Jiamusi City is located in the northeast of Heilongjiang Province, southwest of the Sanjiang Plain, and south bank of the Songhua River. It is a political, economic, cultural center and transportation hub in the northeast of Sanjiang Province of Manchuria. It is located in the north of the city and across the Songhua River in the west, facing Tangyuan County, Yilan County in the south, Huanan County is adjacent to Huachuan County in the east.

The Jiamusi area was originally the deputy commander of the three surnames under the Jilin General of the Qing Dynasty. In 1888, the Yilan Banner Office established Dongxing Town on Zhangfang Street in Jiamusi. After 1905, it was successively under the jurisdiction of Yilan Prefecture and Huachuan County, and the capital of Huachuan County. In 1930, Jiamusi Tun and Dongxing Town were combined and named Jiamusi Town.

After the September 18th Incident, Jiamusi Town was still in Huachuan County. On December 1, 1934, the puppet Manchukuo established Sanjiang Province, with the provincial capital in Jiamusi Town. In September 1937, the puppet Sanjiang Provincial Office established Jiamusi Municipal Preparatory Office, and on December 1, Jiamusi City was officially established, which was directly under the jurisdiction of Sanjiang Province and was the seat of the puppet Manchukuo Sanjiang Provincial Government.

Jiamusi is backed by Xing'an Mountains and faced the Sanjiang Plain. Since the September 18th Incident, it has been an important base for the Japanese army to control the northeast and attack the Soviet Union to the north. In order to better control Jiamusi and serve its so-called strategy. After occupying Jiamusi, the Japanese army vigorously built the railway. In addition to the Hejia Railway and the Tujia Railway, the Japanese army is also building the Harbin-Jiamusi Railway, and the Binsui Railway under construction also passes through Jiamusi.

However, everything always has a certain two-sidedness. Although the Japanese army built a large number of railways to increase their mobility and to more conveniently plunder the rich resources of the Little Khingan Mountains and the Sanjiang Plain, sometimes, it may not be impossible to provide assistance to the anti-Japanese armed forces in counterattacking them.

After taking the train, it turned out that it would take more than 30 kilometers to march for a long time, but it arrived at the destination of the raid in less than an hour. When Yang Zhen's troops took the train to the city quietly and arrived at Jiamusi Station smoothly, the entire Jiamusi had no reaction at all.

Even if the puppet Manchurian Railway police along the railway discovered the mountain cannons placed openly on the flatbed truck and the black muzzle inside the open door of the tank truck, they did not care. Because the Japanese army was mobilized too frequently during this period.

In addition to the 4th Division, which was originally stationed in Sanjiang Province, were all transferred back, even the Japanese troops from other places were also transferred to Jiamusi. Because there were insufficient cars, the Japanese troops were basically transported by railways.

These mobilizations were basically something that these puppet Manchurian railway police had no right to know. When they saw artillery and machine guns on the military line, these puppet Manchurian police thought that the Kwantung Army was mobilized to be prepared to clear the mountainous areas northwest of Tangyuan. The military uniforms of Yang Zhen's troops were too similar to those of the Japanese army. Except for the different hats and no military ranks, the others were almost exactly the same.

In order to avoid the military cap being scraped off on the galloping train, the artillery soldiers on the flatbed truck almost took off the military cap. After doing this, without looking closely, they suddenly thought that the Japanese troops were on the train. Moreover, the galloping train would not leave enough time for them to watch carefully.

When the train entered Jiamusi Station, before the train could stop, a large number of troops rushed down, and occupied the entire Jiamusi Station as quickly as possible, cut off all the telephone lines inside and outside the station, and disarmed all the puppet Manchukuo military and police in the station, these puppet Manchukuo military and police found out that something was wrong. The few passengers waiting in the station were also shocked when they saw these troops with the words "Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces" on their badges.

After occupying the station, Yang Zhen immediately issued an order to attack the predetermined targets in Jiamusi City. The twenty-four mountain cannons placed on the flatbed cart also launched a large-scale shelling of the Japanese left-behind troops camp less than one thousand meters away from the station. When the first batch of shells fell into the Japanese barracks, the Japanese left-behind troops who were out of control were immediately blown up and flesh and blood.

