Chapter 163: Ma Chunsheng
After accepting the order, Wang Xiaoming's movements were very fast. Just when Liu Changshun's side carried out the final attack on Kitano Takatsu's headquarters, he had already launched an operation. Accompanied by the sound of dense gunfire, Wang Xiaoming commanded two engineering companies to plant a large amount of explosives at the railway station, the telegraph office, the Sanjiang Provincial Government of the puppet Manchurian government, the Jiamusi city government, the headquarters of the Seventh Military Region, the Jiamusi branch of the Central Bank of the puppet Manchukuo, the provincial and municipal police stations, the regimental headquarters building of the Fourth Division of the Japanese Army, and all the banks of Japan.
While planting explosives in the key parts of the Jiamusi puppets, Wang Xiaoming commanded the troops to use a large number of captured so-called Japanese people and captured puppet Manchu military and police as laborers to load all the materials that could be carried onto the three captured freight trains. The Japanese businessmen who made huge profits by squeezing Chinese laborers and the puppet Manchu military and police who acted for the tiger never dreamed that they would one day be treated as laborers.
As a military center and transportation hub in North Manchuria, although the scale of Jiamusi city cannot be compared with Harbin and other big cities for the time being, the number of Japanese here is definitely not a few. In addition, this is the base for the Japanese army to send the so-called pioneer regiment to the Northeast Manchurian region, and all the Japanese pioneer regiments to Sanjiang Province have to set off here, so Wang Xiaoming has enough to catch tens of thousands of Japanese laborers. These well-nourished Japanese laborers have much better physique than the Chinese.
In fact, under the threat of bayonets, the backbone of these Japanese was no better than that of the Chinese, whom they had always despised and regarded as an inferior people. In addition, Wang Xiaoming, who received the order, adopted a policy of killing chickens and monkeys against the Japanese who refused to cooperate, and the execution was absolutely unrelenting, so that these previously high-spirited Japanese not only worked extremely dedicatedly, but also were much more efficient than those Chinese laborers who did silent resistance and grinding foreign labor.
In fact, there wasn't much to relocate, and when the equipment was seized, it didn't have time to unload the truck. Precious metals and counterfeit Manchurian currency seem to be in huge quantities, but apart from returning them to Chinese depositors, the remaining quantities are not very large. The largest number is the hundreds of tons of steel rails hoarded in the freight yard of Jiamusi Station. With the efficient cooperation of the Japanese, hundreds of tons of steel rails were loaded in just one afternoon.
As for the collection of pack horses, it was relatively smooth. In the face of a price that exceeded the actual value by three times, most of the people who had pack horses who had feared the retribution of the Japanese army were extremely happy to hand over their horses. Of course, in order to protect these people, the drama that should be done still has to be done. In addition to money, the role of the bayonet should at least be revealed.
Whether it is Manchukuo, the so-called imperial paradise under the control of the Japanese army, or the Japanese mainland, the automobile that has long been popularized in the West is still a symbol of dignitary status most of the time. Not only ordinary people can't ask about it, but even ordinary landlords and businessmen can't ask about it. Most people still transport goods on foot, using pack horses or horse-drawn carts.
Northeast China is a major horse producing area and is rich in horse resources. Although Jiamusi is a town, it has been a major transportation route since the opening of the port, and it is the main foothold for merchants to and from the Xiajiang area. Therefore, after Yang Zhen occupied Jiamusi, there were many merchants in the city. With the temptation of money and the cooperation of bayonets, plus the captured Japanese horses, Wang Xiaoming did not have much effort to get thousands of pack horses.
He even bought 500 fine Mongolian horses directly from a Mongolian prince's family who sold horses. The young master of the Mongol prince knew that when the resistance was ineffective, he was not polite. Horses can be given to you, and even ten camels can be given.
But I have one condition, that is, I don't want money, I want weapons. Three 38 rifles plus 100 rounds of 65 ammunition for a horse. A crooked handle for ten horses. And one Type 92 heavy machine gun can be exchanged for fifty horses.
