This puppet Manchurian police chief was very discerning, and after seeing Yang Zhen listen to his confession, he was speechless, and immediately understood that the person in front of him did not believe his words very much. After reacting, he hurriedly said: "It turns out that the captain of the Japanese garrison team stationed here is an extremely greedy guy. ”

"Although I was not transferred here for a long time, the reason for the reason for the passage of Guò to his commander, and the fact that I did not give him less on weekdays, quickly became familiar with him. This guy takes advantage of the convenience of Lianjiang ** pass, which is the only way to transport coal from the north and sell illicit coal. There is also the Wutong River Gold Mine, where the captain of the mine police is my brother who helped this guy smuggle smuggled gold. So this guy usually thinks I'm his best friend, and I almost talk about everything. ”

"This guy once told me when he was drunk that he was really just a representative. The smuggling of coal, as well as the smuggling of timber and furs from Luobei, Suileng, Foshan, and other places, were in fact the joint ventures of the 37th Wing of the Fourth Division. He, the squad leader, is just the equivalent of a shopkeeper. He can only get a small part of this money. This amount of money is not even a drop in the bucket compared to the contribution he has made. ”

"I helped him get into the gold smuggling business and made him get enough oil, so this guy has always treated me as a confidant and told me everything. He told me about that before he was transferred. He told me to ask him to help take care of those businesses, and asked me to go to Jiamusi to find a young man named Kitano Takatsu. ”

"He told me that Shaozuo's family was extremely powerful, and even the Kwantung Army Headquarters had to give their family three points of thin noodles. Even if that guy suffered a defeat in Dunhua, he didn't move him much. It's just that he is guilty of making meritorious contributions. If you have something to look for him, there is absolutely no problem. ”

"What I know is really what he told me. Sir, I can say whatever I really have, and there is no half-truth. Do you think I can go? ”

Regarding this guy's explanation, Yang Zhen pondered for a while, and did not continue to ask, but asked about this guy's resume: "What's your name?" Listen to you, you are not only from the regular army, but also very clear about our policy. Let's talk about it, because of what traitor? ”

This guy smiled a little bitterly at Yang Zhen's rhetorical question: "Sir, my name is Ma Chunsheng." You read that right, I was originally from the Northeast Army. After graduating from Jiangwutang, he worked as a staff officer for two days. Later, after the 918 Incident, the 23rd Brigade of the Northeast Army, where I was a member, surrendered. I didn't want to follow at the time, so I deserted and went home. ”

"I just didn't think about going home and living in peace. Every day, people come to the door, saying that what is good is please, and what is not good is forced. There was no way, and I was unwilling to give my life to the Japanese and fight against the anti-Japanese forces, so I became a policeman. After all, I still have a family to support. ”

"Although I myself was forced to be a traitor, I have absolutely not been stained with the blood of anti-Japanese soldiers. When I participated in the encirclement and suppression, I never resisted whenever I could. Even if you shoot a gun, you mostly shoot into the sky. Well, this one has been captured a few times, so I have some understanding of your army's policies. Because I have not been stained with the blood of the Anti-United Nations, and I have privately helped the Anti-United Nations in Sanjiang to solve some medicines and other supplies, I have not received any punishment. ”

Yang Zhen listened to his words, and just smiled faintly: "How about it, come over and participate in the Anti-Japanese Federation?" I just talked to you, and I can see that you are very capable. Now that the national crisis is at the head, a person like you is hiding here as a puppet Manchurian policeman, even if he has not done evil, but it is still a pity to carry the infamy of a traitor. ”

Hearing that Yang Zhen actually invited himself to participate in the Anti-Japanese Federation, this Ma Chunsheng couldn't help but be stunned, and felt a little surprised. It's just that after swallowing the saliva in his mouth with difficulty, he refused: "Sir, it stands to reason that you personally do this, this invitation, I can't help but know how to lift it." But I really have a wife and children at home. This family, young and old, is counting on me. As soon as I leave, they will lose their livelihood. Besides, after all, I have lived in Jiamusi for many years, and it is still easy for the Japanese to find my family. ”

Although he didn't say everything he said, Yang Zhen also heard the meaning of his words. The reason why this kid is pushing back is not that he is desperate to be a traitor, but to put it bluntly, he has no confidence in the confrontation federation and is afraid that his family will be retaliated.

