The Iron-Blooded Army of Beacon Fire

Chapter 173 Move the defense artillery school and prepare for robbery

Two days later, at the Secret Service Battalion Headquarters, He Wei had just checked the accounts with Lieutenant Li Youcai, and was about to go out and shoot a couple of shots to have fun. The phone suddenly rang. He Wei thought it was something going on with the military police, so he answered the call. But he didn't expect that it was General Xiao on the other end of the phone.

"Hey, is this He Wei?"

Hearing that it was General Xiao, He Wei immediately felt that something was not right.

"Yes, Commander Xiao, it's me. Whatever the situation is today, please call me personally. If there is any situation at Xiaguan, just ask your subordinates to inform me."

"He Wei, get ready. Speaking of this, our Gendarmerie Headquarters is sorry for you. Last time Commander Tang asked the Gendarmerie Headquarters to stop shipping and blockade the river. We rejected him and left the people blocked. The garrison headquarters, he has taken a grudge from then on. He has been finding fault with us these days when he has nothing to do. But I don’t know what happened. He discovered that your special agent camp is under the command of our garrison headquarters and put him there. Your troops are being targeted."

"The situation on the front line has been bad these two days. It is said that the Japanese army has broken through the outer Sichuan Army defense line and engaged the defenders of Jiangyin Fortress. This morning, Commander Tang issued an order to our military police headquarters, asking your special agent battalion to move the defense Go to the Army Artillery School in Tangshan and be ready to attack the outskirts of Nanjing at any time."

"I argued with Commander Tang on the grounds that your troops did not have many troops and it was inappropriate to go out to the outskirts and engage in large-scale battles with the Japanese army. However, we offended him so much that we argued with him for more than half an hour, but nothing happened. I don’t even let go, I have no choice but to obey the order.”

Listening to Commander Xiao's description, He Wei tightened his grip on the transmitter of the phone. He didn't expect that this guy named Tang would actually play such a trick. Instead of sealing off the Yangtze River, he actually wanted to seal it somewhere else. To make up for it, it turns out that his grandma really had a good plan, and this plan made He Wei miserable.

Attack on the outskirts of Nanjing?ha?It was said that it was an attack, but it was actually a trick to send He Wei's spy camp to die. He Wei was really furious. Others didn't know it, but he knew very well that after the national army was defeated on the battlefield in southern Jiangsu, the Japanese army's nine The division divided its troops into three groups and came straight to Nanjing. This battalion of one's own was really not enough to be seen in front of such a heavy Japanese army.

If the Gendarmerie Headquarters did not allow him to block the river, he would throw the troops under the Gendarmerie Headquarters to the front lines to die in retaliation. He Wei and his spy battalion inexplicably became the subject of a dispute between senior officials. Sacrifice.

Perhaps feeling He Wei's anger, Commander Xiao suddenly whispered to He Wei on the phone in an extremely apologetic tone:
"He Wei, our Military Police Headquarters is sorry for you. We really can't defeat Commander Tang. However, I also got some reinforcements for you. Although most of the Army Armored Corps evacuated Nanjing this time, it left behind a tank. The company helps defend the city. After I applied to Commander Tang, Commander Tang agreed to assign this tank company to your special agent battalion, as well as a tank defense artillery platoon, all under your command. In addition, I transferred from the Military Police Headquarters Two car companies are given to you. You can use them for motor transportation. At critical moments, you can withdraw on your own initiative. The riverside has reserved a boat for you in advance."

At this point, He Wei didn't have much to say. After expressing his gratitude to Commander Xiao, he hung up the phone. Commander Xiao did his best to help him and got himself a tank company and two car companies. Regarding the tank company, He Wei vaguely remembered that during the historical Nanjing defense battle, the Chinese army did have a tank company that participated in the battle, and it seemed to be equipped with German No. [-] tanks?
In addition to this tank company, two car companies were also given. This is more useful than the tank company. To put it bluntly, if the situation really goes wrong, He Wei can completely take the troops to get into the car and run away. This Xiao The help given by the general was not small, and he had thought out all the options for himself.

When this unexpected situation happened, He Wei quickly gathered all the main officers of the battalion together and announced the bombshell news to everyone. As expected, when the officers of the secret service battalion learned about the incident, they were all indignant. Of course, He Wei Wei only said that it was an order from the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters, and did not inform these officers of Commander Tang and the Military Police Headquarters' secret plans.

