Secret War Silent

The Japanese plane flew away.

The bombing is only a deterrent, it only affects the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the five theaters, at most it causes some casualties, and it cannot shake the will to resist the war.

"Hey, yes, I'm Wei Zhiming, the 401 team is fine, please tell Secretary Huang to De Gong, I will definitely protect the safety of team leader Fang..."

"Team leader, Major General Saburo Endo of the Japanese Army's Third Flying Regiment sent power to the destroyer squadron carrying out the bombing of Laohekou to inquire about the damage effect..."

"Immediately set up the antenna again and continue to work. The soldiers in front are fighting bloody battles. We must also race against time to provide them with intelligence support. If we decipher one more message, we can win one more battle ahead and avoid more casualties." Luo Yao ordered emphatically.

Looking at the tense 401 team, Wei Zhiming's eyes were moist and red. Regardless of whether they could decipher the message, these people came here sincerely to help the Fifth War Zone resist the Japanese invaders and came to fight side by side.

……

In the combat room of the Commander's Headquarters of the Fifth War Zone, Li Delin stood in front of a huge military map with his hands behind his back. Staff officers kept coming in and out, reporting the situation, and making corresponding changes on the map.

"Mr. De, the Japanese army's firepower is too fierce. We have tanks and planes to help out, and we have air superiority. We have too few heavy weapons. If we fight recklessly, the pressure will be too great." Chief of Staff Xu Zuyi reported standing behind Li Delin.

"Judging from the current offensive, the strategy of the Japanese army is very obvious. They want to drive away our main force, encircle and annihilate us in the Zaoyang area." Li Delin said in a deep voice.

"Yes, these two attacking Japanese troops are like two claws of a crab, rushing forward. If we abandon these areas, the Japanese army will take the opportunity to occupy these areas and cut off our connection with southern Henan and northwestern Shanxi. If we resist desperately, it will be right in the hands of the Japanese army, who will hold us tightly in this area and eat them up, no matter what we do, it is not the best choice." Xu Zuyi walked to the map, picked up the wooden stick, and gestured Said.

"What if we resist on the inside line and move the main force to the outside line to counter-encircle the Japanese army?" Wu Zhongzhi, chief of staff, suggested.

"Let's not talk about whether we can anti-encircle the Japanese army, but the troops marching and interspersed must hide from the detection of the Japanese aircraft in the sky. Also, we are facing nearly 11 elite Japanese troops. Our five war zones It sounds like a large number of troops, but the combat power is huge, and everyone knows that it might be true." Deputy Chief of Staff Wang pointed out directly.

"report!"

"Come in!"

"Mr. De, according to the analysis and judgment of the technical department, the Japanese army may carry out a large-scale bombing of Laohekou in the near future in an attempt to paralyze our command center." Huang Xuecun walked in and reported.

"Technical department, which technical department, it's ridiculous, why haven't I heard of it?" A lieutenant general and senior staff officer sneered, obviously not believing this so-called judgment.

"This technical department is the military technical department that was merged and established by the Military Commission this month. I don't think I need to explain what this department does?" Xu Zuyi explained directly under Li Delin's slight nod.

The existence of the 401 team is only known to a small group of people. Even Li Delin, the senior staff officer in the theater, asked to keep it secret.

Back then, there had been leaks in the Ninth War Zone, and he didn't dare to say that there was nothing wrong with his Fifth War Zone Command.

These senior generals of the national army will not leak secrets, but it is hard to tell the people around him, especially some people who do not have a strong sense of secrecy.

"Mr. De, I think it's still the tactics of the Suizao battle last year. Didn't the Japanese army take advantage of us? Let's fight with him. He has aircraft and cannons, but we also have vast mountains and rivers. Play hide-and-seek with him. As long as we are here for a day, we can pose a threat to Jiangcheng and make him sleepless!"

"Isn't this what the Communist Party does in guerrilla warfare?"

"What's the matter with guerrilla warfare? As long as the Japanese invaders can be defeated, it doesn't matter whether they belong to the Communist Party or the Kuomintang."

"The Japanese army has blocked me for nearly a year. The food and ammunition supplies we have obtained are very limited. Our army has no advantage in terms of military strength or weapons..."

There has always been a team, some are radical, and naturally some are conservative, and the opinions of all parties must be listened to, but the leader also needs to have his own opinions and judgments.

No one can say anything.

Li Delin remained silent all the time, he had to let others speak, and the commanders of the five war zones were not his only voice, not to mention that he commanded a unit of motley troops, in order to resist Japan, everyone could work together.

If this is a strong external pressure, these people have their own thoughts, he knows that they are not sages, and it is normal to have selfishness.

"Xuecun, accompany me for a walk in the garden."