Judging from this kid's understanding of the enemy situation just now, Yang Zhen knew that although this kid's position was not high, and his real power was not great. But he is a very well-informed person. The whole process of the Anti-Japanese Federation in the North Manchurian region from its rise to the current trough should be very clear. To put it bluntly, I'm afraid this guy has never been optimistic about the confrontation alliance. That's why this guy is holding back.

It's just that this guy sees the problem very accurately, and it's a pity to be here. But Yang Zhen has always believed that catching up is not a deal. Since this guy has no confidence in himself, or even in the confrontation alliance, forget it. After all, do people have their own aspirations? Thinking of this, Yang Zhen smiled and said, "Since Mr. Ma is unwilling, I will not force it." However, it sounds like Mr. Ma is very familiar with the situation in Jiamusi, can you draw us a rough sketch of the urban area of Jiamusi? In addition, the residences of the puppet Manchurian military and political personnel in the Jiamusi city should also be marked. ”

Hearing that Yang Zhen didn't force himself, Ma Chun let out a sigh of relief. It's not that he doesn't want to serve his country, he doesn't have blood. It's just that as a high-achieving student of the Northeast Army's martial arts hall, he never thought that there was no supply, and most of the time he could only hide in the mountains and forests to passively respond to the battle, and the Anti-Japanese Union could really drive out the Japanese army with planes, heavy artillery, tanks, and soldiers from the northeast.

To be honest, he still admires those anti-Japanese alliances who insist on fighting in the deep mountains and old forests. These people were able to persist for such a long time in the severe cold of minus thirty or forty degrees in winter, and they fought against the Japanese army armed to the teeth for so many years without giving in under the condition that they lacked basic weapons, not to mention anything else, and this perseverance alone made him admire very much.

But admiration is one thing, participation or not is another. Under the circumstance that the Nationalist Government still does not see the slightest hope of recovering the Northeast, he does not think that those anti-Japanese federations, which are poorly equipped, extremely poorly trained, and even have an absolute disadvantage in numbers, have the ability to change the status quo.

Although he rejected Yang Zhen's invitation, he agreed to Yang Zhen's request that he just ask him to draw a sketch. Not only did he draw the sketches in great detail, but he even drew some of the Japanese fortifications he knew. While painting, he also introduced to Yang Zhen: "Sir, because the bandits were more strict before, there are walls on all sides of Jiamusi. ”

"Moreover, the walls of Jiamusi are all rammed earth inside, and the exterior is illuminated with blue bricks, and the construction is extremely strong. In addition to large-caliber heavy artillery, even 75-mm field artillery shells will not play a role. Only the western one was demolished for the construction of the railway. If you want to storm it, it is better to choose the west. ”

"Jiamusi is a city that was only built after 918, and it was originally just a market town. Although it is prosperous because of its geographical location and has many Japanese garrisons, it does not have too many fortifications, and most of them are concentrated near the Japanese barracks. However, I will not build yì for you to attack. Speaking of this, he handed the finished sketch in his hand to Yang Zhen.

Yang Zhen took the sketch he had drawn, and couldn't help but applaud after reading it. In the absence of various tools, it is possible to draw such a standard city plan with just a pencil and memory. Not to mention anything else, the basic skills of doing homework on the most basic sketch of an officer are admirable.

This hand, not to mention the staff officers of his own troops, who can only be said to be the grass platform team, do not have these two moves. Even Guo Bingxun, who came back from studying in France, is not as good as the homework on this hand map. Even if you don't have a compass or a ruler, you can't do it.

Looking at this sketch, Yang Zhen, who was still thinking about not buying and selling, immediately made up his mind that no matter whether this person wanted to or not, he would be tied to his own army. Even if you can't let him counsel the military aircraft for the time being, even if you go to teach the teaching team.

Ma Chunsheng, who didn't know that his fate was about to change because of this sketch, handed over the sketch to Yang Zhen, and said cautiously: "Sir, you see that this sketch has also been drawn, and I have finished talking about the situation, should you also let me go?" Don't worry, after you let me go, I will never report it. ”

Regarding this guy's words, Yang Zhen shook his head and said, "It's okay to let you go, but now is not the time." Why don't you and your brothers have to wait until we have conquered Jiamusi before we leave? Let you go now, even if you don't reveal our whereabouts, can you vouch for those brothers of yours? You are also from a military background, so I don't need to say the importance of this secrecy. ”

