761, Kwantung Army fryer
A layman is a layman, and the orders given are pure nonsense.
The platoon leader listened to the young driver's words, and his face immediately turned red, and he hurriedly said: "Thank you for reminding me in time, master!" I had never driven a train, so I usually knew that the train could run and pull things, but I didn't expect that it would take two wagons to load coal. Hey. ”
The young master smiled and said, "If you run for a hundred or ten miles, one wagon can be loaded with coal." If you want to run long distances, both wagons must be filled with coal. Otherwise, you won't find coal on the way, and the train will be lying on its stomach. At that time, you can't push people, isn't this reasonable? ”
The platoon leader had an expert pointer, and the spare front of the car soon began to smoke white. The young master told him that it seemed that he would be able to drive in a quarter of an hour or so. The platoon leader was very anxious because he was worried that the little devils from Benxi would come over, but if the locomotive didn't boil, it could only be in a hurry.
However, more than an hour passed, and the three fighters sent out to reconnoiter the enemy's situation still did not find any enemy coming. In this way, I am safe, but the length of the line feels a little incredible.
At this moment, a squad leader came over and said, "Platoon commander, put these rails here, and the little devil will be able to repair the railway soon." Now there is a flatbed wagon that is empty, I simply let the soldiers pick up the rails and load the car and take it away, leaving nothing for the little devils, what do you think? ”
"What else can you do, take it away if you can, this is the battalion commander's order. If these rails can be taken away, they can be used to build anti-artillery fortifications. ”
The platoon leader gave this order, and as a result, the guide made a sneak attack on the Xiamatang Railway Station, which took an hour and a half. But the real battle lasted less than ten minutes, and it was the looting of supplies and the destruction of the railroad that wasted the most time.
If it weren't for the train driver's repeated emphasis that the carrying capacity of the small train was limited, the soldiers would even be ready to dismantle the tracks all the way to Benxi and completely destroy this section of the railway!
Even if the train driver dissuaded them, the soldiers carried more than 70 railroad tracks onto flatbed wagons, and swept away all the locomotive spare parts, signal lights, telephones, radios, wrench tools, and hammer picks in the railway station.
Then he piled up all the sleepers and lit a fire and burned them all. Now look at the Xiamatang Railway Station - if it can still be called a station, even if the locusts cross the border, it is estimated that it is not so clean!
Especially the little devil dispatcher, who was finally found out under the secret guidance of the young driver. A row of leaders not only cut off their heads, but also snatched a gold pocket watch engraved with "Mantie Special Offering" from this little devil.
Of course, taking advantage of this time, a squad of soldiers completely swept away the little devil spies, spies, and traitors in Xiamatang Town, and the gold and silver were fine, and the grain, oil and cloth were naturally a lot of them. Anyway, there is no place to put your feet on the top of the two trains.
After leaving two hundred oceans to the kind-hearted train driver, as well as a large number of unknown little devil military tickets, a platoon leader gave an order to let the "monster train" open the road in front, and the small train followed with a hum in the back, and went straight to the Lianshanguan Railway Station in the south.
"Alas, they cut off the little devil's head without blinking an eye, it's really murderous. But they speak kindly and are so generous, these people don't seem to be people from the Anti-United Nations! Xiamatang is completely ruined, and I won't drive a car in the future. But with this money, you can't stay here, you have to run away quickly. ”
The young train driver, holding a large number of military tickets for the ocean and the little devils, looked at the departing train and muttered to himself for a while, and then realized that he could not stay here for long. Finally, he looked around Xiamatang with some nostalgia, and then turned around and ran.
In fact, the platoon leader emptied the Xiamatang Railway Station, and the little devils in Benxi did not move, this is not an accidental phenomenon, but because Bai Shujie's serial plan has begun to play a role, and the Kwantung Army Headquarters is now in chaos.
The commander of the Kwantung Army, General Kenkichi Ueda, has been in a good mood for some time recently, and the base camp has reluctantly allocated a large amount of new equipment to the Kwantung Army this time, and it is now basically in place.
In particular, seeing the annihilation of the Sixth Division and the absence of the headquarters of the North China Front from Terauchi Shouichi to the head of the army was the greatest shame since the formation of the Imperial Army.
Because of his noble birth, Shouichi Terauchi usually looks at people with a condescending attitude, which makes many people unconvinced. Because of this, hearing the tragic news from North China, General Ueda Kenkichi was still a little proud in his heart.
However, when Deputy Chief of Staff Major General Ishihara Waner presented an urgent report on the enemy situation, Senior General Kenkichi Ueda suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice hole.
"Nani?" General Ueda Kenkichi flipped over the result report, and his whole face turned into a pig's liver color: "The Fuxin First Division and the Chifeng Second Division of the Rehe Front Army were dispatched at the same time? ”
"Your Excellency Commander, I have already checked with the Fengtian Garrison Command by phone." Ishihara said in a deep voice: "The First Division of Zhang Xiang in Fuxin has now crossed the Xiaohu Yingzi Pass, and it is less than twenty kilometers away from the county seat of Montenegro. Chifeng's Hou Zide Second Division was a cavalry wing (regimental level) as the vanguard, and the troops were divided into two ways to attack Zhangwu and Tongliao! ”
"What's the opinion of your staff?" General Ueda Kenkichi felt that he had begun to break out in a cold sweat: "What does Bai Shujie want to do?" Are you ready to capture Mukden and Liaoyang? ”
Ishihara Wan'er hesitated a little: "Chief of Staff Tojo hasn't come back now, we think that Bai Shujie, the devil, took advantage of the fire to rob and raid Mukden. Because Zhang Xiang's first division and Hou Zide's second division were all elites in Bai Shujie's hands, and they rarely attacked at the same time. This time it seems that the comer is not good, and it should not be taken lightly. We believe that "
"Nonsense, let's not talk about it, what do you think should happen next?" Admiral Kenkichi Ueda turned to look at the map and said.
