Chapter 260 Six: Spy Wars ([-]) (Please subscribe, ask for a monthly ticket, ask for all kinds!!!)

After a year and a half of training, Chen Tiebao was no longer the fool who followed closely behind Chen Feng and yelled to kill him.In the more than a year, especially in the special operations division, Chen Tiebao has combined his super combat effectiveness with the concept of special operations, and has completed the transformation from ordinary soldiers to special operations members.

As the commander-in-chief of this rescue operation, Chen Tiebao is very aware of the importance of intelligence. Many combat experiences have made him understand that in addition to fighting economy, politics, and comprehensive national strength, wars are also important in local wars, especially in a single battle or operation. , the most important thing is to collect information.

Whoever has accurate intelligence will grasp the opportunity of the war, while the enemy will make a wrong step and be led by the nose in the end. This is the truth of knowing yourself, knowing your enemy, and winning every battle.

This time his special operations team rescued those Xiaobalus. On the whole, they are indeed at an absolute disadvantage. They only have a mere 1100 people, while the Japanese army stationed in Mancheng has as many as 19 troops, not to mention that they are only [-] meters away from Manchuria. In Baoding, which is [-] kilometers away, there is at least one reinforced wing that can reinforce the city at any time.

But Chen Tiebao believes that as long as there is accurate information and reasonable tactics, it is not difficult to complete the mission with the strong over the weak, and they have done such things before.

While Chen Tiebao and others were discussing the battle plan, Lao Wang, the owner of Xinmin Rice Store, walked in with a middle-aged man full of anger on his face.

Walking in front of Chen Tiebao, Old Wang introduced to Chen Tiebao: "Leopard. Let me introduce you. This is Principal Li, the station chief of the Eighth Route Army's underground transportation station in Mancheng, and also the political commissar of Mancheng guerrillas."

Principal Li hurried forward and said: "Captain Chen, we have just received an order from the head of the military region. The intelligence organizations in the city and all the guerrillas will fully cooperate with your department's actions. If necessary, please inform me immediately. But, from now on I will send two guerrillas to keep in touch with Captain Chen, what does Captain Chen think?"

Chen Tiebao said with a smile: "That's fine. We just arrived here. Those who are unfamiliar with the place still need the strong support of your department."

"This is what we should do. After all, Captain Chen, you are here to help us. I am ashamed to say that. We knew the day the Japanese army escorted the children from the nursery to Baoding. We also thought about intercepting the children halfway. It's a pity that the Japanese army took very strict precautions, and the soldiers they escorted were all a reinforced squadron, and there were also iron kings to clear the way. But we only had some light weapons, and we were powerless at all. We could only watch the children being escorted away from us. " Principal Li said angrily and ashamedly.

"It's not your fault. If you did something at that time, not to mention that you were not as strong as others, you would only get yourself involved. What's more, the children who were arrested this time were not very old. The children are bound to suffer casualties." Chen Tiebao said.

"Captain Chen, we have detailed information on the devils in the city, and it will definitely be of some help to you. If you want to know anything, just ask me!" Principal Li said.

"Principal Li, you are older than me, so I will call you Lao Li. Lao Li, how many troops do the devils in the city have, who is their commander, what is their personality, and how are the Japanese and puppet troops usually distributed? Can you tell us something?" Although he had already obtained detailed information from the Nationalist Government's Military Command Bureau, Chen Tiebao still wanted to verify it again. After all, the Eighth Route Army is a real local snake, and some things they know may not be known by the Military Command Bureau. After the investigation, it is still very beneficial for the special warfare team to confirm each other.

"Why not? The Japanese army has stationed a reinforced squadron of devils in Mancheng, about 320. According to what we know, most of these devils are recruits who have just been recruited. They are newly formed by the Japanese army. Some of the several garrison brigades are not very powerful, and the equipment is average, and the gap with the field troops is not ordinary. In addition, there is also a regiment of the puppet army stationed in the city, which belongs to the puppet North China Part of the Security Force. Although it is a regiment, we all know that the little devils are very strict against the puppet army, and a regiment actually has less than 800 people, which can barely be regarded as a reinforced battalion."

