Liu Changshun's change of tactics made Kitano Takatsu, who had no confidence in defending, complain even more. He never thought that he had always relied on firepower to win his opponent and dared to fight close combat with him, and he never thought that so many automatic weapons would appear in his opponent's hands.

To be honest, he has not yet found out where the opponents in front of him were different from other anti-Japanese armed forces. He was wearing unified military uniforms. Zi Dunhua suffered a great loss. If it weren't for the sake of his family, Kitano Takatsu, who had already been to the military court, would have regretted it at this time.

Since I retreated to Jiamusi to supplement, I have focused more on how to earn more money for myself so that after I retire, I can occupy a more favorable position in my huge family.

It is also to gain an advantage in the competition between brothers and cousins ​​who are at least half a team, and even unknown, and always don’t know when another brother will appear. I don’t even put much attention in my current job.

If I had been stationed in Jiamusi during this period of time, I would have gone to the division headquarters in Jiamusi. With the Imperial Army's always terrifying intelligence capabilities, I would not have known the true origin of the opponent until now. However, although I don't know who the opponent suddenly appeared in front of me, Kitano Takatsu also vaguely felt that this army might be the people who defeated him in the northern part of Dunhua.

Although he has never figured out the origin of his opponent, he has been fighting for such a long time and cannot find out whether it is clear. But if he can't figure out where these people came from, then Kitano Takatsu would be really stupid.

He was even more certain that this unit caused huge losses to the 11th Division, the 8th Division and the 2nd Division's previous stage, and even sent the anti-Japanese armed forces to the west. But weren't they all on the front line of Qunce Mountain to resist the main force of the division commander personally commanded by the division commander of Qunce Mountain? Why would they still have the energy to run to Jiamusi's main force to make a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace?

Thinking of this, Kitano Takatsu had no idea of ​​avenging General Sasaki to the First Lieutenant General who was killed in the hands of this army, and he didn't even think of the shame of the battle in Ischoon. At this moment, he felt more fearful and regretted that he was too willing to sacrifice his life and money. If he gave up the idea of ​​waiting for help at the first time and broke through the west with all his might, he would have been able to make it clear.

Looking at the increasingly narrowing defense circle under the attack of the opponent's crazy tiger, it is now impossible to escape, and it cannot be defeated. As for reinforcements, the radio station of the brigade was blown to the sky as early as the first round of artillery attacks. Without the means of seeking help, Kitano Takatsu could only place his hope on the division commander's own sensitive sense of smell.

But in the current situation, Kitano Takatsu knew that he would probably not be able to support the division commander's return. The line of Qunce Mountain is not far from Jiamusi, but it is not close. Even if the division commander has received information and returns immediately, his subordinates cannot insist on the division commander's return as the current situation develops.

Kitano Takatsu, whose defense circle is getting smaller and smaller, and his subordinates are in pain by Liu Changshun's final general attack, and have gradually begun to feel a little desperate. But to be honest, Yang Zhen, who has been paying close attention to the war here, is very dissatisfied with Liu Changshun's performance so far in this battle.

The terrain of the Japanese military camp is indeed very narrow except for the front, but there is no other solution except for fighting hard on the front. Liu Changshun only launched an attack from the front, and arranged a large number of troops on several major traffic roads around the military camp to prevent the Japanese army from escaping. The tactics are a bit too rigid.

It’s not that Yang Zhen didn’t understand Liu Changshun’s idea. He was worried that all the main force would be put into frontal attacks, which would cause major casualties due to terrain restrictions.

Moreover, focusing on the main energy on the front is easy to make the Japanese army break through from other directions. Once the Japanese army breaks into residential areas, using the people as a shield will bring great passivity to subsequent wars. If it causes too much casualties to the people, it will have a fatal impact on the prestige of the troops.

Yang Zhen’s dissatisfaction with Liu Changshun was not dissatisfied with his idea, but was extremely dissatisfied with the tactics he adopted. If he had used a frontal feint attack and flank assault earlier, and used a large amount of automatic firepower to fight street battles with the Japanese. Instead of restraining the three sides like now, only taking a frontal flat push, fighting hard, and fighting hard, and fighting layer by layer, the results of the battle would be much greater and the casualties would not be so great.

Yang Zhen knew that all this could not be blamed on Liu Changshun's performance. The promotion was too fast and he had not experienced a long test. Even if he was working hard, the theoretical knowledge could be compensated. However, the ability to grasp the battle situation was not something he could only learn from the classroom, and it also required a long time of battlefield experience.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhen shook his head and sighed secretly, but did not pay attention to the development of the war below. The battle reached this point, it can be said that it had already been cleared. If Liu Changshun couldn't handle this endgame, then the regiment commander really had no need to continue.

