Liu Changshun's change of tactics made Kitano Takatsu, who didn't have much confidence in defending it, even more bitter. He never thought that his opponent who had always relied on firepower to win would dare to fight melee with him, let alone that there would be so many automatic weapons in his opponent's hands.

To be honest, he still hasn't found out where these opponents in front of him, who are different from other anti-Japanese armed forces and wear uniform in uniform, have come out. Since Dunhua suffered a big loss in the first war, if it weren't for the face of his family, Kitano Takatsu, who had already been court-martialed, would have regretted his intestines at this time.

Since he withdrew to Jiamusi to replenish, he has focused more on how to earn more money for himself, so that after he retires, he can occupy a more advantageous position in his huge family.

It's also for his own brothers and cousins who are at least enough to form half a squad. Even if it is not clear, I always don't know when one more brother will emerge to gain an advantage in the competition. I didn't put much thought into my current job at all.

If he had been stationed in Jiamusi for a period of time, he would have nothing to do and run away from the division headquarters in Jiamusi, and with the terrifying intelligence capabilities of the Imperial Army, he would not have known the true origin of his opponent until now. However, although he didn't know who the opponent who suddenly appeared in front of him was, Kitano Takatsu also vaguely felt that this force was likely to be the one who defeated him in the north of Dunhua.

Although he has never figured out the origin of his opponent, he has been fighting for so long and can't find out clearly, but if he can't figure out where these people came from, then he Kitano Takatsu is really stupid.

He was even more sure that this unit was the anti-Japanese force that had brought huge losses to the 11th Division, the 8th Division, and the 2nd Division in the previous stage, and even sent the commander-in-chief of the invasion and suppression to the western sky. It's just that aren't they all on the front line of Qunce Mountain resisting the advance of the main force of the division under the personal command of the division commander? How can you still have the energy to run to the main force of Jiamusi to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace?

Thinking of this, Kitano Takatsu did not have the slightest idea of avenging Lieutenant General Sasaki to the first lieutenant who died in the hands of this army, and he didn't even have the idea of the shame of the battle of Ichuseuki Dunhua. At the moment, he was more afraid in his heart, regretting that he had sacrificed his life too much. If you give up the idea of waiting for help at the first time and go all out to break through to the west, you may not be able to stand out.

Looking at the defense circle that is getting narrower and narrower under the attack of the opponent who looks like a mad tiger, now it is impossible to run, and it is impossible to fight and fight. As for the reinforcements, the brigade's radio station was blown up into the sky as early as the first round of shelling. Without the means to call for help, Kitano Takatsu could only pin his hopes on the division commander's own keen sense of smell.

But in the current situation, Kitano Takatsu knew that he was very likely to not be able to support the return of the division commander. The first line of Qunce Mountain is not far from Jiamusi, but it is not close. Even if the division commander gets the information now and immediately returns, his subordinates will not be able to insist on the division commander's return according to the current development of the war situation.

Kitano Takatsu, whose defensive circle was getting smaller and smaller, and his subordinates were painfully beaten by Liu Changshun's final general attack, and gradually began to despair. But to be honest, Yang Zhen, who has been paying close attention to the battle here, is very dissatisfied with Liu Changshun's performance in this battle so far.

It is true that the terrain where the Japanese military camp is located is very narrow except for the front, but there is no other solution except for fighting to the death on the front. Liu Changshun only launched an attack from the front, but deployed a large number of troops on several communication arteries around the barracks to prevent the Japanese from escaping. Tactics are a bit too rigid.

Liu Changshun thought that Yang Zhen didn't understand. He was worried that if he threw all the main forces into a frontal attack, he would suffer heavy casualties due to the terrain constraints.

And by focusing mainly on the front, it was easy for the Japanese to break through from other directions. Once the Japanese army breaks through into residential areas, using the common people as shields will bring great passivity to the subsequent war. If it inflicts excessive casualties on the people, it will have a fatal impact on the prestige of the troops.

Yang Zhen's dissatisfaction with Liu Changshun was not because he was dissatisfied with his idea, but because he was extremely dissatisfied with the tactics he used. If you had used a frontal feint earlier, a flank assault, and a large amount of automatic firepower to fight street battles with devils. Instead of being restrained on three sides like now, only taking a line of flat push on the front, fighting to the death, and gnawing layer by layer, the results will be much greater, and the casualties will not be so large.

