Seeing that his troops had already entered this large courtyard of the regimental headquarters of the Fourth Division. And has successfully cut off the connection between the two buildings in the courtyard, and annihilated most of the enemies in the courtyard, and the total annihilation is in sight. But at this time, he received an order to stop the attack, and Wang Guangyu was somewhat reluctant.

Some reluctantly put down the phone in their hands, although they couldn't guess why the commander gave the order to stop the attack, but Wang Guangyu, who was extremely obedient, still gave the order to stop the attack.

Although I did not understand the reason for the commander's order. However, in order to be able to completely annihilate the Japanese troops who had retreated into the two buildings as soon as possible after the resumption of the attack. Wang Guangyu strengthened the headquarters to himself, and as soon as he completed the training, he was transferred from the rear, and all the heavy artillery battalions that were the last batch of troops to cross the river in the south were advanced.

This heavy artillery battalion was equipped with Austrian-style 100-millimeter howitzers in the inventory in the secret arsenal handed over by Ma Chunsheng. Although it is an old item from the First World War, the firing range cannot be compared with the new field artillery of the Japanese army. But fortunately, not only are there enough shells, but also because of the large caliber, the lethality of this shell is much larger than that of the 1st Brigade Mountain Artillery Battalion after the Jiangjunshi War, because the original Japanese-style mountain artillery lost too much, and the modified 12 French-made Schneider 75-mm mountain guns.

These 100-mm field howitzers, which are all called 1914 improved 100-mm field howitzers, are old artillery that can only be called light howitzers in the Western armies with complete artillery calibers, and even the Japanese army, which can only be called light howitzers, can be regarded as heavy artillery among the Chinese armies of various factions at present. Although it is an old gun designed during the First World War, the price is definitely not cheap.

Therefore, except for the wealthy Feng army back then, although the performance is relatively good, the equipment of the various factions in the Guannai is very small. Even the Beiyang warlords of those years were mostly equipped with much cheaper artillery. The few who have money also have their eyes mostly on German goods.

These 1914 improved 100-mm field howitzers were not in stock after the defeat of Austria-Hungary, but brand new artillery ordered by the army from the post-war independent Czechs. It's just that these guns, unlike the relatively cheap Schneider Mountain guns and small arms used as reserves, are second-hand goods that have been used by the army.

The reason why they were not shipped out, like the 150-mm mortars and 75-mm mountain guns, was only distributed to the troops as supplementary equipment after a brief inspection, was because the guns were taken to the arsenal for a thorough full body examination.

Not only the artillery, but also the large number of shells in the stock were checked one by one. After all, it is an old gun that has already been used, and it has been produced for a long time, so proper inspection is still necessary.

The twelve guns were originally produced by the Czech Škoda Arsenal and were made of high-performance steel produced in the Czech Republic. Coupled with the gap in the production process, it is obviously much better than the imitation of imported Japanese steel used in the Fengtian Arsenal. Although it is a second-hand product that has been used, and it has been sealed and stored for nearly ten years, it is still good when it is unpacked, and there is no rust on the gun body.

But it was also the first batch of similar weapons imported by the old Fengjun, and the years were a little too long. Moreover, in the previous warlord melee in China, according to the frequency of the Feng army's participation in the war, the intensity of use must not be small. So despite his good appearance, Yang Zhen, who was not at ease, still let the arsenal carefully inspect it.

The overhaul takes a while, plus the deployment of artillery personnel. As well as the familiarization of artillerymen who had always used Japanese artillery with this authentic European artillery, it took quite a long time. Although several months have passed, this is the first time that he has participated in the fighting.

After Wang Guangyu moved this heavy artillery battalion to the front, he did not avoid suspicion, and just swaggered and placed it in a place within the sight of the Japanese army. It was planned that if Yang Zhen gave the order to attack again, these 100-millimeter howitzers could directly inflict the most intense artillery fire on the two buildings held by the Japanese army.

As for whether the possible counterattack artillery fire of the Japanese army will pose any threat to these precious artillery pieces of more than 100 mm that are still sufficient ammunition in the whole army before the shells and equipment captured at the mouth of the Lianjiang River are replenished, Wang Guangyu has never thought about it, let alone worried about it at all.

The artillery of the Fourth Division was almost wiped out on the line at the mouth of the Lianjiang River, and the remaining mountain artillery had already fallen into the hands of Li Mingrui, who had entered the city before him. In addition to a few grenadiers, what did the Japanese army, which did not even have a single mortar, threaten their artillery?

