Chapter 145 Secret Action
Chapter 145 Secret Action
Xu Le was also startled by this sudden action. Even Xu Da moved his body and stood in front of Xu Le, thinking that the other party was going to attack him!
"It's okay, back off!"
Xu Le waved his hands. Suddenly, something occurred to him and he immediately understood the reason behind General Tong's action!
Ever since the all-out confrontation between the Tang Dynasty and the Japs, the Japs have been sending people to persuade Commander Jiang to surrender, while at the same time dispatching a large number of bombers to carry out indiscriminate bombing of Shancheng, the temporary capital of the Tang Dynasty!
Over the past few years, tens of thousands of civilians and tens of thousands of buildings in the mountain city have been killed and destroyed by the Japanese!
Although the National Guard in the mountain city had deployed anti-aircraft firepower, it was already very backward in weapons construction, not to mention more sophisticated anti-aircraft weapons, so the Japanese bombers could move freely in the mountain city!
The appearance of the Type 74 anti-aircraft gun gave General Tong hope for the mountain city's air defense. If the mountain city could be equipped with such an anti-aircraft machine gun, not to mention how many Japanese bombers it could shoot down, at least it could deter the Japanese and reduce a lot of casualties!
"How could I have forgotten this!"
Xu Le couldn't help but feel annoyed. He would be wary of certain people, but he would not ignore the people of the Tang Dynasty! Especially as the political center of the Tang Dynasty, Shancheng must not have any problems.
Immediately, Xu Le made a decision in his heart, which was to support the air defense of the mountain city!
But it was not given away for free. It was in the form of an arms deal. He could see that General Tong and others came with this purpose, otherwise they would not have behaved so respectfully at the beginning!
.......
The 176th Division is only this big, and it only has the army. There are not many of them that can appear on the parade, so it was over quickly!
At the same time as it was ending, there was a subtle change among the crowd of common people. A group of people dressed as common people surrounded some people in twos and threes. They first blocked their mouths to prevent any noise from causing a riot, and then took the people out of the venue!
In some hidden corners farther away, such as behind buildings and behind earthen hills, there are two people in each place, one is observing with a telescope and writing something on paper, and the other is secretly standing guard nearby!
But suddenly, several people appeared in every place. They first killed the sentinels with lightning speed, and then tied up the observers!
A little further away, at the joint headquarters of the Pu County Independent 1st Regiment and the 2nd Artillery Regiment, following an order from Fang Ce, the commander of the Independent 1st Regiment, the guard company and county police personnel dispersed in all directions. A moment later, sporadic gunshots were heard in the city.
In less than half an hour, soldiers in groups of three or four escorted people back to the regiment headquarters!
Meidongshan Headquarters!
The brothers Dalong and Xiaolong gathered together, and behind them were dozens of people wearing Zhongshan suits, all holding MP5 submachine guns.
"Action, all teams, fight quickly and decisively, don't let anyone go!"
The two Dalong brothers each left with a group of people, and the rest of the people were divided into several groups and went to various departments of the headquarters.
Gunshots were soon heard in Meidong Mountain. Although the training camp had been completely moved to the mountain village, there were still soldiers involved in the iron mine work training here, so it did not cause any commotion.
Everyone just thought that a company had changed shifts and was conducting daily shooting training!
......
Our sight returns to Shuitou Town. The military parade is over. The civilians who had visited the venue were led by the soldiers to leave in an orderly manner. The next ones to leave were the big families from counties and towns within the jurisdiction of the 176th Division. However, not all of these big families and trading companies left. Instead, nearly half of them stayed.
Seeing representatives from various local troops coming towards him, Xu Le spoke first, "General Tong, Commander Yan, Commander Wei, everyone! Please send someone with the final say to follow me!"
After saying that, Xu Le turned and left without paying any attention to everyone!
"Hey, General Tong, what should we do now?"
Commissioner Wei was a little undecided and asked General Tong.
General Tong laughed bitterly: "Haha, I really came to the right place! Xiao Wei, although you and I belong to the Military Commission, I am here on behalf of Commander Jiang, not as a representative of the Military Commission. So, you can go with me as Director Dai!"
Commissioner Wei thought for a moment and then left with General Tong. The rest of the group went back to their residence to rest under the guidance of people arranged by Xu Da!
The other representatives of the local military forces also each selected a heavyweight figure to follow General Tong and leave!
Commander Yan and Commander Wei, on the other hand, seemed unrestrained, as if they had reconciled again, and rushed to the front with their arms around each other's shoulders!
Until most people left, only one group of people was left at the seats, and that was the guerrillas!
"Everyone, there are too many National Guard generals here. Should we still go?"
"Originally we just wanted to come here to make some friends, but after watching this military parade, I think it's necessary to have a deeper cooperation with Xu Le! Now is the best time, so I think we must go!"
"Who should we send, then?"
After several people discussed it, the commander of the Southwest Shanxi Guerrilla Force took two steps forward and said, "I'll go. I've dealt with Xu Le once before, so it's easier for me to talk to him! You guys go back to the headquarters first and find a way to raise some steel and money. I'm afraid this trip will cost a lot!"
.......
Half an hour later, the 2-meter radius around the Independent 500nd Regiment's conference room was guarded more strictly. Regiment Commander Jiang Botao led the guard company to personally take action, because not only their young marshal but also half of the heavyweights of the Tang Dynasty's army were sitting in the conference room. If something went wrong, there would definitely be a stir in the Tang Dynasty!
General Tong, special commissioner of Commander Jiang;
Director Dai of the Military Commission represented Commissioner Wei;
Commander Wei, the supreme commander of the First War Zone;
Commander Yan, the top commander of the Second War Zone;
Representative of Commander Gu, the supreme commander of the Third War Zone;
Representative of the Fifth War Zone Commander Li;
Representative of Commander Zhu, the Supreme Commander of the Eighth War Zone;
Representative of Commander Chen, the Supreme Commander of the Ninth War Zone;
There are eight major war zones in the Tang Dynasty, and representatives from six of them have come, including the guerrillas who have been incorporated into the jurisdiction of the Second War Zone!
The Fourth War Zone's jurisdiction covers Guangxi Province and Guangdong Province, where the Japanese South China Front Army is fighting. In addition, it is far away from Shanxi Province, which may be the reason why no one came from the Fourth War Zone!
As for why no one came from the Tenth War Zone of Shaanxi Province, Xu Le didn’t know!
