Chapter 157: Battle of Yuhara (4)

The first line of Qunce Mountain is lively. In order to break through the opponent's resistance, Sawada Shigeru did his best to complete the encirclement. After two days of hard fighting, they finally arrived at the garrison area of the core fortifications of the secret warehouse in Qunce Mountain, and the second regiment and the first part of the third regiment commanded by Yang Zhen had secretly detoured to his base camp, the periphery of Jiamusi.

In order to ensure the suddenness of the raid on Jiamusi, conceal his tactical intentions, and avoid the almost ubiquitous spies of the Japanese army, Yang Zhen acted extremely cautiously. He did not choose the southern route of the circuit, but chose to first enter the hinterland of the Xiaoxing'an Mountains from the Qunce Mountains to the west, and then suddenly turned east north of the Nata River, and then turned southeast after crossing the Hejia Railway on the Jiangjun Shishan line.

After crossing the uninhabited swamps and wastelands in the north of Jiamusi and Tangyuan, speed up the march and rush straight to Jiamusi at the speed of a rapid march. At midnight on the second day of departure from Qunce Mountain, Yang Zhen's troops arrived at the northern gateway of Jiamusi, the first line of the Lianjiang Estuary.

For the sake of secrecy, not only did all the marches take place at night, but also try to avoid all inhabited places. If you can't avoid it, you can also go around it at night. At this time, the vast area in the north of Jiamusi, that is, the Great Northern Wilderness that everyone was familiar with in later generations, had not yet been developed. Most of them are uninhabited swamps and wastelands. The population is far from being comparable to that of later generations. Except for a few villages, most of them are barren. Yang Zhen mainly chose these places to march, and along the way, he could be regarded as avoiding the omnipresent eyeliner of the Japanese army.

It's just that along the way, what he didn't expect was that it was not people who brought him the most trouble, but dogs commonly raised by the people in the Northeast. It's good to say that the people in the mountains have long been relocated because of the return of the devils. But when it came to the plains, even if Yang Zhen was more careful, it was impossible to completely avoid passing through the village.

Even if it was a night march, it would be absolutely impossible for a large army of thousands of men, plus a large number of horses carrying heavy loads and heavy weapons, to move at all. Even if there is a certain distance, although people may not be able to hear, the dog is deaf and clear-sighted. As soon as there was movement, he screamed dutifully.

Although Yang Zhen was very fond of dogs in his later life, even in Qunce Mountain, he also took in a military dog from the Japanese garrison there. But at this time, Yang Zhen is surprisingly disgusted with these guys. Listening to the barking of dogs from time to time from the distant village, Yang Zhen could only smile bitterly. No wonder I heard some old Balu say in later generations that when I was fighting guerrilla night marches, I was afraid of encountering dogs in that village.

Fortunately, Tangyuan, as one of the main bases of the original Anti-Japanese Third Route Army, is a key area for the little devils to return to the tun and merge their households. In the past, there were not many villages and towns scattered on the Sanjiang Plain, but they had already been gathered into several large group tribes by the ghosts.

Especially in the plains near the shallow mountainous areas, the number of villages is very small. It turned out that a large amount of cultivated land had been reclaimed, and much of it had been barren. Along the way, there are more places to avoid than the so-called pioneer regiments and the large and small coal kilns that dot the Heli area.

These days, after several battles on the front line of Miaolingzi Mountain and Fasi River, the puppet Manchu military and police in the northern area of Tangyuan have almost been transferred, and most of them have gone and never returned. Before they could replenish the situation, a small number of puppet Manchurian military and police who stayed behind in the group tribe did not dare to come out to inspect even if they found anything abnormal.

For these puppet Manchurian military police, the Japanese are looking for a post-account, and that is a matter for the future. Go out now, if you really run into those so-called redbeards, then you will be unlucky. Not only did the puppet Manchu military police dare not come out, but even the Japanese among the puppet Manchu military and police did not dare to come out.

As reservists, they are different from those fanatical young soldiers, and they are all dragged with their families. It's long gone that fanaticism. They're not stupid either, are they? So although the dogs in the village brought some trouble to Yang Zhen's march, in general, it was still not big.

All the way to the march, Yang Zhen did not ride the foreign horse that Dong Ping gave him, which was carrying a Type 92 heavy machine gun. In order to ensure the raid on Jiamusi, Yang Zhen brought out almost all the pack horses in Qunce Mountain.

In other words, if the battle situation has not changed after five days, he has not been able to take Jiamusi. When Guo Bingxun retreated, he could only blow up all the remaining supplies, after all, there was no way for trucks to go on mountain roads.