When the first batch of shells at dawn exploded and the dense gunfire like a bean bursting out immediately made Jiamusi, who had just woken up from his sleep, exploded. Everyone didn't know what was going on. When they saw a large number of unidentified armed forces gushing out of the station and attacking various targets in the city, almost everyone's first reaction was to hide so as not to harm the fish pond.

Yang Zhen, who set up the temporary command center in Jiamusi Railway Station, did not know the reaction of the residents in the city. And this is not the thing he should worry about the most now. For him, whether he can complete the predetermined goal in the shortest time and control Jiamusi is what he cares about the most.

Although the main force of the Japanese army in Jiamusi had been transferred to Yuyuan to attack the front line of Qunce Mountain, Jiamusi was still very important to the Japanese army. The Japanese and puppet troops left behind in Jiamusi, as well as various puppet Manchukuo police and spies, there were still two or three thousand people.

Among these two or three thousand people, the Japanese army accounted for at least half. Among the remaining half of the puppet Manchukuo military and police, there are a large number of Japanese police officers, officers, and Japanese consultants among the puppet Manchukuo military and police. Perhaps the puppet Manchukuo military and police are not strong in combat, but the remaining Japanese are not many soft persimmons. Even if the troops of the Fourth Division are weaker, they should prevent them from jumping over the wall.

And for Yang Zhen, these two or three thousand people mean that his troops did not have an absolute advantage. The biggest advantage he has now is that he has achieved the suddenness of tactics very well. He used railway troops to transport troops and perfectly caught his opponent off guard.

Whether it was the Kwantung Army that occupied the Northeast and became the so-called Manchukuo Emperor, or the so-called Manchukuo Army, as well as various military police, railway police, forest police and other police officers and spies in Manchukuo, their past work was more about guarding against how anti-Japanese armed forces destroyed the railway, and they never thought that one day the Japanese armed forces would use the railway to attack the city. They did not expect that someone would take the train with great courage and swagger directly to occupy the railway station.

Yang Zhen's plan to use the train to attack Jiamusi was very beautiful. The suddenness of the tactics and the number of Japanese and puppet troops in Jiamusi was quite large, most of them were logistics and baggage units, and their combat effectiveness was not strong. As time went by, the war progressed relatively smoothly.

The puppet Manchukuo police, which occupied half of the Jiamusi defenders, except for a few Japanese policemen who were still tenacious in resistance, most of the police did not resist fiercely. After only a few shots, most of the police from the Sanjiang Provincial Police Department of the Puppet Manchukuo Sanjiang Provincial Police Department and the Jiamusi Municipal Police Department surrendered.

The real difficulty is that the Japanese left-behind troops were still under the sudden attack, but the Japanese troops still showed extremely high military qualities and reacted in a very short time. Although they were divided into their respective camps and could not form a unified deployment, they still rely on the built camps to resist desperately under the command of their respective commanders.

Especially the 3rd Cavalry Brigade's resistance was the most intense. Although there were only two cavalry squadrons left behind, they not only resisted tenaciously, but also launched counterattacks several times. They tried to counterattack Yang Zhen's troops who had already attacked the city out of the city. They did not go to justice until they lost their counterattack ability due to the intensive firepower and the loss of counterattack ability. Relying on simple fortifications, they continued to struggle to death.

The performance of the troops left behind by the Fourth Division made Yang Zhen a little strange. Because this army was the main force behind the Japanese army's Jiamusi, the first wave of artillery fire mainly fell on them. However, Yang Zhen's old friend's performance this time was exactly the same as in northern Dunhua.

Although the Japanese army suffered violent artillery fire and the number of casualties under the artillery fire was absolutely not small. However, not only did there be no collapse, they were fighting for life. Although they did not make any counterattacks, they just honestly defended passively, and did not launch several counterattacks from time to time like the Third Cavalry Brigade, the resistance was still tenacious.

Looking at the two Japanese camps that could not be captured for a long time, Yang Zhen, who had received reports from Dong Ping to take over important targets such as the Sanjiang Provincial Government of Manchuria, Sanjiang Provincial Police Office, Jiamusi Municipal Office, Jiamusi Municipal Police Office, and Telegraph Bureau, but did not have any happy expressions.

The left-behind Japanese army could not solve it for a long time, so they could not completely occupy Jiamusi. Although this roundabout battle was mainly to mobilize the Japanese army attacking Qunce Mountain, it was not to occupy Jiamusi. However, the several attacks were frustrated, Yang Zhen was still a little unhappy.

