135. Things in Chifeng City
Motegi Mae no Tsuki saw Shinai Kiwu Wall walking out of the office step by step, feeling that this person is a person with rich experience and learning, and he plots that the empire wants to occupy China, of course, he needs soldiers like my generation to charge into battle, but he needs talents like him to fight a cultural war. Again, the two must complement each other. He called Toru Kamemori again and asked him to have time to visit his apartment. After a while, Toru Kamemori rushed over, only to see that this person was not wearing a Japanese military uniform, but a dark blue placket on his upper body, light blue leg pants on his lower body, and a pair of cyan round shoes. Looking at the face, the yellow face is tang, and the eyebrows are light; Black eyes, melon seed face; Short hair with no earlobes on small ears. Not far from the corner of the mouth on the right side, there is a large mole.
In Shimoda, Tokyo, Japan, people who know him call him a big mole. Some people say that his mole refers to eating dates without spitting pits. He moved lightly, came to the front, bowed, and said, "General Motegi, there must be something wrong with me?" Motegi asked calmly: "Kamemori-kun, the burden of Chifeng City is not light, I hope you can pick it up." Kamemori nodded knowingly and said, "Thank you for the promotion, Kamemori will do his best to assist the general and play the chess game of Chifeng." ”
Motegi smiled rarely, and said, "Chifeng, is a treasure land, as the richest commercial port in the southwest of Manchukuo, it will greatly benefit the empire. At the same time, it is also necessary to build it into a military station base for the imperial army to attack southward and a base for raising troops in battle. Kamemori tried his best to comprehend the thrust of Motegi's speech, and said, "Well, Shogun, for the sake of the empire and for the sake of the Imperial Army's full occupation of China, Kamesun will not regret it, even if he is ruined. ”
Motegi continued, "From yesterday to today, after the Imperial Army entered the city, the market was in order, which is what I hoped. Remember, if the Imperial Army wants to occupy Chifeng, it must maintain stability. The 41st Army, which had just been withdrawn, was a good example. They have a deep relationship with the citizens of the city. All the people helped to support the front and took the initiative to dig trenches. Think of a way to make them do the same to the Imperial Army......"
Kamemori nodded uncontrollably and shouted, "Hay." Motegi also instructed: "For those who have helped the 41st Army, if you don't blame the past, you can't catch up if you want to be held accountable." However, some people have to be remembered for him, and if there is any more anti-Japanese behavior, he will be given a general account. Like Wang Erna, he is not anti-Japanese at present, and we will not trouble him. And Lu Bin, don't arrest him anymore, don't let him go, Chifeng City has too many relationships. Besides, it also makes the world evaluate the imperial army, Lu Bin is so pro-Japanese, hasn't he still become a prisoner of the Japanese army? ”
Kamemori Toru lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "One of the four King Kongs under Lu Bin, he told the imperial army that Lu Bin had deceived the imperial army. On March 3, Commander Okamura asked him to go to check the clues, mainly to persuade Commander Sun to withdraw his troops, but not only did he not persuade him, but instead gave the 41st Army a large amount of silver tickets to support him in resisting Japan. Besides, where the Liao tomb is, he never said, his conscience is greatly broken......"
Motegi said: "In the past ten years, Lu Bin has spared no effort to support the imperial army, and before the Fourth Brigade occupies Chifeng, everything in the empire in Chifeng has to greet him. occupies a lot of his house and yard. As long as people from the empire came to Chifeng, he treated them as friends. People will say that the conscience of our imperial army is greatly broken......" Toru Kamemori nodded incessantly. Motegi asked him again: "The shelves of the imperial army in Chifeng City are enough, but there is still a lack of a passable county government team, just like the puppet regime of Manchukuo." It is also necessary to set up a maintenance council dominated by the Shina people. ”
Kamemori said: "Sun Tingbi, this old fox, didn't he also be the county magistrate, let him continue to be the county magistrate, don't do it, don't toast and don't eat, eat and drink." There are also a few leading figures, none of whom want to come out to be high. It landed me in jail. These old bones, they are not honest, when they saw Lu Bin, they laughed at him for being a traitor. ”
Motegi finally gave Kamemori Toru a death order, and he said: "Kamemori-kun, you must know how to use China to control China, the county magistrate of Chifeng must be Sun Tingbi, maintain the chairman, let Lu Bin do it, what do you think?" Without waiting for Kamemori Toru to answer, he said: "Not only the county magistrate and maintenance chairman of Chifeng, but also the maintenance committee of Gudu River and Monkey Head Ditch must be considered early, and the westward movement of all units of my Fourth Brigade and Regiment to find the 117th Brigade to fight to the death, there must be all village maintenance associations and pro-Japanese forces to cooperate......
