Chapter 92: Takamori's Discovery
"Who will command the mixed brigade?"
"Li Jiang, commander of the 156th Division."
"Well, let the Third Battalion go. In addition, the Third Battalion is equipped with four mortars, and the ammunition is sufficient. The Engineer Battalion draws a platoon and brings a sufficient number of molten bottles. The Japanese army obviously intends to break through the Zhonghua Gate to deal with the Japanese tanks. The current anti-tank weapons are not enough, so we can only use our local methods." Leng Feng suggested.
"I think it's OK." Qin Yankun said.
Luo Yufeng also nodded, Leng Feng's configuration was very reasonable.
"Go and call the third battalion commander, I have something to tell him." Leng Feng ordered the orderly soldiers.
"Old Liu, the regiment decided to take you to lead the team to help the Zhonghua Gate. Remember, you want..." Leng Feng pulled Liu Guichun to the yard outside.
"This old Leng, what can you say in front of us?"
"I just pretended that I didn't hear it." Luo Yufeng smiled. He knew that Leng Feng would say something to Liu Guichun, so he must not be able to say it explicitly.
"Forget it, the battle has just begun, and one-third of the troops have been removed, and we are braver again."
"The Japanese army suffered at Guanghua Gate, and at Zhonghua Gate, the Japanese army has made breakthroughs. The Japanese army below will definitely concentrate their efforts to attack Zhonghua Gate. Moreover, if you capture Zhonghua Gate, you can also divide the capital defenders from north to south, so the pressure on us will be relatively light." Leng Feng analyzed.
The pressure is lighter, but relatively speaking, even if the Japanese commander makes the decision to attack Guanghua Sect and focus on the Zhonghua Sect, the division commanders who are competing for me will not give up easily.
In fact, the top Japanese troops encouraged this kind of competition. Whoever attacked Nanjing City first would be the main attacking force.
However, in terms of resource allocation, the division that obtains the main attack will have a power bonus. After all, it is clear that whoever breaks through is easier and whoever gets more resources.
After the Hirano brigade headquarters was beheaded, the captain of the Takashi Takashi personally took people to the Laomiwu survey site, and then carefully asked his subordinates and soldiers who had experienced it. Finally, he came to the Engineering School for on-site inspection, which finally made him discover an amazing secret.
When he discovered this secret, he immediately went to the 9th Division headquarters to ask for the commander of the 9th Division Ryosuke Yoshisuke.
His troops were assigned to the 9th Division. In other words, Yoshisuke was his current immediate boss.
"Yingsenjun discovered a secret passage leading to the city. Do you think it is true?"
"Hai, my subordinates went down to check it out in person. This secret passage was built very old. It may have been a few hundred years ago during the Chinese Ming Dynasty. The Chinese army should have sneaked out of that secret passage to attack our team in the engineering school, and then disguised as an imperial army and sneaked into the Hirano brigade headquarters. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain how the mysterious Chinese army appeared?"
"How did the Chinese people know that the Hirano Brigade is located in Laomiwu?"
"this……"
"Are the Chinese people a god? Can they calculate it if they can do it?"
"Report to the division commander" Colonel Takashi Mori stood attentively and said solemnly.
"speak"
"When I swept the Mukou squad of the Chinese Engineer School, I was cleaning the battlefield, I did not find Lieutenant Mukou's body."
"You mean, Lieutenant Mukou was captured by the Chinese army, and did the Chinese army learn about the Chinese army's intelligence from him?"
"Yingmori, how can you doubt the loyalty of an emperor without evidence?" said Colonel Nakagawa, chief of staff of the 9th Division.
"Nakagawa, I just said that this possibility is not ruled out. Otherwise, why did we find everyone's bodies, but only Moukou was not found. Moreover, we also found Lieutenant Moukou's military uniform and some personal belongings in the corner of an abandoned classroom."
"The soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire actually betrayed the Emperor and betrayed the Empire, which is a shame." Yoshisuke was extremely angry. This made him even more angry and unacceptable than the failure of a battle.
"Also, after the Chinese army attacked the Hirano brigade headquarters, they could clearly return to the city from the secret passage, but they chose to cross our position from the front. Division Commander, what do you think is this?" Ying Sen Xiaodao.
"Isn't this a part of their plan?" Hiroshi Nakagawa asked in confusion.
"Kun Nakagawa, in fact, it's not that simple. This may be a part of their plan. Sneak attack on Hirano brigade headquarters was just a matter of convenience, but Huzhi felt that this might be the intentional Chinese people." Yingmori Filial Piety.
"How do you say this on purpose?"
"The Chinese people moved away all the military supplies from the Engineering School Warehouse. In such a short time, at least two or three hundred people were required to complete it. And they also needed to transport these supplies back. Then the secret passage must be very busy at that time. Therefore, they must not let us know that this is the main reason why they learned the location of the Hirano brigade headquarters and launched a sneak attack." Takashi Eaglemori analyzed, "Because Major Hirano is the highest commander of the front-line sweeping force, as long as he is removed, it can naturally cover up all the movements in the Engineering School, and it can also cause chaos in our army and have no time to take care of it, so that they can transfer materials from the Secret Road."
