Chapter 159: Return

Thunder suffered a big loss in Harbin, to be precise, it fell into the hands of the Kwantung Army, and even Thunder's commander Zhao Zhi was almost captured alive by the Kwantung Army. The propaganda of the Kwantung Army for several days made the news spread quickly, and the Japanese base camp in the mainland also sent a congratulatory telegram to the Harbin garrison, and the emperor personally ordered the commander of the Harbin Kwantung Army to be promoted by one rank, although Zhao Zhi was not left in the end, but it also broke the rumors that the thunder was invincible, didn't it.

The real situation of who was the loser was only known to the Kwantung Army and Zhao Zhi, who participated in the encirclement and suppression that day, but on the third day after the encirclement and suppression began, that is, the day the emperor sent a congratulatory message, something happened in Harbin, and the headquarters of the Kwantung Army in Harbin was reduced to ruins by bombs. After the attack on the Kwantung Army troops in the next three days had passed, General Ozawa, who commanded the Kwantung Army in Harbin, was surprised to find that in the past three days, not including the officers and men of the headquarters who died in the explosion, the troops under his command had suffered no less than 600 casualties.

Investigation, strict investigation, the whole Harbin is under martial law, there are Japanese soldiers everywhere, and the spies of the special high school can now have a chance to make money, as long as the family has a little money but no power, they have been turned upside down by these spies. Getting money while being busy arresting the so-called anti-Japanese elements is the favorite thing of all the traitors who defect to the Japanese.

"Captain, do you say that this little radish head is stupid, so many Japanese soldiers have died, and the person who started it will run into the pass as soon as possible, what's the use of us wandering around in this city every day, let's just go out of the city, that Zhao Jiatunzi is very suspicious, maybe we can catch a few anti-Japanese elements and go back to ask for a reward with the little radish head." Ma Chuang, who was full of grease, reached out and pulled a chicken leg from the roast chicken on the table and stuffed it into his mouth, and then said vaguely to the red-faced detective captain Lei Tao who had already drunk.

There are also a few spies and spies who drink with them, this tavern is opened by Lei Tao at home, and almost all of the people who come to eat and drink are people from their detective team or people who ask the detective team to do things, so Ma Chuang will say in public that the Japanese are little radish heads. "If you drink too much, go home and sleep, the chicken legs are told to eat and you can't stop your mouth, hurry up and eat, go home and sleep after eating, and talk about it tomorrow." Glaring at Ma Chuang, Thunder got up and left first.

"What's wrong with our captain? Isn't that what we usually talk about? Today, this is evil. Ma Chuang, who didn't know what was going on, insisted on nibbling on the roast chicken on the table, and staggered out of the tavern to go home to sleep. Hmm, who are you? Ma Chuang, who pushed open the door, was stunned, his wife and children were kneeling on the floor of the living room, a young man in black sat on the sofa, and there was a pistol and a cup of coffee on the coffee table in front of the young man.

"You're the detective team's Ma Chuang?" The young man with his eyes lowered looked at Ma Chuang who was in a cold sweat and smiled, and after getting an accurate answer, the young man who got up from the sofa was not verbose, picked up the pistol on the coffee table and pulled it in his pocket one after another, and after a few sounds smaller than the bursting of a balloon, Ma Chuang and his family were all shot and fell to the ground. "I don't want to kill your family, but your family doesn't have a good reputation like you, instead of following the Japanese to be traitors, it's better to go down and reincarnate together, and be a good person in the next life." The young man's words made Ma Chuang unwillingly lose consciousness, and he didn't even have a chance to fight back.

"Baga, these damn Zhina assassination squads, what are the people of the special high class doing to eat, it's been three days, can't they even find a clue?" Looking at the document that the adjutant had just brought, Ozawa Kai was extremely annoyed. The matter of designing Thunder with the Soviets is a secret of the Kwantung Army, and the specific matter is only known to the envoy sent by the Soviets and Ozawa Kai and a few close associates, and the seemingly seamless action did not leave Zhao Zhi, and the Chinese in the city who are connected with the Kwantung Army have been assassinated at least more than 100 people in three days, and Ozawa Kai knows that it must be Zhao Zhi's revenge, retaliating for them for setting a trap and calculating Thunder.

Like most Japanese commanders, Ozawa Kai, who was stationed in Harbin, studied almost all the battles of the Thunder, and unlike most Japanese commanders, Ozawa Kai believed that the Thunder was not as terrible as the Nationalist government. Thunder is very capable of fighting, and also has a record of undefeated myths, but Ozawa Kai believes that Zhao Zhi is the key to Thunder, as long as Zhao Zhi is defeated, Thunder is a plate of loose sand, first of all, those Jews will no longer fight for Thunder, and the Burmese, and then those foreign mercenaries from European countries, as long as Zhao Zhi is dead, Thunder is a toothless tiger.