After consulting Yang Zhen, Wang Xiaoming directly took 600 Type 38 rifles plus 50,000 rounds of ammunition, 10 crooked handles, two Type 92 heavy machine guns, and all the pistols from the captured weapons of the puppet Manchurian military police, and replaced all the horses in this guy's hands plus several slaves who drove the horses.
As for this Mongolian prince who came from the border area of Inner and Outer Mongolia and was harassed by the so-called Outer Mongolian People's Army, and several requests for the Japanese to distribute weapons were refused. And the two sides are even more tacit about the use of these weapons. As for whether these weapons would be used to fight himself in the future, Yang Zhen didn't care at all.
Judging from the fact that this guy's so-called most elite is the guards trained by the Japanese, there is no standing posture and no sitting posture, and the combat effectiveness of these elites is probably not as good as the puppet Manchu army. If this garbage can also pose a threat to itself, then you can really jump into the Songhua River.
Although the task assigned by Yang Zhen to Wang Xiaoming is a bit complicated, the overall amount is not very large. Among the several tasks, the most difficult was to load the hundreds of tons of steel rails onto the train as quickly as possible. And the simplest is tantamount to the execution of captured traitors, large and small.
Although Ma Chunsheng politely refused Yang Zhen's invitation, at Yang Zhen's request, he still did his best to explain the addresses, office locations, and all the details of all the high-ranking Japanese officials in Jiamusi City truthfully. With this clue, Dong Ping didn't spend much effort to arrest him.
Jiamusi is the location of the puppet Manchurian Sanjiang Provincial Government, the Jiamusi Municipal Government, and the Seventh Military Administrative Region, plus various administrative and secret agencies large and small in the city, and the number of traitors is really quite large, and even as many as a cow's hair. When Wang Xiaoming finished arranging other things and took over these captured traitors, he was really taken aback when he saw the black press.
Looking at the hundreds of puppet Manchurian officials at all levels and military police military personnel who were captured in front of him, Wang Xiaoming was somewhat hesitant when the handover personnel told him that these were just enough to deal with the level according to the commander's requirements. It is not a pity that these puppet Manchu military and political personnel who sold themselves for glory were killed, but it was just that so many executions at one time did not have a bad impact?
For these people who betrayed the country and the nation, and acted for the tiger, Wang Xiaoming did not have the slightest mercy in his heart. On the contrary, he also hated these traitors who assisted the Japanese in massacring and oppressing his compatriots. The reason why he hesitated was that he was worried about whether it would have a certain negative impact on the troops.
When Wang Xiaoming talked to Yang Zhen about the worries in his heart, and asked if he could raise the standard and kill less, although Yang Zhen was also a little surprised because there were too many people at his level, he did not hesitate for a moment, and his attitude was very resolute.
Seeing that Yang Zhen's attitude was very resolute, Wang Xiaoming said with some hesitation: "Commander, it's not a pity that these traitors die. To be honest, I also hate these traitors, and I can't wait to kill them all in one go. If it weren't for these traitors who were familiar with the terrain and climate, the little devils alone would not have allowed the Anti-Japanese Federation to get to where it is today. There is no one who does not hate these people to the core. ”
"But if we kill so many people at once, will it give the people the impression of indiscriminate killing, and will it have any bad impact on you? Where is the commander-in-chief? And our policy? You once told us about the policy of our army against the enemy in the Guannai, will we violate the policy of ** in doing so? ”
Regarding Wang Xiaoming's doubts, Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "When it is extraordinary, do extraordinary things." If we want to open up the situation in North Manchuria, the biggest threat we face in many cases is not those Japanese soldiers, but these traitors. Since the September 18 Incident, the Japanese army has occupied Northeast China for eight years. The power of the Japanese puppet army here is much stronger than that of the Kannai, and there is a sound puppet regime and puppet army system. Such a change of players will be more difficult for us to open up the situation. ”
"We can't follow the policy of the enemy in the Kannai, that will only make us passive. Only by fighting these minions of the Japanese invaders are terrified, completely destroying their political power and grassroots organizations, and turning the Japanese army into blind and deaf people, can we have a chance to truly defeat the Japanese invaders. Only here can we survive, thrive and even grow. ”