"Damn it, what on earth is this headquarters thinking? If our battalion is thrown to the front, it won't be enough to fill the teeth of the Japanese, and our head will be kicked by a donkey."

The commander of the third company, Hu Zhaowu, turned red with anger and cursed loudly.

Fu Chen, deputy battalion commander of the Special Agent Battalion and commander of the First Infantry Company, was much calmer and began to analyze the reason: "I think this situation is wrong. Even if Commander He is famous, the Nanjing Garrison has enough There are more than a dozen divisions and various special forces, so why did Commander Tang focus on our special agent battalion and asked our special agent battalion to go to Tangshan to prepare for battle? This is very unreasonable."

"Furthermore, Commander Tang is also a veteran on the battlefield. Of course he knows that large-scale field offensive and defensive operations can only be carried out by division-level combat troops. This inexplicable naming of our special agent battalion is indeed inexplicable."

He Wei coughed lightly and quickly changed the subject: "Okay, now that this order has been issued, we soldiers can only obey the order. Now each company and platoon will be organized immediately and be ready to set off at any time. Wait until the military police headquarters sends us As soon as the car arrives, head to the artillery school immediately. Everyone, go down and get ready. Youcai will stay with Platoon Leader Lao Ge."

Even though they were full of resentment, orders could not be disobeyed. All the officers immediately went down to prepare. Only Lieutenant Li Youcai of the secret service battalion and Ge Guicai, leader of the baggage platoon, were left behind by He Wei. What was the purpose of leaving them behind? I saw He Wei frowning, touching his head, and pacing around.

"Sir, what's going on?"

Li Youcai asked tentatively.

He Wei left them behind because he actually had a secret matter to be entrusted to them. Ever since he went to Lingyuan New Village to perform his mission that day, He Wei had been concerned about the huge fortune of the traitor Wang Zhaoming. According to He Wei's original plan, When the war in Nanjing becomes tense, he can lead his troops to directly rob Wang Zhaoming's villa and seize the traitor's property. However, under the current situation, He Wei will definitely not have the time to make this money-free fortune. Buy and sell.

So, He Wei divided his troops into two groups and asked Li Youcai and Ge Guicai to do this. At this time, He Wei had nothing to hide and directly told them his thoughts.

Hearing that He Wei was going to rob Wang Zhaoming's villa, Ge Guicai was okay. Li Youcai turned pale and his legs were trembling. He Wei understood what was going on. Ge Guicai was a rough man who was a soldier and had no idea about the current domestic political situation. Don't understand.But Li Youcai was a real person who passed the Army Military School after graduating from high school. His vision, thoughts, and knowledge were simply not comparable to Ge Guicai's. Who was Wang Zhaoming?Now in terms of power, he is the second person behind the bald principal. In ancient times, what He Wei wanted to do was basically the same as openly robbing the emperor's palace.

"Okay, if you have money, let me tell you, this guy won't be able to survive for a few days. You also know that Wang and the Supreme Leader have been refusing to deal with him. Sooner or later, this guy will rebel. What we are doing now may not be What a bad thing, and to say the least, if the Japanese look at it, they will attack. Those financial resources will be left to the Japanese if they are not taken away. Instead of leaving capital for the enemy, it is better to take away the military resources for future army development. Zi, don’t worry, if something happens, I’ll take care of it.”

He Wei reassured Li Youcai. Hearing what He Wei said, Li Youcai calmed down a little. However, he was still a little worried about what He Wei said that he would be the one to take care of anything if something happened. After all, a person of Wang Zhaoming's level, If something really happened, a small major battalion commander might not be able to handle it.

After a while, Li Youcai suddenly showed a fierce look on his face, knowing that he had to do this today, so he tentatively asked He Wei: "Sir, this can be done, but Wang Zhaoming has a high position and authority. , with overwhelming wealth, his villa must be guarded by many people, and we will definitely be blocked when we pass by, is it okay then?"

At the end of his speech, Li Youcai made a knife gesture with his right hand and scratched his neck. Of course, He Wei understood what he meant and agreed immediately.

