The 145th chapter fierce battle Tangyuan (4)
The line of Qunce Mountain was full of lively. In order to break through the opponent's blockade, Shirou Sawada completed the encirclement as soon as possible. He used all his strength to cover the artillery shells from planes, poisonous gas, and various calibers. He almost tried his best. After two days of hard fighting, he finally arrived at the core fortification garrison area of Qunce Mountain Secret Warehouse. On the night that day, the Second Regiment and the Third Regiment commanded by Yang Zhen had secretly detoured to his base camp and the periphery of Jiamusi.
In order to ensure the suddenness of the raid on Jiamusi, conceal his tactical intentions and avoid the almost ubiquitous spies of the Japanese army, Yang Zhen was extremely cautious in his actions. His detour route did not choose the southern line, but chose to first go west from Qunce Mountain to enter the hinterland of the Little Khingan Mountains, and then suddenly turned east to the north of the Nada River. After crossing the Hejia Railway on the General Shishan line, he turned southeast.
After crossing the unmanned swamps and wastelands in the north of Jiamusi and Tangyuan, he accelerated his marching speed and rushed towards Jiamusi at a rapid speed. At midnight the second day after he set out from Qunce Mountain, Yang Zhen's troops arrived at the northern sub-district of Jiamusi, the Lianjiangkou line.
In order to keep it a secret, not only were all marchs carried out at night, but they also tried to avoid all places where people lived. Those who really couldn't avoid them also went around at night. At this time, the vast area in the northern part of Jiamusi, which is familiar to everyone in later generations, had not yet been developed. Most of them were unmanned swamps and wastelands. The population was far from being compared with those in later generations. In addition to a few villages, most of them were also deserted. Yang Zhen mainly chose these places to march, and along the way, he avoided the ubiquitous spies of the Japanese army.
But along the way, what he didn't expect was that the person who brought him the most trouble was not people, but dogs commonly raised by the people in the Northeast. It's okay to marching in the mountains, but the people in the mountains had long been moved out because of the Japanese's reunion. But when he arrived in the plains, even if Yang Zhen was more careful, he would not be able to completely avoid passing through the village.
Even if it was a marching at night, a large army of thousands of people, plus a large number of horses carrying baggage and heavy weapons, would not be able to move at all. Even if there was a certain distance, although people might not be able to hear it, the dog was very clear-headed. Whenever there was any movement, he would shout wildly.
Although Yang Zhen liked dogs very much in later generations, even in Qunce Mountain, he took in a military dog from the Japanese garrison troops there. At this moment, Yang Zhen was surprisingly disgusting these guys. Listening to the barking of dogs from time to time in the distant village, Yang Zhen could only smile bitterly. No wonder he heard some old Eighth Route Army saying in later generations that when fighting guerrillas at night, he was afraid of meeting a village with dogs.
Fortunately, Tangyuan, one of the main bases of the Third Route Army of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, was a key area where the Japanese were reunited. In the past, the scattered villages on the Sanjiang Plain were not many villages and towns, and they had already been collected by the Japanese group and tribes.
Especially in the plains near the shallow mountain areas, the number of villages is very small. It turns out that a large amount of cultivated land has been reclaimed, and many of them are already deserted. What we need to avoid along the way are the so-called development group stations and coal mines that are large and small in Heli area.
After several battles on the front line of Fasihe in Tianmiaolingzishan, the puppet Manchukuo military and police in the northern part of Tangyuan were almost all drawn, and most of them had no return. Before there was any time to supplement, a small number of puppet Manchukuo military and police left behind in the group tribe did not dare to come out to check even if they found any abnormalities.
For these puppet Manchukuo military and police, it would be a matter for the future for the Japanese to find the back account. If you go out now, if you really encounter the so-called red beards, then the unlucky one will be yourself. Not only do the puppet Manchukuo military and police dare not come out, but even the Japanese among the puppet Manchukuo military and police will not dare to come out.
As reserve personnel, they are different from those fanatical young soldiers, and they are all hiring their families. They have long lost their fanatical nature. They are not stupid either, aren't they? So although the dogs in the village have caused some trouble to Yang Zhen's marching, in short, it is still not big.
During the march, Yang Zhen did not ride the foreign horse that Dong Ping gave him. The foreign horse was carrying a Type 92 heavy machine gun. In order to ensure this raid on Jiamusi, Yang Zhen almost brought out all the pack horses from Qunce Mountain.
