Chapter 715: Zheng County is out of ammunition and food
Guan Gu Shenqi took the file bag and said simply: Provide as many supplies as possible to the defenders of Zheng County!
Guan Gu Shenqi smiled in his heart. It seemed that the Japanese in Zheng County had run out of ammunition and food, otherwise they would not have allowed him to formulate the so-called airdrop plan.
"Mr. Deputy Minister, has the land transportation into Zheng County been cut off now?"
"Well, that's true, so what you need to consider is the airdrop plan! The North China Front Army can assemble 10 Zero transport planes in Peking!"
"Mr. Deputy Minister, the independent column's radar is very sensitive. Once our planes approach Zheng County, they will be intercepted by the enemy. There are also countless ground-based anti-aircraft firepower, which makes it very difficult!"
He Ying Zhier nodded. He was of course very clear about the details, but there was no other way at the moment, so he could only take the risk and give it a try.
"You make the plan first, then factor in the dangers, and leave the specific decision to the commander."
"Yes!"
After giving the order, Heying Zhier stood up and patted Guan Gu Shenqi on the shoulder.
"Guangu-kun, don't feel stressed. Even if the mission fails, it is understandable. Keep a calm mind and try your best!"
"Hayi!"
After Guan Shenqi sent He Ying Zhier away, he quickly gathered his men to formulate a plan.
If the safest method is followed, the Zero transport planes in Peiping would be first transferred to Kaifeng, which is closest to Zheng County, and then they would attack at low altitude near Zheng County, and then increase the altitude to avoid the anti-aircraft firepower of the independent column.
As for how much of your supplies have landed in Zheng County, I'm afraid only God knows.
Guan Gu Shenqi collected information on the material needs of the Zheng County garrison and discovered that the Japanese were indeed out of ammunition and food.
The supplies needed are rice, bullets and shells, which are the simplest necessities.
Moreover, the gap in supplies reported by each division was huge, and ten Type 00 transport aircraft could not meet the demand at all.
"Sir, if we carry out an airdrop mission, we will need the troops guarding Zheng County to light a bonfire in the airdrop area to guide the airdrop!"
"Okay, all included in the plan!"
At around twelve o'clock in the evening, Guan Gu Shenqi handed over the battle plan to He Ying Zhiji.
After reading it, He Yingzhier nodded frequently.
"Not bad! It's rare to come up with such a detailed plan so quickly!"
"Mr. Deputy Minister, I'm sorry for my incompetence. We can only choose to save the ten Zero transport planes and the prepared delivery materials. We can't even guarantee one of them. We can't confirm whether the planes of the independent column will circle over Zheng County!"
The most critical point in Guan Gu Shenqi's plan was the time difference. Relying solely on the advantage that Kaifeng was closer to Zheng County, he airdropped the house before the independent column's plane arrived to intercept it, and then immediately escaped.
However, if the planes of the Independent Column continued to circle over Zheng County, waiting for the opportunity, the ten Zero transport planes would be in great danger.
He Yingzhier naturally knew the reason behind this. After all, you can't have your cake and eat it too.
"Okay, I will report the airdrop plan to the commander, and he will personally decide whether to implement it! By the way, although this plan may not be implemented, you still have to follow the previous disciplines and stay in the headquarters for the next two days. Don't leave without permission!"
"Hayi!"
Guan Gu Shenqi walked out of Ying Zhier's office with a heavy heart, and walked back to the Confidential Section 2 in a daze, as if he had lost his soul.
"How's it going, Section Chief Guan Gu?"
When the Japanese soldiers from the Second Confidential Section saw that Guan Gu Shenqi did not answer and seemed to be in a trance, they raised their voices a few degrees.
"Section Chief Guan Gu? What's wrong with you?"
Guan Gu Shenqi then realized that he was surrounded by his subordinates.
"Oh, the battle plan has been submitted to Deputy Commander He Yingzhi. Whether it can be implemented depends on the decision of the superiors. However, Deputy Commander He Yingzhi has expressed his approval of everyone's work and believes that it is not easy for our Confidential Section 2 to come up with a nearly perfect plan in such a short time!"
