The Milky Way is Also a Grain of Sand
Chapter 348 Punishing the Traitors
On the night of June 16, 1938, a mixed squadron of the Special Forces Brigade took off from Jurong.
This time, they flew directly over Nanjing and headed towards Sishui.
This move surprised the headquarters of the Central China Expeditionary Army.
They knew that the National Revolutionary Army here in Jurong had been secretly developing.
But they didn't expect that this team could now fly at night.
Although they had many planes, they did not yet have the conditions for night flight.
Because at night, these planes could not locate themselves at all.
Since the fighters could not take off, they could only look at the night sky.
They could only guess what kind of plane it was and where it was going.
This time, Pan Yongshan led a fleet of Long Teng II fighters manufactured by the Special Forces Brigade itself.
A full thirty-five fighters and one transport plane flew over this time.
After an hour's flight, the planes had entered the Sishui area.
First, a call came from the ground via radio, and then they saw two fire dragons burning on the ground.
The two fire dragons, each thousands of meters long, were so conspicuous in the dark night.
After confirming with the ground that this was the landing site.
Pan Yongshan led the fleet to land one after another.
This was the largest operation since the establishment of the Special Forces Brigade's flying squadron.
Many of the pilots participating in this mission were trained by the Special Forces Brigade itself.
Amidst the leaping bonfire, Lin Fan counted the planes landing; a total of thirty-five fighters and one transport plane landed.
Twenty of these planes were to be stationed here for a long time.
Fifteen fighters and one transport plane were to return to Jurong.
As the planes landed, the soldiers of the Lunan Detachment guarding the airport were all very excited.
Most of the soldiers in the Lunan Detachment had joined not long ago.
They had not been to Jurong, nor had they seen the scale of the Special Forces Brigade's army in Jurong.
They never expected that the Lunan Detachment would have planes one day.
These soldiers thought, "The artillery regiment of the Lunan Detachment has artillery, it has tanks, and now it even has planes.
What else don't they have?"
Lin Fan was not in a hurry to rush back overnight.
He planned to wait two days before flying back from here.
Pan Yongnian and the others departed from Jurong at nine o'clock sharp.
They landed at ten o'clock sharp.
In just one hour, these planes flew four hundred and eighty kilometers.
Such a flying speed was already very fast in this era.
The current fastest record for aircraft was six hundred and seventy kilometers.
But that was achieved by Howard Hughes, who tried to reduce the weight of the plane as much as possible in order to set a record.
It was different for the Long Teng II, which was fully loaded with live ammunition and ready for combat at any time.
For the Lunan Detachment, the biggest difficulty was the lack of anti-aircraft guns.
It was somewhat difficult to protect these planes.
Moreover, the Sishui airport was just outside the city, making it difficult to keep it secret.
Lin Fan had already asked people to find a suitable location in the Yimeng Mountains.
To build a new airport.
At the same time, he also ordered all the counties controlled by the Lunan Detachment to build a runway.
Speaking of building runways, when the Sishui airport was being built.
The people came to help out of friendship.
It was because the Lunan Detachment had wiped out the bandits,
And they had to pay less protection money, so they came with gratitude,
Thinking they were coming to do corvée labor.
But after arriving at the airport to work, they discovered:
Not only were the tools they used provided by the Lunan Detachment,
But the food was also provided by the Lunan Detachment, and there was even a meat dish every day.
Although there were only six or seven slices of meat in a bowl, it was still meat!
They could eat as much rice as they wanted.
And they even got paid every day after work.
On the first day, less than five hundred people came to work.
On the second day, the number of people who came to work suddenly increased to five thousand.
Young people, old people, and women from all the villages and settlements came.
This also greatly increased the speed of the airport construction.
Lin Fan pointed to the base area on the map.
And said to Captain Pan Yongshan:
"There are few anti-aircraft guns here.
If you encounter an irresistible situation, fly the plane in this direction.
Heavy machine guns are installed on both sides of the mountains here.
Two anti-aircraft guns are also here.
There is a runway built between the two mountains.
And there are洞库(dòngkù, cave shelters), which should be able to protect them."
Captain Pan said sternly, "Brigade Commander, rest assured! Our planes are faster than the Japanese planes.