In other words, if the situation of the battle does not change five days later, he will not be able to take down Jiamusi. When Guo Bingxun retreated, he could only blow up all the remaining supplies. After all, the truck could not walk on the mountain road.
In fact, the order issued by Yang Zhen to Guo Bingxun was also that if the war situation did not change within five days and when it was necessary to retreat, all the uncarried materials would be blown up. Anyway, most of the ammunition and materials had been transported away. The actual amount was not large. Most of them were left for combat. Yang Zhen's meaning was very clear, and the materials should never be allowed to drag down the movement of the troops.
Compared with whether the materials can be kept in the end and whether the Qunce Mountain can hold on to their own requirements for five days, Yang Zhen was even more worried about the enemy situation in Jiamusi. After arriving at the Lianjiangkou line, Yang Zhen was not in a hurry to launch an attack. It was during the spring flood season of the Songhua River, and the river water was extremely watery. In the short-term situation where the ferry could not be solved, if you want to cross the river, you had to take down the Lianjiangkou Railway Bridge first.
However, the situation of the enemy at Lianjiangkou was still dark. As the northern gate of Jiamusi, the throat of the Hejia Railway, the Japanese thought that they would not have set up a garrison here. Although there would not be too many, it was still a certain amount of trouble. If I forcefully launched an attack, relying on firepower and the advantage of military strength could also be taken down by Lianjiangkou, but my previous efforts to detour were exposed.
Looking at the darkness of the night, Lianjiangkou, which was actually impossible to see anything, Yang Zhen put down the telescope in his hand, turned to Liu Changshun and Dong Ping beside him and said: "Lianjiangkou is the gateway to the north of Jiamusi, and its railway bridge is the place we must pass through across the Songhua River. Unless we can get a large number of ferries without disturbing the Japanese and puppet troops now."
Yang Zhen raised his head and looked at Dong Ping and said, "You lead the team to touch the situation of the Japanese and puppet troops here in person. If not, grab a tongue. Try not to shoot. This place is across the river from Jiamusi, and it is only more than thirty kilometers away from Jiamusi. As soon as the gun fired, we went to the suddenness of the tactics."
After hesitating for a moment, Yang Zhen said to Dong Ping: "After you lead the team, you can understand the deployment of the Japanese and puppet troops in Lianjiangkou. If there are not many people, it will be solved directly. However, you must remember to move quickly and soldiers should be fast. Don't do it all, leave two living mouths."
After hearing Yang Zhen's order, Dong Ping looked at the sky without any delay. He turned around and took his reconnaissance company under the cover of the night and headed straight to the sleeping Lianjiangkou. Looking at his back, Yang Zhen was not worried about whether he could complete the task. Although the training of the reconnaissance battalion still lacked, it had already taken shape.
Although it is incomparable to the special forces in later generations, it should be said that they are still qualified as tactical scouts. If there are not many defending enemies, it is relatively easy to complete such a task. Judging from the terrain of Lianjiangkou and the area of this market town, there should not be too many defending enemies here.
Knowing the seriousness of the situation, it was already midnight. If the troops could not cross the river before dawn, Dong Ping, who had been painstakingly arranged by the commander, would have no scruples to expose all of them, and he had moved very quickly. In less than half an hour, he had already taken a team of people to be improperly dressed. At first glance, he was driven back by the puppet Manchukuo military and police who were taken out of bed.
When he saw Yang Zhen, Dong Ping hurriedly reported: "Commander, we have followed the order and successfully captured Lianjiangkou without firing a single shot. A total of 23 puppet Manchurian police officers were killed and 45 prisoners were captured. Among them were one police chief and twenty railway police officers. A batch of weapons and ammunition were seized, and no casualties were found in our army."
After hearing Dong Ping's report, Yang Zhen glanced at the tightly tied behind him, but at this moment he was trembling all over. If it weren't for the ropes tied to each other, the puppet Manchukuo police who had already piled on the ground frowned and said, "If mine weren't for these prisoners, what I wanted was the enemy situation in the Jiamusi area."
Hearing Yang Zhen's words, Dong Ping was slightly stunned and immediately realized that he had made a mistake. Dong Ping, who found that he had made a serious mistake, couldn't help but look at Yang Zhen with some embarrassment and said, "I'm afraid you will be worried. After solving the enemy, I rushed back in a hurry. The confession was still not too late. I'll go to interrogate now."
