Chapter Seventy-Five: Operation Thorn Clouds
Ouyang Yun and Chen Yuanyang stood on a boulder near the sea and talked eloquently. From time to time, the sea swarmed up from time to time, and shattered against the rocks, turning into sea water and flowing back into the sea.
This is a fortress position on Dongshan Island, and just behind them, a dark fortress has a black hole with its mouth, and a Maxim's muzzle sticks out, like a sharp tooth shining with cold light. Behind the bunker is a fort, twenty meters to the left of the fort, is a bay about three miles long, more than fifty meters wide at the widest point, in the shape of a trumpet. And what Ouyang Yun and Chen Yuanyang are talking about now is something related to this bay.
On the other side of the bay, there was originally a bare rock with an area of about one hectare, but now several "high-rise buildings" three or four meters high have been built - this can be regarded as the most mysterious part of the Higashiyamabe Naval Base, because except for a platoon of rotating officers and soldiers, no one can enter at any time. And what exactly this place, which is completely surrounded by barbed wire, is what only a few people know.
"Consider building a couple of torpedo boats and gunboats out of wood in the bay, that would be perfect. I believe that even in the daytime, it is difficult for little devils to distinguish the real from the fake," Ouyang Yun looked at the camouflage base built according to his own creativity, and always felt that something was missing, and when he saw a torpedo boat not far away that was carrying out a training mission, he realized that it was a missing "warship". Naval base, how can you do without warships?
"Well, I'll find someone to implement it as soon as possible. Commander-in-chief, do you see what else needs to be added? β
"How many lights are there now? The protection of the lamp must be in place, as well as wires and cables. Don't let the little devil bomb in just one round, and the whole base will become pitch black, in that case, the little devil will definitely be suspicious. By the way, the acousto-light effect of camouflage anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns was made? β
"It's already done, Commander-in-Chief, and I'll show you it in the evening."
"Good. What about the anti-aircraft dock? How's the construction going? β
The mountain of Dongshan Island has good coherence and hard stones, and it is very difficult to excavate the anti-aircraft dock. Chen Yuanyang said a little ashamedly: "The progress is relatively slow - the stones on Dongshan Island are too hard, and the project is very difficult, and now it is more than 50 meters into it." β
Ouyang Yun nodded: "We must speed up the progress, once the attack starts, our ships will definitely be the priority bombing targets of the little devils." We have to do everything we can to protect them, otherwise if we lose them, we will have to defend passively. At that time, without the constraints of your Dongshan Naval Base, the Japanese army will at least be able to land casually along the coast of Fujian. The Hainan base can't grow long, so you can only watch the little devils act recklessly. β
Behind the fort bunker, Bai Tassel stood aside with a few women's soldiers, vigilantly observing the surrounding situation, and a sharp cold light flashed in their eyes. A little farther away, Liu Kui wandered around with a few warriors, playing the role of a mobile sentinel.
The original intention of the Red Sleeves and White Tassels to form the Women's Army was to go to the battlefield to kill devils, but with the increasing scale of the student army and the stronger and stronger troops, their desire to do so became "out of place". In the words of some very macho officers: "How can we let delicate women go to war if we are not dead men?" β
This is too annoying, for which Shui Hongsleeves and White Tassel are very angry: "Why can't women go to the battlefield?" Didn't Chairman Chiang say that everyone was responsible for defending the land during the War of Resistance? Aren't we women Chinese? You are discriminating against us women, hum, I will go to Chongqing 'New Life Committee' to sue you! β
The Cadet Army itself advocated an open social atmosphere, and in addition to the well-developed media in the territory under its jurisdiction, Chairman Chiang and his wife were able to put together the "New Life Committee," which won the unanimous support of the vast number of women comrades in Fujian and Guangdong. Shui and Bai Ernu raised the "New Life Committee" at this time, which was also a timely response. plus two people, one is Chu Tiange's wife, and the other is the fiancΓ©e of the commander-in-chief, who belong to absolute heavyweights, and they choked those machismo people when they landed, where did they dare to continue to "make a big fuss". The two of them still didn't give up, and they actually made trouble with Ouyang Yun again, Ouyang Yun had no choice, and after discussing with a few bigwigs, he finally adopted a compromise method and officially transferred the women's army to his own guard unit to calm the indignation of the female soldiers.
