Chapter 608: Itagaki Division

"Quick, quick!"

The sound of gunfire kept coming from behind, and Chang Gao was urging one after another.

The Chevrolet truck came to a halt.

A patrol car and several patrols appeared in front.

Chang Gaocheng's heart suddenly relaxed.

Those robbers are not going to shoot in front of the patrols.

Still, he didn't dare to get out of the car.

He had to wait until reinforcements arrived to come down.

He saw the patrol coming towards him.

Suddenly, Chang Gaocheng screamed miserably.

A dangling axe slashed at his left cheek.

Golden Axe!

Back then, Golden Axe relied on an axe to fight on the beach, helping Ji Yunqing to build his current status.

Now his body bones are useless, but he can still use an axe!

Chang Gaocheng is also a talent, at the moment of life and death, as soon as he opened the car door, the whole person rolled out.

Unfortunately, it was already too late.

A few patrols came over, and without saying a word, what they "banged" at Chang Gaocheng was a shot.

Chang Gaocheng died.

The golden axe jumped out of the truck.

A patrol drove straight to the civilian girls' school, which had already attended the class.

At the girls' school, an identical, brand-new, Chevrolet truck with no license plate was pulled out, replacing the previous location of the Chevrolet truck.

The two patrols dragged Chang Gaocheng's body to the back of the carriage, Gan Ning took out a grenade, brought a suitcase, sandwiched the grenade between the suitcase and Chang Gaocheng's head, and then pulled the fuse.

"Boom"!

Gan Ning nodded at the golden axe, and then quickly evacuated with his men to the civilian girls' school.

The golden axe pulled out his gun and hid in the front of the car.

It took just over a minute to do everything.

Exactly the same truck, in the compartment, is exactly the same suitcase, inside are almost exactly the same yen and military tickets.

Almost.

Steal the day!

Yen is still yen, military ticket is still military ticket.

But it's no longer the yen and the military ticket......

……

A small half box of yen was blown up.

But in the other boxes, there are all the yen and military tickets.

"Lao Jin, quickly, you send it out in person, you must send it out of Shanghai safely and to the hands of the Japanese! I'll send you more people, and you can't have any more accidents. ”

"Don't worry, Boss Ji!"

The golden axe patted his chest: "I will do it even if I risk my life!" ”

……

Year 1838.

Senior generals of the National Revolutionary Army, old enemies Zhang Zizhong and Pang Bingxun abandoned their personal grievances and fought a bloody battle with the Japanese army in Linyi, where the Japanese Fifth Division was severely damaged.

The six infantry brigades of the Sakamoto detachment of the Japanese army attacking Linyi fought in Linyi until March 29, but due to the urgency of the Seya detachment attacking Taierzhuang, only two brigades were left to contain Pang Bingxun and Zhang Zizhong's troops, and the remaining four brigades and artillery were transferred to Taierzhuang to fight.

The decisive battle of Taierzhuang has begun!

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, something has happened."

"Panic what." Lieutenant General Seishiro Itagaki Seishiro, commander of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army, raised his head dissatisfiedly: "Panic is detrimental to the dignity of the emperor." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency the division commander, however, the wings and detachments below have successively discovered fake yen and military tickets, which has caused dissatisfaction among the soldiers and some officers."

"What?" Itagaki Seishiro was stunned: "Counterfeit banknotes? Fake military tickets? How is this possible? ”

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, please take a look."

A military ticket was placed in front of Seishiro Itagaki.

Fifty bucks.

Great Japanese Emperor** with ......

Great Japanese Emperor ** with a ticket!

One less "hand" word!

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, this fake military ticket has very obvious characteristics, we quickly checked other yen and military tickets, and found a large number of counterfeit banknotes!"

"How is that possible?" Seishiro Itagaki simply found it unbelievable.

"That's true, these yen and military tickets are all shipped from Shanghai."

"Yours, do you mean Ji Yunqing's money?"

"Yes."

"Yaga!"

Seishiro Itagaki was instantly furious: "Bastard! Two million yen, one million military tickets, are they all fake? ”

"Judging from our investigation so far, it is very likely that it is all fake. Your Excellency, Division Commander, the all-out assault on the Chinese army has begun, and at this time so many counterfeit banknotes have been discovered, and all of them have been distributed to the soldiers, which will be a very big blow to morale. Many of our soldiers would send their salaries home, but now ......"

"You have to stabilize their emotions." Itagaki Seishiro's face turned pale: "Telegraph to Shanghai, investigate thoroughly!" ”

Itagaki Seishiro's mood at this time is completely difficult to express in words.

Since the launch of the assault operation, the Fifth Division has suffered many defeats, and at the most critical time, it even ignored the corpses of a large number of Japanese soldiers who had been killed.

The Japanese army has always attached great importance to the disposal of soldiers' corpses, and if it is not so critical that there is no way, they usually try to bring them back to incineration, and bring the ashes back to Japan.

But in the face of the squadron's strict defense and resolute counterattack, this is not taken care of.

And this has brought a serious blow to morale, and every Japanese soldier is worried about whether his ashes will be able to return to his hometown once he dies in battle.

Now, there is a large area of counterfeit money in the army?

Seishiro Itagaki could even imagine the dissatisfaction of the soldiers on the front line......

……

Shanghai, Office of Special Operations.