"I am not a murderer, but when necessary, I will take the necessary measures. We will kill them today, so that other people who are desperate to work for the devil can see it, and also weigh the consequences of their continued work for the devil in the future. Don't think that with the protection of devils, no one will hold them accountable, and no one can punish them. Delusional attempts to assist the devils in slaughtering their own compatriots with impunity. It may be a long time, but one day they will have to pay for what they have done. ”
"I emphasize here again today that we can fight for the lower-level officers and soldiers of the puppet Manchurians and ordinary military and political personnel, but for those traitors who are desperate to sell themselves for glory, as well as these high-ranking military and police personnel of the puppet Manchurians, we can catch and kill one by one. There are also spies, no matter how big or small the official position is, they will not be retained. This is the price they paid for the Japanese invaders. We have to fight not only rats, but also tigers. ”
After listening to Yang Zhen's answer, Wang Xiaoming opened his mouth, but the rest of the words were not said again. Seeing that Wang Xiaoming was still a little hesitant, Yang Zhen patted him on the shoulder and said: "Go ahead and execute, whether what we are doing today is right or wrong, the people understand us or not, but I think history will give a correct and fair evaluation." ”
When Yang Zhen said this, Wang Xiaoming was not stupid, and he immediately understood the purpose of Yang Zhen's killing ring. In addition to letting these people use their lives to atone for the crimes they have committed, I am afraid that this commander wants to use the heads of hundreds of people to warn those traitors, big and small, and let them weigh the consequences of continuing to act for the tiger.
After understanding Yang Zhen's intentions, Wang Xiaoming did not continue to argue about anything, but turned around and was about to execute. It's just that just when he was about to leave, he was called back by Yang Zhen again.
Yang Zhen pondered for a while, and said to Wang Xiaoming, who was found again and thought that Yang Zhen had something to explain again: "After the execution is completed, you ask Zhang Ting to write a notice and post it in the most conspicuous place of the execution ground." There are also the corpses of these traitors, which are placed on the execution ground. ”
In addition to the words of warning, the proclamation should also state that in the future, we will take all necessary measures to punish those who continue to work for the Japanese invaders for a period of eternity. Let those who are determined to die for the devil better pray that their masters will never be defeated. Otherwise, what awaits them is a nightmare that they will never be able to get rid of. ”
"In addition, you have dragged those captured puppet Manchu military police, especially those who are difficult to reform and we cannot replenish into the army, to watch the punishment. In addition, you brought Ma Chunsheng with you. ”
Speaking of this, Yang Zhen smiled strangely and said: "We can arrest these traitors so smoothly this time, he is the biggest hero, and this hero should also let everyone know how much he has contributed to the elimination of these traitors, right?" We should also show those ordinary people and the puppet Manchurians who used to work for the devil, this is the difference between serving the devil with all their hearts and the end of the devil anyway. ”
Hearing Yang Zhen's last words, Wang Xiaoming couldn't help but smile bitterly. The commander took a fancy to his classmate's talent, and he knew that he had invited him to join the army several times but was politely rejected by him. But he didn't expect that the commander would actually use this, uh, this somewhat despicable method in order to force this guy to join the Anti-Japanese Federation.
Once Ma Chunsheng was dragged to spread the word in front of those captured puppet Manchu military and police personnel, I am afraid that this guy will not be able to gain a foothold in the enemy-occupied area. Even if the devil doesn't kill him, but those traitors who know who betrayed them still don't want to eat his flesh and drink his blood? Once this matter is publicized, I'm afraid that my classmate will have to do it even if he doesn't want to. Unless he really has the ability to go to the sky, so that the Kwantung Army Command can protect him.
This commander loves his talents as much as his life, especially those who can fight and have the ability, and there are almost no people who are not reused by him. Ma Chunsheng has the ability and talent, and it is not surprising that he can be favored by his commander. But in Wang Xiaoming's impression, his commander has always acted above board, otherwise he would not have been able to purge the troops with various internal sources in such a short period of time.
