The 146th chapter fierce battle Tangyuan (5)

The head of the puppet Manchukuo police was very sensible. After seeing Yang Zhen listening to his confession, he didn't say anything, and immediately realized that the person in front of him did not believe his words. After reacting, he hurriedly said: "It turns out that the captain of the Japanese garrison stationed here is a very greedy guy."

"Although I was transferred here for a long time, I was not very satisfied with him because of his superiors, and because of his daily life, I quickly became familiar with him. This guy used the convenience of Lianjiang Pass, which was the only way for Heli coal to transport in the north, selling private coal. There was also Heli's Wutong River Gold Mine. The mine police captain there was my brother of my brother and helped this guy smuggle money. So this guy thought I was his best friend on weekdays and almost talked about everything."

"When this guy was drunk, he told me that he was actually just a representative. The smuggling of coal, as well as the timber and fur smuggled from Luobei, Suileng, Foshan and other places were actually the business of the 37th Regiment of the Fourth Division. His team leader was just equivalent to a shopkeeper. He could only get a small portion of the money. Compared with the contribution he had made, this amount of money was not even a drop in a bucket."

"I helped him win over the gold smuggling business and made him get enough money, so this guy kept treating me as a confidant and told me everything. He told me to ask him to help take care of those businesses, and if there is something to do, I will go to Jiamusi to find a major named Kitano Takatsu."

"He told me that the young master's family was extremely powerful, and even the Kanto Army Command had to give them three points of slimness. Even if that guy was defeated in Dunhua, he didn't touch him much. He just asked him to make meritorious contributions. If you have something to do, there would be no problem with him."

"He really told me what I know. Sir, I really say whatever I have, without a lie. Do you think I can leave?"

Yang Zhen pondered for a while about this guy's explanation, but did not continue to ask. Instead, he asked about the guy's resume and said, "What's your name? From your words, you are not only from a regular army, but also very clear about our policies. Tell me, why did you become a traitor?"

The guy smiled bitterly at Yang Zhen's replies: "Sir, my name is Ma Chunsheng. You are not wrong. I was originally from the Northeast Army. After graduating from the martial arts lecture hall, I worked as a staff officer for two days. Later, after the September 18th Incident, the 23rd Brigade of the Northeast Army where I was located surrendered. I was unwilling to follow at that time, so I drove a small trip back home."

"I just didn't expect to be able to live a peaceful life when I got home. People come to my house every day, saying it would be a request, but saying it would be a forced person. There is no way, and I am unwilling to work hard for the Japanese to fight against the anti-Japanese armed forces, so I became a policeman. After all, I still have a family to support me."

"Although I was forced to be a traitor, I had never been stained with the blood of the anti-Japanese soldiers. When I participated in the encirclement and suppression, I had never resisted as long as it was possible. Even if I fired, I would mostly shoot at the sky. Well, I was captured several times, so I had some understanding of the policies of your army. Because I had not stained with the anti-Japanese army's blood, I had also helped Sanjiang's anti-Japanese army solve some supplies for some medicines and other supplies, so I had never received any punishment."

After hearing his words, Yang Zhen just smiled faintly, "How about it, come and join the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces? I can see that you are very capable when I talked to you just now. Now that the country is in danger, a person like you stays here as a puppet Manchukuo policeman. Even if you have never done any evil, it is still a pity to be a traitor behind his reputation as a traitor."

When Ma Chunsheng heard that Yang Zhen actually invited him to join the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, he was stunned and felt a little surprised. But after swallowing his mouth with difficulty, he refused and said, "Sir, it is logical that you are personally here and this invitation, I have to be polite. But I really have my wife and children in my family. All the family members are counting on me. As soon as I leave, they have a break from their livelihood. Besides, I have lived in Jiamusi for many years, and it is easy for the Japanese to find my family."

Although he didn't say all this, Yang Zhen also heard what he meant. The reason why this kid was not to be a traitor, but to put it bluntly, he had no confidence in the Confrontation Alliance and was afraid that his family would be retaliated.

