"Captain, our battle defeated a battalion of the Japanese army and a unit of the Puppet Manchukuo Army who cooperated with it. A total of 318 Japanese soldiers were killed and 130 Japanese soldiers were captured. Sixteen Japanese soldiers were captured, including eight wounded. In addition to the Japanese army, we also captured more than 400 puppet Manchukuo Army."

"A total of 560 Type 38 rifles and 120 Type 13 rifles of Liao. More than 60 pistols of various types were seized. Because the Japanese light and heavy machine guns became the main target of artillery fire in our army, the number of seized was not very large. Only six light machine guns, one heavy machine gun, sixteen grenade launchers, and one hundred and thirty grenades were seized. Because the Japanese army did not resist for a long time, all the various ammunitions were seized, with nearly 200,000 grenades and more than 2,000 grenades."

"In addition, 15-watt radio stations and 25-watt radio stations were seized, six telephone units, one telephone line, and one grain, and one coffin. Among the seized food, rice, white flour and other fine grains accounted for the vast majority."

"In this battle, our army consumed more than 140 mortar shells and more than 50 75 mm mountain shells. We almost exhausted all the mortar shells we carried when we set out, and the mountain shells that were insufficient were consumed almost 70%. If we don't find a way to supplement it, our army will lose its main artillery firepower."

"The rest of the various ammunitions of the pneumatic machine guns consumed about 60,000 rounds, mainly the 77-caliber Type 92 heavy machine guns consumed a lot of ammunition. In addition, the grenades consumed relatively large amounts, which killed half of the amount we carried before we set off."

"Our army has killed 56 and more than 80 minor injuries. The reason why there are no serious injuries is that the severe injuries are too cold. Even if we rescue them in time, they will all be killed in a short period of time. In addition to fighting injuries, the hidden troops also suffered from various frostbites. However, none of them are very serious, and most of the frostbites appear on the hands and feet."

The results of the battle were counted very quickly, and it didn't take long to report a detailed battle report to Guo Bingxun. Looking at the statistics of enemy and us casualties and the list of seized items, Guo Bingxun could hardly believe his eyes. However, after hesitating for a moment, Guo Bingxun still truthfully read out the battle report.

After hearing this, Guo Bingxun finished reading the battle report. Commander-in-chief, Li Yanping and others looked at me, and I could hardly believe that this was true. Not to mention that he had captured so many Japanese prisoners at once, even if he seized so much ammunition at once, he rarely had it in the Anti-Japanese United Nations.

In everyone's impression, the Japanese army is similar to most other Eastern armies. In addition to being more fierce, their determination to die is one of the best. Most of the time, even if they fight to the last person, they rarely surrender.

It has been several years since the September 18th Incident. Even when the Third Route Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces were in full swing, the Japanese prisoners they captured might be counted with just one slap. There were sixteen people who were captured when they thought of this battle, which could almost be described as creating the world.

What surprised several people even more was not just these. They had just received reports from the troops blocking the Japanese army from the South Road to get closer to this place, as well as Li Mingrui, who harassed the Japanese army from the West Road. After learning that the Japanese army from the South Road encountered an attack, the other two Japanese troops not only did not rescue according to their practice, but instead quickly retreated. In particular, the Japanese army from the South Road, which had the least force, did not advance but retreated, but also retreated rapidly to the west, trying to get closer to the Japanese army from the West Road.

After the Japanese army in the South Road ran like this, Yang Zhen first attacked the Japanese army in the Southeast Road, which had the strongest troops. If the battle went smoothly, the plan to turn to the South Road to eat the Japanese army in the South Road was completely failed.

Regarding Guo Bingxun's concern that excessive consumption of various shells would cause subsequent decline in combat effectiveness, Yang Zhen looked at the time on his watch and pointed to the place where gunfire sounds came from far south and said with a smile: "It's okay, there is a mortar squadron in the Japanese on this road. I have asked Dong Ping and the others to greet him. Judging from the time they set off, they should have succeeded at this time. If their progress goes smoothly, the shells we consume should be filled."

"After a while, you can send a company to the other side to respond. Didn't we seize several horse-drawn sledges in this battle? Take them all. They are in the snow and ice, and there are few people. If they seize too many, it will be very difficult to carry."

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen turned his head to Li Yanping and said, "Political Commissar, after withdrawing the temporary rest and recuperation site later, you must organize political workers to strengthen education for the soldiers. The battle was too easy. It was not that our overall strength exceeded that of the Japanese army, but that we encountered the exception of the Fourth Division. I am worried that it may affect the troops' impression of the Japanese army."

"If we had not achieved the suddenness of firepower and the suddenness of the battle in this battle, we would have concentrated all artillery fire, first hit the enemy hard, and then defeated the puppet Manchukuo Army first. Just by comparing our true strength with the Japanese army, in this battle, we would have been lucky to be able to tie this Japanese army."

"You saw just now that the Japanese reacted under the sudden attack of my artillery fire, and their reaction speed was far beyond our reach. After only a brief panic, they quickly stabilized the situation. The basic combat qualities they showed were incomparable to our army. Whether it was tactical use or counterattack speed, they far exceeded ours."

