Mt. Ozaki. The so-called captain of the 104th Division of the Japanese Army was the captain of the decisive gas squadron. Born in a family of traditional Japanese intellectuals, he is a bit obscene. However, before he was drafted into the army in 1937, he was a top student in the Department of Chemistry of Tokyo Imperial University, which is known as the first university in Japan.

This guy was originally going to be transferred to the Kwantung Army's Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department to do chemical research, but because Yang Zhen took the epidemic prevention and water supply department to the pot. It just so happened that the Japanese army had set up a special division and regiment because of the war situation, and there was a lack of chemical warfare talents, so this guy was promoted to lieutenant, promoted from lieutenant to lieutenant, and was temporarily transferred to the poison gas squadron of the 04th Division as a squadron leader.

But I didn't want to be in the battle of Guanmenzuishan and the defeat of the 104th Division. This guy can't keep up physically because he was a student. When he fled, he was left at the back of the entire rout team, and because of the brigade commander's vomiting blood and coma, all three company commanders were killed or wounded. So he was captured along with all the equipment of his squadron of chemical troops.

After being captured, after Yang Zhen's personal action, after a meaningful "painstaking" education. He cherished his life very much, so he decisively abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and joined Yang Zhen's department with his poisonous gas shells. He became a technical cadre of the newly formed anti-chemical warfare corps, and used his knowledge to atone for the unjust war launched by the Japanese fascists and warlords in what he said.

It's just that he, a cadre of the company, is a little special. The treatment he enjoys, not to mention the company positions in other troops, is not comparable to the battalion positions. At least even when he goes to the toilet, he has to keep up with the treatment of two guards behind him, and there is no other family among Yang Zhen's tens of thousands of troops.

Ozaki Mountain, who was found by Ma Qichang's combat staff officer, and didn't know what to do with him after seeing Yang Zhen, remembered the conversation that night, and couldn't help but tremble all over his body, and said in stiff Chinese: "Sir, Ozakiyama was ordered to report for duty." I don't know what you're looking for? ”

After saying that, he suddenly remembered the Chinese name that Yang Zhen had given him, and after telling himself that in order to ensure his safety, he not only asked himself to learn Chinese as much as possible, but also asked that he would never be allowed to mention his Japanese name in the future, so he quickly changed his words: "No, no, it is impotence who was ordered to come to report and ask the chief to admonish." ”

He didn't know Chinese, and he didn't know what this impotence meant. But under Yang Zhen's education, he has long known what to say and what not to ask, and he does not dare to ask more about the Chinese meaning of the name with a strange smile on his face when others mention it.

That night was almost worse than death in his heart, and the so-called education that made him change his mind left too much impression on him. It also brought the sequelae of Yan zhòng. Until today, months later, he shuddered when he remembered that terrible night.

Looking at Ozaki Mountain, who was still trembling at the sight of himself, Yang Zhen smiled and said, "Relax, little impotence." How, have all the necessary preparations been completed? For this guy, Yang Zhen has always called it a small wilt, and as for the yang word in front, Yang Zhen will never mention it.

Impotence heard his question, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Please rest assured, sir, all preparations have been completed." The fuses of all shells have been fully installed, and all special warheads are intact. I assure you with my life that these shells can be fired at any time and there will be absolutely no surprises. ”

After listening to the report, Yang Zhen pondered for a moment and smiled and said tentatively again: "Impotence, do you have any thoughts about this battle?" Don't be afraid, it's just the three of us here. Say whatever you have, there's nothing to taboo. After all, those people are your former compatriots, aren't they? ”

Hearing Yang Zhen's words, this guy hurriedly straightened up immediately, stood up straight, and said, "Please rest assured, sir, I don't have any thoughts about my humble position." These special shells themselves were made by Japanese imperialism and fascists to massacre the Chinese. It is also time for those evil imperialists and fascists to reap the consequences. ”

"Sir, now that I have joined the great and righteous Chinese People's Anti-Japanese Allied Army, I am a glorious Anti-Japanese Allied Soldier. I will unswervingly stand with the great Chinese people and fight for the rest of my life to completely drive these invaders out of the land of China. ”

"As for your compatriots, don't mention it. I have long distanced myself from those executioners who fight for the tiger and slaughter the Chinese. As a glorious anti-coalition fighter, I will definitely do my best to make my due contribution to the Chinese people's war of resistance against Japan. ”

"Let these executioners, evil butchers, know that the righteous Chinese people will definitely make them pay for their shameless aggression." Long live the great Chinese people, long live the great Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army, and long live the great Commander Yang. ”

In order to emphasize the truth of his words, as well as to profoundly express his current inner experience. After this guy finished speaking, he shouted the slogan of defeating Japanese imperialism on the spot, and even shouted long live three times. He expressed his desire to completely break with Japanese imperialism from the bottom of his heart, as well as his admiration for Yang Zhen.

