At the same time, a temporary headquarters has been established in Zhongcun Agency.
Because of the special nature of this military operation, the Japanese military could not directly intervene, so the Ninth Division only mobilized one of the most elite infantry brigade and temporarily placed it under the command of the Nakamura Agency. In order to better complete this mission, the Nakamura Agency A temporary command headquarters was specially formed, with Yingzuo Zhenzhao serving as the commander-in-chief.
Nakamura Shun didn't know what his psychology was, but he completely delegated power to Kage Sasaki.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the infantry brigade participating in the operation had already entered the command position.
As long as it gets dark, the Japanese army will launch this operation codenamed "Rescue".
However, before the operation started, the No. 76 spy lurking in the concession came back with unexpected news. More than a dozen trucks with public concession police license plates drove into the military camp controlled by Gujunying. The truck was blocked, so we didn’t know what supplies were in the truck.
However, judging from the stress on the tires, the weight of the materials loaded on the vehicle should not be light.
Yingzuo Zhenzhao's brows suddenly furrowed and he asked in a deep voice: "Did you see clearly? Are you sure the license plate number on the truck is the Public Concession Police Department?"
"This..." Ryota Kawamoto also hesitated when he heard this.
If it was the spy agent arranged by the Nakamura agency, Kawamoto Ryota would definitely answer, but this time it was the spy agent of No. 76 who discovered this situation. Kawamoto Ryota was not sure of the answer, "Jisi Phil No. 76" The personnel were mixed, and Ryota Kawamoto did not dare to guarantee that their intelligence would be correct.
While they were talking, the guard came in and reported that Dingmo Village had arrived.
Yingzuo Zhenzhao happened to have something to ask the two of them, and immediately asked the guards to take Li Shiqun into his office.
A moment later, Li Shiqun entered Yingzuo Zhenzhao's office and quickly nodded and bowed to say hello.
Yingzuo Zhenzhao waved his hand and asked: "Li Sang, are you sure that the dozen or so trucks that drove into the Italian military camp all have the number plates of the Public Concession Police Department?"
Li Shiqun quickly said flatteringly: "Sure, I'm sure."
Yingzuo Zhenzhao hummed slightly and asked again: "Then do you know what supplies are in the car?"
Yingzuo Zhenzhao didn't have any expectations at first, but just asked casually, but he didn't expect Li Shiqun to really know. Don't forget that there are people No. 76 in the patrol room of the public concession, and two of the insiders have even become The police sergeant in the patrol room, so Li Shiqun easily figured out what supplies were contained in those dozen trucks.
At that moment, Li Shiqun replied with a flattering face: "Your Excellency, Colonel, according to our insider report on the 76th, those dozen trucks are all loaded with guns, ammunition and ammunition."
"Firearms and ammunition?" Yingzuo Zhenzhao's face suddenly darkened.
This is an absolutely unexpected new situation. The Public Settlement Police Department actually provided guns and ammunition to the Gujun Camp? !
Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. The Solitary Army Battalion completely annihilated the Royal Gurkha Infantry Battalion and captured so many British expatriates as hostages. The British should regard the Solitary Army Battalion as enemies. How could they react against it? Come over and deliver more than a dozen trucks of guns and ammunition to the Lone Army Camp? This is completely illogical.
Although he didn't understand, Yingzuo Zhenzhao had no intention of giving up the action.
The rescue operation is already on the line. If he stops at this time, he will not only live up to Chief Nakamura's expectations of him, but also make the base camp judge him as incompetent. If he really lets the "incompetent" evaluation fall on him, If so, then he, Yingzuo Zhenzhao, should no longer think about any future prospects in the military.
Furthermore, Yingzuo Zhenzhao didn't think that a dozen trucks of guns and ammunition could change the balance of power between the two sides. There were only 400 people in the solitary army camp. Even if some National Army veterans gathered in the past two days, the total would not be enough. Meet five hundred people, just five hundred people, even if they are fully armed, they are no match for the Japanese army.
You must know that the Japanese army participated in the rescue operation. In addition to the two special agent brigade of No. 76, there was also an infantry brigade from the Ninth Division. This was not a garrison, but a front-line force coming down from the front line. , is the elite of the seventeen permanent divisions of the Japanese army, and its combat effectiveness can be described as extremely powerful.
Therefore, Yingzuo Zhenzhao was not worried at all.
Therefore, after being stunned for a moment, Yingzuo Zhenzhao immediately put the matter behind him.
Yingzuo Zhenzhao asked Li Shiqun again: "Li Sang, are everyone on No. 76 ready?"
"Everything is ready." Li Shiqun said with a smile, "There are more than 500 people in the two special agent brigades, and they are all ready."
After saying that, Li Shiqun did not forget to disgust Liang Wuyi in front of Yingzuo Zhenzhao, and said: "Your Excellency, Colonel, why didn't I see anyone from the Peace Promotion Association in the yard just now?"
"Peace Promotion Association?" Yingzuo Zhenzhao frowned immediately.