It is easy to say that the two cavalry squadrons left by the Third Cavalry Brigade were left behind. After half a day of fierce fighting, there were only two cavalry squadrons. Because they were defensive operations, they could only be changed to infantry, and the two Japanese squadrons, which had no firepower support, had nearly two-thirds of the casualties. Even if they could not be completely solved, the remnants of these two Japanese squadrons could no longer pose any threat to themselves.

However, the remaining troops of the Fourth Division are definitely a threat to themselves in terms of military strength. There are not only one infantry brigade of the Japanese army, but also three artillery squadrons, two squadrons of the baggage brigade and one cavalry squadron. If this Japanese army cannot be eliminated, once it retreats and pursues itself, it will have a great impact on its next battle.

Although the troops of the Fourth Division were not completely stationed in Jiamusi on weekdays, they were scattered in various counties under Sanjiang Province. However, their direct artillery corps, baggage corps, cavalry corps, and the 70th Regiment that had been transferred to Harbin were all stationed in Jiamusi. Therefore, the Jiamusi Camp, where the Fourth Division headquarters was located, was still very large.

Although Qiu Jintang's previous shelling was not stingy with shells, it only destroyed part of its battalion. The remaining troops of the Fourth Division relied on the remaining barracks and the ruins of the destroyed barracks as fortifications, and their resistance was still very tenacious.

In such close-range, almost head-on combat, the Japanese army's individual quality was reflected. Not only was the light and heavy machine guns very fast to transfer positions, but the threat of their grenade launchers was particularly great. There was almost no sound from the wall, and they suddenly came over, causing a lot of trouble to the attacking troops. Many of the light and heavy machine guns of the attacking troops were knocked out like this.

Liu Changshun attacked several times, and although he attacked the Japanese military camp, he was not familiar with the structure here and was unable to use the troops due to the terrain restrictions, and the fight became the oil-adding tactic that Yang Zhen was most reluctant to see. He could only chew it layer by layer. After a morning, he only took down half of the battalion. However, the casualties were quite large, and the entire vanguard was beaten to a disabled person.

Yang Zhen was not satisfied with Liu Changshun's attack, and Liu Changshun himself was also quite depressed. When the third brigade of the Eighth Regiment was in Dunhua, he was obviously a defeated general under his command. Although it was not defeated in one blow, his fighting will was not even considered garbage compared to other Japanese troops.

It was just being detoured behind the scenes, that is, it collapsed across the board. What happened today? It was like a life-threatening resistance? It was hard to believe that this was the opponent who was easily defeated by himself in the north of Dunhua at the beginning of the year. People who don’t know thought it was a different person.

To be honest, after the battle in the northern part of Dunhua, Liu Changshun looked down on the Fourth Division, at least the Eighth Regiment. These people had the individual quality and even the abilities of grassroots commanders. Whether it was shooting skills or tactical actions, they were no less than other Japanese troops.

Compared with other Japanese troops who were at an absolute disadvantage of being surrounded and who had extremely resolute resistance, these Japanese troops were simply a pile of garbage. In the battle of Dunhua, although they were considered to be attacked from both sides, the collapse speed was too fast. Almost as soon as they found an opponent behind them, they immediately collapsed.

Even if it is related to the inability to build field fortifications due to climate and environment, and being passively exposed to the snow, its rapid collapse also shows how weak these guys will be in combat.

To be honest, even if they don’t like it, Liu Changshun privately admitted that if these guys had really resisted like they were today, in terms of the real combat effectiveness of the troops on both sides, even if one of them had taken the tactical initiative and concentrated their troops and firepower, they would not have defeated them in such a short time.

Not to mention anything else, my troops used the same Type 38 rifle as he was. His own people might not be able to hit the target within 300 meters. But even if they were six or seven hundred meters away, almost most people could hit each other accurately. A distance of five or six hundred meters could be knocked down with almost one shot.

In that battle, if the commander had not lurked in front of the formation and suddenly launched an attack, he tried his best to adopt the tactics of melee combat. If he had to fight head-on, his troops would have to suffer great losses based on the gunshots of these Japanese alone. At least today, he would not have suffered any losses from these Japanese.