This guy's typical textbook answer is compared to Yang Zhen, who heard this guy talk nonsense and put himself on when he shouted long live, and his face changed drastically. On the other hand, Ma Qichang almost didn't squirt out on the spot. Well, this guy really thinks of himself as a Chinese. Down with Japanese imperialism, why the fuck don't you shout to bring down yourself?

It's just that after Yang Zhen heard this guy shout long live, Tie Qing's face, this smile he could only press in his stomach. I don't dare to show it anyway. After laughing maniacally, Ma Qichang's first thought was that this guy who talked nonsense was going to be unlucky.

Sure enough, after Yang Zhen heard this guy shout long live, he pointed the horse whip in his hand directly at this guy's nose with a blue face: "It's okay to shout long live the Chinese people, and it's okay to shout long live the anti-Japanese coalition army." But don't take me with you. If I hear something like this again in the future, I will settle accounts with you, no matter whose mouth comes from it. When the time comes, I will educate and educate you well. ”

Seeing the horsewhip pointed by Yang Zhen and Tie Qing's face, he knew that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, and his impotence was so frightened that he trembled even more. Hurriedly shut up, except for nodding violently, he didn't dare to say a word.

Looking at this guy, Yang Zhen, who had lost his interest and wanted to discuss it with him again, waved his hand and said, "You go and get busy with you." Didn't you guarantee that these shells were intact and could be detonated normally? I may tell you that if one of these shells does not explode, I will ask you. ”

Yang Zhen's words made this guy's already extremely pale face even paler, and he hurriedly ran back to his position and carefully checked the shells one last time.

After this guy walked away, Yang Zhen, who had lost interest in the discussion because of this guy's nonsense, looked at his watch, turned his head to Ma Qichang and said, "At twelve o'clock in the night, your artillery will start on time." Cleanly return these gas shells made by the Japanese army to slaughter our Chinese people. ”

"At the same time, your rocket artillery should not participate in the shelling of the Japanese troops on the front line of the Lianjiang Estuary. Extend the firing range by 500 meters to cover the surface of the Songhua River behind the Lianjiang estuary. Didn't you just be given 200 incendiary bombs, which you will use when covering the river after firing a salvo of explosive bombs. ”

"The Japanese army mobilized more than a dozen warships, gunboats, and armed barges from Harbin to the puppet Manchurian army, and they are now stationed on the river at the mouth of the Lianjiang River. If these warships do not solve the problem, it will be a great danger to our next operation to cross the river. Your rocket artillery will blow up and sink these warships for me. I left you a correction team on the river west of the mouth of the Lianjiang River. ”

"Except for the four ships that were destroyed and captured by our army in June this year, the rest of the ships are basically all on the river along the Lianjiang estuary. You try to solve it for me at once this time, otherwise these ships will pose too much threat to our future combat operations. ”

After hearing this, Ma Qichang quickly indicated on the map the location of the puppet Manchurian ships anchored on the river, and pondered for a while: "Commander, most of our rocket artillery equipment is anti-personnel blasting grenades, but the lethality of these armored ships is not very large, and at most it can only cause some damage to the structure on their ships. ”

"But if you want to sink it, I'm afraid there is not much hope. If they don't sink them completely and let these ships run away, they will only need to return to Harbin, and it won't take too long to repair them. And in order to burn these ships in the river, the number of 200 incendiary bombs is not enough. ”

"I wonder if it is to concentrate a part of the rapid-fire guns to use the armor-piercing shells they are equipped with, plus the six 20-mm anti-aircraft guns with extremely penetrating power of the Japanese 20-mm anti-aircraft gun company directly under the headquarters? Although the power of these guns is not a hit, they can be aimed at the waterline. ”

"To put it bluntly, these rapid-fire guns are the anti-armor guns used by the Japanese army. Although the caliber is not large, it is armed with armor-piercing shells. It is not enough to fight a warship with a simple anti-personnel grenade, it is better to have armor-piercing shells. The combination of two shells is the best way to hit a warship. A simple anti-personnel blasting grenade can play a limited role in warships. ”