Boxes of money and military tickets were placed in Meng Shaoyuan's office.

Meng Shaoyuan took out a stack of money and held it in his hand: "Money, good things, do you know how much you can do with so much money?" ”

No one answered him.

Meng Shaoyuan threw the stack of money in his hand to Gan Ning: "Take out a part and reward it to the brothers who participated in the operation this time." For the rest, one million yen and all the military tickets were taken out and sent to the various guerrillas separately. For every 100,000 yen, there are 20,000 to 30,000 counterfeit bills. ”

"Yes!"

The life of the guerrillas can be more affluent.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Meng Shaoyuan stood up and walked to the map hanging on the wall: "I just received information from the front line, my **22nd Group Army, with inferior equipment and troops, fought bloody battles with the Japanese army for three days and nights, killing countless enemies, and I myself also suffered heavy losses. Wang Mingzhang, commander of the 122nd Division, died in his country! ”

He said slowly: "Stand up and mourn in silence for Master Wang!" ”

Everyone stood up and hung their heads.

"After a moment of silence, sit down." Meng Shaoyuan sighed softly: "Our army killed more than 2,000 enemies in the area of Teng County, which greatly hindered the advance of the Japanese army. Master Wang's achievements shine in the world. Wu Jingyi allocated a special fund of 100,000 yuan to send it to Master Wang's family anonymously. ”

"Understood." Wu Jingyi replied silently.

Young Master Meng seems to have always been stingy and regards money as his life. But when he needs to spend money, he really doesn't even frown.

Perhaps, people who do big things are like this, right?

"Everyone!" Meng Shaoyuan raised his voice slightly: "The Japanese army mobilized the main force and the Sulu battlefield, and our 2nd Group Army Sun Lianzhong's division stuck to Taierzhuang, and the Japanese army will definitely launch a crazy attack on Taierzhuang, and then occupy the entire Xuzhou." And I assert that the battle of Taierzhuang will be the most important turning point in the entire Anti-Japanese War! ”

All those who attended the meeting were stunned.

Director Meng's words are shocking. Now that the battle ahead is lively, and the victory or defeat is not scored, does he dare to say such a major turning point?

Meng Shaoyuan knew too well.

In the entire Battle of Xuzhou, the Japanese army used 9 full-strength divisions, in addition to 3 divisions, and the other 6 divisions garrisoned Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou and Inner Mongolia, Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, and Henan.

As a result, the forces have become extremely weak, almost to the point of being unable to support them.

Especially in the later stage of the campaign, due to the fierce resistance, the Japanese front-line operations felt that the troops were insufficient, and repeatedly asked the rear to increase troops. However, the invading Japanese army really had no troops to use, so they had to ask the Kwantung Army for help.

At that time, the Kwantung Army had already sent more than 100,000 troops to reinforce the Kannai, and it was very empty.

It was only because this was an order issued by the Japanese military headquarters that the Kwantung Army did not dare to disobey it, so they had to send more than 10,000 troops to Xuzhou, the mixed 3rd Brigade of Major General Tamura Motoichi and the 13th Brigade of Major General Morita Fanzheng, to Xuzhou.

At that time, the strength of the Kwantung Army was already quite empty, and if the Soviet army attacked the northeast at this time, the Japanese army would be defeated!

Since all the mobile forces of the Japanese army were fighting on the front line and in the first line, the rear occupation was like giving up. ** Armed forces behind enemy lines have developed enormously.

During this time, the armed forces behind enemy lines have reached 1 million people! The Eighth Route Army increased rapidly from 40,000 to 200,000 people, and the Japanese army could not be eliminated in a short period of time, thus completely falling into the quagmire of protracted war.

If the Japanese army was not so desperate for the encirclement of Xuzhou, but according to the so-called 1938 not to launch a new offensive in accordance with the previous formulation. In this year's time, the Japanese army can completely eliminate most of the ** armed forces behind enemy lines in the embryonic stage.

Then, there is no way to talk about a protracted war.

However, there is never an if!

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's March, spring has arrived, and our spring has arrived!" Meng Shaoyuan pointed to the map and said: "Southern Jiangsu, northern Jiangsu, our guerrillas behind enemy lines, frequent activities, order from now on, a large number of open recruitment of soldiers, desperately develop the armament!" Let me go and do it, and if you have the guts, you can pull me out as much team as you want! ”

glanced at Wu Jingyi: "Also, those officers at the level of squadron leader and above who have been trained in Shanghai, don't stay in Shanghai, send out all the money and guns, and expand the team for me!" ”

Be!

"Report, emergency!"

The telegraph operator hurriedly walked in and handed a telegram to Wu Jingyi.

Wu Jingyi only glanced at it, and her face suddenly changed slightly.

"What's the matter?"

"Cipher. Order Meng Shaoyuan, director of the Shanghai Special Office of the Military Command, to set off immediately, take at least two squadrons, and rush to Xuzhou in the starry night! ”

"What?" Meng Shaoyuan was stunned: "Let me go to Xuzhou immediately?" ”

"Yes, this is an order given by Director Dai himself."

"Got it." Meng Shaoyuan didn't dare to slack off: "Order, Jurong Zhu Yanni Department, he personally led two squadrons to Xuzhou, this death order, there must be no mistake!" ”
