Chapter 54: Trapped (1)

Yang Zhen, who was feeling sad for Liu Sigou, didn't know that at this moment, under his nose, the number of Japanese puppet soldiers who were still increasing, except for some of the puppet Manchurian military police, were all drawn from the Second Division in Harbin and the Twelfth Division in Mudanjiang.

He sent the entire group of Nobu Changde and the Japanese puppet army led by him to the west in the Wudaoling Iron Mine, which made General Ueda Kenkichi, who was eager to die and atone for his sins, even more furious.

After learning the news that an elite regiment of the Soi Qing Brigade of the puppet Manchu Army was wiped out by a violent explosion without firing a few shots, Ueda Kenkichi was shocked and more afraid than shocked.

In order to exterminate this group of Zichina rioters as much as possible and to give Tokyo an explanation, General Kenkichi Ueda, despite the opposition of the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Ryosuke Isoya, immediately transferred the strength of two brigades from the Second Division, which was still in the middle of the battle in China, and had not yet returned.

In addition to the troops drawn from the 2nd Division, Kenkichi Ueda also transferred two additional infantry squadrons, one mountain artillery squadron, and two infantry regiments from the 4th and 6th Military Districts of the puppet Manchurian Army, on the basis of the strength of the 12th Division stationed in Mudanjiang, which was stationed in Mudanjiang. and more than 300 large and small policemen in Binjiang Province, such as the puppet Manchurian forest police and the railway road protection police.

In order to eliminate Yang Zhen and others, Ueda Kenkichi even did not hesitate to stop the purging of the Anti-Japanese Federation in the North Manchurian region. All the troops that could be mobilized, whether it was the Kwantung Army, the puppet Manchu army, or the puppet Manchu police, were all transferred by him to the front line of Acheng and Zhuhe at the fastest speed.

At the same time as the troops mobilized around the Wudaoling iron mine, which was the last to discover these people, Ueda Kenkichi appointed the commander of the Fifth Independent Garrison for many years, which was dedicated to clearing and suppressing the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and the current commander of the Second Division, Lieutenant General Anai Toji, who has a lot of combat experience, is the commander-in-chief of the 2nd Division, and commands all the Japanese puppet armies in a unified manner. and sent Ryosuke Isoya to fly to Harbin in person to convey his orders to Lieutenant General Toji Yasui.

This general, who is now carried away by anger, even did not hesitate to interrupt the passenger trains of several railways in order to prevent the small army led by Yang Zhen from escaping, and in order to transfer troops as quickly as possible.

As for Ryosuke Isoya, who was the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, he did not agree with Kenkichi Ueda's almost desperate approach. At this time, the North Korean army was fighting fiercely with the Soviet army on the front line of Zhanggufeng, and at this time, a large number of elite troops were left in the rear to deal with a small army of only a few hundred people, which was really a bit of a small and magnified.

The North Korean Army and the Kwantung Army have always been each other's horns. At this time, due to the weak strength of the North Korean army fighting the Soviet army on the front line of Zhanggufeng, although the Kwantung Army was in need of support, the commander used a large number of elite troops to clear out the rioters of only a few hundred people.

In Ryosuke Isoya's mind, although these rioters held the top secrets of the empire, whether it was for the Kwantung Army or the empire, the threat posed by hundreds of rioters was far from being comparable to that of the huge neighbor in the north.

According to the empire's control over Manchuria, as long as these rioters were not allowed to escape to the inside of the China Pass or to the north, the secrets they held were just a pile of waste paper. If the news doesn't get out, what if what they have is important?

In the heart of Isoya Ryosuke, to deal with these thugs in China, he still followed the old method of clearing out the Anti-Japanese Alliance, mainly using the puppet Manchu army, and at the same time sending a small number of Kwantung Army to cooperate. As for the issue of worrying about the leakage of the Ministry of Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply, it is not a big problem for Ryosuke Isoya. It's a big deal, and the puppet Manchu army that participated in the purge will find an excuse to solve it afterwards.

Although he was somewhat unimpressed, as chief of staff, he could only obey the commander's decision. Downward, that's for middle and lower-ranking officers. For the upper echelons of the same faction, going down to the top is tantamount to ending their careers.

Fortunately, in addition to the troops that needed to be transferred from Harbin temporarily, the troops of the 12th Division themselves had already been ordered to go to Acheng to cooperate with Ye Deputy Changde to carry out the clearance, but because of the distance of the march, when Ye Deputy Changde's entire army was destroyed, they had already rushed to the Zhuhe. The transfer of troops from Harbin was also convenient for the railway, so all the troops were in place at noon that day.

Although Ryosuke Isoya, in accordance with Kenkichi Ueda's orders, dispatched the troops he assigned as quickly as possible to rush to Ajo. But for the follow-up purging of Ryosuke Isoya, it is obvious that he is absent-minded. His attention was more attracted by Zhang Gufeng's line.

