20_20434 Wang Guangyu, who had barely suppressed the affection in his heart for a long time, handed over the child in his arms to his guard, and turned his head to the few people who followed the company commander: "Which part are you from?" Did you rescue these children? Thank you for preserving such a trace of blood for these compatriots in Hailar. ”

When the man wearing a new camouflage training uniform that was only issued by the reconnaissance brigade directly under the military region heard Wang Guangyu's words, he hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Report to the chief, we are the seventh detachment of the third squadron of the first battalion of the reconnaissance brigade directly under the military region, and I am Xiao Guofan, the leader of the detachment. We were supposed to be transferred to take over from the 1st Squadron 2nd Detachment, which was originally operating in this area. ”

"However, we had just arrived at the Qiqihar front three days ago, and before we had time to recuperate, we received an order to immediately secretly infiltrate the area around Hailar to target the bombing of the air force, and were ordered to reconnoiter the specific movements of the 23rd Division. Just yesterday at noon, we had just arrived at the front line of Hailar, and before we could talk to us, we found that the situation was abnormal. ”

"At about two o'clock yesterday afternoon, the 23rd Division of the Japanese Army suddenly surrounded Hailar and blocked all roads in and out of Hailar. The Second Division of the Puppet Manchurian Xing'an Army, which was stationed in Hailar, was also suddenly disarmed. One of the regiments tried to resist but was slaughtered in the barracks by the Japanese. ”

"Seeing that the situation was not right, we and the 6th detachment of the 2nd Squadron, which had arrived in advance, immediately tried to infiltrate the city of Hailar, only to find that the Japanese army was carrying out a massacre. Chief, I'm sorry. We've tried our best, but the numbers are too small. The two detachments together were only 26 people, and in the face of the main force of the 23rd Division of the Japanese Army, they were really powerless. ”

"We rescued these children at the cost of more than half of the casualties. If it weren't for the sudden retreat of the Japanese army early this morning. I'm afraid, let's not say that these children can't be protected. Even we ourselves are not spared. After the Japanese discovered our rescue operation, they did not entangle us at all. After blocking the outer passages of our area, it was directly covered with artillery fire. ”

"We withdrew there, and their artillery fire pursued there. They were slaughtering, and they had no taboo about how many civilian casualties would fall under their own fire. In such a situation, our advantage in melee firepower is simply not available. ”

"The Japanese army even gave up on encircling and intercepting us after they had completed the massacre of most of the people in the city. Concentrated artillery fire and covered the entire city for up to thirty minutes. After that, another intensive sieve-like sweep of the city was carried out. ”

"Not only did we not be able to save many people, but we covered the civilians who rushed out, and many were killed and injured by the artillery fire. And these ordinary people have no military training, and as soon as the shells go off, they are out of order. Many people did not dodge the shells and were killed on the spot. However, those who were lucky enough to survive the first wave of massacres and the artillery fire did not escape the second search by the Japanese army. ”

"We tried our best to feed, and in the ruins of the wall, we fought with the Japanese army for half a night before we could barely rescue these dozens of children who were broken up by artillery fire and parents. And our entire two reconnaissance detachments, now there are only a few of us left, and the rest of the brothers, in order to cover these children, are all sacrificed under the artillery fire and pursuit of the Japanese army. I'm really sorry, chief, that we didn't get any more people out of the way. ”

Hearing the report of the team leader who was also full of tears, Wang Guangyu looked at the scars on his body and the bandages on his head that were still bloodstained, patted him on the shoulder, shook his head, and said, "No, you have done a good enough, really." It's no wonder to you about this, it's too late for us to come, too late. ”

Looking at the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood all over the city, Wang Guangyu couldn't wait to catch up and bite the 23rd Division, which was retreating south under the almost non-stop air raid of the air force, and tear these two-legged beasts to pieces. But in the end, he is already a senior commander, and anger is anger, but Wang Guangyu is still very calm.

He knows he can't act on impulse. Wang Guangyu knew that from the time he received the order, the troops had not rested for several days. Coupled with the fierce fighting for most of yesterday, the troops were already extremely tired. If it weren't for the tragedy on the front line of Yakeshi, the idea of avenging the villagers would still support the will of the troops, and many cadres and soldiers would have been unable to support it. And now, after a forced march for most of the night, the troops are probably trying to pursue, and they can no longer run.

As for the follow-up troops, Wang Guangyu also didn't know when they would be able to arrive. The Binzhou Railway began to be covered with mines by the Japanese army west of Zhalantun, and several railway bridges at key points were also blown up by the Japanese army when they were about to retreat. The entire western section of the Binzhou Railway is now completely paralyzed.

It is impossible for a battalion of engineers of the Nenjiang Military Region to clear the mines laid by the Japanese army on this railway line without a certain amount of time. Even if the reinforcements take advantage of the rapid maneuver of the Binzhou line, to the west of Zhalantun, even if the military situation is like fire, I am afraid that the troops can only get off the car and advance slowly.

Without the Binzhou Railway, the main force carrying a large amount of heavy equipment set out from the front line of Angangxi, and it was difficult to cross the Daxinganling forest area, which had not many routes for the large army to march, without three days. This is still on the march, without accidents.

And the 1st Cavalry Brigade that detoured to the northern front has no news yet, and I don't know what happened. The follow-up troops did not know when they would be able to arrive, and the 1st Cavalry Brigade was unable to contact them for a long time. The 1st Brigade of the Military Region led by himself was already exhausted to the extreme.