Just now, from this kid's understanding of the enemy situation, Yang Zhen knew that although this kid had a low position and was not very powerful, he was a very well-informed person. He should be very clear about the entire process of the rise of the Anti-Japanese United Army in the North Manchuria region to the current trough. To put it bluntly, I'm afraid this guy has never been optimistic about the Confrontation United Army. This is the reason why this guy pushed three times and four times.

But this guy has a very accurate view of the problem, and it is a pity to stay here. But Yang Zhen always thought that going to rush is not a business. Since this guy has no confidence in himself and even the Confrontation Alliance, it is fine. After all, everyone has their own ambitions? Thinking of this, Yang Zhen smiled and said, "Since Mr. Ma doesn't want to, I won't force it. However, it just now that Mr. Ma is very familiar with the situation in Jiamusi. Can you draw a rough sketch of Jiamusi for us? You also need to mark the residences of the puppet Manchukuo military and political personnel in Jiamusi's urban area."

Hearing that Yang Zhen did not force himself, Ma Chunsheng breathed a sigh of relief. It was not that he was unwilling to serve the country and had no passion. But as a top student in the Northeast Military Lecture Hall, he never thought that these were not supplies. He could only stay in the mountains and forests and passively respond to the war. The Anti-Japanese United Nations Association could really drive the Japanese army with planes, heavy artillery, tanks, and soldiers from the Northeast to drive out of the Northeast.

To be honest, he still admires the Anti-Japanese United Army who insisted on fighting in the mountains and forests. These people can persist for such a long time in the cold of minus 30 to 40 degrees Celsius in winter. When basic weapons are lacking, he has not given up for so many years without giving in. Not to mention anything else, this perseverance alone makes him admire.

But admiration is one thing, and whether to participate or not is another thing. As the National Government still cannot see any hope of regaining the Northeast, he does not think that the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, which are equipped with minimal equipment, poor training, and even have an absolute disadvantage in the number of people, have the ability to change the status quo.

Although he refused Yang Zhen's invitation, he agreed without thinking about Yang Zhen's request to draw a sketch. Not only did he draw the sketch in detail, but he even drew some Japanese fortifications he knew. While drawing, he also introduced to Yang Zhen: "Sir, because the bandits were seriously plagued before, there were city walls on all sides of Jiamusi."

"And the city walls of Jiamusi are all rammed earth inside and blue bricks outside, and are built very strongly. Apart from large caliber heavy artillery, even if the 75-mm field shells are shot up, they will not play any role. Only the west side has been demolished due to the railway construction. If you want to attack vigorously, it is better to choose the west side."

"Jiamusi was a city that started to be built after September 18th. It used to be just a market town. Although it is prosperous because of its geographical location and there are many Japanese troops, there are not many fortifications in its own right, and most of them are concentrated near the Japanese barracks. However, I don't recommend you to attack for a strong attack." Speaking of this, he handed the sketch he had drawn in his hand to Yang Zhen.

Yang Zhen took the sketch he drew, and after seeing it, he couldn't help but shout. Without various tools, he could draw such a standard city plan with just a pencil and memory. Not to mention anything else, just the basic skills of doing homework as the most basic quality map of an officer are admirable.

This move, let alone the staff members of his army who can only be said to be the straw team, did not have these tricks. Even Guo Bingxun, who has returned from studying in France, did not have the skills of doing homework on this move. Even without a compass or a ruler, he could not do it.

Looking at this sketch, Yang Zhen, who had been rushing to do business before, immediately made up his mind to tie him to his own troops regardless of whether the person was willing or not. Even if he could not be allowed to counsel the military aircraft for the time being, it would be fine even if he was to teach the teaching team.

Ma Chunsheng, who didn't know that his fate was about to change because of this sketch, handed over the sketch to Yang Zhen and said carefully: "Sir, you have finished drawing this sketch and I have finished talking about the situation. Should you let me go? Don't worry, after you let me go, I will never report it."

Regarding this guy's words, Yang Zhen shook his head and said, "It's okay to let you go, but now is not the time. You and your brothers have to wait until we conquer Jiamusi before they can leave? Let you go now, even if you don't reveal our whereabouts, can you guarantee your brothers? You are also a soldier, so I don't need to say the importance of this confidentiality."