"Hey, Mr. De." Huang Xuecun hurriedly agreed, followed Li Delin out of the war room, and followed him step by step.

"There were so many people inside just now, if you have anything to say, you can say it now." After coming out, Li Delin asked the guards to stay away, and then asked Huang Xuecun in a low voice.

"Team Leader Fang intercepted and deciphered the secret message of the Third Air Force Regiment of the Japanese Army. The Japanese army will bomb Laohekou Town at a saturated density tomorrow. You will immediately lead the commander to transfer!" Huang Xuecun said.

"What?" Li Delin was taken aback when he heard the words, and the saturation density bombing was going to blow up Laohekou Town into ruins.

"Now that they are transferred, what will happen to so many people in the town, as well as their houses and properties?" Li Delin asked.

"Team leader Fang said that in the name of an exercise, he issued a notice to ask everyone to evacuate from Laohekou Town tonight or early tomorrow morning or hide in the nearest air-raid shelter. Those who don't listen can use coercive means. If the house collapses, it can be rebuilt. If it's gone, then there's nothing left?" Huang Xuecun said.

"Is the information accurate?" Li Delin's face was uncertain. This is no small matter. Once the decision is made wrong, it will cause doubts from his subordinates, which will affect the coordination and command of the frontline operations.

"Team leader Fang said that if the Japanese army aviation had not changed the secret code, the information would be accurate, and their bombing had been verified beforehand." Huang Xuecun said.

Li Delin nodded, he believed that Luo Yao would not joke about this kind of thing, and lied about the military situation, and he would have to go to a military court.

"Immediately draft a notice to notify all the military and government agencies in Laohekou that they must withdraw from Laohekou Town before [-]:[-] tomorrow morning." Li Delin ordered.

"Is it in the name of a drill?"

"Well, but we must control the news, and don't let the people in the town know for the time being." Li Delin ordered.

"The common people..."

"Notify the secret service team, get up at three o'clock in the morning, their task is to drive the people out of the town from house to house, and tell all the people that this is a drill." Li Delin said.

"understood."

Evacuate now, if there are Japanese spies or traitors hiding in the town, will the Japanese planes come and return it?

Therefore, we can't do it with great fanfare now, we can only make preparations first.

"Does Team 401 have an evacuation plan?" Li Delin asked concerned.

"They carry a lot of military tents, as long as they provide the transportation means for evacuation, they can evacuate from the town as quickly as possible." Huang Xuecun said.

"Okay, send them a few carriages to help them evacuate, have you found a temporary settlement?"

"They seem to have made some preparations. I didn't ask about the specifics. There may be more than one spare resettlement site." Huang Xuecun said.

"How could this be?"

"Based on my understanding of Team Leader Fang, he is thoughtful, a person who takes one step forward, looks forward three steps, and thinks three more steps. He must have expected that after the war, the Japanese will bomb Laohekou. Arrange your subordinates to find a spare station." Huang Xuecun said.

"No wonder Jiansheng recommended this person to me. It's unbelievable that a young man has grown into Ruo Si." Li Delin was surprised.

"Didn't he have the reputation of 'Fox of Military Command'!"

Chapter 0750

Yay...

The wind is a little tight, the clouds are very low, and it looks like a mountain rain is about to come.

Suddenly, in the clouds in the southeast corner, a family of silver-gray Japanese fighter planes poked their heads out, and behind it, there were as many as dozens of Japanese military planes.

Like a locust, it flew towards Laohekou covering the sky and the sun.

But for a moment.

Hundreds of bombs fell on the town of Laohekou, and the sound of explosions came and went, and the buildings in the town collapsed in an instant.

After the Japanese plane flew a circle over Laohekou, it circled again and dropped hundreds of bombs. Just as the Japanese plane lowered its altitude and was about to drop the bomb again.

Ground anti-aircraft fire let out an angry roar.

Anti-aircraft machine guns fired into the air.

Bah!

With a crisp sound, a [-]-type light bomber was directly hit on the mailbox, and it exploded in the air. The plane instantly turned into a ball of fire. The pilot estimated that the possibility of surviving was zero.

Although the people in the town have already evacuated, and some dummy targets have been set up, the Japanese army must not find out that this is an empty city.

If they don't bomb here, they will definitely bomb other places. It's better to use an empty city to replace the ammunition on the plane.

In this way, other places can also reduce casualties.

At the northwest corner of Laohekou Town, on a mound, the Commander of the Fifth War Zone is temporarily stationed here.

Li Delin was standing on the highest point of the mound, holding binoculars and watching the Japanese planes bombing Laohekou Town, the headquarters of the Fifth Theater Command.

Even though he had gone through many battles behind him, seeing this town that was blown into ruins in an instant, he felt a little scared in his heart.

