5.15 Japanese scouts

Defense Line. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Changshu section.

There was a light rain in the sky, the road became very muddy, and the rout of the brigade was still passing through Changshu.

Due to the ultra-high efficiency of the 99 th Army Defense Zone, the formed units have basically been completed, and now the swarming rout troops include the broken troops, some have been transferred from other directions, and more are small units that have been scattered.

Sometimes, among the hundreds of people who have passed the customs in the same batch, they can report the number of 7 or 8 divisions, and the composition of the personnel is extremely mixed.

Ichiro Watanabe and his men finally waited for the most opportune opportunity.

Ichiro Watanabe was a lieutenant officer in the Japanese army, and he was the top military commander of a scout unit of the 16th Division.

At first, they were tasked with biting the back of the Chinese army and reporting the direction and speed of the Chinese retreat to the division headquarters, and to put it bluntly, Watanabe Ichiro and his subordinates did the things of scouts.

However, Watanabe Ichiro led the team to chase after and suddenly found that the Chinese troops in front of them were only concerned about fleeing for their lives, and even forgot how to use the weapons in their hands.

The Japanese soldiers were not equipped with much ammunition, and after the killing, Watanabe Ichiro's scout team had to use weapons and equipment discarded by the Chinese army, which were scattered everywhere on the road and were very easy to replenish.

In order to better conceal his whereabouts, Watanabe Ichiro ordered all his men to change into the clothes of the dead Chinese soldiers, and now these Japanese were covered in Chinese goods except for the close-fitting crotch cloth.

When Watanabe's scout team approached Changshu, Watanabe Ichiro received the latest order from his superiors, and the division headquarters ordered them to mix in the rout of the Chinese, pass through the defense line where the 99th Army was stationed, and then lurk in the rear of the Chinese army, waiting for the arrival of the main force of the division and regiment before launching an attack.

In particular, it is necessary to spread some unfavorable rumors among the Chinese army to disturb the morale of the Chinese.

Ichiro Watanabe's scout squad had several soldiers who could speak Chinese, all of whom were specially transferred from Taiwan.

In fact, Watanabe Ichiro doesn't like these Taiwanese soldiers very much, although they are descendants of the Japanese, but Watanabe Ichiro always feels that their taste is not right.

After all, it's not a purebred Yamato man.

There were many Chinese troops retreating on the road, almost never stopping, and the scout squad was wrapped up in a large group of routs, and they advanced with them towards the Changshu checkpoint.

Watanabe Ichiro staggered forward in the middle of the crowd, his head buried very low, the fat military uniform on his body was very indecent, the Japanese figure was still a little short compared to Chinese, fortunately, these Chinese soldiers around him were extremely tired, and no one noticed that this "brother" was strange.

Ichiro Watanabe smeared some blood on his face, and he did this to better hide from the sentinels at the front of the level.

What Watanabe Ichiro didn't expect was that the sentry in front of the Changshu checkpoint was just constantly directing traffic, and there was no identification of the identity of the people who passed the level, and Changshu's defense could be said to be slack to the extreme.

"The people of China are really an ignorant people, and it seems that the title of the sick man of East Asia is really suitable for them."

Watanabe Ichiro took a special look at the neck of this Chinese sentry as he walked past the sentry, and if he wanted, he could use the dagger at his waist to cut the throat of this Chinese, and then the crowd at the front of the level would be in endless chaos.

Unfortunately, the mission of his scout squad has changed, and Ichiro Watanabe can't do it.

So Ichiro Watanabe licked his lips with his tongue to show his regret.

"Just let these people live for a few more hours, and when the army of the commander of the Nakajima Division arrives, you will all be turned into a pile of corpses!"

The scout team followed Watanabe Ichiro one by one, again unnoticed by the Chinese sentries.

The Watanabe scout team walked a few dozen meters inside, and the road behind the level became wider and wider, more than twice as wide as the front of the level, and the originally dense flow of people suddenly became loose.

Suddenly, the flow of people walking in front seemed to be separated by something, and Watanabe Ichiro narrowed his small eyes and observed for a long time, finally seeing the situation in front clearly.

The road at the end of the road was divided into a dozen passages by the soldiers of the 99th Army with loaded guns, and the huge flow of people became a dozen trickles here, and then diverted out from different passages, and groups of fences stood next to these passages, and the flow of people went in different directions.