It's just that what Wang Guangyu was waiting for was not Yang Zhen's general attack order, but a Japanese prisoner of war. The prisoner of war sent was not an ordinary Japanese soldier, his rank was not low, he was a captain officer. After seeing this Japanese prisoner of war, Wang Guangyu realized that the commander wanted to shrink the turtle in the last defensive position, and at this time he could not run, and he could not see any hope of winning the battle, and he was already in a dilemma to persuade the Japanese army to surrender.

It's just that these Japanese soldiers, who have always adhered to the style of bushido, are proud of dying in battle, and are shameful to be captured, will they come according to the commander's intentions, Wang Guangyu drew a big question mark in his heart? As a veteran fighter of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, he knows the fighting style of the Japanese army very well.

After seeing Chen Long, the intelligence minister of the headquarters who personally escorted this prisoner of war, Wang Guangyu shook his head and said: "Old Chen, you don't know the consistent style of this little devil. Is it useful to let this guy go and persuade him to surrender? Besides, why waste that effort. The heavy artillery assigned to me by the headquarters has been deployed, and a single shell has blown it up, and there is nothing left to save much trouble. ”

"Don't look at the 75-mm mountain guns in these two buildings, it's the same as tickling, I don't believe that he can still withstand the flat fire of 100-mm howitzers? Lao Tzu has learned well this time, and has already told the artillery to aim at the upstairs window to hit. It's true that his little devil's building is sturdy, but his windows are always blocked with reinforced concrete. ”

For Chen Long, an old comrade-in-arms during the Anti-Japanese Federation, Wang Guangyu believes that he has nothing to hide. Although he Chen Long was transferred to the Soviet Union to study and was assigned to work in Guannai, after all, he was sent out by the Anti-Japanese Federation, wasn't he? Before Chen Long entered the Soviet Union, the two of them were acquaintances because the Second Army and the Fifth Army often fought together. With this premise, Wang Guangyu naturally would not be polite with Chen Long.

When Chen Long heard Wang Guangyu's complaint, he smiled and said, "Old Wang, this time to suspend the attack, it is my construction to persuade the remnants of the Japanese army to surrender." There are two reasons for this, one is that the coal mines in Hebei are now in urgent need of labor. The original laborers of those coal mines in Hebei were all conscripted by us, and the current laborers are mainly captured Japanese soldiers, Japanese pioneer groups, and Japanese workers captured by us in Hebei. ”

"Now that winter is on, not only do we need a lot of coal, but we also need a lot of coal in Jiangbei. Because of the lack of labor, this production is always insufficient to meet our needs. The last batch of coal required for bartering with Jiangbei was delivered only the day before yesterday. ”

"This time, the commander-in-chief signed a contract with Jiangbei, or we exchanged some gold hard currency, plus major coal and iron ore for Jiangbei's supplies. Although I can't say the details of this contract for the time being, there is one thing you can know. The amount of coal needed this time is much higher than the 10,000 tons last time. ”

"Due to excessive conscription in the base area and the shortage of coal workers, Jiangbei has repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction with our delay in delivery. So this time I came to Jiamusi to get a group of laborers for the coal mine in Hebei. These little devils are strong and strong, and they are good candidates for labor, isn't it a pity not to waste them? ”

"Last time, although Du Kaishan and they arrested a lot of civilians of the Japanese pioneer group in Yilan, the number of strong laborers that could be used in it was only more than 1,000 people. Coupled with the traitors, puppet Manchu military and police, and Japanese prisoners of war that we captured, there were less than 3,000 laborers in the entire Hebei Coal Mine, which is too small for a purely manual coal mine. ”

"In order to increase the output of the coal mines, to meet our own needs, and to deliver goods to Jiangbei, it is urgent to find ways to increase the number of laborers. Depending on the situation in the territory, you also know that the last conscription almost ate up the old foundation. Even if there are a limited number of young and middle-aged people, where can we find so many laborers to ensure that the soldiers are replenished? ”

"In addition, through the interrogation of the prisoners of war, I learned that the commander of this building is an old acquaintance of yours, and I have dealt with you more than once. It's just that this guy has always slipped away quickly, and only a few times has he run out from under your noses. ”