In fact, Yang Zhen's order to Guo Bingxun was to blow up all the materials that could not be carried if the battle situation did not change within five days and when it was necessary to retreat. Anyway, most of the ammunition and supplies have been transported. There aren't many that really remain. Most of it is ammunition left over for combat. Yang Zhen's meaning is very clear, and he must not let the materials drag down the mobility of the troops.

Compared with whether the materials can be retained in the end, whether the Qunce Mountain side can hold on to it for five days according to his own requirements, Yang Zhen is more worried about the enemy situation in Jiamusi. After arriving at the line of Lianjiangkou, Yang Zhen did not rush to attack. At this time, it was the spring flood period of the Songhua River, and the river water volume was extremely large. In the case that the ferry cannot be solved in a short time, if you want to cross the river, you can only take the Lianjiangkou railway bridge first.

However, the situation of the enemy army at the mouth of the Lianjiang River is still blackened. As the north gate of Jiamusi, the throat of the Hejia Railway, the little devil will not set up a garrison here. It won't be too much, but it's still a bit of a hassle. If he forcibly launched an attack, although he could take the Lianjiang Estuary by relying on the advantage of firepower and troops, he did not hesitate to take a long detour before, and all the painstaking efforts of the great detour were exposed.

Looking at the Lianjiang Estuary, which was pitch black at night and could not actually see anything, Yang Zhen put down the binoculars in his hand, turned to Liu Changshun and Dong Ping beside him and said: "Lianjiangkou is the gateway to the north of Jiamusi, and its railway bridge is the place where we must cross the Songhua River. Unless we can get a large number of ferries without alarming the Japanese puppet army. ”

Yang Zhen raised his head and looked at Dong Pingdao: "You lead the team to personally touch the situation of the Japanese puppet army here." If it doesn't work, grab a tongue. Try not to shoot, here and Jiamusi can be said to be across the river, only more than 30 kilometers away from Jiamusi. As soon as the gun went off, we just went to the suddenness of the tactics. ”

After hesitating for a moment, Yang Zhen still said to Dong Ping: "After you lead the team down, find out the deployment of the Japanese puppet army at the mouth of the Lianjiang River." If the number of people is small, it will be solved directly. However, you have to remember to move fast, and the soldiers are fast. Others have done everything, leaving two alive. ”

After listening to Yang Zhen's order, Dong Ping glanced at the sky, did not dare to delay in the slightest, turned around and took his reconnaissance company under the cover of night, and went straight to the sleeping Lianjiang Estuary. Looking at his back, Yang Zhen didn't worry about whether he could complete the task. Although the training of the reconnaissance battalion is still lacking to a certain extent, it has already taken shape.

Although it cannot be compared with the special forces of later generations, it should be said that it is still qualified as a tactical scout. If there are not many defenders, it is relatively easy to complete such a task. Judging from the topography of the Lianjiang estuary and the area of this market town, there should not be too many defenders here.

Knowing that the situation was severe, it was already midnight, and if the troops could not all cross the river before dawn, the commander would not have the slightest scruples to attack Dong Ping, who had been exposed, in a detour arranged by the commander, and he would move extremely quickly. In less than half an hour, he had already led a team of people to escort a team of disheveled clothes, and at first glance, they were driven back by the puppet Manchu military police who were carried out of the bed.

Seeing Yang Zhen, Dong Ping hurriedly reported: "Commander, we have followed the order and taken the Lianjiang Estuary without firing a single shot." A total of 23 puppet Manchurian policemen were killed and 45 were captured. Among them are a police sub-commissioner and 20 railway policemen. A batch of weapons and ammunition was seized, and there were no casualties among our troops. ”

After listening to Dong Ping's report, Yang Zhen glanced at the tightly tied up behind him, but at the moment he was trembling, if he hadn't been tied to each other by ropes, I am afraid that the puppet Manchurian policemen who had already been piled up on the ground would have been piled up, frowned and said: "If it weren't for these prisoners, what I wanted was the enemy situation in the Jiamusi area." ”

Hearing Yang Zhen's words, Dong Ping was slightly stunned, and immediately reacted that he had made a mistake. Dong Ping, who found out that he had made a strict mistake, couldn't help but look at Yang Zhen with some embarrassment and said, "I'm afraid you're worried." After dealing with the defending enemy, they hurried back. The confession has not yet been asked. I'm going to interrogate. ”

Seeing Dong Ping's reaction, Yang Zhen could only shake his head and smile bitterly: "You go and bring the branch director over, and I will interrogate him personally." For the rest of the people, you arrange for the people to hurry up and interrogate them. I want to know what I want in the shortest possible time. ”