Hearing that Yang Zhen was actually going to speak, Ma Chunsheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he didn't dare to resist in the slightest, so he could only be honestly escorted to stay with his brothers. However, when this guy was leaving, he hesitated for a while and said to Yang Zhen: "Sir, although the number of Japanese troops in Jiamusi is not large, I still remind you not to attack." ”

"Tomorrow, oh, at five o'clock this morning, there will be a train from Jiamusi to Heli to deliver labor and supplies. If I'm not mistaken, this train was supposed to return empty. If you can intercept this train and use the train to break into Jiamusi, at least you can achieve the suddenness of the action, and the casualties will be much smaller. ”

Looking at the back of Ma Chunsheng being escorted down, Dong Ping said to Yang Zhen: "Commander, don't believe this guy's words. I just interrogated those guys, and 10 of them had 10 confessions. This guy is just the head of the police substation in a small town in Heli, which is more than 30 kilometers away from Jiamusi, how can he know so much? ”

Yang Zhen didn't answer Dong Ping immediately, and handed him the sketch in his hand before saying, "I believe what he said is true." You look at this picture. ”

Dong Ping took a look at the rough sketch of Jiamusi's city handed over by Yang Zhen, and not only praised: "The true standard of this picture, I don't have these two strokes." Don't talk about me, even if the chief of staff is here, I can't draw it without tools. I really didn't see that this guy really had two hits. But Commander, you can't tell from this sketch that he's not lying. ”

Regarding Dong Ping's complaint, Yang Zhen smiled but did not answer him, but took the sketch and said to Dong Ping: "There will be a train passing by, you intercept it." After the rapid march these days, everyone is tired enough. Now let's enjoy it and take the train to Jiamusi. ”

After explaining to Dong Ping, Yang Zhen was a little hesitant when he saw him. Yang Zhen smiled: "You, aren't your heads very lively?" The Jiahe Railway was the main export route for the Japanese army to plunder coal, gold and timber in the Xiaoxinganling area. Think about it, if the devil knew about our movements, would he not stop the train transportation? The little devil is not so generous. As long as the train arrives here on time, it means that our actions are not exposed. At least half of what this guy said was the truth. ”

"As for whether what he said about the current strength of the Japanese army in Jiamusi is true or false, haven't you seen the battle report sent by the chief of staff in the past two days? Except for the 70th Wing, which had been transferred to Harbin to form the 25th Division, the main forces of the 4th Division had already left for the front line of Qunce Mountain. At this moment, the strength of the troops in Jiamusi City is almost the same as he said. ”

"It's still more than 30 kilometers away from Jiamusi, and it's hard for us to get to Jiamusi before dawn. It's also in the Sanjiang Plain, and it's hard for me to hide my tracks at dawn. Since there is a means of transportation that can ensure that we arrive in Jiamusi before dawn and can save the physical energy of the troops, why don't we use it? ”

That Ma Chunsheng really didn't lie about it. At about five o'clock in the morning, a freight train from Xingshan in Hebei Province drove into the small railway station at the mouth of the Lianjiang River. Dong Ping, with the cooperation of local railway workers, intercepted the train with more than ten wagons and flatbed cars very lightly.

And several puppet Manchurian railway policemen who were in charge of escorting the train in the escort carriage were disarmed by Dong Ping's subordinates who rushed onto the train as early as the first time.

Of course, the reason why the railway workers are so cooperative is under the requirements of Dong Ping's fast and slow machine with the nose wide open. And the corpses of the few Japanese railway employees who refused to cooperate also clearly told them the fate of not cooperating. Otherwise, these people would have risked retaliation by the Japanese army to assist Yang Zhen? For most people, there are many times when enlightenment is based on whether or not life is safe.

Seeing that the train was intercepted, Yang Zhen did not hesitate at all, and the whole army got on the train. The two mountain artillery battalions were fixed with sandbags and directly set up on the three flatbed cars in the train with great fanfare, and the shells were piled up on both sides of the artillery. Yang Zhen's order to Qiu Jintang was simple: after the train broke through to Jiamusi, his shells had to be fired into the Japanese barracks not far from the Jiamusi railway station at the same time.

The troops moved extremely quickly, except for the artillery fixed artillery, which was delayed for a little time, and the rest of the troops were quickly loaded in just fifteen minutes. The doors of all the stuffy tank cars in the train are open. Light and heavy machine guns were mounted on the doorway. If you encounter an enemy situation on the way, you can open fire at the first opportunity.