"However, if you fight in Jiangbei, it is likely to cause accidental injury. The range of these rapid-fire guns was close, and there was a fear of being discovered by the Japanese. And wearing a gas mask also affects the view. ”

"I wonder if we can secretly smuggle some light artillery across the river while there are still six hours before the scheduled time for shelling. From the southwestern section of the river upstream of these ships, in coordination with the rocket artillery on our side, they attacked them with firepower. ”

"At the same time, I mobilized a field artillery company to move upstream, and formed an interception line with the mountain artillery battalion of the 1st brigade. At the same time, the mountain artillery battalions of the 3rd Brigade, the heavy mortar battalions of various regiments, and the rapid-fire artillery battalions that crossed the river downstream also formed a blocking line in the lower reaches to prevent them from escaping downstream. As long as the three parts work well together, I think there should be no problem in sinking these old ships. ”

"Although these guns have a small caliber, they have a fast rate of fire. The most important thing is that it is lightweight, and it is extremely convenient to transfer positions. Moreover, there are large reeds in the southwest section of the upper reaches of the Lianjiang River Estuary, which can effectively provide natural cover for it. Although the devil's ships are armored, they are generally not thick, and the targets are large. These small-caliber guns have absolutely no problem if they hit only at the waterline. ”

Regarding Ma Qichang's construction, Yang Zhen nodded thoughtfully and said, "I think it's okay." I will have three 37-mm rapid-fire artillery batteries of the 1st brigade, twelve 37-mm rapid-fire guns. and the six 20-mm anti-aircraft guns of the headquarters anti-aircraft artillery company, and you are giving you two infantry artillery batteries, which you send a person to command. A battalion was drawn from the 1st Brigade to cooperate with and cover the artillery, and smuggled through the upper reaches of the Lianjiang estuary. ”

"But it will take time. In this way, I think the entire Japanese artillery bombardment of the Lianjiang estuary line will be postponed by an hour. At one point, the artillery bombardment was launched, and at that time the Japanese estimated that the main forces should have fallen asleep except for the patrols and outposts. At this time, the effect of launching an artillery strike will be better. ”

Hearing that Yang Zhen agreed to his own construction, Ma Qichang did not get carried away, but nodded cautiously and said: "Commander, please rest assured, I will do my best to leave all the devil's warships in this Songhua River." But you need to be careful. As long as the cannon fire in the upper and lower reaches of the river is heard, our tactical attempt to cross the river will also be completely exposed. ”

"Do you think you're making some strategic adjustments? The little devil's mobility is still very strong. Once our attempt to cross the river is exposed, they can use the vehicle to mobilize reinforcements from other directions as quickly as possible, which will greatly increase the difficulty of our next operation. ”

Regarding Ma Qichang's worries, Yang Zhen believes that it is not untargeted. But Yang Zhen shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry about this. Du Kaishan should have started smuggling by now, and according to the plan, they will cross a regiment within an hour. By 4 o'clock tomorrow morning at the latest, the whole brigade will complete the river crossing. As long as the 3rd Brigade crossed the river, it could cut off all the Japanese reinforcements in the eastern region. ”

"What's more, in addition to a detachment of the 11th Division of the Japanese Army in Fujin and Tongjiang. In addition to the main force of the Fourth Division deployed along the entire Songhua River, the Japanese troops in the entire Jiamusi area, except for a small number of guard troops, were almost all on the line of the Lianjiang Estuary. As long as our plan succeeds this time, the entire Jiamusi will be defenseless for the Japanese army. ”

"The 14th Wing of the 25th Division, which is stationed in Yilan, the closest to the Jiamusi area, is still trapped on the front line of the Haoliang River, even if it knows that Jiamusi is in danger, it is not possible to reach it in a short time if it wants to withdraw. By the time the Japanese troops from other directions reacted, we had already crossed the river. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen patted Ma Qichang on the shoulder and said: "Whether you can fight well on your side and whether it can reduce the casualties of our army's southward operation this time is also a guarantee for whether this southward operation can be carried out smoothly and finally achieve the purpose of our army's campaign." You have a heavy burden on your shoulders, so you have to complete the tasks assigned to you by headquarters. This battle, under the premise that it must be fought well, must be fought accurately and ruthlessly. “