The Japanese soldiers from the Second Confidential Section were delighted, and Guan Gu Shenqi could only force a smile on his pale face.
"According to regulations, we still have to stay in the headquarters for the next two days and are not allowed to go out."
After Guan Gu Shenqi finished speaking, he walked back to his cubicle.
He sat down on the chair with a worried look on his face, not saying a word.
I thought this plan was just for fun, after all, the possibility of success was very low, but I didn't expect that Kazuto Chiji took it so seriously and wanted to present it to Okamura Yasuji overnight.
If Okamura Yasuji approved and the Japanese supplies were managed to be delivered to Zheng County, the risk of sacrifice would increase again for the soldiers of the independent column.
This information must be passed on!
Guan Gu Shenqi can only take the risk of reactivating the Zui Xiang Lou route and try his luck to see if Tang Youyou is still wandering around Zui Xiang Lou.
Guan Shenqi pushed open the cubicle door and clapped his hands when he saw his subordinates sorting documents.
"Everyone, you've worked hard today and you must be starving now. I'll treat you all to a midnight snack!"
After Guan Gu Shenqi finished speaking, he took out a stack of military notes and handed them to Koizumi, who usually liked to run errands.
"Let's go to the best Zui Xiang Lou and order me a pigeon soup. Ask them to add some Chinese medicine to clear heat and improve eyesight. My eyes hurt when I stay up late! You can take whatever else you want! Before you go, ask the Second Officer He Yingzhi if you need to bring him anything. Go!"
As long as there was something to eat, the Japanese were very active. They quickly went upstairs under the "escort" of the detective team and knocked on the door of He Ying Zhier's office.
"Come in!"
"Mr. Vice Minister, Section Chief Guan Gu invited us to have a midnight snack. He asked me to ask if there was anything you wanted to eat so that he could buy it for you."
"Haha, Guan Gu-kun is so thoughtful. No need, just go and eat!"
"Hayi!"
When Staff Officer Koizumi left Tomoji Kazutaka's office, he ran into Masao Kameda, the head of the Confidential Section 1.
Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.
Although Masao Kameda has always targeted the Confidential Section 2, things may change. Staff Officer Koizumi is also afraid that one day Masao Kameda will become his immediate superior, so he still maintains basic courtesy.
"Good evening, Section Chief Kameda!"
"So it's Staff Officer Koizumi, what are you doing?"
"Section Chief Guan Gu is treating us to a midnight snack, and I came to ask Deputy Chief He Yingzhi if he wants to order one!"
Masao Kameda didn't expect that Guan Gu Shenqi had learned to flatter him, and he was full of contempt.
"Go!"
Masao Kameda lowered his head and prepared to run as if he was escaping from disaster.
"and many more!"
Masao Kameda took out a stack of military notes from his pocket and stuffed them into Koizumi's hand.
"Add a few more dishes, thank you for your hard work! I want to tell your Section Chief Guan Gu that we are all colleagues in the Confidential Section. Although there were some minor frictions in the past, they were all for work!"
After talking to Ying Zhiji, he waved his hand and sent Koizumi away.
Koizumi held the money, walked a few steps, and spat in his heart.
"Humph, it's because you saw our section chief made great contributions and is expected to be promoted, so you come to curry favor with him! Bah! I won't tell you anything!"
When Staff Officer Koizumi arrived at Zui Xiang Lou, he was filled with pride. After all, he had plenty of money.
"Make me a portion of all the dishes on the signs on your wall and put them in a lunch box to take away! Also, Section Chief Guan Gu is suffering from internal heat again today, so make him some pigeon soup and add some herbs to reduce internal heat!"
The shopkeeper was in a bit of a dilemma.
"Taijun, can we change to another soup? Pigeons can only be bought at the market tomorrow morning, and we don't have any pigeons now!"
"No, Section Chief Guan Gu calls for pigeon soup! Hey, what is this?"
Koizumi listened to the cooing of the pigeons and stuck his head inside.
"Baga, isn't this a pigeon? How dare you deceive the imperial army?"
"Oh, old man, don't dare to deceive the Imperial Army. This is not a meat pigeon, it's a carrier pigeon!"
"No matter what, kill and stew immediately!"