At this time, Yang Zhen's thoughts were even more attracted by another news. Just an hour ago, Dong Ping, who was sweeping the city, reported that several Japanese armored vehicles and tanks that emerged from somewhere used their thick skin and flesh. Under the desperate cover of a small team of Japanese troops riding in the truck, they suddenly rushed out of the west gate and ran west.

The troops that had contacted these things for the first time were somewhat in a mess. Although they wiped out all the Japanese squads under cover and destroyed a Japanese Type 94 tank, they could not stop several other armored vehicles.

Yang Zhen was very angry about this news. So many people even let several thin-skinned armored vehicles of the Japanese army run away, which made him extremely dissatisfied. Moreover, he had participated in many overseas arrest missions in later generations, and he tasted a lot of unusual flavors from Dong Ping's report.

According to the Japanese army's usual style of never saving lives, these tanks and armored vehicles, which were thin-skinned, had no problem fighting against the amphibious machine guns in the hands of infantry soldiers, did not actively support the trapped friendly forces but turned around and fled, which was almost impossible among the Japanese army.

You should know that although these light tanks and armored vehicles are not large in number and are very thin-skinned, they are still very powerful in front of their own troops who have almost never received any anti-tank training or any professional anti-tank weapons. Once the Japanese army devotes their full efforts, it may even change the situation of the war.

There are very likely other reasons for these Japanese troops to do this. First, these tanks and armored vehicles are equipped with things that are absolutely impossible to tell others. In order to protect these confidential materials, the Japanese army even discarded their usual style. Moreover, there is a big man among these armored vehicles.

Yang Zhen felt that it was very likely that the second reason was. According to Dong Ping's report, these armored vehicles did not break through the city as soon as they encountered an attack. Instead, they remembered to run away when the occupation was in a very disadvantageous position. Moreover, according to the final investigation, the location of these armored vehicles was actually the largest and most luxurious hotel in Jiamusi City.

Based on these clues, it is impossible for these armored vehicles to have any confidential materials. No one would be so stupid that they put confidential things in hotels where people come and go. There is only one possibility that an important person was shipped here. What kind of person would make the Japanese army abandon their usual combat style? Could it be Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru, the commander of the Fourth Division?

However, Yang Zhen quickly evaded this possibility. It was impossible. According to the confession of Ma Chunsheng, Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru had already gone to the front line of Qunce Mountain to personally direct the attack. It was not Sawada Shigeru. So who would this person be? Let the Japanese army do something that would not save him?

Yang Zhen, who didn't know that when he launched an attack on Jiamusi, was Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara, the commander of the Fifth Army of the Kwantung Army, was in charge of the battle in Jiamusi. He never thought that the tank armored vehicles that had just run away were carrying a dignified army commander. If he knew, I wonder if he would even regret it?

Since there was no big suspense about the war here, Yang Zhen did not continue to interfere in command, but instead handed over all the command of the war here to Liu Changshun, and he turned his attention mainly to the follow-up plan.

According to the scheduled plan, after occupying Jiamusi, in addition to arresting and suppressing the puppet Manchukuo Sanjiang Province, Jiamusi government and the Seventh Military Control Area of ​​the Puppet Manchukuo, and completely destroying the puppet Manchukuo regime in the Jiamusi area, it was to raise the materials needed by the troops as quickly as possible, especially various pack horses.

As the second town occupied by Yang Zhen, Jiamusi, the most important stronghold controlled by the Japanese army in Northeast China, was incomparable to Weihe County before. Although the history of Jiamusi's construction was not long, it developed very rapidly. In particular, the counties in the northern part of Jiamusi are important production areas of gold in the Northeast, as well as an important distribution center for coal, wood and fur, which is extremely rich.

The amount of various materials seized here is incomparable to a small county in Weihe County. Yang Zhen seized at least three tons of gold ingots that had been refined into gold in the Central Bank of Puppet Manchukuo and several Japanese banks in Jiamusi, preparing to ship to Japan, as well as a large amount of silver and pseudo Manchukuo currency.

Not to mention a large amount of precious metals such as gold, the Japanese army seized hundreds of tons of steel rails transported to Jiamusi in order to repair and continue to build the Jiasui Railway. In order to form the Jiamusi Arsenal, some of the machinery and equipment and raw materials drawn from the Shenyang Arsenal were not yet unloaded, and all of them were seized.