If they were separated from each other, it would be likely that the scout team would never be able to gather again.

This situation was completely unexpected by Ichiro Watanabe, and he slowed down to get closer to his men to discuss countermeasures.

Watanabe Ichiro's anomaly was very conspicuous in the flow of people, and all the people around Watanabe Ichiro continued to move forward, only he was standing still, and the soldiers who were blocked behind Watanabe Ichiro made dissatisfied voices.

The soldiers of the 99th Army with submachine guns immediately turned around, and some officers who were at the scene looked over to this side.

Worst! To be exposed!

In order not to be suspicious of his identity, Ichiro Watanabe bends down and pretends to tie his shoelaces, and after a short period of thought, he decides to take a gamble.

After passing this checkpoint, there will definitely be a chance to meet up with your subordinates, and the diversion of the crowd here should only be a way to relieve the pressure of traffic.

It must be like this!

You can't reveal your identity here!

Watanabe Ichiro smiled and walked towards the nearest passage, the rout behind him shouting:

"Straight sissy thief! When is it? And put on a stance! It's all fucking shabby, what kind of score are you dwarf? ”

"Your baby is a great mallet! You idiot! ”

Watanabe turned a deaf ear to the scolding, some of the local Chinese dialects he didn't understand, but he could guess that the Chinese soldiers weren't saying good things.

When Watanabe Ichiro was about to walk into the passage, he was suddenly grabbed by the soldiers standing at the entrance of the passage, and Watanabe Ichiro's hand immediately touched his waist, ready to attack at any time.

In the distance, the members of the Japanese scout squad grabbed their guns......

"20th Division of the 134th Army?"

The soldier who grabbed Ichiro Watanabe pointed to the complement on the chest of Ichiro Watanabe's military uniform and asked.

Watanabe Ichiro immediately realized that the other party was asking for his number, and the Chinese army would make the number of their unit into a patch and sew it on his chest, and this should be what the Chinese soldier in front of him was asking now.

Ichiro Watanabe could speak some Chinese, but his pronunciation was very stiff, so he didn't open his mouth, just nodded.

"The passage of the 20th Army to the right! Go for it! ”

Ichiro Watanabe understood this, and he walked to a passage on the right-hand side, and walked in, and this time no one held him back.

Ichiro Watanabe breathed a sigh of relief, and the scout team in the crowd relaxed.

Because the uniforms of the Japanese scout team were randomly ripped off the dead bodies on the side of the road, dozens of them were scattered into several passages, and when they walked in, they all subconsciously exchanged glances with their companions in the crowd, all of which were seen by one person......

************************************************

"Mr. Sasaki, how many have you walked over?"

"Report to Director Xu Taijun, there are a total of 54, and the one who took the lead seems to be the guy who squatted down to tie his shoelaces just now."

"Your eyesight is okay! It's worthy of being an intelligence background.,Section Chief Sasaki.。 ”

Xu Xinghua's compliment made Sasaki very excited, and it seems that he got another opportunity to perform in front of his top boss today.

It's a pity that the eldest prince is not here, which is really a pity......

"What do you think? Section Chief Sasaki? ”

"Report to Director Xu Taijun, when are we going to catch these devils?"

I've been in the 99th Army for a long time, and now Sasaki is very smooth when he talks about the word "devil".

Xu Xinghua said with a smile:

"Don't worry, Section Chief Sasaki, you don't want to catch a few alive? Add some more people to your special high-tech department? ”

Sasaki closed the notebook of records, and he replied to Xu Xinghua's question with a huff:

"Report to Director Xu Taijun, the scouts of the devils have always chosen some die-hard bushidoists, such devils are difficult to subdue, and they obviously mixed in with some purpose, it is better to solve it as soon as possible."

"What Chief Sasaki said is reasonable, just do it according to your method! If Tegaoke performs well this time, I will ask you for credit in front of the military seat. ”

Hearing Xu Xinghua's words, Sasaki's waist bent lower, Xu Xinghua was afraid that Sasaki's waist would break, this "Japanese rape" is really a talent, and he made good use of this opportunity to pat himself on the back:

"It's all about serving the Great Prince, as it should be, as it should be...... The main thing is that it is better to be led by the director Taijun! ”

This Sasaki, I just can't change this problem of calling Taijun when I see someone!

