Chapter 187 The retreat of the Mengjiang River in the stage of anti-Japanese resistance in the northeast
After Lin Junxiong returned to the army, he divided Fang Yun's column into two and went to the west and north of Mengjiang County to operate respectively, while Tang Jijun's second column and himself launched a strike on the garrisons in the east. All troops should immediately withdraw from the Mengjiang River after five days, the eastern part of the first column will withdraw from the direction of Panshi County, the western troops will withdraw from the direction of Liuhe County, and the second column in the north will enter the branch of the Changbai Mountains and withdraw from the Longgang Mountains of Huinan County to Panshi County.
On August 2, 1939, many Japanese troops and puppet troops in the north and west of Mengjiang County were attacked, and the number of troops attacking them was small, but they seemed to be out of nowhere, and many scattered small units were devastated, and the Japanese army and puppet army had to shrink to some important strongholds to defend.
On 3 August, the northern and western parts of Mengjiang County, which had been surrounded by gunsmoke yesterday, suddenly became surprisingly calm, while a Japanese squad and nearly 200 puppet troops in the eastern part of Mengjiang County were suddenly attacked, and less than 30 people escaped. In the afternoon, the Japanese puppet garrison at the junction of Mengjiang County and Huinan County was attacked, and by the time they organized a counterattack, they had lost the trace of attacking their troops, and the garrison did not dare to pursue, so they had to hold on to the base.
Ryuichiro Kishitani slapped his hands on the table and roared through gritted teeth: "Baga, this hateful Lin Junxiong, scurrying around like a sable, causing wolf smoke everywhere around Mengjiang County, and the imperial warriors are constantly dying, but we can't find his exact location, I want to destroy him, destroy this hateful fox!" ”
After Ryuichiro Kishitani vented, he slowly calmed down and said, "Yubin-kun, what do you think of the current situation, what kind of deployment are we going to take to stop them from fleeing in all directions and attacking our troops everywhere?" ”
Cheng Yubin glanced up and said expressionlessly: "Your Excellency, our autumn crusade offensive has not yet been deployed, many troops have not yet been concentrated, and now the troops of the Mengjiang County Empire are less than 5,000 people, I think we will first concentrate the scattered troops and send a certain number of mobile troops to support at any time." At the same time, the reconnaissance units and local departments were ordered to act quickly, and after investigating their specific locations, they would be encircled and annihilated. I don't believe they can always be so efficient in raiding warfare without resupplying food and supplies. ”
Since the adultery incident of Cheng Yubin's wife and Zhang Jiruo's three cronies and brothers was revealed a few days ago, Cheng Yubin seemed to recover after three days of venting on the Japanese woman sent by Ryuichiro Kishitani, but he couldn't see a smile on his face anymore, he said very little words, but the words he said were terrible, Zhang Jiruo and the three did not dare to approach him easily, and several of his subordinates inadvertently talked about some adultery, and they were directly killed by him. So after a few days, the atmosphere in Cheng Yubin's advance team became depressing, no one dared to laugh, and no one dared to talk about men and women.
On August 4, after Ryuichiro Kishitani made some arrangements, he waited for the good news to come, but after a whole day, the news from everywhere was not found, which made him very puzzled, and even doubted whether this force of Lin Junxiong had withdrawn from Mengjiang County.
When the defenders everywhere thought that the unknown forces had disappeared and began to relax their vigilance, that night, except for the south, as many as seven or eight places on the other three sides of Mengjiang County were attacked by the Japanese army and the puppet army overnight, and the Japanese army killed nearly 300 people, and the puppet army killed nearly 500 people.
"Baga, this cunning fox, I must kill him with my own hands. Yubin-kun, your so-called stick plan is not feasible at all, if this continues, the reconnaissance team has not found out the news, and our warriors of the Great Japanese Empire will be killed and wounded, we must take the initiative to attack and implement a sweeping policy, so that they have nowhere to hide, and wipe them all out! Ryuichiro Kishitani roared again when he heard the news.
Cheng Yubin thought for a while and said, "Your Excellency Kishiya, I suggest that we observe for another two days, and if it really doesn't work, then all of them will be dispatched to eliminate them in one fell swoop." ”
Ryuichiro Kishitani listened to Cheng Yubin's advice last time, but it still didn't work, Lin Junxiong still tortured his nerves, he said disapprenously: "What are you waiting for, what are you observing, if they exist, my great Japanese warriors will be more dangerous, this time I will do as I say, I don't believe that my five thousand imperial Japanese warriors can't wipe out these hundreds of remnant bandits, this time I will personally go to command." ”
Cheng Yubin thought of Lin Junxiong's terribleness, and was embarrassed for a long time, but still insisted: "Your Excellency, I suggest that the defenders of Liuhe County and Huinan County be mobilized first to form a siege against them. ”
Ryuichiro Kishitani shook his head in disappointment when he saw that Cheng Yubin's fear of this Lin Junxiong had never changed, but thinking of Lin Junxiong's elusiveness recently, he still had to nod and said: "Well, it makes sense, I immediately ordered the defenders of the surrounding counties to block the direction of their escape, strictly check the passers-by, and prevent them from escaping smoothly." In addition, some of the troops in the south were transferred to the other three directions to reinforce them, and Yang Jingyu's troops only needed to block the place where they had to flee, and first solve Lin Junxiong's troops, and then clean him up after turning around. ”
Cheng Yubin wanted to say something, but seeing that Ryuichiro Kishitani seemed to have made up his mind, he nodded and stood aside, silent.
Ryuichiro Kishitani was originally very satisfied with Cheng Yubin now, at least his loyalty has met his expectations, and his talent is also showing, but he is less energetic, and he will not even take the initiative to communicate with himself, which makes him shake his head a little disappointed.