They are easy to operate and have more machine guns.
If we really fight the Japanese, we will only make them run away."
Of course, Lin Fan was happy to hear him say that.
The longest flying distance of the Special Forces Brigade's fighters was now only seven hundred and eighty kilometers.
For economic cruising, the flight time in the air was two hours.
The combat radius could only be within two hundred and fifty kilometers, and no more than three hundred kilometers at most.
Flying any further would make it impossible to return.
Therefore, the main task of this batch of planes in this direction was still to protect the Lunan base area.
The Lunan Detachment established eleven county base areas behind enemy lines,
And also sent many planes over.
This news was reported by Chiang Kai-shek's agents lurking in these counties.
Seeing this intelligence, Chiang Kai-shek's face turned livid.
It's not scary to not recognize people, but it's scary to compare people.
Lin Fan, this brigade commander, came to Lunan with four companies.
In just a few months, he not only built a team of nearly 20,000 people,
But also established a base area with eleven counties in the heart of the Japanese-occupied area.
And Gui Yongqing, the general whom he valued most and specially sent to Germany for further study,
Was the commander of the most elite Central Teaching Regiment during the Battle of Nanjing.
During the retreat, he simply notified by phone and took the lead in leaving.
In the Lanfeng Campaign a few days ago, he ran away again.
How could this not make people feel sad!
Just a few days ago, Chiang Kai-shek's First War Zone and Fifth War Zone fought a battle that could not possibly have been lost.
The Japanese 14th Division went deep alone, invading Lanfeng City.
Twenty thousand Japanese soldiers entered the pocket of 200,000 regular troops.
Both sides had their own strengths in equipment; the Japanese had more artillery.
The Nationalist army had stronger tanks.
This was a battle that Chiang Kai-shek believed could not possibly be lost; if this battle was lost, it would be an international joke.
And at the end of the Battle of Xuzhou, if they could annihilate a Japanese division to end the battle,
It would be a great encouragement to the confidence of the entire country and nation in the war of resistance.
But he was greatly disappointed; the Japanese 14th Division actually escaped the encirclement completely due to the Nationalist generals' fear of death and reluctance to fight.
On the contrary, they surrounded the Nationalist army.
Fortunately, the Nationalist army had become experts in retreat.
So they did not suffer much loss.
But the confidence of the whole nation in the war of resistance was once again severely damaged.
The key was that Gui Yongqing, the general he valued most, was the first to run away.
At the same time, there was also the most elite main force division of the Nationalist army, the 88th Division.
This division was the old unit of Lin Fan's team.
If Li Zhongren had not given Lin Fan the designation of a special brigade from the Fifth War Zone later,
Lin Fan would still belong to the 88th Division.
The more he compared such people and such things, the more Chiang Kai-shek felt heartbroken.
At this moment, Bai Chongxi sent over a telegram:
"This is from Brigade Commander Lin Fan of the Special Forces Brigade, a special request that you must read it yourself."
This was the first time this had happened.
He was thinking about the Special Forces Brigade here, and Lin Fan sent a telegram.
So mysterious, could it be...
Chiang Kai-shek thought of a possibility; only if Lin Fan had figured it out,
And wanted to closely follow his footsteps, would he be so secretive!
After all, it was not easy to have a foot in both camps.
If Lin Fan really sent a telegram to express his loyalty,
Then in the upcoming Battle of Wuhan, he would give him an army corps command.
And let him defend one side.
Chiang Kai-shek excitedly opened the telegram:
President Chiang,
The Japanese are going up the river, and the Madang Fortress is extremely important.
In the face of the great enemy, be sure to order the commanding officer of the garrison to hold the position.
Do not move half a step.
Remember! Remember!
This telegram was so nonsensical.
Chiang Kai-shek felt insulted.
He handed the telegram to Bai Chongxi to read:
"Look at what he's saying?"
After reading the telegram, Bai Chongxi said in confusion:
"According to his ability, he should certainly know how much we value the Madang Fortress.
Recently, in order to strengthen the understanding of the united front against the Japanese,
Li Yunheng, the commander of the 16th Army and commander of the Madang Fortress area, is convening the heads of townships and
Village chiefs and deputy officers and platoon leaders of the 16th National Army to conduct military and political training.