Xu Xinghua waved his hand, and Sasaki took his special high-tech personnel to go.

The attack on the 22nd Brigade made the Japanese realize that there was a problem with their cipher code, and the Central China Dispatch stopped using the old cipher half a month ago, and Sasaki's listening center was no longer operating.

Except for a few "Japanese traitors" who had some talent in cipher codes and were left in the listening center to continue trying to decipher the new codes of the Japanese army, Sasaki and most of his subordinates returned to the special high school.

Huang Haoran knew that the Japanese army had always liked to send scouts to create chaos, and there were thousands of troops passing by in Changshu every day, and it would not be surprising if a few scouts were mixed in, so the work of screening Japanese scouts was put on the agenda.

Xu Xinghua made a good suggestion, that is, to let Sasaki take the "Japanese traitors" of the special high class to various checkpoints to screen the Japanese scouts.

Can anyone know the Japanese better than the Japanese?

Xu Xinghua's proposal was approved by Huang Haoran, so Sasaki took the "Japanese traitors" of the special high school to a new job.

The small movements of Ichiro Watanabe and his subordinates immediately reveal their identities in front of Sasaki, and the sense of smell of the "Japanese traitors" plays a great role, and they have a high sensitivity to their former "compatriots".

Ichiro Watanabe's scout squad is all exposed under the noses of the 99th Army secret service!

*********************************************

Watanabe Ichiro walked in the passage for a long time, and every once in a while someone regrouped them and let them into a new passage.

Gradually, Ichiro Watanabe understood the role of these passages.

This is a huge shuffling machine, and the Chinese soldiers who have lost their formation are grouped in layers of these passages, and eventually the officers and soldiers who belong to the same number will leave through the same exit.

This means that Ichiro Watanabe's false identity will be revealed at the end of the passage!

Every step forward now is one step closer to death!

Ichiro Watanabe's head began to sweat......

It's another fork point, the guards here are actually collecting weapons and equipment, and Watanabe Ichiro doesn't know whether he should hand over his weapons or not.

Once these things are handed over, Watanabe Ichiro will become a toothless tiger, and if his fake identity is revealed, he will not even have the ability to fight to the death!

Don't hand over weapons? That's almost impossible!

The defenders' guns were pointed at Ichiro Watanabe, and if he wasn't willing to cooperate, the defenders wouldn't mind wasting a single bullet.

Who invented such a method of marshalling stragglers?

This is the wisdom of the devil!

Watanabe Ichiro pulled out a grenade hidden in his sleeve, and it seemed that he had to drag a few Chinese defenders to be loyal to the emperor, so as to send a signal to the subordinates of the scout team behind him.

It's hard to mix, let's fight!

Just as Ichiro Watanabe was about to pull off the grenade fuse, a "Chinese officer" suddenly appeared in front of the table where the weapon was examined.

It appeared that the officer was in charge of the checkpoint, and he asked the defenders some questions as he flipped through the records on the table.

Watanabe Ichiro stared at the Chinese officer and leaned over step by step, intending to pull the Chinese officer on the road with him.

"Hey! Where are you going, soldier? Hand over your weapons! ”

Ichiro Watanabe didn't answer, and he didn't stop, he instead increased the frequency of his steps.

"Stop! Stop now! Otherwise shoot! ”

The situation was already at a critical juncture, and when he leaned in front of the Chinese officer, Ichiro Watanabe had a murderous smile on his face!

"Jamai Road! Yaga! ”

The Chinese officer actually spoke Japanese?

Ichiro Watanabe was stunned, what was going on?!!

The rushing defenders subdued Ichiro Watanabe in the blink of an eye, and the grenade fuse on his little finger was removed.

"Japanese! How could you be Japanese? ”

Intuition told Watanabe that the person in front of him just now was a pure-blooded Japanese, and he even heard the dialect flavor in the other party's Japanese pronunciation.

This man is by no means a Chinese who understands Japanese!

Ichiro Watanabe felt that his nerves were a little unbearable!

"Why can't I be Japanese? You ignorant of current affairs! ”

The "Chinese officer" continued to speak in Japanese, and he looked at Ichiro Watanabe with contempt in his eyes.