The situation did not go according to Ryuichiro Kishitani's expectations, and on August 5, just as the garrisons of the surrounding counties of Mengjiang County were constantly gathered, Mengjiang County encountered fierce attacks in the east, west, and north directions.
At the same time, due to the reduction of the Japanese army and the puppet army, Yang Jingyu led the troops to rush out of the Sandao Laoyefu wetland and retreated to the area of Sandao Weizi, the Japanese army and the puppet army responsible for encirclement and suppression pursued frantically, but they were constantly ambushed by Yang Jingyu's troops along the way, and suffered heavy casualties.
On August 6, for a whole day, there was no movement in Mengjiang County; On August 7, the territory of Mengjiang County was still calm; On August 8, everything in Mengjiang County was still as calm as ever.
Ryuichiro Kishitani slapped the table angrily, three days passed, and the reconnaissance troops sent out found nothing, and he began to realize that Lin Junxiong's troops and Yang Jingyu's troops had escaped from Mengjiang County, according to the accounts of the troops involved in the battle, he and Cheng Yubin discussed and determined that Yang Jingyu's troops had entered Tonghua County, while Lin Junxiong's troops had entered the area of Liuhe County and Huinan County. He immediately sent a brigade to each of the three counties to reinforce him, and at the same time sent troops from other places to try to find traces of Yang Jingyu and Lin Junxiong in these three counties.
However, some disappointments were one after another, Yang Jingyu and Lin Junxiong led the troops as if they had evaporated, and no trace could be found, and the entire Japanese army's autumn offensive could not even find a focus point in the Tonghua area, and the layout of the autumn offensive had just begun to fall into a predicament, and Ryuichiro Kishitani could only order to pay close attention to every move in the 16 prefectures of the Northeast Province, disperse the troops planned for the autumn offensive, and carry out dragnet searches in each county.
When Ryuichiro Kishitani was so anxious that he was thundering, Yang Jingyu had already returned to the secret camp in the Heli base area with his troops to rest, and Lin Junxiong also returned to the Lianhuashan base area to conduct a new round of training for the troops.
The summer in the Northeast is still very hot, the sun has set on the mountain before five o'clock, but the heat is still reluctant to recede, and I know that I still keep shouting and protesting against the sultry heat. Lin Junxiong stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the way back from Fang Yunyi in the southwest, the troops withdrawn from Liuhe County had arrived at the base area a few days ago, according to Lin Junxiong's estimation, Fang Yun should have returned to the base area with another part of the troops a few days ago, but there was still no news so far, could it be that something happened? Lin Junxiong began to be a little worried, and he decided to go to Panshi County to find out the situation with Chunmu Dongzi to see if he could know if Fang Yun's troops were trapped in the upper part or were scattered by the Japanese.
When Lin Junxiong came to Panshi County, he saw Japanese soldiers and puppet soldiers shuttling through the streets everywhere, expressing his meaning to Asano Taro, so Lin Junxiong wandered around the streets, while observing the situation in the city. When he walked through Chengnan Street, he saw a Hansheng dry goods store being renovated, and when he walked into the store that was being renovated, Lin Junxiong saw Wu Hansheng's third uncle Wu Mingyuan directing the workers to work, and he asked in surprise: "Third Uncle Wu?" How did you get here? ”
Wu Mingyuan said with a smile: "It's Junxiong, this is where your foundation in the Northeast is later, I took it in Japan for a while a few years ago, and I can also handle the relationship between the Japanese, and my identity and background have already been whitewashed, as soon as Han Sheng said it, I took the initiative to invite Ying, I believe that my old bones are still helpful." ”
Lin Junxiong stepped forward to help him sit down, and said a little angrily: "Third Uncle Wu's ability Junxiong must believe it, but he wants to cause you to suffer, and Han Sheng is exactly right, he actually sent the two pillars of the Wu family to the northeast." ”
"Han Sheng understands the importance of the Northeast to you in his heart, not only I came, Lao Zhao went to Tonghua, but Wu Dafang also went to Changchun, he spared no effort to help you, Junxiong, the third uncle just hopes that you don't let Han Sheng have an accident, he is the backbone of the Wu family." Wu Mingyuan said and held Lin Junxiong's hand tightly and looked at him with pleading eyes.
As soon as Lin Junxiong heard that Wu Dafang was also here, Han Sheng actually sent all the "Wu Family Three Heroes" to the Northeast to assist him, this brother really had nothing to say, he said seriously: "Third uncle, don't worry, I am here in Hansheng, I will do my best to protect my brother." ”
Wu Mingyuan let out a long breath and said, "That's good, the hopes and burdens of our families have fallen on your children, we old guys just hope to live to see the Chinese drive away Little Japan, and also hope that Ryukyu can have a good ending, so that we will die safely." ”
"Third Uncle Wu, I know that you, like many people in the 'Min 36 surnames' family, have made Ryukyu your hometown, but Ryukyu has always been occupied by the Japanese, and I always hope that Ryukyu can become independent or return to China, so that thousands of Ryukyu Chinese can proudly say that they are Chinese. This road may be difficult, but we will never give up, Uncle Wu, you wait, there will be a day. Lin Junxiong said affirmatively.
Wu Mingyuan patted Lin Junxiong's hand and said, "Well, we believe in you and will wait patiently." Junxiong, Han Sheng told me all about the situation here, and I will soon build Panshi County into the center of our intelligence network in the entire Northeast, and you can come to me directly if you have any arrangements. ”
"Third Uncle Wu, the director here and the commander of the Japanese garrison can be trusted, you can rest assured that you can carry out your work, and the Japanese have increased their troops in Panshi County recently, you don't want to work for the time being."
