Chapter 71: Divide the troops (new book, please watch)
Since he had made a decision in his heart, the plan to go south to Hangzhou had to be cancelled. Then when the troops arrived at Puyuan Town to rest, Li Guoyao called all the officers above the squadron leader to discuss the matter!
In an abandoned two-story building, Wang Zhanhai, Ma Desheng, Xu Hu, Zhang Tengjiao and others gathered around a military map. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Li Guoyao's face, waiting for him to speak.
Li Guoyao looked at the map and said: "Brothers, the situation has changed. I seized a batch of Japanese telegrams when I attacked the Japanese Jiaxing garrison headquarters. I just discovered a lot of new things when I was flipping through them!"
"Detachment leader, what's new?" Xu Hu asked immediately.
As he spoke, Li Guoyao took out a document written in Japanese from his pocket and said: "This telegram is the "Nanjing City Strategy Essentials" combat order sent by Matsui Iwane, commander of the Japanese Army's Shanghai Expeditionary Force, to the front-line troops. It clearly mentioned Even if the defenders open the city peacefully, they must "mopping up" each after entering the city. In the name of "mopping up," not only "defeated remnants" or "plainclothes soldiers" can be massacred, but civilians can also be massacred."
As soon as Li Guoyao finished speaking, everyone on the scene took a deep breath. They were all troops who had withdrawn from the Songhu battlefield. They all knew the name of Matsui Iwane. Such an order came from the mouth of the senior Japanese general. , the consequences are obviously disastrous.
"Detachment leader, is the content of this telegram true?" Xu Hu asked with a frown.
"Although the authenticity needs to be verified, it is true above the eighth floor!"
"If this is the case, that would be terrible. The Japanese are a bunch of beasts. Once such an order is given, they will definitely kill more unscrupulously, and the consequences will be disastrous!" Xu Hu said.
"That's what I'm worried about!"
Then Li Guoyao took out a piece of telegram again and said: "There is also this telegram. This is a telegram sent by the commander of the Tenth Army, Yanagawa Heisuke, to the defenders of Jiaxing City. The content is that in order to smash the rampant activities of the Chinese bandits, farmers and workers have Needless to say, even women and children should be killed.¡±
"In addition, when Tanabe Moritake was killed previously, a speech was seized from his personal letters, which he used in his landing speech at Hangzhou Bay. It clearly mentioned that mountains, rivers, and vegetation are all enemies, and "Attention to the common people of China" also mentioned that on the battlefield in North China, especially in Shanghai, ordinary Chinese people, even if they are old people, women or children, often serve as spies for the enemy, or inform the enemy of the location of the Japanese army. Or harming lone soldiers of the Japanese army, etc. There are such examples, so we should not be careless and bold, and need to pay special attention, especially to the rear troops. If these behaviors are discovered, they should not be condoned and should be dealt with decisively."
¡°There are various signs that the top brass of the Japanese invaders have issued an order to retaliate against the Chinese during the attack on Nanjing and after the capture of Nanjing. The core of this order is to massacre the city, and as Chinese soldiers, we must stop this atrocity of Japanese devils!¡±
As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Desheng said: "Detachment leader, let's not say whether the content in these documents is true. Even if it is true, how can we stop the atrocities of the little Japanese with our current strength?"
"Yes, Captain, we only have such a small number of troops. We may be able to play some role in local battles. If we put them in Nanjing City, I'm afraid they won't even make a splash!" Xu Hu said.
Li Guoyao said immediately: "Of course force will not work. Our small force cannot stop the Japanese from attacking Nanjing, but we can remind the people and the government and tell them that the Japanese are going to massacre the city!"
"But does anyone believe what we say?"
"This is why I called you here for a meeting. I plan to return to Shanghai to assassinate King Jiuhiko of the Asaka Palace of the Japanese royal family. As long as we kill that guy, some people will believe what we say!" Li Guoyao said in shocking words. .
¡°Assassinate the Japanese prince?¡±
"Return to Shanghai?"
"Captain, there are so many of us, the target is so big, and the Japs are looking for us everywhere, is it too risky to go back like this?"
Li Guoyao signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Risk is for sure. In fact, we are already taking risks the moment we put on the military uniform. No matter you are an officer or a soldier, bullets will not go around you, no matter your individual soldier No matter how high your quality is, you will still die if you are hit in a vital part. No one can guarantee that he will never be injured or die, not me, nor anyone else!"