When Ma Chunsheng heard that Yang Zhen was going to keep his word, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he didn't dare to resist at all. He could only be taken to stay with his brothers honestly. However, when this guy left, he hesitated for a while and said to Yang Zhen: "Sir, although the number of Japanese troops in Jiamusi is not large, I still suggest you not to attack."

"Tomorrow, oh, at 5 o'clock this morning, there will be a train that transports labor and supplies from Jiamusi to Heli back. If I remember correctly, this train should be an empty train. If you can stop this train and use the train to rush into Jiamusi, at least if the suddenness of the action can be achieved, the casualties will be much smaller."

Looking at Ma Chunsheng's back as he was taken down, Dong Ping said to Yang Zhen: "Commander, you must not believe this guy's words. I just interrogated those people, and ten people had confessions. This guy is just the branch director of the police branch of a small town in Heli, more than 30 kilometers away from Jiamusi. How could he know so much?"

Yang Zhen did not answer Dong Ping immediately, and handed him the sketch in his hand and said, "I believe what he said is true. Look at this picture."

Dong Ping took the rough sketch of Jiamusi in Jiamusi handed over by Yang Zhen and looked at it, and not only praised: "The real standard of this picture is that I don't have these two tricks. Let's not talk about me, even if the Chief of Staff comes, I can't draw it without tools. I really didn't realize that this guy is really good at it. But Commander, you can't judge that he is not lying based on this sketch."

Regarding Dong Ping's complaint, Yang Zhen did not answer him, but took the sketch and said to Dong Ping: "A train will pass by, you can cut it off. After marching urgently these days, everyone is exhausted. Now we also enjoy it and take the train to Jiamusi."

After explaining Dong Ping, Yang Zhen saw him hesitant. Yang Zhen smiled and said, "You, aren't your head very active? The Jiahe Railway is the main outbound transportation channel for the Japanese army to plunder coal, gold and timber in the Little Xing'anling area. Think about it, if the Japanese learned about our movements, can they stop the train transportation? The Japanese are not so generous. As long as the train arrives here at the right time, it means that our actions are not exposed. At least half of what this guy said is the truth."

"As for the current Japanese troops in Jiamusi, what he said is true or false, have you not seen the battle situation notice sent by the Chief of Staff in the past two days? Except for the 70th Regiment that the 70th Regiment has been transferred to Harbin to form the 25th Division, the rest have already been headed to the Qunce Mountain line. At this moment, the troops in Jiamusi City are almost the same as what he said."

"It is more than 30 kilometers away from Jiamusi. It is difficult for us to reach Jiamusi before dawn. It is also in the Sanjiang Plain area. When dawn, it is difficult for me to hide. Since there is a means of transportation that can ensure that we can arrive at Jiamusi before dawn and save the physical fitness of the troops, why don't we use it?"

That Ma Chunsheng didn't really lie about this issue. At around five o'clock in the morning, a freight train from Xingshan, Hebei drove into the small train station in Lianjiangkou. With the cooperation of local railway workers, Dong Ping easily stopped the train with more than ten straps and flatbeds.

The several puppet Manchurian railway police officers in charge of escorting the train were disarmed by Dong Ping's subordinates who were swept on the train as soon as possible and tied up a solid man.

Of course, the reason why railway workers cooperated so much was at the request of Dong Ping's speed and slow aircraft with the nose open. The bodies of the Japanese railway employees who refused to cooperate clearly told them the fate of not cooperating. Otherwise, these people would risk being retaliated by the Japanese army to assist Yang Zhen? For most people, enlightenment is often based on the safety of their lives.

Seeing that the train was intercepted, Yang Zhen did not hesitate at all. The entire army boarded the train. The two mountain artillery battalions were fixed with sandbags and directly mounted the three flatbed cars in the train with great fanfare, and the shells were piled up on both sides of the artillery. Yang Zhen's order to Qiu Jintang was very simple. After the train rushed into Jiamusi, his shells must be shot into the Japanese military camp not far from Jiamusi Railway Station at the same time.

The troops were very fast. Except for the artillery fixed artillery that took a little time, the rest of the troops quickly loaded the train in just fifteen minutes. All the tank trucks in the train were open. The light and heavy machine guns were mounted on the door. If they encountered enemy situations in the middle, they could open fire as soon as possible.