Dozens of various cars left by the Japanese Fourth Division in Jiamusi, including Lieutenant General Shigeru Sawada's special car and hundreds of pack horses left by the logistics corps in Jiamusi, were also seized. This was not the case with the 4th Division itself, which had not had time to count, which had been reserved in Jiamusi, including some additional equipment and a large amount of reserve ammunition.

However, what made Yang Zhen even more excited was not these materials, but some other things. The first thing that made Yang Zhen the most excited was that he found hundreds of military workers and their families who were forcibly moved from the Shenyang Arsenal by the Japanese army in a barracks. Although Yang Zhen's arsenal had opened and produced some products, the production capacity was not large. Except for the simple submachine guns of the two institutions, most of the time they could only transform weapons.

In addition to the constraints of raw materials, the most common thing is the serious lack of skilled workers. This time, hundreds of people were suddenly brought to the skilled workers who worked in the Shenyang Arsenal since his young marshal. How could he not be extremely excited?

In addition to this incident, two other things also made Yang Zhen extremely excited. This time, Jiamusi not only seized the sulfonamide antibiotics that have started to be produced in large quantities, but are also used in large-scale clinical applications. Penicillin, which is currently unmanually synthesized and can only be produced by natural synthesis. Although the number is not large, there are less than a thousand pieces. However, this kind of drug, which is more expensive than gold, can save many wounded people.

Another thing that made Yang Zhen happy was that the army recruited a large number of students to join the army in several national high schools in Jiamusi and Jiamusi Normal School. This group of thousands of students joined the army greatly alleviated the dilemma of the lack of cultural talents and serious lack of intellectuals in the army. Although time was tight, it was impossible to conduct strict review, at least the problem of whether there was or not was solved first. As for the review, we can only wait until the war was over.

In order to protect the safety of these military students and their families, after recruiting these students to join the army, Yang Zhen ordered the confiscated student files of the Sanjiang Provincial Education Department of Manchuria and various schools to be burned.

This time, Zhang Ting was able to recruit so many students to join the army at once, in addition to Zhang Ting, who went on the army to fight, has a lot to do with the Chinese people's nature of watching lively. When they found that an unknown unit suddenly entered the city where they were, there were dense gunfires almost everywhere in the city. As the sky gradually brightened, the streets with many pedestrians suddenly became extremely quiet, and the people in the city even closed their doors and refused to leave.

But before the gunfire in the city had completely subsided, some ordinary people walked out of the house again. Although they were a little afraid, they were still carefully observing the army that came out of nowhere and was dressed in neat military uniforms.

When the Japanese puppet Manchukuo officials in the past were disarmed and detained, and the army was extremely disciplined and never disturbed the people, many people walked out of their homes and looked lively. Especially those young students who had not yet died of patriotism, they even asked curiously around the cadres and soldiers of the army.

Zhang Ting, who was rescued by the medical team, saw many people watching the fun on the street, especially many young students surrounded the cadres. After the soldiers wandered around, they immediately organized a group of only a few officers from the Political Department, and without affecting the overall situation, they dispatched more than a dozen cadres. The soldiers temporarily organized a propaganda team to promote their troops and called on everyone to join the army to save the country.

Zhang Ting is good at eloquence, and her outstanding speech made every Chinese present's once numb heart fluctuate again. Yang Zhen, a small choir composed of twenty people, personally "composed lyrics and composed" "The Song of the Military of the Intellectual Youth" infected every young student present. When the passionate military song was sang, it completely inspired the patriotic enthusiasm that these young students had been suppressed for many years.

In just one morning, Zhang Ting recruited thousands of students. He almost recruited several national high schools and Chinese students in the Normal School in Jiamusi City. Not only did he recruit any of them, but many students from several high school primary schools in the city also signed up for the army.

Listening to the familiar melody in his ears and looking at Zhang Ting who was speaking enthusiastically among the crowd, Yang Zhen smiled and did not disturb her. He turned to Dong Ping beside him and said, "Don't worry about the war on Liu Changshun, the gunfire at the airport outside the city has stopped. It should be Wang Xiaoming and the others who succeeded."

"After a while, you hand over all the work at hand to Wang Xiaoming. If you lead your reconnaissance company to the western mountainous area, you will definitely cooperate with Li Mingrui to investigate the follow-up movements of the Fourth Division clearly."