Then Principal Li said: "Because we often deal with this devil, we know this devil very well. The commander of the Japanese army in the city is called Kobayashi Jiro, with the rank of lieutenant assistant. He is a master tactician. We suffered a great loss, and were almost annihilated by this bastard. In order to completely control Mancheng, Xiaolin ordered the troops to recruit ordinary people to build fortifications for them. In just one year, Mancheng and the whole county 38 gun towers were built, and there were fifty or sixty strongholds, large and small. However, some time ago, I didn’t know which gods the little devil had provoked. Two-thirds of the Japanese gun towers were pulled out overnight. Now the Japanese army can only hide in the In the 12 strongholds in major towns such as Jiangcheng and Nanqi, the Japanese army stationed 37 troops in each stronghold, mainly consisting of a standard infantry combat squad of the Japanese army and an infantry platoon of the puppet army. The firepower configuration was 22 rifles, 1 Heavy machine guns, 2 light machine guns, and 2 grenade launchers. In addition, the Japanese army installed a telephone in each artillery building, and they could ask for help from Mancheng County at any time. In addition, there were about 430 to 460 Japanese and puppet troops stationed in the city. During the period, these people were usually divided into four parts, one part was guarding the barracks, and the number was about 220. There were 50 people in each of the two city gates, which were a standard combat squad of the Japanese army and a standard platoon of the puppet army. Luka, there is also a machine gun position equipped with 2 heavy machine guns. The third part is the city defense command stationed in the Japanese army. This part is mainly composed of Japanese troops. There are about 50 people, and there are another twenty or thirty The puppet army. The fourth part is the Japanese and puppet army patrolling the streets daily. There are eight groups in total, working in two shifts, with a total of more than 60 people.”

After finishing speaking, Principal Li paused and said again: "I forgot to mention the Japanese prisoner-of-war camp. The prisoner-of-war camps all over our city are not in the county town, but at the foot of the mountain outside the city. This prisoner-of-war camp is the largest in Hebei Province set up by the devils." The prisoner-of-war camp is divided into three districts. At its peak, more than [-] Chinese prisoners of war were held there. It used to be guarded by a devil infantry squadron in Baoding, but then I don’t know what happened. The prisoners in the prisoner-of-war camp suddenly They were all gone, so the devil infantry squadron also withdrew. Not long ago, the devil captured many Chinese prisoners of war, and then put them all into the prisoner-of-war camp, and sent some devil soldiers to guard it."

Of course Chen Tiebao knew where those prisoners of war had arrived. Now those people are in the eighth war zone. That time, the little devil took great pains to raise all the 7 prisoners of war. Not to mention these ready-made prisoners of war, even the farmers in the Northeast If they were captured, how could there be thousands of prisoners of war left here.

"Then do you know exactly how many ghost soldiers there are, Old Li?" Chen Tiebao asked again.

"I know, I know, but the situation there is a bit complicated. We have already cut off contact with the comrades inside. I don't know if it is accurate now."

"It doesn't matter, let us verify the rest, Lao Li, you just need to tell us the situation of the prisoner-of-war camps in Mancheng." Chen Tiebao said.

"Well, according to our previous investigation, there are 138 Japanese and puppet guards in the prisoner-of-war camp, of which 35 are devils, and the rest are puppet soldiers. And because the number of prisoners of war is not large, they are all concentrated in the prisoner-of-war camp. The first district, that's all I know, the rest depends on you." Lao Li said.

"Well, thank you, Lao Li. With this information, we have at least six levels of confidence that we can rescue the children. Now we only need the situation inside the prisoner-of-war camp. As long as we find out the situation there, we should not be able to rescue the children." Question." Chen Tiebao said.

"If you need the help of our guerrillas, just ask, we will definitely do our best." Lao Li said.

After sending Lao Li away, Chen Tiebao continued to discuss the battle plan with several combat team leaders of the special operations team. In the end, everyone felt that they had to figure out the situation inside the prisoner-of-war camp before they could act. Where, otherwise, even if you rush in, you may not be able to find those little guys, and on the contrary, you will expose your target.

But it is not easy to find out the situation of the prisoner-of-war camp. They have already been to the prisoner-of-war camp today. Guards, not to mention going inside for reconnaissance, even getting close to the prisoner-of-war camp is a very dangerous thing.

After much deliberation, Chen Tiebao felt that he should ask the military commander for help. Although those guys hate them, they are experts in doing these things. Besides, all the prisoners in that prisoner-of-war camp were prisoners of war, so they must have connections with it.

Chen Tiebao asked Xiao Zheng, who was in charge of the radio station, to contact the Baoding station of the military command immediately, and said that he wanted detailed information on the interior of the prisoner-of-war camp in the city, mainly the defense situation, and asked them for help.

Soon the Baoding Station of the Military Command sent a call back, saying that they would be given a day, and there would be news in a day.

At the same time, Koga Chiyoko also received a report from his subordinates, and learned that there was a mysterious force in contact with the Baoding Station of the China Military Command Bureau. The reply was given days later, and the station that sent the report was in Mancheng.

Based on the information collected before, Koga Chiyoko judged that the troops who contacted the Baoding Station of the Chinese Army Command this time must be the troops of the Eighth War Zone, but what surprised Koga Chiyoko was that she actually confronted the Eighth War Zone so quickly. on.