Ishihara lowered his voice: "Hou Zide's second division attacked Zhangwu and Tongliao at the same time, which means that the fourth brigade of the independent cavalry may not be able to stop it." Siping's 7th Division belongs to the last strategic reserve, and it seems that it is going to make a move. ”
"But in this way, there are half of the First Division, half of the Second Division, and half of the Nineteenth Division left in the direction of Fengtian, plus some of the garrisons of the Zhina, and they can't stop Zhang Xiang's First Division with a heavy artillery wing (heavy artillery regiment)."
"Besides, if the troops of the 1st Division and the 19th Division move westward, Commander Yang of the Southern Barbarians and Zhao Shangzhi of the Northern Manchurians will not be able to control it. So, Your Excellency Commander, did you call the Fourth Division in Jinzhou and ask them to go north for reinforcements? ”
"Yaga, this idea is absolutely not good!" Senior General Ueda Kenkichi shook his head: "The order for the base camp has been issued, and the Fourth Division now belongs to the North China Dispatch Army, and my command will not move." It's also a shameless thing for the Kwantung Army, and you can't do this! ”
Ishihara still wanted to fight for it: "However, Your Excellency Commander, if there is no external force to support it, the situation in Mukden may deteriorate. ”
"You immediately inform Kim Yingshan of Liaoyang of the First Korean Division, and after leaving a garrison, go north immediately." General Ueda Kenkichi waved his fist and said, "As long as they can hold Mukden City, I will issue them an order to meet His Majesty the Emperor for free!" Hurry, hurry! ”
"Report to Your Excellency the Commander, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff: Benxi Urgent Telegram!" A lieutenant hurriedly came in and said: "Xiamatang Railway Station, Lianshanguan Railway Station, Liujiahe Railway Station, and Fengcheng have been attacked at the same time, and they all ask for tactical guidance!" ”
General Kenkichi Ueda grabbed the telegram and shouted, "What kind of work? How many enemies are there? ”
The communications lieutenant hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Excellency the Commander: Wing Commander Yamabe Seok-woo (Kang Seok-woo) said in a telegram that the Shina people dispatched no less than two brigades (battalion level) to attack the above-mentioned places at the same time. And the fire is fierce and cannot be resisted. ”
"Eight Tooth Road! The big rice bucket of Yamabe Xiyu! General Ueda Kenkichi was furious when he heard this, and his face suddenly turned hideous: "The strength of a wing defended, in the face of the attack of two brigades of the Chinese people, even called for tactical guidance, and lost the face of the Japanese Imperial Army, dead and dead!" ”
"You go down immediately and convey my order: if there is a harassing attack on the people of China, immediately organize powerful firepower to counterattack the people of China. The Imperial Japanese Army was invincible and invincible. If you don't fight well, you'll all die! Yamabe Xiyou, if you can't complete the task, apologize to His Majesty the Emperor Xià seppuku and work! ”
After the communications lieutenant went out, Senior General Ueda Kenkichi stared at Ishihara and said, "Ishihara-kun, what do you think of the current situation?" ”
Ishihara didn't really figure out what was going on, so he could only talk about the matter at the moment: "Your Excellency Commander: I initially believe that Bai Shujie's main target should be Mukden. As long as Mukden is taken, the entire Manchuria can be cut in two, so that the north and the south cannot communicate effectively and are in a situation of fighting on their own, which will be very bad. ”
"Your Excellency, Commander, I believe that you should quickly communicate with the garrison headquarters and ask them to give orders to the garrison brigades in the following places that they must hold their own defensive lines, and not allow the 'anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements' in the territory to take advantage of it. Then concentrate your forces and fight Bai Shujie under Fengtian City! ”
"Yo Xi, your opinion is very good, I'll call Commander Kuroda here." General Ueda Kenkichi nodded, but then asked seemingly casually: "Bai Shujie's Rehe is now being attacked on three sides, Ishihara-kun, do you think our Kwantung Army's current strength can defeat his two divisions in one fell swoop?" ”
This is actually an unanswered question, and it is also a language trap, which shows that Admiral Ueda Kenkichi has no bottom in his heart. Ishihara has always been scheming, otherwise he would not be the deputy chief of staff, so naturally he would not be fooled in this trap.
"Your Excellency Commander, Bai Shujie, the devil of China, has always been a big problem for the empire. And he has always been cunning like a fox, and he generally does not take the initiative lightly. Now he sent out the two most elite divisions, which should have a deep intention. In short, we can't take it lightly, we need to deal with it properly. ”
, Ishihara said a lot of, all of which are nonsense, big, and don't take responsibility!
However, Ishihara also said a fact that Zhang Xiang's first division and Hou Zide's second division had indeed not taken the initiative to attack in the past nine years, and they were all in a state of passive counterattack operations. Today, it is indeed a dispatch from the south and the north at the same time, so it seems very unusual.
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