"In addition to the total number of troops, we had almost all the advantages in this battle. Almost all the shells carried, but we still suffered more than 100 casualties, almost one-tenth of the troops participating in the battle. So although we achieved great results in this battle, we had nothing to be proud of."

"Most of the old backbones in our army have fought bloody battles with the Japanese regular field divisions within the pass. Let them talk about their combat experiences against the Japanese regular divisions. Give those new soldiers a reminder that they must not arouse their arrogance. They must understand that this is an exception."|

"This time it was our luck. When we met soft dough, we would not have this luck next time. This kind of Japanese army is definitely an exception among the exceptions. For the combat effectiveness of the Japanese, we commanders must have a clear understanding of the Japanese's combat effectiveness."

"You cannot affect your judgment because of the result of a battle. Even if it affects the morale of the troops, you must make some things you should say clearly in advance. Especially for cadres at all levels, you must keep your mind clear. The principle that arrogance will be defeated must be clearly stated. We do not have the strength, and we do not have the pride of capital. So you must make it clear, even if it affects the morale of the troops, it is not hesitant to do so."

Regarding Yang Zhen's words, Li Yanping nodded in agreement and said, "I understand your concerns. To be honest, I have been fighting guerrillas in the Northeast for so many years, and I have encountered many Japanese and puppet troops, but this is the first time I have seen such a Japanese army."

"Although there are not necessarily none of these troops in the Japanese army, they are definitely a minority. Most of the Japanese army have extremely strong fighting styles. Although we are not afraid, we cannot regard this accident as a common example. So I agree with your idea of ​​asking the army to be cautious about arrogance and impetuous. As for the impact of morale, it is not certain. After all, most of our backbones have fought bloody battles with the Japanese army and have some understanding of the real combat power of the Japanese army."

"The veterans in the army are not very worried. Most of them have fought bloody battles with the Japanese on different battlefields for many years, and they still have a certain understanding of the Japanese army. What is worth worrying is that it is the new recruits. Especially the new recruits who participated in the war for the first time, if they regard the Japanese army as soft persimmons, the greatest harm is."

Speaking of this, Li Yanping pointed to the Japanese and puppet prisoners who were honestly squatting on the ground, like piles of steamed buns that had just been out of the pot and said, "Captain, how to deal with these Japanese and puppet prisoners of war? Especially these puppet Manchukuo army prisoners are too many. Should they be released after interrogation according to the convention of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, or should they be brought with them first?"

Yang Zhen was somewhat hesitant about the handling of these prisoners of war. It was okay to say that the Japanese prisoners of war were small, so I just took them away. But these hundreds of puppet Manchukuo prisoners were a little difficult to deal with. After all, Yang Zhen was somewhat unwilling to accept it. However, taking them away was an uneasy factor. Although they were puppet soldiers, they were regular soldiers who had received military training.

After pondering for a while, Yang Zhen said to Li Yanping: "I think these prisoners of war should be strictly reviewed by ordinary soldiers, and try to absorb some of them to join our army. Most of these people have received relatively complete military training. If they can win some, it will be of some help to us."

"If you really don't want to stay, each person will give you ten yuan of counterfeit coins as travel expenses and release them all on the spot. However, for those who don't want to stay, you must do a good job of publicity and tell them that we will go south to the Mengjiang area soon and join the army. Let them not return in that direction. Meeting again will not be the treatment. But the people who stay must be strictly identified and do not let Japanese and puppet spies sneak into our troops."

"In addition, after interrogating officers and squad leaders at all levels, all officers above the company will be executed, and no one will be left behind. These people are left behind. Maybe they will take the troops back and then turn back. If they are released, they will not deter the traitors who will surrender to the enemy. If they lose the battle, they will still be promoted and wealth when they go back, and they will harm the country and the people with the Japanese. How can they do such a good thing? Since they are devoted to the Japanese, they will have to bear this consequence."

"I think the decision to deal with these puppet Manchukuo prisoners today can become a routine in the future. For officers above the puppet Manchukuo Army, officers above the puppet Manchukuo Army captured during the battle, deputy director of the puppet Manchukuo Police, and those above the local puppet Manchukuo County Government, those who are subject to strict interrogation will be executed on the spot."

"And those ordinary Puppet Manchukuo military and police who were not enough but were very angry and were determined to be a lackey for the Japanese, regardless of military and civilians, as long as there are more than three people who exposed the news, including those who were arrested, they will be executed on the spot. By the way, for the Puppet Manchukuo military police, this standard must be lowered. If the squad leader is at the level, they will be handled according to this example. For spies, they will be suppressed regardless of their level."

"If you encounter a large market town, you will be executed in public. I will continue the heads of these people to let the traitors at all levels of the puppet Manchukuo know what the price of traitors is. Use their blood to atone for the crimes they committed themselves. Especially those who are from traitors from the Anti-Japanese United Nations and form a working team, once captured, can be shot on the spot without any interrogation."