Fortunately, these Japanese soldiers have different styles from other Japanese soldiers and are very soft. Seeing that the situation is not good, they save their lives first. The situation is unfavorable and they slipped faster than anyone else. "Is this an army?" This is also the reason why Liu Changshun always looked down on this Japanese army.

Yang Zhen, who was standing in a loft at Jiamusi Railway Station, could not help but feel a little upset when he saw that Liu Changshun's attack was still unsatisfied. Yang Zhen put down the telescope in his hand and said to Qiu Jintang beside him: "Tell your artillery, put bayonets on my cannons and shoot them close to Japanese military fortifications. Knock them one by one."

"Also, how did your artillery observer train me? How could the landing points of the shells be so scattered if they are less than a thousand meters away? In addition to the support of four mountain cannons, the rest of the artillery will concentrate their firepower and provide a little coverage of the Japanese positions."

"Don't worry about the shells. Dong Ping seized the shells that you had used for at least a few years from the arsenal of the Fourth Division."

Hearing Yang Zhen's order, Qiu Jintang frowned and said, "Commander, I don't feel sorry for the shells. But it's already one thousand meters. No matter how close it is, is it too close to the firepower of the Japanese infantry? It's not easy for us to cultivate an artillery. Is it a pity to sacrifice so easily? We don't have such a large amount of capital yet."

Regarding Qiu Jintang's heartbroken artillery and fearing that the artillery would suffer a large number of casualties from the Japanese position, Yang Zhen shook his head and said, "Don't you think of a solution? Since the Japanese army can use ruins as a hidden place, your artillery can't be? Liu Changshun has occupied half of the camp, can you use it?"

"You broke through those pretty intact houses and used their windows as launch ports. If it really doesn't work, you poured some quilts on water to cover them. The Japanese artillery has lost its power now. How much danger can rely solely on light weapons bring to you?"

Seeing Yang Zhen’s sign of getting angry, Qiu Jintang did not dare to argue. He picked up the field phone and directly asked to communicate with the deputy battalion commander of the first battalion under his control, that is, a former artillery platoon leader of the puppet army who was with Ma Qichang, said: “Old Hu, the commander just ordered the cannon to be bayonetized and aim to shoot.”

"Take four mountain cannons, find dozens of quilts, and go in with the follow-up troops of the group. Use the ruins as a cover to knock out the Japanese firepower points one by one. Also, if necessary, pour the quilts as a cover. However, you can hear it clearly for me. If you suffer too much casualties for me, I will not spare you."

Hu Zhaoshan heard Qiu Jintang's order and was silent for a moment, saying, "Captain, please tell the commander that I will ensure that I complete the task. I will knock out all the Japanese firepower points cleanly to ensure that Commander Liu's attack is smooth. However, I have a condition, please ask the commander to agree to me."

When Qiu Jintang heard that Hu Zhaoshan had the conditions, he was obviously a little dissatisfied, but he did not dare to vent in front of Yang Zhen, so he could only deliberately lower his voice: "Why do you have any conditions and say, don't say it, don't mother-in-law? Do you know how many casualties the infantry brothers will have to pay if you delayed a while?"

Hu Zhaoshan said without vaguely: "Please transfer a engineer company to cooperate with us. When Commander Liu just launched the third attack, I went up to see it once. There is no problem with artillery close-up shooting, and there are many hidden objects that can be used there."

"But some places have insufficient shooting range. Engineers need to help us broaden the shooting range when necessary. We also need to assist us in laying out more bunkers so that artillery can advance with the infantry. It takes too long to rely on artillery to do these things by themselves, and there is not enough manpower."

Hearing Qiu Jintang's request to Hu Zhaoshan, Yang Zhen nodded without thinking and agreed: "Okay, I'll give him an engineer company. But there is a requirement that he must cooperate with the infantry in the shortest time to wipe out this stubborn enemy."

(The old man was hospitalized recently and had to take time to come back to update. The speed could not keep up. I hope readers who have been following me will understand. The old man had diabetes and cardiovascular complications, and the climate this year is abnormal. In order to prevent the onset of the disease, I can only be hospitalized for infusion during this period. I will find a way to update as much as possible. Please forgive me. There is no way, this is the tragedy of modern families. Haha, there is not even a replacement for children.)
