Chapter Twenty-Four: Into the Tiger's Den
Lu Yuan's ambush succeeded in making the Japanese puppet army in Baoding think that there was an elite enemy unit active around Baoding, and after they reported the matter to the front headquarters, the North China Front headquarters immediately mobilized troops to move to Baoding, trying to successfully encircle and suppress the elite enemy unit reported by the Japanese army in Baoding. And Lu Yuan, who caused this situation, has moved along the Zhengtai Railway to the periphery of Zhengding at this moment, because there is a large material transfer station for the Japanese army.
Because there had been attacks on the Japanese warehouses in Shanghai and Baoding, the Japanese troops stationed in Zhengding deliberately mobilized a large number of Korean people from outside the customs to Zhengding, and they firmly believed that only in this way could they prevent the resistance from infiltrating the material transfer station in Zhengding to cause sabotage. It is precisely because of the tight defense of the Japanese army in Zhengding that they have successfully thwarted several attacks from local guerrillas, but they did not expect that this time they need to face Lu Yuan, a Korean fan from the later generations who has been influenced by a large number of Korean variety shows.
Lu Yuan has watched a lot of Korean variety shows in later generations, in order to pursue that immersive effect, Lu Yuan also deliberately learned Korean, although there are some differences between Korean in later generations and the current Korean dialect, but this does not prevent Lu Yuan from using Korean to communicate with the North Korean workers in Zhengding. It was learned that the Japanese army in Zhengding's material transfer station could only be entered and exited by Japanese and Koreans, and almost all the work in the material transfer station was handled by Korean laborers.
Lu Yuan originally wanted to disguise himself as a North Korean and infiltrate the material transfer station, but he did not expect that the Zhengding Japanese army implemented semi-militarized management of these Korean laborers. Thousands of Korean laborers were divided into several brigades by the Japanese army, and there were squads under the establishment of the brigades, and one squad leader actually managed only about 30 people under his command. Under this kind of precautionary means of the Japanese army, Lu Yuan did not dare to sneak in with makeup at all, because the possibility of exposure was too great.
There was no way to enter the material transfer station, Lu Yuan's follow-up plan could not be implemented, and after two days of lurking in Zhengding, Lu Yuan finally waited for an opportunity. In the tavern frequented by Korean laborers, Lu Yuan, who was dressed in disguise, happened to hear the news that tomorrow afternoon, a Japanese army unit would come to the material transfer station to pull supplies, and this Japanese army unit had just been withdrawn from the front line to rest, and I heard that the casualties were not small. This time, the withdrawal to Zhengding was not only to supply supplies and supplies, but also to receive a batch of supplementary troops.
Receiving reinforcements means that this Japanese army will be filled with a large number of fresh faces, and Lu Yuan is very excited when he hears this. That night, Lu Yuan, dressed in black, quietly infiltrated the Japanese military station outside Zhengding City, and a group of Japanese recruits who had just arrived today temporarily lived in this military station. Early the next morning, the cook in the Japanese military station got up early to prepare breakfast, and when he opened the lid of the water tank to get water, he accidentally triggered Lu Yuan's arrangement last night*.
With a bang, the water tank in the kitchen of the military station, along with the cook, was blown into the air by the explosion, and when it fell again, the entire kitchen was already filled with gunsmoke. There was a sudden explosion in the military station, and the veterans who were in charge of the daily affairs of the military station were better, but the new recruits who had just arrived yesterday immediately messed up. The sound of pulling the bolt of the gun and the desperate shouting made the military station instantly chaotic, and a large number of recruits rushed out of the barracks shirtless.
"Boom... Boom..."In the chaos, Lu Yuan's * set up last night was triggered and detonated, and under the burst of a large area of blood mist, most of these Japanese recruits who had been looking forward to making contributions as soon as possible were scared. In fact, there were not a few places that Lu Yuan arranged last night, and the panic of the Japanese recruits themselves made these * exert an unexpected killing effect, and more than 100 casualties made Lu Yuan, who was hiding in the shadows, smile from ear to ear.
Although the explosion had already stopped, the chaos in the station had not stopped, and after the Japanese army in Zhengding sent troops to surround the station, the chaos in the station gradually dissipated. Lu Yuan, who disguised himself as a Japanese soldier, did not make any out-of-the-ordinary moves, he just followed a few Japanese veterans, busy transporting the wounded, compared to those recruits who were already scared or the unstable elements who kept babbling because of fear, the veterans seemed to prefer newcomers like Lu Yuan who only knew how to work with their heads down.
The military station was quickly blocked, and Lu Yuan, who was alias Ichiro Ono, was called by the veteran in charge of the affairs of the military station to continue to help. Before lunch, the chaos in the military station had completely subsided, and Lu Yuan and several other outstanding recruits were praised, especially Lu Yuan, who was even more felt by those Japanese veterans that they could directly stay in the military station to serve.