Li Yanping hesitated about Yang Zhen's decision: "Is this a bit too much involved? I have no objection to the puppet Manchukuo military police, spies and traitors dealing with this. Because these people are basically hardcore traitors."

"But many of them have no opinion on the military and police officers of the puppet Manchukuo, and even have the purpose of making a living, and surrendering to the enemy with their superiors. This kind of killing will be very unfavorable to our struggle for them. It will also have an impact on you. After all, we are the Communist Party team, and the party's policies must be implemented."

"What's too big? The Japanese army dared to occupy the entire Northeast by one division. There were certainly other reasons. But without these traitors leading the way, and even a large number of troops directly surrendered to the enemy without a single shot, would the Japanese have such great ability?"

"Among those puppet Manchukuo military and police, many grassroots officers and soldiers were passively surrendered to the enemy, but how many anti-Japanese soldiers have died in these confusions over the years, not knowing what their family and country are? Not to mention anything else, the Japanese army's storm was carried out independently by puppet Manchukuo military and police, except for a few Japanese troops supervising the battle."

"What company commanders, battalion commanders, and police commanders can they become. Isn't that covered the blood of my anti-Japanese warriors? Their official positions were not exchanged for the lives of my anti-Japanese soldiers. The Japanese have no habit of feeding waste."

"No matter who I hold the real power, I only know that their official positions were exchanged for the blood of their compatriots and their heads from the Japanese. After all, the blood debts still have to be paid back. I complained that I don't have such a broad mind."

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen looked at Li Yanping after hearing his words, and said in a quiet tone: "Political Commissar, if we do this, we will distinguish ordinary puppet Manchukuo military and police from those senior puppet military and political personnel with our blood on our hands. We can also effectively use the heads of these traitors to shock those who are dedicated to the Japanese army."

"I am not a person who kills extravagantly, but if I don't do this, we will not be able to fundamentally intimidate the military and political personnel of the puppet Manchukuo military and political personnel. If I arrest them, I will only make these people become old fry. If I fail in the battle, I will be released if I cry. What should I do after I go back? Then isn't our battle in vain?"

"It's like a person who made a mistake. If he was caught and scolded twice, he wouldn't even hit the handboard. How can he intimidate them? The Japanese army has limited military strength, and the main opponents we face in many times are these puppet Manchukuo military and political personnel."

"Many of these people are born in local snakes, familiar with geography and people's sentiments. Without them, the Japanese are often blind and deaf. If they destroy them, it is equivalent to destroying the Japanese's eyes and ears. For us, in many cases, they threaten us much more than the Japanese army. If we do not shock them severely, our situation will only be more difficult."

"I don't want to start a massacre, but I have to let those people understand that if they make mistakes, they will be punished in the end. They can escape for a while, but they cannot escape for a lifetime. Don't think that with our leniency policy, we can do whatever we want. When necessary, our skills are also solid. For traitors, we don't have the words to say lenient. For such people, it's just a word to kill."

After hesitating for a long time, Li Yanping finally nodded to Yang Zhen’s thoughts and expressed his default.

However, after a while of silence, Li Yanping shook his head and smiled bitterly: "A lot of these people pulled off the military rank signs on their bodies before they were captured. How can we distinguish them from them? We should think of a good way."

"According to your idea, many people are enough to be executed by gunfire. If you don't think of a solution, many traitors who are extremely guilty and who are not enough to calm the anger of the public will slip away from our eyes."

"These grassroots commanders of the puppet Manchukuo military and police are not as ill as senior puppet officials. Moreover, they have a lot of deterrent power among their subordinates, as long as they are among the captives, many people dare not open their mouths. We don't know them."

Regarding Li Yanping's shaking his head, Yang Zhen smiled and said, "This is easy to deal with. Think about it, what is the biggest magic weapon of our party? It is mass work. The masses' eyes are bright. As long as we fully mobilize those prisoners of the puppet Manchukuo Army to report, I think many things are not very difficult to deal with."

"In this way, we will have a complaint campaign. Let these puppet Manchukuo prisoners report their commanders themselves. I don't believe that these puppet Manchukuo soldiers have not been whipped by their commanders? They have not been whipped by those Japanese consultants? I heard that in the puppet Manchukuo army, you must learn Japanese. Political Commissar, don't forget that Guo Dachun."

Hearing Yang Zhen's approach, Li Yanping said laughably: "You, I think you not only want to ask their commanders, but also cut off the way for these ordinary military and police to go back. You must know that they betray their commanders. Once they go back, neither the Japanese nor their commanders will spare them. If they want to not be investigated, they can only join our army. You can kill two birds with one stone."

Yang Zhen shook his head and said nothing about Li Yanping's accusations. He neither denies nor admits them. He just smiled tacitly: "Political Commissar, I have given you this idea, but you have to do the work there."

Hearing Yang Zhen's words, Li Yanping pointed at Yang Zhen and smiled bitterly, "I just said you wouldn't give me advice so happily. You even made a trap for me, and you really did a good job. The commander-in-chief has a strong party spirit, so easy to persuade. You."
