84. Defection before the battle
Commander Sun was extremely moved, and even more scolded the Nanjing government, and spread the news that the Anti-Japanese Union and the Volunteer Army had blown up their arms in order to contain the Japanese army. Determined to defend Chifeng City to the death.
Maenotsuki Motegi and Shintaro Umei stared at each other for a long time, and the two of them felt very uncomfortable and had a cool feeling. Since the capture of the entire northeast, there has always been a feeling lingering. That is, the entire ground of Manchukuo, although it was almost occupied by the Kwantung Army, there were always a pair of eyes staring behind it, staring down the spine. Especially this year, that kind of gaze, like a tongue of fire, has become ubiquitous. Originally, in Dawa and Baxianguan, the imperial army had arranged a tight blockade line, but where did such a convenient anti-union and volunteer army come from?
Angry to angry, Motegi had to beg Commander Okamura Ninji to urgently transfer artillery shells from Shenyang. Shintaro Umei also hurriedly notified the ministries to count the number of shells. Although the Japanese army has never used artillery in the urban areas within the houses, this is a battlefield, and no one can say for sure, whether it will be used for a while, or whether it will be used in the afternoon, or whether it will be used tomorrow. The statistics came out, some of the shells of the grenadier canisters were not very many, and the situation of the 73rd Wing and the Okokaki Brigade was better, and there were plenty of shells of all kinds.
The attack of the 7th Wing of the Japanese Army on the east gate of Chifeng has always been in a state of interposition, and the position is dog-tooth difference. The Hongmiaozi position has been occupied by the Japanese army, and the positions of both sides are piled with dead corpses, like new fortifications. Houses near Dongdaemun were also blown up by grenadiers. But the positions of the 18th Regiment were still there.
Kameda was a little anxious, the number of people was too large, but the position could not be attacked for a long time. Chief of Staff Oda Tongnan said from the outside: "Kameda-kun, do you want to press Zhang Haipeng's Imperial Cooperative Army as well?" Kameda helpless said when he heard this: "It's just like this, these people, not to mention that their combat effectiveness is too low, they know how to rob the common people." People who don't know the truth still think that the imperial army did it, and Baga ......"
Kameda turned around helplessly and beckoned, called the interpreter Li Fatzi over, and said, "Li Sang, you, go and inform Zhang Haipeng, let them attack in front and work hard." In conniving at his soldiers to make mistakes, dead and dead there is. ”
Zhang Haipeng, as the commander of the Taoliao garrison appointed by the Japanese army, has recently become unpopular with the Japanese. The reason was that he cooperated with the Japanese army to attack Feng Zhanhai and the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and his combat effectiveness was too low. The combat effectiveness is low, and he can still train and improve, but his soldier bandit habits are really terrible. Before the battle is over, they will rob the common people when they touch them. Many times, there was a battle on this side, and they were there to grab something.
Today, it is a last resort to let the Imperial Association Army. In the morning, Zhang Haipeng was transferred to go with the Seventh Wing, because he was afraid that he would indulge his subordinates. Kameda Wusuke ordered him to be stationed nearby, also watching him. It's not that the attrition is too big, who let him go?
When Zhang Haipeng received the order, he did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered Li Mingren, the commander of the 29th regiment, to take his regiment and drive towards the east gate. Because they always robbed other people's property last few times, they were shot several times by the Japanese soldiers on the spot, so they were afraid when they saw the Japanese soldiers. Since the Japanese army ordered to rush forward, the regiment trotted to a short distance from the East Gate. The soldiers who were running at the forefront had another twenty meters and entered the position of the 18th regiment. Section Chief Li passed by here with two staff officers, and he looked at the soldiers who were running in a panic over there, and he also felt that something was wrong.
He asked the soldiers of the 18th Regiment who passed by: "What are they running?" The soldier said: "It seems that the Imperial Association Army is being chased by devils, they are all from the Northeast, and they don't even fire guns here." When Section Chief Li heard this, he came up with an idea and hurriedly went to the headquarters of the 18th Regiment to find Deputy Zhang Zhengqi. The two of them didn't know each other, but the staff officer who was traveling with them came forward to introduce each other, and they got to know each other. Li Qi and Zhang Zhengqi whispered for a while, then looked at each other and smiled.
Then I heard someone in the 18th regiment position shouting in a low voice: "The Imperial Alliance Army over there, run over here, it's all from the Northeast Army, don't hesitate." The Chinese don't fight the Chinese, come here. If you die here, you will be killed, and you will be a traitor over there......" Some soldiers here also saw their acquaintances, and hurriedly shouted: "Second stunned, it's me, I'm here after running a few steps......"
At this call, they first looked back and back, probably because they were afraid that the officials would not do it. But after looking at it for a long time, no chief spoke. There were veterans, three or two came first, and then a few more, including the two stunned men. These few came over, a little too bold, swaggering over with guns, and they really didn't have those veterans. The devils in the trenches on the east side saw the clue and shouted there in Japanese.
The people from the 18th Regiment Headquarters here shouted to them: "Why don't you hurry up and wait for the devils to shoot?" "Those people are running quickly. The devil who was yelling just now stretched out two crooked machine guns and chased after his ass and beat him. The 18th Regiment and the 233rd Regiment were in the northern position, and they hurriedly stretched out their guns to meet them, and began to shoot at the devils again. Section Chief Li and Deputy Zhang Tuan each took a 38 cover from the soldier's hand, leaned down and aimed at the Japanese army's crooked machine gun shooter.
The Imperial Association Army of a regiment ran over, and the devils were unwilling, and they shot at the near and far positions together, causing the people of the 29th Regiment to fall to the ground one after another. With the help of the men of the 18th Regiment, most of them went into the trenches, and some of them came first and got into the east gate. Li Mingren, the commander of the 29th regiment, did not dare to shake the hands of Section Chief Li and Deputy Zhang Tuan, he was ashamed to salute them, turned around and took off the yellow skin, shook his hand and threw it aside.
He was ashamed to say to Deputy Zhang Tuan and to all the people of the former Northeast Army in front of him: "A soldier would rather die on the battlefield than a traitor...... Little devil, don't treat us as people. ”
At the junction of the 18th Regiment and the 233rd Regiment, there was an extra force of nearly one regiment, and the devils who attacked here, the Xiangji Fangshu Brigade had already lost more than half, and this time it was even less advantageous.
Kameda was helpless and couldn't report to Motegi, and Zhang Haipeng's group defected in front of the formation, but it still has to be said. Motegi jumped like thunder, gritted his teeth and pointed at Kameda helpless and said: "Your land, the military land is not, quickly take down the east gate land, and ......make up for it" Kameda Wufu bowed to Motegi like a criminal who had received amnesty, and his mouth kept saying, and he got on his horse and ran to his own position.
Section Chief Li and the others rushed back to the military headquarters, and before leaving, they wanted to bring Commander Li Mingren to the military headquarters and meet the commanders of the military department, which could be regarded as a testimony of his sincerity. He said that he would not go anywhere, and said to Section Chief Li: "I won't go, Li Mingren, who was in the Imperial Cooperative Army, has no shame to see a famous anti-Japanese general." Please tell the commanders to rest assured that even if you die, you will die on the battlefield and will never surrender again. ”
Section Chief Li deliberately asked him to contact Zhang Haipeng, saying that if he was moved to surrender, the 41st Army would not care about the past suspicions. He had a difficult look on his face and said, "Commander Zhang, I have followed him for many years, and his job is not easy to do." The two ends of the Taishou rat ......"