Who knew that this caused the dissatisfaction of Guo Biao and Mu Jiandie and other officers who were particularly concerned about Ouyang Yun's personal safety, and from Ouyang Yun's safety plan, even if they did not discriminate against women, they had to doubt their ability. After a heated debate, both sides took a step back and reached an agreement to give the women's army a three-month probationary period, and if there were no problems during the probationary period, they would officially replace Liu Kui's guard force and become the guard force to protect Ouyang Yun's personal safety.
Because of this reason, along the way, whether it is the white tassel or the accompanying female soldiers, they all play ten out of ten spirits, for fear that there will be any mistakes because of their own negligence, then the women's army will really be looked down upon.
Bai Tassel once served as the supreme commander of Ouyang Yun's guard troops, and Liu Kui used to be her subordinate, so there was no problem in the command sequence of the guard troops this time. However, whether it was Ouyang Yun himself or Liu Kui, including Bai Tassel, who had always behaved like a great enemy, they never thought that there was no problem with the guards of the Women's Army, but there was a problem on Dongshan Island - they were discovered by someone who was interested when they entered Dongshan County.
Yanagawa Kensheng, as an elite agent under the Mei Agency, entered Dongshan County at the height of the Battle of Taierzhuang. As early as a year ago, the Japanese noticed this place as Liu Zheliang built a large number of fortifications in Dongshan County. As Ouyang Yun said, Dongshan may not be the best landing location, but it can play a pivotal role in the Japanese army's Fujian and Guangdong strategy. In view of this, various Japanese secret services have been trying to find a way to enter Higashiyama, but they have not been able to do so until the appearance of Rajiro Sama. Sama Raojiro not only successfully mixed into the tank unit of the Cadet Army as Xue Pengfei, but also discovered a huge loophole in the counter-espionage methods of the Cadet Army. It was with his help that Liu Chuan, under the pseudonym Liu Dashan, was successfully recruited by an agricultural cooperative in Dongshan to become an accountant, and soon brought in three more subordinates to build an intelligence point.
Ouyang Yun, as the supreme head of the military and political affairs of the Cadet Army, will often make speeches on TV out of various needs, and in the news broadcast of Guangzhou TV at seven o'clock, he is also one of the leaders of the Cadet Army with the highest exposure rate. The ribbon-cutting activity of the "Jinan", he naturally wanted to participate in it for ulterior purposes, but what he didn't expect was that he would actually see Ouyang Yun.
This discovery made Liu Chuan overjoyed, and he suddenly realized that his opportunity to build a miracle had come.
The fundamental task of establishing an intelligence point in Dongshan was to find out the defense situation of Dongshan and to provide guidance for possible night bombing by the air force in the Fujian and Guangdong Offensive in the near future. But now, it doesn't matter anymore-"If you can get the aviation to immediately send out to bomb Dongshan and directly kill Ouyang Yun-" The result of this idea is too tempting, once it grows in Liu Chuan's heart, he can no longer resist it. He hurried back without waiting for the ribbon cutting to end, and then immediately called the other three to the secret base. After he said his thoughts, the other three people were stunned, and one named Yamaguchi Fushu said in surprise: "It's an opportunity, if you can blow up Ouyang Yun, the great enemy of the empire, in Dongshan County, Ha Luha, then the student army will be over!" β
Yanagawa looked at them, punched his right hand the table, and said, "Then it's decided." Ximu, you hurry up and send a telegram to Shanghai, and ask them to ask Taiwan to contact us immediately. Yamaguchi, you and Maeda immediately prepare guidance tools and weapons, and we must provide the most accurate bombing coordinates for the air force as much as possible! β
"Hello!"
Several radio waves passed back and forth over Dongshan County, and soon, the headquarters of the Shanghai Mei agency got the message. The stakes were so important that the left-behind personnel of the Mei agency did not dare to make an assertion, and immediately called Ying Zuo Zhenzhao back. When Ying Zuo Zhenzhao learned the news, his first reaction was to rub his hands together with excitement, and said in a loud voice: "God-given opportunity!" What a godsend! Okay, just do what Liu Chuan proposed, don't go through the base camp, and immediately call the Taiwan side. β
At about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, at Taiwan's Kaohsiung Airport, as a whistle sounded for an emergency assembly, the air units of the Asakura Flying Brigade, who were about to have dinner, picked up their helmets and rushed out of the barracks one by one.
