Chapter 388 Deploy troops and generals
Masao Ueno was speechless. Staying on the warship all day, the soldiers really lacked any means of entertainment.
"General, excuse me for making fun of you, but the soldiers are too bored. The fishing boats dare not go out to sea, so they can only find some fun on their own."
"Hey, Ueno-kun, it's too boring to stay on the sea. You can let them take turns to go to the shore to have some fun."
"I dare not, General. General Hara Chuichi has repeatedly ordered that soldiers are strictly prohibited from going ashore during patrols."
Yokoyama Isamu looked at the endless coastline and nodded.
"Yo, General Hara Tadashi's requirements are very strict, but this is also the reason why your Fourth Fleet is so powerful. It's just hard work for you sailors."
Masao Ueno was moved, but in an instant he had some cruel thoughts.
"Your Excellency General, serving His Majesty the Emperor is our duty, so it is not hard. The Chinese fishing boats no longer dare to go out to sea, and there has been no reaction from the cold guns. Should we bombard their fishing village?"
"Mr. Ueno, don't be anxious. There is an old Chinese saying that goes, 'You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.' Tens of thousands of fishermen make a living by fishing. I don't believe we can hide from the cold guns. Once they come to the seaside to attack our First Division, your naval guns, my heavy artillery and bunkers will make them understand the cruelty of war."
"Hey, everything depends on the general. We are like the general's cannon. We will shoot wherever the general points."
"Okay, Ueno-kun, I'm busy now, so I'll go back first. If you need anything, just call me and I'll send it to you."
"Your Excellency the General, I would be very grateful to you for your trouble."
"Captain Jingsan, launch the landing craft and escort the general away."
"Hi"!
What Yokoyama Isamu and Ueno Masao didn't know was that while they were looking at the coastline and talking, Huang Shanhe and several special forces members were disguising themselves as fishermen to conduct reconnaissance on them. The route of the warship's cruising, the location of the warship's docking, and the appearance of the warship were all their targets of reconnaissance.
"Ma Liang, are you done with the painting?"
Ma Liang is a logistics soldier of the Third Regiment. He has average combat ability but a talent for painting. He likes to doodle and has made the logistics department a mess. He has been reprimanded many times. Everyone in the Third Regiment knows about this. Huang Shanhe received an investigation order and borrowed someone from the regiment commander.
"Battalion Commander, take a look, do they look alike?"
Huang Shanhe took the drawing board and his eyes suddenly lit up. It couldn't be said to be similar, it was exactly the same.
"Battalion Commander, why are you drawing this? Are you showing it to the regiment commander?"
"rule"?
"Captain, I was wrong. You should never ask questions that you shouldn't ask. The captain once said that curiosity kills the cat."
"Just keep it to yourself, kid. I'm telling you the truth. This is what the captain wanted. If you weren't an old man, I wouldn't tell you."
Ma Liang immediately perked up, looking a little smug and asking for a beating.
"Battalion Commander, this is what the captain wanted. If I had known earlier, I would have drawn it more carefully. Tell me, should I sign my name to let the captain know of my existence?"
"Sign it! The captain won't care about these trivial details, but let me tell you first, if the drawing is not right, be careful that the captain will personally deal with you, do you understand?"
"Don't worry, Captain. I was just joking. The drawing is very detailed."
At 24 o'clock at night on the th, Chen Feng and elites ended their night training on the water, climbed onto the shore, wiped their bodies, and put on their cotton clothes. The water in the pool was very deep and would be icy cold in the summer, but entering this season actually felt warmer than outside.
"Captain, the third regiment sent a secret report."
Seeing that Chen Feng had put on his clothes, Lu Feihu handed him an oversized envelope.
Chen Feng took the envelope back to the tent, checked it carefully, and tore open the seal. Inside were several sheets of letter paper and a roll of rough paper. He unfolded the rough paper and a warship appeared on the paper. On the warship was a message "Northward" in Japanese. Below the warship was written in Chinese: "Third Regiment Ma Liang". It was obviously drawn by a guy named Ma Liang.
Chen Feng still had some thoughts about Japanese warships and aircraft carriers in his mind. He closed his eyes and some memories came to his mind.
The Kitakami belonged to the Kuma-class light cruiser and was the first batch of 14-ton light cruisers of the old Japanese Navy. It didn't have much other uses, but Chen Feng clearly remembered that this light battleship had seven 50cm -caliber main guns, and the warship's crew should not exceed people.
After getting accurate information, Chen Feng started professional training from the fifth day. Special forces members were responsible for boarding the ship to clear out the Japanese troops, and marines followed to operate the warship. They had to drive the warship to the designated position so that they could hit the Japanese artillery group on Tiantai Mountain north of Arashiyama, as well as the artillery group on Kuishan Mountain south of Shijiu, while also taking care of the Japanese military camps at the foot of the two mountains.
The Marines previously belonged to the Zhenhai and Weihai series of the Fengtian warlords, and had no problem operating warships and firing artillery. Chen Feng felt deeply moved. He had rescued Shen Honglie and his Marines outside the city of Mengyin, but he did not expect that they would have a place to use their skills now.
On the night of the 25th, Chen Feng ended the training and began to deploy troops. The st Regiment on the Jinpu Line, the Guard Regiment, and the nd Regiment on the Longhai Line each dispatched a special operations battalion to participate in the battle against the st Division. The Lunan Detachment dispatched troops to assist in the defense of the Jinpu Line and the Longhai East Line.
Two battalions were drawn from Mengshan and two new regiments were drawn from Menglianggu. Together with the 3rd Regiment of the Yimeng Guerrillas stationed on the eastern line and the 2nd and 3rd Regiments of the New 4th Division, they would launch a full siege on the night of the 27th. The troops began to transfer on the 264th and must reach the attack position before the afternoon of the 27th. Chen Feng formulated the mission for this battle. He did not seek complete annihilation, but tried to consume the troops and ammunition of the 1st Division as much as possible. Special forces members of all sequences must play their due role and make arrangements in advance.
This is another large-scale joint operation. Just like the rebellion of the puppet troops on the Jinpu Line, whether it can be won depends entirely on whether the warships can be seized. Once the warship seizure fails, all the troops can only retreat along the same route. At that time, Chen Feng can only tap his toes in embarrassment.
On the afternoon of the 26th, after arranging many matters, Chen Feng set out with two hundred elite ship-seizing personnel. They first took a car to the mountains, then made a long journey to reach Lanshantou and lay in ambush, waiting for the dusk of the 27th to send the camera out to sea to seize the ship.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the convoy arrived at Heishuhe Village south of the mountains. After Chen Feng and the soldiers got off the car, the convoy turned around and went back.
"Captain, everything is ready here and we can set off at any time."
Huang Shanhe and several special forces members were already waiting. They were familiar with Lanshan Haikou and were the guides for this operation. They were also the ones who contacted the fishing boats going out to sea. Chen Feng didn't say anything nonsense and patted Huang Shanhe on the shoulder.
"Set off"!
Huang Shanhe watched the team go away with worry on his face. He had never dared to think about seizing a warship before as it was too dangerous. However, it was only possible with the captain leading the team. In Huang Shanhe's eyes, the captain was omnipotent. Not only Huang Shanhe, but in the eyes of all the Yimeng guerrillas, the captain was omnipotent. Even many officers and soldiers of the New Fourth Division thought so.