The training is scheduled for two weeks, and it has been going on for a week now."
"How did he know this information in Sishui?" Chiang Kai-shek's focus was different.
Bai Chongxi was also unclear.
But he was somewhat worried about the defense of the Madang Fortress.
Instead of preparing for war in the face of the enemy,
They were playing this kind of political trick; Bai Chongxi was also somewhat worried.
Fortunately, only the deputy officers and platoon leaders of each unit were participating in the training.
The commanding officers and grassroots squad leaders of each team were still on the front line, so there should be no problem.
And he did not dare to have the slightest objection to this kind of thing.
Chiang Kai-shek did not speak, and no one dared to say that Commander Li Yunheng was doing something wrong.
Wasn't it necessary to unify thinking and understanding before fighting the Japanese?
During the study period of Commander Li's military and political training class, the Japanese vanguard had arrived at Madang.
And they continued to test the minefields deployed on the water surface of the fortress with shooting.
At the same time, they also shot at the trenches and fortifications of the fortress,
They were testing the truth.
Soon, Commander Li's training class reached the graduation stage.
On the afternoon of June 23, Commander Li notified that the graduation ceremony of the military and political training class would be held at 8:00 a.m. on June 24.
He required the commanding officers of each unit to attend at that time, and there would be a meal afterward.
This news was simultaneously transmitted to the Japanese Bota Detachment.
At 4:00 a.m. on June 24, the Japanese began to attack the Madang Fortress.
The commanding officers of all positions throughout the Madang Fortress went to attend the graduation ceremony of the military and political training class.
In the face of the Japanese attack, each team had no command.
They could only fight on their own.
The phone calls from all over to report to superiors could not find anyone.
All the commanding officers had gone to the graduation ceremony.
The Japanese successfully landed, occupied the beachhead, and quickly launched an attack on the remaining positions.
The officers and soldiers guarding the Madang Fortress tried their best to resist while constantly sending telegrams to the rear for help.
It was not until 6:00 p.m. that the news that the Madang Fortress had been captured by the Japanese at three positions reached Chiang Kai-shek.
At this time, he remembered the telegram sent by Lin Fan.
He immediately ordered Li Yunheng, the commander of the 16th Army, to send troops to reinforce and recover the lost land.
Commander Li was originally concealing the matter because his graduation ceremony had caused such a big omission.
But now he could not hide it anymore.
He immediately ordered the 167th Division stationed in Pengze to rush to reinforce.
After Lin Fan's telegram was sent, Bai Chongxi had been paying attention to the situation in Madang.
Today, when he heard that he was going to send the 167th Division to reinforce Madang,
He immediately sent a telegram ordering: there are only sixty miles from the main road to the Madang Fortress.
He suggested that the entire division march on the main road.
Xue Weiying, the commander of the 167th Division, considered that there might be Japanese snipers if they went on the main road.
He ordered the entire division to advance on the small road.
As a result, they got lost after only one hour on the small road.
The fortress that Chiang Kai-shek had originally planned to block the Japanese for a month fell in three days.
Lin Fan was stunned when he heard the news of the fall of Madang in Jurong.
He could not understand why such a situation would occur when he had clearly reminded them.
Now, the development of the Special Forces Brigade in Jurong was already making him a little too busy.
Machines shipped from across the ocean by the Americans arrived at the port every day.
The Japanese did not dare to offend the Americans now, so they did not dare to interfere with their freighters docking in Dangtu and Wuhu.
In order to avoid misunderstandings, the Japanese warships secretly passed this section at night.
And they secretly passed from the north bank of the river.
These mechanical equipment began to be installed, and Li Xian had long been too busy to handle it alone.
Fortunately, he had recruited many people under his command, and he could temporarily cope with the situation by assigning work to everyone.
These days, Lin Fan was organizing manpower to develop jet engines.
The information was all found by Shang Yuegui in the United States.
Currently, all jet engines on the market cannot be used on aircraft.
This means that Lin Fan needs to continue to improve the information he has obtained before he can use it on the latest aircraft.
The reason why Lin Fan was so anxious was, of course, because Howard Hughes was coming soon.
