Age of Rebirth

Chapter 420 Eight Abe Three's Plan

Seeing that August [-]th was getting closer and closer, the Japanese Marine Corps continued to send more troops to the Hongkou and Yangshupu areas, while the troops of the three divisions mobilized by Generalissimo Jiang were slowly gathering, and some were still on the move. On the way to the rendezvous, Tang Qiuli was in a state of dismay. He called Generalissimo Jiang again and asked for permission to allow two brigades of the vanguard of the Sulu Mobile Corps of the Independent Division and an air defense brigade to enter the urban area of ​​Shanghai in advance, as the fate of the police force.

For some unknown reason, Generalissimo Jiang did not agree to his request, but only told him that regarding the situation in the Songhu area, the Military Commission had already considered the situation comprehensively, and that reinforcements from Shanghai would arrive as soon as possible. We are starting to rectify the existing armed forces in the city, so don't be distracted by Qiu Li.

This made Tang Qiuli very depressed. He didn't know where the story came out. What made him a little relieved was that General Zhang Zhizhong had arrived in Shanghai, replaced Yang Hu, and started to reorganize the army. With General Zhang here, Shanghai would not be very happy It is about to fall, and the old man's attitude is not to worry about him. In order to avoid two-front warfare and keep the Japanese out of Shanghai, it is only an urgent problem that needs to be solved. , secretly sneak into the urban area of ​​Shanghai, familiarize yourself with the terrain as soon as possible, and seize the key points.

At the same time, in his own name, he sent a telegram to General Zhang Zhizhong, stating that he had sent a brigade of troops to sneak into the urban area of ​​Shanghai secretly. At that time, it could be dispatched by General Zhang. The implication was that this brigade was sent in by Tang Qiuli without any order. [

Of course, General Zhang Zhizhong didn't mind, on the contrary, he was very happy. The three divisions under his command were still on the way to Shanghai. He could only swallow his saliva, but couldn't solve the immediate problem. Moreover, it is Vice Chairman Tang's army, a well-known military force with strong combat effectiveness, he will not be so stupid as to expose this matter to the old man, so he just took over the command of the independent division's fast-reverse brigade The power, and the secret assignment of tasks, can be regarded as a tacit understanding between him and Tang Qiuli.

Shanghai has a quick-response brigade who is familiar with urban warfare, and Tang Qiuli is more confident. He really doesn't want the flames of war to reignite in Shanghai, but this matter is beyond his control. It's good to be crazy.

Tang Qiuli aimed at the layout of the Japanese army Chen Bing in the Pingjin area. When the Japanese army launched a large-scale offensive, Tang Qiuli planned to launch a large-scale offensive in Yangyuan, Yuxian, and Laiyuan in western Hebei, and Xingtang, Shijiazhuang, Baoding, Hengshui, and Cangzhou in southern Hebei. A battle with the Japanese army frustrated the momentum of the Japanese army's offensive and disrupted the rapid deployment of the Japanese army. Then the whole army retreated to the Taihang Mountains, the south bank of the Yellow River, and Shanxi.

To this end, he ordered the Sun Zhenbang Department of the Yellow River Defense Command of the Independent Division, the Eighth Army of the Tang Enbo Department of the Henan Yellow River Defense Line of the Central Army, the Su Jingfeng Department of the Yellow River Henan Defense Corps, and the Liu Tiehan Department of the Northeast Advance Command stationed in Shandong to immediately enter a special state of combat readiness. , All troops entered the fortifications, preparing to face a large-scale attack by the Japanese army.

Regarding Tang Enbo's troops, he especially emphasized: "Commander Tang, the Yellow River is the barrier to the south of the Yangtze River. If there is any loss, the door of the Central Plains will be opened. The Japanese army can drive in and go straight to the important places in the south of the Yangtze River. You and I are both sinners of the nation. Hope Tang The regiment commander must be careful!" Tang Qiuli was really worried about Tang Enbo, so he patiently sent him a telegram alone, and at the same time, he deliberately asked the communication office to send his telegram to Tang Enbo, so that Nanjing could receive it.

Then, he mobilized his troops, entered the preset position according to the deployment, and waited quietly for the Japanese army to launch a large-scale offensive.

On the evening of August [-]th, he was in the headquarters, working with some staff to refine the battle plan. Yu Deshui, the director of the Intelligence Department of the Independent Division, ran in nervously and handed him a telegram.

Tang Qiuli felt dizzy after reading the telegram, and his heart twitched violently. This is a senior agent who broke into the headquarters of the Japanese North China Dispatch Army as an interpreter. He risked his life and exposed his identity to activate the top-secret communication channel. Telegram to Intelligence Headquarters.

"The Intelligence Headquarters was shocked to learn that Abe San, the head of the Japanese spy system "Bamboo", had planned a top-secret operation against Mr. Tang. He wanted to hunt down Mr. Tang's parents and immediate family members throughout the Northeast. In addition, the Japanese secret service in Shanghai The "Chrysanthemum" agency also plans to take action against Mr. Tang's father-in-law's family. The specific action plan is unknown, and the head of the "Bamboo" agency, Abezo, will leave for the northeast this afternoon to fully preside over the matter, Lei Huo." This is his statement. code name.