For Liu Changshun's appearance, Yang Zhen knew that this could not be all blamed on him. The promotion was too fast and did not go through a long test. Even if you work hard, this theoretical knowledge can make up for it. However, the ability to grasp the battle situation is not only learned from the classroom, but also requires a long period of battlefield experience.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhen shook his head and sighed secretly, but he didn't pay attention to the development of the war below. The battle has reached this point, and it can be said that it has already been seen. If Liu Changshun can't clean up this mess again, then there is really no need for this head of the regiment to continue to be the leader.

At this time, Yang Zhen's mind was 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 came out of nowhere suddenly rushed out of the west gate and ran westward under the desperate cover of a small group of Japanese soldiers in trucks.

And the troops, who came into contact with these things for the first time, were more or less in a hurry. Although they completely annihilated the Japanese squad covering and destroyed one Japanese Type 94 tank, they were unable to stop several other armored vehicles.

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

According to the Japanese army's consistent style of never seeing death and not saving them, it was almost unimaginable among the Japanese army that these tanks and armored vehicles, although thin-skinned, but had no problem against the infantry machine guns, turned around and fled without taking the initiative to support the trapped friendly forces in the face of fighting everywhere in the city.

You must know that although these light tanks and armored vehicles are not numerous in number and are very thin-skinned, they are still very powerful in front of their own troops, who have hardly received any anti-tank training and do not have any professional anti-tank weapons. Once the Japanese army is fully engaged, it may even change the tide of the war.

It is very likely that these Japanese soldiers did this for other reasons. One is that these tanks and armored vehicles are equipped with something that is absolutely impossible to tell. In order to protect these classified materials, the Japanese army even discarded its usual style. And then there is the possibility that there is a big man among these armored vehicles.

Yang Zhen felt that it was likely to be the second reason. Because according to Dong Ping's report, these armored vehicles did not break through as soon as they were attacked in the city. Instead, when the occupation was at a considerable disadvantage, I remembered to run. Moreover, it was finally confirmed that the location of these armored vehicles was actually the largest and most luxurious hotel in Jiamusi City.

According to these clues, it is impossible to have any classified materials in these armored vehicles. No one would be stupid enough to put confidential stuff in a hotel where people come and go. There is only one possibility, and an important person was shipped in it. What kind of characters will make the Japanese army abandon its usual combat style? Could it be Lieutenant General Shigeru Sawada, commander of the 4th Division?

However, Yang Zhen quickly ruled out this possibility. Impossible, according to that Ma Chunsheng's confession, Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru had already gone to the front line of Qunce Mountain to personally direct the attack. It's not Shigeru Sawada, so what kind of person will this character be, so that the Japanese army will also do something that will not be saved?

I didn't know that when I launched an attack on Jiamusi, Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara, commander of the Fifth Army of the Kwantung Army, was sitting in Jiamusi to supervise the battle, Yang Zhen, who didn't expect that the tanks and armored vehicles that had just run away were actually carrying a dignified army commander. If he knew, I wonder if he would even regret his intestines?

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

According to the predetermined plan, after occupying Jiamusi, in addition to capturing and suppressing the puppet Manchurian Sanjiang Province and the Jiamusi government and the puppet Manchurian Seventh Military Region, and completely destroying the puppet Manchu regime in the Jiamusi area, it is to raise the materials needed by the troops as quickly as possible, especially all kinds of pack horses.

As the second town occupied by Yang Zhen, as a hub of water and land transportation, Jiamusi, the most important stronghold of the Japanese army's control of Northeast Manchuria, could not be compared with the previous Weihe county. Although the history of Jiamusi is not long, it has developed rapidly. In particular, the northern counties of Jiamusi are important producing areas of gold in Northeast China, as well as important distribution centers for coal, timber and fur, and are extremely rich.

The amount of various materials seized here is simply incomparable to that of a small county in Weihe County. Yang Zhen seized at least three tons of gold that had been smelted into gold ingots and was ready to be shipped to Japan, as well as a large amount of silver and puppet Manchurian currency, in Jiamusi's puppet Manchurian central bank and several Japanese banks.

Not counting a large amount of gold and other precious metals, the Japanese army alone seized hundreds of tons of steel rails that arrived in Jiamusi in order to repair and continue to build the Jiasui Railway. In order to establish the Jiamusi Arsenal, some of the equipment and raw materials transferred by the Japanese army from the Shenyang Arsenal have not been unloaded, and all of them have been captured.