"You can just do it and act according to the opportunity. To be honest with you, I discovered this way of making money when I went on a mission that day. Wang Zhaoming's watchdogs made me angry at that time. Those people are nothing but They are just a bunch of dogs that run wild based on their master's power. Not only did they boss me around, but they also blatantly looked down on soldiers. I think they are traitors sooner or later. You can kill them if you should. But with the courage of those guys, they will wait until Japan When someone comes to fight, he may have run away long ago, and may not have the consciousness to look after his master's house. You all should be careful when doing this, and wear casual clothes to hide from others."

After receiving He Wei's permission, Li Youcai immediately calmed down and said: "Batalion Commander, since you said so, I have nothing to be afraid of. I just do it. But after the work is done, the property obtained should be How to deal with it?”

"In this way, you bring weapons and go do this. Don't come back after it is done. Go directly to the river with the finances. I will write a note for you. When you get to the river, show the note to the military police directly. They will arrange a boat for you. If anyone asks, just say that they are military supplies, weapons and ammunition from the secret service camp. I believe they will not make things difficult for you. After you cross the river, go to Pukou and find a place to hide first. Do everything possible to hide the things you robbed. Okay. Send a few more people to Pukou Railway Station every day to sign up as the Military Police Headquarters Urban Defense Special Agent Battalion, and I will find you when I cross the river with the main force of the battalion."

Li Youcai nodded and said, "I understand, battalion commander, but I just heard you say that there is a villa area near Wang's Mansion, where all wealthy people live, but is it true?"

He Wei nodded. He didn't understand what he meant at first, but later he came to his senses. Li Youcai just didn't do it, and if he did it, it would be a big deal. He Wei thought about it, and it was fine to do such a thing. It didn't make any difference if he did ten things, so He Wei immediately nodded to Li Youcai with a hint of meaning. Li Youcai was also a smart man, so he didn't ask any more questions after understanding what He Wei meant.

He Wei explained a few more words to Li Youcai and Ge Guicai, and finally arranged the matter clearly, and then asked Li Youcai and Ge Guicai to leave first with the troops arranged in the baggage. After seeing off these future "robbers", He Wei Immediately organize the whole battalion to make preparations for moving defense.

The soldiers reacted very quickly to the sudden order to move the defense. The big-headed soldiers were rough and did not have as much fussiness as the officers. They only knew how to execute the order, organize the equipment, carry ammunition, and gather for roll call. They did everything. Excellent, it took less than half an hour, and all the battalion and company officers were present, from guns to artillery, everything was ready, and they were waiting for the truck sent by the gendarmerie.

About two hours later, the two car companies promised by Commander Xiao arrived at the gate of Xiaolingwei's camp. However, the two car companies sent by the Military Police Headquarters were completely in accordance with the national army's baggage car regulations. The organization of the troops is organized.

Each car company has three car platoons, and each car platoon has three car squads. Each car squad has ten driving soldiers. The whole squad has five large trucks, and two car companies have more than 100 vehicles. Large trucks with dark green camouflage nets. These more than 100 large trucks are enough to carry the entire battalion of officers and soldiers of the special agent battalion.

The trucks equipped by these two automobile companies are also German trucks, the main military vehicles of the current national army's motor vehicles. The team is led by a major. After seeing He Wei, he immediately stepped forward to deliver the goods.

"Battal Commander He, our two companies of vehicles have been ordered to pick up your unit and will accept your command from now on."

He Wei nodded to the major and said, "Thank you very much, but can your more than 100 trucks carry enough fuel for my battalion?"

"Don't worry, Battalion Commander He. There is a lot of fuel for artillery tractors stored in the artillery school. Now that the fuel cannot be transported, it happens to be used by our unit."

"That's good. However, there is another tank company that will also be placed under our command. I wonder what the trend of this tank company is?"

"The company has received orders and they will drive to the artillery school on their own. They are expected to arrive soon."

After handing over all matters, He Wei immediately ordered to board the truck. All the officers and soldiers of the special agent battalion boarded the truck with all their equipment, and He Wei got on his Mercedes-Benz military off-road vehicle.

Suddenly, more than 100 German-made transport trucks, motorcycles from the secret service battalion, He Wei's military off-road vehicles, and more than 100 vehicles of various colors actually made all the officers and soldiers of the secret service battalion break away from the state of marching on their feet and realize motorization. Following He Wei's order, the vast convoy of cars galloped towards the Army Artillery School in Tangshan in a spectacular formation.