The most important front of the car was guarded by Dong Ping according to one of his most effective reconnaissance squads. According to his arrangement, there are four people and four fast and slow machines with the nose wide open, and the muzzle of the gun is absolutely not far from the driver and the stoker.

After getting into the car, Yang Zhen immediately assigned tasks to Liu Changshun. After opening the sketch map of Jiamusi City drawn by Ma Chunsheng, he said to Liu Changshun: "You took a company of the first battalion and the second battalion of the first regiment and two independent companies, and immediately led the team to the Japanese military camp after the train entered Jiamusi. ”

"Most of the Japanese troops in Jiamusi have been transferred to the front line of Qunce Mountain, and most of the troops left behind are some baggage, logistics, cavalry and other troops. Its main force was a brigade of the 8th Wing of the 4th Division of the Japanese Army, which we had defeated in the north of Dunhua. You must move quickly and try to crush this Japanese army in the shortest possible time. I will transfer the main artillery forces to you. ”

After explaining to Liu Changshun, Yang Zhen turned his head and said to Wang Xiaoming, the political commissar of the first regiment: "Political Commissar Wang, you are a veteran cadre of the Anti-Japanese Federation, and you are a graduate of the Shenyang Ordnance School and the Northeast Lecture Martial Arts Hall, and you have rich experience. You also have a certain understanding of aircraft, you took a battalion reinforced with eight mortars and a heavy machine gun company, and went directly to Jiamusi Airport to me. ”

"Yes, guaranteed to complete the mission." Wang Xiaoming's promise was neat. But after nodding briskly, he pointed to Ma Chunsheng, who was honestly squatting on the side, and said, "Commander, I know this person and am still very familiar with it." He and I were classmates during the martial arts period. Do you think you let him go with me, and I may persuade him? ”

"I still know him as a person. Capable and talented. He was the best of our cohort. With his ability, if he is determined to join the enemy, he will definitely not be just a small police sub-commissioner. Not to mention a police chief, there is absolutely no problem in being a mixed brigade commander. ”

"I know that he is not the kind of person who covets glory and wealth, let alone a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. There is definitely a reason why this guy will defect to the enemy. I'm going to persuade him to see if I can use it for us. It would be a pity if this person fell like this. ”

Regarding Wang Xiaoming's request, Yang Zhen pondered for a while, and after looking at Ma Chunsheng, who was taken by himself to the escort car that was temporarily used as the headquarters, he nodded slightly and said, "It's okay." He is familiar with the terrain of Jiamusi. You take him there, and fortunately, after completing the mission, you can return to the team smoothly. ”

Regarding Wang Xiaoming, one of the few founding major generals who was awarded the title of the Third Route Army of the Anti-Japanese Federation after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Yang Zhen only nodded after a little consideration and agreed. He didn't believe that he would have any other thoughts, and he would not abandon the deputy of the puppet Manchurian Changchun Praetorian Infantry Regiment, which at least seemed to those traitors who had defected to the enemy, and defected to the Anti-Japanese Federation, and persisted until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.

After confessing to the two of them, Yang Zhen turned his head to Dong Ping and said: "Your task is to arrest the puppet Manchurian Sanjiang Provincial Government, the Jiamusi City Office, the Sanjiang Provincial Police Department, the Jiamusi Police Department, and the Seventh Military Region. Remember, none of the high-ranking personnel in Sanjiang Province are allowed to slip through the net.

"Especially the puppet Manchurian Sanjiang Provincial Governor Lu Yuanshan and Deputy Minister Masuda Shotaro, the Japanese director of the puppet Police Agency Shimazaki Yoichi, and the director of the Development Agency Seshita Kiyoshita. You can copy this map immediately, and when the train enters the city, you will immediately press the map for me. The addresses of these officials have been marked, and I remember that I want to see people in life and corpses in death. ”

Of course, Yang Zhen didn't know that at this time, the famous commander of the Fifth Army of the Kwantung Army, Kenji Dohihara, who was known as the Lawrence of the East, was in Jiamusi at this time. Although Ma Chunsheng knows the situation in Jiamusi city well. But the traces of the Japanese officers, especially the senior officers, were never able to grasp them.

If Yang Zhen knew that there was such a character in Jiamusi, I am afraid that he would definitely change the order of arrest. I'd rather not capture any of the others, and I'll use some of the forces on this guy.