After that, he turned his head to Liu Changshun and said, "You immediately command the troops to immediately enter the Lianjiang Estuary, and give me a firm grip on the railway bridge." Have the sappers plant explosives on the bridge, but don't blow up the bridge until you get the order, and don't block passing traffic for the time being. In addition, I will control all the employees of the railway, and don't let any of them go. Remember, I want all the railroad employees. In addition, tell the troops to do a good job of concealment. ”

After Liu Changshun led the troops to leave, Yang Zhen ordered Dong Ping to bring over the police chief who was almost not frightened. For Yang Zhen, he wants to interrogate him personally, not that he doesn't trust Dong Ping. Yang Zhen still believes in the ability of this disciple he is most proud of. Although there has just been a small flaw, it is a flaw after all.

But for Yang Zhen, who was eager to learn first-hand information about the enemy situation in Jiamusi, there were some things he had to understand in person and make a judgment in the shortest possible time. Because whether or not Jiamusi can be captured this time is related to whether or not the Japanese army in the mountains can be mobilized smoothly, and create the best situation for breaking the encirclement and suppression.

Although this police commissioner is a soft bone, his reaction is definitely not slow. When he was brought up, he saw that although he was wearing the same military uniform as everyone else, he was only wearing a pistol, and there were several Yang Zhen who were carrying fast and slow guards behind him, and he immediately reacted, and the young and somewhat scary person in front of him was probably the leader of this elusive bandit army.

After all, this guy has also been in the old Northeast Army for many years, although his bones are softer, but this vision is very poisonous. Although the young man in front of him is a bit excessive, just looking at the guns equipped by the guards behind him are all German-made fast and slow machines, and the magazine bag on his chest is also bulging, which is absolutely different from the lack of ammunition of other anti-coalition forces, he knows that this young officer in front of him is definitely not small. Judging from this posture, according to the establishment of the Anti-Japanese Federation, how can it be said that it should be a division commander, right?

But are these guys anti-union? The Anti-United Nations itself has dealt with a lot, and he has not been a prisoner of the Anti-United Nations. Although because there is no life in the hands of the Anti-Japanese Federation, it has always been safe, but it has been educated many times. can be worn in a mess, at most it is the Anti-Japanese Federation wearing the uniform of the Japanese army, when did such a military uniform come out? What is written on their badges is the Anti-Japanese Union, but the armbands are messy and I don't know what the meaning of which national character it is?

However, although I don't know whether these people are the Anti-Japanese Federation, this guy guessed that Yang Zhen was the head of these people, and after knowing that his hope of whether he could survive was pinned on this young bandit leader, he was not ambiguous, and immediately knelt down, kowtowed desperately: "Sir, spare your life." The little one is this traitor, but he is just forced to be helpless and eat a bowl of rice. The little one has never done anything to hurt the anti-union. The younger ones have octogenarian mothers to support, and there are several children waiting to be fed. Ask the chief to spare Xiao's life. ”

This guy is also a bit of a back. Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the Japanese deputy director to visit relatives in Jiamusi and come out to have fun. Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out of the kiln, he was targeted by Dong Ping, who had entered the town. There is no way, who makes the whole dark town except for the station, he is the brightest with a flashlight. With the puppet Manchurian police uniform on his body, who will he arrest if he is not the first to arrest him?

It's just that this guy is really soft. The three-edged bayonet that Yang Zhen specially confessed to the arsenal of Dong Ping's soldiers had just touched his waist, and this guy had something to say. The situation of the puppet Manchurian military and police garrison in the entire Lianjiang Estuary was clearly explained.

However, it was precisely because he confessed so happily that Dong Ping was a little suspicious that this guy was thinking about some conspiracy or finding time to delay himself? Dong Ping was not polite, and directly arrested him and went to the pseudo police station. Dong Ping's meaning is very clear, if you want to lie, you will be the first to be killed by the other party.

However, the surprise attack on the puppet Manchurian police station and the railway police escort team was completed smoothly, although it proved that this guy was not lying. But Dong Ping's subordinates' murderous methods when they attacked the road guard police team scared this guy. Quietly with only a few strange-looking bayonets, he solved most of the road guard police squadron, is this still done by people?

For fear that Yang Zhen would also deal with the same thing himself, it would not be surprising to see Yang Zhen make such a posture. It's just that his appearance makes Yang Zhen, who has been nervous since the roundabout battle, have some smiles on his face.