Dozens of various vehicles left in Jiamusi by the Fourth Division of the Japanese Army, including the special car of Lieutenant General Shigeru Sawada and the hundreds of pack horses left in Jiamusi by the baggage wing, were also captured. This is not counting the various spare materials that the Fourth Division has not had time to count at this time, including the replenishment of some equipment and a large amount of reserve ammunition.

However, what made Yang Zhen more excited was not these materials, but some other things. The first, and what excites Yang Zhen the most, was the discovery of hundreds of military workers and their families who had been forcibly relocated from the Shenyang Arsenal by the Japanese army in a barracks of the Japanese army. Although Yang Zhen's arsenal has been opened, some products have been produced. But the production capacity has not been large, except for two simple submachine guns with mechanisms, most of the time only the modification of weapons can be carried out.

In addition to the constraints on raw materials, the most common is the lack of skilled workers in Yanzhòng. And this time, hundreds of people were brought to work in the Shenyang Arsenal at once, many of them from the time of the young marshal, how could this not make him extremely excited.

In addition to this incident, there were two other things that also made Yang Zhen extremely excited. This time, Jiamusi not only seized the sulfonamide antibiotics that had been produced in large quantities at this time, but also seized penicillin, which could not be synthesized artificially and could only be synthesized naturally through guò, and could not be produced on a large scale. Although the number is small, less than a thousand. But this kind of medicine, which is now more expensive than gold, can save many wounded.

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 Shidao School. The fact that these thousands of students joined the army greatly alleviated the dilemma of the lack of Chinese talents in the army and the lack of intellectuals in Yanzhòng. Although the time constraints did not allow for a rigorous review, at least the question of whether there was a problem was solved first. As for censorship, we can only wait until the war is over.

In order to protect the safety of these students and their families, after recruiting these students into the army, Yang Zhen ordered the student files of the Sanjiang Provincial Department of Education and various schools of the puppet Manchurian State to be burned.

This time, so many students were recruited to join the army at once, in addition to Zhang Ting, who went out with the army. To be honest, it has a lot to do with the Chinese nature of watching lively. After discovering that an unidentified army suddenly entered the city where he was located, there were dense gunshots almost everywhere in the city, and the streets that had already had many pedestrians suddenly became silent as the sky gradually brightened, and the people in the city closed their doors and did not come out.

But before the gunfire in the city had completely subsided, some of the civilians went out of their homes again, although a little afraid, but still carefully observing the army that came out of nowhere, dressed in neat military uniforms.

After seeing that the Japanese puppet Manchurian officials and policemen in the past were disarmed and imprisoned, and this army was extremely disciplined and never disturbed the people, many people went out of their homes one after another to look lively. In particular, those young students whose patriotism has not been extinguished are even more curious and ask questions about the cadres and soldiers surrounding the troops.

Zhang Ting, who accompanied the medical team to the rescue, saw that many people on the street were watching the excitement, especially after many young students were hanging around the cadres and soldiers, she immediately organized a regiment of only a few officers from the political office, and without affecting the overall situation, more than a dozen cadres and soldiers were temporarily organized to organize a propaganda team to publicize their troops and call on everyone to join the army to save the country.

Zhang Ting's eloquence was good, and her excellent speech made the once numb hearts of every Chinese present fluctuate a little. And Yang Zhen, a small choir of 20 people, personally "composed lyrics and music" of "Song of Intellectual Youth in the Army", infected every young student present. When the passionate military song was sung, it completely aroused the patriotic enthusiasm that had been suppressed in the hearts of these young students for many years.

In just one morning, Zhang Ting enrolled thousands of students. He almost recruited all the Chinese students in several national high schools and Shidao schools in Jiamusi City, and many students from several senior elementary schools in the city also signed up to join the army.

Listening to the familiar melody in his ears and looking at Zhang Ting, who was giving a high-spirited speech in the crowd, Yang Zhen smiled and did not disturb her, turned to Dong Ping beside him and said, "You don't care about the war on Liu Changshun's side, the gunfire at the airport outside the city has stopped." It should be Wang Xiaoming who succeeded them. ”

"In a moment, you will hand over all the work at hand to Wang Xiaoming, and you will lead your reconnaissance company to the western mountainous area, and you will definitely cooperate with Li Mingrui to give me a clear picture of the follow-up movements of the Fourth Division."