"This guy is the middleman of the partnership business between the various wings of the Fourth Division. He held almost all the business channels of several wings of the Fourth Division in his hands, and the liquidity of the various wings of the Fourth Division was also in his hands. If you take him, you must be able to squeeze out a lot of money. It can alleviate our urgent need for funds. ”

"Although Jiangbei agreed that some raw materials could be provided in the form of barter, some spot goods had to be paid in cash. We have a lot of cash on hand, but we can't invest it all at once, and we have to raise some funds for the central government. Now the commander is under a lot of pressure, so he points to this guy and serves it. ”

"If you continue to shoot this shot, you will be happy. But if we beat that guy to death, where are we going to dig up the treasury of the 4th Division? These guys from the Fourth Division can't fight, but they do have a hand in business. Through the interrogation of the prisoners of war, he learned that the liquid money in the hands of this guy alone is a lot of money."

"Old acquaintances?" When Wang Guangyu heard Chen Long mention that the Japanese commander who was now trapped in the headquarters of the Fourth Division was his old acquaintance, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered a person: "Could it be that the Japanese commander in the building is the one who was scared by us when we were fighting outside the old black top in Ning'an?" ”

Seeing that Wang Guangyu guessed it, Chen Long smiled and waved his hand, and after making a boo gesture, he said to the Japanese captured captain behind him: "I have already told you what I should say, and I have already let you see what I should see." As for how to do it, it's up to you. ”

When the Japanese captain heard this, he hurriedly lowered his head and said in fluent Northeast dialect: "Sir, please rest assured." I know Kitano-kun's personality very well, and if Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru is still around, he may die to the end. But now that Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru had died a glorious death under their noses, and having lost hope of breaking the siege, he must have broken the last line of defense in his heart. ”

Speaking of this, he swallowed his saliva and pointed to the rows of 100-millimeter howitzers behind the position and said: "You have now transferred heavy artillery again, and now they have no chance of winning at all." I think if I go in at this time, it should be able to do more with less. As a first-class businessman, Kitano-kun is not the kind of person who has a dead brain. ”

In response to this guy's answer, Long Chen waved his hand undeniably, and after a guard beside him handed him a white flag, he sent him over.

Looking at this guy's back, Wang Guangyu said, "Where did you find such a person?" Lean, if it weren't for this devil's military uniform, just from this fluent Chinese, I thought he was a Chinese? This guy can't be the Fourth Division too, right? ”

Hearing this, Long Chen shook his head and said, "He is not from the Fourth Division, he is an operational staff officer of the Kwantung Army Headquarters. However, he also led it in the Fourth Division, and he was born in Osaka. This guy was the former adjutant of the chief of the Kwantung Army, Combat Staff Officer Hattori Takushiro Nakasa. After being captured on the front line of Lianjiangkou, he was the first of all the captured officers to surrender. ”

"This guy and that Kitano Takatsu have played bare-ass together since childhood, and they are also the general agents of all the business of the Fourth Division in Shinjing. This guy takes advantage of his special identity and is very good at the Japanese puppet. Since the Fourth Division was transferred to the Northeast, he has handled at least half of the smuggling business. ”

The reason why he spoke Chinese so fluently was because one of his father's best friends, a Manchu remnant, had learned a native Chinese from his father-in-law. His godsister's name, I think you've heard of it too, it's Yoshiko Kawashima. ”

After clarifying the identity of this guy, Long Chen closed his mouth. Facing Wang Guangyu's questioning, he just said lightly: "Lao Wang, you are also a senior cadre of the party." Although I haven't done underground work, you still know the rules. There are some things I can't say. In our business, confidentiality is the number one priority. ”

Speaking of this, Long Chen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Lao Wang, you can rest assured that I won't delay you for too long." The commander only gave the guy an hour to do so, and when the time came, no matter what that Kitano Takatsu's decision was, he would launch the final attack on time. ”

Wang Guangyu didn't care about Chen Long's words, and he didn't continue to ask. Just smiled and turned around, raised the binoculars, and observed the Japanese position. Although Wang Guangyu has not directly done intelligence work, he still roughly understands the rules inside. He understood what Long Chen meant, so he didn't ask any more questions.

He could tell from Long Chen's words that the Ministry of Intelligence might have other uses for this guy. I just can't tell myself. What Chen Long said today is already a very exception, if he is not an old comrade-in-arms with him, and needs his own cooperation, I am afraid that he will not reveal a trace of information to himself.