Seeing Dong Ping reacting, Yang Zhen could only shake his head and smile bitterly: "Go and bring that branch director here, I will interrogate himself. For the rest, arrange the people and hurry up and interrogate. I will know what I want in the shortest time."
After saying that, he turned his head to Liu Changshun and said, "You immediately command the troops to enter Lianjiangkou and firmly control the railway bridge. Let the engineers bury explosives on the bridge, but before receiving the order, do not blow up the bridge, and do not stop passing vehicles for the time being. In addition, control all the railway employees and don't let any of them go. Remember, what I want is all the railway employees. In addition, tell the troops to keep a secret."
After Liu Changshun led the troops away, Yang Zhen ordered Dong Ping to bring the police chief who was almost scared. For Yang Zhen, he wanted to interrogate himself, not because he did not trust Dong Ping. Yang Zhen still believed the ability of this disciple who was most proud of. Although he had just made a small mistake, it was a flaw that did not hide the flaws after all.
But for Yang Zhen, who was eager to learn the first-hand information about the enemy situation in Jiamusi, he had to know some things himself and make a judgment in the shortest time. Because whether the capture of Jiamusi this time is related to whether the Japanese army in the mountains can be smoothly mobilized and created the best situation to break the encirclement and suppression.
Although the police chief was very cartilage, his reaction was absolutely not slow. When he was brought up, he saw Yang Zhen wearing the same military uniform as others, but only had a pistol on his body, and behind him were several guards with fast and slow aircraft. He immediately realized that the young and scary person in front of him might be the leader of this elusive bandit armed force.
After all, this guy has been with the old Northeast Army for many years. Although his bones are a little softer, his vision is very poisonous. Although the man in front of him is a bit too young, just looking at the guns equipped by the guards behind him are all made by German-made fast and slow machines, the magazine bags on his chest are also bulging, which is absolutely different from the lack of ammunition from other Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. You know that the young man in front of him is definitely not a small official. Judging from this attitude, according to the establishment of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, he should be a division commander?
But are these guys the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces? The Anti-Japanese Allied Forces itself has had many dealings, and has never been a prisoner of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. Although they have not had the lives of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, they have been in peace and were just educated many times. They can wear messy clothes, at most they are the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces in Japanese uniforms. When did they get such a military uniform? Their badges are written on the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, but they don’t know what the word "in the country" means?
However, although I don’t know if these people are the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, the guy guessed that Yang Zhen was the head of these people and that the hope of knowing whether he could survive was placed on the young bandit leader. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed desperately: "Sir, please spare your life. The young man is just forced to make a living. The young man has never done anything to hurt the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. The young man has an 80-year-old mother to support him, and there are a few children waiting to be fed. Please forgive the young man.”
This guy was also a bit of a heart. He originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the Japanese deputy director returning to Jiamusi to visit his relatives and have fun. Unexpectedly, he was targeted by Dong Ping, who had just come out of the kiln. There was no way, except for the entire dark town outside the station, who was holding a flashlight. With the uniform of the pseudo-Manchukuo police, who would be the first to catch him?
But this guy was so soft. Yang Zhen, a soldier under Dong Ping, specially explained that the triangular bayonet built by the arsenal was just pressed against his back, and this guy said whatever he had said. He explained the situation of the puppet Manchukuo military and police in Lianjiangkou clearly.
However, it was precisely because he gave it so happily that Dong Ping was a little suspicious whether this guy was thinking about some conspiracy or finding time to delay himself? Dong Ping was not polite and directly arrested him to the pseudo-police office. Dong Ping's meaning was very clear. If you want to lie, you will be the first person to kill the other party.
However, the surprise attack on the Manchukuo Police Division and the railway police squad was successfully completed, although it proved that this guy was not lying. However, Dong Ping's subordinates' murder methods when they attacked the road guarding police squadron were scared. They quietly dealt with most of the road guarding police squadron with just a few strange-looking bayonets. Is this still a human being?
It is not surprising that Yang Zhen also dealt with the guy he had also dealt with to see Yang Zhen appear in such a situation. However, his appearance made Yang Zhen, who had been tense since the roundabout battle, smiled a little on his face.