Kamemori Toru bowed deeply to Motegi and said, "The general said yes, all your instructions have been taken to heart, and I will do my best to satisfy you and make Chifeng City a city of the imperial army." When Motegi saw it, he didn't realize that it was almost noon, so he said, "Kamemori-kun, there is no banquet in the army, so let's have a light meal here." Toru Kamemori couldn't refuse, so he had to bow again to express his gratitude.
On the evening of 4 March, after the 117th Brigade disbanded the meeting, under the leadership of Brigade Commander Ding and Deputy Brigade Commander Ji, the last group of wounded were transferred to Houtougou, and the brigade also drove to Houtougou. The 233rd Regiment was stationed in the house to monitor the direction of Chifeng to commit devils; The 234th Regiment was stationed in Houtougou Village, and worked with all units directly under the brigade, the brigade field hospital, and various health teams to rescue the wounded, and to look for houses from house to house. There were too many wounded, there was a lack of medical care, the weather was cold, and sometimes the wounded died.
The brigade headquarters decided to let the field hospital move to the west of Monkey Head Ditch to prevent the devils from attacking, and there was room for maneuver. A large number of wounded were transported westward. Director Han used a telegram from the brigade headquarters to contact Chen Jinghu, an underground party member in Chengde, and planned to transfer the wounded to a part of Chengde through the passage from Monkey Head Gou to Jinshan in the Karaqin Banner. After many contacts, this idea is good, and Chen Jinghu also believes that it is feasible and can solve the urgent needs of the 117th Brigade. But on the 5th, it was half a beat slower, and it turned out that the Yamada Brigade of the Eighth Division of the Japanese Army drove from Pingquan to the line of Wangyedian and Wangyefu, cutting off the main road from Geumsan to Chengde.
The 117 Brigade held an emergency meeting to study the operational deployment. Brigade Commander Ding saw that all the commanders were basically there, and said heavily: "At present, the situation of my 117th Brigade is very bad, the first task is that we are carrying a large number of wounded, we can't go fast, it is too difficult to get rid of the devils chasing after us, and it is even more difficult to get rid of the 4th Brigade of Motegi on horseback. Originally, through the passage from Monkey Head Gou to Jinshan, some of the wounded could be transported to Chengde, but the road from Jinshan to Chengde was cut off by devils. From the west of Houtougou to the north of Yonghu Yingzi, we can go to Laofuchuan, but we have to divide our troops, and we are afraid of being eaten by the Japanese army. Ladies and gentlemen, whoever has an idea, as long as it is conducive to getting rid of the devil, we can adopt it......"
Some people suggested that they should go north from Nagado Camp to Gogawa, maybe they could get away from Motegi Oniko. Some personnel of the Xuechu Corps pointed out that compared with the Banzhi Arrow River, the Houchuan River is narrow, and the room for maneuver is too small. Someone offered to put all the wounded down, run quickly, and go ahead to find favorable terrain and set up an ambush for the devils. Some people rose up against it, believing that if the wounded were not taken away, they would lose the support of the people.
Director Han said: "Now we have a strong situation, we don't have to think about throwing all the wounded and running...... "Among the people who advocated fast running, there was Jia Congliang, everyone looked back at him, and he bowed his head and said nothing.
Director Han continued: "There are about three points in the situation that is powerful to us, one is that since the defeat of Chifeng City, our army has taken advantage of the terrain and other available conditions to attack the Motegi devils twice, so that they do not dare to act rashly at the wing level; Second, although the road from Chengde to Jinshan has been cut off by the first section of the Yamada Brigade, the first detachment of the Ningcheng guerrillas has been constantly pinned down by the Heili River, and the Yamada Brigade has no time to go out of Jinshan, the big cattle herd, and the small calf herd to the north; Third, our unit has won the support of the people of Rehe, and it is very difficult for the Japanese army to get news from us. According to my estimates, from the afternoon of the 4th to this morning, Motegi's main force has not moved, he is replenishing his troops, and there is a great possibility that he is learning from us and doing articles for ordinary people. ”
After repeated research by everyone, the brigade headquarters believed that it was better to transport and rescue the wounded while using the terrain to set a trap for Motegi. All regiment commanders went back to take the rescue of the wounded and the propaganda with the villagers as the main direction of their efforts, and waited for the brigade headquarters to make a decision and act together.
Jia Congliang had to sigh with admiration, thinking to himself that he was really helpless against a stupid army. Standing on the mountain bag in the west of the monkey head ditch, looking at the direction of the paddock, he looked up to the sky and sighed.
Motegi felt that the affairs of Chifeng City were basically handed over to Toru Kamemori and Hanashima Juro, and he could lead his army west to catch up with the 117th Brigade. However, the military doctor still insisted on giving him needles and medicines, and gave him those bitter medicines all day long, which made him bitter. Under the anger of warmth, he wanted to leave. At this time, Kameda came to ask for an audience.