"In the morning, the little devils ran a few armored vehicles, although I don't know what is boring, but they broke through from the west of the city, and they should be going to the fourth division. And we are fighting in the city to the earth, and the little devils will soon get the news. According to the usual habit of little devils, they will immediately turn around and fight back against Jiamusi. Whether our next plan can be carried out smoothly depends on whether you and Li Mingrui can come up with reliable and accurate information. ”

Looking at Yang Zhen's solemn expression, Dong Ping nodded and said, "Commander, don't worry, I will definitely cooperate with Li Mingrui to find out the next move of the Japanese army as quickly as possible." As soon as Commissar Wang arrived, I immediately led the team to set off. ”

Wang Xiaoming did not let Dong Ping and Yang Zhen wait too long, and when Yang Zhen was explaining the focus of Dong Ping's reconnaissance, Wang Xiaoming, who had completed the task and withdrew to Jiamusi, had already rushed to report to him.

Seeing Yang Zhen, Wang Xiaoming immediately reported: "Report to the commander, Wang Xiaoming was ordered to lead the first regiment and the second battalion to destroy the Japanese airfield. After two hours of fierce fighting, a total of 23 Japanese planes were destroyed and more than 260 Japanese soldiers were killed. Blew up one ammunition depot and one oil depot for the Japanese army. Deploy the follow-up tasks. ”

After listening to Wang Xiaoming's report, Yang Zhen didn't ask him much about the battle situation there, but immediately gave him the task and said: "Liu Changshun is almost there, don't go over." You immediately organized the troops to immediately load all the captured supplies on the trains, and filled me with the three trains that were intercepted at the railway station. In addition, blow up all the supplies that cannot be carried. ”

"And you immediately start collecting pack horses, and you can collect as many as you can. Jiamusi is an important land transportation town in the Northeast Manchurian region, where there are many merchants, and the number of pack horses will definitely not be in the minority. The money, Dong Ping will hand it over to you in a while. And all the gold and silver are all shipped away, and you have to keep an eye on it yourself, and it is absolutely not allowed to travel cuò. In addition, you will immediately organize a public trial of the captured puppet Manchu traitors and execute them all. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen hesitated for a moment, but still said resolutely: "For the puppet Manchurian military and political personnel, it is still the old rule. For the so-called Japanese staff, especially those Japanese policemen, do not leave any of them. Japanese teachers in each school are treated equally. However, it is necessary to pay attention to the treatment of this group of people. Try not to make it public, to be executed in secret. ”

"As for the captured high-ranking puppet Manchurian officials in Sanjiang Province and Jiamusi, as well as the traitors of the Anti-Japanese Federation, you and Zhang Ting will sum it up, and after holding a public trial here, they will be executed on the spot. For all the materials and archives of the puppet Manchurian Sanjiang Provincial Government, all the materials and archives that can be taken away can be taken away, and all those that cannot be taken away should be destroyed on the spot, and not a single one should be kept. It was already 1 p.m., and the tasks were to be completed by 7 p.m. ”

After roughly explaining Wang Xiaoming's follow-up tasks, Yang Zhen looked up at the surroundings, and took the two of them to the side of the road, where the owner had been politely invited out of the restaurant by the security personnel, and took the map from the little tiger next to him and said, "This is not a place for us to stay for a long time. ”

"Jiamusi is extremely important to the Japanese army, once they know that Jiamusi is in our hands, they will mobilize troops to rush towards Jiamusi as quickly as possible. Therefore, we must evacuate Jiamusi before midnight today. It's a bit difficult to get you to do these tasks in six hours. But the shape does not wait for anyone, and the Japanese army will definitely not leave us much time. ”

"But fortunately, the equipment transported by the Japanese army was stored on the train, and it was not yet time to unload. One of the things you need to do is load the captured supplies into the car, and the other is to organize the students who have joined the army and all the workers of the arsenal to get on the bus. The heaviest of these materials are the rails. However, you can take as many of these rails as you can, and you can blow up all those you can't take away. ”

"After the supplies are loaded onto the train, you will take two companies to escort them. You see, on the map, there is a train turnoff on the first line of Jiangjunshi leading west to the forest area. When the train arrives at the General's Rock, you turn here and walk to the end to wait for your next order. However, all the workers and those tons of gold, you must send someone to send me safely to the commander-in-chief first. 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 captured, 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, you'll get everything you want. But you need to collect the horses yourself. As I said, one of your main tasks in the afternoon is to collect pack horses for me. As long as you can gather enough horses, I'll give you two hundred. Regarding Wang Xiaoming's requests, Yang Zhen nodded and agreed without the slightest hesitation.
