate Wujiang in time, and now our army is encircled.

From the point of view of terrain, the northwest of Wujiang is Taihu Lake, after the imperial army has formed a three-sided encirclement of Taihu Lake.

For Xu Qingfeng's troops in the city, the only way out was Taihu Lake. "

"You mean, Xu Qingfeng's troops will escape through the Taihu Waterway?" Colonel Okamoto Yasuyuki, captain of the 13th Regiment standing on the left side of Riichiro Katayama, couldn't help but say before Takeshita Shun finished.

Takeshita Toshi nodded and said: "Yes, Commander, before I came here, I did a field investigation, and there are two rivers outside the north gate of Wujiang that lead to Taihu Lake.

If you take these two waterways, you can reach Taihu Lake directly. "

Captain Takamori Takamori of the 68th Regiment: "Can it be said that Xu Qingfeng and the others will repeat their old trick of evacuating by diving? Do they still have that much diving equipment?"

Jun Takeshita shook his head and said: "When they escaped from the Sixing Warehouse before, they were backed by the British and American Concessions, so they had channels and channels to obtain support in this regard.

Now in Wujiang, no one can provide them with diving equipment. "

After a pause, Takeshita Jun continued: "Therefore, even if they evacuate by water, they will not be able to go underwater again.

Instead, there is a high probability that they will take a boat and walk on the water. "

"That's easy, we'll just send troops to block these two rivers." Takamori said filially.

Takeshita Jun nodded and said, "That's what I mean too, but if you want to be safe, you still have to ask the navy to send a group of small ships.

Help us seal off the waters on the south bank of Taihu Lake, so that Xu Qingfeng's troops will really be unable to escape! "

Riichiro Katayama was convinced when he heard this, but in the blink of an eye he couldn't help but frown and said: "But, those bastards in the Navy have always been very different from our Army.

If you want them to come over for reinforcements, I'm afraid I'll have to give an order from General Matsui, and whether they can arrive in time remains to be seen. "

Takeshita Toshi said: "In that case, then I suggest that you first send troops to block the two rivers outside the north gate.

Let's cut off the defenders' escape route by taking these two rivers first. "

"Yosei, that makes sense." Riichiro Katayama immediately said to Yasuyuki Okamoto, the captain of the 13th Regiment: "Okamoto-kun, your troops are well-equipped and well-equipped.

The task of blocking the north and east gates of Wujiang is left to you. "

Okamoto reported the news and immediately ordered his leader: "Hai, please rest assured, General Katayama. I will fulfill my humble duty and will never give Xu Qingfeng any opportunity to take advantage of me."

After finishing speaking, the old devil saluted Ichiro Katayama, and then strode out with his adjutants and staff officers with his saber in his hand.

Katayama Riichiro said to Takeshita Jun again: "Takeshita-kun, how many people are there in your special task force? Is the strength sufficient?"

Takeshita Shun quickly replied: “The previous attack resulted in more than 200 casualties, but the strength is still there.

Moreover, just before Beizhi came over, an infantry brigade sent by the 18th Division for reinforcements had arrived.

Our two troops combined have more than 1000 troops, enough to block the west gate of Wujiang. "

Riichiro Katayama listened and nodded slightly: "Yo Xi, it's very good."

"Since this is the case, Mr. Takamori and I will lead the 68th Wing and the rest of the 6th Wing to block the south gate of Wu."

"The general is wise!" Takeshita Shun flattered without leaving any trace.

"Then, how do you think we should attack to take down Wujiang County in the shortest possible time and wipe out Xu Qingfeng's troops?" Riichiro Katayama asked again.

Jun Takeshita said unceremoniously: "General, judging from the situation of the task force battling them in Ximen.

Xu Qingfeng's unit has been strengthened in terms of personnel and equipment.

Moreover, they guarded the city and waited for work with leisure.

If we insist on attacking by force, it will probably take three to five days at the earliest to capture it, and the casualties of the imperial army will definitely be considerable.

After all, Xu Qingfeng and his army's combat effectiveness and will to resist had already been demonstrated in the Sixing Warehouse. "

Riichiro Katayama and Takamori Takamori nodded repeatedly without interrupting, apparently waiting for Takeshita Toshi's countermeasure.

Jun Takeshita did not disappoint them either, he paused, and continued: "Just now what the humble officer said was to attack with our strength.

However, the current Wujiang County is not the previous Sixing Warehouse.

In the use of heavy firepower and naval and air force, we have no shackles, and we can completely let go of our hands and feet and give full play to our advantages in firepower.

After giving the Chinese defenders a lot of damage first, and then attacking, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort! "

"How to operate it specifically?" Takashi Takamori asked, still unsure of what to do.

"First, concentrate all our artillery fire on Wujiang County.

Second, call in land-based aviation or sea-based aviation to give us air fire support.

The combination of ground and air firepower razed Wujiang County to the ground. The defenders in the city had just occupied this place and had not had time to reinforce and build fortifications.

Once it is hit by the joint ground-air firepower of the imperial army, casualties are indispensable.

If the above cannot defeat them and take the county seat, use poison gas bombs to attack! "A trace of evil flashed in Takeshita Jun's eyes.

Although this kid has a good relationship with Zhou Weiguo, it is only limited to private education of personal feelings.

He was not merciful to other Chinese people at all, whether he led a commando to attack Nanjing Guanghua Gate and took the lead in breaking through Nanjing City, leading to the outbreak of the Nanjing Massacre.

Later, he raided the Hutoushan base area and killed Zhou Weiguo's chief of staff and local people. He never showed mercy.

On the contrary, as a professional soldier, he is better at using his own superior equipment and firepower.

Moreover, he has the courage and fierceness to never give up if he fails to achieve his goal.

This is a common phenomenon among Japanese soldiers who have been deeply brainwashed by Bushido spirit, and it is not surprising.