Li Guoyao then continued: "The ancients said that death is inevitable for everyone, and it may be lighter than a feather, or it may be??On Mount Tai. Some things are clearly dangerous, but they are still obligatory. Assassinating the senior commander of the Japanese army is our only chance. For the sake of the people of Nanjing City, and to be worthy of the military uniform we are wearing, even if we die, we must straighten our backs and die generously! "
"Detachment leader, you rescued us brothers from the dead. We are not afraid of death. But if we return to Shanghai like this, we may be discovered by the Japs before we even arrive in Shanghai!" Xu Hu said.
"Of course it's impossible for the entire detachment to go. Our operation this time is an assassination, not a storm, so we don't need too many people to go!" Li Guoyao said.
"Captain, what are you going to do?"
Li Guoyao immediately said: "My plan is to divide the troops into two groups. One group will be commanded by me and return to Shanghai to assassinate the Japanese prince. In addition to Prince Asaka Palace Hatohiko, the commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Army, Matsui Iwane, and the commander of the Tenth Army, Yanagawa Heisuke, also Our assassination target. The other route is commanded by Deputy Captain Xu and Deputy Captain Wang, and goes straight from Puyuan to Deqing, and then goes north from Deqing to Nanjing."
"I heard that the vast area east of Nanjing is now full of broken troops who have been withdrawn from Shanghai. Your mission this time is not to return to Nanjing City, but to gather the broken troops as much as possible if conditions permit. Remember, don't We take care of things like weapons, equipment, food supplies, etc., as many as there are people."
"Detachment leader, why do we need so many people?"
"You don't have to worry about this. I will complete the mission and join you as soon as possible. You will know then!"
"yes!"
"Remember, no matter how many people are gathered, do not bring the troops into Nanjing City. Your task is to gather enough broken troops and take them to a secret place near Nanjing City to hide them and wait for my order!"
"yes!"
Then Li Guoyao said to Lin Yudie: "Miss Lin, you also have a mission. Use your secret channel to inform Nanjing that the Japanese are going to massacre the city. Just say that the source of the news was discovered from the Japanese Jiaxing Garrison Command, and from This was verified by Moritake Tanabe, Chief of Staff of the Japanese Tenth Army.¡±
"What if Shangfeng doesn't believe it?"
"It doesn't matter. It's their business to believe it or not, but it's our business to do it or not. If they can believe what we say so easily, there is no need for me to go back to Shanghai and take this risk!"
"Detachment leader, how many people do you plan to take back to Shanghai?" Xu Hu said again.
"Maybe fifty or sixty people!"
"With such a small number of people, I'm afraid they don't even have the strength to resist when they encounter a large group of little devils?" Xu Hu said in a deep voice.
"We are going to carry out an assassination this time, so we can only pretend to infiltrate. It is not good to have more troops. Fifty or sixty people are exactly equivalent to an infantry squad of the little devil, which is enough!" Li Guoyao said.
"Detachment leader, I, Lu Dashan, am willing to return to Shanghai with you!"
"You should forget it, your height is too conspicuous, and the target will be exposed at a glance!"
Everyone followed Li Guoyao's eyes and saw that Lu Dashan's height of over 1.9 meters was indeed very conspicuous!
"Isn't it just that you are taller? Are there no tall people among the little devils?" Lu Dashan said unconvinced.
"Hahaha, this really doesn't exist!"
Then Li Guoyao said with a smile: "You also know that we call the Japanese invaders either "little devils" or "little Japan." This title is not obtained for no reason. It is because the Japanese are short in stature. Even if they are Compared with our southerners from Xiaojiabiyu, China, they are incomparable."
"In ancient times, our country called Japanese invaders Japanese pirates, and Japan was also called the Japanese country. The word "Japanese" refers to Japanese people who are wretched and short in height. This can also explain that Japanese people at that time were generally shorter in height. In Japan During the Warring States Period, there were many famous heroes. The most famous was Toyotomi Hideyoshi, one of the three heroes of the Warring States Period in Japan. He was nicknamed a monkey because he was only 1.4 meters tall."
"There is also the famous Oda Nobunaga. Oda Nobunaga almost unified Japan and controlled most of Japan during his most glorious period. It is recorded in Japanese history books that Oda Nobunaga was tall and tall and was known as A towering giant. But Oda Nobunaga is about 170cm tall. If you look at someone who is 1.7 meters tall, he is a towering giant. You idiot, a man who is 1.9 meters and almost 2 meters tall still wants to sneak in. Isn¡¯t it nonsense!"
Hearing Li Guoyao's words, everyone couldn't help but laugh, and the solemn atmosphere eased. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