He was the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, not the commander of an independent garrison responsible for suppressing bandits. Manchukuo had a long border with Soviet Russia, and it was impossible for his energy to be dragged away by a small group of insurgents.

Although these insurgents hold in their hands what is almost the most secret secret for Japan. Although these insurgents had just killed a major general of the Imperial Army, and an entire brigade of elites.

Compared to absent-mindedness, Ryosuke Isoya didn't take this matter too seriously at all. At this time, the commander of the second division, who was kicked out from the post of the commander of the second division who had not yet sat down in his ass, and went back to his old job, and did the errand that only an independent garrison should do, but the head of the second division, Yasui Toji, was very unhappy in his heart.

In Yasui's view, it was enough for these rebels to have an independent garrison to deal with the Manchukuo army. As one of the most elite divisions of the army since the founding of the Meiji Emperor, the 2nd Division should be faced with the Soviet army that was fighting fiercely against the Korean army on the front line of Zhanggufeng at this time, or the regular army going south to deal with China. For this small group of rioters, it is really a bit overkill.

What's more, for Yasui Fujiji, who had no less dealings with the Anti-Japanese Federation as the commander of the Fifth Independent Garrison, the threat to the Kwantung Army and Manchukuo from the Kannai prisoners of war who were unfamiliar with the place was far less threatening than that of Zhao Shangzhi and Zhou Baozhong from Northern Manchuria.

It's just that since the commander of the Kwantung Army has given an order, Toji Yasui, as a subordinate, is not allowed to carry it out after all. Injustice is uneven, but for Yasui Toji, Ueda's orders must be carried out after all.

At the urging of Ueda Kenkichi, yesterday evening, Yasui Fujiji rushed to the Wudaoling Iron Mine in the heavy rain. When he saw the corpses that had almost been blown to pieces all over the ground, even if Yasui Fujiji's cultivation was high and he had the demeanor of a general, he couldn't help but gasp.

Especially when he saw Ye Deputy Changde being pulled out of the rubble, there was only a half-pulled head and an arm missing a hand left on his body, and the part of the corpse only took up one-fifth of his body, and he couldn't help but feel more sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.

For no other reason, it was just because Nobu Changdeok's death was too miserable. If it weren't for the only remaining general on his shoulder, I'm afraid no one would have recognized it, and the only thing left was the corpse of the commander of the independent garrison of the great Japanese imperial army.

What really made Yasui Fuji calm down to carry out Ueda Kenyoshi's order to purge was the rabbit death fox sorrow of Tsunetoku No. After shooting the company commander of the puppet Manchu army, who actually abandoned the noble corpse of the soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army, Toji Yasui left the aftermath to the puppet Manchu military police. And he led the main force to follow the traces left by Yang Zhen and his party.

At the same time, an order was given to the troops of the 12th Division, which had already arrived at Weihe, that they should not meet at the Laiwudaoling Iron Mine, but that they must arrive in the Pingshan area before 1 p.m. and search and advance southward. And form an encirclement from the east to cut off the mountains between Acheng and the Pearl River. More than 100 Manchukuo forest police units dispatched by the Fifth Standing Committee and the Acheng gendarmerie were directly pushed from their current stations to Beiping.

Yang Zhen is both lucky and unlucky. The pouring rain in the evening delayed Yasui Toji's pursuit, sweeping away all traces left behind by their march. Otherwise, even if there were horses to travel, they would not be able to walk fast when the camp was full of wounded soldiers. But it was this heavy rain that caused his wounds to become inflamed, causing a high fever that did not go away, delaying the journey of this small army.

After discovering that he had lost his opponent's trace after the heavy rain, Fujiji Yasui did not have the slightest ambiguity, and ordered his troops not to rest and pursue them overnight. And adopted the way of encirclement on three sides, with the east of the first line from Banfang to Caojiatunzi as the east line, the north to the boundary of the Binsui Railway, the west to the Wudaoling iron mine as the edge, and the south to the west of the Quanyan River as the blockade boundary. Adopt the method of advancing from east to west and pushing from north to south to carry out a sweep of the net in the encirclement.

Yasui thinks that the rainstorm in the evening will cause him problems not only himself, but also his opponent. He was obscured by the heavy rain and could not pursue, and the opponent would also be under the heavy rain and it would be difficult to march. He must still be hiding in the mountains.

The discovery in the middle of the night made Fujiji Yasui, who thought he had judged accurately, ecstatic. He could conclude that the corpse in front of him, wearing the uniform of the Imperial Army that had been stripped of its rank and collar badge, must be one of the people he was looking for.

This person is not left behind, Toji Yasui can be sure. Because according to the report of the soldier who killed him, when he found this person, there was another person next to him. It's just that this man's marksmanship is very accurate, and he can accurately hit the opponent at night just by the fire of the opponent's gun. The captor was entangled by this man, which allowed the other person to escape. After killing this person, he searched for the person but never found a trace.