Tang Qiu's heart was in a mess. When he was at Mei Ting's house in Moling, he thought about this problem and arranged for Shanhu to deal with it. But then he dealt with the Shaanxi Mutiny, reorganized the army, and then went to war with the Japanese. This matter I just let it go, I didn't expect that my premonition became a reality, Abe-san is really vicious.

Abe-san came to China in the 20s, used business as a cover, and engaged in spy work. He has been in China for many years and is very familiar with Chinese culture, customs, geography and people. In his opinion, Tang Qiuli's oath and imperial army Apart from physically destroying the diehards who fight to the end, there is really no suitable way to make him succumb.

After receiving the order from Prince Xianyuan Gong Zairen, he pondered for several days, and then dispatched the Intelligence Department of the North China Army and the Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army to borrow a large amount of information about the Independent Division. The contents of the two intelligence agencies are somewhat similar. The information that caught his attention was the rumor about the origin of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Bloody Hand Regiment, the predecessor of the Independent Division.

Following the analysis of this line of thinking, the current North China Independent Division, the former Blood Hand Regiment, their senior commanders and key members are all Manchurians of origin, that is to say, they were born in Manchuria, so their parents and relatives, wouldn’t they Are they all in Manchuria?

If Tang Qiuli and the parents and relatives of his key members are controlled, what should Tang Qiuli do?Even if he had no family ties, and disregarded the lives of his parents and relatives, killing his parents and relatives in various cruel ways would be a fatal blow to Tang Qiuli and the key members of his subordinates. Wouldn't it be very powerful for the imperial army of the Imperial Japanese Empire to take any risky actions, and it is not impossible for the North China China Army to be defeated as a result.

Abe Mitsukoshi also felt that this plan was feasible. Manchuria was under the empire of Japan. It was not easy to catch clues from so many people. He thought he was a genius. After reporting to Zai Ren, Zai Ren praised him greatly. I was so excited that I rubbed my hands together, because of this matter, that China devil Tang Qiuli went crazy, or committed suicide, that would be wonderful!

He immediately urged Abe to go to the Northeast, take full charge of the plan, grant him the status of special envoy of the General Staff Headquarters, and as the chief of the general staff of the base camp, he ordered the Kwantung Army to fully cooperate with Abe's actions, and he wanted people to send out people and guns out. In a word, in order to capture Tang Qiuli's parents and relatives, he would not hesitate to turn Manchuria upside down.

Abe-san's plan is simple but practical. He wants to conduct a thorough population registration throughout the Northeast, not letting any villages go unnoticed. At the same time, huge bounties were issued to those who provided clues. The imperial army not only rewarded Dayang with 10 yuan, but also sent him to live in Japan, became a Japanese citizen, and directly became a citizen of the Great Japanese Empire.

Abe-san's plan directly hit Tang Qiuli's vitals. As the name suggests, most of Tang's nest shops are named after Tang. Didn't the 57 people who followed him into the mountain leave home collectively? Tang Qiuli was in a mess. He didn't dare to imagine the consequences of his parents and relatives falling into the hands of the Japanese, so he succumbed because of this. For the sake of his parents' lives, he couldn't do it.

What's more, that may not be able to save their lives. He knows exactly what the Japanese are. With the more than 30 Japanese who were wiped out in his own hands, plus the 10,000+ Kwantung Army in the Northeast, these beasts I will not let myself go. [

The so-called "loyalty and filial piety can't be both", he can't do it, because of his own reasons, the lives of his parents were poisoned, even if all the Japanese were killed, this pain , It will be deeply branded in the depths of his soul, tormenting him for the rest of his life, just that kind of guilt and self-blame can drive him crazy.

This seems to be very popular in later generations, but it is an absurd and cruel proposition. Your wife and mother fell into the unfathomable river at the same time. The tools in your hand can only save one person, and you will save them first. who?When I saw it before, Tang Qiuli laughed it off, thinking it was pure chatter, but now, this proposition is staged in another version, what should he do?

Tang Qiuli was at a loss, and Shen Jun, the head of the six gods and the investigation department, was always by the teacher's side. He took the telegram, studied it carefully for a while, and said to Tang Qiuli: "Master, the matter is not that bad. As soon as Abe was about to take action, we rushed ahead of the Japanese and rescued the family, and the problem was solved."

The so-called "concern leads to chaos", Tang Qiuli was reminded that what he thought of was the scene of his parents falling into the hands of the Japanese. The key now is to seize the time, to get ahead of the Japanese, and to get his parents and partners parents and relatives were rescued.

He immediately sent a telegram to Tang Qiuquan, the head of the special warfare detachment, to lead the fourth and fifth special warfare teams still active in the Jinzhou area, and to strengthen the division commander's special guard, and immediately rush back to Tang's nest shop, regardless of the price and what method to use , but also to bring all relatives out safely, especially Xiaoling's parents.

At the same time, he wrote a long letter to his parents, explaining the reasons for the evacuation in detail. It is most suitable for Qiu Quan to do such an extremely dangerous and complicated matter. How difficult is it for someone who has lived in the Tang's nest shop to leave his hometown?

Tang Qiuli reminded Wanwan that after sending Brother Qiuquan off, he was still in a state of confusion. I hope Brother Qiuquan can get ahead of Abe-san, and I hope that the relatives of the Tang family's nest shop can be safe. Abe-san, a bastard, must find a chance to kill him.
