Chapter 2 Gun Tower No. 19
In order to squeeze the activity space of the New Fourth Army guerrillas, the Japanese army in southern Anhui built a large number of artillery towers in various counties. Then, using these artillery towers as fulcrums and supplemented with hundreds of kilometers of trenches, the road divided the entire guerrilla area into countless small pieces, causing great difficulties for the infiltration and activities of the New Fourth Army guerrillas.
This is the masterpiece of the old devil, Okamura Yasuji.
I have to say that this old Japanese devil, Okamura, is still a bit standard.
Two years after the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese army had occupied a large tract of Chinese territory in North China, East China, and Central China. As the area of the occupied areas continued to expand and the population continued to increase, the security war in the occupied areas began to increasingly bind the Japanese army, especially the guerrillas led by the Communist Party, which caused great trouble to the Japanese army.
In order to deal with the ubiquitous and ubiquitous sparrow war, the response strategies of various Japanese frontiers and army commanders were also very different.
The new commander of the North China Front Army, Jun Tada, responded to the three-light policy.
The so-called three-light policy means killing people when they see them, robbing things when they see them, and burning them all if they cannot be taken away.
The three-light policy implemented by Tada Jung has caused great disasters to innocent civilians in North China, but the barbaric atrocities of little Japan did not intimidate the Chinese. Faced with the Japanese butcher knife, the civilians in North China have become more determined to resist, and the Eighth Route Army has also ushered in a historical opportunity for great development.
Just a year later, the Eighth Route Army was even able to launch a large-scale strategic counterattack, which was the Hundred Regiments War.
Regarding the Hundred Regiments War, some say it was a strategic recklessness, and some say it was the most difficult and darkest period of the eight years of the War of Resistance, which injected a shot of a strong man into the Chinese military and civilians. Putting aside the controversy, it was an indisputable fact that the Eighth Route Army had already had the ability to launch a strategic counterattack against the Japanese army at that time.
It can be seen from this that Tada Shin’s three-light policy was extremely failed.
In comparison, Okamura Yiji is much more skillful than Tada Jung.
Okamura Yasuji knew that the implementation of genocide policy on the Han people was doomed to fail.
The Han people stood in the east for two thousand years and had faced the threat of genocide countless times, but the enemies of the Han people never succeeded. Whether it was the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China, Mongolia's southward, or the countercurrent of the Qing Dynasty, they could enslave the Han people for a hundred or even two hundred years, but they would never imagine destroying the Han people.
In the end, these alien races were either assimilated or driven back to their habitat.
Therefore, Okamura Yasuji prefers to implement a policy of gentleness towards China and divide it into differentiated it.
Okamura Yasuji did not implement the Three Light Policy, but built a large number of artillery towers, trenches and roads in the controlled area of the 1st Army. Through these artillery towers, trenches and roads, the activity areas of the Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army and the guerrillas were divided, compressing their living space, and at the same time, dividing the people in the occupied areas.
This is the prototype of the infamous cage policy. Although it is far from perfect, its power has been revealed.
Under the squeeze of these artillery towers, trenches and roads built by the Japanese army, the guerrillas in the southern Anhui region clearly felt the pressure. Faced with the "gentle" and "not killing innocent people indiscriminately", the simple nature of the Chinese people was fully exposed, and they were not willing to join the New Fourth Army and fight against Japan.
Faced with this severe situation, the New Fourth Army launched a large-scale raid.
The 19th Detachment of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui also participated in the operation at the invitation of the New Fourth Army.
After several months of raids, the Japanese artillery towers in Qingyang County adjacent to Longkou were greatly damaged, and the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army had to turn its attention to the farther perimeter.
However, the 5th Team ran too far this time.
After more than three months of cruel training, Gao Shenxing decided to conduct a formal assessment of the 5th Battalion.
In order to increase the difficulty of this assessment as much as possible, Gao Shenxing asked Gu Yaqin to find a map, then dragged his unhealed body and drew a marching curve on the hospital bed.