Chaocang Ying walked behind the darkest ray, and he saw that all the ground staff on the tarmac were busy, and his brows couldn't help but lock. After waiting for his subordinates to line up in front of the control tower, he walked to Junichiro Asakong, commander of Taiwan's Second Air Regiment, and asked, "Your Excellency, what happened?" β
The hemp worker behaved very seriously, he glared at Asakura and said, "Return!" β
Asakura Taka is the only ace pilot in the Second Air Regiment, so Ma Gong has always been more polite to him, and it is the first time that he has been scolded so harshly as today. Asakura is also aware of current affairs, and immediately realized that something big had happened, and quickly bowed and ran to stand in the column.
The eyes of the Ma Gong Yin Owl swept over all the aviation troops, and suddenly said loudly: "Gentlemen, now convey the order of the Taiwan Governor's Office, Asakura Shaozuo!" β
"Hello!" Asakura stepped forward and bowed his head respectfully.
"Order: Asakura Flying Squadron immediately take off to carry out a bombing mission, operation code: 'Thorn Cloud', destination, Dongshan Island Naval Base in Fujian Province, China. Asakura-kun, this is the order book, please put it away! β
The focus of the training of the Asakura Brigade during this period was night operations, and Dongshan County was the key target of the Fujian and Guangdong raids, and Asakura had already personally gone to reconnoiter twice. But even so, he still couldn't understand why he had to rush into battle, and it was a brigade that was all dispatched. He was very worried, because the training was not sufficient, the distance was too long, and the accident rate would inevitably increase greatly if so many fighters attacked together, and if the losses were too great, even if they could successfully paralyze Dongshan Island, they would be too much to achieve, and they would be reprimanded. He first instinctively "hai" to accept the order, and then looked up and asked suspiciously: "Your Excellency, is it too hasty?" Moreover, you don't need so many fighters, do you? β
"Asakura-kun, these are not your concerns," Ma Gong was uncharacteristically stern, and he shouted, "You just need to complete the combat mission well." You have to take off now, so that you can get to the east as soon as possible. There will be someone there in the East Mountain to guide you to the goal, remember, three bonfires. When you bomb, you drop two more bombs wherever there is lightβget it? β
"Hello!"
"Alright, you can rest assured, I will prepare a sumptuous dinner for your victorious return! At that time, we will congratulate together! β
The planes on the tarmac and in the hangar had already completed the loading work, and Asakura took the lead in walking towards his own fighters, and half an hour later, all 48 fighters took off into the air and flew rapidly in the direction of Dongshan under the leadership of Asakura.
After seeing all the fighters take off, Ma Gong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered to send a telegram to Yanagawa to inform him that the fighters had departed, and asked him to calculate the time and prepare to respond.
At around eight o'clock in the evening, Yanagawa, accompanied by Zhou Jicai, the president of the cooperative, drove a truck full of rice into the Dongshan Island Naval Base.
The cooperative led by Zhou Jicai is a fixed supplier of rice to the base, and he not only has a pass for the base, but also knows many officers and soldiers very well. Originally, according to the rules of the base, outsiders were not allowed to enter the base after seven o'clock. However, on today's general duty, a major captain named Guo Hai had a good relationship with Zhou Jicai, and he begged the latter hard, but he only had this face, personally inspected the goods on the truck, found no problems, and then let him go.
Guo Hai didn't know that he had made a big mistake, and after he saw Zhou Jicai's truck driving in the direction of the canteen, he also took special care of the guards and soldiers on duty and said: "The commander-in-chief is staying here today, you all give me some spiritual points, and you must not go wrong in any way!" Did you hear it all? β
The four guards replied in unison: "Captain Guo, don't worry." With us here, not to mention people, not even a mouse wants to sneak in. β
Guo Hai smiled: "That's good." β
In view of the fact that the commander-in-chief had been assassinated many times in the past, the decision-making level of the Dongshan Navy headed by Chen Yuanyang attached great importance to the security work of the commander-in-chief. But what they never dreamed of was that the enemy would sneak into the base from the gate in the open.