Wang Xiaoming never thought that he, the commander, would also play these conspiracies and tricks when necessary. And at least for now, it looks like it's pretty easy to play.
Seeing the strange look on Wang Xiaoming's face after hearing that he asked Ma Chunsheng to also go to the execution site to watch and publicize his deeds, Yang Zhen smiled in his heart and said, "Old Wang, do you feel that my methods are a bit despicable or inferior?" ”
When Wang Xiaoming heard Yang Zhen say this, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately quickly shook his head and denied: "Commander, I didn't think about it that way. ”
Regarding his answer, Yang Zhen smiled slightly: "I also know that this method is a bit disgraceful. But as you can see, I've invited me a few times, and even threatened me. But this guy just doesn't eat hard and soft, and I can't help it. There is a shortage of talent in our troops, especially qualified operational staff officers. And a qualified staff is the brain of an army. Whether or not there is a qualified, regular staff is the criterion of a mature army. ”
"As you can see, our staff officers who have been trained by the assault have too many deficiencies, both in terms of business and ability. There are many places where staff should be counseled are not counseled, and where staff should not be counseled, there are blind staff officers. It's really hard to say that as the saying goes, blind staff officers. ”
"Our current troops, although they are quite numerous and equipped, have not yet completed the transformation from a guerrilla unit to a regular army. In several battles, we have relied more on the personal ability of the commanders and on-the-spot adaptation rather than the improvement of the troops' capabilities. ”
"Relying solely on the personal ability of a commander to command an army is definitely not what a regular army should have. Indeed, whether an army can win a war or not is closely related to the personal ability of its commanders, and it can even be said to be a decisive factor. But the commander is a man, not a god. In decision-making, he needs the cooperation of all parties. And a qualified staff officer doesn't mean you are. ”
"Ma Chunsheng is a talent, he shouldn't be buried. He is not the kind of person who is determined to serve the Japanese and be a traitor, I can see this. With his ability, not to mention anything else, if he is willing to be a traitor, even in a puppet army, he will not only be a police chief in a small town. It's just that I'd rather be infamous than join our army, and would rather be a little traitor, I haven't been able to figure it out. To be honest, I don't believe the reasons he said. ”
"Our army is now short of talents, and it is in urgent need of people with relatively high military literacy. Since this person is not a hardcore traitor, but also has the ability I need, then for the sake of the development of the army, I can only ignore his ideas and do whatever it takes. ”
Ma Chunsheng is not a stupid person, if he said that when he returned home after assisting Wang Xiaoming in attacking the Japanese army's Jiamusi Airport, he found that his home was empty, and when he was dragged to the execution site by Wang Xiaoming, he completely understood that he could not get rid of it.
After looking at the captured puppet Manchurian military police who were brought to watch the execution nearby, Ma Chunsheng said to Wang Xiaoming with a wry smile: "I said old classmate, isn't it a bit unauthentic for your chief to do this?" What your chief wants to know, I have satisfied him. I said what I should have said, and I said what I shouldn't have said. It's a good table, right? But why do you have to force the cow to drink water? ”
"To be honest, your surprise attack on Jiamusi this time was indeed beautiful. The entire campaign, from planning to execution, can almost be said to be flawless. You have all reached the mouth of the Lianjiang River, but the intelligence system of the Kwantung Army, which has always been known as a powerful force, has not noticed it at all. ”
"If nothing else, it's this battle plan, which can be said to be a stroke of genius. No one believes that when a whole division of the Kwantung Army is approaching the city, you still dare to draw the main force to bypass the enemy's main force, avoid the opponent's sight, and go straight to the opponent's lair. Not to mention how this battle was planned, this courage alone is something that ordinary people can't do. ”
"The fact that you can plan such a classic battle shows that you should have a lot of talent there. If there is such a person who can make such a battle plan, why should you sir, still worry about me, a man who has been a traitor? ”
