[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 629: Qingdao Enemy Situation (Ask for subscription!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

The Japanese retreated, but Ma Zheng didn't care, although the Battle of Qingdao was about to start and needed support from other battlefields, especially the elite of the Fifth Division. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, under Ma Zheng's layout, the Fifth Division has been transferred to the Shanxi battlefield, which is thousands of miles away from Qingdao. Even if they were not intercepted, it would take half a month to return to Shandong from the Shanxi front, not to mention that although the Japanese army withdrew its troops from the Yuanping front, it did not mean that they could calmly deploy troops, and the more than 200,000 troops in the Second War Zone were not vegetarians, and it would take a while for the Japanese army to stabilize the situation in Shanxi.

What's more, as long as the Suicha Military Region maintained pressure in the direction of Xinkou, the North China Front Command would not dare to transfer the Fifth Division out of the Shanxi battlefield.

Therefore, after receiving the battle report from the front, Ma Zheng did not stop the earth-shattering plan he had formulated, but continued to order the troops to assemble in the Qingdao area. At the same time, Huang Sicheng's subordinates were ordered to increase pressure in the direction of Xinkou and be ready to support the Shandong battlefield on the side at any time.

In addition, Ma Zheng also ordered the headquarters of the Suicha Military Region to transfer four new regiments to supplement the Second Integrated Division in Zhangjiakou to make up for the battle losses of the Second Division some time ago, and ordered Yang Chengwu's troops to secretly assemble and be ready to launch an attack on the Japanese defense line in Xuanhua and Xiahuayuan at any time, and cooperate with them in seizing Tianjin.

It was already very cold in Qingdao in November, and since the cotton clothes were not yet in place, everyone including Ma Zheng was still wearing single clothes. It's okay during the day, and I don't feel cold when the sun is shining. But at night, it's a different story, and the temperature quickly reaches five or six degrees, which is not freezing, but still cool.

Jiaozhou. Madian Town.

Ma Zheng arrived in Jiaozhou on November 9, and since it was less than 60 kilometers away from Qingdao, in order not to attract the attention of the Japanese puppet army in the Qingdao area, Ma Zheng ordered the troops to disperse to the mountainous areas around Jiaozhou and wait for the order of the division headquarters.

In a small mountain forest ten kilometers north of Madian Town, Ma Zheng was discussing the battle plan with Xie Wensheng and others, when suddenly Lu Guoqiang, the head of the guard regiment, hurriedly came in and said, "Commander, Captain Chen of the special combat team is here!" ”

"Coming? People are there, call them in! Ma Zheng immediately instructed.

"Yes!"

As he spoke, Ma Zheng threw the pencil in his hand aside and waited for Chen Tiesheng to come in. You must know that this special operations squad is an elite unit that Ma Zheng sent to Qingdao to carry out reconnaissance missions a month ago, and whether or not this battle can be fought or not, whether or not the results will go smoothly depends to a large extent on the reconnaissance results of the special operations squad.

Soon, Chen Tiesheng, who was dressed as a peasant, walked in from outside, and immediately saluted after seeing Ma Zheng and the others, and then said: "Hello commander, Chen Tiesheng, the second squad of the first squadron of the wolf's tooth special operations brigade, reports to you!" ”

"You kid is back, sit, hurry up and talk about the situation near Qingdao!" Ma Zheng said immediately.

After Chen Tiesheng sat down, he immediately said: "Commander, after careful investigation by our special operations team, we learned that the Japanese army has a total of four units stationed in Qingdao and its surrounding areas, the first of which is the Qingdao garrison, which was originally stationed in Qingdao in cooperation with the Japanese Fifth Division, but as a result, the Fifth Division was transferred to the Shanxi battlefield by the North China Front Army Headquarters last month, so this garrison has become the main garrison in the Qingdao area. ”

Ma Zheng immediately asked: "How is the establishment of this garrison, how is the configuration of weapons, and who is the commander?" ”

Chen Tiesheng immediately replied: "This garrison of the Japanese army is a strengthened brigade, with more than 1,400 people, and the commander is named Toyama Ryutaro, with the rank of Nakasa, and the eldest son of the Toyama family in Yamaguchi Prefecture. The Qingdao garrison is a second-line garrison brigade, which was originally subordinate to the independent mixed sixth brigade, and is now under the direct jurisdiction of the 12th Army Headquarters of the North China Front. The brigade is equipped with Type 38 rifles and crooked light machine guns, Type 92 heavy machine guns, mortars and Type 92 infantry guns, but it has no mountain artillery and field artillery, let alone tanks and armored vehicles, and is an ordinary infantry brigade that can no longer be ordinary. ”

"And what is the combat effectiveness of this infantry brigade?" Ma Zheng asked again.