For the person who fled, the identity of these thugs was very clear, although Yasui Fujiji didn't think so. But he attaches great importance to the identity of this corpse. Because the only one who can have this kind of marksmanship is a veteran, and it is definitely the kind of veteran who is fed with bullets on the battlefield. And this kind of veteran who has been in a hundred battles and has not been injured will definitely not be left behind.

In addition to the corpse, the discovery of the lost horses in the Wudaoling Iron Mine filled him with confidence. Without horses, those people would not be able to go fast even if they wanted to go fast in an unfamiliar environment.

With these two pieces of information, Yasui Toji, who was even more sure that his judgment was accurate, sent all the troops of his soldiers out to launch a dragnet sweep in the blockade area. In his words, even a rabbit has to be stabbed three times, and a bush of grass has to be sifted several times. Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must find out these thugs who killed Major General Novice Changdeok.

And he himself set up his headquarters in the open space under the mountain where Yang Zhen was. Of course, with the experience of Nobu Changde, Yasui Fujiji did not forget to leave a whole squadron by his side while sending a large number of troops to search the mountains.

As for the open space that was going to be used as the headquarters, he was the first to see if the dynamite was planted with explosives by those hateful people. Because the squadron leader of one of the engineer squadrons who accompanied him told him that judging from the point of explosion, the person who planted the explosives was definitely a master. The ingenious setting of the explosion point and the accuracy of the calculation are not something that ordinary people can make.

As far as Yasui knew about it, the explosives in this iron mine were definitely not the explosive yield buried by the engineer squadron leader who estimated that the opponent had caused the explosion that caused heavy losses to the Imperial Japanese Army. At least half of the explosives are now missing. He didn't want to repeat the mistake of Nobu Changdeok, who died in vain.

As soon as he did this, he made Yang Zhen and a few people who were invisible in a cave less than 200 meters away from him and less than 150 meters away in a straight line. Although the Japanese puppet army outside the cave did not find them, a large number of Japanese puppet troops were stationed under the mountain, but they asked them not to go out of the cave to find food, even in the cave, they did not dare to make any movement. Because the cautious Toji Yasui set up a cordoned off with heavy machine guns on the top of the hill above them.

Yang Zhen, who was trapped in the cave, barely lasted a few days. At the foot of the mountain is a small stream, and when Li Mingrui entered the cave, in order to boil some hot water to scrub the wounds of the wounded, in addition to filling all the water bottles, he also used steel helmets to beat more than a dozen steel helmets with water. Therefore, there will be no shortage of water for a while.

The hard thing is that there is no food, Liu Sigou exchanged his life for two pheasants and placed them there, but he couldn't eat them. The devil is at the bottom of the mountain, and there is a guard position on the mountain. This fire, the devil will find out immediately. As for eating it raw, several people haven't thought about it yet.

What gave Li Mingrui a headache was that in addition to not having enough food and being difficult to solve the problem of urine and urine, what worried him the most was Yang Zhen's condition. Just after discovering that Liu Sigou's body was dragged back by the devil, Yang Zhen was furious. Coupled with the fact that he already had a high fever and a wound infection, he fainted at that time.

Although Zhang Ting pressed her chest again and pinched people to sober up for a short time, she only explained to Li Mingrui that he was asking him to control the use of good water, and he was not allowed to use cold water to cool him down. No one is allowed to come out of the cave until the devil has withdrawn. At the same time, after preparing for the last fight, he fell into a coma again.

Touching Yang Zhen's hot and scary body, looking at his burning lips that had begun to burst, Li Mingrui was really anxious to go to the room now. At the foot of the mountain is the devil, but at this moment, the supreme commander fell into a coma because of the infection of the wound, which made Li Mingrui, an old thief who had been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, fall into a helpless situation for the second time.

Knowing that going out at this time would be to send him to death, Li Mingrui, who was in desperation, had to follow Yang Zhen's instructions and prepare for the last fight, which was to teach Zhang Ting how to use the pistol that Yang Zhen gave her before.

Li Mingrui, who had met the devils on the battlefield and squatted in the devils' prisoner of war camp, knew what the result would be if these people were discovered by the devils. And as a woman, what will be the result of Zhang Ting falling into the hands of devils. Rather than being humiliated to death, it is better to simply solve yourself a little bit.

took the loaded pistol handed over by Li Mingrui, and glanced at Yang Zhen who was in a coma, Zhang Ting didn't say anything, just nodded lightly, indicating that she knew what to do.

Looking at Zhang Ting, who took over the rifle he helped to load, Li Mingrui shook his head and sighed, and didn't say anything more, just quietly looked at Yang Zhen in a coma, not knowing what to think about anymore.