The final direction of this curve is the No. 19 artillery building in Tongling County
Then, Gao Shenxing gave the deadline for completing the assessment, with only seven days
The numbers of the artillery towers in Tongling County are from inside to outside. The closer they are to the county town, the smaller the numbers. The No. 19 artillery tower is already on the edge of the Japanese-occupied area. Because it is close to the guerrilla area, the warning measures for the No. 19 artillery tower are very strict. In addition to a squad of Japanese troops stationed for a long time, there is also a whole platoon of puppet troops.
There is a small river outside the No. 19 artillery tower. The river is in a shape of several characters and flows through the north side of the artillery tower, and then flows to the south side, becoming a natural river protection for the artillery tower. The little Japanese recruited civilians to dig a trench in the west and introduced the river water. The No. 19 artillery tower became a fortress surrounded by rivers, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
It was already late at night, and the two puppet troops standing guard by the river had already hid in the guard booth.
The weather has turned cold and the river water is so cold that it can freeze people. The two puppet troops responsible for guarding do not think that the guerrillas can swim across the river. What's more, even if guerrillas really swim across the river, they will never be able to avoid the searchlights on the roof of the artillery tower, which can keep illuminating the surroundings of the artillery tower.
The two puppet troops would never have imagined that someone really came from the other side of the river.
The sharp searchlight shone from the roof of the cannon tower and illuminated the river surface. The river surface was calm and unwavering, with only a few reeds swaying gently in the wind. The searchlight stayed for a moment and then turned to another place. Almost as the searchlight turned on, the reeds swaying in the wind began to move towards the opposite bank in an extremely strange way.
A few minutes later, the reeds arrived on the other side.
Immediately afterwards, a black head emerged silently from the river.
Then there are the second, the third, the fourth, the fifth, and the total number is five people.
Li Mu poked half of his head out of the river and looked back at the four teammates behind him, Yan Laosi, Wang Yidao, and Erlang. The river water was cold and harsh. If it weren't for the bayonet in his mouth, Li Mu's two rows of teeth would have very likely fought. Yan Laosi and the others were almost the same. After all, they were also flesh and blood.
In this formal assessment, Gao Shenxing set a difficult problem for the 5th Team.
The interlude curve was not drawn on the rarely visited mountains or cliffs that were crossed by monkeys. On the contrary, Gao Shenxing marked this interlude curve in a densely populated area. On the way, he not only had to pass through two large towns, but also had to pass a full twelve blockade lines. Moreover, the 5th Brigade was not allowed to use force to pass through.
Before you reach your destination, you can declare the failure of this assessment as long as you shoot.
As an elite special forces soldier, Gao Shenxing knew very well that the essence of special operations was to arrive quietly and suddenly strike
Special operations have no front, no rear, no foreign aid, no internal response, and even no hope. The only thing they can rely on is themselves. As long as the gunfire sounds, there will be only two, one is the failure of the action and the loss of the opportunity to continue to act, and the other is the success of the action.
In order to cross the numerous blockades in Japan, the 5th Battalion spent a lot of time.
When Li Mu and his team tried their best to lurk near the No. 19 artillery tower in Tongling County, it was already the last day of the seven-day assessment period.
(Split Line)
He Dianzi was the platoon leader of the puppet army stationed in the No. 19 artillery tower.
Because it was cold, Widow Wang, who was in love with him, returned to her parents' home, and He Dianzi went to bed early.
In each artillery tower, Japanese soldiers usually sleep on the top floor of the artillery tower, while puppet soldiers usually sleep on collective dormitories. Except for the platoon leader who has a separate bunk, the big-headed soldiers below the squad leader can only sleep on the big bunk.
He Dianzi woke up from a daze and suddenly felt something was stuffed in his mouth. He instinctively reached out to take out the stuff stuffed in his mouth, but found that his hands were unable to move. He Dianzi woke up suddenly. When he was about to turn over and sit up, he found that his whole body was tied tightly on the bunk.
Thankfully, my eyes were not blindfolded.
So, He Dianzi saw a surprised scene.
The brazier in the dormitory had been set up, and the charcoal fire inside was burning strongly. Five strangers were sitting around the brazier, baking the fire while drinking and eating canned beef. He Dianzi's eyes suddenly widened. Where did these five people come from? Are they the National Army, the New Fourth Army, or the bandits? How did they come in?