It was precisely after thinking of these that when the Soviets came to the door, Ozawa Kai agreed to cooperate with them to set a trap and wait for Zhao Zhi to enter the urn, because Ozawa Kai knew how much temptation Unit 731 had for Zhao Zhi, and he thought that Zhao Zhi would definitely lead the team in person. The first half of the matter was the same as Ozawa Kai expected, Zhao Zhi came, only brought a so-called elite team, the entire squad was only 100 people, Ozawa Kai couldn't wait to prepare the celebration banquet, he arranged no less than one wing of troops in that trap.

It turned out that Ozawa Kai still underestimated Zhao Zhi, underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Thunder, and after seeing through the trap opened by Ozawa, Zhao Zhi's side first fired and knocked out the Type 94 tanks, and then used the smoke to get out. While Ozawa's troops were busy chasing the two trucks, Zhao Zhi led his troops to attack a Kwantung Army stronghold not far from the trap point, killing almost all the remaining Kwantung Army soldiers, and Zhao Zhi and his mercenaries disappeared.

"First attacked the airport at night, and then deliberately left a flaw for the city to send reinforcements over, intercepting the reinforcements on the way, and when our attention was attracted to the airport, he took people to attack our fake targets, I have to say that this Zhao Zhi is indeed a very good commander, if there is a chance, I would like to meet him then." Ozawa's teacher, Hidetomi Oki, is now the person in charge of the Harbin Special High School, and after reading the report on the failure of the ambush, Hidetomi Oki's face was full of emotion.

Compared with those Japanese troops stationed in the hinterland of China, the combat effectiveness of the units under the Kwantung Army is even stronger, Zhao Zhi can get out of the encirclement of a wing of the Kwantung Army with only a 100-strong force around him, and he also has the opportunity to strangle the Kwantung Army stronghold only 3 miles away from the ambush point, you can imagine how terrifying the combat effectiveness of the Thunder is. Like Ozawa Kai, Hidetomi Oki also believed that Zhao Zhi would not leave Harbin easily, and the attack on the soldiers of the Kwantung Army in the past few days and the killing of those pro-Japanese people in the city must be related to Zhao Zhi, which was his means of revenge.

"Teacher, Zhao Zhi is very difficult to deal with, from the first day my soldiers were attacked, I sent troops to design traps, but the attack lasted for three days, but none of the traps we left worked for, it seems that Zhao Zhi has seen through those traps." Ozawa Kai's face was depressed, the three-day attack made him lose 600 soldiers, if it was in wartime, this was almost three squadrons, and Zhao Zhi's revenge was too crazy.

"Cats and mice have to be patient and wait for opportunities, not to mention that Zhao Zhi is much more difficult to deal with than mice, we have to pay more patience. As long as he is still in Harbin, he will definitely make a move, our special high school has already sent a reconnaissance master from Beiping to Harbin, as long as Zhao Zhi makes a move, we will definitely be able to find him. Hidetomi Oki wasn't really confident in what he had just said, and he had to say it just to comfort his students.

Zhao Zhi, who was written by Dashu and Ozawa Kai, didn't know that the Harbin garrison was teaming up with the special high school to set up a trap and was ready to deal with him, but he wouldn't pay attention to it even if he knew, because when the Harbin Kwantung Army was busy looking for clues, Zhao Zhi and the others had already swaggered back to Chongqing on the transport plane that came to pick them up. With the help of the local guerrillas, the wounded were treated, except for the dozen or so mercenaries who died in battle that day, more than 70 of the 100 mercenaries brought by Zhao Zhi survived, which was a small comfort for Zhao Zhi, at least they were not wiped out in the siege of the Kwantung Army.

After two days of searching around with the guerrillas, Zhao Zhi finally selected a slope on the mountain as a temporary airfield, just to pick up more than 70 people who had lost almost all their equipment to go back, Mo Lun only needed to send two transport planes to use, but considering the soil quality of this slope, Mo Lun simply sent 6 transport planes over, the fewer people to ship, the lighter the weight of the transport plane, and the higher the safety during take-off and landing.

In return for the guerrillas, the transport planes that came to the rescue brought some Japanese-style weapons and equipment, and the 30 light machine guns alone were enough for the guerrillas to smile from ear to ear. Zhao Zhi didn't care about these things, they were all seized anyway, and he didn't want to owe the CCP favors, the failure of this operation was not only because of the Soviets, but also because of the military commanders responsible for collecting intelligence. Harbin and Chongqing are thousands of miles apart, and it is impossible for Zhao Zhi to go to the field to observe the terrain, so he can only rely on the intelligence in his hands to formulate a plan of action.

The situation of the military commander said that there was only one brigade of the Eastern Army stationed there, but the troops that actually exchanged fire with Zhao Zhi and them were no less than two brigades, and such an obvious mistake should not appear in the intelligence of the military commander. So Zhao Zhi asked Ye Kong to take people around to attack the Kwantung Army and those traitors, and when the Kwantung Army and intelligence agencies in Harbin cried out for a headache over this matter, Zhao Zhi quietly took people to take a plane back to Chongqing at night.