"Mr. De, there are only 60 sorties by enemy planes, and about 800-1000 bombs of various types were dropped. The exact number is still being counted!" the intelligence chief reported.

"This Japanese thinks highly of me, Mr. Li, and paid such a high price for me." Li Delin exclaimed.

"Section Chief Guo, how about the casualties?" Chief of Staff Xu Zuyi asked.

"There are currently no reports of casualties."

"It seems that we evacuated in time to avoid casualties. Otherwise, under such a bombing, I don't know how many people will die, and the loss of houses can be borne." Li Delin said.

"You're right, if you can spare a single person from the Japanese air raid this time, then it's your meritorious deeds."

"I don't dare to take the credit. The credit belongs to Team 401." Li Delin chuckled and said hastily, "I have to write to Chairman Jiang to give them credit."

……

After Baolin Temple, a thousand-year-old temple, was bombed into ruins by Japanese planes, it was not rebuilt. Firstly, there was no funds for reconstruction.

Most of the monks in the temple have temporarily gone to nearby temples to place orders.

Leaving the old abbot and Zhike Gu, they cleaned up the side hall that had not collapsed, lived in it, and took care of the temple by the way. When funds are available in the future, they must be rebuilt on the original site.

Luo Yao took a fancy to this place. Firstly, the terrain here is high, which is convenient for receiving radio signals. Secondly, after the bombing here, most of the devout men and women stopped coming.

It's also quieter here.

What's more, the Japanese bombed Baolin Temple because of the information that the Japanese got, saying that the headquarters of the five theaters were located in this Baolin Temple.

It turned out to be nothing more than false information.

The Japanese worship Buddha and generally do not attack temples, and the architectural features of temples are relatively obvious.

Therefore, it is unlikely that the bombing went wrong. It is very likely that the information was wrong and the thousand-year-old temple was destroyed.

This is a sin, and they will pay back some of it in the future.

Luo Yao led people up the mountain early in the morning, and the old monk naturally couldn't stop him. Luo Yao's new group had dozens of people, and they were protected by people armed with live ammunition. Obviously, the visitors were not good.

In Laohekou Town, those who can carry guns must have a lot of background, besides, the old monk also has good eyesight, and he can tell at a glance that these are soldiers, but they are just wearing casual clothes.

"Master, I'm sorry to bother you. As a last resort, I'll stay with you for a while. The subordinates of Li Delin, the commander of our Fifth War Zone, all we need is an open space. It would be even better if we could have a few undamaged rooms."

"Amitabha, it is convenient for others and for oneself. As long as the donor does not blaspheme the Buddha or destroy the buildings in the temple, everything is optional." The old monk clasped his palms together.

"What about killing?"

"It's fine if you don't stay in the temple." The old monk was stunned for a moment, then said immediately.

Luo Yao smiled slightly, the old monk was not a pedantic person, he knew how to be flexible, but he couldn't help feeling a little fond of him.

"Thank you, master." Luo Yao said, "If you don't mind, master, you can live with us from now on."

"A monk, don't dare to bother the donor."

"No trouble, no trouble, you just need to be a vegetarian." Luo Yao chuckled.

"Leader, the Sutra Pavilion has been severely damaged, and the Zhaitang is still usable, but it needs to be repaired. The monk's house has collapsed seriously. Even if it is repaired, it will take ten days and a half a month. As for the bell tower and other buildings, they are basically damaged. It has no value for repair, so it can only be demolished and rebuilt." Yang Fan has already inspected the entire Baolin Temple.

"Then put up the tent first, let's get down to business first." Luo Yao ordered.

"Ok."

Everyone started to get busy, cleaning up the ground, setting up military tents one after another, and doing some camouflage on them.

Then started moving in equipment, clearing out some usable furniture and stools from the ruins of the temple...

While busy and busy, I saw a large group of Japanese planes flying overhead and pounced on the old Hekou Town not far away.

Then, they saw that Old Hekou Town, where they had only lived for a week, fell into a violent explosion and sea of ​​flames.

Everyone was terrified. If they hadn't withdrawn, would they be blown to pieces if they stayed in the town at this moment?

Nobody knows the answer.

Because it's too cruel.

The bombing lasted not long, that is, more than ten minutes. The Japanese planes flew away quickly. Of course, they were not intact. Several aircraft were also slightly injured.

The location of the crash was not very far from Baolin Temple.

"Leader..."

"Tiger, organize a few people to go there, put out the fire on the wreckage of the plane, and bring the wreckage back to me." Luo Yao ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes."

Yang Fan greeted, and picked three people to follow him and ran towards the direction where the plane fell.

"Team leader, Mr. Li is on the phone."

"..."