Hearing this guy say this, Yang Zhen smiled and shook his head. This guy said these words so smoothly, I'm afraid he's said it. Although this guy looks a little softer, Yang Zhen also saw from his words that this guy is probably very smooth.
For such a guy, I must be a little bit soft and hard. Otherwise, I won’t be able to tell the truth, so don’t be fooled by him. Thinking of this, Yang Zhen smiled and said, “You get up first. Don’t be afraid. As long as you answer my question truthfully, I won’t kill you.”
Yang Zhen's words that promised not to kill him made the guy feel a little relieved, and he nodded quickly and said, "Sir, what do you want to ask, the younger one must know everything. There is a half lie, and you can do it."
Regarding this guy's promise, Yang Zhen just smiled slightly, signaled Xiaohuzi behind him to untie the rope on his body and said, "You'd better remember what you said. If you and your subordinates don't match each other's confession later, don't say we are merciless. Tell me, how many Japanese and puppet troops are there in Jiamusi City now? How many troops are there and how well are their equipment?"
Hearing Yang Zhen’s question, the guy was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized his intention and smiled bitterly: "Sir, don’t you want to attack Jiamusi? Are you too bold? Imperial Army, oh, the Fourth Division of the Japanese is now clearing out in the northwest of Tangyuan County, less than 100 miles away from Jiamusi. Two mixed brigades of Commander Zhang from the Seventh Military Control District are also there. As soon as Jiamusi fires a gun, they can come back with a word."
"You are a thousand people, but it's not enough to stuff them into their teeth. Sir, I advise you that if you really want to rescue the friendly forces in the mountains, you might as well go north to fight Heli. There are coal mines there, and the coal there is said to be low-sulfur coal, and the best industrial coal is said to be."
"The coal produced there is all transported to Japan, saying it is used for coking and steelmaking. The Japanese think that there is heavier than life. There is also Luobei in the north, which has gold mines, which produce hundreds of thousands of taels of gold a year. If you don't go there, how could you think of daring Jiamusi? This is an important water and land transportation route. It is so convenient for them to reinforce."
After this guy's observation and analysis, Yang Zhen couldn't help but have some different views on the puppet Manchukuo police. Although this guy seemed to be a little bit arrogant, he was still somewhat capable. He could guess his meaning from just a question, but few of the staff members trained by his teaching team had this vision.
Although he was surprised that this little policeman had such a vision, Yang Zhen did not show it on his face, and just said lightly: "What I ask you, just say whatever you say. Don't talk so much nonsense."
Seeing the coldness on Yang Zhen's face, the guy immediately realized that he was talking too much and hurriedly said, "Sir, Jiamusi has not many Japanese troops now, only one infantry brigade. I heard that this brigade was still crippled by you when you were clearing out Dunhua. It was not enough to be replenished yet, so I stayed."
"In addition to this infantry brigade, there are only some baggage and artillery left. Oh, there seems to be a cavalry squadron. Is it the military police? As for the number of people, I don't know. But there shouldn't be too many. Because the garrison team stationed in Lianjiangkou has been transferred, I don't think there will be too many left in Jiamusi."
"As for the Manchu army, they were all transferred, and now there are only some policemen left. I heard that you killed Sasaki to No. 1 Lieutenant General in the previous stage, and the Kwantung Army Command was very furious. The head of the Kwantung Army issued a death order, asking Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru to wipe you out in the shortest time. So the Fourth Division stationed in Jiamusi drove into the mountain. Even some of the troops of the 11th Division who had just been transferred were transferred away."
Yang Zhen frowned at this guy's answer. Originally, Yang Zhen interrogated him personally, because he wanted to know the general strength of the Japanese army in Jiamusi, but he had never thought about knowing it in detail. After all, he was just a small police chief who was in charge of the Japanese deputy. How much could he know?
Moreover, in terms of administrative system, Lianjiangkou was assigned to the newly established Heli County this year by the Japanese, and it is no longer directly under Jiamusi. This guy knows the situation of the puppet Manchukuo military and police garrison in Jiamusi, so Yang Zhen was already grateful. However, he did not expect that this guy even knew most of the approximate number of the Japanese army. This is really abnormal.
The Japanese devils have always distrust the so-called Manchus. Even if they reveal some deployments, they will never say so clearly to the police chief in a suburban town. So Yang Zhen only believed this guy’s confession.