If you want to get benefits from such a person, you have to show him something.
Otherwise, he will definitely not invest.
What Lin Fan wanted now was Howard Hughes's large transport aircraft design and manufacturing technology.
And he also wanted to let him build a factory here.
Lin Fan was also desperate for this project.
He slowed down the research on his own rocket launchers and 6.5mm gun family.
Using 6.5mm bullets was Lin Fan's compromise with reality.
Now, the entire Special Forces Brigade was using Japanese equipment, and most of the bullets were 6.5mm.
In order to avoid logistical supply chaos after the successful trial production,
And also to be able to use Japanese ammunition captured on the battlefield,
The new weapons developed by the Special Forces Brigade should use a 6.5mm caliber as much as possible.
These guns included 6.5mm submachine guns, sniper rifles, light machine guns, and heavy machine guns.
In order to reduce the difficulty of carrying weapons as much as possible, heavy machine guns could be used as light machine guns without using a fixed tripod.
These weapons were what the Special Forces Brigade's Weapons Research Institute had been trying to manufacture during this time.
Lin Fan had already drawn the drawings, but he was limited by the Special Forces Brigade's processing equipment.
For the time being, these weapons could only be manufactured by hand to test the effect.
The real assembly line production workshop was being installed with machines.
These machines were only recently shipped to the shore.
What Lin Fan valued most was still the meeting with Howard Hughes.
The richest man in this era, the most famous playboy in the United States.
He was very familiar with aircraft engines, and he himself was an inventor.
The Marvel hero Iron Man in later generations was based on him.
Lin Fan also agreed to customize aircraft from him.
Because in this person's hands, he would be embarrassed to leave the factory if it was not a good plane.
But Lin Fan was still the helm of the entire Special Forces Brigade after all.
He not only had to manage military technology, but also civil technology.
The fungus cultivation technology that Lin Fan taught before the year had now been supplied to large cities such as Shanghai, Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Wuhan, Chongqing, Guangzhou, and Hong Kong.
The Japanese knew very well that these delicious mushrooms, phoenix tail mushrooms, and enoki mushrooms came from the Special Forces Brigade.
And they had to pinch their noses and admit it.
They even specially opened a special channel for these fresh vegetables.
They issued special passes to the personnel who delivered these mountain treasures.
They required the delivery personnel to be fixed, the route to be fixed, and the receiving personnel to be fixed.
This was to reduce the difficulty of their daily inspections.
These delicious fungi could be continuously supplied.
Of course, the price was still the price of mountain treasures, which made the Special Forces Brigade's Academy of Agricultural Sciences a very profitable department.
Lin Fan was back, and Chen Sichuan finally unloaded the heavy burden on his shoulders.
During the three months that Lin Fan was away, Chen Sichuan did not dare to slack off for a day.
In three months, he had walked through the various counties of the Special Forces Brigade in Jiangnan three times.
This made his fiancée a little anxious.
Chen Sichuan was also waiting for Lin Fan to come back to preside over his wedding.
Lin Fan very much approved of this kind of thing.
Lin Fan wanted to turn this wedding into a group wedding, and specially notified that:
Military, political soldiers, and employees in the Special Forces Brigade's jurisdiction should sign up to participate in the group wedding.
There were actually one hundred couples willing to participate in the group wedding.
This wedding was held on a very large scale, and many people from all walks of life came to participate.
Not only were there representatives sent by the various regiments of the Special Forces Brigade, but also officials sent by the various counties,
And also the American friends who had just arrived in Jurong these days.
They had just arrived here and were very curious about everything here.
Gene was a technician in a steel company.
He heard that the salary here in Jurong was twice as high as in the country.
In fact, when he found this job, he had been unemployed for a month and a half.
During this month and a half, he had been looking for a job.
No one was willing to hire him.
The employment environment in the United States was very bad now, and not only him, but also many people were unemployed.
Most of these Americans who came to Jurong were unemployed workers.
Originally, Gene thought this was a very backward place.
But when he arrived here, he found that:
The industry here was indeed backward, but the people here always had smiles on their faces.
When they saw these foreign faces, no one came up to watch.