Originally, Yingzuo Zhenzhao was planning to let people from the Peace Promotion Association participate in this operation. Although the Peace Promotion Association had just been established, it had also assembled a team of two hundred people. However, this guy Liang Wuyi was really outrageous. Tian has been hiding in the Broadway Building, and every night he will send a car to pick up Liu Nina and Niu Mibo, so that he can have fun all night long.
At that moment, Yingzuo Zhenzhao said angrily: "The Peace Promotion Association has just been established and will not participate in this operation for the time being."
Li Shiqun was bored and could only keep his mouth shut, but he was secretly resentful in his heart. Isn't the little devil being too kind to one? Liang Wuyi was so lucky that he had nothing serious to do all day long and just slept with socialites. Then Li Shiqun had to work hard for the Japanese? This kind of goods must be thrown away when compared with goods, and people must die when comparing people!
Yingzuo Zhenzhao raised his wrist to check the time and said to Li Shiqun: "Open the way!"
"Hai." Li Shiqun bowed his waist and said flatteringly, "The one who opens the way works."
(Dividing line)
At the same time, more than forty sharpshooters selected by Xie Yuan have completed their assembly.
"Listen carefully to me." Xie Yuan said as he walked past a queue of more than forty sharpshooters with his hands behind his back, "Your only mission is to snipe and kill the Japanese officers, flag bearers and machine gunners. Remember, shoot After finishing a shot, you must immediately change positions regardless of whether you hit the target or not."
This last sentence was what Xu Rui asked Xie Yuan to say.
Xie Yuan didn't understand why it had to be like this, but he did as he was told.
The more than forty sharpshooters who were singled out also didn't understand why, but this did not prevent them from obeying the orders. The tactical thinking of the soldiers in the lone camp was dull or rigid, but their military literacy was absolutely excellent. As long as they were instilled in them. With advanced tactical concepts, their combat effectiveness will increase exponentially.
"Yes!" The more than forty sharpshooters lined up responded loudly.
"Get out!" Xie Yuan waved his hand, turned around and walked out of the military camp.
More than forty sharpshooters immediately turned around to follow, and within a moment, they disappeared on the street outside.
Digua approached Xu Rui and asked in a low voice: "Commander, why don't we ask the political commissar to transfer all our brothers over to fight alongside the lone army camp?"
Xu Rui shook his head and said: "No, we cannot let our people have too much contact with the Gujun Camp."
It is true that there cannot be too much contact. Xu Rui's idea is to control two troops at the same time, one to fight openly in the open, and the other to cooperate in the dark. This can not only attack the enemy more effectively, but also better protect himself. Then eventually Shanghai Beach became a tomb for Japanese devils.
This unit in the open is the solitary army camp.
The force in the dark is the Peace Promotion Association.
The senior commanders of these two armies, like Xie Yuan and Liu Mei, of course know the inside story, but most of the officers and soldiers below do not. This is not a matter of distrust, but a matter of principle, because a secret is important. If you want to hold on, the most effective way is to have as few people know about it as possible.
Therefore, people from the Peace Promotion Association must not fight side by side with people from the Lone Army Battalion, at least not before the war of resistance in the Songhu area begins.
Digua scratched his head and said worriedly: "Commander, can the lone army camp alone do it?"
Xu Rui grinned and said, "Isn't there a Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion?"
"The Royal Gurkha Infantry Battalion?" Digua said in shock, "Commander, are you serious? Are you really going to let these British guys go and take them to the battlefield?"
Xu Rui said herrily: "Am I kidding?"
"But, but..." Digua thought for a long time and said, "But can these British guys be trusted? They were severely punished by us just two days ago, and even their bullshit brigadier general became our prisoner. Won’t they hold a grudge? If they hold a grudge and then defect on the battlefield, that would be troublesome.”
"Okay, boy, have you learned to use your brain?" Xu Rui touched the sweet potato's head and continued, "However, your worries are unnecessary. The British really can't believe it, but the officers and soldiers of the Royal Gurkha Infantry Battalion, But they are not British, they come from a country called Nepal, and the people of this country have always been known for their loyalty."
What Xu Rui said is indeed true. Not only in this era, but also in the era before Xu Rui traveled through time, Gurkha mercenaries and even Nepalese mercenaries were known for their loyalty. If there were not many outliners in the regiment, Erkha or Nepalese mercenaries, you are embarrassed to call yourself a large international mercenary group.
Therefore, Xu Rui has no worries about the loyalty of the Royal Gurkha Infantry Battalion.
Xu Rui's only worry is the loyalty of Ferguson and all the officers above the company. Because the officers above the company are all British, so before fighting side by side with the Royal Gurkha Infantry Battalion, he has to do one thing first, and that is to In the Royal Gurkha Infantry Battalion, all officers above the company level were dismissed.
When Xu Rui brought sweet potatoes to the backyard of the military camp, the Royal Gurkha Infantry Battalion had already assembled.
Under the dim light, more than 600 Gurkha mercenaries in khaki military uniforms and dozens of British officers in bright red military uniforms looked distinct. However, both Gurkhas The mercenaries and British officers were all empty-handed, and their weapons had not been returned to them.