At present, Wang Guangyu, who had no troops at hand and was almost helpless, looked at the sky, facing the fatigue brought by the continuous march and battle, and the troops who were gathering the corpses in the city, but he sighed and was helpless. But he knew that he could only watch the 23rd Division, which owed countless blood debts, run away.

Wang Guangyu's side suffered incomparably in his heart because he could not change the fate of the slaughter of the people of Hailar. At this time, Yang Zhen, who had already arrived in Qiqihar with the front command of the military region, was also in the same pain in his heart after receiving Wang Guangyu's telegram. And what made him even more angry was not only the massacre in Hailar, but also what happened to the cavalry brigade assigned to Wang Guangyu's command on the circuitous road.

Although Wang Guangyu never had contact with this cavalry brigade, he never knew about the progress of this cavalry brigade, let alone why the brigade did not arrive at the designated place within the specified time. But Yang Zhen, the commander of Qiqihar, is very clear.

The reason why Yang Zhen knew better than Wang Guangyu about the progress of this cavalry brigade and what it encountered during the roundabout. In addition to the report of the air force, there were also several so-called Mongolian and Soviet officers who came to protest in the reception room of the headquarters of the Qiqihar Nenjiang Military Region at this time.

This cavalry brigade followed Wang Guangyu's plan to take the northern line and make a detour to the flank of Haila in order to break through the Japanese army's defense on the Zha Min River and buy time for the rescue operation. Originally, according to the terrain on that route and the fact that the Japanese army had not deployed troops to block it, this cavalry brigade could reach the Hailar front line before Wang Guangyu.

Although there was only one cavalry brigade, the strength of the two wings of the Japanese army, equipped with heavy artillery and chariots, and a large number of permanent fortifications that could be effectively relied upon, was slightly insufficient. But there was a cavalry brigade of the Anti-Japanese Federation outside the city, and Yang Zhen didn't believe that Xiyuan Guanzhi and his 23rd Division dared to do so boldly against those innocent people in Hailar?

Moreover, Wang Guangyu's order to this cavalry brigade was to make a detour to Hailar with the main force after leaving the Great Khing'an Mountains. Detached part of the forces, taking advantage of the cavalry's requirements for terrain far less than the harsh advantage of armored troops, detoured to the flank of the Japanese army on the first line of the Zhami River. Cooperate with the main force to quickly break through the Japanese army on the first line of the Zhamin River.

But it was this cavalry brigade that in its detour, north of Mount Gurichna, encountered two cavalry regiments of the Mongol army plus an infantry regiment. And this unit of the Mongolian army is not the puppet Manchurian Khingan Army, which is composed of Mongols from Hung Yen Province, but the Mongolian People's Army of the so-called Mongolian People's Republic. That's right, it was the so-called Mongolian People's Army, which was supposed to be hundreds of kilometers away at this time.

These forces amounted to three regiments and were even armed with Soviet-made mortars and light and heavy machine guns, as well as a full set of Soviet-style Mosinagan rifles. After encountering this cavalry brigade, they not only blocked the cavalry brigade from continuing westward, but also forcibly disarmed the cavalry brigade. And even after being refused, they preemptively opened fire.

A scuffle ensued between the two sides, although the cavalry brigade did not suffer. During the battle, the so-called Mongolian army, which had already entered the territory of China for hundreds of kilometers, insisted that the Anti-Japanese Union had entered the territory of the Mongolian People's Republic and was defeated in one fell swoop. and cleanly ate one of its infantry regiments and crippled a cavalry regiment.

Although these Mongol troops were crushed in one fell swoop, the casualties of the 1st Cavalry Brigade in the battle were no less significant. The only high-power radio station it carried that could get in touch with Wang Guangyu and the rear base of Qiqihar was also blown up by the 82-millimeter Soviet-made mortars of the Mongolian army during the battle. This is also the reason why Wang Guangyu has been unable to contact this cavalry brigade for a long time.

The reason why Yang Zhen preemptively contacted this cavalry brigade was because after the battle, those people took the lead in taking a transport plane of the Soviet army stationed in Mongolia and rushed to Qiqihar to lodge a strict protest to Yang Zhen. It was clear that he had already entered the Chinese border for hundreds of kilometers, but he insisted that the Anti-Japanese Union had entered the territory of its so-called Mongolian People's Republic and preemptively opened fire on the Mongolian People's Army, which had recovered its territory from the Japanese invaders.

These Mongolian officers not only insisted that the Anti-Japanese Union fired first, but also insisted that the entire west of the Xing'an Mountains was the pasture of the ancestors of the Mongols, and that it was the territory of the so-called Mongolian People's Republic. It was only after it was shamelessly invaded and occupied by the Japanese invaders that it was assigned to the puppet state of Manchuria. Now that the Mongolian People's Army has repelled the invading Japanese invaders, these territories will naturally be returned to the Mongolian People's Republic.

Not only is Hung Yen North Province the land of the Mongols, but all the land in the world where the Mongols live, all of which belong to the Mongolian People's Republic, and they have come this time not only to demand that the Anti-Japanese Federation withdraw from the so-called Mongolian territory west of the Great Khing'an Mountains, but also to compensate the Anti-Japanese Federation for the losses brought to the Mongolian People's Army during the conflict.