The food here was very delicious, and the accommodation arranged for them was also specially built.
Everything made them very satisfied.
They were also guests of honor at today's wedding.
Gene said in a letter to a friend: he had found paradise here.
Each regiment sent people to participate in this group wedding.
But Lin Fan gave an order: all the commanding officers of the teams were not allowed to attend, and the combat readiness level of the entire brigade was raised to Level II.
Lin Fan did not want to repeat the mistakes that the Nationalist army had just made in Madang here.
After holding a group wedding in Jurong, in the base area of the Special Forces Brigade in Jiangnan,
It was as if spring had suddenly arrived, and group weddings began to be held in every county.
Every place invited Lin Fan to be the officiant.
This kept Lin Fan very busy.
Fortunately, in the base area of the entire Special Forces Brigade, every county had an airport runway.
Lin Fan drove a plane to get there, and even the longest distance from Jurong to Deqing only took half an hour.
Howard Hughes had not yet arrived, but Lin Fan met a heavyweight.
Chiang Kai-shek's saber - Dai Li came to Jurong from Wuhan.
When he saw Lin Fan, he greeted him with a smile.
He greatly praised Lin Fan for the things he had done since the war of resistance.
Lin Fan knew in his heart: people like Dai Li would not come to the door if nothing happened.
Even if he was active nearby, he would not come to him unless it was a particularly important matter.
Lin Fan was not used to beating around the bush, and said with a smile, "Mr. Dai! I am a soldier,
A very pure soldier.
Tell me straight what's going on; if I can do it, I will do it immediately.
If I can't do it, I will find a way to do it.
If I don't have the strength and can't do it, I will never do it recklessly."
Hearing what Lin Fan said,
Dai Li then said, "I can't interfere in the affairs of the main battlefield.
I am just watching some things in the enemy-occupied area.
Now there are not only many traitors in the enemy-occupied area,
But they are also particularly rampant, which has set a very bad example.
Many people who don't know the truth listen to the propaganda of the traitors.
This is very detrimental to the unified front of the entire nation's resistance against Japan.
I would like to ask Brigade Commander Lin to take action and punish the traitors in Nanjing, Shanghai, and Hangzhou.
In addition, the legal tender is currently being deliberately targeted by the Japanese in Shanghai.
If this continues, it will be very harmful to the economy of the entire country.
I heard that Brigade Commander Lin has a way to deal with this, and I would also like to ask Brigade Commander Lin to intervene."
Lin Fan thought for a while: "It is our duty to punish traitors!
Does Mr. Dai have any relevant information?
If the Special Forces Brigade only starts collecting information now, it will take a long time.
Letting those traitors live for one more day is a shame for us soldiers."
Dai Li nodded: "I have some lists of information, but I don't know how much it can help Brigade Commander Lin."
After speaking, he took out a thick stack of information from his carry-on bag.
He said somewhat embarrassedly: "There are a lot of people, thirteen."
He was explaining, after all, Lin Fan now had nearly 40,000 regular troops under his command, and if you add the militia and security regiments, there should be 100,000 troops.
Letting such a person take a personal risk, Dai Li himself felt a little embarrassed.
If Lin Fan had any mishap in the operation, the impact on the entire war of resistance would be very great.
At least, no one knows whether such an enemy base area on the edge of Nanjing can be preserved.
After all, Lin Fan only said that one sentence at the Xuzhou Military Intelligence Station.
He said somewhat silently:
"In order to assassinate these thirteen traitors,
We have lost no less than 200 of our best agents.
Now the protection of these people is getting tighter and tighter.
The possibility of success in the future is getting lower and lower."
Lin Fan said with a smile: "The people under Mr. Dai's command sacrificed on the secret front of the war of resistance.
They sacrificed for the country, for the people, and for resisting aggression.
They died heroes, and we will always remember them.
We are willing to take over the unfinished matters of the heroes.
And complete their legacy.
Please rest assured, Mr. Dai, we will definitely do our best.
In addition, I don't understand economic matters very well.
How do I need to operate this?
Please also teach me, Mr. Dai."
Dai Li looked at Lin Fan's serious and inquiring look,
And said somewhat strangely:
"You have made this base area in Jiangnan so good,
Don't you really know how to mess it up?
