Chapter 237: Post-Secrecy Day
The travel sedan came to a slow stop. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ The people in the info car got out of the car one after another, and stood solemnly along the road facing a desolate mountain valley with grass and trees. One of them, a gray-haired man, suddenly raised his hand slowly towards the hill and the opposite hillside and gave a military salute. The others then raised their hands in salute.
Although Xiaoqu didn't know what was going on, when he saw the solemn expressions of this group of old people, he also bowed deeply respectfully.
"Kid, you probably don't know, do you?" The person who led the salute slowly lowered his arms, almost word for word, and said affectionately: "There was originally a village here called Luotaiwa. It was an outpost of the anti-Japanese guerrilla war. In a sweep of Japanese devils, 173 people in the village, including the elderly and children, were all killed by the devils. β
"The guerrilla squadron of our district and the county guerrilla squadron arrived late that night, but it was too late. So we fought a counter-sweep and blocking battle against a squadron of Japanese troops on the opposite hillside. The other old man continued.
An old lady said, "Yes, the battle was fierce. After 16 hours of fierce fighting, the soldiers finished the last bullet, and finally launched hand-to-hand combat, and finally used the big knife to eliminate all the remaining stubborn little devils. β
"The district captain was shot by a traitor in the final big knife battle and died heroically." A sad and indignant voice said.
The mountains are solemn, and the whistling mountain wind brings gusts of pine waves, like a magnificent ode to the heroic soul of this nation. No tombstones, no markers. But this mountain, this tree, every inch of the hot earth watered with blood. They all remember the mighty and unyielding martyrs and heroic souls, calling for this indomitable national spirit.
A moment of silence is fleeting. After the old man who took the lead in saluting took the lead and bowed deeply to the mountains, rivers and earth, everyone silently turned around and got into the car. The car continues to wind its way up the winding mountain road.
"Minister Xu, I haven't been able to figure it out." An old man in the car asked, "That's true." How could a small mountain village be worth sending a squadron to sweep back then? Even if it is a squadron, the officer who leads the team is at most a big lieutenant. But when we cleaned up the battlefield, we found that the highest rank of the Japanese army killed was actually a major general. β
"Yes, as far as the intelligence gathered later, there should be more than one squadron. There is also a special squad. But instead of participating in the sweep, he went the other way. Minister Xu, you were the Chief of Field Intelligence at the time. What do you think? Another person also raised the question.
Shen Yun for a moment, Minister Xu coughed lightly, "How many years have passed?" There was another pause, and there was silence in the carriage.
"The secrecy day had passed in October of the previous year. China and Japan have also resumed diplomatic relations. Even if you say it, you don't violate discipline anymore. But even if you speak out, I am afraid that you will not believe it. Your news is correct. At that time, in addition to the main force led by the major general to carry out the sweep, the Japanese army also had a special squad of seven people.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, it was discovered when analyzing the captured Japanese army archives. The attack on the squadron in Lok Tai Wa was a cover for the operation of the special task force, and it was also to clear the way for the special task force.
This resistance war was viewed from the perspective of the strategic principles and tactics of the War of Resistance Against Japan. The anti-encirclement and suppression campaign we have organized and the destruction of the enemy's vital forces are completely correct. But what you won't believe is that even we don't destroy the invading enemy squadrons. We are powerless to stop the advance of this special squad. β
"How so?"
"Why do you say that?" There was a lot of talk in the car for a while.
"Look. That's why it's classified as confidential. Minister Xu nodded and said very seriously: "According to the documents and records seized after the surrender of the Japanese. At that time, the members of the special detachment sent here were all non-military personnel with special status. Five of the Japanese identity registration teams are 'samurai' and two are 'warriors'.
The 5 warriors are easier to explain, which is equivalent to the Chinese folk call the people who practice martial arts 'Lianjiazi'. The strange two 'soldiers' were different from the Japanese word for 'soldier' used by the Japanese army.
At that time, the General Staff and the Confidential Service had not been able to agree on how to translate correctly. Because it can be translated as 'samurai', 'samurai' and 'soldier'. However, considering that it is noted that the special squad is a non-military person, it is not a soldier. There are already 5 people who are called samurai, and all of them indicate that the dispatching agency is 'special'.
Therefore, at that time, one side thought that it was appropriate to translate 'martial arts strong people', and the other side thought that it was appropriate to translate it as 'special forces'. No matter how it is translated, it shows that the armament and personal ability of these seven people are not something that our county brigade at that time can compete with. In addition, the mountains here are steep and the land is vast and sparsely populated. We cannot impose a total and complete blockade. β
The people on the car are all experienced in battles, and they are fighting guerrillas in this area, so they are quite familiar with the terrain here. Listening to Minister Xu's analysis, they all nodded yes.
Minister Xu sank, and then said; "For the Japanese military archives of the operation target of this special team, there are only two Japanese 'ζ€suo', that is, Chinese search or search. But there is no record of what the purpose of the search was.
The main reason why this file was not destroyed by the Japanese army was that only one of the seven people at that time later returned to the Japanese army and went crazy. The identities of the remaining six individuals were deemed missing.
During the war, due to the participation of non-military personnel in military operations, a Japanese squadron was annihilated, a major general died, and six members of the non-military special operations team were missing. The operation was classified as Operation Extra-High by the Army Department and the Army had no authority to hear it. Therefore, the original file was transferred back to the special high school, and the copy was retained. β
"Where are those six people? Are there any results? Is it lurking? Someone asked. After all, this place is located deep in the mountains. In the northeast of our country and in the jungles of Malaya, there are news that the hidden units of the Japanese Army during World War II have been discovered.
"This surviving man was found on the beach mouth of the lower reaches of the Bailong River known as Erlangdu. The man was dying. The Special High School has a record of the confession of the Japanese who escaped from the mountains. There are a lot of questions, but there are only three short records of the back and forth answers: 'γͺγΌγγΌγγγι£γΆ (flying to the sky)', 'ι’¨γ¨ε ±γ«ε»γγ¬ (passing away with the wind)', and 'unsolvable missing (incomprehensible disappearance)'.
Then there is the medical evaluation that was deemed insane, without any explanation for these words. Medical records indicate that the sole survivor also died about two days later. β
"Oh! By the way, I heard the local people say that the area around the mountain bay behind Dayakou has been rumored to be a sacred mountain since ancient times. There is only one bluestone paved ancient road to walk, and anyone who leaves the bluestone ancient road for half a step will encounter unimaginable things.
We believe that it is the customs of local ethnic minorities, and it is based on a high degree of respect in accordance with the party's ethnic policy. Not only in the important historical periods of the revolution, but also in the period of anti-Japanese guerrilla warfare, it was also regarded as an important discipline of the troops. An old lady agreed.