Hearing this guy say this, Yang Zhen smiled and shook his head. This guy said these things so slipperily, I'm afraid he didn't say it less. Although this guy looked softer, Yang Zhen could also see from his words that this guy was probably very sleek.

For this kind of guy, you definitely have to be a little harder and softer. Otherwise, you won't be able to make a true confession, don't be fooled by him. Thinking of this, Yang Zhen smiled and said, "You get up first." You don't have to be afraid, as long as you answer my questions truthfully, I won't kill you. ”

Yang Zhen's words of promising not to kill him made this guy breathe a sigh of relief, and then nodded busily: "Sir, what do you want to ask, the little one must know everything." There is a half-false, at your disposal. ”

Regarding this guy's promise, Yang Zhen just smiled slightly, and after signaling the little tiger behind him to untie the rope on his body, he said, "You'd better remember what you said." If you and your subordinates don't match the confession for a while, don't say that we are ruthless. Let's say, how many Japanese puppet troops are there in Jiamusi City now? How many troops do they have and how well are they equipped? ”

Hearing Yang Zhen's question, this guy was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted to his intentions, and said with a wry smile: "Sir, you don't want to fight Jiamusi, do you?" Are you too daring? The Imperial Army, oh, the Fourth Division of the not a small devil is now clearing the northwest area of Tangyuan County, less than a hundred miles away from Jiamusi. The two mixed brigades of Commander Zhang of the Seventh Military District were also there. As soon as Jiamusi fired the gun, they could rush back after speaking. ”

"Even if you are a thousand, it's not enough to stuff their teeth. Sir, I advise you that if you really want to break the siege of your allies in the mountains, you might as well go north and fight Heli. It's all coal mines, and the coal there is all low-sulfur coal, and it's the best industrial coal. ”

"The coal produced there is shipped to Japan, and it is said to be used for coking and steelmaking. There, the little devil looks more important than life. There is also Luobei in the north, where there are gold mines, with an annual output of hundreds of thousands of taels of gold. If you don't go to these two feng shui treasures, how can you think of playing Jiamusi? It is an important artery for land and water transportation. It's too convenient for them to reinforce. ”

Regarding this guy's observation and expression, as well as this analysis, Yang Zhen couldn't help but have some different views on this puppet Manchurian policeman. This guy looks like he's a little bear-wrapped, but he's still a little capable. You can guess what you mean from just one of your own questions, and few of the staff officers trained by your own training team have this vision.

It's just that although he was surprised that this little policeman actually had such a vision, Yang Zhen didn't show it on his face, but just said lightly: "What I ask you, just say what you say." Don't talk so much nonsense. ”

Seeing the coldness on Yang Zhen's face, this guy immediately reacted to his own mouth, and hurriedly said: "Sir, there are not many Japanese troops in Jiamusi now, there is only one infantry brigade. I heard that this brigade was still in Dunhua when it was being cleaned up, and it was left behind before you had been crippled by you and not yet replenished. ”

"In addition to this infantry brigade, there are only some baggage troops and artillery left. Oh, it seems that there is also a cavalry squadron. Isn't it the gendarmerie? As for the number of people, I don't know. It shouldn't be too much, though. Because the garrison of a squad originally stationed at the mouth of the Lianjiang River has been transferred, I don't think there will be too much left in Jiamusi. ”

"As for the Manchukuo army, all of them have been transferred, and now only some policemen remain. I heard that you killed Lieutenant General Sasaki to the first stage in the previous stage, and the Kwantung Army Headquarters in Shinkyo was furious. The head of the Kwantung Army gave a death order, and the commander of the 4th Division, Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru, must exterminate you in the shortest possible time. Therefore, the 4th Division stationed in Jiamusi drove into the mountains. Even part of the troops of the 11th Division, which had just been transferred, were transferred. ”

For this guy's answer, Yang Zhen frowned. Originally, Yang Zhen personally interrogated him because he wanted to know the approximate strength of the Japanese army in Jiamusi, but he didn't think to know too much detail. After all, he is just a small police sub-commissioner with real power in the hands of the Japanese deputy, how much can he know?

Moreover, in terms of administrative structure, Lianjiangkou was assigned to Heli County, which was newly established this year, by the little devils, and it is no longer directly under Jiamusi. This guy can know some of the situation of the puppet Manchurian military and police stationed in Jiamusi, and Yang Zhen is already thankful. But he didn't expect that this guy even knew most of the approximate number of Japanese troops. This is something unusual.

The little devil has always distrusted the so-called Manchurians, and even if he reveals some deployments, he will never say so clearly to the police chief of a suburban town. So Yang Zhen only believed three points of this guy's confession.