It is difficult to do one thing well, but destruction is easy."
Lin Fan said again: "What Mr. Dai requires is to stabilize the legal tender exchange rate,
If I think about it, as long as the Nationalist army can defeat the Japanese in the Battle of Wuhan,
It will definitely stabilize."
Dai Li smiled bitterly: "This needs to be fought to know.
But the legal tender exchange rate,
Is related to the domestic situation,
But the most important thing is the several banks of the Japanese in Shanghai.
They are selling legal tender in the foreign exchange market on a large scale."
Lin Fan did not understand: "The Central Bank does not issue legal tender to the outside.
The legal tender in the hands of the Japanese will not be endless, right!"
Dai Li's expression changed slightly:
"We have not had any major progress in the domestic war.
This has a bit of an impact on the security of the country's currency.
The Japanese are shorting the market in a high-profile manner.
They are borrowing legal tender everywhere with foreign exchange and gold as collateral,
Suppress the legal tender,
Buy back the legal tender at a low price and return it.
Making huge profits from the price difference and continuing to suppress it.
In order to stabilize the exchange rate, we have borrowed 60 million pounds from the United Kingdom to buy legal tender in the market.
But many international and domestic consortia are also following suit,
Shorting the legal tender together.
The 60 million we borrowed will not last long."
Lin Fan asked: "Is it possible to stabilize the foreign exchange market if the Japanese have no money?"
"Yes! Yes! Let the Japanese have no money!" Dai Li was a little excited.
He finally made Lin Fan understand.
He knew very well: Lin Fan had once taken a special company and robbed the Japanese bank vault.
One of his purposes for coming this time was to let Lin Fan do it again.
But this time, he wanted Lin Fan to do it more obviously.
"It is very important for the Japanese to have no money.
What is more important is that the people of Shanghai should know this news.
This will have an impact on the market."
Lin Fan smiled: "You are going to rob it openly!"
Dai Li quickly said: "There are at least 5,000 Japanese soldiers and 30,000 puppet troops in Shanghai now.
If the Japanese expatriates are organized, they can at least make up a team of 50,000 people.
It is impossible to rob it openly."
He did not want Lin Fan to be trapped in Shanghai because of this.
On this point, his opinion was somewhat different from Chiang Kai-shek's.
He felt that people like Lin Fan should at least live to the victory of the War of Resistance.
Lin Fan was just saying it casually, and asked again:
"Do you have the bank's information?"
"Yes!"
Another thick stack of information was taken out, this information was twice as much as before.
"This is the detailed information of 72 Japanese banks in Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanjing, and Suzhou.
It includes the addresses of these banks, the previous design drawings.
The current list of managers."
"The previous design drawings? Don't you have the current ones?" Lin Fan asked.
"No! Now, our people can only go to these places to deposit money.
We can't even get in as an employee.
And there are too many traitors now.
It is very difficult to carry out work in these places."
Lin Fan understood.
He knew that the poorer people were, the fewer things they could cherish.
In the end, they may only have integrity.
As long as all the poor people are guided a little, they can work hard for integrity.
As for getting rich, they have too many things to cherish. If the price they have to pay is too high,
These people would rather kneel down and beg than resist.
They may even help deal with the people who resist.
"I can't guarantee that I will go to all 72 banks.
How many can be done depends on the situation at the time."
Lin Fan said with a smile.
Dai Li also said with a smile: "Just do what you can. As long as you can complete the main three in Shanghai,
You will be able to achieve your goal.
These extra ones are just a little thought from our Military Intelligence Service.
How much you can receive depends on Brigade Commander Lin himself.
If the Special Forces Brigade can really receive all 72 banks once,
I think the Special Forces Brigade will definitely not have to worry about the funds for these constructions recently."
In fact, he also wanted to take over a few banks.
But he knew the strength of the Military Intelligence Service: it was always impossible to successfully assassinate a few traitors.
Not to mention such work that required the close cooperation of many people.
Lin Fan stood up: "I will do it as soon as possible."
Seeing Lin Fan stand up, Dai Li knew that he was being sent off.
He also stood up and said: "Everything is up to you!