The most important front of the car was guarded by Dong Ping according to his most capable reconnaissance squad. According to his arrangement, there were four people and four large fast and slow machines with the nose open, and the muzzle was absolutely not left by the driver and the furnace.

After getting on the train, Yang Zhen immediately assigned part of the tasks to Liu Changshun. After opening the sketch of the Jiamusi city drawn by Ma Chunsheng, he said to Liu Changshun: "You bring the first battalion of the first regiment, one company of the second battalion plus two independent companies. After the train enters Jiamusi, you will immediately lead the team to attack the Japanese military camp."

"Most of the Japanese army in Jiamusi have been transferred to the Qunce Mountain line, and most of the ones left behind are supplies, logistics, cavalry and other troops. The main force is a brigade of the Eighth Regiment of the Fourth Japanese Division that we defeated in the north of Dunhua. You must move quickly and strive to defeat this Japanese army in the shortest time. I will transfer the main force of artillery to you."

After explaining to Liu Changshun, Yang Zhen turned his head to the political commissar of the First Regiment Wang Xiaoming and said, "Political Commissar Wang, you are an old cadre of the Anti-Japanese United Army. You graduated from Shenyang Ordnance School and Northeast Military Academy. You have rich experience. You also have a certain understanding of the plane. You took a battalion to strengthen eight mortars and a heavy machine gun company and went directly to Jiamusi Airport to me."

"Yes, I guarantee to complete the task." Wang Xiaoming agreed cleanly. But after nodding happily, he pointed at Ma Chunsheng who was squatting aside with some squirming and said, "Commander, I know this person and I am very familiar with him. He and I are classmates from the martial arts lecture hall. Do you think he is asking him to go with me, so that I can persuade him?"

"I still understand him. He is capable and talented. He is the best among our students. With his ability, if he surrenders to the enemy wholeheartedly, he will never be a small police chief. Not to mention a police chief, there is absolutely no problem even if he is a mixed brigade commander."

"I know he is not the kind of person who is greedy for wealth, nor is he who is greedy for life and death. There is definitely a reason why this guy will surrender to the enemy. I will persuade him to see if he can use it for us. It would be a pity if this person just falls like this."

After thinking about Wang Xiaoming's request, Yang Zhen looked at Ma Chunsheng, who was brought to the temporary escort truck as the command center, nodded slightly and said, "Okay. He is familiar with the terrain of Jiamusi. If you take him there, you can return to the team smoothly after completing the task."

Regarding Wang Xiaoming, a founding major general who was awarded the title of the three anti-Japanese army after the founding of the country, who seemed very extraordinary to others, Yang Zhen nodded and agreed after thinking about it. He did not believe that he would have any other thoughts, and he would not abandon the deputy of the Changchun Infantry Battalion of the puppet Manchukuo Changchun Imperial Guards, at least in the position of those traitors who surrendered to the enemy, and defected to the Anti-Japanese United Army, and persisted until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.

After explaining the two, Yang Zhen turned his head to Dong Ping and said, "Your mission is to arrest all small and small puppet officials from the Puppet Manchukuo Sanjiang Provincial Government, Jiamusi Municipal Office, Sanjiang Provincial Police Department, Jiamusi Police Bureau, and the Seventh Military Control District. Remember, no senior officials in the Puppet Manchukuo Sanjiang Provincial Government are allowed to escape the net.

"Especially, the governor of Manchukuo Mie Province, Lu Yuanshen, and the deputy chief Machida Zitaro, Nagashimazaki Yuichi, the Japanese department of the Pseudo Police Department, and the people of Nagasseshita Qingming. You copy this map immediately. After the train enters the city, you will immediately follow the map. The addresses of the officials above have been marked. Remember that I want to see people in my life and to see bodies in my life."

Of course, Yang Zhen didn't know that the famous commander of the Fifth Army of the Kwantung Army at this time, Doihara Kenji, who was known as the Oriental Lawrence, was in Jiamusi at this time. Although Ma Chunsheng knew the situation in Jiamusi city well, the traces of the Japanese officers, especially senior officers, were never able to grasp.

If Yang Zhen knew that there was such a person in Jiamusi, he would definitely change the order of arrest. He would rather not arrest anyone else than use some of his troops on this guy.
