Nanjing, Youth Garden.
Nakamura Jun once again fell into a fierce struggle. Central China sent the Condemnation Army Headquarters to urgently transfer the arms stored in Pukou to Wuhu, and then transferred them from Wuhu to Feicheng to supply the Kumamoto Division. This is a new situation, and this situation is very likely It will change the final result of the entire mopping up operation. So, is it necessary to report this situation to Xu Rui
If reported, it will be a high probability event that the Kumamoto Division will be wiped out by the Dameishan Army Regiment.
But if the report is not reported, once the Dameishan Revolutionary Regiment suffers a loss or even is completely destroyed, then Xu Rui will never let him go, and he will definitely make his treasonous recording public. Group, but on one side is the life and death of himself and the entire Nakamura family. Nakamura Jun once again fell into a fierce struggle.
Time passed quietly in the struggle, and soon it was time to get off work late at night.
Nakamura Shun packed up all the documents and was about to return to the officers' club after get off work. However, Kawabe Shozo suddenly walked into the staff office in a hurry. After seeing Nakamura Shun, he said: "Nakamura-san, you are still here, great, it's an emergency! "
After hearing this, Shun Nakamura suddenly became serious and asked urgently: "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, what happened again?"
"I just received a call from Jin Shengsang, saying that Feicheng was attacked by the National Army. At least two divisions of the National Army have surrounded Feixi Town and Feicheng Airport!" Hebian Zhengzo paused at this point, and then Then he said, "Fortunately, this is just the National Army. If it were replaced by the troops of the Dameishan *** Regiment, it would be a big trouble."
Nakamura Jun said solemnly: "Although the combat effectiveness of the National Army is weak, it is still only two divisions strong, and the garrison troops of Feixi Town and Feicheng Airport are only more than 2,000 people at full strength. I am afraid they will inevitably fall over time. And if Feixi Town is lost, the transportation line from Wuhu to Badou Town will be cut off."
"So Feixi Town must not be lost! The transportation line from Wuhu to Badou Town must not be interrupted!" Hebian Zhengsan nodded again and continued, "In order to preserve this transportation line, I decided to mobilize the newly formed The army's ** were mixed into the 13th Brigade and headed north from Wuhu, and they could also protect the munitions."
Jun Nakamura said in astonishment: "The ** are mixed into the 13th Brigade?"
As the area of China occupied by the Japanese army became larger and larger, and the population increased, the dozens of regular divisions of the North China Front Army and the Central China Condemnation Army seemed to be somewhat inadequate, because in the vast occupied area, the Japanese army faced The right enemy is not an organized and heavily armed group, but often a small group of guerrillas.
For such small units, regular divisions are not effective, but small-scale brigades are more effective. Therefore, in the occupied areas of North and Central China, more than a dozen ** mixed brigades were successively organized, and the ** mixed brigades were formed into the 10th The third brigade is such a newly formed military mixed brigade. The soldiers are basically reserve troops recruited from the country, and their combat effectiveness is still acceptable.
This is also the main reason why Hebian Zhengsan did not use several main divisions that were resting in Huainan and Nanjing, but dispatched the ** to form the 13th Brigade, because the combat effectiveness of the ** to form the 13th Brigade is not necessarily as good as The main divisions that had just experienced a long and fierce battle were weak.
Of course, there is another reason that cannot be ignored: limited ammunition.
The arms transferred from Pukou to Feicheng, apart from protecting the Kumamoto Division, there was not much left.
However, although all the soldiers of the 13th Brigade were in place, the brigade commander had not yet arrived, so Nakamura Juncai felt a little strange.
Then, Nakamura Shun's heart moved slightly. Could it be that Kawabe Shozo planned to let him temporarily act as the brigade commander
Sure enough, Kawabe Shozo continued: "However, Ozaki-san, the commander of the 13th brigade, is still serving in the Kwantung Army at this time. I'm afraid he can't take office so soon, so I think, Nakamura-san, you Temporarily acting as the brigade commander of the 13th Brigade, you will rush to Wuhu overnight to take up the post."
"Hai." Nakamura Shun suddenly felt like he was being pardoned and nodded heavily.
Then, Kawabe Shozo bowed deeply to Nakamura Jun and said, "Nakamura-san, please!"
Nakamura Shun quickly followed and bowed, but his heart was extremely heavy. Before, he was still hesitating whether to report the news of the arms transfer to Xu Rui. Now it was even worse. Hebian Shozo directly handed over the task of escorting this batch of arms. He, this is equivalent to leaving the fate of the Kumamoto Division in his hands.
Now it is no exaggeration to say that a small decision by Jun Nakamura can determine the life, death, honor and disgrace of more than 20,000 officers and soldiers of the Kumamoto Division! On one side is the life, death, honor and humiliation of more than 20,000 officers and soldiers of the Kumamoto Division, on the other is the life, death, honor and humiliation of Nakamura Shun himself and the entire Nakamura family. How should he choose
With his heart full of worries, Toshi Nakamura got off work and left Youth Garden.
The adjutant asked if he wanted to go back to the officers' club? But Nakamura Jun frowned and shook his head. The adjutant asked the driver to drive the car in a circle outside Nanjing. It was not until about two o'clock in the morning that he made a big circle around Nanjing and returned to Guanghua Gate. Nakamura Jun finally did it. After making a decision, he ordered the driver to return to the officers' club.
Then, when passing by Wangji Auto Repair Shop, Nakamura Jun got out of the car first with the excuse that the car was too stuffy.