I am waiting for Brigade Commander Lin's good news in Wuhan."
After sending Dai Li away, Lin Fan immediately picked up the information on cleaning up traitors and looked at it.
The one placed on top was the head of the puppet Nanjing Restoration Government that the Japanese had just supported.
Lin Fan felt that it was a loss to let these traitors live for one more day.
Liang Hongzhi, the President of the Executive Yuan, Chen Qun, the Minister of Internal Affairs, and Chen Lu, the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
These three were placed at the top.
Looking at the sky, it was still morning.
Lin Fan stood up and ordered Feng Junya:
"Take a special company, we are going to Nanjing."
Feng Junya was suddenly stunned:
"Brigade Commander! It is too dangerous for you to go to Nanjing.
Just let me do anything."
Lin Fan said with a smile: "Dai Li just sent a batch of information,
And came to me to collect the bill.
Today I will go to Nanjing and give them a reassuring pill.
He will be relieved when he returns to Wuhan."
Feng Junya immediately understood:
"This is to let the Special Forces Brigade eliminate the traitors."
"Brigade Commander! I will take people there!"
Lin Fan said with a smile: "You take people, we will go together, bring the newly developed rocket launcher, single-barreled."
Feng Junya's artillery regiment has now equipped ten twelve-barreled rocket launchers.
Such weapons cannot be brought into Nanjing City.
Feng Junya knew that he could not persuade Lin Fan, so he had to report to Li Xian.
He also summoned a company.
Lin Fan asked: "Which route should we take to sneak into Nanjing?"
Feng Junya said: "Go from the Yangtze River and land at the Xiaguan Wharf.
The Japanese will search when you enter the city."
Lin Fan understood.
"Can we go today?"
"Yes!"
"Let everyone prepare, and leave in an hour."
Lin Fan and the others quietly went out from Moling Pass and arrived at the riverside.
Fifty-four people were sitting in three small boats drifting downstream.
There were many boats sailing down the river.
There were boats in front, behind, left, and right.
Feng Junya explained: "Our mines in Dangtu have started to operate.
We have recruited a lot of workers.
Many of them came from Nanjing.
These workers sometimes want to go home, so they take a boat back.
The Japanese now only charge these people an entrance fee every time they enter and exit the city.
They no longer care about them.
We are just pretending to be workers going back."
Lin Fan understood.
Looking at the dressing and figures of his group, they did look a bit like miners.
Lin Fan asked: "What if the Japanese send people disguised as workers to enter the mine?"
Feng Junya said with a bitter smile: "This is unavoidable, we can't tell the difference at all.
As long as they don't cause damage, there will be no flaws."
Lin Fan was silent: water that is too clear has no fish.
It was also impossible to completely eliminate spies and other forces from the mines and factories under the Special Forces Brigade.
He can only manage the important factories well and check the workers more often.
Usually concentrate the workers to study more.
People's hearts are changing, and it is impossible to have no problems at all.
Just make sure there are no major mistakes in general.
Just like his group, entering Nanjing City was indeed very smooth.
After paying the money and taking out a pass that was very easy to forge, they went into the city.
Standing at the city gate were not Japanese soldiers, but a few puppet soldiers.
Only one puppet soldier stood at the city gate, and when someone went in,
He looked at these people putting money into the basket and then glanced at the pass.
He didn't even look at the passes of some people.
Not far away, a group of puppet soldiers were gathered around a table.
They were shouting something, and it could be seen that they were very involved.
Lin Fan and his group entered the city,
The reason why Lin Fan was in such a hurry to enter Nanjing City today was because Chen Lu, the Foreign Minister of the puppet Nanjing Restoration Government newly established under the support of the Japanese, happened to be in Nanjing.
The Japanese were very protective of these big traitors and sent a full twenty senior bodyguards.
These people not only included the sharpshooters and iron guards of the original Northeast Army who were specially protecting the commander and young commander,
There were also Japanese kendo masters.
It can be seen from the information sent by Dai Li that Chen Lu, this big traitor, worked in the former Presidential Palace.
At night, he rested in a house in Nanjing.
There was only one lane that could be entered here.
At the entrance of the lane, there was a small team of thirteen Japanese soldiers guarding it.
