81. United
On the morning of March 3, 1933, the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, which had completely controlled the Bahrain grassland, was looking at the north gate of Chifeng, and at the same time, Lieutenant General Sakamoto Masayemon ordered the 36th Brigade to send the 35th Wing, and the 11th Brigade to send the Okokagi Brigade of the 73rd Wing, each with enough artillery shells, to cross Udan and march south. The 35th Wing took Mutougou, the Hala Battalion advanced to Chifeng, and the 1st Ganggangmu Brigade, taking the net Taihe, advanced to Hongshanzui. Each arranged artillery positions, prepared to echo with Motegi's various units, and captured Chifeng Castle.
In the same morning, the commander of the Motegi Mae Nozuki Brigade angrily kicked Wang Yi out of the house, grabbed the phone and called Kameda Wufu Dasa of the 7th Wing, and said: "Kameda Osa, I order your troops to move forward quickly, and if they do not encounter fierce resistance from the defenders for the time being, build fortifications on the front line of Baimiaozi, in order to attack the defenders of Hongmiaozi." Kameda helplessly snapped his legs together and shouted, "Hai, please rest assured General Motegi, you will definitely capture Hongmiaozi before noon......"
On the left side of the center, Oda Tongnan listened to the order of Captain Kameda Helpless Wing, and hurriedly grabbed another phone and called Chief of Staff Shintaro Umei to ask about the main points and various precautions before the war.
Major General Motegi Mae Nozuki's phone called the 17th Wing Yamaoka Kaidasa, and ordered: "Yamaoka Jiedasa, I order your troops to prepare to build fortifications along the line of launching and shangshui, and the Hongshanzui defenders' position is yours......" Before Yamaoka Jiedasa put down the phone, Chief of Staff Feiqibala immediately rushed to make a battle plan with a group of staff officers. All battle plans must be submitted to Chief of Staff Shintaro Umei for approval and filing before they can be implemented. The commander of the 19th Wing, Ichiro Furui (replacing Minoru Oshima), also received a phone call and ordered them to use the 19th Wing as a reserve in the area of the Mongol Ridge and be ready to attack at any time......
In Chifeng City, all departments defended the army, strengthened fortifications, rushed to repair guns, and mobilized to form death squads. The headquarters of the 117th Brigade is located in the Dazasa Courtyard west of Dongheng Street, and the 11th Battalion of the 234th Regiment has been guarding the Hongshanzui position. In fact, there was no danger to defend there, only the trenches dug by the soldiers could be of little use for the time being. If it is used as a living position, occupying it is equivalent to jamming the throat of Chifeng City; Yesterday, Yamada Koizumi occupied Hongshanzui, and the 41st Army panicked at once, otherwise it would not have successfully reached a settlement with Motegi.
Yamada Koizumi used his arrogant and uninhibited eyes to see the importance of the location of the Red Mountain, and also sacrificed all his squadrons to the Red Mountain. In fact, this is also inseparable from Oshima's private waves, and Oshima's private waves want to climb from him to the relationship with Prince Miyazaida. The results can be imagined.
If Hongshanzui is defended as a dead position, it will not work, and there is no danger to defend. Brigadier Ding Boting looked at the map again and again, and considered the east gate of Chifeng, including Hongmiaozi and Hongshanzui. The thinking gradually became clear, and when he found out about this situation, he grabbed the phone and called Zhang Qiaoya, the deputy of the regiment, and told him about it. The 234th Regiment sent a brigade of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army to the side of the Red Mountain, and the 17th Wing of the 4th Brigade also killed from the east, and this situation was directly reported to the military headquarters. The military headquarters also received a call from Brigade Commander Ding, and after studying it, Deputy Army Commander Cha immediately issued an order to keep the 11th Battalion of the 234th Regiment in camouflage, and most of the rest to withdraw in concealment......
On the morning of 3 March, Adviser Li, Deputy Army Commander Cha, Director Han and several staff officers inspected the eastern, northern, and western gates. Although the headquarters had just been attacked by a night attack by the Japanese assassination team, they were still not at ease with their position and had to leave. Every time he went to a battalion-level position, Director Han would take the situation of the Hongshanzui position just now as the object and explain to everyone the truth of fighting on the periphery, killing the position, and defending the position.
