Chapter 33: The Battle of Ice City

"Why is it that every time the Japanese invaders come to sweep my Qinggang National Control Area? Why can't we be proactive? At present, although the Japanese are rampant, they are still rampant. However, the Pacific War had broken out, and the Kwantung Army was constantly sending elite soldiers to join the Pacific Theater.www.biquge.info The current Kwantung Army is no longer the Kwantung Army of the past. ”

"So, I think we've got the time to take the initiative. With the full strength of the 49th Army, launch an active campaign. The target is the ice city of Harbin! Didn't Yoshida want to sweep us up Aooka? We're going to take the initiative and attack his lair! The victory in this battle will surely inspire the confidence of all the people in the war of resistance! It will surely raise morale and boost the morale of the army! ”

As soon as Ren Laifeng's voice fell, the audience burst into long-lasting applause. The officers present were flushed and their ears were shining. Take the initiative! Maybe this is the courage of a truly strong army, right?

"My new 101st Division requests to be the vanguard and attack the enemy of Ice City first!" Fu Erchong stood up and wanted to grab the vanguard.

He is the oldest in the number of generals present, and it is difficult to say whether the combat effectiveness of the new 101st Division is the most powerful, but there is no doubt that Fu Erchong is the most combative. Therefore, as soon as Master Fu stood up, no one in the room of generals said a word, and everyone seemed to have tacitly agreed that the vanguard officer was Fu Erchong.

Ren Laifeng shook his head slowly, "Lao Fu, this time we don't have a pioneer officer, and we don't distinguish who comes first and who comes later." We don't siege cities. ”

Not a siege? How can Harbin be defeated without attacking the city? It seems unlikely that the devil will take the initiative to let it out, right? The generals were a little confused about Ren Laifeng's thoughts. Ren Laifeng turned his face to look at Deputy Commander-in-Chief Lin Xincheng, "Xincheng, tell me your opinion." ”

Lin Xincheng rose to the top, and Ren Laifeng was promoted to commander-in-chief of the group army, and he was the deputy commander-in-chief. Although the rank is still a major general, it is not the same as the previous deputy commander. It will be a matter of time before the lieutenant general is mentioned.

"I agree with what Junza said not to attack the city. Harbin is also a city in our country, and the people in the city are also Chinese. In the case of a siege, it is the citizens who will suffer the most. However, I don't have an idea how to fight if I don't attack the city, so I'd better say it. ”

"Well, Metro said it very well. The inhabitants of Harbin are all from our country, so why should we attack our own cities? Hurting our own people? I think we can adopt a ten-sided ambush strategy, surround the city from the periphery, cut off its food supplies, and trap the Japanese to death! ”

"However, the Japanese have airplanes, so they can make airdrops. Will our siege work? ”

Ren Lai had a smooth voice, and it was Gao Guixun, the commander of the New Tenth Army, who spoke. This person should have mustered up courage to speak on this occasion, and of course, it can also be said that he wants to integrate into Ren Laifeng Group as soon as possible.

"Airdrop? Hehe, will our soldiers only eat and sleep? He'll drop it, and we'll hit his airfield! The plane flew into the sky so hard that it couldn't carry two grenades when it fell to the ground! I think there are more devil planes, or do we have more grenades? We're not in a hurry, we can fight him slowly. One month doesn't work for two months, one year doesn't work for two years. I don't believe I can't beat him! ”

"The name of this battle is the Battle of Ice City! Xincheng, after the general staff has drawn up the battle plan, you will report to the Military Commission. We don't want any material support from him, as long as he can give us an official name. ”

"Yes, I'll leave that to me." Lin Xincheng accepted the task without giving up. Since the last time he escorted the national treasure into the capital, he had met many heavyweights, and Lin Xincheng believed that the plan of the 49th Group Army would definitely be passed.

The next step is to divide the war zone. The whole country is divided into large war zones, and Ren Laifeng wants to divide small war zones. Around the ice city of Harbin, the large area around Harbin was divided into eight theaters, with six divisions of the New Ninth Army responsible for six of them, and two divisions of the New Tenth Army responsible for the remaining two theaters.

The rest of the Flying Tiger Battalion, artillery brigade, cavalry brigade, and reconnaissance regiment are all under the direct jurisdiction of the General Headquarters of the Group Army. In this way, a big net against Count Yoshida and the Japanese invaders who invaded Harbin was quietly opened.

In Shangzhi Village, villager Zhang Xiwang got up early in the morning and went to pick up dung along the road at the entrance of the village. Hundreds of soldiers were blocked on both sides of the road at the entrance of the village, and Zhang Xiwang was stopped by others as soon as he left the village, "Fellow, ask you something, is this Shangzhi Village?" ”

"Boss, I, I didn't do anything bad! I just get up early in the morning to pick up some dung. You won't let you pick it up? Don't let me go back. ”

"Don't go, don't go, fellow! Let's pick up, we let pick up. We just asked you, is this called Shangzhi Village? ”

"Yes, yes. This village is called Shangzhi Village. Who are you looking for? There are no old households in the village that I don't know. Whoever you want, I'll take you. Maybe it was because of the kindness of these soldiers, Zhang Xiwang slowly became less afraid, and he even dared to offer to help.

"None of us are looking for it. Fellow, since you know a lot of people, please go back and tell the villagers that it's best not to go out these two days, we have to fight a battle outside our village. It's a devil fighter. The soldier who spoke for fear of causing misunderstanding among the villagers, finally explained one more sentence.

"Devil fighter? Are you devil fighters? Are you guerrillas who let the wind blow? Zhang Xiwang's eyes suddenly widened, and his eyes were full of expectation as he looked at the soldier who spoke.

"Of course we're devil fighters. Fellow, do you know Ren Laifeng? An officer walked over from behind and asked Zhang Xiwang.

"I don't know. But all of us in these ten miles and eight villages know Ren Laifeng, he is the commander-in-chief of the guerrillas, specializing in fighting devils! You haven't heard a smooth saying: Let the wind come and let the wind come, the devil will have a convulsion when he sees it, and the devil will have a gust of wind! Sir, are you a guerrilla who lets the wind come in? ”

"We are not guerrillas, but we are indeed soldiers of the wind." The official explained to Zhang Xiwang with a smile: "The troops led by Ren Laifeng used to be guerrillas, and we were all guerrillas. But now it's not called a guerrilla, we're now the New Ninth Army! Remember fellow countryman, Ren Laifeng's troops are now called the New Ninth Army! ”

"The New Ninth Army? I know. Ren Laifeng's guerrillas changed their name to the New Ninth Army. The guerrillas of the New Ninth Army, this is a nice name. Okay, sir, I'll go back now and tell the villagers not to leave the village for half a month, so that you can fight the devils well! ”