"The Japanese ran a few armored vehicles in the morning. Although they didn't know what was wrong, they broke through from the west of the city and should have gone to the Fourth Division. And we were fighting in the city, and the Japanese would soon get the news. According to the Japanese's usual habits, they would immediately turn around and counterattack Jiamusi. Whether our next plan can be smoothly developed depends on whether you and Li Mingrui can provide reliable and accurate information."

Looking at Yang Zhen's solemn expression, Dong Ping nodded and said, "Commander, don't worry, I will cooperate with Li Mingrui to understand the next moves of the Japanese army as quickly as possible. When Political Commissar Wang arrives, I will lead the team to set off immediately."

Wang Xiaoming did not let Dong Ping and Yang Zhen wait for too long. Just when Yang Zhen was about to focus on Dong Ping's reconnaissance, Wang Xiaoming, who completed the task and withdrew from Jiamusi, had already arrived to report to him.

Seeing Yang Zhen, Wang Xiaoming immediately reported: "Report to the commander, Wang Xiaoming was ordered to lead the 1st Regiment and the Second Battalion to destroy the Japanese airport has been completed. After two hours of fierce fighting, a total of 23 Japanese planes were destroyed and more than 260 Japanese troops were killed. The Japanese ammunition depot and one oil depot were blown up. Please deploy subsequent tasks."

After hearing Wang Xiaoming's report, Yang Zhen did not ask about the battle situation there, but immediately explained the mission to him: "Liu Changshun's place is almost done, so don't go there. You immediately organize the troops to ship all the seized materials onto the train, and fill me with the three trains intercepted at the train station. In addition, blow up all the materials that cannot be carried."

"And you also start collecting pack horses immediately, and collect as much as you can. Jiamusi is a major land transportation center in the Manchuria area in the Northeast. There are many merchants here, and the number of pack horses will definitely not be small. Money will be handed over to you later. There will be all the gold and silver ships left. You must keep an eye on them yourself and never allow any mistakes. In addition, you will organize a public trial for the arrested pseudo-Manchukuo traitors and execute them immediately."

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen hesitated for a moment and said firmly: "The old rules are still the same for the puppet Manchukuo military and political special personnel. Do not keep any of the so-called Japanese staff, especially those Japanese police. Do not treat Japanese teachers in various schools the same way. However, pay attention to the handling methods for this group of people. Try not to make any public information and execute them secretly."

"As for those senior puppet Manchukuo officials in Sanjiang Province of the Japanese and puppet Manchukuo Province and Jiamusi and traitors from the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, you can discuss with Zhang Ting and hold a public trial meeting here and execute them on the spot. For all the information and files that can be taken away by the Sanjiang Provincial Government of the puppet Manchukuo Province, you can take away any of them on the spot and destroy them if they cannot be taken away. It is already 1:00 pm, and all these tasks must be completed before 7:00 pm."

After roughly explaining Wang Xiaoming's follow-up mission, Yang Zhen looked up at the surrounding area and took the two to a host on the roadside by the guards to politely invite him out of the restaurant outside. He took the map from Xiaohuzi beside him and said, "This is not a place we stay for a long time."

"Jiamusi is extremely important to the Japanese army. Once they know that Jiamusi has fallen into our hands, they will mobilize their troops to rush towards Jiamusi at the fastest speed. So we must all evacuate Jiamusi before midnight today. It is really difficult to get you through these tasks within six hours. But the situation does not wait for anyone, and the Japanese army will definitely not leave us too much time."

"Fortunately, the machinery and equipment transported by the Japanese army are stored on the train and there is no time to unload it. One thing you need to do is to carry the seized materials onto the train, and to organize the students who join the army and all the workers in the arsenal to get on the train. The heaviest of these materials are those rails. However, you can take away as much as you can, and you can blow them up if you can't take them away."

"After these materials are loaded on the train, you will take two companies to escort them. You see on the map, there is a train fork on the General Stone Line to the west to the forest area. After the train arrives at the General Stone Line, you turn here and walk to the end and wait for the next order. However, all the workers still have the few tons of gold. You have to send someone to the commander-in-chief safely. Can this task be completed?"

Wang Xiaoming did not answer Yang Zhen immediately, but stared at the map and pondered for a long time and said, "Commander, as long as you give me the dozens of trucks you seized, and give me a reconnaissance platoon and a hundred horses, I can transport all the military equipment and personnel to the commander-in-chief safely."

"Okay, I'll give you all you want. But you need to collect horses yourself. I just said that one of your main tasks in the afternoon is to collect pack horses for me. As long as you can collect enough quantities, I'll give you two hundred horses." Yang Zhen nodded without hesitation about Wang Xiaoming's requests.