He said: "Yesterday, the Hongshanzui position was occupied by the Japanese army Yamada Koizumi, at first it was a living position, and as soon as he occupied it, we did not dare to fight with Motegi again, and despite the superiority of our troops in numbers, they still made dumplings on the position. After Yamada Koizumi occupied Hongshanzui, the living position turned into a dead position, and as a result, one of their squadrons was wiped out by us. The time has come early this morning, and if we defend this position again, it will be a dead position, and we will definitely be smashed by the Japanese troops coming from the west and south......"
Not to mention that the commanders and members of the cadet corps listened to his speech, gained insight and learned things, even the soldiers who were fortunate enough to listen to his speech all felt that their morale had been raised, and the way of fighting a war turned out to be very simple and easy to understand.
Both officers and men are proud to have heard him speak once, and they have endless aftertastes. Consultant Li looked at him happily, and said in his heart that he could be described as a famous general. Famous generals can see the subtleties, stand high and see far, and can grasp the initiative and opportunity on the battlefield...... I admire it even more in my heart. He felt too right that he had accepted the orders and suggestions of the central government, which had led to Commander Sun rescuing him from prison. He also remembered that instead of conveying the party's instructions to this kid, he really didn't like this unit......
In fact, if it weren't for Advisor Li who conveyed to him the instructions of the Party Central Committee and Chairman Mao, Director Han would not want to stay for a moment, and he would have gone to the southern Soviet region to find the Red Army and Chairman Mao.
After inspecting the north gate and the west gate, Adviser Li and the others went to the south gate, and Zhu Mingshan, commander of the 27th Battalion of the 239th Regiment of the 119th Brigade guarding the south gate, walked out of the headquarters to greet the commanders. and report to them on the security and inspection of the south gate. At this time, with the increase in the number of people entering and exiting the south gate, the past was congested, and a long queue also arrived. Zhu Battalion Commander sent a platoon commander, Wang Mingdang, to shout and ask them which part they were. Platoon Commander Wang walked out of the trench and shouted, "The team in front stops, which part of you are from?" One of the soldiers in the trenches also shouted: "Come over to fight devils, why are you going into the city......
The team left the passing people, stopped aside, walked out of two soldiers, and came to the vicinity of the battalion commander of Zhu Mingshan, and the two saluted together, and one of them said: "Report to the commander, we are from the 30th Brigade of the Northeast Army, and we were broken up by the Japanese army in Lingnan and Jianping...... and the other also said: "We came from Jilin, and we were originally independent regiments of Ma Zhanshan......
Zhu Mingshan battalion commander said: "If you want to fight against Japan, go into the city, the devils at the north gate and the east gate are already going to attack, enter the city to see which sequence you are put into......" He pointed back with his hand as he spoke, and said: "This is not the military minister is still here, our 41st Army welcomes the ...... of the rout from all walks of life with both hands."
Advisor Li smiled and said to the two of them: "Why are you so determined to go straight to the city to participate in the anti-Japanese resistance? One of them said: "I was beaten by the devil, my brothers and I wanted to go back to our hometown, but the little devil is too ruthless, we are here to fight, do you want to?" Another also said: "After our independent regiment was dispersed, we originally wanted to follow the old battalion commander to Chahar, but after arriving in Pingquan, Tang Erhu refused to let me. We went back to Ningcheng again, I didn't want to meet the little devil again, this little devil is really not a thing, the fifteenth company raised their hands and surrendered, and they also used machine guns to make a sudden ......"
Director Han asked, "What kind of officials are you two?" The one who called himself an independent regiment said: "Neither of us is a commander, not even a platoon commander, but the remaining brothers of the two units recommended us to lead the group away." Not to mention, we also commanded the devil to come and capture a prisoner. Oh, we also have chiefs in both parts, and no, the brothers carry them on stretchers. ”
Elder Han looked at it from a distance and said to Deputy Commander Cha: "Let them enter the city quickly, the stretchers seem to be seriously injured, go in quickly to treat the injuries......
The houses in the east and north gates were used as dark forts. The common people were all evacuated, and all the evacuated people were compensated by Huo Guangwu, the owner of the Chifeng branch of Huo Ji Leather Goods Company. All the families who have won the ocean, the elderly, children and women have joined their relatives, and the young and strong have joined the front team......
Lu Bin, the head of the business group of the Chifeng Chamber of Commerce, had a lot of opinions about the people's spontaneous participation in the front of the branch, standing on the street and scolding, pointing to the poor people in the past and saying that these cheap lives ...... He also sent someone to arrest Huo Guangwu, who had already received the letter and sneaked back to Chaoyang.