Two more Chinese officers came out from the side, and they patted the Japanese-speaking "Chinese officer" on the shoulder appreciatively, and the "Chinese officer" nodded his head to show his loyalty.

"You traitor to the Great Japanese Empire! Traitor! Amaterasu will punish you! ”

The "Chinese officer" was Sasaki's right-hand man, Koizumi, who impatiently turned around and kicked Watanabe Ichiro in the stomach, and then announced Watanabe's fate in an indifferent voice.

"Idiot! At least I'm alive for now! And you, you're going to die! ”

Watanabe's scout squad soon experienced a very similar scene, and none of the 54 people had time to do anything destructive.

The scout units of the 16th Division were thus completely wiped out by the 99th Army.

Nakajima's first move was a success, and Huang Haoran used his "Japanese traitors" to win a complete victory.

***************************************************

Nanjing, Presidential Palace.

The highest authorities looked at a room full of senior officers in silence.

The troops of the three theaters finally managed to gain a foothold on the Wufu line, and the Japanese pursuing troops had already followed, and fierce battles had broken out in some parts of the Wufu line, and the 98th, 171st, and 13th divisions of the left flank combat army resisted vigorously and temporarily stopped the enemy's offensive.

The defense line near Changshu City was now the target of heavy Japanese attacks.

There were only Huang Haoran's 99th Army and the 10th Artillery Regiment in this area, and there were still a large number of retreating troops on the road, which put the General Staff in a dilemma.

Blocking the highway can indeed make Changshu's defense stronger, but what about the army behind? These troops are the family of government officials, and no one dares to propose that they be abandoned.

If the road is not blocked, if Changshu is captured by the Japanese army, a huge gap will be carved out of the Wufu line, and the Japanese infantry divisions will pour in from this gap, and once the Wufu line is lost, the defense of Nanjing will be put on the agenda.

Changshu suddenly became a lifeline from the eyes of the generals of the General Staff.

The supreme authorities knew that it had now reached a very dangerous time, and they responded to the demands of the troops on the Wufu line, and all the military warehouses near the defense line were opened to provide supplies with all their might, and the three armies near Nanjing also began to move towards the defense line, but helplessly, too many troops were withdrawn from the defense line to Nanjing, which completely blocked the road traffic, and the reinforcements of the three armies were still trapped in Wuhu and could not advance a single step.

This situation made the senior officers of the Nanjing government a little depressed, and the top authorities looked at the gloomy expressions of these subordinates and felt even more unhappy, but fortunately, Jiang Baili did not care about the previous words of the top authorities at this time, and once again returned to his position as a "think tank".

"The family is poor and filial sons, and the country is chaotic and knows loyal ministers! The ancients did not deceive me! ”

The highest authorities made a heartfelt sigh in their hearts!

"Hundred miles! How long will it take for the troops withdrawn from Songhu to return to formation? How much more time will it take to go into battle again? ”

Jiang Baili is busy with these things these days, he can be said to know the situation of the troops well, as soon as the highest authority asked, Jiang Baili blurted out:

"The casualties of the troops withdrawn from Songhu are quite large, and what is even worse is that the loss of equipment is very serious, except for a few numbers such as the 36th Division, the 88th Division, the 1st Army, and the 18th Army, which are still intact, the other troops are basically completely disrupted, and it is estimated that it will take five days to restore the basic structure at the earliest, and it will take half a month to restore the combat capability if it is restored, and it will take at least half a year if you want to restore the combat effectiveness before the Songhu War of Resistance."

The more Jiang Baili said it later, the more ugly the face of the highest authority became, he knew that what Jiang Baili said was the truth, but this fact was too cruel!

"Hundred miles! Do you think the defense line can be held for three months? As long as there are three months, the troops withdrawn from Songhu will be able to rest and recuperate, and at that time, we will still have the ability to fight the Japanese! ”

Jiang Baili smiled a little bleakly, he didn't expect the highest authorities to have such an optimistic spirit now, Jiang Baili felt that he couldn't cry or laugh.

"Unless we can have 10 99th Army, maybe we can realize the hope of the chairman, but unfortunately, we only have 1, and it is a 99th Army ...... that has just finished resting"

Such an answer is tantamount to telling the supreme authorities that the general trend has turned, and it is better to make preparations for the defense of Nanjing as soon as possible.
