Chapter 88: Traveling in the martial arts world, it is always better to have many skills! The secret
Quanyan Town, Taiyuan Province.
After hundreds of kilometers of marching, the soldiers of the 7th Army finally arrived in Taiyuan Province. It was not an easy journey for them, but fortunately, their hard work paid off and they arrived at Quanyan Town.
"How many people are here?" Chang Xingwang asked.
"Less than a thousand people," Chief of Staff Ding Yuanqing responded. "Because the radio would be exposed, we didn't carry any radios. We relied almost entirely on the originally planned marching route and then reunited at the agreed location."
"Then there aren't enough people. Wait one more night!"
Chang Xingwang said, "It is unlikely that we can take down the Japanese military airport with less than a thousand people. Moreover, we don't have heavy firepower. Only after we take down the airport and the transport division transports our soldiers' heavy weapons, can we have the absolute strength to compete with the Japanese headquarters army."
"Ah."
Ding Yuanqing nodded and said, "The Japanese have a large group of soldiers guarding this airport, more than a thousand Japanese soldiers. If we want to kill them, we must have twice as many troops as them. Because we don't have heavy weapons, we must have an advantage in numbers."
"Yes."
Chang Xingwang took out a pack of cigarettes and handed one to Ding Yuanqing, then lit one himself and said, "We are now surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops. We could easily die if we are not careful, so we have to be careful!"
After walking out of the bungalow, Chang Xingwang exhaled a puff of cigarette, and Ding Yuanqing followed closely behind him and said, "This battle is related to the young marshal's layout, and we must not be careless. We can die, but the mission must be completed."
"You, you."
Political Commissar He Zhengpeng shook his head and said, "Ideological awareness can replace me."
"Haha."
The three of them were joking right under the eyes of the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops. At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a major adjutant quickly came up to Chang Xingwang and said, "Division Commander, there are a group of people outside who say they are from the Intelligence Bureau."
"finally come."
Chang Xingwang snuffed out his cigarette and said, "Let's go out and take a look."
Outside, a group of about ten people dressed in civilian clothes stood under a big tree. One of the men checked the time. It was one in the morning, and they had arrived at their destination just at the designated time.
"You are finally here," Chang Xingwang walked quickly to the tree, saluted and shouted, "I am Chang Xingwang, the commander of the 7nd Infantry Division under the 72th Army."
"I have long admired my name."
The man who was checking the time also saluted and said, "Behind-the-Enemy Action Team, Team Leader Lin Feng."
"Hello, Team Leader Lin," Chang Xingwang said, "My boss said that after we arrive in Quanyan Town, an action team will contact us and provide us with equipment?"
"Yes."
Lin Feng responded, "I have smuggled your equipment here, but it is not the equipment for your entire division. I believe your superiors have also told you."
"Ah."
Chang Xingwang nodded in response.
"This time," Lin Feng said, "we brought 1500 rifles, 50 submachine guns, 30 light machine guns, 10 heavy machine guns, and 60 30mm mortars, plus 20 rounds of bullets, 2000 grenades, 500 artillery shells, and a radio. This is the limit of my behind-the-enemy-lines action brigade."
"Enough, enough."
Chang Xingwang said excitedly, "With these equipment, the rest is up to us!"
"Also," Lin Feng took out a piece of paper and said, "This is the deployment of troops at the Japanese military airport, as well as the surrounding Japanese garrisons. Take this, it will be a little help to our action team."
"Thank you very much."
Chang Xingwang took the blueprint and saluted Lin Feng, saying, "We are all family, so I won't say anything. After the war is over, I will treat you to a drink."
"It's a word."
The two saluted each other, and then Lin Feng led the team away. Chang Xingwang admired and respected these intelligence agents behind enemy lines. He looked at Lin Feng's back and said to himself, "I hope we all have a chance to fulfill this promise!"
Back in the bungalow, Chang Xingwang spread out the blueprint and said, "With this blueprint, the next battle will be much easier to fight. You see, most of the Japanese troops at the airport are deployed in the south, which is the location closest to the airport runway. There are also three Japanese regiments in the surrounding area. The nearest infantry regiment can arrive to support in 5 hours, so we have to deploy a detailed battle plan!"
"Ah."
Chief of Staff Ding Yuanqing nodded and said, "We now have the weapons and equipment. The battle will start the night after tomorrow. As for the battle plan, my idea is to use drugs."
"Drug?"
"That's right," Ding Yuanqing said. "During the march, I discovered that the enemy's transport convoys provide supplies to the local garrison every three days. During the day, I went to the town to inquire about it. The enemy at the airport is the same. The enemy delivers supplies every three days. Tomorrow afternoon is the time for the enemy to deliver supplies every three days."
"Do you want to take over this transport team?" Chang Xingwang asked.
"That's right," Ding Yuanqing responded. "Under the noses of hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops, it would be the most unwise choice for us to attack violently, so outsmarting is the best tactic, and this transport brigade is the breakthrough point."
"But if you poison someone, it will be easily discovered, right?"
Political Commissar He Zhengpeng said, "We may not be able to find so much colorless and odorless poison at once. After all, this is just a town. Even if we go to the county town, it is difficult to buy colorless and odorless poison. And we can't say for sure whether the Japanese will test for poison."
"Who said they wanted to buy poison?"
Ding Yuanqing smiled evilly, "It just so happens that my family used to run a medicine shop. One of the prescriptions here is a laxative passed down from our ancestors. It says that this laxative is very powerful and has the effect of causing diarrhea. Use it with caution!"
"Rhubarb, Magnolia officinalis, Glauber's salt..."
Ding Yuanqing wrote out a prescription and said, "Buy according to this. These are all very common medicinal herbs, and the price is very cheap. Buy as many as you can. I guarantee that the Japanese will be so exhausted that they can't stand up."
"Hahaha."
Chang Xingwang laughed and said, "You kid, you are indeed a good student of Chief of Staff Deng!"
After saying that, Chang Xingwang began to let the soldiers go to the surrounding towns to purchase these materials. Fortunately, they had been approved a lot of funds by the higher-ups, and they had a lot left after saving money along the way, so they still had enough money to buy medicinal materials.
Early the next morning, a large number of soldiers dressed in civilian clothes began to purchase medicinal materials. They did not return until noon. Packages of medicinal materials began to appear in front of Ding Yuanqing, and Ding Yuanqing began to let the soldiers prepare laxatives according to their ancestral prescriptions.
"Rhubarb, for purgation, clearing away heat and purging fire, cooling blood and detoxifying, the prescription says 1 gram, we tripled it, isn't it?" Ding Yuanqing continued, "Magnolia officinalis, for purgation and dispelling fullness, is the core of the prescription, 5 grams, also tripled. And then there's Glauber's Salt, for purgation and laxative, 10 grams also tripled, and..."