"Seniors, thank you, but when I left my hometown, I promised my fellow villagers that I would definitely make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, and when I returned to my hometown, I would definitely become an officer. It is good to stay in the military station, but if you stay here, you will not have the opportunity to make meritorious service at all. Lu Yuan, who goes by the pseudonym Ichiro Ono, was slightly "shy" grateful to these Japanese veterans who tried to keep him, and his words were full of longing and longing for the battlefield.
Lu Yuan had already expressed his position like this, and these Japanese veterans naturally didn't say much, and then under Lu Yuan's whispered request, a Japanese second lieutenant in charge of the affairs of the military station kindly added Lu Yuan's name to the first batch of supplementary lists. After lunch, Lu Yuan, along with more than 500 other Japanese recruits, was added to the infantry wing that had just been withdrawn from the front line.
Lu Yuan came from the recruit replenishment station, and with the recommendation of several veterans and officers from the station, the Springfield Wing would not doubt Lu Yuan's identity. Half an hour later, Lu Yuan, who drove the truck, followed the convoy to the material transfer station, and after several checkpoints in a row, Lu Yuan and his party were approved to enter the material transfer station. After actually entering the material transfer station, Lu Yuan found that the dare was completely different from what he imagined in advance.
Most of the warehouses Lu Yuan saw at the Shanghai docks were concentrated and dense, but most of the warehouses here were semi-basement, and there were gaps between the warehouses, so if someone sneaked here, they would definitely not be able to escape the sight of patrols or mobile sentinels. Lu Yuan followed the convoy slowly forward, and finally stopped outside the door of a warehouse, where about 100 North Korean laborers were already waiting, and the warehouse with the gate open was stacked with dense wooden boxes.
At the door of the warehouse stood a dispatcher and a group of Japanese patrolmen, and every Korean laborer who entered and exited the warehouse wore sleeveless coats, and none of them had pockets on their clothes. According to the regulations of the material transfer station, the only people who can enter and exit these warehouses are dispatchers, inspectors and those North Korean laborers, and Lu Yuan and others who come to load materials in this way are not allowed to enter the warehouse. Lu Yuan's truck was put last, and seeing the drivers of the trucks in front of him, they were all smoking and chatting in a remote corner, and Lu Yuan also walked over slowly with a pack of cigarettes.
is similar to what Lu Yuan expected in advance, after replenishing the recruits, not everyone in the Springfield Wing is familiar with each other, especially these Japanese drivers, who thought that Lu Yuan, who had a Kyoto accent, was originally from the military station. After smoking a cigarette with these old and sick drivers, Lu Yuan excused himself to pee, so he walked around the warehouse alone and walked towards the toilet in the distance. Through the small window of the toilet, Lu Yuan clearly saw that Japanese patrols passed by here from time to time, trying to enter the warehouse without being noticed, but now it seems that it is impossible.
Lu Yuan, who had already decided to make a big fuss, simply put his mind on the sideways and changed his outfit directly in the toilet, and after a Japanese patrol passed by the toilet, Lu Yuan, who was already fully armed, immediately ran out of the toilet. "Ahh
Secretly screaming in his heart that it was dangerous, Lu Yuan, who was hiding behind the tarpaulin, remained motionless, and waited for the group of Japanese patrols to pass, and then carefully drilled out from behind the tarpaulin. After more than a dozen breaths, Lu Yuan finally moved under the side wall of a warehouse, and before the patrol appeared, Lu Yuan used the storage space to quickly dig a large hole in the wall of the warehouse. Drilling through the hole in the wall, Lu Yuan turned around and stuffed the wall tiles in the storage space back into their original places, if they didn't look carefully, absolutely no one would find that these wall tiles were moving.
Lu Yuan, who entered the warehouse, patiently squatted behind the wooden box, and after scanning it with a full-view map, when he confirmed that there was only himself in this warehouse, Lu Yuan slowly got up and walked out from behind the wooden box. After two consecutive attacks on the Zhengtai Railway, Lu Yuan's storage space* had already been exhausted, so the first thing he did after entering the Japanese munitions warehouse was to find out if there was * stored in this warehouse.
Using a crowbar to pry open more than a dozen wooden boxes in a row, Lu Yuan didn't find any trace of *, but his luck was still very good, * didn't find it, but found a batch of large-caliber * shells stored in this warehouse. Lu Yuan almost didn't know anything about artillery, but looking at the size of these shells in the box, Lu Yuan guessed that the caliber of these shells would not be lower than 120 mm caliber. It can also be used as a ** with large-caliber shells, so Lu Yuan was honest and unceremonious, and stored no less than 40 such large-caliber * shells in his storage space in one go.
