Chapter 1469 Killing Two Birds with One Stone
Combined with the various previous battles of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, the Japanese seriously suspected that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army would attack them at any time.
However, although there was a feeling of panic, it was not a reason for the Japanese not to be angry.
Especially the Japanese on the dozens of warships who witnessed this incident were furious.
At the same time, they also regretted not playing indiscriminate attacks immediately.
After all, once an indiscriminate attack is played, it is very likely to annihilate the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, thus making great contributions.
In order to make up for this mistake, the Japanese on these warships immediately began to do useless work.
"Boom boom boom..."
For a while, there were explosions everywhere on the huge river surface.
Every big explosion would stir up a water column that soared into the sky.
In fact, it is not very appropriate to describe the efforts of these Japanese as doing useless work.
The reason is very simple. By accident, they really detonated some booby traps.
However, the probability is very low.
In fact, it is precisely because they really found mines under the water that made the Japanese more cautious.
The most important thing is that after the news reached the headquarters of the Central China Front Army, a large force dedicated to minesweeping was officially established.
It was just a simple minesweeping, not very dangerous, and there was no need to worry about sneak attacks from the Chinese anti-Japanese armed forces.
Therefore, this Japanese minesweeping force included many traitors.
The traitors charged into battle, but the effect was very poor.
However, there was no problem in letting the traitors do some dirty work.
It must be said that the Japanese were highly efficient.
The minesweeping force had just been established, and then thousands of Japanese and traitors appeared on the river in many minesweepers overnight.
In order to see more carefully and find the mines, and to prevent sneak attacks from the anti-Japanese armed forces, many searchlights were deployed on each minesweeper.
That's not all. Behind the minesweepers, there were many large warships to hold back.
The purpose of these large warships was simple, that is, to be prepared and to annihilate the Chinese anti-Japanese armed forces that dared to show up at any time.
The surrounding areas of Nanjing City and the vast Songhu area have all become occupied areas.
Because the Nanjing Defense War had just ended, this large area was full of devils and traitors.
Therefore, the living space of various Chinese anti-Japanese armed forces was greatly compressed.
The key point is that in order to preserve their strength and not be surrounded by the Japanese and puppet coalition forces, large anti-Japanese armed forces had to break up into small pieces.
Then, relying on the advantage of small ships and easy turning around, they continued to be active in various places.
The Central China Front Army knew these situations very well.
For this reason, they started the clearing activities before the Nanjing Defense War ended.
This time, in order to prevent the anti-Japanese armed forces from harassing the minesweeping activities, many Japanese and puppet coalition forces gathered on both sides of the Yangtze River and were ready to take action at any time.
Because the incident area was near Nanjing Xiaguan, the devil minesweeping troops and the auxiliary defense forces responsible for escort all gathered here.
In other words, the Japanese were a little suspicious of Ye Tian's pretentious claim that he had used 10,000 large mines to block the entire waterway in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
Soon, the Japanese found out that Ye Tian was not pretending.
The reason was very simple. Not only in Xiaguan, but also in Suzhou and other places, large mines were discovered in the Yangtze River waterway.
Naturally, because they did not know the truth, many Japanese warships were unlucky one after another.
The Japanese and traitors on the warships had to accept the tragic ending of death and injury.
When this situation was discovered, there was always a roar in the headquarters of the Central China Front Army for a while.
It turned out that according to the original plan, the Central China Front Army had to carry out special tasks from the island country's base camp.
It was very simple, just to prepare for the attack on Wuhan.
With the continued outbreak of the full-scale war of resistance, especially the fall of the capital Nanjing, the Chinese Supreme Command had to transfer various important departments to inland areas.
Among them, Wuhan had the most important departments transferred.
Therefore, now Wuhan has become the de facto capital of China.
In addition, Wuhan's geographical location is particularly important.
Therefore, the island country's determination to take Wuhan is extraordinary.
However, before attacking Wuhan, the island country has one more thing to do.
It's very simple, that is, to take Xuzhou City and other surrounding areas, so that the Central China region and the North China region can be connected.
Naturally, the North China Front Army and the Central China Front Army have received the task of sending troops.
Prepare to attack Wuhan, and also dispatch troops to attack Xuzhou City.
The dispatch of a large force is not simply to transport troops.
Before the army moves, food and grass must go first.
Besides, in addition to transporting various foods, a large amount of weapons and ammunition must be transported.
These two things alone are enough to make the commander of the Central China Front Army, Yanagawa Heisuke, overwhelmed.
What Yanagawa Heisuke didn't expect was that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army had brought it trouble again.
And, because he failed to annihilate the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, Yanagawa Heisuke was sprayed by the island country's headquarters.
Trying his best to control his extremely depressed mood, Yanagawa Heisuke once again thought of the Tieshi Independent Detachment.
After all, the Tieshi Independent Detachment was established to wipe out the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
Unfortunately, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was always elusive and could not be found.
The point is that even if they are found, they can never be destroyed because they are too cunning and move too quickly.
That's not all. Every time they fight the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, the Tieshi Independent Detachment will suffer heavy casualties.
Even, it will end up with a complete annihilation.
There is no way, the Tieshi Independent Detachment has to rebuild again and again.
This time, after confirming that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is active in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, especially on the Yangtze River waterway, Yanagawa Heisuke was furious.
While sending the Tieshi Independent Detachment to find the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, Yanagawa Heisuke also ordered the various Japanese troops, especially the traitor troops, to keep a close eye on any suspicious people, especially suspicious gangs.
Ye Tian knew nothing about these situations for the time being.
At the moment, he is indeed still active under the Yangtze River and is busy day and night.
Ye Tian has a deep intention to do this.
It's very simple, just to disgust the Japanese and puppet coalition forces and kill and injure them as much as possible.
On this day, while running at full speed and continuing to randomly deploy mines, Ye Tian suddenly discovered something.
Just on the river bank, a large number of fleeing civilians appeared.
Most importantly, behind these civilians, there was an armed group of traitors chasing them.
In this situation, Ye Tian was furious.
He quickly started to think, and a plan to kill two birds with one stone quickly came into his mind.