Nakamura Jun stood outside Wangji Auto Repair Shop for about half a minute, smoked half a cigarette, then threw the remaining half cigarette on the ground and crushed it. Then he turned around and got into the car, and drove away in Nakamura Jun's Mercedes-Benz car. After a long distance, the door panel of Wang Ji's repair shop suddenly opened a crack silently, and then a thin figure came out, picked up the remaining half of Nakamura Jun's cigarette from the ground, turned around and hurried back to the repair shop.
(Dividing line)
Soon, the information sent by Jun Nakamura was delivered to Xu Rui's desk.
Along with Nakamura Jun's intelligence, there were several other pieces of intelligence. Xu Rui suddenly discovered that the situation of this counter-sweep operation had become a bit complicated.
In the temporary headquarters, Xu Rui was discussing the response plan with Wang Husheng.
Wang Husheng was originally planning to go back, but in the end he turned back.
"Let's talk about the first thing first." Wang Husheng took out a telegram and put it on the table and said, "Old Liu sent a telegram from home. Regarding the leak of secrets, the Security Department has already found out. The news is that Old Liu's secretary Zhu Zimao It was leaked, and this Zhu Zimao has rebelled and surrendered to the enemy, and now he is the brigade commander of the Feixi ** Brigade of the 32nd Group Army."
Xu Rui snorted coldly and said, "The clown can only dance for a few days."
"Although Zhu Zimao surrendered to the enemy, he surrendered to the National Army, not the Japs, so we will talk about this later, and now let's talk about the second thing." Wang Husheng said, "The Osaka Division's attack on the remaining positions of Qingniuling was extremely "It's so fierce. The special agents of the Central Jiangsu Military Region can't stand it any longer. He Shuya sent a telegram asking for instructions. Is it necessary to return to Meixian to aid?"
"No." Xu Rui flatly refused, "The Third Regiment must not return for reinforcements. They must be nailed to the front line of Pu County."
"Old Xu." Wang Husheng said in shock, "Tell me honestly, are you attracted to the Japanese tank regiment?"
"That's right, I just have my eye on the Japanese tank regiment." Xu Rui said, "Old Wang, this is an entire tank regiment, with more than seventy tanks! If our Dameishan Military Division completely takes over the Japanese This tank regiment, hey, our combat effectiveness is incredible! In the future, if the Japanese want to raid, they will have to weigh it carefully."
Wang Husheng said: "But there is no contradiction between the three regiments returning for reinforcements and the chariot unit capturing the Japanese?"
"How come it's not contradictory?" Xu Rui shook his head and said, "Once the Third Regiment returns to support, the Osaka Division will immediately give up. When the time comes, the Osaka Division will turn around and run away, and we will be trapped here again. What can we do? We can only do that. Watching the Japanese escape, the Osaka Division ran away, but it would be a pity to let the Japanese tank regiment escape."
"Then first transfer one battalion from the Third Regiment back." Wang Husheng said, "Only transferring one battalion back will not only strengthen the defense of Meixian County, but also won't scare away the Japanese. What do you think?"
"Not even one battalion." Xu Rui still shook his head, "The three regiments suffered a huge attrition after a series of fierce battles. If another main battalion is transferred back to support Meixian, there will be fewer troops left in Puxian. Once the Osaka Division The regiment is retreating in a large scale, and coupled with the coordinated operations of the eighth tank regiment, the third regiment may not be able to stop it!"
Wang Husheng said: "Old Xu, even if you have set your sights on the Eighth Regiment of Japanese Tanks, but you left the Third Regiment alone and refused to return reinforcements, you watched helplessly as the Secret Service Regiment of the Central Jiangsu Military Region continued to fight with Osaka in the remaining areas of Qingniuling. The divisions are fighting for their lives, and I’m worried that the friendly forces may have thoughts in their minds, thinking that we are using their people as cannon fodder.”
Xu Rui said: "Old Wang, what you said is right. Otherwise, let's just call him back and ask him to tell Chief of Staff Liu of the Central Suzhong Military Region that if the war situation is really urgent, he can ask the Special Agents of the Central Suzhong Military Region to Abandon Qingniuling, put the Japanese from the Osaka Division into Mei County, and fight them in street battles."
"Putting the Osaka Division into Meixian?" Wang Husheng asked, "Would it be too risky?"
Xu Rui said: "As long as the Shaqiaogang Fortress is not lost, and as long as the Eighth Regiment of Japanese Chariots cannot enter, there will be no danger. Just rely on the Osaka merchants of the Osaka Division, even if they all enter Meixian We won’t be able to make any waves. Once we deal with the Kumamoto Division, we can destroy them in minutes after we return.”
"Okay." Wang Husheng could only nod and said, "I'll send a telegram to Old Liu when I get back."
After a pause, Wang Husheng continued: "Now let's talk about the third thing. How do you think about the 13th brigade that is about to go north to aid Feicheng?"
Xu Rui frowned and said, "This matter is indeed a bit troublesome."
The trouble is not only the troops who are about to go north to help, but also the batch of arms that are going north along with the troops who have been mixed into the 13th Brigade! On the one hand, Xu Rui must deal with this threat, but on the other hand, Xu Rui does not want Nakamura Shun, a senior spy, to make any mistakes, but it seems difficult to have both.
The reason is also obvious. If the ** is eliminated and mixed into the 13th Brigade, Nakamura Shun, a senior spy who has developed with great difficulty, will not be saved. It's such a huge loss. If possible, I would even try to give some credit to Shun Nakamura.
All in all, it's a dilemma. (To be continued.)