"Judging from what we have learned, the combat effectiveness of the Toyama Brigade is very average, mainly because its predecessor, the Sixth Brigade Regiment, which was formed independently and mixed into a new brigade in early 38, and its composition is all new recruits, and only a small number of veterans, so the combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the front-line field troops at all." Chen Tiesheng replied.

"Well, where is the second force?" Ma Zheng said.

"The second is the Qingdao Special Forces, which is a unit that combines intelligence reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, and its establishment and number are unknown, and its origin is quite mysterious. However, we have detected that there are many traitors in this special team. ”

"This doesn't matter, most of the general secret services are just auxiliary to the regular troops, and it is nothing to ask them to perform supernumerary tasks, but it is not much use to let them defend the city." Ma Zheng said in a deep voice.

"Commander, there is also a Qingdao military police, this force is only 120 people, commanded by Captain Aoki of the Japanese Army, and the station is at the Qingdao Japanese Army Garrison Headquarters."

Then Chen Tiesheng continued: "The last one is the Qingdao Garrison, which is a puppet army, which is subordinate to the Shandong Public Security Corps of the Shandong traitor Ma Liang. The establishment is called a regiment, but in fact there are only 600 people, responsible for public security and police work in Qingdao City, but in fact they are accomplices and minions of the Japanese ruling Qingdao! ”

Ma Zheng nodded and said: "From this point of view, the Japanese army in the entire Qingdao is only about 22,300 people, and it also includes more than 600 puppet troops, and the combat effectiveness is very limited, right?" ”

"Back to the commander, the situation in the city is roughly like this, but there is still a Japanese army in the port more than 20 kilometers away from the city of Qingdao. It was a garrison force of about 1,000 men under the Japanese Navy, whose main task was to guard the Japanese naval base in Qingdao. Chen Tiesheng replied.

"Have you ever reconnoitred that naval base of the Japanese army?"

"After reconnaissance, it was a large naval base, with more than 30 Japanese naval ships that were regularly frequented, in addition to a large number of Japanese merchant ships and cruise ships. There were at least a thousand Japanese troops stationed there, plus a large number of naval crews! In addition, the naval base is well fortified, and it is difficult to break through from the outside! Chen Tiesheng replied.

"Looks like it's a tough bone!" Ma Zheng said with a frown.

Chen Tiesheng thought for a while and said, "Commander, although this naval base of the little devil is an Iron King, it is not difficult for us to break through it!" ”

"Oh, what do you suggest?" Ma Zheng immediately asked.

"It's really hard to hit from the outside, but it's much easier if you hit from the inside!" Chen Tiesheng said in surprise.

"What do you say, how can our people get into the naval base?" Ma Zheng asked again.

"This is easy to do, although this naval base of the Japanese army is a military base, but it is also a coolie wharf, and a large number of Qingdao coolies will enter this naval base every day to load and unload ships for the Japanese, so we have the opportunity to enter the interior of the naval base."

"What if you can get in, since the little devil dares to let these Chinese coolies in, then he will definitely have to search his body, even if you can get in, you can't bring weapons and equipment in, how can you fight from the inside out?" Ma Zheng asked again.

"Commander, some time ago, I worked in the Japanese naval base for a period of time in order to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and I know the situation there very well. Don't look at the Japanese navy from the outside, the inspection is very strict, and the guards are also very strict, but in fact, it is all superficial, and the actual situation inside is called chaos, and it is too easy to bring some weapons and equipment in. Chen Tiesheng replied.

"Oh, that's the case?"

"The situation is even better than I said, the Japanese army that has been in peace for a long time has no defense against those coolies at all, we have a chance to bring in the short guns!"

"Even if you can bring a weapon in, how many people can get in? If the number of people is small, I am afraid it will not make much difference, right? Ma Zheng asked again.

"Commander, I've thought about this issue too, in fact, we don't lack helpers, we can completely incite those coolies to revolt and help us take that naval base!" Chen Tiesheng said. (To be continued.) )