"It makes sense." Yoshisuke nodded.
"After they raided the Hirano brigade headquarters, they made an agreement with the Chinese army in the city to cross our army's position head-on. This is their second move to cover up the existence of the secret passage, because they don't want this secret passage to be invalid after being used once," Takashi Yingmori continued.
"After they moved all the supplies, our department will definitely investigate. Is it a matter of time before the secret passage?" Hiroshi Nakagawa said in confusion.
"Nakagawa Jun is right, but they have enough time to disguise themselves in extremely clever disguise at the entrance of the secret passage. If I hadn't found some clues, it would have been difficult to find the existence of this secret passage. In that way, the Chinese army would once again look like a ghost and want to appear on the back flank of our army." Speaking of this, Colonel Eaglemon Takashi couldn't help but feel a little proud.
This is a very terrible thing. Yoshizuru Ryosuke's expression plummeted, causing losses to one corps at a time. How many corps does the 9th Division have?
"What clue?"
"They retreated in a hurry and forgot that the shoes worn by the Chinese army and the imperial soldiers were different. Although they covered up the shoe prints and made traces that misled us astray, they finally found the entrance to the secret passage."
"Very good, Eagle Senjun did a good job"
"Thank you, the commander of the division, for your praise." Ying Senxiao was overjoyed and discovered this secret. In fact, he wanted to enjoy it exclusively and was ready to secretly lead his troops through the secret passage.
In that way, his troops would be the first troops to invade Nanjing, and the supreme glory would belong to him and the Third Division.
However, he thought again that the Chinese people knew where the secret passage was, so they must be prepared. If this was a trap.
Then I just tricked myself into it.
Ying Sen Takashi is a smart man. He discovered the secret passage himself, so the first troops to go down must be his corps.
If Yoshisuke Ryosuke changed to send other troops, the Fujita Division commander of the Third Division would not agree easily.
So, before he came to see Yoshisuke Ryosuke, he first reported this situation to Fujita Jin.
Even if Fujita Jin could not influence Yoshisu Ryosuke's decision, he found out that the credit for the secret passage was his Takashi Takashi.
"Yingsen-kun wants to lead an army to pass through the secret passage and launch an attack from behind the Chinese army's city walls, right?" Yoshisuke Ryosuke asked.
"Secretary Commander, this is an excellent opportunity. Please allow Bei Zhichen to lead a squadron of imperial soldiers to attack decisively from the secret passage and capture Guanghua Gate in one fell swoop."
"Yingmori, aren't you afraid that this is a trap left by the Chinese people on purpose?" asked Hiroshi Nakagawa.
"There is an old saying in China that wealth and honor are seeking danger. War itself is a kind of adventure. If we do not have the spirit of adventure, how can we conquer such a big country in China?" Ying Sen said arrogantly.
"Yingsen, how sure are you?" Yoshizuru Ryosuke was moved. He didn't care about Takashi Taka's little thoughts. Now his corps is part of the Ninth Division. Takashi Takashi can break into the city, which is because of his good command and the Ninth Division also has the credit for covering and assisting.
This point cannot be erased.
"At least 70% sure of a low position"
"It seems that Eaglemon Jun is very confident?" Hiroshi Nakagawa smiled.
"Please give Ying Sen a chance, your lord." Ying Sen Tiao put his legs together and stood attentively.
"If you have a three-point chance to win in any war, you can actually fight. Besides, Eagleman is 7 points and I have no reason not to give you this opportunity." Yoshizuru Ryosuke said slowly. He also needs a victory to wash away the shame.
"Thank you, the commander of the division." Ying Sen Takashi said happily.
"When will Eaglemon Lord be on the attack?" Yoshisuke asked.
"After making a little preparation, attack immediately." Ying Sen Takashi thought for a while.
"No, attack now. If you are discovered by the front-line observation post of the Chinese army, you will likely be wasted all your efforts. I suggest you wait until dark and enter quietly through the secret passage. I will order the front-line troops to cooperate with your actions and attract the attention of the Chinese army so that you can act quickly."
"Hay, I understand."
After Ying Sen gave a filial piety, he left the 9th Division command center to prepare for the sneak attack tonight.
"Secretary Commander, why did you delay the attack just now?" Chief of Staff Hiroshi Nakagawa asked in confusion. In his opinion, that reason was not valid. The Japanese army had already controlled the engineering school, and the nearby Chinese people had long been "cleaned". There was no intelligence personnel from the Chinese army. Even if there was an observation post, they might not be able to detect the movements in the engineering school.
Yoshisuke was silent. Obviously, he didn't want an outsider to steal the supreme glory of the first 9th Division to enter Nanjing City.
He also hoped that his troops would be the first to climb the Nanjing city wall and break into Nanjing city. In that case, Ying Senxiao's surprise attack would only add icing on the cake.
